Summary
Osial falls. A Gnosis exchanges hands. And Ekaterina lies dead in her office.
Then Childe wakes up, two days before he's due to raise Osial, only to watch these same events play out gain, and again, and again.
To save Ekaterina from her untimely death, he's forced to repeatedly relive the two days preceding the murder, searching for clues and narrowing down his list of suspects, all the while juggling his ever confusing relationship with Zhongli.

Summary
Childe takes a deep breath, a steadying breath, and his chest catches. No wonder the secrets hurt so much. No wonder the betrayal cuts so deep. He knows exactly what this is. What he’s feeling. He should’ve expected this. After all those dinners, those shared evenings, the stories told, he should’ve expected this.
Rubbing idly at his chest, he deflates, some of the anger sputtering out into dying embers. Most of it, really. It’s hard to stay angry when you know the truth: that you only feel so hurt and betrayed because you love so deeply.
Love. What a joke.
After the final battle with Osial, Childe and Zhongli find themselves separately facing a similar affliction of the heart.

Summary
Strange entities wearing the faces of humans lurk Snezhnaya's streets, luring in and indiscriminately slaughtering unsuspecting civilians.
Childe's job is to kill them.
A few weeks after accepting a new contract, Childe's target is proving elusive. Fortunately, a chance meeting with Zhongli—a handsome author from Liyue—provides a welcome distraction from his work woes. However, as their relationship develops, it becomes apparent that Zhongli knows far more than he originally let on, habouring secrets that threaten to upturn everything Childe has ever known.
“You came.” Rybakov exhales, a trail of smoke floating up through his moustache, past the ‘No Smoking’ sign on the wall, and he taps his cigarette off in the ashtray. The pattern of black residue speckled with white ash isn’t dissimilar to the pattern of white hairs salting his dark hair, although it also wouldn’t be surprising if it were actually ash in his hair with the amount he smokes. “Then I can assume you wish to take this contract?”
Childe resists the urge to cover his nose. “That’s why I’m here.”

Summary
The Pyro Gnosis has been claimed.
With all seven Gnoses in the Tsaritsa's possession, the final fight to free Teyvat from Celestia's reign and the Abyss' terror draws close. Summoned to Snezhnaya to fulfil their roles in the upcoming battle, Childe and Zhongli find themselves travelling aboard the same ship when a storm hits, stranding them in Childe's hometown of Morepesok.
Forced into close proximity with both his father and Zhongli, Childe is forced to confront the unresolved tensions in each relationship whilst readying himself for the battle he's spent a lifetime preparing for. Meanwhile, Zhongli must fight to learn how to love the man who seems determined to subdue the feelings lingering between them.
Then, just when Zhongli thinks their situation can't become any more complicated, the unveiling of a decade-held secret threatens to steal away the perfect future he's been longing for.
"It is a weapon's honour to be used until it shatters. This is my purpose, Zhongli. This is the moment I’ve been preparing for my entire life."
"But what of Ajax? Does he not possess dreams of his own that he wishes to live on for?"

He is safe.
He is safe, here.
After the events in Fontaine, Childe returns to Liyue.

Summary
“Good mornin’, folks. If you’d be ever so kind as to divulge yourself of any valuables. This here is a stick up.”
On the Teyvat frontier, Tartaglia — of the famous Harbinger Gang — takes a handsome man hostage after a train heist gone wrong. Sparks fly as this Professor Zhongli proves to be a skilled marksman, charming conversationalist, and knowledgeable about their next robbery target. Too bad he's also Morax, head of the Adepti Detective Agency and legendary outlaw hunter.
Zhongli must balance his duty to the law and the enigmatic ginger he's falling for. Will this lawman tempt the infamous Tartgalia back into the light? Or will Childe corrupt Morax to a life on the run?
