Summary
Sometimes service is a blade in the dark. A plunging spear. A foe dispatched, silent and swift.
Sometimes service is slaughtering gods and monsters alike, eliminating any challenger to Morax's rule, any threat to the civilization he now builds, order from chaos, with stone-steady hands.
And sometimes service is this.

Summary
Albedo — an alchemist based in Mondstadt, in the service of the Knights of Favonius.
"Genius," "Kreideprinz," or "Captain of the Investigation Team"... Such titles and honours are of no consequence to him when there is so much more research to conduct.
The pursuit of fortune and connections cannot hold a candle to his heart's desire — acquiring the limitless, obscure knowledge left behind by previous generations of scholars.
[Albedo fails to kill his impostor and is captured. Strangely enough he finds himself in Sumeru, his true identity revealed, and ends up playing a key role in the Grand Sage’s last desperate plan to create Sumeru’s true Archon.]Series

Summary
Kunikuzushi doesn’t know this beach. As far as he’s concerned, it’s the same as any other in Inazuma. Dendrobiums bleed up from the earth, ugly wounds that flourish amidst decay. He’s tired of such unsightly things.
Or maybe he revels in them. His fingers close around the golden arrow-feather clipped above his right ear. He only wore it tonight so that the man would recognize him.
So he tells himself.
———
When the dreamer awoke, it was not to opulence.

Summary
He choked, instinctively, and his hands flashed to his sword, but the hands were strong, and almost glacial, and his instinct won against his training, his hands reached up to his assailant and scratched desperately against them.
“What,” a soft voice whispered against his ear, sending a shudder down his spine as his head spun. “Are you doing in my room?”

Summary
An accidental magical bonding isn't how Childe wanted to become a father, but parents don't really get to choose their children, do they? He's only giving up a year of his life, just until the baby can bond with her birth father, but it's still a year of his life. Besides, he and Zhongli aren't on the best of terms--not any more--and now, they're stuck raising a baby together. It's alright, though. It has to be. And all he has to do is not get attached.
(Aka: Childe accidentally bonds himself to a baby adeptus, tries not to get attached, and then gets very attached.)

Summary
He can hear the metaphorical drag of chains behind him as he walks, the weight of shackles burning deeply into his flesh. His back where his shoulder blades lie hurt. He doesn't remember why anymore.
Through the thicket of trees and foliage, Alatus comes to a stop. He pries away thick vines and scraggly branches, peering beyond them a the scene beyond. What he encounters is a dancer amidst a clearing of ginkgo trees, the wind swirling leaves and petals alike around that lithe figure.
It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.

Summary
Childe had always assumed that he would die young. He had accepted that a long time ago, ever since he accepted the mantle of a Fatui Harbinger. However, he always thought that he would die in a glorious fight, his body broken but spirit relishing the strong opponent that had bested him. He was okay with that type of death.
Unfortunately, it seemed like Fate had decided to add one last insult to injury, because, here Childe was, dying because he had fallen in love with the ex-Geo Archon. The same Archon who seemed to have discarded him like an old toy ever since the Osial Incident.

In which divine beings are cruel and a cursed Childe starts preparing for his inevitable death because no Archon could ever love a mortal....Right?

Summary
Xiao is the name he was given upon his new contract with the great dragon Rex Lapis, but before that, he was Alatus, a weak adeptus twisted to the whim of the God of Dreams. The blood on his hands and karmic debt on his shoulders corrupt his Heart and drive him toward death, until he happens across an otherworldly light stumbling through a lonely valley.
Aether has visited and fled more worlds than he can count, careful never to get attached, but this is the first time he's truly been trapped on any one of them, stripped of his power and split from his sister. He is certain he will starve and fade, chained by his immortality to a life of unending agony, unable to even put himself to rest— until he meets a lost and achingly gentle adeptus who brings him new hope.
It will be a long time before either of them learn how to receive the love they are given.
