    Summary

    An accidental magical bonding isn't how Childe wanted to become a father, but parents don't really get to choose their children, do they? He's only giving up a year of his life, just until the baby can bond with her birth father, but it's still a year of his life. Besides, he and Zhongli aren't on the best of terms--not any more--and now, they're stuck raising a baby together. It's alright, though. It has to be. And all he has to do is not get attached.

    (Aka: Childe accidentally bonds himself to a baby adeptus, tries not to get attached, and then gets very attached.)

    Summary

    While in his small dragon form, Zhongli ends up among some Exuvia plushies and gets picked up by Childe, who is still shaken by the reveal of his identity as Rex Lapis. The Harbinger then proceeds to confess his feelings to what he believes to be nothing more than a stuffed toy.

    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

    Childe like to drown his feeling. Literally.

    After Osial, he frequently goes to lakes, usually Luhua Pool. Making sure no one is around before stepping into the water. He'll float a bit before taking a deep breath and let himself sink.

    Before, back in the abyss, inside the water is where he feels most safe, apart from his Master's side.

    But here in Liyue, there’s no Master.

    It aches something terrible in Ajax's chest, because Liyue used to be warm. It almost feels like home.

    But no more.

    So he returns to the water, where it feels more safe, much like a creature of the depth he truly is inside.

    When he emerges, everything will be muffled either from lack of oxygen or the after-effect of the underwater silence. There'll be dizziness, but it is worth it for the few moments in which he becomes one with hydro. Free from thoughts of his mission, about Zhongli, about Liyue.

    But of course, nothing lasts. Not for him. Ajax is never that lucky.

    One of Zhongli's Adepti saw him.

     

    [In which a series of misunderstandings and well-meaning friends hilariously push Zhongli and Childe to finally do their overly waited reunion.]

    Summary

    What’s the real reason Childe suddenly came to Fontaine? And why is he feeling down?

    After Zhongli asks Childe to marry him, Childe panics and runs away to Fontaine to sort out his feelings. Rejected and confused, Zhongli chases after him to try to understand why.

    The ensuing confrontation ends with the two of them getting arrested for causing a public disturbance. But the Gardes mercifully decide that instead of pressing charges, the lovebirds should simply spend the night in jail to cool off.
    Alone. In a small cell. With one bed. 10/10 genius idea, Gardes.
