Secure. Contain. Protect. These are the words Zhongli lives by, working his way up the ranks of the SCP Foundation-an organisation dedicated to protecting humanity against anomalous threats. Now a respected researcher, he has spent the past two months as a consultant in Sumeru. His time on his current case at its end, the details of his next assignment arrive: he will relocate to Snezhnaya to assist with the initial analysis of a freshly contained SCP-a creature infused with forbidden energy and an insatiable drive to fight any who dare enter its containment cell. For a man who has built his career on the principle of protecting humanity, his new assignment will test his resolve as he discovers that there is humanity even in the most monstrous of appearances, and a little monster hidden in the places least expected.

Childe takes pride in himself - why shouldn't he? He'd gotten into the highest-ranked university in all of Teyvat on a scholarship that covered half the tuition, and he was already working to pay the other half off. Sure, his days were stressful, what with the endless lectures, hours of assignments, and tiring shifts at the café he worked in, but seeing that amber-eyed man, even if it was only once a day, made it all worth it. That is, until that certain man has an unspeakable accident, and suddenly, Childe finds himself being thrust into a situation he never thought he'd be in.

Golden trees under a warm sun, feelings that hurt, a divine beauty to whom the young Harbinger has lost his heart... What happens when Childe goes back to Liyue to finally see his beloved Zhongli again? What if his loved one doesn't feel the same way about him after all? A reunion, old acquaintances and new problems are waiting... (Sequel of my fanfic The birth of a hero, ChildexZhongli) // I WROTE THIS BEFORE A CERTAIN VIDEO. I CAN'T DELETE IT hhh. I guess this WAS my (young handsome) version of Pulcinella. //

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.

"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's been obsessed with Zhongli for some time. He even joined the enemy just to get enough information on him to get close. He'd been following him for days. Getting as much information as he could. But, even that wasn't enough. Nothing could've prepared him for this...

After many unsuccessful attempts of making a single prince fall in love with him, Zhongli, decided to give up as he sees his other fellows get together with princesses and princes. Not only does he feel lonely, he feels miserable by the fact that his appearance probably scares the other princes, or they just don't turn out to be gay. Until his fellow told him that there was a land that was known for sacrificing their own children for dragons. He did saw some person on the forest as he was about to make his way, he stopped to check. That was when he finally had met the right choice. -RANKINGS!!: : #3 in raidenei in 10/28/22 : #3 in royaltyau in 1/19/23 : #2 in royaltyau in 1/26/23 : #1 in royaltyau in 2/5/23 : #24 in dragons in 2/5/23 : #12 in xiaoven in 9/25/23 : #2 in zhongli in 12/25/23 : #4 in xiaoven in 12/26/23 - ••• - • Started in: Feb 24, 2022 (Restarted or it continued again at: October 14, 2022) • Ended in: ___ (SLOW UPDATES!!)

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
