Summary
The first time Morax laid eyes on the mortal named Xiangling, it was as Rex Lapis during the Rite of Descension. She was a tiny little thing then, jamming her incense stick into the censer quite unceremoniously and squeezing her eyes shut as she made her wish.
I wanna make the best food ever and help baba out a lot, because mama can’t anymore.
He received her prayer.

Summary
"Do you understand its meaning, Childe?" He finally asks. There's a hard glint in his eyes, like he's trying to steel himself for his answer.
"Yeah." Loyalty and devotion, right? Between business partners? "I do. It's traditional, isn't it?"
Zhongli's eyes glow a warm amber in the near darkness, reflecting the soft shine of the lanterns. He studies his face with a strange intensity, as though Childe were a piece of high quality Nocticulous Jade being sold for suspiciously small sum and he's trying to find the blemishes that would explain the price. The weight of his gaze should be uncomfortable, boring into him like he can see into the very depths of his abyss-tainted soul, but Childe finds himself preening under the attention instead.
Childe accidentally proposes to Zhongli. Zhongli accepts.

Summary
Zhongli may be acting mortal now, something that only a few thousand years ago would have seemed impossible, but it still doesn't come naturally to him. He's still a dragon and an ancient god, even if his daily life now consists of dealing with the schedule of a funeral parlor and lacking mora.
And after 6,000 years, there are some things that are hard to forget - and people as well.
((Essentially, Zhongli is a parental figure for a multitude of people, both Adepti and mortals, and angst/chaos ensues))

Wings of Gold from Tales of Old by whatafunnythinglifeis

Summary
[Written before the release of the 2.7 update.]
The goddess of dust heard a story of a golden-winged adeptus child one day during the Archon war, and sets off to see if there is any truth to it.
A few decades later, the god of contracts sets eyes on a bloodhound scrabbling at the earth and, while looking at the spindly bones protruding from his back, thinks that the bloodhound seems fit for the sky, not the ground.
After the thrones of Celestia have found their owners, a group of divine beings find themselves branded as "The Yakshas" and find themselves faltering when it comes to the bird of their group, who appears to meet all attempts at friendship with the edge of a jade spear.
When the archon of snow and ice sends her youngest to the land of contracts, a creature touched by the abyss finds that the curiously wise man he fell for has an interesting history with a loner who lives on an inn's rooftop.
The author takes many liberties, as canon was looked at, loved, and thrown out the window during many points in time.

Summary
"So the Tsaritsa does not know you have a child.""No." Childe squeezes his eyes. He should probably emphasise to Zhongli or something that this isn't his child. "I mean, I don't think so, but—"
"And you don't know where to go with him," Zhongli says, "or think you can protect him."
Way to boost his confidence. "No."
Zhongli closes his eyes. Exhales. "Alright," he says, "Then it is enough."
"Enough for what?" Childe has no idea where this is going.
Zhongli raises his palm. Outstretched.
"Make a contract with me," he says.
What does it take to reconcile a God and his Harbinger? Turns out, it's a kid.

With reddened cheeks and an open mouth awaiting the next dish, Childe is a delicacy Zhongli wants to partake in.
And oh, the dragon has plans, even if it'll take him years.
