Summary
“A dragon’s treasure must be presented as an offering to proceed,” chimes the little Secret Source Servant hovering next to them.
Aether’s face twists into displeasure, glancing around the courtyard.
“Paimon still can’t see anything that looks like treasure,” she complains, flitting around the area.
It’s true, nothing stands out, even to Childe’s eyes. With a hum, he crosses his arms over his chest and thinks, considering the glimmering seal over the door looming before them. There are glowing lines of phlogiston running beneath the door and around its circumference. At the side of the door where the locking mechanism sits, there is what appears to be a small stone altar of sorts, raised up from the ground and surrounded in the same golden light as the door’s seal. Presumably, this is where the offering is supposed to be placed.
“What’s even in this Temple of the Coveted?” Childe inquires.

Childe attempts to help Aether with unsealing an ancient dragon temple in Natlan and gets more than he bargained for.

Summary
Before his eyes, Zhongli shattered into a million pieces of light.
It was blinding, and Childe covered his eyes in reflex. The light peeled away in layers, solidifying into three distinct figures.
One emerged broad-shouldered and frowning, with two horns atop his head that curled with amber tips; his very presence rattled the air. Gold kissed hands that looked more like claws, his white robes marked with dirt and ash.
Morax. The brutish God of War. From the beginning of Zhongli’s long life.
Another stepped out, with the same pair of horns as the other, clothed in regal finery, dark brown robes embroidered with threads of gold, similar to Zhongli’s current attire but far more elegant. His posture sharp, eyes cutting through the space immediately to Childe, lingering with an unnerving amusement.
Rex Lapis. The God of Commerce and Trade, the establisher of Liyue. A man for a taste of all things fine.
And in the centre, left kneeling and breathless, Zhongli himself—the man Childe knew—steadying his own balance, calm but pale.
→ In which, Zhongli is split into 3 versions of himself, and Childe is left to deal with the mess.

Summary
Childe takes a deep breath, a steadying breath, and his chest catches. No wonder the secrets hurt so much. No wonder the betrayal cuts so deep. He knows exactly what this is. What he’s feeling. He should’ve expected this. After all those dinners, those shared evenings, the stories told, he should’ve expected this.
Rubbing idly at his chest, he deflates, some of the anger sputtering out into dying embers. Most of it, really. It’s hard to stay angry when you know the truth: that you only feel so hurt and betrayed because you love so deeply.
Love. What a joke.
After the final battle with Osial, Childe and Zhongli find themselves separately facing a similar affliction of the heart.

Summary
Childe:
Hey got a hot guy’s number. Real daddy potential. That means you’re on guard duty so I don’t fuck up.
Kaeya:
I take no responsibility for your fuck-ups.
