Following a malfunction during one of Dottore's experiments, Childe is lost to the Abyss for a week.

Summoned to Snezhnaya to assist, Zhongli meets a darker and more tormented Childe than the one who left Liyue only weeks prior, and thus begins his journey to help return Childe to his prior self. Unless, of course, the version of Childe that Zhongli once knew has already been lost to the Abyss' call...

Note: This fic's dynamic is Zhongchili, not to be confused with Zhongchi, meaning  Zhongli and Childe are top/bot versatile.

The art used on the cover was commissioned by me from 1rinchii on Twitter - please do not use / post elsewhere!

A Harbinger's Bucket List [ZhongChi/TartaLi]

6 parts Complete

Childe is returning to Liyue and Zhongli has something important to ask him. However, when a rather cheerful, but very much dead Childe shows up in Zhongli's living room, plans have to be placed aside. When the pair turn to Hu Tao for advice, she suggests that in order for Childe to pass onto the next realm, he must first let go of all unfinished business tying him to the mortal realm. Of course, this is easier said than done when a stubborn Harbinger insists he is perfectly at peace with the life he has led. And so Zhongli and Childe find themselves on a journey across Childe's homeland to complete the Harbinger's Bucket List, and discover his final regret together.
