Following a malfunction during one of Dottore's experiments, Childe is lost to the Abyss for a week. Summoned to Snezhnaya to assist, Zhongli meets a darker and more tormented Childe than the one who left Liyue only weeks prior, and thus begins his journey to help return Childe to his prior self. Unless, of course, the version of Childe that Zhongli once knew has already been lost to the Abyss' call... Note: This fic's dynamic is Zhongchili, not to be confused with Zhongchi, meaning Zhongli and Childe are top/bot versatile.

A Kaebedo AU where Kaeya is a daycare worker and Albedo brings his daughter Klee to that daycare. Mentions of some side Xiaovenluc, Zhongzu, Rannett and Xingyun. I will be using my own pronoun headcanons for characters in this story. Any new characters added will have their pronouns added at the beginning of the chapter so no confusion is caused.

"Thank you, beautiful. Hm, why don't I take you out tonight? I'm sure you're not busy." The man who owns a coffee shop, coming to it one day for his usual caramel latte, but soon the reason changes when he meets the new part timer. "Just take your order and leave, Alberich." The man behind the counter who works there everyday as a part time job, a college student who at first is annoyed by a certain customer's flirting, but soon finds it a daily thing that he doesn't mind. How will this end, I wonder? [On hiatus/more that likely dropped for now]

ship: kaebedo (kaeya alberich and albedo) fandom: genshin impact based on a tiktok by @ / these_violentdelights a little ooc sorry abt that albedo never turned away from the roses, rubbing his fingers on the petals and staining his fingertips a shade of red. "the rose you gave me. it represents the passion between two lovers, yes?" albedo questioned, turning to kaeya to watch him hesitantly nod. "it appears that my experiment has failed, then". ... what? albedo continued to watch him, beautiful cyan eyes watching as his once-hopeful smile dropped into slight disbelief. "oh, so you were not aware? let me explain. i decided to conduct an experiment a few days ago, but i needed a test subject, so to speak. i saw you and asked you out. our evening together was not boring or uneventful, it was actually quite enjoyable. but i failed to feel that spark that others described when they were with their lovers." albedo explained. "you see, you, kaeya alberich, were but an experiment i conducted to see if i could feel an emotion such as 'love'..." "...and you failed".

Childe knew what he had to do.. he just didn't want to do it. He hated the thought of hurting him. "Maybe there's a way around it" Childe would tell himself. He knew there wasn't, though. He had orders to follow. He knew if he didn't follow those orders, that he would pay for it later on. There was no escape. At least that's what he thought.. until... Status: Ended
