    Summary

    “If you awake to a knife at your throat, if monsters dig their claws into you, if death comes knocking at your door... call out my name.

    “Adeptus Xiao.”

    His name is oft spoken - by merchants fearful of the ghosts of Wuwang Hill as a superstition to ward them off, by travelers to Wangshu Inn paying respect, or by lost souls pleading for salvation at Guyun.

    His is a name meant to exist on the winds from here to perpetuity, long after this body has worn out, for it is a name gifted by the Lord of Geo and as such, is meant to serve the people of his land.

    And it is a fine name, a title meant to be carried with respect, with reverence … with the same hope Rex Lapis had once granted Xiao.

    But tonight, his name reaches him in a different way.

    Carried on the winds from the distant shores of Liyue Harbor, his name echoes in an odd way - in a sigh, in a whisper … in a moan wreathed in, frankly, blasphemous desire.

    In which Xiao accidentally intrudes on Zhongli's dream and learns of all the ways his lord could have had him

    Summary

    And yet, even still, Xiao can do nothing as Zhongli waves a small auburn pouch around and says, “I’ve noticed you’ve been a little more tense, recently.”

    (alternatively: xiao and zhongli get high together.)

    Summary

    At dawn, before the silken window,
    Is it too cold for plum blossom to show?

     

    ~~~
    After a particularly difficult battle against intractable enemies, Morax is drained, exhausted, and short of strength, even after resting during the yearly winter truce.

    Xiao, devoted as ever, offers his lord a solution to his problem: use him as a cauldron and regain his strength.

    Summary

    In the wake of his most recent encounter with Azdaha, Morax is more affected than he would let on to anyone but his closest adepti.

    Xiao offers a distraction - and, quite unintentionally, creates a chance for something more to blossom between himself and the Lord he has loved secretly for years uncountable.
