Childe, Tartaglia, Ajax... The man of many names but who is he really..
Many know him as a bloodthirsty Harbinger, a guy that enjoys fighting even if it means to the point of death...but is there more to that...?
What dark secrets are lying behind those lifeless eyes...just what happened to him..?
Is it true that under that whole facade sits a helpless kid, crying and screaming for a savior. A kid who was forced to face the dark and cruel reality of this world too soon...
This is the story of a innocent small boy that was forced to grow up too fast in a cruel world.
Or the fic where I make people react to childes past cause no one else will and his backstory is underrated as hell and should be heavily noticed

It's been a few weeks since Childe has 'completed' his mission, and yet, he can't convince himself to leave just yet, especially since the Tsaritsa hasn't called him back to Snezhnaya, so he remains in Liyue. He remains in Liyue, where he has friends and coworkers, and most importantly, Zhongli. That is, until it all comes crashing down.

Can't Stop Loving You | Childe x Zhongli | Genshin Impact [COMPLETED]
After the resurrection and defeat of Osial, things became much busier for Childe. He had no time for himself until he met a certain brunette again. ❝ Childe found himself being held by Zhongli, like those cliche scenes from romance books. He had never imagined himself in such a situation, especially not as the one that was just 'rescued'.❞ A Genshin Impact Childe X Zhongli fanfiction slotted in between the end of Liyue's arc and before Childe's story quest. Contains spoilers of the main story, as well as dark themes such as angst and death. Entered to wattys 2021 :3 ⚠️I DO NOT OWN THE ART ON THE BOOK COVER!⚠️ If you are the artist and wants it taken down, please message me! Made by Pixiv ID 66284136. I do not own the Genshin characters, but I do own the plot itself. I hope you enjoy! Don't forget to vote and comment if you enjoy it :)))). Will edit when i feel like it lol.Complete
Behind the career || Stripper Au
Zhongli a poor man trying everything he can to pay for college, he does the craziest jobs you might think of. But the worst he has might have been working at a stripping bar, lucky it isn't prostitution. Zhongli knew how dangerous those jobs could be, which is why he intends to find a partner as fast as he can, so he can use the "I've got a boyfriend!" Excuse against drunkards. though it's quite the challenge as there aren't a lot of gay people at his college. But his charm may do the work for him this time. Ajax or Childe, you guessed it a rich kid from Snezhnaya had just moved to Liyue only to go to college. He was a model but when he moved to Liyue he quit and decided to start working with something easier to do from a distance. he didn't understand why his mother wanted him to go to college this badly, but anything for his family he has 3 siblings. And after being in Liyue for 2 seconds he already misses them. This guy is quite weird he is super comfortable with his sexuality and absolutely loves doing exotic things that people dare him to do. That's why his best bro is Kaeya. -modern au (gods do not exist here, but the nations do) -mentions of sexual stuff but no sexual stuff -no clue who the artist for the cover is so if you know I appreciate you telling me -other ships may be mentioned -this is a ChiLi/zhongchi fic so don't come at meComplete
Whale and Dragonfly // OC x Childe Genshin Impact fanfiction
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!

Look Me in the Eyes (and tell me that it's me) [Zhongchili]
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.

Not so lifeless anymore, eh?
emotionless Tartaglia x Zhongli who tries to help him express himself and get a life. Or, Tartaglia has been weighed down from the past since the beginning, Zhongli has to teach him how to feel again (and get a life!!). Also, a heads up, Childe isn't mute in this story. He just doesn't talk like that one quiet kid- There are spoilers in this fanfic btw. More specifically, the archon quest in Liyue.

EN | An encounter she will never forget | ᴄʜɪʟᴜᴍɪ
Tears flow without her being able to hold them back. She shouldn't have grown attached. This, she only discovered until it was too late. Now that the bonds are firmly in place, will she have the will to break them with her own hands? They say ignorance is bliss, but can one still be happy after realizing that this man she is infatuated with is her enemy without any free will? After realizing that he is just a fragile mortal while she travels through the eons? After realizing that no matter what happens, there will always be an excruciating end to this relationship? Mortals are selfish, as Childe has proven to her so many times. But do near-gods have the right to be as well? Lumine has never wanted to answer this question so much in her life, and it is finally Childe who gives her the much desired answer. "I will prove to you that even you have the right to happiness."
