Summary
You can crash my car tonight
Go on, wasting all my time and money
I love the way you’re breaking my heart…
Zhongli is a famous playwright who is asked to direct one of his Liyuen plays in Snezhnaya. Childe, resident Snezhnayan, is his chauffeur for eight weeks. They share a car, conversations, and eventually, something a little more.
Alternatively: Drive My Car (the film not the Murakami short story), but Zhongchi, and I condense everything so their little world only fits our two main characters inside. Title from COIN’s Crash My Car.

Summary
Emma rates it ★★☆☆☆
Shelves: Goodread’s best read 2021, Non-Fiction, way to SHATTER MY SANITY, This Made Me Cry, Just Kill Me
SPOILERS AHEAD!
I’ve heard of raving reviews regarding this book, but I’ve never really come around to reading it until this afternoon. Needless to say, I am now crying my eyes out and writing this review with sixteen wet tissues stuck to my keyboard. You’re welcome.
Whoever told me this wasn’t a romance book was a goddamn liar. This entire thing is a love confession. The whole Liyue arc was a goddamn love confession. Holy shit. Was it really supposed to be a historical book? I kept trying to read and re-read it again, but nope, all I saw was two really gay, constipated people who just kept jumping around each other and - when they finally got the chance to confess!!!! - got screwed over by the universe.
In which Childe releases a memoir and what entails on it takes the internet by storm.

Summary
Jingyuan thinks about Yingxing often, mostly in his own space. One day, however, he will instead think Huaiyan's granddaughter shares many similarities with his old friend. On another day, he will then think about both as Yanqing and Yunli duel sword-to-sword a few meters away from him.
Amidst that, Yunli tries to connect with a ghost in a talk with Jingyuan.

Summary
Yukong thinks of her brilliant daughter, trapped in a gilded cage by her own mother, rebuked and chastised for her talent when she should have been praised unto the heavens. She thinks of Yanqing’s prowess honed on the battlefield, every day a heart-stopping fight in the name of his General, and yet unable to call him with any degree of familiarity. “I suppose we cannot, General,” she says into the night, and watches her reflection in her cup ripple with the night wind.
Yukong and Jing Yuan form a strange and tenuous friendship as their children grow up. An exploration of regret, grief, and the turmoils of parenthood on a warship.

Summary
“This,” says Teng Xiao, attempting to rest a hand on the child's shoulder, who sidesteps the gesture with remarkable ease, “is Yanqing. He walked into the Seat of Divine Foresight an hour ago demanding to talk to the Arbiter-General.”
Jing Yuan waits for him to continue, and they stand in an awkward silence for a moment as he realises that is the end of the statement. “Was he unhappy with your service?” Jing Yuan inclines, holding his hands behind his back and fiddling with his fingers.
Teng Xiao brings up a hand to pinch the bridge of his nose in a bizarre gesture of discomfort, and sighs. “No. For some reason, he believes that you are the current Arbiter-General of the Luofu.”

Summary
“You are special, my child. You are loyal, and you will find as much love in the world as you give to me," the Tsaritsa had said all those years ago, voice soft and light as she had continued to stroke his hair gently. "Do not disappoint me."
Teyvat had once produced two renowned generals from different nations, who rose to prominence fighting side by side against the Abyssal Order. General Tartaglia of the Fatui Harbinger’s and his closest companion and comrade, General Rex Lapis of Liyue. Rex Lapis was beloved by his soldiers and his people for his long row of victories for his country, that is, until he shocked the alliance and his home by turning traitor to abandon his post.
Years later, although the war wages on, only one General fights along the Northern Frontier. When an amnesiac Rex Lapis is brought back to Liyue, both the public and General Tartaglia call for vengeance.
Is Zhongli’s return a signal to the end of the war? Or is there something more at play? Childe won’t stop until he’s found the truth, even if it ends up tearing him to pieces.

Summary
A long time ago, there was once an Outworlder newly arrived aboard the Luofu, and he met the great general Jing Yuan who was then just a young and very cheeky man, and also the Imbibitor Lunae when he was still greatly revered and respected and cherished, and they became friends.
*
A story from the good old days, when everyone was young and alive and at least five people on the Luofu were madly in love, but this story is actually only about three of them and how one learned to ask for things, another learned to follow through with good intentions, and the third learnt, however reluctantly, to share.

Summary
Rumour has it that he is an adeptus, but Jiwen disagrees- after all, no adeptus would return so often to browse their new stock of light novels (and buy most of it too). In a way, he’s become somewhat of a fixture at the Wanwen Bookhouse, returning every week at noon exactly, always in the same three-piece suit. In fact, Jiwen often laughs with her employees about the stately gentleman’s scandalous selection of light novels after he’s left.
This week, it seems, is exactly the same- his choice of reading is a love story between the Geo Lord of old, and a red-headed young Harbinger of Snezhnaya.
Where the Wanwen Bookhouse’s owner watches as a reincarnated Childe meets Zhongli in the bookhouse, and they fall in love all over again.

Summary
If someone had asked Ajax at the beginning of the year who Zhongli was, he wouldn't have been able to put a face to the name. However, as for the present goes, Ajax pictures golden eyes, brown hair that gets lighter on the tips, a low ponytail and a slim figure that carries itself with both self-reliance and a pair of pretty legs (and a nice ass but he shouldn't say that). The name doesn't bring only a physical appearance to his mind but also the sound of a deep voice with a serious but gentle tone, the now familiar smell of silken flowers’ perfume that makes Ajax’s head spin and the memory of a heart he knows it’s too kind for its own good.
He also thinks about a boy who cannot see what it’s clearly painted right in front of him, much to Ajax’s luck and desperation.
Alternatively; a silly tartali high school AU.

Summary
"The Tsarita has your loyalty through and through. If needed be, you would have sacrificed yourself for her before you even thought of us. Of me. I've seen many devoted subordinates like you, Ajax and I... and I unfortunately have seen their own end before my eyes."
He looks at the other now, all anger gone and replaced with accepted sadness. "I don't want you to divide your loyalty. Let her have it. You being here with me is enough, especially if you are safe. It's just - It's just that I don't want to lose you like I did them. I don't want to be alone again, Ajax, I do not. If I could, I'd dig deep into our Adeptal Arts to look for something that could tie our souls together that if you would die, I would, too." He takes a deep, shaky breath. "Solitude may have been a great friend of mine, doesn't mean I want to fall back to it after you. Ajax, please."
Childe averts his gaze. "Let's talk about this tomorrow."
His heart falls. "Ajax-"

Simple jealousy brewed into something more corrosive and at the courtesy of alcohol, Childe let it all out.

Summary
They’ve been together for a little over a year, and he hasn’t been able to say three simple words.
He doesn’t get it. He tells his family he loves them all the time, especially Tonia and Teucer and Anthon. With them, he means it. He says it to Ma and Pa because he has to, but he does love them, too, in a strange, complicated sort of way. Even his older siblings get those three words from him, despite the friction between them.
But Zhongli? The guy he’s devoted to? The guy he’s practically married to? Not a fucking word. Not even a hint of a word.
When Childe finds out about a tournament hosted for Lantern Rite, he decides it's the perfect means by which to confess his love to Zhongli.
