Summary
Concrete and plaster rain from the ceiling, a cloud of dust billows from the floor to create a storm rivalling the Desert of Hadramaveth, and Zhongli raises a geo shield moments before a slab of concrete hurtles toward him, slamming against the shield and shattering in pieces on the floor.
From within the cloud comes a glint of purple and a low, dark laugh.
“Oh, xiansheng…looks like you don’t have much of a choice now, do you?” Childe emerges from the chaos, his hydro polearm crackling electro at the tip. “Don’t go easy on me. I won’t be holding back either.”
After one of Dottore's experiments goes wrong, Childe spends a week lost in the depths of the Abyss. Summoned to Snezhnaya to assist, Zhongli meets a darker, more tormented Childe than the one who left Liyue only weeks prior, tainted with an insatiable thirst for the Geo Archon's blood.
As Childe continues to struggle against uncontrollable transformations and his own dark urges, Zhongli contends with his own uncertainty in being able to assist before Childe is lost to the Abyss's call.
After all, how can one who is not human hope to help another regain their own humanity?

Summary
“Are you a Sentinel?” he blurts, before remembering Skirk's reticence to questions.
She doesn’t stop moving, but she does glance at him from the corner of her eye.
“No,” she says. “But you are a Guide.”
Ajax blinks, faltering. The woman does not stop there.
“You have also been blessed by Celestia. That Vision was next to you when I found you. To come into both blessings while in the Abyss.” She pauses. “You’re either extremely fortunate, or perhaps extremely cursed.”
“A Guide?” Ajax’s brow furrows. “No, I must be a Sentinel.”
------
Ever since Ajax was young, he has dreamed of being a Sentinel like his father. With heightened senses and strength, he could easily be a renowned adventurer, able to make a name for himself.Life does not quite work out that way.

Summary
Liyue Harbor is the last place on Teyvat that Ajax wanted to see a second time, but the Tsaritsa's orders are absolute.
His mission is simple. The tangle of emotions in his heart is not.
He'd sworn never to forgive Zhongli.
But contracts made with yourself are the hardest ones to keep.

Summary
A cyborg outfitted with abyssal tech, Childe has made a name for himself as a mercenary for hire in Liyue’s lawless underworld. His history and allegiances are a mystery, his family a distant memory. All he has left is the strength in his body and the vicious cunning that’s kept him alive despite all odds.
Zhongli works as a simple undertaker, located in an unremarkable funeral parlor hidden away in the slums of Liyue Harbor. Amidst poverty and squalor, and with little to his name, he is nevertheless the perfect model of a gentleman. His encyclopedic knowledge of the world, as well as a lack of practical understanding, make him a puzzle to those who know him.
When the Celestia Corporation sends assassins after Zhongli, he hires Childe as a bodyguard. At first Childe does it for the money, then for love. Over time, he comes to understand just who Zhongli really is and why he must be protected at all costs.
For the zhongchili minibang. Beautiful art by Gida.
