Harbingers : cursed souls that roam the earth as punishment for their evil deeds in the past, forced to live a life of misery and immortality where everything they touch crumbles to nothing. The only way they can achieve peace is if they make a human fall in love with them but it's never easy, the game is rigged and they are fated to spend the eternity alone.


Childe has been a Harbinger for 3,000 years. He was losing hope in ending his curse until he ran into her. Just as his world was bleeding out its colours, she walks in to paint it anew.

Will the weight of loneliness they both feel break down the wall they had erected between them? 3. The richest person on the entire continent. A special day kept secret. A family sadly far away. Childe had done everything possible to remain undisturbed, yet someone would come along and break him out of the solitude he had planned to lock himself in. 4. As Childe is pulled by Lumine in the direction of a huge building he knows well on their date, he begins to wonder what surprise might be waiting for him inside... 5. While Lumine went on a quest for the Knights of Favonius in Kaeya's presence, Childe gets jealous and cancels their date to watch the fireworks. Seeking solitude to take her mind off things, Lumine heads to the beach, so what a surprise when she sees him sitting in the exact spot where her feet took her... 6. ZELDA BOTW AU || TWO CHAPTERS || How does it feel to have a shadow following us at all times? Princess Lumine finds out after her father, the king, assigns her a knight named Childe.

For Childe, the only thing more difficult than completing a mission in a nation where he's hated, is completing a mission in a nation where he's being threatened with imminent deportation. Out of alternatives and with failure not an option, the only way he can hope to remain in Liyue is by entering a relationship with one of its' residents. He can think of only one person eccentric enough to go along with such a suggestion. OR: The inherent awkwardness of undertaking a secret mission while falling in love with the guy you're fake dating for your residency permit. Cover art commissioned from 1ss1k1_gn on Twitter!
