10/02/2024 - MAJOR EDITS DONE - Guizhong's adeptus form has been changed, previous chapters affected include Chapters 20 and 22 It takes a lot to catch Tartaglia, 11th of the Fatui Harbingers, off guard. Between surviving three months with the monsters of the Abyss at age fourteen, fighting his way up from square one through the ranks of the Fatui to his current position, and maintaining his façade as "The Greatest Toy Salesman in Snezhnaya" in the eyes of his youngest and most mischievous brother; yes, it would take a lot to find him in a truly tight spot. Waking up in a body that existed nearly 3,700 years ago in the land that had yet to become Liyue? That would be disorienting even for a god. And speaking of gods, the only person he can turn to happens to be one. Here's hoping that the younger Zhongli is as friendly as the one Childe has grown close to. Arc 1: Dreams, Incense, and the Gods (Ch. 1-13) Arc 2: Secrets Beneath the Clouds (Ch. 14-23) Arc 3: Unearthed Truths (Ch. 24-32) Arc 4: Days of Gold (33-39) Arc 5: When the Dust Settles (40-???) Cross posted here from ao3. I'm curious to see how the communities differ. Written/planned prior to 3.4 ⭐️ I am the artist who drew the cover art ⭐️

Hello. I will occasionally edit existing chapters and I do not have an upload schedule. I do have a lot of drafts so theres that but I will also sometimes have big gaps between chapters basically I will literally be wiped off the earth for like a month or 2 then i'll upload suddenly.

//Completed For an untold number of millennia, mortals have always had a habit of pleading to deities for many things. But Childe, whose only experience with close embrace was in the heat of battle, did not know that a deity would one day plead for him. Art is not mine! Credit goes to @GameMatari on Twitter!

Time... It was scarce, unstoppable and valuable. A broken hourglass... The perfect way to describe their love. ***Art used for front cover belongs to its rightful owner: @rinhar016 ***

It's been a few weeks since Childe has 'completed' his mission, and yet, he can't convince himself to leave just yet, especially since the Tsaritsa hasn't called him back to Snezhnaya, so he remains in Liyue. He remains in Liyue, where he has friends and coworkers, and most importantly, Zhongli. That is, until it all comes crashing down. Credit to @esqurell on twitter for the cover page

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

Emperor of Liyue, Rex Lapis, is offered a concubine he bestows the royal name of Ajax. However, little does he know Ajax is a spy sent by the Fatui to assassinate him.

"Y-you kill people for a living?" Zhongli nodded "Not just people, criminals." Childe looked at him in fear and confusion, how could the principal of his school and his childhood crush just kill people like that?

Childe is a waiter at one of the most famous chain restaurants in all of Teyvat, Zhongli is practically the crownless king of Liyue. Two people who live in totally different worlds, but still create a friendship, how far can this bond go? ✄┈┄┈┄┈┄┈┈┄┈┄┈┄┈┈┄┈┄┈┄┈┈┄┈┄┈ Started: 10/14/21 Finished: 10/24/21 #5 genshinimpact [10/24/21] ★ Clarifications ★ -Modern AU -The characters belong to Mihoyo. -No adaptations. -Spelling mistakes. -Englis it's not my first language. -This is a translation of my own story. -References to Monoceros Caeli Shipps in the story (actively or mention only): -Zhongli x Childe (obviously) -Xiao x Venti (actively) -Beidou x Ningguang (hint) -Kaeya x Albedo (actively) Content that may be sensitive to some people: Alcohol, bullying, major character dead, references to depression, minor character dead, eating dissorder (?, dissociation (?, bad relationship with family.
