Bro, IM WRITING BOTH SMUT AND A REQUEST
Royal AU again and it's not canon and very long and makes almost no sense.
Aether was in the teapot tucking Aria and Apollo to sleep. The bright dark blue light emitted all around the room, with small star constellations floating around the room. He was humming a song so they could sleep throughout this whole night. They slept on the floor with blankets, so Aether did his best and made the room feel like home to them. When they finally fell asleep, Aether sighed and stood up. A guy pointed a sword at him as soon as he walked out the room. He sighed.
"Thank you for waiting. Do what you must, but not here."-Aether

"I brought him along. He came rather easily."-???
Aether had his head down while wincing in pain. That guy gave him a beating, and it hurt a ton. He still could feel his head bleeding. He was coughing out a bit of blood.
Xiao was here? And Zhongli? Lumine? Why were they all here? What did they do?
"Let's start this. I don't want to deal with the likes of you."-???
Didn't he fix this a long time ago?
Why is this still happening? Why are the Fatui here?
"We need this wonderful raven to 'teach' us some Adepti arts. Can you do that?"-Dottore
Aether didn't even have to think and answered for him."NO!"
Dottore ignored the blond."You have two choices. Agree, or see your loved ones die in front of you."
Two Fatui pointed a blade at Aether and Zhongli. Scaramouche pointed a gun at Lumine. Aether held back tears. It was already bad enough that someone was waiting for him in the tea pot. Wait, the teapot!
Aether kicked the guy holding him and ran with his hands still tied. He had a bit of a headache, but it's clear in his mind.
"IM SORRY XIAO!"-Aether
Xiao chuckled. He knew what his lover was doing.

"Aria? Aria! Hey, I'm sorry to wake you but we need to go. Now!"-Aether
"Why?" Aria rubbed her eyes and sat up.
"Because there's someone here and it's not Papa."-Aether
Aria processed it a bit. Then she grabbed her brother in a blanket and held her mother's hand. They ran upstairs to hide before someone bursted through the door. He could see Tubby on the floor. Aether wanted to cry. But then Apollo would cry.
Aether took the chance and ran out the door with Aria in hand. Apollo was still in her other arm, wrapped in a blanket.
They hid in a nearby house on another island. Aria took the time to go back to sleep. Aether put his plan in motion. He placed radios everywhere to project his voice to make it seem there was multiple of him everywhere. And one Walkie-Talkie controlled all of them. His goal was false hope.
Apollo was starting to wake up, so Aether sang him a song for him to sleep. He caressed his cheek so Apollo knew he was here keeping him safe.
If you're wondering, he hummed and sang Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
"I love you two. Your little chubby faces are something I'll miss the most."-Aether
The blond laughed at his own statement. He knew they all were on borrowed time. He heard a bang through the Walkie-Talkie. His plan had worked, but he destroyed the radio. That sucked.
