Aemiya

"Every moment of the summer festival is a moving tale. Those who meet under the light of fireworks grow up, mature, and grow old. When they set off the same fireworks as they did in the beginning, the skies reflect that same image from years ago... Fireworks are not eternal, but I believe that the wonderful emotions behind them should walk alongside Inazuma into eternity."

- Yoimiya Friendship Level 5

Aemiya is the het ship between Aether and Naganohara Yoimiya from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Archon Quest Chapter II: Act I
Aether and his companion Paimon were strolling around Inazuma when they noticed two Shogunate samurais interrogating a man by the name of Hanshirou about the possession of his vision. Obviously our main hero and his trusty sidekick was about to enact justice onto those samurais when they heard some whispers before they started jumping at them. It was none other than our main heroine, Naganohara Yoimiya and she beckons both of them to hide in the corner with her. Yoimiya is about to receive an ugly nickname from our chatterbox shrimp when she explains both of them to stay put and wait for the two samurais to leave.

Fanon
This ship has been slowly rising in popularity ever since the Archon Quest with Yoimiya and really took off during Yoimiya's second story quest. Although it isn't as popular as the other Aether x female ships such as the well known "Swordgirls" ships such as Aeyaka, Aeqing, Aelou or even the recent Aerina, this ship has been steadily receiving fanarts by a few dedicated artists to keep the fanbase alive. Nevertheless, there's not much fanfics on A03 which has only about 20+ works in total.

Most would associate these two as lively, energetic, ongoing and even "precious cinnamon buns" according to the other popular ships. Some might also oppose since most might prefer the Hair Contrast Duo or the 'grumpy x sunshine' trope. What makes this ship shines the best is both of them explores beyond these tropes in their own distinct ways. Aether who's often seen as bubbly or cute on the outside in fanon is actually reserved, cautious and serious in the inside. Yoimiya who's often the carefree and outgoing type is also someone who's very responsible, understanding and doesn't shy away when anyone needs her help. In short, both of these partners in crime would make up for each other’s weaknesses and support their strengths.

Trivia

 * Yoimiya is one of the few characters who actually cared to know about Aether finding his lost sibling and learning his origins.
 * Yoimiya once agreed to travel the whole world with Aether once he has completed his journey and finding his sister. Which is also one reason why we have met her in the Lantern Rite in Liyue, Sumeru and also in the Fontaine 4.3 event!
 * In one of her teapot dialogues, Yoimiya once tried to invite Aether to go into the mix bath hot springs with her.
 * In one of Aether's voicelines, he prefers warmer colours such as the Pyro Slime which indicates he's comfortable being around with people like Yoimiya.
 * Both Aether and Yoimiya shares the same talent materials which is called the Teachings of Transience. His electro burst is also a great combo for Yoimiya's Normal Attacks and it's a great addition for her Overloaded teams.
