In Which a God Learns Faith
Xiao x Gn!Reader
(Note however that there are mentions of hair long enough to tangle in earrings.)
Summary: One would assume a god to be the foremost authority on faith- but no matter. Or perhaps it's just your beloved Adeptus that is used to dutifully receiving, yet quietly refraining from trusting his own in the hands of another.
This is a problem, because jealously guarding your faith leaves your heart rather bare. And when your familiar mortal fingers lift it gently up to keep for themselves, all Xiao can do is pray- trust- that asking for yours in return won't end too badly.
Without ever realising he's been its keeper for a rather long while.
Alternatively: Xiao’s not nearly as good at concealing his feelings as he thinks, Xiao’s friends are not nearly as good at minding their business as he wishes they were, you, dear reader, are the most charming fool of all- and both the protagonist and and love interest of this story cast aside their cowardice with the encouragement of many, many cheerleaders just to end up first in the wrong place- then later, thankfully, exactly where you’ve wanted to be for a very, very long time.

In which everyone is sick of your and Xiao’s pining, and ergo endeavour to make a pair out of you.
Pairing: Xiao x Reader
Supporting Cast: the wise Ushi of the Arataki Gang (couldn’t have done it without him), the earnest Arataki Itto of the Arataki Gang, the accomplished Kuki Shinobu of the Arataki Gang, the articulate Ms. Yanfei, a rather exasperated Ms. Yelan, the rather elderly Mr. Zhongli of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor (can’t escape him), the assiduous Ms. Hu Tao of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, the truly chivalric Mr Xingqiu of the Feiyun Family, the adaptable Ms. Verr Goldet of Wangshu Inn, a rather angry divine noodle of the Bubu Pharmacy, her ailing steed (Dr. Baizhu of the Bubu Pharmacy), and the list would stretch on for far longer if I were to include our less relevant, yet ever indispensable members.
