Summary
When a citizen of Mondstadt is found to be involved in a series of brutal kidnappings across Fontaine, the Knights of Favonius are given an ultimatum from none other than the Hydro Archon herself: either clean up their mess and catch the guilty culprit, or have their Grand Master— Acting or non— face trial. The accusation? Concealing person from arrest. The penalty? Life sentence.
The main issue, Jean thinks as her stomach sinks at the contents of Focalors’ missive, is that the suspected criminal has ties with the Order. Which means that some of her men could be accomplices. That they can’t be trusted to be sent to Fontaine.
And that leaves Jean with only one person to plead for help.
Or; upon Jean’s request, Diluc travels to Fontaine to help take care of a case which so happens to be under the investigation of someone who goes by the name of the Duke of the Fortress of Meropide.

Summary
For Freminet, taking the brunt of what he thought was an acid attack aimed towards Spina di Rosula's boss was nothing more than a split second decision. He wouldn't call himself a hero by any stretch of the imagination-he's skittish and meek and tragically pathetic on almost every level-and he wouldn't say he led his life with noble and virtuous intentions either.
-But when the urge to help someone comes to him, he ponders little over it. That's just what a good person would do, and Freminet desperately wants that: to be a good person.
(Still, maybe he should have paid more attention to just what was being splashed.)
OR
Freminet dissolves into water. That really should have been the end of it, but it seems like the ocean wasn't keen on letting him go just yet.

The Past, the Present, and All the Memories in Between by fi_niamh

Summary
“So it’s time travel?”
“No, not quite,” Albedo gently chews on his lower lip in contemplation on how to simplify the concept. “The Ley Lines hold memories of everything that has ever happened in the world. It appears that this Ley Line disorder has converged the past memories with our current memories.”
Kaeya cocks his head to the side, “So we’re currently in the past?”
“I suppose you could put it like that, but it’s more like our past and our present have collided.”
“So, time travel?”
Albedo sighs, “Sure, let’s call it that.”
A growing string of disappearing people, a catastrophic Ley Line disorder, a chaotic space and a convoluted Fatui plot throws much of Mondstadt into a not-so-distant past, surrounded by uncomfortably familiar faces.
Unfortunately for Kaeya, this means forgoing a much-needed vacation to try and figure out what exactly is going on. That, and grappling with the presence of a boy who looks and sounds like Diluc, but is someone far different than the man that Diluc has become.
Gods, he could really go for a drink right about now.

Don't Go Where I Can't Follow, Yeah? by Hex_Leaflet

Summary
It's only a whim. A passive thought, really. When tragedy has a habit of striking on his birthday, sometimes he can't help but wonder what the world would be like if he was never born.
It's all useless conjecture and a waste of time. He'll forget about it once the next dawn arrives, but perhaps it won't hurt to stew in such dark dreams for just one sleepless night.
Except the dream comes true.
And he can't wake up.
…
In which Diluc finds himself in a world where he never existed, and it's hard not to be convinced that the world's better off without him.

Summary
Yanfei, the brilliant lawyer from distant Liyue, finds herself in Mondstadt through the course of her official duties, staying temporarily at the estate of the wealthy, reclusive, and dour nobleman Diluc Ragnvindr. Through the course of her quest to serve justice, she uncovers a conspiracy aimed at her host. Will her intellect be enough to save him, or will the standoffish Master Diluc be served with a cruel taste of reality?
This is a nerdy legal drama with a fun, cute, yet extremely rare pairing at the core. Hope you enjoy! (And yes, lots of liberties were taken, I can't afford law school.)
