Summary
For all his life, Xiao has been cursed. The petals within his lungs trap him within a stasis unlike any other, betraying all that is known about the mysterious condition that ends the lives of all too many soulmates. In search of answers, he finds himself deep within a remote forest, far from home.
There, he meets a curious spirit, one he finds is fond of keeping secrets.

Summary
The chatter in the room immediately quieted as Yae Miko stopped just inside of the doorway. The small smile against her features was relatively impassive, though there was a flash of mischief in her eyes that Venti did not miss as she eyed the gathered students.
“So, is this our turnout for this year? Not bad, but I’ve seen better.”
“Thank goodness I’ve already filled one position for a stagehand, otherwise who knows if enough people would volunteer?” She stepped away from the door and gestured with her hand for whoever was behind her to enter.
A moment later, a scruffy-looking boy followed her into the room, hands buried in his black zip-up hoodie and looking very much like he wished he was anywhere else, judging by his refusal to look at anything but the floor.
“Everybody, this is Xiao. He will be joining us to help for the entire process of bringing this play to life.”
Venti felt a little bolt of panic in his chest.
Because that was the same Xiao who had just recently been caught fighting another student. The same Xiao who had a reputation for not giving a single shit about anyone or anything in school.
What was Yae Miko thinking? -

Summary
Equilibrium is something that Venti Carmen-Dei never really cared about pursuing.
Because, why would he? Venti is the finest aerospace cadet that the Celestial Academy has seen in over a century. He is son to the legendary intergalactic pilots Istaroth and Decarabian, as well as current successor to Celestia’s presidential throne. He is a Dei, a descendant of the inaugural starborns. He’s obviously destined for greatness.
The last thing he needs is to blindly rely on some other cadet to pull their own weight in battle while not getting the both of them killed. Venti can watch his own back just fine.
His main focus right now is to graduate at the top of his class and secure his name as the Academy’s most promising cadet in history. But, his plans may be threatened by the arrival of a new earthborn cadet - one who is quickly winning the favour of the Academy, much to Venti’s dismay.
No, he’ll exceed his family name. All he needs to do is stay one step ahead of this new cadet. And, surely he’ll be able to prove himself during their cohorts’ first official mission - one which both of them are being assigned to - right?

Summary
Xiao dies on the battlefield but as he's dying, Rex Lapis sends him somewhere to be at peace. But this is not peaceful, this is stressful.

But now he's stuck in a strange world, in a strange life that isn't his. He looks for familiarity and finds he's drawn to Barbatos repeatedly, but it's not Barbatos. It's Venti.

Summary
To Xiao, Barbatos was the embodiment of everything he was not: happy, free, fully confident in who he was. His music made the shadows in Xiao’s head retreat. They were all about living life to the fullest, having hope when the world was turned against you, and having fun (something that was almost entirely foreign to Xiao).
And now he was going to have to give away all his albums, delete Barbatos’ songs off his phone, and never listen to his music again. Just looking at the albums lined up on the shelf made Xiao cringe. He’d thought that if he ever did get a chance to meet his idol, it would be in a controlled space. He would have said something normal, like, Your music means a lot to me. Then he would’ve shaken Barbatos’ hand, gotten an autograph, and lived out the rest of his life in peace.
Xiao’s idol had watched him punch a guy in the stomach.
Since Zhongli's early retirement, Xiao's life has been aimless. But a chance encounter sets him on a new and uncharted path.
