Summary
“Darling,” he mutters, kissing the spot just underneath Childe’s ear, “I know that look. Part-time.”
Right, right, part-time. Not that Zhongli knows the meaning of that word. Childe doesn’t think he ever worked less than a sixty-hour work week, even when sick. And, one could argue that even retirement is work for him; he just focuses on having fun instead.
“That’s a funny thing coming from the man who has a spreadsheet for every fun activity.”
Childe and Zhongli share a lazy morning in during retirement.

Summary
Zhongli is usually a calm person, but there is always one person, or in particular, a whiney omega in heat that makes him lose his composure rather quickly.
Having to fare with said omega is, likewise, something an ex-archon can only resist for so long.

Summary
Tartaglia stares longingly, his window remaining open as he took in the fresh air. It’s moments like these where he can experience freedom. In reality, he knows he never will. His Tsaritsa simply doesn’t need him at the moment. She hasn’t in a long while. But he can dream from within a comfortable abode in Liyue, away from the rest of the world. For now, he can be “Tartaglia” while “Childe” can be locked away.
… And then, a man from Liyue, with eyes more brilliant than Cor Lapis, comes knocking upon his door. Metaphorically and literally.
—
In which Childe was personally raised by the Tsaritsa as a living weapon. He spends his time living a domestic life in Liyue’s mountains on a years-long standby. And that is fine. He’s a monster anyway. People are meant to run far away from him.
( Chapter 3 and beyond are written after the 1.1 update. I have fully seen the rest of Liyue's story and the Childe story quest! )

Summary
Zhongli’s eyes widened, instinctively stepping out of the way as something darted past him. The odd entity carried the scent of rainfall, its body lightly glowing like an illuminated sea. The streets of Liyue Harbor were filled with panicked cries.
No one could gain a better view as the thing leaped into the water, vanishing upon impact. Zhongli approached, peering down upon the water’s surface. There wasn’t even a trace of that creature being there in the first place.
“... What was that?”
—
In which Childe isn’t completely human, is nearly 200 years old, could probably become an archon if he wanted, is a “part-time” Harbinger, and eventually ends up moving in with Zhongli.
Meanwhile, Zhongli has never seen a being quite like Childe in all of his years of living. Childe is left wondering why the Geo Archon looks at him like he’s the most interesting thing in the world.
