Zhongli was an up and rising detective,he managed to solve many cases as well as several cold cases. There is one case he isn't able to solve yet,the murder of his best friend gui zhong. Through a very chance encounter he meets someone,someone completely opposite of him. Inspired by the iconic line from moriarty the patriot "Catch me if you can Mr Holmes" Art by seofim on twitter

'We are bound to each other by a contract.' Though Teyvat has yet to be but Mondstadht and Liyue, the world is vast. However, what happens to the rest of the world doesn't concern Childe. In his mind, he only cares for battles, wars, and blood. Perhaps the motivation is to protect his family, or, perhaps, the motive is revenge on the creature that lays in the abyss, waiting to strike at any moment. Or perhaps, he wishes to accomplish both and understand the contract set by him and Zhongli years ago despite not remembering the details. Meeting in the rain, the two placed an agreement upon themselves without an idea of how much destruction would take place. 'If either of us broke the rules set in the contract, we shall suffer the Wrath of the Rock.'

In Childe's eyes, Zhongli is perfect. His intelligence, his wording, his ass especially. Constant wet dreams of his sensei cloud his mind, but what if those dreams became a reality? This is a smut book of Zhongli x Childe, this is my first time writing a fan fiction so please be nice! Please leave any suggestions if you have any :3 All characters belong to Mihoyo

With his dying breath, the orange-haired man made his promise. Unfortunately, the memory of it was lost as he was reincarnated in his next life. Zhongli on the other hand had a clear memory of the promise, the contract he was still keeping after all those years. Could Childe remember his past life or would he spend the rest of his life not knowing about it. How much longer does Zhongli need to wait for him.

A battle in a small town, snowflakes in Shnezhnaya, lonely nights in the barracks, a mentor that the boy without a name doesn't know what to think about.... What happened before Tartaglia aka Childe became one of the Fatui harbingers and came to Liyue? What will the young harbinger do when he leaves the country's borders for the first time? A new land, a new culture, and new acquaintances await.... I WROTE THIS BEFORE A CERTAIN VIDEO. I CAN'T DELETE IT hhh. I guess this WAS my (young handsome) version of Pulcinella. // (ChildexZhongli, but you gonna have to wait for it ^^) (sorry for my english, I translated the story from german xD)

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.

"Among rivers of blood and gradient skies, only your eyes took my breath away." -The words of a man lost to Erosion or After everything, Childe, sick and weak, can't bring himself to care. Zhongli, on the other hand starts to get worried. *the cover art is from @DonaldAkron on twitter :D (only for my friend 'u know who u are': STAY AWAYYYYYY)

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!!)

A deadly risky mission, the unbreakable will of a fighter, the plan of a cautious strategist in the background.... What will happen when Childe can't resist proving something to himself and the other Harbingers? Can he recognize the danger he is in? Perhaps victory and honor await, or just the end....

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.
