When Snezhnaya's newest exchange student, Childe, transfers to Liyue High, he expects challenge, competition, and maybe a little chaos-never the quiet pull he feels toward Zhongli, the composed senior who seems carved from calm itself.
What begins as playful banter and late study sessions turns into something softer, something both of them struggle to name. But pride, misunderstanding, and the noise of a school that never stops buzzing soon put cracks in what they've built.
As festivals fade, seasons shift, and snow falls over the harbor, Childe and Zhongli have to learn that some distances aren't meant to last forever-and that sometimes, even the coldest hearts can find warmth in lanternlight.

Seven Months in Heaven [Zhongchi/Tartali]
For Childe, the only thing more difficult than completing a mission in a nation where he's hated, is completing a mission in a nation where he's being threatened with imminent deportation. Out of alternatives and with failure not an option, the only way he can hope to remain in Liyue is by entering a relationship with one of its' residents. He can think of only one person eccentric enough to go along with such a suggestion. OR: The inherent awkwardness of undertaking a secret mission while falling in love with the guy you're fake dating for your residency permit. Cover art commissioned from 1ss1k1_gn on Twitter!Complete

She had never played Genshin in her life. [F/N] threw her head into her hands, holding back the urge to scream. "I'm absolutely screwed, aren't I?"
Bound by Contract || Childe x Zhongli || Genshin Impact
'We are bound to each other by a contract.' Though Teyvat has yet to be but Mondstadht and Liyue, the world is vast. However, what happens to the rest of the world doesn't concern Childe. In his mind, he only cares for battles, wars, and blood. Perhaps the motivation is to protect his family, or, perhaps, the motive is revenge on the creature that lays in the abyss, waiting to strike at any moment. Or perhaps, he wishes to accomplish both and understand the contract set by him and Zhongli years ago despite not remembering the details. Meeting in the rain, the two placed an agreement upon themselves without an idea of how much destruction would take place. 'If either of us broke the rules set in the contract, we shall suffer the Wrath of the Rock.'Complete
Of Calm Calamities

A Harbinger's Bucket List [ZhongChi/TartaLi]
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.Complete![Star-Crossed [ G.
