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.)

Look Me in the Eyes (and tell me that it's me) [Zhongchili] by xTeaAndSconesx
41 parts Complete Mature
Final year university student Ajax dreads graduating. A lifetime of sitting in a shitty office at a shitty computer, making shitty cups of tea for his shitty coworkers is his last idea of fun. But when he (quite literally) runs into the mysterious, handsome Zhongli who-lucky him-agrees to a date, he's gifted a Vision-an ancient artifact from an era long since passed. With the Vision in his possession, he begins to recover memories of a past life of exhilarating battles and heroic deeds, propelling him into a lifestyle of delivering justice to Snezhnaya's streets, slamming down would-be criminals with a well-placed fist to the face. However, when these memories begin to take a darker turn, Ajax starts to question who he really was, and what these memories mean for who he is today.

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
