Summary
Xiao is the name he was given upon his new contract with the great dragon Rex Lapis, but before that, he was Alatus, a weak adeptus twisted to the whim of the God of Dreams. The blood on his hands and karmic debt on his shoulders corrupt his Heart and drive him toward death, until he happens across an otherworldly light stumbling through a lonely valley.
Aether has visited and fled more worlds than he can count, careful never to get attached, but this is the first time he's truly been trapped on any one of them, stripped of his power and split from his sister. He is certain he will starve and fade, chained by his immortality to a life of unending agony, unable to even put himself to rest— until he meets a lost and achingly gentle adeptus who brings him new hope.
It will be a long time before either of them learn how to receive the love they are given.

Summary
Five times Dottore observes Pantalone vulnerable, and one time Pantalone observes Dottore back.
"And I suppose if I'm ever confronted physically, I should blast them away with my signature?" Pantalone chuckled. "How very effective indeed."
"Let us hope it never comes to that." Dottore said. "But if it did, I would simply handle them in your stead."
Perhaps Pantalone should have investigated that sentence further. But he just wanted another smoke.

Summary
“Are you— Are you laughing at me?”
“Not at all.”
The man schooled his features (which had hardly moved more than an increment upwards) before clearing his throat. “Your predicament is nothing to scoff at.” Zhongli gestured with a brief outward palm, all while keeping the movement subtle. “However, your ability to emphatically articulate while being so heavily under the influence…creates quite the humorous disparity.”
“I’m not even—” a jarring hiccup interrupted Childe’s words, an action he would artfully pretend never happened, “—drunk.”
OR: where it all began.
Childe has his first true interaction with Wangsheng's most-esteemed funeral consultant (and the Fatui's trusted Liyuan confidante) after a few too many, and, predictably, doesn't know when to quit.
Can absolutely be read as a stand-alone fic, but ties into the Weight of Gold series as well.

What I Cannot Put into Words, I Offer You in the Weight of Gold by suibianitsfine

Summary
“You’re not…” Childe’s head may have been angled like a baffled puppy, but he couldn’t help it, “Put off by all of that?”
As the disk of orange dipped below the Liyuan waters and the twilight sky remained illuminated by dusky remnants of what had been, Zhongli’s golden-edged features took on a radiance of their own. It wasn’t the lights playing tricks on him when Childe saw the man’s eyes gleam, and he craved to know what that meant.
“Perhaps I give you too much credit.” He was smiling, now, and Childe’s breath caught in his throat. That was certainly new. “Maybe you do not listen as much as I thought you do.”
Childe processes just how different Rex Lapis, God of Contracts, and Zhongli, Wangsheng Funeral Consultant, really are.
They coincide at the worst of times, and it does some truly awful things to his heart.

Summary
Ajax was truly precious; he was a man with ambitions lofty enough to rival Tienheng-shan, and immensely interesting company to keep.
Zhongli sought out said-company whenever he could.
An associate, to an enemy, to a friend. A human who had fallen into the depths of carnage and never escaped; a bloodthirsty soldier who held more in common with ancient gods and monsters than his own flesh and blood.
A jewel polished by the heartless brutality of the Abyss, only made more brilliant by his overwhelming keenness towards self-improvement.
A being like Childe was never meant to be tamed; a wild spirit forcibly curbed by a god’s selfishness was inexcusable. Shackling Ajax to a Harbinger’s name, Tartaglia, the Tsaritsa’s Eleventh, without thought or care to the name given to him at birth…
As if Ajax didn’t exist in her presence at all.
Or: Zhongli and the Tsaritsa have a long-overdue meeting regarding the fate of the Eleventh Harbinger; tensions flare, godly bickering ensues, and an ancient dragon bares his fangs.
Along with his heart.
