Summary
It’s no big secret that Childe is a mischief-maker. Some blame his mischievous nature on him being a fox spirit. Others attributed it to his age (a mere one hundred years old compared to his guardian, the great Dragon Lord Zhongli, who’s lived thousands of years). Whatever the case may be, everybody can agree that if they ever see Childe sculking towards them with his russet bushy tail swaying behind him, it would be in their best interest to run.
The only person who doesn’t share this opinion is Dragon Lord Zhongli himself, but the great lord’s opinion hardly counts, not when it’s also not a big secret that the lord dotes on the boy.
A story where Childe tries to get himself knocked up and gets more than what he bargains for.
Submitted for the Dead Partridge Event, Day 1.

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
“Um.” Xiangling, who is equally surprised, but has been silent until now, steps behind Qiqi. “You know. We, Liyue citizens, all know the story of the adepti, err, to some extent. I know you guys are trying to keep it on the down low. But it’s pretty obvious that Mister Zhongli is an adeptus. So, err…”
“What are you trying to say….?” Childe starts to feel a little green again. Him. Pregnant? What a laughable thought?
“What if you’re really pregnant?” Xiangling finishes.

Summary
“—In addition to the Mora owed, and being provided with housing, I’ll also pay off your outstanding debts.”
That sounds far too good to be true. Kaveh frowns. “All this, for a painting? What’s the catch?”
“On top of the portrait I’ve commissioned…” Alhaitham pauses, “Well, I want you to pretend to be my mate.”

Summary
“So, you gonna tell me what the sleepwalking’s about?”
Zhongli sighs. “It’s not that I do not wish to share the details of my life with a dear friend. But you might wish you hadn’t asked.”
“Try me,” Childe suggests. “Can’t be any weirder than anything else I’ve learned about you.”
Zhongli snorts softly through his nose, taking a sip of tea. “I believe I am undergoing an old ritual, of sorts. Though I am more human now than ever before, I find myself beholden to certain instincts."
“Oh?” Childe shifts upright, interested. “You mean… dragon stuff.”
Zhongli nods, licking his lips and directing his gaze away from Childe. “I believe,” he says again, the faintest tinge of color creeping over his cheeks, “that I am searching for a mate.”
Zhongli has been sleepwalking through the Liyue streets in the dead of night, unresponsive and with eyes aglow. Childe intends to get to the bottom of the situation, but everything changes when Zhongli reveals the likely motive behind his nightly wanderings.
Childe knows he shouldn't fuck Zhongli in his sleep. He really shouldn't. But when has he ever been sensible?
