Long ago, disaster struck Teyvat. The Abyss unleashed a devastating war on the Seven Nations, one that threatened to end the reign of humanity...and the divine. In an effort to protect their people, the gods signed a contract, one that would join the Seven Nations together into one single nation, Teyvat. They hoped that as one, unified country, Teyvat stood a better chance against the Abyss. However, as decades passed, the true meaning of the contract was forgotten. Systems were corrupted, and tyrants exploited the circumstances to abuse their power. Now rife with fear and cruelty, this is the world that the orphaned Lumine must navigate through. 

Another Genshin Impact fanfiction, only this one is a little different. Despite the title, this is not a Zhongli ship story. No Chili, Zhonglumi, Zhongguang, or any others...unless I decide to add that in later in the writing process. We'll see. If you know anything about me, you know that the main ship is Chilumi, because...yeah there is literally no valid reason I'm just obsessed, but I've found a pretty interesting way to integrate Childe into the story, so hopefully it won't be too redundant after my previous fic XD 

Cover art by yours truly :)

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.

To survive treasure hoarders' imprisonment is no easy task. Not when you lost your family and have been treated like a piece of trash for around 6 years. Even so, Charlotte never lost hope. Finally, an opportunity came and she used it to break free. But the cost of freedom is far greater than she has imagined. It's only thanks to 11th Harbinger, who turned out to be her childhood friend, that she is safe and sound. Although, the shy and doubtful boy Ajax used to be was now replaced with a merciless weapon of war who seeks to fight everything that moves... What happened? Girl can only wonder... To keep herself and his reputation safe, Charlotte is forced to join the Fatui, become a Harbinger herself and face even greater challenges. After all, it's not easy to be a loyal Harbinger when you are a softie. Not to mention - when you also start having feelings to your childhood friend. Hellooo! This is my first ever book, a OC x Childe fanfiction I'm writing to pass time! I hope you enjoy! Note that Genshin Impact original story is still ongoing, which means that the content in this fanfiction won't particulary make sense in future. Also, some parts of the story are my own personal headcanons/theories. Comments and opinions are always welcome. Thank you! WARNINGS (please read): - This may contain SPOILERS from original Genshin Impact storyline. - I DO NOT own most characters, except for Charlotte and her family. - I DO NOT own whale's constellation picture in the cover. - Contains sensitive topics (angst, death, blood, smut (maybe, not sure yet)) - Will be posting when i feel like it. Mostly every 2-3 days, probably
