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!

Secure. Contain. Protect. These are the words Zhongli lives by, working his way up the ranks of the SCP Foundation-an organisation dedicated to protecting humanity against anomalous threats. Now a respected researcher, he has spent the past two months as a consultant in Sumeru. His time on his current case at its end, the details of his next assignment arrive: he will relocate to Snezhnaya to assist with the initial analysis of a freshly contained SCP-a creature infused with forbidden energy and an insatiable drive to fight any who dare enter its containment cell. For a man who has built his career on the principle of protecting humanity, his new assignment will test his resolve as he discovers that there is humanity even in the most monstrous of appearances, and a little monster hidden in the places least expected.

So, you wanna read a simple, sweet Zhongchi fic, but everything involving zhongli and childe is just pure angst or straight up smut. It seems we have that in common. This is why I have decided to take the liberty of creating my own fic (But I don't have a plot so instead I made oneshots even though I hate oneshots ). Some side ships might be involved + You may make requests.
