"I wonder if I could ever have that... a family. But where do I start, a retired Archon wandering this land alone. How do I live a human life?" Or how Childe helps Zhongli live like a human [FULLY COMPLETE as of 08/04/2021 - Reupload from AO3)

Idol!Childe x Actor!Zhongli Ajax (stage name Tartaglia and fan named Childe) is the youngest member of up and coming Sneznyan Hip-Hop/Rap group The Harbingers (aka the Fatui by fans). The twenty-three year old is a background singer and lead dancer for the group, yet is probably one of the most popular members of the group for his looks alone. Zhongli is a popular movie star, who's reached quite the status already already winning both an Emmy for a television series he was in and several Oscars for recent movies. Not much else is known by the public as he's quite the private person. He's a household name regardless and definitely someone Childe admired for his vast success by age twenty-seven. Recording a new single for an upcoming album, Childe was browsing Twitter when he wasn't needed in the recording room. This was pretty often since he was mostly there for dancing, so he had plenty of time. That's when he found out Zhongli was doing one of his very few meet and greets, in town nonetheless. This was a rare and very lucky occasion, so Childe was pretty quick to get a VIP pass for it. And that night, he set out to meet the star... Inspired by a comic I saw on Twitter (link to the artist and their comic in the first chapter.)

"Among rivers of blood and gradient skies, only your eyes took my breath away." -The words of a man lost to Erosion or After everything, Childe, sick and weak, can't bring himself to care. Zhongli, on the other hand starts to get worried. *the cover art is from @DonaldAkron on twitter :D (only for my friend 'u know who u are': STAY AWAYYYYYY)

A battle in a small town, snowflakes in Shnezhnaya, lonely nights in the barracks, a mentor that the boy without a name doesn't know what to think about.... What happened before Tartaglia aka Childe became one of the Fatui harbingers and came to Liyue? What will the young harbinger do when he leaves the country's borders for the first time? A new land, a new culture, and new acquaintances await.... I WROTE THIS BEFORE A CERTAIN VIDEO. I CAN'T DELETE IT hhh. I guess this WAS my (young handsome) version of Pulcinella. // (ChildexZhongli, but you gonna have to wait for it ^^) (sorry for my english, I translated the story from german xD)

Xingqiu is an idol. He loves singing and dancing, loving making people happy with his music. He likes reading and sometimes practices martial arts. Oh, he's also openly gay. Chongyun lives in a very sheltered household. His parents have his whole life planned out for him and he finds it hard to express his feelings to others. He has two friends named Xiangling and Hu Tao and doesn't really like anything except martial arts and a little music here and there. - Hu Tao finds a song written and sung by Xingqiu and tells Chongyun about it. He immediately falls in love with the song, but with his strict parents, he has to hide it. He looks more into the song and finds that Xingqiu wrote it. Listening to more songs of his, Chongyun quickly finds himself attached. He tells Xiangling and Hu Tao about it, and of course, they do something stupid. They surprise Chongyun with tickets to one of Xingqiu's upcoming concerts. Events happen and the two boys are so obviously in love with each other. What will happen between the two? !DISCLAIMER! I do not own any of the characters or songs in this. The characters are from Genshin Impact/MiHoyo and the songs are written and sung by Chinese/Korean/Japanese/American bands. Tw: abuse, homophobia, gaslighting, angst, slow burn(ish) Be prepared for a whole lot of angst, fluff and gayness. Started: 3/5/2021 Completed: 5/7/2021
