    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.

    Summary

    The abyss had left its mark on Childe, distorting everything about him. Even his fated mate couldn’t smell the truth of their bond.

    Life is like a slapstick comedy for Childe. Everyone laughed when he got hurt.

    Summary

    Ajax.
    Agent.
    Tartaglia.
    Childe.

    ...Mother.

    As someone who has gone through so many things and hardships, one would've thought he'd be able to handle this new phase of his life. But when Zhongli momentarily leaves their home for a business trip in Sumeru, Childe realizes just how terrifying everything is. Especially when he is an incapable mother and the Adepti is ready to rip him away from his child.

    .

    (the turbulence beneath the calm water is always the most dangerous.)

    Summary

    “If you want to adopt, that is a perfectly valid option, but I would be remiss to not inform you of… other options.”

    “Other options?” Ajax repeats, maybe just a bit lost.

    “Well, as you are aware. I am the Prime Adeptus. My true form has been lost over time, even to me, but certain attributes remain, including my methods of reproduction.”

    It clicks. Ajax’s mouth goes slack. “You mean you can–?”

    “Lay eggs, yes.” Zhongli finishes for him with a polite cough.

    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.
