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.

Summary
“What is the meaning of this?” Zhongli glanced up at an irritated La Signora. Within her hand was the Gnosis, but…
It was merely the top half of the Gnosis — which should’ve been whole in the first place. Instead, it was split in two with the location of the second half unknown. Not even the Tsaritsa had warned the Harbingers of such a possibility.
“This was not part of the contract.”
“I said I would give you my Gnosis and I have.”
She glared at Zhongli. “Where’s the other half?”
Zhongli remained silent.
—
In which the Geo Archon isn’t just one divine entity, but two. Zhongli and Childe wander the streets of Liyue Harbor all while sharing a split Gnosis and working on their shared Archon duties together.

Summary
Zhongli had become… a yellow blob. His shock was further accented by the movement of two feelers on top of his head that looked a lot like ears. The ex-archon couldn’t believe this. The stress of losing his gnosis had turned his human body into a mini Seelie.

Summary
They're sitting on the docks of Liyue harbor. Summer sun bearing upon them, scalding lashes. Enough to smear the horizon into flickering mirages. Reflecting glass on the ocean blue. As gleaming as the waves are, Childe has his gaze seized by the man beside him. His tongue, nimble, and salacious, on the frozen popsicle. Trailing to catch the melting sugar. Before dragging, tantalizingly slow, with what Childe’ll describe as a deliberate temptation, to the tip. Wrapping his lips again, over the frosty treat. And Childe swallows the knot in his throat.
“Do you always eat ice cream like that?”
