The Pyro Gnosis has been claimed. With all seven Gnoses in the Tsaritsa's possession, the final fight to free Teyvat from Celestia's reign and the Abyss' terror draws close. Summoned to Snezhnaya to fulfil their roles in the upcoming battle, Childe and Zhongli find themselves travelling aboard the same ship when a storm hits, stranding them in Childe's hometown of Morepesok. Forced into close proximity with both his father and Zhongli, Childe is forced to confront the unresolved tensions in each relationship whilst readying himself for the battle he's spent a lifetime preparing for. Meanwhile, Zhongli must fight to learn how to love the man who seems determined to subdue the feelings lingering between them. Then, just when Zhongli thinks their situation can't become any more complicated, the unveiling of a decade-held secret threatens to steal away the perfect future he's been longing for.

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.

Liyue, la ciudad del comercio y la piedra, gobernada por el poderoso Arconte Geo; Dios de la Guerra, de los contratos, Patrono de la Historia, del Comercio y la Riqueza, el primer Adeptus... Childe respiró hondo, mientras bajaba del barco, dejándose llevar por las voces de los comerciantes y de sus subordinados. Había ido a esa nación para cumplir su objetivo, pero... ✄┈┄┈┄┈┄┈┈┄┈┄┈┄┈┈┄┈┄┈┄┈┈┄┈┄┈ Empezada: 10/8/21 Acabada: 18/8/21 ★A C L A R A C I O N E S★ -Los personajes pertenecen a Mihoyo. -No adaptaciones. -Faltas de ortografía (las menos posibles). -NO usar términos del yaoi.

Childe casi escupió la bebida al escuchar su respuesta, Zhongli lo observó confuso. -No has... ¿eres virgen? -consiguió decir mientras tosía, mirando atónito al ex arconte, quien asintió con la cabeza. Una sonrisa se formó en los labios del pelirrojo-. ¿Quieres que te enseñe un par de cosas? Zhongli entendió el tono de la pregunta. -Está bien. ✄┈┄┈┄┈┄┈┈┄┈┄┈┄┈┈┄┈┄┈┄┈┈┄┈┄┈ Empezada: 9/9/21 Acabada: 16/9/21 Editada: 18/10/22- 21/10/22 ★A C L A R A C I O N E S★ -Los personajes pertenecen a Mihoyo. -No adaptaciones. -Faltas de ortografía (las menos posibles). -NO usar términos del yaoi.

Tartaglia has long since accepted it: his presence shall always be viewed as an inconvenience, something to be tolerated in return for his usefulness. And he doesn't care; he is strong, capable of felling entire territories with his might alone. He doesn't need anybody else. And he definitely doesn't need to be wanted in return. Aka three times where Childe doesn't hear the words "I want you", plus the one time that he does.

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.

Tras una dolorosa tragedia, la soledad pesaba con la fuerza de mil montañas sobre los viejos hombros de Zhongli. En uno de sus tantos paseos por las playas de las costas de Liyue, se detuvo un momento a contemplar una brillante caracola estelar entre la arena.
