Summary
Xiao didn’t make him angry… did he? Did he do something wrong? Snapped at the wrong time, brushed him off, something? Was all of this Xiao’s fault? Maybe—just maybe—if Xiao had been more accepting, more cordial, accepted the smiles more often, this wouldn’t have happened. If he had only given Aether a little more attention, if he’d accepted the Lanturn Right date outright like he wanted to… This was his fault, all his fault, and because of Xiao, Aether might be severely hurt. That was the only explanation. It was his fault it was his fault it was his fa—
“Xiao?”
He looked to Ganyu, who was carefully observing in the doorway. His breath was quick and heavy, his throat was dry, and his hands were shaking. Xiao was sure he looked like a caged animal with how he had snapped to attention. He needed to find them, and quick, but a self induced panic attack wasn’t going to get him anywhere.
“Where’s Paimon?” he snarled.
“With Lady Ningguang. I can take you to—”
In a burst of teal blue and black smoke, Xiao was gone from the middle of the room.

Summary
So, instead of posting a dozen or so one-chapter works, I decided to put all of my Maleval fics in one work. Each chapter can be read on its own, but they will all fit together and I'll post them in chronological order. Most of these are canon-compliant with some inner musings from both Maleficent and Diaval. Some I've embellished and added original content as well.
I gift this collection to my dear friend Cait, who listens to me gush over my Diaval obsession and encourages this WIP.

Summary
Hyacinth
/ high-ah-sinth/
NounThe hyacinth is a beautiful flower that symbolizes commitment, power, and pride. The purple hyacinth stands for sorrow and tragedy, or a simple act of asking for forgiveness.
In a little village far away from the empire’s capital, a beautiful and rare flower bloomed. That field of hyacinths was the people’s pride, and in that same village a little boy grew up. He spent his days just like any other boy should, his childhood innocence shielding him from the harsh world around him. One day, the usually bright blue twinkling sky darkened to a murky black, clouds of ash and shrieking cries swirling through the streets of the deserted village. Suddenly, everything had changed.
There’s nothing glamorous about this story, nothing ground breaking nor awe-inspiring like you might expect. At the simplest level, it’s just a story of three boys who turned into men. Men with stories of duty, vengeance, and desire. Men whose lives become so inconceivably intertwined with each other’s that the Empire would never be the same again, and neither would they.
Oh and there’s swords, castles, horses, and more ;)

Summary
When Bren murdered his parents, he broke.
When he found out that they were never traitors, something deep within him, something primal and arcane, snapped like an overstrung violin string, sharp, dissonant, and echoing throughout his body in strange vibrations.
One moment he was curled up on the cold tile floor of the Vergesson Sanatorium, the next Bren was in a strange field of what might have been wheat, flowing in the light breeze. After telling a strange purple satyr a fake name, he became Caleb Widogast and was thrust into a world heavy with magic, full of fae, and enough support to start to overcome his past.

Summary
That's my beloved fanfic I made about a year ago on Reddit. Unfortunately I left and the fanfic was never finished. I figured out the only way it could still be continued was with AO3 so here you go. Also, don't ask me about my orthograph, I'm French Canadian and I don't speak English well. I had a Reddit account that I deleted but the fanfic is still there, the 2 first chapters are revised copy and paste of the original fanfiction.
