Aethyu is the het ship between Aether and Ganyu from the Genshin Impact fandom.
Canon[]
Chapter I, Act II[]
When they first meet after a meal with Zhongli, Ganyu mentions how she found Aether, who was on the run from the Millelith. He almost runs off with Paimon until Ganyu says that she is not with the Millelith. Ganyu goes on to tell Aether and Paimon that she is currently working under Ningguang as her special emissary. Ganyu tells Aether that she can't stay much longer. However, she quickly tells Aether that he and Paimon have been invited to the Jade Chamber.
Chapter I, Act III[]
They reunite in Dihua Marsh after defeating three Cryo Whopperflowers. Ganyu asks Aether and Zhongli if they were looking for Glaze Lilies, as Zhongli needed to use them for the Rite of Parting. After asking Aether about his visit to the Jade Chamber to meet Ningguang, Paimon mentions to Ganyu that it would have been much easier if Ganyu had shown them the way to the palace in the sky. Ganyu is slightly concerned as she begins to tell Paimon and Aether that she probably could have given them directions to the chamber. However, she couldn't because she is forgetful in her old age. Ganyu later explains about the Archon War and how she took part in it, signing a contract with Rex Lapis after the war. She also mentions that she's half mortal and half Qilin. The player playing Aether has the opportunity to ask Ganyu about her horns or forgetfulness of age, but Ganyu brushes it off and tells Aether that they should talk about it another time. Before leaving, Ganyu gives her glaze lilies to Aether and Zhongli.
After defeating Tartaglia, the ruin begins as the Fatui Harbinger awakens a god named Osial. Aether and Paimon rush to safety, reaching the Jade Chamber just in time. When the battle against Osial begins, Aether must protect the Guizhong Ballista from being destroyed by the Fatui. Ganyu helps Aether by providing her adept power, increasing Aether's chances of survival.
In the new Act IV, Ganyu appears and tells Aether about the Treasure Hoarders and how they wanted to steal treasure from the Abyss Order. Aether then takes on the quest, for which Ganyu thanks him.

Aether learns that Ganyu is absent from work and therefore he goes to Jueyun Karst to find out what happened. Upon arrival, he meets Ganyu, who believes that because of her qilin blood, she is not welcome in Liyue Harbor and has been replaced. Despite the fact that this is an obvious misunderstanding, Ganyu thinks that Aether is only comforting her, while she herself considers her place among the Adepti. Cloud Retainer arrives and decides to enliven the conversation with stories from Ganyu's childhood, which greatly embarrasses the girl. To avoid the stories of Cloud Retainer, Ganyu runs away to take the trial.
Cloud Retainer talks more about Ganyu and her inner conflict. Cloud Retainer also says that she is glad to see Aether, because she believes that being in Jueyun Karst is not good for Ganyu and asks Aether to keep her company. Aether goes to Ganyu, who believes that Ayether's strength is not inferior to her own, so she agrees that he can pass the trial with her. At the end of the trial, Ganyu says that Aether has many qualities of an Adepti.
The next trial is organized by Xiao. After passing the test, Xiao notices the pilgrim and tells Ganyu to deal with him. The pilgrim does not believe that Ganyu is an adept, which upsets the girl. However, Aether finally manages to convince Ganyu that no one is trying to replace her and all this is just a misunderstanding, after which Ganyu agrees to go to Liyue Harbor.
Arriving at the port, Aether and Ganyu, meet Uncle Tian, who is actually the Tianshu of the Liyue Qixing. He asks for help from his daughter, Huixin, who has been working under Ganyu for many years. It turns out that during the tax audit of two merchants, Huixin, found inconsistencies, but could not understand the details. Aether and Ganyu, after interrogating both merchants, helps her with this problem.
In gratitude for the help, Huixin invites Aether and Ganyu to lunch. During the conversation, Huixin expresses the hope that Ganyu will become a mentor for her growing daughter, as she once was a mentor for herself. Ganyu agrees, as she understands that she is important to people, after which she announces that she is returning to her work.
Ganyu expresses gratitude to Aether, because thanks to him she managed to solve her internal conflict. Ganyu also says that she is very happy that she has a friend outside of work. Ganyu also expresses a desire to travel together with Aether when she has free time.
