    Weighing Contracts by

    Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)  

    05 Jun 2021

    Summary

    The final contract of Liyue. That’s what Rex Lapis had called it.

    An agreement to test his people, to see how they would be able to stand on their own and to allow them to move on from the age of gods and monsters into the dawning age of man. Rex Lapis knew they would be challenged in ways they had never been before, but despite appearances, he would be there to catch them if they fell.

    However, there were things he hadn’t accounted for despite all his careful planning. He had known that the Tsaritsa’s Fatui were sent to cause chaos - that Childe was a Harbinger and therefore would be at the epicentre - but he hadn’t expected this.

    As his ancient foe rose from the depths of the Guyun Stone Forest, the Archon weighed the final contract of Liyue against the first and made his decision.

    Summary

    It hurt his head to think about what he was doing prior to… this, but he was fairly certain he’d gone to bed. Like any normal day. He’d returned from his routine shift at the Fatui headquarters and gone back to his studio apartment to sleep. The first thing his slightly dumbfound mind managed to conjure up was that he’d been isekai’d, but it was thought with a mental laugh and a ‘yeah, sure’ followed right after.
    Meaning the only feasible conclusion was that he was still asleep, and this was all a dream.

    A Meeting of Uncles and Aunties by

    Summary

    In which the Harbingers are all meddling uncles and aunties, and Tartaglia is the spoiled baby of the group (whether he likes to admit it or not). As uncles and aunties, how can they not intervene (read: swoop in like overprotective mama and papa bears) when they catch wind that not only is their youngest upset after his Liyue trip, but that the reason he's upset has to do with this mysterious "Mr. Zhongli" of Liyue?

    22 Jul 2025

    Summary

    To be entirely fair, Zhongli had planned to fake his death. He would drop a fake Exuvia just as the Qixing called for him during the Rite of Descension, and he would let everything unfold from there.
    That had been the plan. He might’ve started to regret the circumstances, but never the end result. Rex Lapis was meant to die.

    Zhongli wasn’t.

    So why did he?
    And if he did,

    Why was he awake now, somewhere he did not at all recognize?

    --------

    Or, Zhongli not-quite-transmigrates into a modern version of Teyvat and has to figure out why the Zhongli from that universe (whose body he took over) has died, along with other things threatening the nation. With the other Zhongli dead, he's the only Morax left, after all.
    And Morax is duty-bound to protect Liyue.

    Lover of the Emperor, Enemy of the State by

    Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)  

    27 Oct 2022

    Tags
    Summary

    Many have flocked to Liyue to try their hand at conquering Rex Lapis’ Path of Indomitable Jade, rumoured to be relentless in its challenge but bountiful in its reward. Unsurprisingly, Ajax’s one track mind honed in on the word challenge and ran all the way to Celestia with it.

    No one told him it was a bygone tradition that vied for the emperor’s hand in marriage, not until much later, when Liyue was already decked to the nines in preparation for the coronation of the emperor’s beloved consort– an Ajax-shaped consort.

    (In which a bored Childe thinks he’s scaling up mountains to fight adepti and gain bountiful gifts for his nation and all that jazz, but he actually ends up wooing one of them and fighting favour from the rest and-- uh, wait, what do you mean the eccentric rock enthusiast is the emperor--)

    Summary

    "Welcome to a new user experience! You have triggered this interface with the keywords, ‘Stupid game! Stupid devs! I want my f*****g money back!’ You are now bound to the character Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, codename: Childe! We hope you have an enjoyable user experience and we welcome you once again to Genshin Impact 2.0!”

    Those are some of the first words Ajax, starving college student extraordinaire, has the misfortune of hearing upon waking up in a brave new world from what he's fairly sure is a very fatal accident involving water and a shit ton of electricity.

    Okay, so he's not dead. That's good. But what's this about him being stuck playing the character Tartaglia? Tartaglia, as in the no-good, one-dimensional, cartoonish villain who met his untimely, gruesome death in the first act of the original game?

    Forget this. Like hell Ajax is going to share that fate.

    And so begins one man's journey to save himself from his awful destiny.

    Summary

    In another universe, The Crown Prince of Xian Le, Xie Lian, did not ascend as a martial god, but as a god of flowers, a minor god.

    A minor god who made a mistake, and was punished, sealed in his own little portion of heaven with barely any power, indebted to the Heavenly Officials for their mercy and kindness. He spends his days in isolation, occasionally visited by gods when they want him for their festivals. He cannot refuse.

    All days were nice. All days were the same.

    Until a new 'god' visited, one draped in red with a large, red butterfly perched on his shoulder.

    “Hello, Gege. You can call me San Lang.”

    Summary

    Castiel belongs to a brotherhood of monks that worships the Light, a powerful deity standing in opposition to the Darkness. All his life, Castiel has been taught that witches worship the Darkness and are therefore the brotherhood’s natural enemies. Never mind the fact that the only witch Castiel has ever met is Dean Winchester, who was kind to Castiel when he needed help and has been the subject of Castiel’s most carefully hidden dreams ever since.

    One day, a foundling child turns up on the brotherhood’s doorstep and is entrusted to Castiel’s care. When the child, Jack, begins to display signs of magical powers, Castiel knows what he must do: leave the brotherhood behind and trust that Dean will help him once more.

    Summary

    Once, not so long ago, there was a little house on a little hill in a little town nestled quietly in a not-so-little wilderness. The little house had stood there for quite some time, but the front had recently been renovated into a shop.

    Inside the house, past the shop, and in the rear kitchen sat a young boy poring over a large ledger that lay open on the big kitchen table. A luminous being hovered by his shoulder, looking on as the boy wrote down careful numbers in each of the columns.

    Or: that one where Shen Yuan gets transmigrated into the NPC Fairy Helper (and con artist), Shen Qingqiu, in an indie Item Shop sim and has to engineer a new ending that doesn’t end with him getting his wings ripped off. Meanwhile, young Luo Binghe -budding shopkeep, unwitting scam victim, and the titular character of ‘Luo Binghe’s Little Shoppe of Curiosities’- has a new best friend and he can’t WAIT to see what mysterious adventures await them!

    Summary

    In his first life, Shen Yuan was familiar with a wide range of unlikely transmigration scenarios. He was an avid reader and, coincidentally, grew up alongside the international spread of the Isekai genre. He, obviously, had not seriously considered a future where he, an unremarkable twenty-something, would ever have an unfortunate encounter with Truck-kun. Sitting in a box as a wooden figurine, after having accidentally choked to death alone in his hotel room, Shen Yuan had to admit that not all isekai protagonists followed the ‘Mushouku Tensei’ model.

    Or: that one where Shen Yuan transmigrates into the Nutcracker Prince.

    Summary

    Prince Sinon breaks the silence shortly after, his voice quieter as if to ease them both back into speaking. “You know,” he begins, and Marius glances at him. Prince Sinon’s gaze is still fixed on the magical fire. The warm glow casts dancing light and shadow across his profile. “That was nice. Your laugh, I mean - I think that was the first time I’ve heard it.”

    Of all the things Marius was anticipating, so sincere a compliment was not among them. He flounders for a response, and when he doesn’t find the words right away, Prince Sinon turns to face him - questioning expression breaking into a grin. “Your blush is nice, too, though this is far from the first time I’ve seen it.”

    Now that Prince Sinon has called attention to it, Marius feels the heat on his cheeks and is sure it’s deepened. Gods, this man.

    Summary

    "You do wrong your hand too much," Lon'qu spoke and lifted a scrap of wool, black, that could not hide the bloodied mistaken pinpricks. Proof, as much as anything, of a devoted heart.

    "Or, perhaps, my hand too much does wrong," Libra replied, staring into the depths of his cooling tea. "To offer a child comfort with the same hand that bore an axe in battle... perhaps it is fitting that I be terrible at sewing."

    Libra/Lon'qu. Spindles prick deep, and eternal slumbers are true-- but so too must stories be spun before they are told.

    Lon'qu turned around, and was met with Libra's hands around his throat.

    "If you were a woman, and mortal," he said, his voice soft, low. "You would be dead by now."

    "What will you do, now that you know I am not?" Libra whispered, and his hair swirled around his ears, it is just, it is just.

    Libra/Lon'qu, Greek Myth AU. For those whose causes are most just are oft the most punished, but too are they the ones best rewarded with loyalty. Alternatively: Aphrodite is a jealous bitch who lives for drama.
