    Funny and really well written. Also ridiculous

    Summary

    Xiao freezes. His gaze flickers towards the obstructed balcony. “You planned this," he accuses. There is still the window, he supposes, but he doubts the Anemo Archon simply forgot about its existence. It being left open is in equal measure a gesture of good faith and an unspoken challenge. He doesn't think he could live it down if the god of songs waxes poetry about his embarrassing escape.

    He sits down.

    Venti just laughs at his scowl and raises his hands in surrender, "you've caught me.” Then, his expression sobering, “I think it would be good for you to have someone to talk about your…past experiences with. Someone who understands the weight of what you were made to do."

    “You need to learn to stop making everyone else’s business your own," Xiao tells him flatly.

    Or, Xiao gets bullied into therapy, accidentally incites a riot, makes bird kebab, and gets harassed by extroverts that want many conversations. Precisely in that order.

    I would recommend reading this if you want to receive the "Jesus Christ that's gruesome" dose for the next year at the very least. And the tags only show part of the torture, really. It's so much worse

    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -

    Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.
