    Summary

    “I do not break contracts, Childe. Nor promises. Neither as an Archon nor as Zhongli.”

    Childe looked at him then, how Zhongli stared into the distance again, gaze turned inward. He saw the pain in those amber eyes, the melancholy as he thought back to that person, the person that has been owning his heart for thousands of years and Childe realized...

    ... he could never have that place.

    Summary

    "Before I finish, I would like to tell you one more time: the feelings I have for you have always been true. I have never been able to control your actions as I would have liked and this was probably what made beat my heart for the first time.
    I didn't like to smoke and I would like you to stop smoking in your new life, I have read that it is not good at all; however cigarettes resemble you Sherlock. They burn quickly, but they should be savored slowly, because they have the power to clear your mind and numb your senses. It may not be a good description for you, but this is how I have always felt in your company and I can assure you that it was the best feeling of my life. There was a moment last night when I wanted to forget everything. I have longed for time to freeze to grant me the grace of being able to hold you forever. There was a moment when your sweet words managed to enchant me and make me believe that everything would be fine if I remained forever in your arms; because that's what you can do to me with a single touch. "

    Summary

    It starts small. A faint, passing ache in his chest, where his gnosis used to be; a hint of strain when he breathes in, or pushes himself when he's tired. Zhongli pays it no mind. Although it's beyond his expectations, he's still feeling out the limits of his new, mortal form, and he dismisses it as a regular part of his adjustment.

    The blood, however, is much harder to dismiss.

    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.
