Summary
Two months after the Osial incident, Childe is back in Liyue Harbour, and diplomatic immunity is the only reason he isn't behind bars. Apparently, Keqing is the only one who sees this for the absolutely terrible idea it is, so she takes it into her own hands to... encourage Childe's good behaviour. By blackmailing him. With his feelings for Zhongli.
No, she's not proud of it either. The Yuheng isn't the only one adept at blackmail, though, and when Childe pressures her with photographs of the Rex Lapis shrine in her closet, the two find themselves in the pettiest of stalemates.

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.-----------
Or, Ajax wakes up somewhere that looks suspiciously similar to Liyue, from Genshin Impact, the videogame; and resolves to change history.

Summary
“You play a dangerous game, little fox,” Morax rumbles, all imperious words and frowning brows.
“Ah but gege,” Childe purrs, “those are my favorite sort.”
Geo energy roils. Morax’s eyes flare with heat—churning fractals of molten amber coiling around pupils suddenly slitted. Draconic. Morax very deliberately closes his eyes. When he opens them, they’ve reverted to human once more. Childe tamps down his grin. How easy to rile up this Morax was, how quick to anger!
“Impertinent,” Morax grits out.
There’s a certain set to his jaw, something a little mullish, that Childe’s never seen before on Zhongli’s face. This version of Zhongli, who wears his inhumanity freely—ethereal grace and divinity so bright it nearly burns to look at. How could have he ever resisted in the face of this?
Childe—fresh off Foul Legacy rearranging his organs one too many times too recently and
Zhongli’sMorax’sbetrayaldeception—finds himself millennia in the past.It goes spectacularly.

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
“That is a fox,” Barbatos points out rather uselessly the moment he steps foot inside Zhongli’s luxurious home. “You have a fox.”
Zhongli looks down at the adorable but wriggly (and hissy) mass of orange fur in his arms that he’s been trying to calm for the past hour. “Indeed. I have a fox.”
“Why do you have a fox?”
The fox tries to twist out of his grasp with an angry snap of its little jaw. Zhongli merely tightens his hold and ignores its very cute yips of protest. “I found him wandering the streets of Liyue Harbour, lost. I thought it prudent to bring him home in case he got hurt.”
--Zhongli, the old and jaded Geo Archon of Liyue, finds an unexpected companion in the form of a feisty fox spirit who so happens to be one of the Tsaritsa's youngest lieutenants in disguise.
