also… been having a figure skater xiaophros au in my head recently… xiao’s an up-and-coming star who never really asked for the popularity, and aphros is the quiet artistic kid he’s had a crush on since he was seven

#the vibes are formulating #i feel like in every xiaophros story there’s always a couple of spiderverse-esque canon events #i.e. havria’s death…….. sorry aphros you ain’t escaping this one #and also losing the other yakshas in some way or other (whether that be death or losing contact)#and probably xiao’s abusive upbringing (he can’t get away from that either hahahahahahah)#that reminds me i need to write the pianist thing as well oh lord #but anyway.#yeah.#maybe havria passed from disease in this au? because the context isn’t quite as dramatic as a literal worldwide god war #zhongli started out as xiao’s coach before catching onto the mistreatment in his home life and took him under his wing…?#(basically the same as the pianist thing. sorry. the formula works ok)#and then for xiao and aphros… maybe they went to the same pre-school/ primary school?#they met shortly after xiao started skating methinks #or maybe they just lived close to each other as neighbours or something #i can imagine aphros being an international student who moved to liyue from somewhere else (sal terrae…?) at an early age #and maybe havria didn’t come with them (like how she stayed in sal terrae during the a.w.) but they stayed in contact #and she was kind of aphros’ only close friend (and crush) as they settled into this new country #even as they began to grow closer with xiao #and then havria fell sick and aphros couldn’t be there…#oh yeah. they are NOT escaping the trauma #but yeah! xiao and aphros are both slight misfits in this au i guess and they slowly grow closer #then they get separated for some time for some reason (like during the a.w. in the fic)#potentially as xiao’s fame grows he has less time to spend on himself and his personal relationships? and they sort of fall out of contact #and then they bump into each other again when they’re older #maybe at uni or something #i really should stop now #goodnight #r.ambling in the tags #i think i’m going to start using that tag now for when this happens
