Summary
Rex Lapis embodied his element.
He strode through battle with hardened nerves and executed his divine contracts with a fierce stoicism that betrayed no wavering convictions or flagging commitment.
Yet, disguised as the human Zhongli, he found his element to be his weakness.
For humans are not made of stone.
---------
In which a god unaccustomed to human emotions experiences what it’s like to suddenly feel them all.

Summary
“Pain is not something that can be understood. You simply feel it.”
“And what of sadness?” He had asked.
Guizhong smiled at him again, and said, “If a day comes where one could feel sadness without pain, it will be a day where celestia themselves would have calcified.
--
Zhongli has perfect memory. He remembers the first time boats were built, the first time the truly extensive planning of world economics took place. He remembers when flowers still bloomed near the sea, and when the waves would wash beautiful shells onto the shore.He remembers Guizhong’s smile, her laugh, the crinkle of her eyes as she teased him.
He remembers the first time he was introduced to Childe. Tartaglia. Ajax.
He remembers them all.
So why? Why does he not remember when he first started to feel this ache in his chest? Was it when he gave away his gnosis? It couldn’t be, because he remembers feeling it countless of sunrises ago. A time from before the New. This lack of memory invites a fear that Zhongli wishes he wasn’t familiar with.

Summary
The redhead shrugs before setting down his costume onto a nearby table.
“I don’t need your help with that.” Childe digs into his pocket and produces the small pot of red powder and a tiny brush. He holds it out to Xiao. “I need your help with this.”
Yellow eyes flick down to the items, and the yaksha’s face scrunches, perplexed.
“You need help with…makeup?”
Childe nods, smiling.
“Yes! There’s a costume party tonight, and I wanted to go as Zhongli-Xiansheng and you’re the only guy I know that also—“
“No.”
======
Hu Tao throws a “Hallow’s Eve” party inviting all attendees to dress up, let themselves go, and enjoy the midnight festivities. Childe plans to surprise Zhongli with his costume, and Zhongli…misinterprets the instructions.

"So let me get this straight." Aether deadpans, staring at the two of them in absolute resignation.
"Hurry up, Paimon wants food!"
"Paimon, pipe down." Aether says tiredly, before staring at the sheepishly smiling Zhongli and the very blithe Tartaglia. "So, let me get this straight," Aether repeats.
"You," he looks at Zhongli. "Decided it would be fun to make an idiot out of Childe by not telling him you were the very same opera dancer he was waxing poetry for."
"I simply thought it interesting-"
"And you," Aether says, voice growing increasingly annoyed as he stares at the grinning Tartaglia, ignoring Zhongli's petulant face of disappointment at being interrupted. "-asked me to accompany you to watch an opera dancer whose name you didn't even know."
"In my defense, comrade-" Tartaglia says smoothly, patting Zhongli's back. "-the opera dancer in question has a great ass."
Aether stares at Zhongli, who smiles up at him very hopefully, before staring up at the sky and resisting the urge to simply scream.

Summary
“So what you’re saying is—the worse of an actor I am, the more likely it is that we’ll never change back. So I shouldn’t do things like dive for fish in the Liyue ponds when all the Millelith are watching.”
Zhongli nods. “Yes, exactly. Please refrain from doing that.”
Three weeks after summoning Osial, and three weeks without contact from his old friend, Childe wakes up in Zhongli's body. It goes exactly as one might expect. (Which is to say: disastrously.)

Summary
“It’s a simple matter.” Tartaglia leans further into his chair. “An issue to be settled between us, no need to bring the law into this,” he says, ignoring the troop of Liyue’s biggest law firm seated beside him.
“Glad we’re on the same page, Master Tartaglia.” Yanfei maintains eye contact with his dead-cold gaze. “We can discuss what each of you wants out of the divorce to lay the groundwork and start from there.”
“Whoa, whoa, hold it,” Tartaglia says, scandalized. “Who said anything about divorce?”
Yanfei shares a look with her client who has been quietly sipping tea throughout the whole ordeal.
“I did. I hired Ms. Yanfei to represent me.”
Yanfei helps Zhongli who wants to divorce his husband for unknown reasons.

“Oh, darn, I knew I should have come here earlier.” Thoma muttered as he awkwardly shuffled inside. Diluc peeked his head out of the back room.
“Bar closes at 12, it’s still open.”
And promptly went back.
The blond carefully walked to a stool one away from Zhongli, concerned for the man.
“Mondstat hasn’t really changed it’s ways, huh,” Thoma mused.

Summary
Emma rates it ★★☆☆☆
Shelves: Goodread’s best read 2021, Non-Fiction, way to SHATTER MY SANITY, This Made Me Cry, Just Kill Me
SPOILERS AHEAD!
I’ve heard of raving reviews regarding this book, but I’ve never really come around to reading it until this afternoon. Needless to say, I am now crying my eyes out and writing this review with sixteen wet tissues stuck to my keyboard. You’re welcome.
Whoever told me this wasn’t a romance book was a goddamn liar. This entire thing is a love confession. The whole Liyue arc was a goddamn love confession. Holy shit. Was it really supposed to be a historical book? I kept trying to read and re-read it again, but nope, all I saw was two really gay, constipated people who just kept jumping around each other and - when they finally got the chance to confess!!!! - got screwed over by the universe.
In which Childe releases a memoir and what entails on it takes the internet by storm.

Summary
A God can die in many ways. Zhongli knows this very well. He has seen firsthand how so many of them perished. A betrayal of humans. A mistake at war. A choice beneath the mountain’s rubble, supple and alluring, and the slow closure of an Archon’s eyes as they choose to drift away forever.
Zhongli knows this, but he never thinks about it. Death is not a choice; his people need him. Even now, when he is not bound by the contracts, all he thinks of is, They need me, and that’s all he runs on. He thinks of Xiao. Of Lumine. Of all the strangers who know him as Mr. Zhongli and not Morax the Great. They are the blood in my veins.
He never thinks about how death can come in other ways. Like the creeping silence of his home. Like the quiet of his office. Like the loneliness that becomes a second limb.
He never thinks how numb is the equivalent of what grief is—the sheer ache so profound it becomes the absent part of him, and every time he tries to grapple for some sort of feeling in his chest, he feels nothing.
Or: Post-Osial, Childe goes back to Snezhnaya and Zhongli struggles with his own life trying to figure out what it means to live.
