Summary
The sunbathed pavilion offers the right setting for the three divine beings Cloud Retainer, Guizhong, and Morax. They are engrossed in discussing a new agricultural blueprint. That is, until Morax’s little servant, Yìchén, wanders in and entirely derails the divine assembly.
Armed with a new observation and a new mission in mind, young Yìchén is quite hands-on in their approach. While Guizhong is fully entertained and Cloud Retainer is completely appalled, Morax finds himself on a different kind of battlefield, one where military tactics are utterly useless against his opponent — his own personal agent of chaos.

Summary
Ever wondered about the things the game doesn't mention? Well, apparently my brain does!
Join our beloved Traveler and the best travel companion, Paimon — along with citizens of Mondstadt — as they explore everything from culture and economy to complex interpersonal relationships. This is a deep dive into the "Slice of Life" side of Teyvat.
It all starts with Aether returning to Mondstadt. Having recently been in Inazuma, he’s in search of a specific travel report, which he hopes to find in the Knights' library. There he meets Lisa’s assistant, Lucia, who must be certainly new. Why else would they never have met? But wait, why does she look rather awkward when he asks? Come and find out, and discover new aspects of Mondstadt.

Honeyed Words, Ludicrous Lies, and a Pitiful Amount of Dignity by SpicyAppleChai

Summary
Bǐngchéng Xuānshǐ — the Herald of Divine Will — a sharp-tongued mouthpiece of Rex Lapis, is in the way. They are accused of bribery, selling ritual offerings, and, even worse, defiling a maiden. Too bad that some things are just impossible. Also too bad for Morax for relying on his beloved headache, Yìchén, to put on a show and lure out the mudslingers.
It’s a comedic one-shot about a courtroom, a god with eroded nerves, and a PR disaster. A bit of crack, but taken very seriously, with lore and political consequences. Oh, and a god who is just done with everything.

Where Past and Present Are Trapped by SpicyAppleChai

Summary
Ancient ruins have been unearthed in Liyue by a sudden earthquake. While the Qixing are preparing a formal expedition, they've asked Lumine to scout the area first to ensure no dangers are lurking in the shadows. Accompanied by Paimon and Yìchén, an eccentric storyteller and the former Herald of Divine Will, Lumine welcomes the distraction from the mystery surrounding her brother.
What begins as a peaceful exploration quickly turns upside down. A ley line disturbance transforms the ruins into an ever-shifting labyrinth where time and space are warped and the present collides with the past. The group finds itself trapped in the echoes of the Archon War.

Yìchén — Genshin Original Character by SpicyAppleChai
Fandom 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
02 Jun 2026
Summary
A collection of my OC Yìchén, a loyal and devoted servant to Morax/Zhongli, a divine simp, an agent of chaos, and the last boss for Morax/Zhongli mastering his masterclass skill of his legendary patience.
It’s a mix of stories from the times, some more comical, others more serious. All with world-building, character studies, and a little adventure thrown in here and there. A collection of plot bunnies, essentially.

Summary
Xiangling.
She was barely tall enough to see over the table's edge. Rounder in the face and cherubic. Maybe eight or nine years old. More adorable, especially with the dash of oil and sauce streaking across her cheek.
The date on the menu suddenly made a different kind of sense as I internalized it through a real example. The math I had done was right.
I really was five years and some change too early.
And the proof was standing in front of me in an oversized apron, waiting for me to say something.
OR
What the hell am I supposed to do in Liyue five years before the Traveler even starts their journey?

Summary
We all know the story: After the Death of Rex Lapis, one of his greatest foes, Osial, Overlord of the Vortex, had reawakened. The Liyue Qixing, the Millelith, the Adepti, and the legendary Outlander banded together to defeat the ancient god in a pitched battle over the Sea of Clouds.
The fact that Liyue's relationship with Snezhnaya soured somewhat afterward may or may not have been coincidental.
But what if there was more to it?
The Fatui is a massive machine with the Harbingers at the controls, their respective underlings cogs and gears responsible for all sorts of tasks both glamorous and menial...mostly menial.
But what if one little gear in particular had the potential for change? Tiny, inconsequential change, the kind you'd barely notice, yet the kind that could ripple through the Bishui River and lead a tidal current into the Sea of Clouds...
After all, amateurs talk tactics, but professionals study logistics.

Summary
He was supposed to die. Cold rooftop. Rifle in hand. End of story.
Instead, he woke under a sky that wasn’t his. The desert burned. The sky was wrong. The time was wrong. And the world? It was one he should never have set foot in.
There is no mission here. No contract. Just a slow unraveling.
He survived the first death. What comes next will ask more of him than anything else ever did.
✧ ✦ ✧
This is an isekai AU where modern Albedo gets thrown into Teyvat's past, stumbles his way through an unfamiliar, yet familiar world, wrestles with identity crises and accidentally screws up history. Expect sarcasm, questionable decision-making as well as very questionable morality, and a lot of existential dread.

Summary
Her lungs burn as she blindly weaves between trees, bare feet pounding against the ground.
Was the shaking due to fear, or the cold?
Is the water in her eyes from the rain or her tears?Kit skids to a stop, toes digging into the dirt and grass. Blood rushes through her ears, crackling in her eardrums.
The hint of realization has her hair stand on end:She knows this place.
