#HAPPY BIRTHDAY XIAO
Text
a/n: happy bday to my fictional loml xiao tutu alatus my beloved
when xiao dreams, he's always going down.
it doesn't matter whether he's suffocated by the ocean of his karmic debt, feeling its claws sink into his feet, pulling him under; or gravity wrapping its heavy arms around his body as he plummets from the sky, xiao is always spiraling downwards.
it makes him hate dreaming, opting to clear his mind from the sinking weight of drifting towards sleep. slaying monsters by the borders of liyue makes his body sing from nothing but exhaustion. their blood is on his hands but at least the stains on his skin distract him from the weariness in his bones.
when he can no longer evade sleep, his nightmares come to him like wolves, his arms and hands enclosed by black whips, chaining him to a never ending bad dream while he tries to break free.
it ceases when he sees you amidst the darkness.
you were light embodied, the moon while he wanders tirelessly in the frightening forest of his mind. you smile and he feels the constricting of his chest weaken, a rush of relief resting on his shoulders as he watches you approach his restrained position.
he whispers your name, and your eyes glow impossibly brighter at his voice. you rest your hand on his cheek and xiao closes his eyes, your touch a deliverance from his endless torment within. soft lips press against his and xiao pulls away, tenderly surprised.
when he wakes, the fatigue he knows so well never comes. licking his lips, he tastes the sweetness that lingers there.
as he gazes out to the sights atop wangshu inn, he can’t help but smile, feeling his mind go tranquil for a very long time.

Imagine…
You and Xiao taking a walk in the park at night and then he buys you food from a street vendor — to which you share with him (much to his protest). But he can’t for the life of him resist you because you’re his biggest weakness. And seeing your smile as you happily inhale the food has his heart going all soft.
He can’t help but put an arm around you, as if protecting you while walking down the street — looking at every stall the two of you passed. And you’d feel safe in his arms too — knowing that if anything or anyone tried to harm you in any way, he’s right there to protect you. This is Xiao we’re talking about. One who will go through hell and go through it again if it meant you’ll be safe and sound.
生日快乐魈宝！Even though it’s late…
This is just what I sometimes imagine my life would be like if I had a boyfriend 🥲🥲🥲

𖧧 𓂃໑ IN MY DREAMS
featuring — xiao, y/n
summary — after seeing a certain yaksha in your dreams every other night, you finally gain the courage to confess on his birthday.
warnings — xiao x gn!reader, fluff, related / inspired by to xiao’s 2024 bday letter, possible ooc xiao (i do try my best and apologize if there are any inaccuracies), reader is from liyue, reader is afraid of their feelings for xiao and rejection, reader is friends with hu tao and zhongli is like a father figure to reader
messages of the galaxy — ahhhhh happy bday xiao ! he is the loml i lob him sm he’s my dearest. he’s been there for me through so many hardships and i owe so so much to him <3 kinda self indulged myself in this but not too much
ever since xiao saved you from a group of hilichurls once, you’ve been having dreams of him. it felt odd and you were uncomfortable because you were kissing him.
most nights the dream consisted of you and him standing on the balcony of wangshu inn, under a night full of bright, warm stars, and you kissing him tenderly. you always felt the love and affection and tenderness in the kiss.
and overtime, you found yourself falling for the aloof yaksha. terrified of your feelings and rejection, you buried them deep down, trying to eliminate the feelings altogether. but, you kept having the same dream. and you kept falling more and more in love.
when you heard from your friend hu tao that xiao’s birthday was coming up, your eyes widened as your cheeks burned, recalling the warmth of the kisses from him in your dreams.
“what’s wrong, y/n? you seem flustered,” hu tao asked in a concerned tone, tilting her head. “nothing, it’s just…i’m not sure how to wish him a happy birthday.” you shook your head. “i can think of a few ways.” she smirked, earning a confused expression from you. “huh?” you tried not to stammer.
you had never told hu tao about your crush on xiao, so you couldn’t think of what she meant. “well, i know he likes almond tofu. you could make him some!” she exclaimed, causing you to sigh in relief. so she doesn’t know, you thought.
“oh i see, thank you, hu tao!” you smiled at your friend. “of course! i know you’ll make it extra special for him.” she winked. “almond tofu? i’m sure xiao will enjoy that coming from you,” zhongli mentioned, approaching the two of you.
“thank you, mr. zhongli,” you replied, giving a single nod. he smiled warmly, almost assuring you. “i need to gather ingredients for it, thank you so much for your feedback!” you concluded, waving to your friend and father figure as you hurried off.
“you’re sure xiao would like it?” hu tao giggled, looking up at her consultant. “hm,” he hummed and went to enter the funeral parlor.
beginning your journey to make almond tofu for xiao, you first began with the general goods shop.
“hello, come and have a look!” the owner exclaimed. “hello,” you greeted, “i’m looking for milk, sugar, and tofu please.” “ah yes, planning on making almond tofu?” the owner asked, beginning to package the ingredients for you.
“yes i am,” you answered, nodding. “good luck in that!” he told you, handing you your items. you thanked him and gave him the according mora. “have a nice day!”
with that, you began your stroll back to your abode and went to make the almond tofu for xiao.
night soon arrived and you had spent all day gaining the courage to give xiao the almond tofu. exiting your room at wangshu inn, you kindly greeted verr goldet before heading up to the balcony.
“good luck, y/n,” she wished after you were out of earshot.
holding the almond tofu container in your hands, you looked up at the night sky. the stars perfectly resembled the ones from your dreams. you paid no mind to it, or at least tried to. you didn’t want to increase your nerves.
“xiao,” you called out his name. he immediately appeared, spear in hand. upon realizing he was on the balcony of wangshu inn, his spear disappeared and his body slightly eased. “it’s you,” he spoke, then looking down at the container.
“happy birthday, xiao,” you told him, holding out the almond tofu. “you…made this?” he asked, slowly taking it in his hands. “i did! i hope you like it,” you told him, trying not to let shyness get the best of you.
“thank you, i’ll enjoy it,” he said, immediately disappearing with a cloud of anemo in front of you. “xiao, wait—” sighing to yourself, you figured it was for the best to not confess to him, not wanting to ruin whatever you had.
“did you need something else?” he asked after appearing again. “yes, i…” you trailed off, playing with your fingers. he studied you attentively, waiting for your response.
“i’m not sure if you remember this, but once you saved me from a group of hilichurls, and i cannot thank you enough for that. but,” you paused, “ever since then, i’ve been having..dreams about you.”
“what kind of dreams?” he asked in a concerned tone. he feared this might’ve been a way his karmic debt had affected you. “dreams where we meet on the balcony like this and…you kiss me.”
“kiss you?” he repeated, a bit shocked. “i’m not sure why i have these dreams but, over time, i’ve…i’ve fallen in love with you.” your heart was beating rapidly and you felt your hands shake.
xiao lowered his head, trying to make sense of this information. so you had the same dreams as he did. he wasn’t alone in this. he took your hands in his, trying to ease the shakiness.
“y/n,” he began. you were shocked he still remembered your name, figuring you were just another mortal who foolishly stumbled into a hilichurl camp. “i’ve had the same dreams, and…i feel the same way.”
“what?” your voice shook. “you…you feel the same way?” “yes, i do,” he breathed. now it was your turn to try and process this information. tilting your head up from your chin, he leaned close and asked, “what was that kiss like?”
your eyes flickered down to his lips. they looked so soft and welcoming. “you really wanna know?” “yes, archons, yes,” he whispered, fluttering his eyes shut. he wanted, no needed, the real thing, not just from his dreams.
leaning closer, your lips attached to his, kissing him with all the love and tenderness you had. it took him a few seconds but he kissed back. you both weren’t the best at kissing, only having done it in your dreams, but you soon learned.
his hands cupped your face and you pressed your body against his. he was cold, but his face felt warm. arms wrapping around him, you pulled him impossibly closer. if this was the only kiss you would get with xiao, you wanted to make it worth it.
“i love you, y/n.”
“i love you too, xiao. more than anything.”

Ever since you met Xiao, there’s been one thing above all else that you’re been certain about: this man needs hugs. Lots of them, in fact. Probably more than you’d be able to give.
So, on the bright, sunny morning of April 17th, you set out to do just that.
Standing out on Wangshu Inn’s balcony, you call his name into the breeze. An instant later, a flash of green flaked with black, and a familiar figure appears by your side.
He opens his mouth to speak— probably to ask why you’ve called him here— but before he can utter a sound, you wrap your arms around in a warm, tight embrace. You feel him stiffen against you, his whole body tensing as he stands there, rendered motionless in shock.
Eventually, he pushes down his surprise enough relax a little, though a lingering rigidity to his muscles speaks of how unaccustomed he is to receiving such affection.
When he’s recovered enough of his mental footing, Xiao asks, not accusingly, “What is the meaning behind this?”
You shrug, arms still wrapped around his torso. “You deserve hugs for all the work you do to keep everyone safe, so I’m giving one to you.”
Though he frowns, he makes no effort to move away. “I do not do my duty in the hopes of any thanks or reward.”
“All the more reason you’ve earned this.” You pause. Squeeze him tighter. Voice lower, you continue, “I think you really, really need it, too, even if you won’t admit it. After everything you’ve been through, Celestia be damned if you don’t get any hugs.”
Xiao hesitates, but eventually seems to receive this well enough to awkwardly return your embrace. His hands, previously hovering uncertainly in midair, place themselves around your back. You pull him closer again, as if mere proximity could wipe away the aeons of his agony suffered alone.
It can’t, of course, but he appreciates the attempt nonetheless, despite confusion still muddling his senses at the suddenness of the situation he’s found himself in.
“I’m so sorry for everything you’ve been through, Xiao,” you whisper, like it was somehow your fault. “You didn’t deserve any of it.”
…And he’s perplexed again, stunned into silence by your claim.
Does he truly not deserve it? He’s taken so many innocent lives, bathed in the blood of countless people whose names and faces he can’t even remember, only bodies on a battlefield and stains on his spear; their dreams, loves, lives, everything they could have been stolen by him, their memories now washed into one shapeless, screaming mass that he can never wipe from his m—
“And I know you’re thinking something stupid about how you do deserve it, or how everything is your fault, but I need you to listen to me.” You raise your eyes to meet his. Your voice is firm, and invites no room for protest. “You don’t deserve it, and it is not your fault. What you do deserve is gratitude. Much, much more than you realise.
“So, on behalf of all the people of Liyue, and from the bottom of my heart,” you say, sincerity swimming in your eyes and in the grateful smile forming across your face;
“Thank you.”

Song: The Realm Within
You may have guessed it already, but it's the man, the myth, the legend: Xiao! The Golden Winged King, General Alatus-- he goes by a few names, but Xiao's the name he typically uses anyways.
To the very first five star, to the very first limited run character I got to C6... to the strongest character I have built who is a true hypercarry to my entire journey-- you'll always have a special spot in my book. Your story definitely got me back in the day, and the Chasm almost broke me with what happened. Your improvement every time you appear is amazing, and you'll forever be my ultimate favorite from Genshin Impact.
Happy birthday to the last Yaksha of Liyue, may today bring you peace and good food.
