Summary
Wanderer's skin glows for his age.
For a puppet that outlived its shelf-date, he’s kept well. Preserved in a time where divinity has long gone; dermatologists and cosmetic clinics wish he were their poster model.
He’s watched Teyvat modernize time and time again, his doctorates and degrees void of any meaning when he graduates for the 76th time out of boredom. He's used to human society by now, their lengthy and ridiculous rules. Mastering their absurd systems of rent, bank loans, the stigma of unemployment—living.
Everything is fine, even when grocery prices hike up way past his budget, when Nahida insists he stops walking across a stage, and when he finds out he’s died again in the local newspaper.
And, oh, that Xiao is still alive.

Summary
“I’m retired,” the man explained, which didn’t tell Ororon much at all. He looked forty or forty-five at the oldest.
“Retired from what?”
“You ask a lot of questions.”
“Well, you keep answering them.” Ororon ran his finger along the rim of his now-empty glass, feeling warm and loose and a little scared by the man to his right. “I’m not retired. I do whatever. I keep bees, and I sell my vegetables, and I deliver newspapers, and I walk dogs…” He trailed off. What did Ororon do? Nothing? Was he made of odd jobs paid in cash?- Language:

Summary
“Why did you even ask me to come with you?” Ajaw asked one afternoon, after three hours of driving in silence.
“You seemed lost,” Kinich answered, simply, plainly, as if talking about the weather. “I felt that going outside your comfort zone would bring you answers, maybe even tame your pride.”
-
Ajaw, Kinich, and their life on the road together.

Summary
Money has coexisted with time since the very beginning. Trade is intertwined with human nature.
Even the first settlers in this world exchanged goods for wealth.
Everything has a price in Teyvat. From the Windsong Lyres of Mondstadt to the wisdom of Sumeru.
Mora hails from the land of the God of Contracts.
Money means nothing to the gods, and yet it means everything to him.
And in this world where a golden heart pumps money through its arteries, betraying Her Majesty is a crime punishable by death.
Admittedly, he hadn't planned on solving this along with the Doctor. Maybe he won't come to dread this as much as he had expected.
Or: The Regrator has a terrible fear of being vulnerable, Il Dottore hates himself, and Pantalone is rapidly relapsing back into his smoking addiction in an effort to run from his problems.

Summary
here’s the thing: he is given the name alatus by his god four years into his slavery, and it becomes synonymous with his power, but only from her.
he starts as slave and then weapon, muttered by dissenters and spat by his god at her most wrathful. somewhere along the way, he gains bloodhound and dreamwalker, spoken in terror by enemies and said in that terrible mix of reverence-fear by those who worship her.
one terrible war later and the establishment of her capital and he becomes general, and it is general that stays.
(or, alatus, and what it is to be at the right hand of a retribution-god.)
