About nicebonescomrade

Hey, @nicebonescomrade wanted me to relay the message that she had to delete their parents made them delete their account. They weren’t happy she was posting stuff and talking to strangers online.

The doc with all of her writing should still be working.

Here's the link:

Time for some ✨Xiao propaganda✨ in the name of my dearly beloved mutual; @nicebonescomrade. I promised you a celebratory Xiao fic for when you bring him home, and I have come to deliver early because I am that confident that you will bring him home on his next rerun! 😤

The first time his constellation lit up the night skies of Liyue, he allowed the seed of hope in his heart to take root. It was a feeling that he hadn’t allowed himself to indulge in for a long time. Each falling star filled him with more anticipation than the last.

But then his constellation had left the skies, replaced with another, and your call hadn’t come.

The second time his stars had appeared, he was less ready to let his hopes rise. And yet again, his stars passed without hearing your voice. His hopes had been smaller still the third time that his constellation lit up the skies, and just as those before it, it passed uneventfully.

The fourth time, he did not allow himself to grow hopeful. Surely there was a reason you had not called for him prior. He must have displeased you. That must be why your presence had not graced him. He was selfish to think that perhaps you would forgive him for what he must have done.

No, he was unworthy of your presence. He did not deserve to be one of your vessels. No matter how many times his stars appeared in the skies, he accepted that your call was not coming.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He had been on the balcony of the inn when it began. At first he couldn’t believe it. There had been only a handful of shooting stars throughout the last months of Teyvat. Yet as he stared in shock, star after star filled the night sky.

The world was lit by a swirl of blue and purple light as dozens of the falling stars streaked through the sky.

He nearly jumped in surprise when he saw a flash of gold.

There in the skies that were so bursting with colors, a golden light danced among the heavens.

The adeptus watched it in silent amazement, transfixed by the star. He was so awed by its light that he almost failed to notice that it was growing closer. It slowed as it reached him, and time seemed to freeze. His fingers brushed against the object in the center of the golden light, and a feeling of warmth rushed over him.

“Oh my gosh!!! Yes! Finally! He’s home! Welcome home Xiao! I’m so excited to finally see you show up! I knew the weeks grinding primogems was worth it. This is so great! I’m so glad your home Xiao!”

Adeptus Xiao was an expert at masking his emotions, wether with a physical mask or a mask of indifference, he hid his thoughts well. However, that night a few patrons confusedly told Verr that they had heard the sound of someone crying on the balcony. The woman had simply smiled and reassured them there was nothing to worry about. If anyone had inquired him about it directly, Xiao would have vehemently denied any theories that he had cried that night. Those who knew the boy adeptus though, well, they just may have noticed the faint red color dusting Xiao’s face.

How could he not have wept when your call finally came? He had expected to never hear it, yet you had wanted him. You had wanted his presence. He was more than willing to give it to you wholly.

Xiao had memories he treasured. The day that Rex Lapis had saved him, the happy times he spent with his fellow Yaksha, the day when he had met the Traveler, the day when he had felt your presence for the first time, they were all memories his held dear.

But the memory he held closest of all was of the night where you had finally become so clear to him, where the whispers in the wind that spoke your words became crystal clear, where your warm presence had fully wrapped around him, easing the weight of his karma.

His most treasured memory was of the night that you brought him home.

Reply to: @nicebonescomrade on my post about wanting to talk about sagau with someone

Hey hey! I love ur work but i can’t follow u from here (bc this is a side blog) but i follow from my main! ANYWAY I've taken this as my chance to dump a bunch of headcnaons out (as I would if I had friends) so here it is!!

Also I got a bit excited and got kinda carried away, so this got a bit longer than I meant it to be lmao

Warnings: SAGAU, mentions of blood and abuse, general sagau warnings

Headcanons under the cut

Zhongli may consider himself the most devoted acolyte, but really it’s Xiao. As I wrote in my last fic, Xiao was the last one to feel the creator’s light and warmth before they left Teyvat, and he was the first one to sense it again when they arrived, regardless of whether they arrived in Liyue or not.

In my lore, the reason people want visions so badly is not just because of the powers they may get, but also because having a vision means you have a higher chance of the creator themselves noticing you. This is based on how all the playable characters have visions of some sort.

In this Teyvat, having a vision also brings you closer to the creator because, although the stars guide everyone's paths, only vision holders have their own personal constellations.

When the god (player) rolls constellations for a character in real life, the stars in a character’s constellation in the sky of Teyvat will glow visibly brighter. In my sagau, Xiao’s constellation is currently the brightest in the sky, and that is reflected in how his hair, eyes, and the markings under his clothes glow. (This is because, as of writing this, I have him at c5. I could’ve gotten him to c6 if I didn’t also roll 2 Qiqis and a Diluc during his first banner 😔. I WILL be getting his c6 during his rerun tho.)

OKAY SO I love, love, l o v e the thought of the creator bleeding gold, but I also love the imposter aus, and it doesn’t make much sense to have both of those together? Because they would totally notice if darling bled gold. SO what if instead, their blood fresh out of their body is red, but it doesn’t turn gold until it starts to dry?

With that said, imagine the archon’s horror when they finally track down the "imposter" only to find them laying in a pool of liquid gold, and they finally notice that the cuts and scars and bleeding wounds are drying gold? How horrified would the people be if they went to clean the imposter's filthy blood off the walls to prevent it from staining their cities any further, only to see their own terrified expressions reflected back at them in the gold?

Okay, so this is gonna be what, the third time I’ve mentioned Xiao? And my third sagau post, and he’s been in all three of them? But it doesn’t matter; he’s my favorite, and naturally, this au will be influenced by my experiences anyway- In my sagaus, unless it’s a version that specifically says otherwise, Xiao will ALWAYS recognize the creator. He was born with the creator’s warmth and light, he’s felt it for as long as he could remember, and he remembers it better than most. However, as I wrote about in my other post, there was a time he didn’t remember. There was a time where he couldn’t remember his god’s name, or even their existence. And the first thing he did after being freed from Osial’s control was relearning all the prayers he had forgotten and trying everything to remember the feeling of his god’s light. He spent so long relearning everything about his god that he couldn't forget them again. So no matter what, no matter how much all the other nations call darling an imposter, Xiao knows. He forgot you once, and he refuses to let it happen again.

The reason all the "monsters" in the game can recognize Darling as their god when the others can’t is because they’re more humble. The people of Teyvat, although recognizing their god is higher than them, are still very entitled. They believe that wealth and offerings, monuments and statues are what’s going to please the god. They expect their god to give them a grand show when they enter Teyvat, some sort of sight of gold and light or whatever. So when their creator, a being of kindness and humility, appears before them as a normal ass human, they refuse to accept it, and are quicker to call them an imposter than an actual god. The monsters don’t have this mindset. They (and xiao and the people of Khaenri'ah) know that the creator doesn’t care about wealth or who has the nicest shrine or altar or whatever. The creator doesn’t care if you call them by some fancy title, they just care that you welcome them with open arms and extend kindness to others where you can. So the monsters are a lot more chill about it. (Xiao’s a bit in the middle of both, although the reason he isn’t as chill about it as he used to be is not because of human influence, but rather due to the trauma he has endured and the belief that he has to earn his god’s forgiveness, as if it was his fault that what happened to him happened. I’ll probably make him another post for that alone lmao)

Wow this sure is turning into a Xiao post huh lmao. Anyway, when they (the other adepti and the yakshas) agreed to a contract with Morax, one of the points of the contract was that if the creator ever entered Teyvat, their orders were to be ranked above Morax’s. So even if what the creator asked them to do was in direct violation of the contract, they could still follow it through because it’s more important. HOWEVER, this was never an issue for Xiao. Xiao is not loyal to Morax, Liyue, or even the other yakshas. He is loyal to his god and his god alone. Nobody else will ever take precedence over them, and he will never swear his allegiance to another being, because it is only reserved for his god. Because of this, in my sagau, Xiao doesn’t have an official contract with Morax and just does what he asks if he feels like his god would appreciate it.

Speaking of Khaenri'ah, the people of Khaenri'ah did not have a god ruling directly over them, so they learned to develop technology themselves. They still revere the creator and hold them in higher regard than all other beings, of course, but they also see their lack of a ruling god as a gift. It was the creator's way of allowing them a chance to learn independence and to not over rely on higher powers to handle everything for them. Because of this, they recognize that the creator would not really care about huge, grand displays of worship but is rather more chill. After all, if the god of gods cared about extreme shows of worship, wouldn’t they take the chance to rule the nation without a god themselves instead of leaving them godless?

Hhhhhh that’s all I’ve got for now, but if u (or anyone else) has thoughts I would love to hear them!!!!! This au is quickly turning into one of my favorites lmao
