    Summary

    “The loss of my lord’s gnosis has caused a,” Xiao deliberates, a particularly pinched expression crossing his face that would have amused Childe greatly were the subject at hand not Zhongli, “…regression, of sorts.”

    Childe prompts, “Regression?”

    If possible, Xiao’s expression pinches further, but he doesn’t reprimand Childe for his interjection. “A regression to biological urges that most adepti have learned to adapt to and control by adolescence.”

    ______

    Or; While attempting to adapt to mortal life without a gnosis, the presence of a suitable mate triggers a latent rut in Zhongli.

    Summary

    To be entirely fair, Zhongli had planned to fake his death. He would drop a fake Exuvia just as the Qixing called for him during the Rite of Descension, and he would let everything unfold from there.
    That had been the plan. He might’ve started to regret the circumstances, but never the end result. Rex Lapis was meant to die.

    Zhongli wasn’t.

    So why did he?
    And if he did,

    Why was he awake now, somewhere he did not at all recognize?

    --------

    Or, Zhongli not-quite-transmigrates into a modern version of Teyvat and has to figure out why the Zhongli from that universe (whose body he took over) has died, along with other things threatening the nation. With the other Zhongli dead, he's the only Morax left, after all.
    And Morax is duty-bound to protect Liyue.

    Summary

    Extreme canon divergence/ AU: What if Eiji never injured himself and therefore never came to the US? The events of Banana Fish still happened, but differently, as Eiji wasn't there to influence them.

    Without the injury to slow him down, Eiji Okumura continued to pole vault and eventually won the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (which actually took place in 2021). Two and a half years later, he finally arrives in New York City. Haunted by feelings of inadequacy, he's ready to give up pole vaulting and create a new life for himself as a photographer. However, the immigration process in the US is long and complicated, and there's no guarantee he'll even be accepted.

    Eiji wants a shortcut, and Max Lobo suggests one in the form of a fake marriage to Ash Lynx.

    Summary

    Long ago the Cryo Archon made a bond between humans so that they would never be alone. This would later come to be known as a soulmate bond that took the form of a black mark on the skin that would turn into a different color upon having your soulmate touch it.

    Except Zhongli didn't have a single mark to be found on his body.
