Summary
But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and the jackass varsity lacrosse star Ajax is the sun, the moon, and the center of the universe at Vindagnyr Prep. Unfortunately, there's not much that Bennett, recent transfer and theatre techie, can do about his leading role in the school play.
Not when the department needs more ticket sales. Not when everybody loves the guy that reminds Bennett a little too much of the bullies he transferred to escape. Not when a casting emergency lands Bennett in the scariest place possible: center stage.

Summary
One more year before Aether gets to be his own person. One more year before he’s free to explore the world, find himself, self-actualize—to be someone other than Lumine’s twin brother. Everyone says that senior year of high school flies by, but everyone doesn’t have to play second fiddle to the star of the show.
Until the new, distractingly beautiful, and unattainable director of Vindagnyr Prep’s theatre program turns the spotlight on him. What would a double-PhD student playing TA want with a high school senior with no prospects and no ambition beyond getting out of Mondstadt?
What would Albedo want with the one boy who sees him as more than a curiosity, who comes alive under his attention? He knows what he’s allowed to want, what’s morally correct—and what he cannot, under any circumstances, take.
At least, not for 274 days.
[Aebedo spinoff novel to Off-Script]

Summary
That’s a draw to Lyney, a gravitational attraction.
The simple explanation would be that he reminds her of her brother. The even simpler explanation would be that he’s dazzling—is made to dazzle, to lure, to distract, by the very nature of his profession. Like a shining conch lying at the floor of the ocean, leading Lumine astray from her initial quest in favour of running her hand over its spiny, glittering surface. Perhaps the distraction is why it aches a little less, letting herself get carried by the roar of the gasps and cheers and applause of the crowd.
However, Lyney is more than just a magician donning a top hat; he embodies the concept well, but he’s only human. Capable of performing, just as capable of being hurt.
And sometimes, he looks at her strangely. After his performance ends, when the afterglow has worn off, when the adrenaline has dissipated, he always glances at her, a little sad of eye.
or: how to unperform.

Summary
This is the anatomy of a lie. It's self-inflicting violence that’s survived with him since childhood. He’s dissected out every calcified blood-clot and tugged out stringy fascia and cleaved out all the gristly internal tissue. And with the same level of meticulousness, Lyney knows all about the recipient, intention, delivery, motivation, reinforcement, and consistency necessary of a lie. After all, Lyney resides in the wake of his own artifice.

Summary
“...Well, being the polar opposite of Beelzebul is pretty funny,” Wanderer admits. “She’s an oppressive tyrant that strikes the fear into everyone’s hearts, and Barbatos is so hands-off that his people don’t even know if he’s still alive.”
“Uh huh?” Nahida presses.
Wanderer scratches his head. “He killed a giant dragon.. That’s cool… I guess…”Wanderer, Barbatos, and what freedom means.
