Summary
When the Fatui requested the services of Wansheng Funeral parlor, Zhongli didn't expect he would find himself at the door of an apartment that looked suspiciously similar to his, with one hand on the handle and a takeout box grasped lightly in the other. He opens it and comes to his entrance hall, …except not. There’s a bowl for keys he doesn’t use with a bundle already in it and an additional pair of shoes slumped to the side.
“Zhongli? Is that you?”
Childe?

Summary
Childe smiled at the baby in his arms, his tiny hands moving in grabbing motions as his body contorted in his hold. It seemed like at least someone was happy with their trip.
"Are you excited?" He whispered to his son, tickling his belly just so he could hear another wet giggle.
The baby almost seemed to nod, a trick of his eyes for sure, but it made him smile anyways. "We'll just see doctor Baizhu and, hopefully, no one else." Childe whispered again, more to himself than the baby, but it did not reassure him the slightest in the end.
After keeping their son a secret from Zhongli and any other person besides his family, Childe is left in a dilemma: go back to Liyue, where everything he lived felt like an elaborate lie, to learn why only now his half-adeptus son is growing horns and risk seeing Zhongli again. Or keep hiding himself with Leshy at his family's home in the snowy plains of Snezhnaya.

How to Survive a Mild Cold and a Very Dramatic Boyfriend by the_untamed_poet25
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
05 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
It isn’t even a real fever. Not technically.
It’s a 99.7°F “maybe you stood too long in the sun” kind of fever. A “take off your coat and drink some water” kind of fever. A “the gods laugh upon your suffering because this isn’t even a real sick day” fever.
But Zhongli, patron saint of overreactions and dramatic pauses, approaches it with the solemnity of a mourning dove at a funeral. A very well-attended, state-sanctioned funeral with ceremonial incense and floral offerings and perhaps a casket carved out of geo crystal.
“You’re pale,” he says, tone already six inches into the grave. “You’re flushed. You’re—by the Archons—sweating. Lie down immediately.”
“I just ran up the stairs.”
“Lie. Down.”
“I feel fine.”
Zhongli, who has not slept, eaten, or blinked since the Sneeze, responds by forcibly tucking him into bed with the inexorable strength of an Archon and the pained silence of a man who has read six medical journals in the last twelve hours.
In which Childe sneezes once and Zhongli begins planning the funeral rites.

Molting Is a Normal Biological Process, Actually by the_untamed_poet25

Summary
“I did.” Childe throws the mango underhand like a basketball. Zhongli snatches it out of the air with one clawed hand, glaring. “You were glowing and tremoring and whispering about tectonic realignment. Hottest shit I’ve ever heard. Molting? Even better.”
“Please leave.”
“And let my hot immortal boyfriend molt in peace?” Childe gasps. “Absolutely not. What if your skin gets stuck and you need help peeling it? What if I miss the ceremonial shedding of the shoulder scales? What if I don’t get to keep a scale again?”
“You framed it last time.”
“Yeah! And it's in the guest bathroom like a statement piece. Everyone loves it. They think it's modern art.”
In which Zhongli molts and Childe loses his mind, again.

How to Get Out of a Blind Date (Step 1: Kiss a War Criminal) by the_untamed_poet25

02 Nov 2025

Summary
“Let me get this straight,” Childe says later, lying upside down on Zhongli’s couch, legs over the backrest like an overgrown cat.
“I will allow it,” Zhongli says without looking up from his tea.
“You want to pretend to date me?” Childe says, eyes wide. “Like, pretend pretend? As in, hold hands and flirt in front of your boss until she stops trying to hook you up with undead calligraphers and sad wine aunties?”
“Precisely,” Zhongli replies, brushing imaginary dust from his sleeve like he isn't making a pact with a walking war crime.
Childe stares. “I accept.”
“You don’t need time to consider it?”
“I’ve been preparing for this role my whole life.”
“You have?”
“Yes,” Childe says solemnly. “I have flirted with you during five separate assassination attempts. I have followed you through tea shops, graveyards, underground fight rings, and that one very suspicious dumpling cart. I have described your voice as ‘chiseled honey dripped over sin.’”
In which Zhongli lies to get out of a date and ends up fake-dating the embodiment of chaos.

Five Times Childe Got Flustered (and the One Time Zhongli Did) by the_untamed_poet25
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
09 Nov 2025

Summary
Five times Childe got flustered in increasingly ridiculous ways (involving an aggressively poetic flower metaphor, a museum exhibit with weaponized scrolls, a duel that ended in a pond, a shirtless hot spring situation, and one gloriously tension-filled shared bed). And one time, with syrup between them and undeniable love, Zhongli finally got flustered too.

Summary
"Lesson for the day, do listen to your wife.” Ajax scoffs playfully, pinching the side of his arm. “Stop being a worrywart.”
To Rex Lapis and Morax, this moment may seem trivial; household quarrels, a child’s whim, and daily little things. Its importance is confounding. For Zhongli, it’s the spectrum that constitutes his life.

Summary
After the abyss, many things change around him. His parents are in particular. The light in their eyes vanished with his return. Their affection and care are no more. There’s only a drought welcoming him. He doesn't really remember about his birthday after that, its meaning gone along the way, replaced by his parents’ haunted face.
In their eyes, it’s fear, disdain, questions.
'Where has my son gone? Who is this stranger living with our boy’s skin?'
What is there to celebrate in his birthday? Childe thinks it's unnecessary addition of his identity.

Summary
Zhongli lands a chaste kiss on Childe’s forehead as the thought crosses his mind.
The singularity that Childe is, he’s the movement that creates his new universe, and indeed, he has the ability, in a far future, to swallow it all with his disappearance. However, such risk can be mitigated. He will make it so that his beloved will be with him for millennia. He shall bestow Childe that so-called divinity. His beloved will flourish into the everlasting lush garden, and he'll seed him for that of eternity.

Summary
The power reserved in his possession carries the might to destroy the planet should erosion contaminate a speck of it. The lengthy route he took to prepare his people is only right. He can be their very own enemy in the unforeseen future, destroying everything to dust (Guizhong likely will rise from her grave for the atrocity).
Recently, however, he’s more inclined to admit that his retirement is a selfish desire all along.

kissing the ground (of your sanctuary) by TrashcanWithSprinkles
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
For the record, Ajax was not at all opposed to being sent on missions as another Harbinger's backup. As long as he was given things to fight and the rest of the tasks were not excruciatingly boring to get through, Tartaglia would comply without issues.
The actual mission, the actual tasks, the actual experience of being the backup was not the issue here.
The issue was-...He was the only Harbinger being tasked with things like these. The only Harbinger being designated as backup. The only Harbinger being treated like a class below the rest.
(Because Tartaglia was rash and reckless and could not be trusted to keep himself safe.
Tartaglia was to be looked after like an unpredictable rabid animal that only behaved under certain conditions.Tartaglia was off.)
---
Or, Childe struggles to understand why the Tsaritsa insists on treating him differently from the other Harbingers, and tries to pretend like his affiliations aren't irrevocably shifting towards the mysterious god he meets in Liyue.

Summary
A river of russet and black spills onto his lap—it’s soft, exquisitely so. Despite being a cursed gift from Winter, the pelt is warm beneath his hands, and in a moment of weakness, Zhongli holds the thing to his cheek, delighting in the feel of it.
Common sense is cold, and he lowers the fox’s pelt. This…is not a companion. Not even close! Still, to spurn a gift from an Archon is to be a fool, so when he goes to sleep that night, as a human would, he tucks the pelt into its golden box and places it into his closet.
In a Liyue where Zhongli retires alone, he is lonely and adrift. Even the strange gift the Cryo Archon sends him is not quite enough to alleviate his boredom, until a knock at his front door changes everything.

Summary
I shouldn’t be doing this for her. I should be doing this for him. For Morax. Rex Lapis. Zhongli. What’s even the point if it’s not him?
Coming to the realization he can't belong to a God that isn't the one he desires, Childe has the idea of making an offering to the former God of Contracts in hopes of being accepted. The offering in question being the lives of some pesky people and his own virgin body to sweeten the deal.
Zhongli, on the other hand, is partially disturbed by the madman's sacrificial offerings, but not enough to abstain from taking what was offered alongside them. The wisdom of six thousand years means nothing when ignored in favor of irresistible temptation.
Pure love is a violent thing, indeed. Or at least it is for them.

Summary
On his knees, worrying his bottom lip between his teeth, lamenting how Morax wouldn't fit inside his pretty, pink mouth, Ajax looked so innocent. A red blush colored his cheeks, ears, and shoulders. He was so aggressively cute. Sweat soaked the roots of his tousled orange hair. Freckles littered his soft skin and stood out beautifully against the deepening blush. His strong hands fidgeted in his lap, covering himself.
Yes, Ajax was too precious and interesting to let go.
Childe and Zhongli accidentally time travel to the Archon War.

Summary
“I can totally stay away from Zhongli,” Childe whines. It’s not like he wants to stay away but his feelings for the man are getting in the way. Last week he got so lost staring at the way Zhongli’s throat was moving while he was telling Childe about tea that he ended up walking into the pond right in front of Third-Round Knockout and it’s only been getting worse. Katya raises a brow at him, wordlessly scoffing and he’s just about ready to blow up when a polite knock interrupts them.
“I wonder who that could be,” Katya says. She picks up the files from Childe’s desk and makes her way out, letting Zhongli into the office.
“I hope I am not being a bother,” Zhongli says as he takes a seat on the couch in Childe’s office. “The size of the pile Miss Ekaterina was carrying looked quite heavy.”
“Don’t even worry about that,” Childe laughs, as he comes around his desk and takes a seat from across Zhongli, plans about distancing himself from the ex-archon absolutely forgotten.

Summary
“What is it that has brought you to Liyue?”, he asks, as if Childe knew the answer to that himself.
“Well, it has been - what? - more than a year since I’ve left here, I believe”. Childe stares at his steaming cup of tea. Even if he tries avoiding those golden eyes, he can see their reflection in the mixture in his hands. It bothers him. “I happened to be in the vicinity when I remembered that time has almost come for Lantern Rite to adorn the city. So, I thought I’d visit for a short amount of time. Outside of work, that is”. Dull blue eyes stare back at him from the cup he holds, almost mockingly so. Why has he come here, anyway? What’s even left here? A vain attempt at nostalgia?
"It has been two years since you have left."
Childe huffs. As if it matters.Bookmarked by slothesaurus
