Summary
Oh, what a dick. How could he have ever fallen for him? Ajax bit his tongue before an idea sparked in his mind. He would show Pantalone that he was doing just fine. No, actually, he would show him that he was doing way better than him.
Of course, he’d have to lie through his teeth.
Ajax laughed, before meeting the man’s cruel gaze. “I’m sorry, Pantalone, but that’s not true at all. I was supposed to be leaving for my Honeymoon today.”
...
Or: Due to an unexpected amount of snow, all flights from Liyue International Airport have been grounded. Ajax has an unfortunate run in with his ex, and somehow convinces a stranger into acting like his new husband to spite him.
He never expected to fall in love.

Summary
“My Eleventh.” Her tone softened. “You understand, then, what I am asking of you? This operation will not be easy, nor will it be quick.“
All too well, as Tartaglia had never been known as one to accept the easiest option, anyway.
“I understand, Your Majesty. Your will is mine.”
~
After a career-ending injury, Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger, is sent to Liyue under the guise of a new concubine within the Imperial Harem to investigate the rumors of an assassination plot against the Emperor. Fighting off assassins, he could do, but pretending to be a concubine? Not so much.

Summary
After overhearing a fascinating story about an obscure temple tucked into some corner of Liyue Harbor, Childe had only meant to have a little fun at Zhongli's expense; he'd earned at least that much after the Osial Incident. Unfortunately for Childe, his track record at outmaneuvering Zhongli isn't exactly stellar.
There's a not-quite hysterical cadence to Childe's quiet words as he leans in closer, sweeping a hand wide to encompass shelves heavy with hundreds upon hundreds of icons and figurines depicting Rex Lapis in various forms both draconic and human, lovingly crafted and singularly, proudly well-endowed. "This is your dick temple," he whispers, for emphasis. "Just — here, in the middle of Liyue Harbor?"
"Worship comes in many forms, as a servant of the Cryo Archon is surely well aware," Zhongli says serenely, eyes narrowing in suspicion when Childe makes a small strangled sound to avoid pointing out the unfortunate innuendo. "What god would turn away a sincere offering?"
"The Tsaritsa doesn't have a dick temple," Childe mutters.

Summary
“I cannot say I am not disappointed,” the wry smile that graces the Tsaritsa’s face unnerves Zhongli. He was expecting her to not give up so easily, but he doesn’t let it show.
She exhales softly and continues, “I would like to propose an alternative then. A contract.”
“Go on,” Zhongli is not too sure if he will be amenable to it, but he can only refuse another Archon so many times before they take offense.
“A marriage between our two countries. Economic prosperity for both our nations. I am willing to supplement your forces with mine and extend them for chasm reopening efforts as well. I am sure that in return the mighty Morax will not shy away from supporting the duties of my Harbingers and Fatui if and when needed, of course.”
“What are the terms of this contract?”
“A marriage,” the Tsaritsa frowns at having to repeat herself. She then gestures towards the door, specifically at her vanguard.

Summary
For the record, Ajax was not at all opposed to being sent on missions as another Harbinger's backup. As long as he was given things to fight and the rest of the tasks were not excruciatingly boring to get through, Tartaglia would comply without issues.
The actual mission, the actual tasks, the actual experience of being the backup was not the issue here.
The issue was-...He was the only Harbinger being tasked with things like these. The only Harbinger being designated as backup. The only Harbinger being treated like a class below the rest.
(Because Tartaglia was rash and reckless and could not be trusted to keep himself safe.
Tartaglia was to be looked after like an unpredictable rabid animal that only behaved under certain conditions.Tartaglia was off.)
---
Or, Childe struggles to understand why the Tsaritsa insists on treating him differently from the other Harbingers, and tries to pretend like his affiliations aren't irrevocably shifting towards the mysterious god he meets in Liyue.
