Growing Up From Ajax

Tartaglia has fought for so long to protect the childhood imagery within his younger brothers mind, but when all the lies finally make their way to Teucer, that picture of the sweet, perfect and good older brother is destroyed. Tartaglia can only imagine how this has ruined yet another childhood.

He begins to think back on his own childhood - or lack thereof - and comes to realise that Tartaglia, Childe and the Eleventh Fatui Harbinger are completely different people to the child that was Ajax.

Ajax was left in the abyss in order for Tartaglia - the perfect version of himself - to exist, and yet, all Tartaglia can do, is long to switch places with his young self.

Based off @sopsimegistus's AU idea where Childe sings "Running Up That Hill" by Kate Bush.
