Summary
Childe couldn’t look away.
He stood in front of a large glass tank.
It wasn’t the tank, nor the weird technology surrounding it, that seemed to hold the Harbinger's attention. It was the familiar figure that floated in the center of the tank.
The figure’s arms were wrapped loosely around his knees. His clawed hands were black as obsidian up until his wrists, where metal bands were tightly clasped. A long tail, glittering with brown and golden scales, protruded from the figure’s lower back side, and spiraled under him until the fluffy tip rested at the bottom of the tank.
A set of 4 horns, seemingly made from core lapis itself, extended out the top of his head. All 4 horns came to curled tips, except one, which appeared to have had several inches broken off.“Xiansheng.”

An Elegy for Lost Wayfaring Strangers by rimacchi

Summary
At the height of a great war, an incident in Zapolyarny makes a renowned army general retire and he ends up living his life in seclusion on the outskirts of Qingce. After seven years of grief away from the strife and bloodshed on the frontlines, Zhongli believes that he will never find a sense of peace and normalcy in a time of discord; that is until he finds a Snezhnayan soldier on the brink of death in the wheat fields.
Zhongli has experienced and lived through hardship. A stab through his gut? Survived. A highly dangerous military operation in the middle of a harsh territory? Succeeded. But perhaps a former general's true challenge is keeping an enemy soldier safe in his house when the said soldier barely speaks any Liyuen and Teyvat Common.

Summary
"You are very beautiful," Morax says. "Just because I do not remember does not mean I do not think so."
--
[Amnesia AU:] The one formerly known as the Geo Archon wakes up to a world he has yet to see, in bed with a stranger he has yet to meet, and something beyond the obvious is not right. AKA Zhongli loses 2000 years worth of memories, so he is not really Zhongli anymore—he is Morax.

what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? by leaderofthedolphins

Summary
His hand slips a little as he pours the toxins into a cup. He’s taking more than he should, but who can blame him for wanting to get ahead a little? The more poison he consumes, the more he’ll be able to tolerate.
It would only make him stronger once he pulled through anyway, he thinks as he downs the poison. It fights through his throat as if it knows it doesn’t belong in his body.
His head starts to spin. Ah, it seems the numerous toxins he’s consumed have started to kick in. Sure, he had to take a day off, but he hardly minded. More time to spend with Zhongli. Of course, he’d have to wait till the man got off from work and whatnot, but he’d have plenty of time to spend with him now that he didn’t have any obligations for the next day.
Mithridatism, or the act of poisoning oneself in gradually increasing increments to gain immunity, is all in a day's work for a Fatui Harbinger.
When Childe takes just a little more than he's supposed to, however, things don't go so well. But when he gets out of this, his immunity to the poisons will be stronger than ever, so it can't be that bad. And at least Zhongli's here to take care of him through it all.

kissing the ground (of your sanctuary) by TrashcanWithSprinkles

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
Yaoyao rustles in her pocket for a moment. “Alright, well I’ll give Zhongli the blindfold, and then the ‘rebels’’ countdown to hide will start. The countdown will show on your wristbands, and so will the game time afterwards.” She pulls out a simple black blindfold, extending the fabric to Zhongli. “Ready?”
“I am,” Zhongli says, but looks to the others for confirmation.
“Oh! Yeah, I guess?” Yoimiya says, exchanging glances with Childe and the Traveler.
The Traveler shrugs. “Sure.”
“Yeah, I’m ready,” Childe says, watching Zhongli fasten the blindfold around his eyes. Somehow, the black fabric doesn’t make him look foolish, or any less imposing than before. It makes something in Childe’s gut burn, and he impulsively blurts– “Make sure you don’t go easy on us, Zhongli.”
Zhongli’s head swings toward Childe, and even through the blindfold Childe swears he can feel the weight of that golden gaze. Zhongli’s lips curve upwards. “I shall certainly endeavor not to disappoint.”
_____
While on a reconnaissance mission in Mondstadt, Childe gets roped into a game of Snowtrace. He isn't expecting to see Zhongli.
To the victor go the spoils.
