TW: smut, indications that sex happened, SA, mentions of r@pe, self-harm, and use of the f-slur, if you don't want to read any of this, please don't read my fanfiction. Tartaglia had never been one for romance stories, he'd never imagined he'd find love with someone as out of the ordinary as ex-archon, Zhongli. He certainly never thought that love could be this difficult, it had never been this way in previous relationships, so what was going on with this one? He never knew that love could be so complicated, he grew up with the perfect model of a happily married couple, his parents never fought, so he just couldn't quite figure out why he and Zhongli had trouble not fighting. But even so, he still loved Zhongli with his whole heart, even though he claimed to hate him at times. ⚠️I don't own the cover art!! I tried looking for credit but I found it on google and I couldn't find the credit anywhere, if you know who drew it, please tell me so I can give proper credit!⚠️

"I love you." "You can't." Zhongli x Childe , Xiao x Aether, Scaramouche x Mona , Xingqiu x Chongyun , Beidou x Ningguang Please do not hate on any ships included in the fanfiction, they are purely my opinion. TW: This fanfiction contains violence and depictions of mature topics. I DO NOT OWN ANY DISPLAYED ARTWORK OR CHARACTERS UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED. ALL ART BELONGS TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNERS.

Stories I've thought of thanks to twitter feeding me on a daily basis for inspo. Some of these are from my twitter threads that I decided to revise for a better story. This is basically self indulgent stories. Majority are angst, do keep that in mind lol :b No, this is different from my published fanfics of different AUs. I guess these are AUs I can't put a proper label on? 🤔

If you're looking for Top Childe, you're in the wrong book. This may suggest some of it, but he's just a power bottom. Zhongli is the top here and sometimes a switch. But I'll most likely never write that.

Mithridatism, or the act of poisoning oneself in gradually increasing increments, is all in a day's work for a Fatui Harbinger. When Childe takes just a little more than he's supposed to, however, things don't go so well. But when he gets out of this, his immunity to the poisons will be stronger than ever, so it can't be that bad. And at least Zhongli's here to take care of him through it all.

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.

Childe fell in love with a professor at his university and decided to get a minor in geology just to experience his classes even though it's completely unrelated to his major...but how will he confess his feelings when graduation comes?

Zhongli is perfect. Their relationship is perfect. He is everything Childe could wish for. Then Zhongli starts to forget - memories, experiences, history - leaving Childe in a race against time to save him from a fate worse than death. Cover commissioned from aribiaobi on Twitter!

As Childe and Zhongli started hanging out more, rumours began to spread that the two were dating. Everybody would start to come up to the two and ask them if they were together, but throughout all of the questioning..Childe wondered who on Teyvat started these rumours. Throughout the investigation, something begins to happen between the two men...But with all the rumours, will they truly be able to keep their secret for long?

So, you wanna read a simple, sweet Zhongchi fic, but everything involving zhongli and childe is just pure angst or straight up smut. It seems we have that in common. This is why I have decided to take the liberty of creating my own fic (But I don't have a plot so instead I made oneshots even though I hate oneshots ). Some side ships might be involved + You may make requests.
