    Summary

    It’s been two months since the storm, and Childe hasn’t seen Zhongli not even once, not since that fateful meeting with the Signora where the truth is finally unveiled.

    And what a fun little kick to the gut that is, the realization that not only had he been played by all sides, but he's also being tossed aside like trash now that his use had run its course.

    It’s not that Childe doesn’t get it. He’s a Harbinger. He knows first-hand what it means to do his duty, to put the mission first and his personal feelings far, far away, preferably locked up in a box, where it wouldn’t interfere with his job. He knows what it’s like working with vipers, to scheme and plot and lie in wait for the opportune moment to stab his opponent in the back.

    But this time, this time Childe can’t help but feel a little (a lot) gutted.

    Stupid. He’s gotten himself stupidly attached.

    --
    A story about Childe trying to move on after the events of 1.1 Update, but some of his actions have consequences, and those consequences have followed him back to Snezhnaya.

    NOTE: THIS FIC WAS DRAFTED BEFORE 1.1 UPDATE CAME OUT. MIND THE CANON-DIVERGENT TAG FOR THIS REASON.

    Summary

    “What are you two talking about over there,” Steve calls out from the other bed.

    “Your dumb ass,” Sam says.

    “Bucky Barnes’ true location,” Natasha says.

    “Don’t tease him like that,” Sam says.

    “I’m going to sleep,” Steve decides.

    Summary

    Liyue used to be warm, but now the sun burns--the stares of the people burn. However, the one person who's gaze should burn the most is still warm, and Childe can't understand why. So he asks: Why did Zhongli lie to him? If the Geo Archon values his precious contracts so much, then why would he lie? Why would he break the implicit promise--contract-- between friends to not lie to each other? Does Zhongli truly care for him so little?

    The emotional ramifications of attempting to destroy an entire city by reviving an old god to potentially kill a living god weight on Childe more than he realizes. The realization that he might’ve faced and tried to kill Zhongli hurts more. But in the end it's Zhongli's cock that nearly tears him apart.

    Summary

    Childe and Zhongli’s friendship is unlikely, with one being an impulsive, confident, and adventurous billionaire who’s friends with virtually everyone and sought after by more, and the other a quiet, reserved, and introverted old soul who says “please” and “thank you” to leaves on the sidewalk. And yet, they get along with one another better than anyone else. They’ve been friends for years and found themselves in their own troublesome dilemmas at the same time.

    Childe, a young CEO of the multi-billion dollar company “Fatui”, is dealing with more inappropriate gestures and remarks in regards to him being single than he cares for. Zhongli, a consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Home, is going through a financial crisis, with every possible liability hitting him at once. When ranting to each other over drinks one night, they come to the most absurd solution to both of their problems: pose Zhongli as Childe’s boyfriend and sugar baby, just until everything settles, of course. Childe has more than enough money to spare, Zhongli doesn’t mind helping a friend in need, and their arrangement is flawless. At least, it appears to be that way.

    Summary

    And Childe is not supposed to do this...

    Especially not when he is a man with a mission to steal the gnosis of Rex Lapis.

    "Archons, why does this lap feels so good?" he questioned no one in the middle of the night.

    Because who in their right mind, would climb up Rex Lapis's Statue of the Seven, to sit on it?

    Childe, apparently, because he's not in the right mind.

    Summary

    "The gods are not kind. But if you pray, if you plead, and if your heart is honest, they may grant you one wish. If not, then pray harder. For that is the only way you will escape their wrath."

    ***

    Childe wasn't looking at Zhongli. He was staring into the glowing eyes of Rex Lapis, the one who lifted Liyue's mountains and carved its hills, the one who slaid thousands of gods and humans in his conquests of the Archon Wars, the one who was unforgiving, merciless, and most of all, spoke with enough rage to make the earth tremble beneath them.

    "Childe of the Fatui," Rex Lapis rumbled, and Childe couldn't move, couldn't breathe as the Archon stared at him with his divine anger. He was weak, but there was something in his voice that reverberated throughout the room, layered with thundering vibrations and something that made Childe feel so small. "You will pay your dues."

    Summary

    Tucked against a set of crumbling, stone steps was a tank made of metal and glass, filled to the brim with greenish water, distorted sunlight filtering through and casting strange shadows. Playing tricks on the eye. A trick was the only explanation for what Steve saw floating there. This figment of his childhood. This myth. This legend.

    Within the tank, the siren bared its teeth.
