Xiao visits Mt. Tianheng one autumn day, when the eternal yellow ginkgo leaves have started drifting off their branches. In the small inner courtyard of the thaumaturges’ residence, Chongyun is meditating quietly; breathing slow, eyes closed, sitting cross-legged on the ground. Xiao slowly approaches, careful not to disturb him.

“Xiao! You’re back!” Chongyun opens his eyes, beaming brightly up at him.

Something impossibly warm washes over Xiao. Chongyun’s pure heart is ever so radiant, like a little ball of light. He can’t help it—he tilts Chongyun’s face up, presses a tender kiss on his waiting lips.

“Yes, I’m back.”

Inspired by this tweet!

[ID: A short comic involving Xiao and Chongyun from Genshin Impact.

First image starts by showing Xiao takes a spoonful of Almond Tofu. The next panel is a close up of Xiao as he takes a bite. A small chunk of tofu can be seen stuck at the corner of his lips. The third panel shows both of them sitting side by side, where Chongyun is staring at Xiao.

Second image starts with Xiao asking, "Do you want some?" Chongyun hurriedly replied, "Ah- no no!" Next panel is a close-up of Chongyun where he taps the corner of his mouth. A thought bubble reads, "It would be rude to say it out loud right...?" The third panel has them in chibi-sized, staring at each other. The next panel zooms out even more, with Chongyun thinking, "Did he get it?" while Xiao blushes.

Third image starts with Chongyun's hand reaching out, while saying "I'm sorry Adeptus Xiao." Xiao lets out a "Huh?" The next panel has Chongyun leaning in close to Xiao, wiping off the tofu while Xiao blushes furiously. The third panel shows Chongyun licking his finger while saying, "Sorry, there was some tofu just now." The next panel is a chibi Chongyun with text writing "Wait..." on top of his head.

Fourth image shows both Xiao and Chongyun blushing. Xiao puts his head in his hand and a thought bubble of him kissing Chongyun's cheek is crossed out. Chongyun, in the background covers his face with his palm while internally screaming.

Fifth image has both of them as tiny heads. Chongyun is eating popsicle while Xiao is eating Almond Tofu. Both of them are embarrassed and looking to the opposite direction of each other. End ID.]

NOTE: I have so much to say about the Poetry Gala Event because I enjoyed it so much. It's going to be lengthy but feel free to read me rambling haha.

I don't mean to be dramatic but... Chongyun enthusiasts, WE WON! I'm so happy that he was able to show up so much in this event! Like he actually got lines and so much screentime!! I know he always appears in Lantern Rite, but this just hits different. Did you see how fast he was talking and the way he did his little jump after having those chili peppers? XD Also the way he was giving Xingqiu some sass at the at the end of the story? Show him, Chongyun!

And I never thought I would be able to see two of my favorite characters in the same frame! This is going to keep me fed until the next Lantern Rite haha.

On a similar note, this event was just as good as last year's goofy Lantern Rite! I will never stop talking about how much I love it when characters from different nations are able to meet each other, like the whole Xingqiu/Mika/Noelle interaction was really sweet! (But the way Xingqiu told them to just not get caught when sneaking away from home XD He's such a bad influence haha)

AND THIS. The way Zhongli and Venti were looking at the children, it really solidifies the fact they they're retired. Don't mind me crying over here 🥺

I didn't expect the event to dive a bit into Diona's lore, so that was really cool!! Also really glad that learning about Oceanids and their power kind of helped Chongyun come to terms with his yang energy. (I shall now wait patiently for some lore drop on Chongyun.)

The whole story was just so nice. And the MUSIC for Callirhoe's story was the final cherry on top 👌

[welcometoteyvat]

Hello! Do you have any recommendations on Zhongli/Xiao, or Chongyun and Xiao (either romantic or general) fics?

rubs hands together indeed i do. also highly recommend checking out the authors bc a lot of them have other incredible fic for the characters you're looking for!!

zhongxiao

Give me your heart (and I'll show you how to feel) by peredain (M, ongoing, 40k, some dom/sub themes, modern au) i will love modern aus until the end of time and this one has good plot, descriptions, and the feels. also i love that the yaksha group dynamics are fleshed out in this! they're so rare to find

fault lines by viverella (T, 23k, oneshot). scream. the tenderness and tension in this is so gentle. i fell to my knees bc these two old men. zhongli's voice is so nicely written :')

to carve nature at its joints (author commentary) and for services rendered by yelp (oneshots, 1k and 2k) the first is based on xiao's dream eating ability, and the second is about morax's inevitable erosion. the author has such an ability with words and their descriptions of xiao's loyalty, and zhongli's trust. i cherish greatly

bird in a cage by stormyseasons (gen, 33k, complete) i need to finish this but ohhhhhh it is insane,, the tenderness..... it traces xiao and zhongli's past through the archon war. also yaksha dynamics in this are so good

xiaoyun

i linked 4 in this post (please read these they're incredible) but heres more

lonely reflections (complete, 41k, M) and the sequel paper cranes (ongoing, 14k, E) by NocturnalFriend. chongyun's demon hunting expedition in the chasm takes a wrong turn. ive been meaning to read both but have heard v good things

intact by blurredbarcode; oneshot, gen, short and sweet!

reduced to just standing around, how absurd by justafellow04 this one's cute! it's an elaboration of a lantern rite lore bit that says chongyun's yang doesn't actually help xiao and its sweet :-)

also while im here: self promo of my xiaoyun writing exercises lol (v short drabbles of these two in different scenarios)

xiao and chongyun

"I won't let you become me, you'll be so much more" (170k words, ongoing) by snubton, which I think a lotttttt of people are fond of; I haven't read it myself (..writing style turnoff) but I've heard a bunch of good things. chongyun and xiao mentor mentee journey basically

after winter comes spring. 1/5 chapters, unfinished, featuring chongyun's yang energy and a flashback. it's sweet <3

[cryoexorcist]

Hellooo! It's not so much a goofy ask, but: what made you intrigued by Chongyun? What's a fact about him you like, what's a headcanon about him you haven't gotten the chance to write about?

And last but not least: talk about Xiao / Chongyun (whichever context you like!) 💕 please!

ahh, Chongyun, my beloved.

I started playing Genshin because I was fully interested in Diluc. I thought his character looked the most interesting, and I wanted so badly to have him. I loved the idea of playing with a claymore character. Unfortunately, I never got Diluc. I did get Chongyun though! And at first I was...very underwhelmed. This was not the uber strong pyro character everyone was raving about, here was a 4 star cryo character.

But since I wanted a claymore user, I decided to play around with Chongyun and see how I liked him. I thought some of his voicelines were cute, and slowly I became invested in his lore. I was becoming more and more attached not only to him as a character, but as my main party member. And then while playing with friends, we started doing crack rp with each other and my love for him grew even more.

It wasn't until last year when I finally made an rp blog for him. I didn't have very many ideas starting out, I just wanted to do some bullshit and have fun. But every interaction I had with him gave me more and more ideas for headcanons and au ideas, and I just. Cannot let this guy go. He is my scrunkly, my baby, my cryo exorcist who needs far more love and respect in the fandom because he's so disrespected it's sad. But I love him and I will spread my agenda. Everyone will come to love and appreciate this 4 star who's secretly a five star, cause CHONGYUN IS A NUKE, PLAY HIM.

And as for Xiaoyun!!!

I initially made the blog with an entirely different ship in mind. I didn't actually start enjoying Xiao x Chongyun until after I met @viigilant, and I started thinking and putting various lore bits together, and it completely exploded from there. Xiao x Chongyun is so incredibly important not just to me, but it's doing both characters a complete disservice to not acknowledge it in some regard. The two are intrinsically tied together if you read between the lines in lore. They have a great amount of stuff in common, they have the same ideals and morals, and of course you have Chongyun who already respects and looks up to Xiao canonically.

I choose to disregard canon (lantern rite especially) in the aspect that they haven't met. With how many centuries the exorcists have been working alongside Xiao, and with Xiao dismissing their abillities, there's no way they haven't met before the lantern rite. I am annoyed that Hoyo is that dismissive of a very important relationship that SHOULD have been canon from the word go.

I am very inclined to think that the two are close. Chongyun actively worships Xiao, referring to him as 'my Lord', and following orders. Chongyun's very devout in his worship, and would always put Xiao first, because Chongyun strives to be like him. You don't desire to become the best exorcist in all of Liyue without knowing and appreciating the first five exorcists to exist!

Whether people ship it or not, or just see a very close platonic relationship, it doesn't matter, because at the end of the day, the two should have been Liyue's powerhouse, the nation's protective due working in tandem from the beginning. But then again, Hoyo forgets Chongyun exists anyway, so I gotta create my own lore for him and hope people come to see what I see.
