Liyue was... interesting, to say the least. Its harbor, to which Childe was set to on yet another glorious (utterly ridiculous) mission by Her Majesty, the Tsaritsa, was too hot, too crowded for Childe's liking. And yet, there was something about it that made him want to stay. Perhaps it was the way the breeze faintly smelled of the ocean and fish, the way Morepesok did, or maybe it was because Liyue Harbor was simply so alive. Or maybe, just maybe, it was because those amber eyes were far too enticing to leave behind, even if they were the eyes of his enemy.

Kuroda Akira had always lived like an ordinary salaryman, working hard, slaving away in his corporate life. However, this was far from what he actually wanted! He was super tired with his life in the corporate area... he loved manga, cooking and cafés . He had always desired the life of a cafe owner and manager, where he could be his own boss and make other people happy. "Isekai... huh.. stories where protagonist gets sucked into some other world... sounds fun! minus killing and violence... I would rather open a café there." But it was all but a far away dream! drowsiness from the work finally started to kick in and soon everything around him dissolved into darkness. when he came to be, he was in a typical manga villainess trope like situation! "...As the crown prince of the Croyan kingdom, I hereby annul our engagement". I am going to be disowned anyway... let's pack our bags and leave! If this is all real, I definitely want to follow my dreams atleast this time in my life. Omg I can't believe this:- [April, 11 2022: #2 in text-to-speech] [July 8, 2022: #1 in kuudere] [the Artwork is not mine... all credits to the original artists, the writing part is original in all aspects tho :3]

Fighting off hoards of enemies in the Spiral Abyss, Tartaglia is forced to confront his nightmares of old, and if he wasn't so acutely aware of what got him into the situation in the first place, he would think that Celestia was actively fucking with him. At least his friends would support him... or would they run away at the revelation of his Foul Legacy? Just a small thing for myself, Tartaglia is my little baby and I think a lot of people overlook his suffering. Typical "Watch past of XXX character" except past is kinda made up because Genshin has provided bare-bones details. Crossposted on Ao3

Childe, Tartaglia, Ajax... The man of many names but who is he really.. Many know him as a bloodthirsty Harbinger, a guy that enjoys fighting even if it means to the point of death...but is there more to that...? What dark secrets are lying behind those lifeless eyes...just what happened to him..? Is it true that under that whole facade sits a helpless kid, crying and screaming for a savior. A kid who was forced to face the dark and cruel reality of this world too soon... This is the story of a innocent small boy that was forced to grow up too fast in a cruel world. Or the fic where I make people react to childes past cause no one else will and his backstory is underrated as hell and should be heavily noticed Cross Posted on ao3: theugliestsquid
