Summary
“You’re not…” Childe’s head may have been angled like a baffled puppy, but he couldn’t help it, “Put off by all of that?”
As the disk of orange dipped below the Liyuan waters and the twilight sky remained illuminated by dusky remnants of what had been, Zhongli’s golden-edged features took on a radiance of their own. It wasn’t the lights playing tricks on him when Childe saw the man’s eyes gleam, and he craved to know what that meant.
“Perhaps I give you too much credit.” He was smiling, now, and Childe’s breath caught in his throat. That was certainly new. “Maybe you do not listen as much as I thought you do.”
Childe processes just how different Rex Lapis, God of Contracts, and Zhongli, Wangsheng Funeral Consultant, really are.
They coincide at the worst of times, and it does some truly awful things to his heart.

Summary
Tartaglia was 26 when he died. Ajax was 14 when he woke up again in the snow. Burdened by a past life no one else remembers, Ajax flees his homeland, taking shelter on the desolate mountain far to the east. He is alone—exactly as planned—until one day he stumbles across a hurting dragon.
( Zhongli/Ajax isn't a driving force of the story, but it's definitely there. Other characters—like pretty much everyone—will make appearances; I'm only tagging key figures to keep from tag-clutter. )

Summary
“What the fuck, Aether? What is this?”
When Lumine awakes, it is the year 500 AE, or Aetherean Era. The world of Teyvat has changed beyond all recognition; the entire realm is under the direct sovereignty of Chāoyuè Xīngchén, or Transcending Star. In passing, the common folk refer to him as His Transcendence, speaking in hushed tones that almost pass for reverence.
But Lumine knows better. It’s fear.
Aether narrowed his eyes, the lovely honey in them hardening to freezing gold. “This? This is my destiny, Lumine.”
When she finds out who the Chāoyuè Xīngchén truly is, her world is thrown into turmoil and confusion. Aether. Her beloved brother. Aether, who held her hand as they escaped the burning hellfire of their homeworld. Aether, who took care of things. Aether.
“I can’t allow this to continue, Your Transcendence,” Lumine spat out, wiping sweat from her forehead and raising her blade, the blade sparkling in the stark light, blood falling from the tip like tears.
“So be it, sister,” Aether said grimly, summoning his blade in a flash of smattering light.
Descensus averno- the descent to hell is easy. The crawl out, needless to say, is not.
