An Elegy for Lost Wayfaring Strangers by rimacchi
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
16 Jul 2026

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
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

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
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
06 Jul 2026
Tags
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.

Veritas Ratio V.S. The Universe by cakecats

Summary
Apocalypse: Star Rail might be the worst game Dr. Veritas Ratio has ever played. In what world is murdering half the known universe for no reason even remotely reasonable? What kind of game kills off its most compelling characters just for shock value?
Also, why is he now in the game — and as a damn NPC, out of all things?
【 Activation Code: “Moronic developers, moronic game.” It is our sincere wish that during your time, you can fulfill your desires and, in accordance with your wish, transform a piece of moronic work into a magnificent, high-quality, first-rate classic. Bound Role: Unnamed male NPC of the Veritas Prime star system, age 0. 】
【 Congratulations! Welcome to Apocalypse: Star Rail, version ██! 】
Well. If these idiot developers can’t take constructive criticism, Veritas might as well construct the criticism himself… by forcibly inserting himself into a plot where he’s never existed.

Summary
Zhongli, once a foreign child left at Snezhnayan borders, rose through hatred and war to become the King’s most trusted soldier—and now, Prince Tartaglia’s sworn protector.
This is the closest he can be to him. In this role, he can not only protect him, but shower his prince in the affection he’d always thought he deserved and had never received. Though, when court secrets begin to unravel and forgotten pasts begin to stir, the prince has only one person he knows he can turn to, while Zhongli learns of truths he wished stayed buried.
Will his unspoken love for Tartaglia test where his loyalties lie and make a vow forged in blood, or will he find that fate had other plans?
———
When the king had assigned a whole party of guards to watch over him because ‘he wouldn’t yet be able to defend himself’, the prince had sneered and pointed right at Zhongli, “If you insist I have someone tailing me where ever I go, then I’ll have him.”The King had been stunned into silence before laughing, “I think not, son. The Captain of the Royal Guard? Ha!”
The whole crowd of people had only then laughed with their King before Zhongli had faced his prince and said, “I accept, your highness.”Bookmarked by wings_of_ash

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
“What on…” Tartaglia frowns a little. “Zhongli?”
“Come in!” Comes Zhongli’s answer, muffled. “The door is unlocked.”
Tartaglia grins. Laughs a little to himself and opens the door. The handle is freezing in his grip, and he quickly goes in, dragging his suitcase behind him.
“Oh…”
The smell of home hits Tartaglia so suddenly that his eyes water. He stands in the hallway, frozen. Lets his suitcase lean against the wall and takes a moment.
- When Ajax returns to Liyue on business and cuts time with his family short, he doesn't expect Zhongli to cook meals from home to ease his homesickness. Perhaps there is more to this reuniting than what meets the eye.

Summary
“Ten thousand Mora he doesn’t show,” says Dainsleif.
“Twenty that he does and in the next—” Guizhong pauses to look at the position of the sun. “Half-hour.” Dainsleif grunts, but accepts the wager with a handshake.
“Everyone,” cuts in Morax. His fellow Defenders are a certain sort of idiocy that makes his head hurt from time to time. Morax is often tired of being both the brains and brawn, but there is little choice when the others are more focused on breaking spines than actually protecting. The dream team, their people call them. Defenders of Liyue.
More like a rag-tag bunch of barely functioning immortals hanging on by minimal threads of sanity. Morax is exhausted just thinking about it.
Morax, leader of the Defenders of Liyue, has a long-standing weekly fight with Tartaglia, Denizen of the Deep. Just one problem: their spars are more like dates, and he's kind of fallen in love with the guy. Written for Defenders of Teyvat, a Genshin Magical Boys Zine.

Summary
Zhongli, meanwhile, sits back in his chair, flabbergasted. “You mean to tell me in your twenty-odd years of life—” Childe corrects his age, clearly proud of his relative youth. “—you have never taken a lover?” He uses this turn of phrase deliberately, and it has the desired effect.
Childe’s face flames. “That’s—that’s not—” He clears his throat and lowers his voice. “We were talking about dating.”
“So you have done neither,” Zhongli says slowly.
Childe has always been too dedicated to the Tsaritsa to find time for intimacy. Zhongli changes that.

Summary
“Zhongli,” Childe says, rocking them side to side slightly. “I’ve got it.”
“Got what?” Zhongli asks. It’s impossible to not smile when faced with that look - it’s something that had compelled him to want to be Childe’s friend. No one makes him smile as much as Childe can.
“I should suck you off,” Childe continues, still smiling, still rocking them from side to side. “It’s perfect. You’re sexually repressed-” Nonsense, and Zhongli scoffs- “and really bad at picking up women-” Okay, that’s true- “and I’m bisexual. I can suck dick. Good at it, even.”
Zhongli’s heartbeat is far too loud in his ears, but he’s very sure he didn’t mishear that. “Um.” That wasn’t where he thought this conversation would go, but now they’re here it’s actually surprisingly easy to imagine Childe on his knees. “But you’re… not my boyfriend?”
Zhongli knows two things about himself - that he's heterosexual, and that he's going to fail his entire degree if he doesn't get his brain to co-operate with the whole learning thing. Thankfully for Zhongli, he has a beautiful bisexual roommate who is happy to (platonically, of course) blowjob him back on track.

Summary
The door falls open with a gentle push, its rusty hinges whining from disuse. It takes ten steps to cross the room, Jiaoqiu's hand finding the wooden countertop just where he knew it would be.
Even if, in his absence, the building has fallen into disrepair, he can still walk through the place from memory.
Jiaoqiu sighs. “I didn't mean to be gone so long,” he says into the empty air. An apology to the building he’d forgotten to care for. The poor house seems to be in an even sorrier state than Jiaoqiu himself is.

Or after the event on the Luofu, Jiaoqiu returns to the Rainsoar Lake with Moze in tow.Bookmarked by wings_of_ash

Summary
After his little brother is bundled back to Snezhnaya, Childe makes good on his promise to the traveller and takes the first boat out of Liyue Harbor. Any sense of homecoming lasts about as long as an uncooked steak in front of Xiangling, however, when his boat sinks, grounding him back in the mainland.
It's just as well, because the next morning, a body is found in the Northland Bank.
A visit from a fellow Harbinger reveals a far more insidious plot than anything Childe could concoct with a god of the vortex and twenty minutes without supervision. The murders aren’t limited to the one Bank. They’ve been trailing down the Liyue border, getting closer and closer to the city. The Tsaritsa has a new mission for him: to figure out who, or what is targeting Fatui forces.Against his best wishes, Childe is forced to see Zhongli again at the morgue. It becomes clear that he’s going to need a guide, and Childe resolves to quash his pride, and their differences to request his help to navigate Liyue and solve the case.

Zhongli offers him a polite smile, his hands retreating politely behind his back. “No, it is an honor to meet you, Mister Childe. I have heard much about you; I must congratulate you on being nominated Rookie of the Year at the Fontinalia Film Festival.”
Ajax’s heart is about to give out. What do you mean his idol knows about him and his feats? “Oh, thank you. I appreciate it a lot!” He offers a grin. “And please, just call me Childe. No need for any formalities.”
“Very well then, Childe.” Zhongli’s smile is almost blinding. “I look forward to working with you.”

Five times where Ajax embarrasses himself in front of his idol, and the one time Zhongli confronts him.

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.
