Summary
“Barbatos, at your service!” Barbatos grins, dropping from the railing and reaching a hand out for Xiao to shake, “Anemo archon, god of freedom - that’s what old geezers like Morax like to call me. You, though? Call me whatever you’d like,”
“Lord Barbatos,” Xiao begins, but Barbatos is holding up his other hand to silence him before he can go any further.
“So formal,” he makes a gagging gesture, earning an unamused look from Morax and a far more perplexed one from Xiao, “Let me reiterate; call me whatever you’d like, just as long as it’s not something Morax would,”
Or, the one where Xiao finds peace, Venti finds himself, and the both of them have two thousand years to figure the rest out (though, Celestia certainly does not make it easy)

Summary
When she looks up, there’s a man in front of the receptionist desk.
“Welcome to Wangshu Inn,” she says, eyes wide. She didn’t hear him come in. He smiles impishly, almost childlike. “Are you—“ Verr Goldet gathers her scattered papers. “Are you looking to spend the night?”
A pretty white flower peeks from his cap. It’s a Cecilia, the ones that grow on Starsnatch Cliff.
“So this is where he's staying in between his fighting and slaying,” the man remarks in a singsong voice. It's vaguely irritating. “How quaint!”
Verr Goldet smooths down her wind blown hair and clears her throat pointedly. “How may I help you?”
His smile widens. “I’ve been looking for a certain patron of yours. I’m not sure what name he goes by now…he has a sharp pointy spear, a permanent scowl on his face?”
*****
Verr Goldet gets a strange visitor one night who claims to be looking for her most elusive patron.

Summary
Time is not linear but cyclical. The end is, and will always be, an immutable constant. You can rewrite the first chapter, but the closing line will invariably end with slaughter. To change fate is to write a whole new novel.
-
There is something strange about the new boy in Gojo’s class. The world tells him his name is Itadori Yuuji, a boy burdened by the weight of expectation and possessed of powers beyond his years. His Six Eyes tell him he is a monster, an indomitable force with venomous fangs and bloodstained claws. His soul, however, sees just a child.
–
Itadori travels back in time to when Geto and Gojo are still in school. Tragedy has not yet been put into motion, and Itadori will do whatever it takes to put an end to it, even if it kills him - especially if it kills him.

Summary
Now that Harry is back at Hogwarts with Hermione for eighth year, he realises that something’s missing from his life, and it either has to do with Ron, his boggart, Snape, or Malfoy. Furthermore, what, exactly, does it mean when one’s life is defined by the desire to simultaneously impress and annoy a portrait? Harry has no idea; he’s too busy trying not to be in love with Malfoy to care.

Summary
Dvalin is not poisoned. The Anemo Archon fells Durin, and with his blessing, Mondstadt alone emerges from the cataclysm unbroken by the Abyss. But how? No scholar knows.
500 years later, Xiao travels to Mondstadt to warn Barbatos of an Abyss Order plot—but there are questions, too, twisting in his heart. Among them: Why did you save me, that night in Dihua Marsh? Why haven’t you visited since then?
And, because he knows all too well that power comes at a price: what did you pay to protect Mondstadt?
(The God of Freedom has so few choices.)

Summary
Shang Hua's village is of little importance, except to the people who live there.
The village sits near a river, near land rich enough to be arable, but not so fertile that there aren't lean years. It's not the smallest village, although it doesn't quite aspire to the heights of being a town; the residents number in the hundreds, but there are not so many of them that the aunties can't keep track of everyone's name, and it's an event to be talked about for weeks if travelers pass by.
People still talk about the rich family that built an estate there as newcomers, and that manor house was built before Shang Hua was born.
❄️
In which Shang Qinghua befriends the young nobleman from the manor, and only finds out he's a demon when it's nearly too late.

Summary
… so that one day each one of us may find his own again.
The stage lights dim. He and the wolf are supposed to meet in the center and Xiao winces at the loud, mean booing from the crowd when the boy with freckles like a smattering of chestnut stars prowls onstage, looking absolutely nothing like the wolf Xiao had thought he was.
This boy standing in front of him is cherry-cheeked and bright-eyed even though he’s defenseless and Xiao is carrying a two-handed axe big enough to split his skull in two. This boy smiles at Xiao even though he knows what’s about to happen, the expression he’s wearing honest and open and so very sweet. This boy is no wolf. How could Xiao have ever thought he was?

“It’d be me who what?”

Summary
There are some things you take for granted in life.
The sun on your face (the friends who stick by you), hot chocolate on a cold day (sleep unplauged by nightmares), the smell of the ocean breeze (food not tasting of ash). You never know what you have until it's gone.
For a thief who's had everything taken away from him, and a detective who's pushed everyone away, life has never felt more bleak. Perhaps with one another, they can find a reason to live again.

Summary
Albedo rushes up to her, easily picking her up and heading towards her room. “Hey! No, let me go! Mister Swan said Kaeya was hurt!” She protests, and almost kicks at Albedo’s chest before he puts her down swiftly in the middle of her room.
Albedo runs a hand through her hair, and she can feel it shaking. “Stay here. I’ll be back for you in a bit, yeah? Just gotta take care of some things. Can you do that for me?”
“Okay.” Obviously, she's not going to do that for him. Klee is now on a quest to one, find kaeya and see what happened to him, two, fix him up, somehow. That's what a little sister should do for her big brother.
-
Alternatively, Kaeya gets stabbed, Klee thinks she's a god, which is definitely Venti's fault, Albedo is stressed but put together, and Diluc is in desperate need of therapy. Klee takes it upon herself as a god to see to it that Kaeya heals, her big brothers stay safe (and in love), and Diluc gets the help he desperately needs with working things out with Kaeya.
Oh, and Childe is there... for a bit.Series

Summary
When he spotted red hair — much like flames, blaring and vibrant — amidst grassland, only punctuated by the lone glaze lilies, he felt intrigued. The human’s red locks were falling out of his dark hood, barely hidden, like a tempered storm.
It was bewitching.
Rex Lapis wondered what someone like him was doing in Liyue— someone as entrancing as him.

“Ah-ha! Not true. Time is the only thing we have.” Venti refuses to let Xiao meet his end so easily. He doesn’t know Xiao, not really. But it’s just so frustrating to see him with freedom right between his fingers and still refuse to hold on. He could if only he tried.
