'We are bound to each other by a contract.' Though Teyvat has yet to be but Mondstadht and Liyue, the world is vast. However, what happens to the rest of the world doesn't concern Childe. In his mind, he only cares for battles, wars, and blood. Perhaps the motivation is to protect his family, or, perhaps, the motive is revenge on the creature that lays in the abyss, waiting to strike at any moment. Or perhaps, he wishes to accomplish both and understand the contract set by him and Zhongli years ago despite not remembering the details. Meeting in the rain, the two placed an agreement upon themselves without an idea of how much destruction would take place. 'If either of us broke the rules set in the contract, we shall suffer the Wrath of the Rock.'

After the resurrection and defeat of Osial, things became much busier for Childe. He had no time for himself until he met a certain brunette again. ❝ Childe found himself being held by Zhongli, like those cliche scenes from romance books. He had never imagined himself in such a situation, especially not as the one that was just 'rescued'.❞ A Genshin Impact Childe X Zhongli fanfiction slotted in between the end of Liyue's arc and before Childe's story quest. Contains spoilers of the main story, as well as dark themes such as angst and death.

~Dragonspine forgives no one and the winds are cold, like the cryo archon's wrath~ Ever since hearing Kaeya's voice line for Albedo I know I had to make something. I think the concept of Kheanriah is really interesting so heads-up (There might be spoilers for Albedo and Kaeya's story!) I don't see that much content for these two so this is purely self-indulgent.
