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.

𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐂!𝐀𝐔 « 𝗜𝗡 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗖𝗛 she is the princess, and Dainsleif her knight, both bound by a love doomed from the beginning. » For one, love is liberating; for the other, it is but another form of shackles. It is said that fate is already woven for one who is born into a role, but are these roles what must define the path we take? From the top of her palace, she yearns to understand the world beyond its walls. He is but an anchor in the passing sea of time; frozen in the past, stilted from the future. He has learnt well not to covet what he does not deserve-until her glow traces itself upon his very soul. However, when one allows duty to entangle with love, a difficult choice is thrust upon them; Would it be well to love, or well to serve? They think, perhaps-"If I had stopped her," "If I had listened to him..." "𝘞𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵?" But the answer to this neither of their hearts know, nor could they bear the pain to do so. And so they live another day gazing at the same starlit sky, pondering on this agonizing question with regret in their souls; a question which they receive no answer to. 》☾⋆* 。⋆ * • ・゚ . ⋆ *・゚: • *・゚ : * ⋆. * ・゚ * .*: ・. 。 * ⋆《 started: 14 Jan 2025 ended: --/--/---- slow-burn romance, heavy angst.

❝ FLECTERE SI NEQUEO SUPEROS, ACHERONTA MOVEBO ❞ (completed) Scappino, the Escapist. The faithful servant of their master. You once stood beside The Tsaritsa as her servant, a member of the Harbingers. But as fate would have it, you wouldn't maintain that position for long. You were never meant to achieve this; never meant to be the Twelfth. So instead you ran away, casting a veil over the bloody life you once had. Why serve the God who killed your reasons to live? tartaglia / childe x gn! reader all characters belong to hoyoverse © ; huawyn (ying) 010821 - 052222
