Summary
Financially independent and highly successful hybrid Childe takes in Zhongli, the shivering human he finds on the streets. Best friend Aether calls Zhongli his “pet human”, which Childe takes offense at, thank you very much, but what else should he call the man who makes his tail wag for the first time since he was a wee pup?
Zhongli laughs. "I’m your pet human?"
"No- There is no mine. You’re a human, why would you be mine?"
"If you so insist on finding a term to call me, I can be your," Zhongli suggests, oblivious to Childe’s distress. "Housekeeper."
Housekeeper. Childe can work with that. It sounds better than-
"That makes you, my master?"

Summary
Kaveh returns from a trip in the ruins in the late hours of the night, and slowly finds out that maybe, maybe it hadn't been an ordinary trip in the desert.

Summary
What does it matter if he’s cold when he’s only a two days journey from being dead?
Or, he assumes he’ll be dead. The rest of the court seemed to think so, the way they all stared at him with such cloying pity after the Tsaritsa announced her plan to win over the mysterious nation to the south.
A show of diplomacy, a gift to the great Warrior God.

Summary
It’s been two months since the storm, and Childe hasn’t seen Zhongli not even once, not since that fateful meeting with the Signora where the truth is finally unveiled.
And what a fun little kick to the gut that is, the realization that not only had he been played by all sides, but he's also being tossed aside like trash now that his use had run its course.
It’s not that Childe doesn’t get it. He’s a Harbinger. He knows first-hand what it means to do his duty, to put the mission first and his personal feelings far, far away, preferably locked up in a box, where it wouldn’t interfere with his job. He knows what it’s like working with vipers, to scheme and plot and lie in wait for the opportune moment to stab his opponent in the back.
But this time, this time Childe can’t help but feel a little (a lot) gutted.
Stupid. He’s gotten himself stupidly attached.
