    Summary

    Final year university student Ajax dreads graduating. A lifetime of sitting in a shitty office at a shitty computer, making shitty cups of tea for his shitty coworkers is his last idea of fun. But when he (quite literally) runs into the mysterious, handsome Zhongli who—lucky him—agrees to a date, he’s gifted a Vision—an ancient artifact of power from an era long since passed.

    With the Vision in his possession, he begins to recover memories of a past life of exhilarating battles and heroic deeds, propelling him into a lifestyle of delivering justice to Snezhnaya’s streets, slamming down would-be criminals with a well-placed fist to the face.

    However, when these memories begin to take a darker turn, Ajax starts to question who he really was, and what these memories mean for who he is today.

    Summary

    Concrete and plaster rain from the ceiling, a cloud of dust billows from the floor to create a storm rivalling the Desert of Hadramaveth, and Zhongli raises a geo shield moments before a slab of concrete hurtles toward him, slamming against the shield and shattering in pieces on the floor.

    From within the cloud comes a glint of purple and a low, dark laugh.

    “Oh, xiansheng…looks like you don’t have much of a choice now, do you?” Childe emerges from the chaos, his hydro polearm crackling electro at the tip. “Don’t go easy on me. I won’t be holding back either.”

    After one of Dottore's experiments goes wrong, Childe spends a week lost in the depths of the Abyss. Summoned to Snezhnaya to assist, Zhongli meets a darker, more tormented Childe than the one who left Liyue only weeks prior, tainted with an insatiable thirst for the Geo Archon's blood.

    As Childe continues to struggle against uncontrollable transformations and his own dark urges, Zhongli contends with his own uncertainty in being able to assist before Childe is lost to the Abyss's call.

    After all, how can one who is not human hope to help another regain their own humanity?

    Summary

    Hu Zhongli is a quiet, unassuming schoolteacher and a magus. On the eve of a holiday break, a gorgeous man crashes into her life and drags her into a maelstrom of conspiracies, esoteric truths, and secrets about the world and herself.

    Now, if only tall, red, and dead-eyed wasn’t fighting against six other iterations of the Heroic(?) Spirit they all come from, maybe her and her friends could keep Liyue City from exploding.

    Summary

    “Unfulfilled wish?” Zhongli hums in thought.
    “Mhm. Or a promise. Something that’s still tying him to the living world.” Hu Tao takes a tiny sip of her tea. “As long as you're able to tie the loose ends, it won’t be a problem to help him depart.”
    This is not very fortunate, but not as awful as it could be. The only problem is…
    “He doesn’t remember a lot of things.” Zhongli glances up at Tartaglia who seems to be very interested in a little speaker on the counter. “And judging by our earlier conversations, there’s little I can do to help him to remember. I’m afraid that recalling something as immaterial as a wish won't be an easy matter.”

    Or
    Young archaeologist Zhongli discovers the long-lost burial place of Tartaglia, the 11th Harbinger of the Fatui. He doesn't expect that Tartaglia's soul, awakened from his millenia slumber, is now stuck with him. Now Zhongli makes it his responsibility to help Tartaglia to complete whatever tied him to the world of living and finally find peace.
