Summary
“We’re not friends,” Aether says. Even after all this time.
Childe only watches him with an impassive look in his eyes. And then he parts his mouth, uttering an incomplete wish, quiet to even the most perceptible of ears. Audible to only his own.
—OR—
Childe gets turned into a child, to the knowledge of absolutely no one. (Well. No one at all…?)

Summary
When Childe didn’t immediately reply, Zhongli raised his other hand to his chin, eyes falling from Childe's as he thought.
"A time loop," he added, pensive. "It is said that Rex Lapis was caught in one during the Archon War, as one of the other gods hoped to capture him there instead of actively fighting him. Since his prowess in battle far outweighed theirs, they chose instead to curse him into a loop of repeating the same day, over and over."
A tap to his lips with one hand. "He was able to break the loop only by overcoming the regret and the guilt that had locked him there. Finish the unfinished business, as it were."
or: Childe can't fight his way out of heartbreak, and he certainly can't fight his way out of a time loop. Living a day of the worst week in his life over and over (with a heart definitely, absolutely not still aching from Zhongli's little lie) was not in the itinerary for his stay in Liyue.

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

Summary
Childe got rid of his mark long ago. He doesn't care about fate, about soulmates, about how the stars kind of know who your soul might find peace with. Most people need peace while Childe needs chaos: one can't truly fight back when one's soul is not on constant alert.
Now that he urgently needs to get his mark back because of those new snezhnayan bills, his best option is to ask an old friend from Liyue for some guidance and trust the process—Zhongli's presence has always been quite grounding for him anyway.

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.”
