Summary
After his little brother is bundled back to Snezhnaya, Childe makes good on his promise to the traveller and takes the first boat out of Liyue Harbor. Any sense of homecoming lasts about as long as an uncooked steak in front of Xiangling, however, when his boat sinks, grounding him back in the mainland.
It's just as well, because the next morning, a body is found in the Northland Bank.
A visit from a fellow Harbinger reveals a far more insidious plot than anything Childe could concoct with a god of the vortex and twenty minutes without supervision. The murders aren’t limited to the one Bank. They’ve been trailing down the Liyue border, getting closer and closer to the city. The Tsaritsa has a new mission for him: to figure out who, or what is targeting Fatui forces.Against his best wishes, Childe is forced to see Zhongli again at the morgue. It becomes clear that he’s going to need a guide, and Childe resolves to quash his pride, and their differences to request his help to navigate Liyue and solve the case.

Summary
During the Rite of Descension, tragedy struck in the form of Rex Lapis falling dead in his own city. Amidst the chaos and confusion, the Qixing ordered that the assassin be arrested. No one was allowed near the body of their dead god. No one else saw that which materialized from the corpse of Rex Lapis—none but the Qixing.
An AU where Morax died during the rite, but was reincarnated due to his people’s unshakable faith. Unfortunately, not all is well, as the god has no memories of his past self.

Summary
Childe regretted the words the second they left his mouth.
It was just that Zhongli had kept talking and talking and talking and-…
Well.
Something just snapped.
“Just shut up for once!”
Zhongli had stopped talking immediately, looking at him with a flash of both shock and hurt in his eyes. Childe’s heart clenched painfully at the sight, though he liked to think that was just his body still being weakened from overusing his Foul Legacy form. Not him actually feeling bad or anything.
‘Apologies.’ was all Zhongli said before spending the rest of their time together in complete silence.
And with someone like Zhongli, silence was loud.
Archons, he’d really messed up, hadn’t he?

Summary
“I know you’ll find me again. And we’ll love each other then.”
“Someday.”
When Zhongli meets Tartaglia again a thousand years later, it is in a book cafe with the same ginger hair, the same ocean eyes, but a different view. Regardless of how much time passes, however, he wants to love Childe again, and again, and again.
