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.

Ad Astra Per Aspera by Ultralazypotato for scheinen

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.

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.

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.

Look Me in the Eyes (and tell me that it's me) by TeaAndSconesx
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
22 Nov 2024

Summary
Final year university student Ajax dreads graduating. A lifetime of sitting in a shitty office at a shitty computer, making shitty cups of tea for his shitty coworkers is his last idea of fun. But when he (quite literally) runs into the mysterious, handsome Zhongli who—lucky him—agrees to a date, he’s gifted a Vision—an ancient artifact of power from an era long since passed.
With the Vision in his possession, he begins to recover memories of a past life of exhilarating battles and heroic deeds, propelling him into a lifestyle of delivering justice to Snezhnaya’s streets, slamming down would-be criminals with a well-placed fist to the face.
However, when these memories begin to take a darker turn, Ajax starts to question who he really was, and what these memories mean for who he is today.

Summary
"You must not sleep. Fight it. Stay with me."
"Don't worry… 'm not going… anywhere."
Before he could fully fall asleep, he felt it. It was like being electro-charged, his entire body filled with the sharp sting of energy. A rush like no other pulsing through him. Zhongli's bare hand cupped his face. A delicate brush of skin on skin as Zhongli patted his cheek and urged him to open his eyes. And in that moment, he felt the unmistakable shock of a soul bond.
After a freak accident involving his Delusion, Foul Legacy form, and the Primo Geovishap, Childe is convinced that Zhongli is his soulmate. However, spending time with the former Geo Archon reveals that Childe’s feelings may be one-sided. In a world where being soulmates means sharing emotions through that bond, Zhongli’s stoicism spells disaster for Childe’s newfound affections. Childe must decide whether to reveal the connection or give up on claiming the god as his own.

The Anatomy of an Apology by Cavalierious for Nuying (Lachrymosity)
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
07 Apr 2024
Tags
Summary
“That is a demand.” His words are well-honed, like the sharp edge of a razor. But they are not unkind. His thumb is warm against the back of Zhongli’s hand, which now lacks his usual glove. “On your knees,” he requests politely.
They have done many things together, shared many new and pleasurable moments, but never something like this. Zhongli has submitted to Childe (Ajax, Ajax, Ajax) in a multitude of ways, but never has he prostrated himself so. He goes to his knees. Settles between those thighs, palms resting against the top of Childe’s rough trousers hesitantly.
There is nothing… sexual about this. Sensual, yes. Vulnerable, absolutely. Zhongli tenses as Childe lifts a hand. Softens when those fingers card through his hair gently. “Relax,” says Childe. “I just want you to rest, and I know that you won’t if I don’t make you.”
In the aftermath of Zhongli revealing that he is Morax, he goes into an unexpected heat. Lonely and bereft, he goes to the last person who'd want to see him--Childe.

Summary
When Childe returns to his safe house after a mission gone bad, injured and bleeding, he finds the abandoned cabin isn’t quite as abandoned as he thought. The eldritch entity residing there calls himself Morax, and though he speaks with touches instead of words, the rapport the two build quickly goes beyond that of mere roommates.
- - -
A shiver runs down Childe’s spine, and on instinct he lifts his head, scanning the room for danger. From the corner of his eye he spots a shape just beyond the doorway to the bedroom. It’s dark and shadowy, tall, vague around the edges and it’s watching him.

when you wish upon an aranara plushie by mandathegreat
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
03 Sep 2022
Tags
Summary
This was no way to carry on. He either had to approach the man, or give up. Probably the latter, since there was no way Zhongli even spared him a passing thought.
He grabbed the Aranara plushie that Teucer had given him when he went away to school from where it was placed face down on his bed. He turned the little green spirit around, and looked at its face.
“I just wish I knew what was going through his mind.” He said, out loud, to a fucking plushie.
And as he made his way out of the room, he didn't see the little plushie softly beginning to glow.
...
Or: Thanks to the magic of the forest spirits, Ajax magically gains the ability to read Zhongli's mind. Shenanigans ensue.

Summary
Zhongli took the infant from Childe, cradling him in his arms. The child bore a striking resemblance to his father, but his blue eyes were full of light, shining as he studied Zhongli curiously.
“You know how to hold a baby.” Childe’s hands were shaking slightly as he conjured Hydro to fill a small bottle.
“I have lived a very long time,” Zhongli said, “and I have an impeccable memory. Whatever you are running from, Childe, you will find safe harbor with me.”

Summary
“I like the kind of person who doesn’t flinch when I look them in the eye, who doesn’t back down.” Childe’s grip on his tie tightens, eye to eye, blue to gold. “Someone strong enough to match me and ambitious enough to enjoy the...challenge.”
Zhongli’s rationality is swallowed by that soft ocean scent, his lungs clogged by the shimmering heat that drenches the air.
“Is that what you are?” he murmurs. “A challenge?”
“I think you’ll find, Mr. Zhongli, that I am the greatest challenge you will ever face.” Childe’s lips are a sin, hovering over his, apple-sweet temptation. “Will you back down now?”
And Zhongli, cursing himself, does not back down.
Childe is a dangerous crime boss threatening the peace of Liyue. Zhongli is the retired intelligence agent sent to infiltrate his organization and bring him to justice.
But beneath Childe’s many masks, Zhongli finds a lost soul who yearns for redemption, and beyond Zhongli’s steadfast duty, Childe finds a tired soldier who yearns for a home.

Summary
“The loss of my lord’s gnosis has caused a,” Xiao deliberates, a particularly pinched expression crossing his face that would have amused Childe greatly were the subject at hand not Zhongli, “…regression, of sorts.”
Childe prompts, “Regression?”
If possible, Xiao’s expression pinches further, but he doesn’t reprimand Childe for his interjection. “A regression to biological urges that most adepti have learned to adapt to and control by adolescence.”
______
Or; While attempting to adapt to mortal life without a gnosis, the presence of a suitable mate triggers a latent rut in Zhongli.

Summary
“Are you a Sentinel?” he blurts, before remembering Skirk's reticence to questions.
She doesn’t stop moving, but she does glance at him from the corner of her eye.
“No,” she says. “But you are a Guide.”
Ajax blinks, faltering. The woman does not stop there.
“You have also been blessed by Celestia. That Vision was next to you when I found you. To come into both blessings while in the Abyss.” She pauses. “You’re either extremely fortunate, or perhaps extremely cursed.”
“A Guide?” Ajax’s brow furrows. “No, I must be a Sentinel.”
------
Ever since Ajax was young, he has dreamed of being a Sentinel like his father. With heightened senses and strength, he could easily be a renowned adventurer, able to make a name for himself.Life does not quite work out that way.

Summary
His eyes fell on the handle of the knife, still lying where he had dropped it. Half intact. Just enough to see the initials carved in the sloppy way of a child. Just enough to realize, somewhere deep behind the snarling in his chest, was a child who recognized them.
All you do is run.
So he ran, the legacy ripping free like skin torn from a too-fresh wound, losing its purchase even as he grew more afraid, because it was the act of a coward, to run. The desperate last act of a dying child who had once been called Ajax.
Maybe it was shame.
Maybe that was why he could never remember her face.the abyss needs an archon, and the abyss never forgets
