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.- Language:

Summary
The kid was going to die at this rate, whether or not Jason had anything to do with it. Apparently dead Robins were just a thing, now, and Bruce didn’t give a shit whether they lived or died.
There was something almost comforting about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.
There was something fucking infuriating about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.
Well. If those fucks didn’t care about their baby bird now, Jason would just have to make them care. And he had a few ideas on just how to do that.
Robin might get a little broken in the process, but what was a little kidnapping and torture between friends?
***
a.k.a. the Titans Tower AU where Jason kidnaps Tim instead of trying to kill him. And then he kidnaps Steph. And Dick. And Cass. And...
Jason may have a problem.
Less crack-y than it sounds. This is mainly hurt, angst, and reckoning with canon trauma. Comfort will come! There *will* be a happy ending.

Summary
Tim Drake lives a perfectly good life. During the day, he's a freshman at Gotham Academy. At night, he surveils criminal activity and sends detailed analyses to Commissioner Gordon. If he's lucky, he might even get a photo of a Bat or two. He even writes increasingly popular LinkedIn articles about vigilantes and the criminal justice system under the pseudonym Jeffrey Anderson.
Gotham is the one that needs help, not Tim.
Bruce Wayne has a thing or two to say about that.

Summary
Madge thinks that she is doomed to follow in her aunt Maysilee's footsteps. She does everything in her power to prepare herself to avoid suffering the same fate, including enlisting her best friend Katniss in helping her train.
So when her name is called during the Seventy-Fourth Reaping Ceremony, Madge is as ready as she can be. She takes the route to the stage that avoids her father, she steels her features just as practiced, she drowns out Effie Trinket’s exclamation of her fellow tribute’s name. Madge is prepared, and being prepared means being as detached as possible.
What Madge hadn’t prepared for was the low voice of the boy who hates her most to ring out through the square, desperate to volunteer in his younger brother’s stead. Because of fucking course Madge has to go into the arena alongside Gale Hawthorne.
She really should have seen this coming.

Summary
The light still doesn't make sense against his eyes, but he thinks he remembers something like color. There is a lot of color around him, and he is able to discern white and black and a great deal of something else. It's a breathtaking splash of vivacity on a new canvas, where there had been no canvas at all for so many eternities. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.
Red, Xie Lian finally names it.
-
In a disorienting turn of luck, Xie Lian is rescued from State Preceptor Fangxin's coffin. He recovers his other senses in good time, but his sight is taking longer to return—decades with no exposure to light have weakened his capacity for it.
His benefactor and worshiper, a wealthy and eccentric ghost named Hua Cheng, hasn't left his side for months.

Summary
Ascensions are occasions to celebrate, unique moments of joy and excitement for old and incredibly bored Heaven Officials. Usually. However, when Prince Hua Cheng inexplicably crashes back in heaven for the third time, there is a lot of excitement indeed, but very little joy.
“I’m back, bitches,” Hua Cheng grins dangerously as he steps out of the palace he just wrecked during his spectacular ascension. “Missed me?”
Or: Role Reversal!AU, in which Hua Cheng is the twice forsaken God of Revenge and Misfortune and former prince of a country he destroyed himself 800 years ago. He genuinely has no clue why the infamous demon king White Sword Whispering Death would be interested in a humble wandering priest like himself and would like to be left alone to carve his Xie Lian statues in peace, thank you very much.

Summary
Tomys didn’t know why he’d been brought here.
Niki had known about the competition she’d been cast in since she was old enough to speak. Quackity had known from the moment he set foot in the palace. But here Tomys was, talking to the son of the Consil without a single clue as to why.
Wilbur stared at Tomys for a moment in shocked silence. Tomys blinked, blind to the target that had been placed on his back the moment he walked through the throne room doors.
He almost felt bad for the kid.
Almost.
Nobody expects the appearance of young Tomys Ione in the political war for the crown, much less Tomys himself. Now thrust into politics, assassinations, trust, and betrayal, the fate of the kingdom lies in the choice of who will win the throne: Niki, Quackity, or Tommy.
And that choice? It lies in the hands of the young future Consil, Wilbur. Guided by his father, current Consil Phil, Wilbur must choose between loyalty, love, and power.

“Gege? What’s going on?”
Xie Lian has gone bright red, his eyes flickering back and forth between He Xuan, who he’s still laying on, and Hua Cheng, who might have gone into actual shock.
“San Lang! We’re, we...uh, this is—”
He Xuan takes a deep breath, sends a prayer to the dead hermit crab he had when he was twelve, and says, “Xie Lian and I are dating.”
He Xuan gets dragged into a love triangle he never wanted to be part of.

I Reincarnated as a Fungus When I Only Wanted to Be an Architect by Bgtea
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
If there’s one word Kaveh could use to describe his life, it would be “ordinary”. Sure, the start of his life looks more like a sad drama movie with the death of his father, being abandoned by his mother, then being treated like luggage as he was passed from one relative to another. But he grew up, got a job working as a corporate slave, and became self-sufficient enough to pay his rent while not starving. Currently, his job is tedious, and the only joy in his life comes from spending his evenings at home alone, designing and building little houses in the game "My Little Aranara Friend", but things could be worse!
It becomes worse in the blink of an eye. He dies. And not only is he forcefully transported into the world of "My Little Aranara Friend", but he's also stuck in the body of a mob monster called a Fungus where his only hope of getting a human body is by levelling up.
...And also by saving the Aranara from mass extinction caused by some malevolent mysterious dark power called "The Withering" that, if left unchecked, will also destroy the world.
Fuck his life.

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.

Accidentally being teleported back in time Childe comes face to face with a young Zhongli- known as Morax.
Or
“You both crave and love destruction and care for living beings.” Morax tuts softly, his hand is still on Childe’s cheek. “How miserable you must be.” There’s almost a sick delight in those words.As if he is pleased that there is someone more messed up in this world than he, an honest to gods war archon.
“I get by.” Childe quips lightly and Morax tilts his head, delighted. “In this future.” He hums, voice low like it emits from the earth itself, a rumble like a purring cat. “Do I…” he leans forward, tilting Childe’s face up, hand moving ever so slightly closer to his mouth. “Do I kiss you upon these bloodied lips?”
