2025/2026 XVX Fic Recs!
So maybe I'm a little late on this one. I did fully intend to post this list around the holidays like usual, but around the end of last year I hit a major reading slump around the time that my interest in xv as my main otp began to wane. Despite that, I still really wanted to get one final list done, since 3 is a nice number! It just took me like 6 and a half extra months to get done no big deal lol
As with any rec list, mind any tags and warnings, and if anything isn't for you, that's okay! Now without further ado, here are 10 fics that I read in 2025/26 that I think other xvx fans would enjoy!
Past Years: 2023, 2024

my only friend through teenage nights, by mtskou (@mtskou) [Teen, 18.3k, One-Shot]
“You used to play your original songs a lot,” Xiao says softly, tracing the knuckles of his left hand. “Why don’t you do that anymore?” Barbatos takes a moment to answer. “I guess I wasn’t sure anyone wanted to hear them.” “I did,” Xiao says, surprising himself with how immediate his response is. “I liked them all.” “Oh,” says Barbatos. After eight years of silently listening to the radio show that saved his life as a teenager, Xiao finally calls in after the host, Barbatos, disappears for a week. He expects that to be the only time he calls, but Barbatos seems to have other plans. One thing leads to another, and Xiao ends up calling the station each week – until a disastrous realisation at Barbatos’s first live performance. in other words: xiaoven radio au 😋
Last year I went on a spree of reading road trip aus, because they have this Vibe to them that I’m kind of obsessed with, and while not entirely the same, I think radio aus fall into a very similar area for me. Which is to say that I loved the quiet, slow-tech mundanity that shaped Xiao’s nightly routine listening to Venti’s witching hour broadcast, even after said routine was sent veering off track. Even in the midst of a major reading slump, this fic managed to pull me in with not only its premise, but characterization that felt very classic xvx to me, which I absolutely adored. Also, shoutout to the author’s aroace xv propaganda, I see you and I love you (platonically).

partial ocean view, by Schistosity (@schistcity) [Ongoing, Teen, 35.8k, 5/7 chapters]
“I am not a ‘kid’,” the boy spits, drawing himself up to his full height of whatever feet and nothing inches. “The name given to me is Xiao, though some mortals know me better as the Conqueror of Demons—” he throws his head back defiantly, which is adorable, “—I am a yaksha in the eternal service of the people of Liyue, favoured by Rex Lapis, not some glorified troubadour.” Verr blinks. “Wow you’re... you’re an insane person, aren’t you?” She says. ✧ Verr Goldet has run the Wangshu Inn alongside her husband for almost a decade. Their oldest patron insists he was there first. Or, the building of a sanctuary. Told in olive branches refused, taken, and freely given.
While not a xvx fic on pretty much any technicality, this is a must-read for any Xiao lover (which how could any of us not be!) Xiao was released under the banner titled “Invitation to Mundane Life,” and this fic perfectly embodies the journey that he was promised to take. As Xiao is gradually pulled out of his hermitage and unwittingly grows closer to Verr Goldet and the newest generation of Wangshu Inn staff, he learns to navigate change and loss in a more human way than before, and comes to realize that there are people who pray for his safe return from every battle he fights. The couple of xv crumbs that the author has sprinkled in are just an extra bonus.

never dreamed of nobody like you, by merthurlin (Bluesky: @/merthurlin.bsky.social) [Teen, 32.4k, One-Shot]
“Freedom, huh?” Cecili murmurs. “Is this what this is? Not having my memories—is that freedom?” He’s worrying the grass between his fingers, tearing out some of it in absentmindedness. “For some, it might be,” Xiao says, echoing his earlier thoughts. “Do you think that’s what freedom means for you, Cecili?” The bard lets out a small, wry laugh. “What do I know of freedom,” he says, and watches as the grass blades drift away in the wind. A stray amnesiac bard makes a home for himself in Qingce Village. Despite himself, Xiao visits, again and again.
Amnesia, when done well, is such a good vessel to explore who characters are at their core, and when it’s done really well, it can reveal things about the characters around the amnesiac too. Xiao’s “ill-advised summer fling”, as the author puts it in their tags, has romantic tension in spades, but just as many moments of quiet introspection. Qingce Village is brought to life by this intimate story that takes place there, and such a down-to-earth setting helps to ground both of the immortal leads as well as they realize the joy to be found in letting others in and hearing their stories, and how that can save you when the world feels like it’s falling apart. This is by far my favorite xv fic that I’ve ever read, and if you read nothing else on any of my lists, let it be this. Maybe I’m biased, but I would call this XVX Essential Reading.
