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.

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

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.

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.

No doubt, Tartaglia, or also known by his stage name 'Childe', has a crush on his favorite idol: Zhongli: a famous model, actor and absolute jaw-dropper. But when Childe gets the opportunity to be the co-star in a movie with Zhongli, Childe couldn't be any more excited ! However, things get a little surprising when he finds himself in Zhongli's bed faster than the movie set . . Stay true to the cameras or to yourself? Can Zhongli get what he wants ? All his life, the ones around him created the path he walked on; friends and family don't exist in this nerve-destroying industry, and becoming numb to the loneliness he feels has become the norm for him. But when a mysterious and handsome actor from Russia comes along, what just will happen to that stoically calm expression Zhongli was just so good at making before ? •'¯'•. . .•'¯'• [ A/N : REWRITTEN ] [ characters + art I used to make the cover + inside the book do not belong to me.

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.

Childe is returning to Liyue and Zhongli has something important to ask him. However, when a rather cheerful, but very much dead Childe shows up in Zhongli's living room, plans have to be placed aside. When the pair turn to Hu Tao for advice, she suggests that in order for Childe to pass onto the next realm, he must first let go of all unfinished business tying him to the mortal realm. Of course, this is easier said than done when a stubborn Harbinger insists he is perfectly at peace with the life he has led. And so Zhongli and Childe find themselves on a journey across Childe's homeland to complete the Harbinger's Bucket List, and discover his final regret together.

"I wonder if I could ever have that... a family. But where do I start, a retired Archon wandering this land alone. How do I live a human life?" Or how Childe helps Zhongli live like a human [FULLY COMPLETE as of 08/04/2021 - Reupload from AO3)

Childe being the prince of Snezhnaya, was at the age to marry. He had to find a partner as soon as possible for it's forbidden for a King to possibly rule alone. So, he had to pick a fair woman to become his bride and rule by his side. Or so the prince thought-In the end, he was forced to get married by the Prince of Liyue who has an infamous name in Snezhnaya and probably even the whole of Teyvat. With negative thoughts in his head about a forced wedding and most of all marrying a man, he rejects the prince's love, only to find himself constantly having moments with the prince making his disliking towards him slowly shift into love. ( Author's note: I am actually not super deep within the game Genshin Impact and not so familiar with some of the places. So If I get the name of a place wrong or the characters I am dearly sorry. But I love this ship in Genshin and I really wanted to write about it... So... Here it is. ) *I don't own these characters *Cover art isn't mine

Xiao is certain his life is a joke at this point. He's seen a lot of things in his life, but this takes the cake. Zhongli will be the death of him. In other words, Zhongli kidnapped Childe and now the Fatui think he's dead. At least Aether is there to suffer with him. Someone has to keep these idiots in line.
