Summary
To be entirely fair, Zhongli had planned to fake his death. He would drop a fake Exuvia just as the Qixing called for him during the Rite of Descension, and he would let everything unfold from there.
That had been the plan. He might’ve started to regret the circumstances, but never the end result. Rex Lapis was meant to die.Zhongli wasn’t.
So why did he?
And if he did,Why was he awake now, somewhere he did not at all recognize?
--------
Or, Zhongli not-quite-transmigrates into a modern version of Teyvat and has to figure out why the Zhongli from that universe (whose body he took over) has died, along with other things threatening the nation. With the other Zhongli dead, he's the only Morax left, after all.
And Morax is duty-bound to protect Liyue.- Language:

Summary
Marco had lived through five lives, each vastly different from each other, in experiences and people. But the only thing that remained out of those lives were him. They left and he stayed, only to be re-born again into a new life.
But when he got reincarnated into his sixth, the island he woke up to, the wanted posters and newspapers headlines, the pirates... they were all too familiar. Far too familiar that he cursed fate with more than just a string of colourful words. He stayed away from it all, piracy and sailing alike, but fate never did appreciate his cursing.
(Or: Marco gets reincarnated into his sixth life and meets the Whitebeard Pirates again.)
(Or: the reincarnation fanfic no one asked for, but I wrote anyway because I was bored and wanted to write some Marco angst.)

Summary
“Why are you the way you are?” Law asks, gesturing to Zoro and Luffy in their entirety. “You look pathetic.”
“Luffy fell in,” Zoro shrugs. Law thinks he may be the only person in the world who can convey both “Luffy fell in, he’s such a fucking idiot” and “Luffy fell in, what else was I supposed to do but follow?” in one line.
“I’m very sorry.” Luffy reaches up and pats Zoro on the chest.
“You’re a terrible liar.”
Luffy wheezes a short laugh. “I like swimming with Zoro.”
“Shut up, you little shit.”
“How about you both shut up and let me work,” Law grouses.
OR
Stargazing and snow, festivals and dreams, and the quiet change in the dynamic between Law, Luffy, and Zoro during a few cold nights on the way to Zou.

Summary
He’s a little thing, maybe four or five years old if she had to guess, and that would be concerning enough considering he’s alone in the woods, a quarter of the way up a mountain and at least a mile away from civilization all by his lonesome. But Nami’s always been the observant type of person; had to be, to get by for most of her life, and to be a good navigator, and this kid? This kid is setting off all the warning bells in her mind. Not the kid himself, mind you; but at all the little details that are telling her that he really should not be here.
When Law goes missing during a stop on a quiet, out-of-the-way island, the Hearts and the visiting Straw Hats immediately drop everything to find him. But instead of the captain, they find a small boy with a familiar face who just wants to go home.
As investigations into the strange nature of the island and what has happened bear fruit, both crews are left with the uncomfortable realization that they don't know how to predict how or if Law will be able to return.
Or worse: if he'll even want to come back at all.

Summary
The Zombie Apocalypse idea that wouldn't get out of my head and exploded out of all proportion.
~ ~ ~
Given a choice between the furtive and the flamboyant, Dazai chooses flamboyance, throwing open the doors marking the entrance to the Armed Detective Agency with a flourish of flared coat and fake grin. To be confronted by complete silence after such a display was not the entirely expected consequence of his actions, yet, now that he pauses to think about it, he was supposed to be here well over an hour ago for some very important and critical meeting Kunikida had scheduled (on very short notice he might add). He’d had every intention of appearing on-time, a spectacle which may actually have rendered Kunikida speechless, so rare an event would it have been. Yet, as always, life – or his decided lack of interest in its continuance, to be more precise – ever has it’s own ideas.

Summary
Dazai leans back, far enough that he’s looking at Chuuya upside down. His coat falls off his shoulders, draping over the armchair like a second shadow. That thin smile snakes across his face. “I have a question for you, Chuuya. Don’t answer right away!” He waggles a finger in admonishment and a snicker bubbles up. “It’s serious. I want to know.”
Pushing back a sigh, Chuuya answers, “Fine.”
“When I finally get it right—when I finally kill myself—how are you going to celebrate?”
—
Or: Dazai spirals. Not everyone is willing to let him.

Summary
Yes. Wilbur had to bite his tongue to keep the answer from spilling out of his mouth, because yes he wanted more. Of course he wanted more. He wanted to be more than the bastard prince. He wanted to be more than a mistake his mother made before she married Tommy’s father.
But that wasn’t the role he had been cast for in his life.
“It doesn’t matter,” Wilbur said instead. “When Tommy turns eighteen he’ll be crowned King, and I will be his advisor. He’ll be a good king, I’ll make sure of it.”
or, as the bastard prince of the planet of Eldingvegr, Wilbur has always known he was never meant for greatness. That was his younger brother's destiny. Wilbur's job was simply to try and make sure Tommy could fulfill that destiny.
That becomes decidedly more difficult when the brothers are betrayed, and are forced to flee their home planet. With the Essempi Empire being one of the largest imperial powers in the universe, the only place that can offer them refuge from Emperor Dream is Zephys IV—capital planet of the Antarctic Empire, ruled by the ruthless Emperor Philza.

Summary
Kaeya Alberich, 23, is in a tight spot. The life of a Dancer really does not pay the bills, and since the Big Disastrous Fight with his brother - if he still can call Diluc that - Kaeya can't exactly rely on the family money to get by.
It's one ridiculously hot summer day, when Kaeya is lying on the floor of his dingy apartment, melting into the floorboards because of course his AC is broken (what isn't?), that he receives a phone call asking if he's interested in becoming a surrogate for quite an affluential couple haling from Liyue.
Desperate and a bit delirious, Kaeya agrees to a meeting with the couple.
And, oh, he could really never have guessed the change that had been set in motion. Whether he will survive it or not is entirely up to the Stars.

Summary
An AU where after the events of 'A New Star Approaches', Tartaglia is re-assigned to Mondstadt. His active presence in the City of Freedom is a curiosity after Signora's cool detachment, thus it is only prudent that the Acting Grand Master turn to her most effective Captain to investigate.
Kaeya is talented at what he does, but he is blind to what he needs, and that narrow focus fails to alert him to something increasingly obvious until it has him by the heart.
Ripples in water travel great distances, and no one is prepared for the consequences when they come.

"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.

L rubs his thumb against his lip, “and you suspect you know who Kira is?”
“I’m Kira.” Light replies.
“I see,” L murmurs, “so this is a confession?”
“Of sorts,” Light prefaces. “That is to say; I was Kira, until three days ago, but now I need your help to prove it and stop whatever I’ve put in motion.”
“You better start from the beginning.”

Summary
He dies, and when all is said and done in that inky after-death, Father hands him an old scroll, adorned with the Hatake clan symbol and a peculiar looking seal.
“One of my biggest regrets,” Father tells him, “is never getting the chance to introduce you to the clan.”
He wakes up into a valley he’s never seen before, occupied by silver-haired villagers with familiar, dark eyes. As the questions grow darker than the answers, everything Kakashi thought he knew about the Hatake is challenged, as is his hope for ever getting home.
---
Kakashi dies, un-dies, and opens his eyes to blue skies and a valley occupied by the peaceful Hatake clan. Though resting and healing seem straightforward, it’s anything but in this village where he’s viewed as a threat by most--not to mention his own, newfound clan attributes that threaten to swallow him whole.Series
