Summary
Dvalin is not poisoned. The Anemo Archon fells Durin, and with his blessing, Mondstadt alone emerges from the cataclysm unbroken by the Abyss. But how? No scholar knows.
500 years later, Xiao travels to Mondstadt to warn Barbatos of an Abyss Order plot—but there are questions, too, twisting in his heart. Among them: Why did you save me, that night in Dihua Marsh? Why haven’t you visited since then?
And, because he knows all too well that power comes at a price: what did you pay to protect Mondstadt?
(The God of Freedom has so few choices.)

Summary
“You're not winning this,” Aether gasps out as they deflect one another once more, each struggling to gain ground on the other, blades locked.
“You're wrong,” Ajax hisses. To Aether’s horror, his spear separates as Ajax takes one end, leaving him with two weapons. Aether tries to step back, but Ajax kicks out his left knee, forcing him to maintain the parry.
Ajax drives the weapon forwards towards his gut, Aether narrowly managing to harness Anemo to block the blow, holding the pointed end of the blade inches away from his chest. Aether pants, chest heaving, heart pounding in his rib cage.
“Not bad, Aether. Your swordsmanship was quite impressive. But, that's about as far as you'll get.” With a final thrust of Ajax’s sword Aether thought it was over for him. The end. He had failed.
Aether squeezes his eyes shut. 'Forgive me Lumine…'
OR
Ajax never managed to escape the Abyss without the guidance of a now dead Skirk, and now, Ajax is the only one who knows where Aether’s sister is
OR
Aren't you tired of Aether being nice? Don't you just want to see him go ape shit?

Summary
Lumine wants to save this world, in her own twisted way. Aether? He’d burn it down without a care.
---
Aether's journey around Teyvat has come to an end, and he's tired. He's tired of being everyone's errand boy, of solving every problem the world presents him with without ever receiving anything in return. When he finally meets his sister again, he takes her hand.

if these wings could fly by MaximillianDelirium

Summary
To Xiao, Barbatos was the embodiment of everything he was not: happy, free, fully confident in who he was. His music made the shadows in Xiao’s head retreat. They were all about living life to the fullest, having hope when the world was turned against you, and having fun (something that was almost entirely foreign to Xiao).
And now he was going to have to give away all his albums, delete Barbatos’ songs off his phone, and never listen to his music again. Just looking at the albums lined up on the shelf made Xiao cringe. He’d thought that if he ever did get a chance to meet his idol, it would be in a controlled space. He would have said something normal, like, Your music means a lot to me. Then he would’ve shaken Barbatos’ hand, gotten an autograph, and lived out the rest of his life in peace.
Xiao’s idol had watched him punch a guy in the stomach.
Since Zhongli's early retirement, Xiao's life has been aimless. But a chance encounter sets him on a new and uncharted path.

Summary

When another classmate finds their messages and tries to blackmail Aether into his doing, things escalate quickly. Resulting in Aether contemplating his own morals of putting himself first.
Or in other words, a Love Simon AU

Summary
"As you know, your Yang energy is so powerful that it wards off any spirits nearby." Zhongli's eyes pierced through Chongyun. His gaze was startling. "But it seems it can also disrupt the path a spirit takes as it transitions from living to dead.”
Chongyun stilled. “You mean—”
“Xingqiu should have been killed when Osial’s power struck him,” Zhongli said.
Nausea climbed up Chongyun's throat. His vision tunneled. He tightened his grip on Xingqiu’s hand, suddenly afraid to let go. Zhongli's words rang through his mind.
Xingqiu should have been killed.

Summary
As a child, Ajax mother used to tell him that Gods were very selfish creatures. She said some were kind and gentle, but not theirs.
"Being on the plans of Gods as their pawns is still a great honor, my dear" She said.
But as Childe, in front of the man he came to befriend in his permanence in Liyue, the reveal of his true identity still burning on his chest, he doesn't believe in his mother's words.
After all, he came to be the pawn of nor one, but two diferent gods.
And Childe feels many things, but pride is not one of them.

Summary
“Have you heard that woman—a foreigner, they say! And such manners! She is perfect, even the well-known Funeral Consultant seems to be smitten with her!”
“My, how scandalous this news is! I aspire to get the front seat to their wedding!”
“Their children would be gorgeous, I’ll bet. I’ve never seen a more impeccable couple in my mortal existence!”
…
The chatter went on, not knowing the dangerous glint of blue eyes in the corner of the innocent Wanmin Restaurant.

in service of the sacred by cruellae (tinkabelladk)
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
14 Jun 2022
Tags
Summary
The Tsaritsa said something in response, indignant and annoyed, but Childe couldn’t make sense of the words. All he could hear was Tartaglia’s writ of service. He could sense Scaramouche and Signora peering at him from either side, a dull flush of humiliation on his cheeks. The writ of service was a sacred contract between himself and the Tsaritsa, promising her his loyalty for a lifetime.
Was such a thing really transferable? But it didn’t matter—surely she wouldn’t hand him over just like that. Would she?Bookmarked by cypher_dreamt

Statue, oh Statue, can you hear my Prayers? by Loading_pleasewaitforprocessing

Summary
It is said that the Archons can hear your prayers when you call to their statues, but what if you talk to them directly?
Childe is leaving Liyue, and finds a hidden Geo Archon statue. Having separated ties with Zhongli, he talks to this statue as if it were the ex-archon.
Little does he know that, that exact ex-archon was listening all along.
“Is it so wrong to still miss someone? Even if they used you and left you in the dark? Maybe it was…”

Summary
After the events following the release of Osial, Childe is undeniably betrayed and furious. Convinced that Zhongli played him to be a fool, he wants nothing more to do with the Lord of Geo.
However, ever since Childe started ignoring him, Zhongli's been conflicted with how he feels about the Harbinger. Now that he wishes to live like a human, he needs some help understanding mortal emotions.
And who better to ask than the man he happens to have a bunch of feelings for?
Childe, for his part, is less than pleased with the idea. After all, how stupid does one have to be to fall for a ploy twice? But if there's a way for him to make Zhongli feel the hurt that he did, then fine. He’ll try.

Summary
And it hurt. It really shouldn’t have hurt so much, Zhongli was only an acquaintance he had made in order to pursue his goal, but it did. His chest felt as if it had been ripped open and for once the Harbinger was glad that the conversation kept going without him needing to speak, because he wasn’t sure he could have.
