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.

Liyue, a world-famous company for android models, releases the latest model: Geo Series. Childe can't help himself after a bad breakup and buys the Morax Version 3. Customizable with additional personality traits...he shuffles them without really thinking and forgets all about his purchase until a huge package comes in the mail.

Childe knew what he had to do.. he just didn't want to do it. He hated the thought of hurting him. "Maybe there's a way around it" Childe would tell himself. He knew there wasn't, though. He had orders to follow. He knew if he didn't follow those orders, that he would pay for it later on. There was no escape. At least that's what he thought.. until... Status: Ended

'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.'

Credit for story cover art: R3lative_D3lay on Reddit This is my first attempt at writing in Wattpad. I decided to weave a fanfic tale of the origins of how Childe, Tartaglia, the 11th Harbinger of the violent diplomatic organisation, the Fatui, fell for the God of Contracts, Geo Archon of Liyue known as Zhongli; as of his manifestation in human form. I will develop this romance until I see fit that it should end. Until then, I hope you enjoy and look forward to hearing your feedback 🙏 Caution: Story spoilers for Genshin ahead.

"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.

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.

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.

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

Idol!Childe x Actor!Zhongli Ajax (stage name Tartaglia and fan named Childe) is the youngest member of up and coming Sneznyan Hip-Hop/Rap group The Harbingers (aka the Fatui by fans). The twenty-three year old is a background singer and lead dancer for the group, yet is probably one of the most popular members of the group for his looks alone. Zhongli is a popular movie star, who's reached quite the status already already winning both an Emmy for a television series he was in and several Oscars for recent movies. Not much else is known by the public as he's quite the private person. He's a household name regardless and definitely someone Childe admired for his vast success by age twenty-seven. Recording a new single for an upcoming album, Childe was browsing Twitter when he wasn't needed in the recording room. This was pretty often since he was mostly there for dancing, so he had plenty of time. That's when he found out Zhongli was doing one of his very few meet and greets, in town nonetheless. This was a rare and very lucky occasion, so Childe was pretty quick to get a VIP pass for it. And that night, he set out to meet the star... Inspired by a comic I saw on Twitter (link to the artist and their comic in the first chapter.)
