"Should I refer to you as Rex Lapis then?"
The god beside him laughed. "Let's get one misunderstanding out of the way."
He unintentionally stiffened as the god's glowing eyes turned to look at him directly.
"I... am Morax. Meanwhile YOU..." The eyes gleamed with something between mischievous and proud. "...are Zhongli. Only together are WE 'Rex Lapis'."

In a world where every generation the God of Contracts grants a human of his choice the right to rule over Liyue as an emperor, a certain funeral consultant did not expect himself to be a part of the line of succession.

Summary
“Aren’t you cold?” Jean asks dumbfounded.
“Nope," Venti says cheerfully. “I’ve never been warmer, actually!” He laughs, bells on Sunday mornings. “I forgot how it feels to have this much power. Don’t tell Master Diluc, but this might be even better than wine.”
Jean peers past him at the blizzard engulfing the city, drowning out even the angered roars of the monsters outside. “…What’s with the snow?”
“Yeah. About that…”
The Abyssal war at its most critical point, Barbatos is forced to gather more energy and therefore stops controlling the mild climate of Mondstadt. This leads to a multitude of events, including but not limited to: the first gathering of the Seven since the Cataclysm, a betting pool consisting of half of Liyue Harbour, Xiao's first and last time being an Archon and the invention of the saxophone.

Summary
Childe’s exit from the Primordial Sea after being hurled through the dimensional rift brings him on a small detour, and he comes face to face with someone who looks…a lot like Master Skirk.
(In which Jingliu and Skirk look SO ALIKE that I impulsively wrote a fic on that single premise.)Aka Childe interacts with the Astral Express, the Xianzhou Luofu cast, and check-ins on Teyvat. He participates in a few companion quests ranging from Kafka’s to Jingliu’s. Watch him comprehend the power scaling in the Star Rail verse, getting himself into trouble, figure out how to return to Teyvat, and other shenanigans (if you ever wondered what would happen if Blade met Childe, this is the fic for you). Oh and he impulsively ate the Lightless eye of the Maelstrom? (Wait- Didn't that mean he just ate the Narwhal?)
Cameos: Aventurine, Ratio, Herta, Fu Xuan, Qingque, Acheron, Kiana Kaslana (HK3, yes you saw right)
Having returned to Teyvat, Childe struggles to come to terms with the implications of what it means to have caught a glimpse of the worlds that laid beyond the false sky.
Updates Weekly.

Summary
Contracts are the bedrock of Liyue, as Rex Lapis wills it. Thus, in pursuance of His Ideals, the Lord of Geo has been exceptionally meticulous in all manners of paperwork, and so long ago had assigned the Qixing as representatives of and intermediaries for the people of Liyue, entrusting the institution with copies upon copies of all manners of contracts pertaining to the rule of Liyue.
However, even the Prime Adepti is not infallible, for His Last Contract has given rise to a delicate, and difficult, international situation.
How, you may ask? Well, let us recount the time when the Lord of Anemo becomes the Regent of Liyue and the chaos that ensues—all for the want of an old, forgotten contract Morax has yet to cancel before faking His death.
Update: undergoing minor rewrite to incorporate details as laid out in this collection of Akademiya-esque manuscripts; please give it a read for better context. Chapter Two updated as per 16th of April 2025; Chapter Ten published on the 14th of June 2025.

Summary
For Freminet, taking the brunt of what he thought was an acid attack aimed towards Spina di Rosula's boss was nothing more than a split second decision. He wouldn't call himself a hero by any stretch of the imagination, and he wouldn't say he led his life with noble and virtuous intentions either...
...but when the urge to help someone comes to him, he ponders little over it. That's just what a good person would do, and Freminet desperately wants to be a good.
(Still, maybe he should have paid more attention to just what was being splashed.)
OR
Freminet dissolves into water. That really should have been the end of it, but it seems like the ocean wasn't keen on letting him go yet.
