    Summary

    “Tartaglia, you are being reassigned.”

    Excitement pumps through Childe’s veins as the words are uttered, his casual smile widening into an ecstatic grin. For it to be the Tsaritsa passing this mission along to him directly rather than Pierro– it must be high-stakes.

    “You will be going to Liyue,” she says, “to enter a courtship with Rex Lapis.”

    What?

    Childe swallows harshly, his tongue feeling thick in his mouth.

    “Your Majesty, I believe there may be a misunderstanding.”

    More like an impossibly large oversight to this whole plan. “Rex Lapis and I… we are not on the best of terms, at the moment.” That’s putting it lightly, though saying as much to his Queen feels immensely childish, and shame surely paints his face a burning red hue. “I do not think he would be pleased to receive me.”

    Her expression does not change, and she only answers him with patience. “On the contrary, he has specifically requested you.”

    Summary

    "You seem surprised. Was I not who you expected to see? Or is it that the tea is not to your liking?"

    "Ah, no, sorry. I'm fine." Childe shook his head and took the cup that the man poured him. "As you may know, I'm Childe. I mean, of course, you already knew that. You asked for me. But, ah... I never quite got your name." Calm down, Osial. Ajax. Tartaglia. Whichever part of me is flipping out right now.

    "My name?" The man seemed to think longly, taking a slow sip from his teacup. "My name is Zhongli."

    Osial is back in action, but unfortunately, he's back in action with the Archon who sealed him away for centuries. But said-Archon is hot and absolutely sucks at acting.

     

    or in other words

     

    Childe and Osial are one in the same, so they're both dragged into Zhongli's shenanigans.

    Summary

    “Thank you,” the man mumbled, his voice barely audible. “For...saving me.”

    Ajax gave a shaky laugh. “Yeah, well, maybe next time don’t take a midnight swim without an invite. You really gave me a heart attack there.”

    The man didn’t respond, his gaze distant. Something about the look in his eyes unsettled Ajax, a mix of confusion and...fear? There was clearly more to this than an accidental dunk in the pool.

    “You’re not from around here, are you?” Ajax asked, breaking the silence.

    The man shook his head. “No. I’m from Liyue. My name is Zhongli.”

    Summary

    Soulmates/Canon divergence
    Post Osial Battle

    Childe hated him.

    He hated the way his expression darkened.

    He hated the way those golden eyes looked at him in a way only he could see.

    He hated the way Zhongli made him feel guilty.

    He hated that he wasn't capable of walking away from him.

    He hated that he always came back to him.

    He hated that, no matter how much he denied it, Zhongli would always be connected to him in one way or another.

    He hated that Celestia had punished him enough to bind him to someone still mourning a lost love.

    Someone whose heart wasn't free.

    Someone still shackled by past actions and responsibilities.

    Someone who didn't understand him the way he wished his soulmate would.

    Summary

    Zhongli has spent his life building up the Liyue Association for the Protection of Indigenous Species (or LAPIS for short), a centre aimed at rescuing and conserving various species of Teyvat's wildlife.

    When an injured mer called Childe is brought to the sanctuary after being confiscated from a collector, Zhongli finds himself in a race against time to earn Childe's trust and figure out what is ailing him before Childe succumbs to his injuries.

    Slowly, Zhongli reaches up and presses his palm to the glass.

    Childe does not flinch, bolt, nor flee. Instead, he raises his hand, close enough now that the translucent silver-grey half-webbing between his fingers becomes visible, the small stretch of skin that reaches between the first joint of each finger, while leaving his thumb free for object manipulation, an adaptation providing the mer both the propulsion power of a marine species, along with the dexterity of a human. He touches his index finger to the glass at the same spot as Zhongli’s, and there they stand, human and mer, a connection as rare and precious as gold dust.
