Summary
When Cyno finds a mysterious child who speaks a language he has never heard in his life in the desert, he makes the decision to take her to the one person who might help: Alhaitham. No one expects Kaveh, who hasn't spoken to Alhaitham since their fallout, to offer aid (including Kaveh himself).
What is meant to be a temporary situation becomes anything but as the new roommates and part-time parents grow fond of the young girl, and this unexpected situation brings them closer than they have ever been before.
Meet Sharzad: thoroughly confused former Genshin player, current resident of Sumeru City, and host to weird video game powers called the System that keep making her lose the 50/50 on weapons she desperately needs.
Aware of the destructive possible future of Teyvat, Sharzad attempts to train and grow her reputation as a student in the Sumeru Akademiya. However, Sumeru isn't peaceful before the Archon Quests begin, and she realises that she needs more than just intelligence and weak combat skills to win the game the gods who reincarnated her (and Celestia) are playing.
Genshin's story is pyrrhic in many ways, but with a new (chaotic) player on the field, perhaps its ending will be different.

Summary
Sharzad's not entirely certain how she managed to convince her (very protective) fathers to let her travel to Mondstadt, but she's managed it anyway. Right in time too. Aether's awoken, and now there's a whole lot of chaos about to be unleashed on Teyvat.
Is she ready? Fuck no. But with two gods in her head and too much audacity for her own good, she's ready to take on whatever comes next.
Poor Alhaitham and Kaveh had no idea what they were getting into when they adopted her, that's for certain.

Summary
The chaos continues.
Sharzad is not ready to die by meteorite. Unfortunately for her, Morax will probably launch one at her the second he sees her, so making a deal with the Archon of Geo is going to be a bit more complicated than she wants it to be.
Aether is wondering what the heck is going on with his life. There are so many confusing things about his traveling companion, and that mysterious (and very cute) Adeptus is not helping him decide whether to trust Sharzad or not. He hopes he can.
Meanwhile, Liyue's Archon Quest is two seconds from beginning and a certain ginger Harbinger has an extra mission now: find and kill the horned demon that ripped off La Signora's arm when she seized the Anemo Gnosis. Oh, and a certain Archon of Geo has a new contract to sign.

Summary
The chaos evolves.
Sharzad knows that Inazuma will be the hardest thing she's had to face to far, but she's not about to stand there and let Yoimiya die at the hands of the increasingly oppressive Shogunate. As shadowy forces work behind the scenes and its surviving Archon continues to pursue her misguided form of Eternity, Inazuma sits on the brink of all-out civil war or even revolution.
And even as all this happens, Sharzad herself has issues to deal with. Between increasing preparations for her ascension to Queen, her powers have become unstable, changing and merging with her very being in a way they hadn't for two years. Zhongli told her removing the blocks on her powers would help her get stronger, but she wasn't anticipating so many changes so fast (her fathers might kill her when they learn about the dreams).
But Nabu Malikata once was an Angel and Amun once was a King, and Sharzad?
Sharzad is something else entirely.

Summary
Chaos necessitates order.
Sharzad's finally back in Sumeru, but her return home doesn't mean being at peace like she once envisioned. The rainforest is on the brink of a revolution (led by her father, no less) and meanwhile, whispers are spreading among the Eremites that they have a god and queen once more.
Every action has its consequence and in this now political game, her every move determines what kind of leader she will be.
