A Kiss From Chocolate-Stained Lips by HeirOfSerenity
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
14 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
The notion of a human sending sweets to their loved ones on a specific day every year piqued Venti’s interest. “What type of confections are we talking about?”
“Mainly chocolates, though some are known to give cakes and other desserts as well.” Egeria pointed to a nearby display containing various fruits covered in chocolate. “A few years ago I decided to experiment with some fruit and, well, as humans tend to do, they decided to emulate me.”
Venti looked at the chocolate covered fruit, spotting an apple covered in chocolate. He could probably just buy it, but….
“Would you teach me?” He asked, his breath fogging up the mirror of the display.
“Very well, but know that I am a strict culinary chef. Should you listen to my words exactly, you shall create something truly exquisite.” She nodded to herself, standing up a little straighter. “Come along, Barbatos, there’s much work to be done.”

Summary
It has been exactly 147 days since his beloved bard was erased from time.
No one remembers—not his closest friends, not even Time herself.
Only Venti remembers. His name locked within his mind, never to be uttered again, lest he incur the wrath of Decarabian’s cataclysmic death that his bard had spread across the entirety of Time.

Summary
After emerging from the rebellion against the Storm God, he is all but keenly aware of how situations can unfold into the most unexpected of paths. For you may start the day with a skip to your steps, only for the very world itself to shift underneath you. Unsteady, wobbling, perhaps even a bubble of bafflement popping in front of you.
Holding the cloak of Venti’s in his hands, the brilliant white cloth gleaming as the moonlight shines over it in dancing rays, while the tatters of his own cloak lay over the surface of his bed, he thinks—ah, this could certainly be a tale of such matters.
—
or: for day 5 of bardven week, dress up, the bard loses his cloak and gains a new one all together

For You, My Love, I Shall Fall by HeirOfSerenity
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
11 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
The rebellion had reached the tower when it suddenly began to sink into the earth and erupted into strange fire. The people fell back, scrambling away in panic as the winds began to pick up and a storm formed.
“Oh no,” Barbatos whispered. “We’re too late.”
Dorian turned to him in horror. “W-what’s happening?”
“He gave into the Abyss. There’s…some sort of rift that’s—” Barbatos flinched, doubling over in pain as he felt the warning from Celestia echo in his bones.

The Shackles of Celestia Could Not Keep Me From You by HeirOfSerenity

Tags
Summary
“Dorian,” Venti said, and he sounded just like his tiny form, but without the undercurrent of bell-like sounds. “I’m home. I’m sorry I took so long.”
Dorian pushed himself off the chair with a feral desperation, uncaring at the pain that shot up his arm. He put every ounce of strength into closing the gap between them, tears rolling down his cheeks as he threw his right arm around the archon.
“Venti,” Dorian whispered against the other’s cheek brokenly, his hand threading into the Anemo Archon’s hair to make sure it wasn’t another pain-induced hallucination that had plagued him the first few days after Decarabian's fall. “You're back.”

Can I still kiss you even in different universes? (an anthology) by cinnamonroll_himee

Summary
What should be the answer to a question like that? Of course she could kiss him. She could kiss him all she wants. She could kiss him till his lips turn blue— not that it wasn't already blue. She could kiss him and took his breathe away if she wanted even. He wasn't breathing nor do he have any traces of life clinging inside of him anymore. It brought him guilt because there was nothing he could offer to her in return.
But Yashiro chose to kiss him, still.
In every universe, they'd share a kiss.**
An anthology of Hanako and Nene kissing... for my happiness. Written to celebrate the 4th Hananene Kiss Anniversary!Bookmarked by Starry_Writing

Summary
“Mmm, but you deserve it all.” Venti kissed his neck, wrapping his arms around his waist. “But I understand. I didn’t want to be an archon, either.”
“And yet, I can’t think of anyone more perfect for the role.”
Venti sputtered, his face turning a pretty shade of Anemo-teal. “Y-you can’t just say that!”
“It’s true, though.” Dorian scooted closer, and Venti’s wing wrapped around him. “It wouldn’t be home without you and everything you’ve done to make it so.”
The archon groaned. “See, you just say things like that and my heart melts. How do you do it?”
Dorian chuckled, threading his hand with Venti’s once more and watching the sun set along the horizon of the ocean. “You just have to find the right source of inspiration.” He poked Venti on the nose playfully. “Like a little wisp of wind.”

For You, the One Lost To Time by HeirOfSerenity
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
Venti cradled Dorian’s unmoving body against his own form—one assumed out of purest love and dedication to his beloved bard for achieving what even the former wisp assumed to be impossible. There was no breath from Dorian’s lips, no movement of the bard’s chest.
He was frozen in a moment of time, only further proven by the shifting golden outline around his body. And yet, Venti could still sense his presence buried beneath unfathomable levels of unconsciousness.
Dorian was still alive.
But only just.

Summary
One day, there was a storm—ravaging and relentless, it tore apart everything in its path. The sun, the skies, the voices of the people, and the gentleness of the winds.
One day, there was a bard, surrounded by the hands of the people—dripping exhaustion, and yet, continued to stand tall. He faced the storm with a burning gaze, the song of thousands upon those lips.
One day, the storms dispersed.
One day, the bard vanished.
And the world welcomed in the warm, tender breezes of a wisp carrying the remains of his heart.

Summary
“I must strive to give an edge of a challenge, no?” He replies, puffing out his chest. “Learning your opponent is the most crucial part of the process. Give it another day, and I believe we shall get closer to that theory of his.”
Venti giggles. “You should not let Lady Amos hear that.”
These words seem to have all of the memories of her training in the arts of archery rushing back to Cecil, from the way he stiffens, and laughs quietly to himself. “Oh, by the winds, if she were not busy, she would have made a fool of this man within the very first minute. What a tempting suggestion, though, hm?”

Hope in the Palm of Your Hand by HeirOfSerenity

Summary
He was untethered, unbound. No wishes or ideals held in his tiny soul to anchor him to one place.
Until one day he drifted too close to the Storm God’s domain and found himself tangled in Decarabian’s wind wall. The wisp was thrown about indiscriminately until he ended up somewhere he had never been before.
This place…was on the verge of death.
Barbatos was about to throw himself into the wind barrier once more when he heard a quiet prayer.
Please…give me a reason to keep going.

Summary
To think that the most resilient flower—h̴i̵s̵ namesake—would wilt away under the peaceful, clear blue sky…
"I didn't want this." They bristled, eyes burning but dry. "I didn't want the titles, the recognition, any of it."
It should have been you.
The wind picked up, the few remaining flowers dancing in eulogy. They swallowed. "But I'll do this. For you—I'd gladly do anything. Become a gardener if I must, shape this fragile life to my whims just as I moulded my image after yours."♱
Two souls, intertwined, dancing through the ages while teetering on the edge of broken promises, and threatening the wrath of the divine.
[Or, in which Venti already let go of his friend’s soul once, and isn’t going to make the same mistake again]

How Dahlia became The Herald of Barbatos.
____________________________________
"You look like a man who needs one of two things to cheer up:" Venti lifted one finger up, "a miracle from Barbatos himself…” He lifted another finger, "…or someone to drag him out of his misery with questionable decisions. Lucky for you, I specialize in both." He winked, then leaned forward. “Now, my deacon—”“I’m not a deacon yet.” Dahlia corrected automatically.
“—my future deacon,” Venti amended without shame, “which would you prefer?”
OR
Shortly after the Traveler left Mondstadt and the city regained its peace, Dahlia was announced as a candidate, a soon-to-be-ordained Deacon of the Church of Favonius. Which was great, awesome, perfect, had it not been for a teeny, tiny detail: his faith, or rather the lack of it.And then the wind gets a whiff of his secret.

Summary
After a tip-off from her grandfather that one of her close high school friends had started a local radio show, Nene tried to see if she could tune in—purely out of curiosity, of course. It had been three years since she’d been back in town, it'd be nice to hear how her old friend was doing!
But as the night wore on, Nene found herself calling into the station, half-flirting with the charming host live on air. Swept up in Tsukasa’s familiar chaotic energy, she found herself falling right back into her old teenage fluster.
Turns out, she’d missed this energizer-bunny of a man more than she realized.

Summary
“I’m afraid too,” the bard adds, bashfully, slowing down as they steadily reach their destination. “This.” He rubs his chest, over his heart. “I don’t always understand this.”
“No?”
“No. It’s overwhelming. I’m confused. I don’t know what to make of it.”
A small frown pulls down Venti’s lips. Before he could comment, however, the bard beat him to it: “But I love it. So, so much.”
For the hundredth time today, Mondstadt's new god holds his friend's hand and reflects.
