Summary
When Lady Ningguang proposes a contest while rebuilding the Jade Chamber, half of Liyue rushes to take part. The winner must bring Sunset Vermillionite, Wonder Cores, and Adepti Sigils. Few people have heard of the first two items, and as for the sigils, it’s hard enough to locate an Adeptus, let alone convince it to give a boon. Who in the world could possibly amass such a huge number of sigils in a short amount of time? …Wait a second.
(AU version of The Crane Returns on the Wind, with accompanying spoilers)

Summary
“Will you kill me?” he found himself asking.
“No,” came the immediate reply. “I only kill those that is required of my job, and those that deserve it.”
“Will you, though? And can you make it quick? I don’t want it to hurt for too long – I just want it over with.”~
Bennett gets separated from his adventuring party, gets kidnapped by Fatui defects turned mercenaries, and gets rescued by a rogue warrior. They journey from the heights of Qingce to the boarders of Liyue Harbor, and along the way discover that there is more to this world than the loneliness they feel, and what it means to be home.

Lover of the Emperor, Enemy of the State by equinoctial

Summary
Many have flocked to Liyue to try their hand at conquering Rex Lapis’ Path of Indomitable Jade, rumoured to be relentless in its challenge but bountiful in its reward. Unsurprisingly, Ajax’s one track mind honed in on the word challenge and ran all the way to Celestia with it.
No one told him it was a bygone tradition that vied for the emperor’s hand in marriage, not until much later, when Liyue was already decked to the nines in preparation for the coronation of the emperor’s beloved consort– an Ajax-shaped consort.
(In which a bored Childe thinks he’s scaling up mountains to fight adepti and gain bountiful gifts for his nation and all that jazz, but he actually ends up wooing one of them and fighting favour from the rest and-- uh, wait, what do you mean the eccentric rock enthusiast is the emperor--)

Summary
"Welcome to a new user experience! You have triggered this interface with the keywords, ‘Stupid game! Stupid devs! I want my f*****g money back!’ You are now bound to the character Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, codename: Childe! We hope you have an enjoyable user experience and we welcome you once again to Genshin Impact 2.0!”
Those are some of the first words Ajax, starving college student extraordinaire, has the misfortune of hearing upon waking up in a brave new world from what he's fairly sure is a very fatal accident involving water and a shit ton of electricity.
Okay, so he's not dead. That's good. But what's this about him being stuck playing the character Tartaglia? Tartaglia, as in the no-good, one-dimensional, cartoonish villain who met his untimely, gruesome death in the first act of the original game?
Forget this. Like hell Ajax is going to share that fate.
And so begins one man's journey to save himself from his awful destiny.

i think you're so good (and i'm nothing like you) by TrashcanWithSprinkles

Summary
Ajax had a soulmate mark, just like about half the population of Teyvat did.
If Ajax ever found his soulmate, he would pretend to be normal for them. He would observe from afar if possible, and make sure nothing happened to them. That no ailments ever came to them. That they never came to lack anything.
That was the plan. Or, at least, it had been, until the Tsaritsa requested an audience with him alone and asked to see his mark.“Tartaglia,” she began, serious. “That is Morax, the Geo Archon.”
-------------
Or, Ajax is Morax' soulmate, the Tsaritsa ships him off to Liyue, and he has to pretend like he doesn't feel like he's not good enough for the Geo Archon.
[the word count up to chapter 14 was 69 420 and i think i won't achieve something as beautiful ever again]
