Summary
Aether knew he was fading. The stars were telling him to go back home. He took a deep breath, letting the breeze caress his face and kiss him like an old lover. He looked at the skies and wondered if he truly belonged there when all the people he loves are at an arm’s length now. Is it greed? Aether wondered.
Maybe not. Maybe he's also just starting to finally find his place too..
A place just for him.
So, before he fades with the stars, he wanted to spend his final Lantern Rite with Xiao—the man he loved for all his time in Teyvat-- only for the Adeptus to ditch him at the last minute because of his fear towards his karmic debt.
A story of love and second chances. Will Aether disappear, or can Xiao save the enigma that landed in Teyvat and realize that Aether is...
a star just for him. -

Summary
"What's so far been another ordinary day turns unique, one of a kind, as though charcoal compressed into a priceless diamond. A gem as brilliant as the aura surrounding the Traveler, which sparks and swirls, leaving trails around him whenever he moves, whenever he strikes. A glittering afterimage.
The unmistakable scent of the stars permeates the cold air. Stars, so distant, they're uncharted in the sky above.
A mystery unexplored. New knowledge."
Or how an alchemist full of secrets meets a traveler full of mystery. Together, they take on the world by taking turns mending each other as the circumstances never cease trying to break them down.

Summary
The last thing Aether ever expected when he got stranded on Teyvat without his sister and with a fussy child was to fall in-love. Afterall, he's vowed to never settle down in a world, he has to find his sister and continue his star-crossed journey of exploring the universe.
Well, having a fleeting crush on a Hot and touch starved adeptus is one thing and another to actually get attached, fuck and hold hands ...
So what's a Traveller supposed to do when he has a little seedling inside him? Just like any problem, push it to back of his mind till he can't ignore it anymore.
Things just can't get worse than this, right?

Summary
Aether did everything he could to avoid calling Xiao to fight for him as the last thing he wanted was to use Xiao as if he were nothing more than a weapon.
However, one day when he is attacked by a demon, this leads to them both ultimately having to address their feelings and lay their cards on the table.
At the same time, all of that was new to the Yaksha, who needed the traveler's help to come to terms with what he was feeling.

Summary
The night sky shines on him. That shattered moon stares him down like a reminder of the war from earlier. The war against the Abyss, the actual war. Not Lumine's attempt to hide her asking for the help of the Lord of the Night.
Had he come all this way just to see that his sister had become so distant? Had he lost his sister to guilt? To his own mistakes?
To the time paradox of the Heavenly Principals? To Istaroth?
"We have always... had enough time."
What a cruel joke.
(or: Instead of sitting in silence, Aether calls for a bit of emotional support at the end of A Space and Time for You.)

Summary
"Seventy-two days since we last saw each other, sixty-seven before that, and before that 283. In other words I waited two and a half months to see you twice in a row and almost eleven before that. That's 407,520 minutes." Xiao's eyes shimmered in the setting sun like golden waves on a beach and never left Aether's. The eye contact took the blond's breath away, almost forgetting he was in the middle of a conversation he muttered a reply. "How could you possibly know that?" "I counted."

“You’re so affectionate when you're sleepy.” Aether says.
“I’m always affectionate with you.”
“Sure..”
A bit playful, Albedo tilted Aether’s head to the side to land a quick kiss on the lips. “See?”
The pinkness on Aether’s cheeks might be the loveliest shade.
