It's been a few weeks since Childe has 'completed' his mission, and yet, he can't convince himself to leave just yet, especially since the Tsaritsa hasn't called him back to Snezhnaya, so he remains in Liyue. He remains in Liyue, where he has friends and coworkers, and most importantly, Zhongli. That is, until it all comes crashing down.

The Monster Maketh the Man [ZhongChi/TartaLi] by xTeaAndSconesx
24 parts Complete Mature
Secure. Contain. Protect. These are the words Zhongli lives by, working his way up the ranks of the SCP Foundation-an organisation dedicated to protecting humanity against anomalous threats. Now a respected researcher, he has spent the past two months as a consultant in Sumeru. His time on his current case at its end, the details of his next assignment arrive: he will relocate to Snezhnaya to assist with the initial analysis of a freshly contained SCP-a creature infused with forbidden energy and an insatiable drive to fight any who dare enter its containment cell. For a man who has built his career on the principle of protecting humanity, his new assignment will test his resolve as he discovers that there is humanity even in the most monstrous of appearances, and a little monster hidden in the places least expected.

Love Me With Your Sweet Lies [Zhongchili] by xTeaAndSconesx
5 parts Complete Mature
After Zhongli's identity is revealed to be more than he was led to believe, Childe endeavours to avoid Zhongli for the remainder of his stay in Liyue, and to forget all that passed between them. However, Zhongli refuses to let matters drop quite so easily, insisting on "talking" and "working things out". Why can't things ever be easy? * * * Please note this fic contains BOTH dynamics aka switch. Also unlike my other works it does contain NSFW scenes, so is 18+ only, thanks!

emotionless Tartaglia x Zhongli who tries to help him express himself and get a life. Or, Tartaglia has been weighed down from the past since the beginning, Zhongli has to teach him how to feel again (and get a life!!). Also, a heads up, Childe isn't mute in this story. He just doesn't talk like that one quiet kid- There are spoilers in this fanfic btw. More specifically, the archon quest in Liyue. Aka the "Farewell, Archaic Lord" quest and "A/The new star approaches.
Look Me in the Eyes (and tell me that it's me) [Zhongchili] by xTeaAndSconesx
41 parts Complete Mature
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 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.

Glaze Lilies (Chili Flower Shop AU) by MafiaDetective
21 parts Complete Mature
Zhongli is a single father of three young boys; Venti, Gorou, and Xiao; after his wife passed away. He owns and runs his own flower shop with te help of a young collage girl, Hu Tao, and has his brother and sister to help him, but he is a stubborn man, determined to earn his worth and make a good life for his boys. A generous patron crosses his threshold though, catching Zhongli's eyes and possibly even his heart after a little warming up. This fun stranger may end up being more trouble than he is worth in the end. (Relationships in the story come from ones I have established outside of this story and in no way truly come from Genshin Impact)
Seven Months in Heaven [Zhongchi/Tartali] by xTeaAndSconesx
18 parts Complete
For Childe, the only thing more difficult than completing a mission in a nation where he's hated, is completing a mission in a nation where he's being threatened with imminent deportation. Out of alternatives and with failure not an option, the only way he can hope to remain in Liyue is by entering a relationship with one of its' residents. He can think of only one person eccentric enough to go along with such a suggestion. OR: The inherent awkwardness of undertaking a secret mission while falling in love with the guy you're fake dating for your residency permit. Cover art commissioned from 1ss1k1_gn on Twitter!
