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.

TW: smut, indications that sex happened, SA, mentions of r@pe, self-harm, and use of the f-slur, if you don't want to read any of this, please don't read my fanfiction. Tartaglia had never been one for romance stories, he'd never imagined he'd find love with someone as out of the ordinary as ex-archon, Zhongli. He certainly never thought that love could be this difficult, it had never been this way in previous relationships, so what was going on with this one? He never knew that love could be so complicated, he grew up with the perfect model of a happily married couple, his parents never fought, so he just couldn't quite figure out why he and Zhongli had trouble not fighting. But even so, he still loved Zhongli with his whole heart, even though he claimed to hate him at times. ⚠️I don't own the cover art!! I tried looking for credit but I found it on google and I couldn't find the credit anywhere, if you know who drew it, please tell me so I can give proper credit!⚠️
