"You know what? You remind me of a noctilucous jade, a rare mineral that glimmers in the dark.
No matter how deep it may fall into the abyss, it will always find a way to shine."
Childe was supposed to defeat Liyue. Zhongli was supposed to watch out for the Fatui. Their plans were simple, yet neither were able to fulfill them. It took Childe three and a half months to feel at home on the other side of the ocean, and five minutes to be kicked out of a place he had unexpectedly grown fond of. Before returning to Snezhnaya, probably forever, he is offered one last chance to reconnect with Zhongli, who secretly took the boat with him.
The choice he must make is not a simple one: ally with Zhongli and Venti or risk his own life alone.

"What do you think you're doing?" his breath hitches, he's struggling when there's so much going on, our scents, his breath on my face, my hands on the knife he's holding. "Getting to know your body language, getting to know you. Getting to know why you hate me so much." I mutter. He doesn't know what to say about this, the grip to his knife is faltering, I'm getting to him.
Because unfortunately for Mr Zhongli.
I've longed for him too long to let him slip away so easily.

Tartaglia is a farm boy who lives in a village not too far away from Liyue city. Each day he climbs the highest mountain and wishes that one day he will be able to go to the city of Lights. Tormented by his ancestors stories of great conflict involving the dragon archons and the Great War that broke between the humans and the dragons. Tartaglia faces a challenge when he encounters Zhongli, a descent of the dragons. If he's caught with Zhongli, Zhongli will get executed. But when things go terribly wrong, Zhongli disappears from his life like thin air. In the future he wishes to search for Zhongli, but in doing so, he decides to settle in Liyue city in hopes of starting a new life, the only problem is that his village life is nothing compared to his city life. And the mafia is definitely not helping.
Despite everything.
He will keep his promise.
And find Zhongli...but maybe Zhongli has changed too, just as the city has.
