Summary
Childe had always assumed that he would die young. He had accepted that a long time ago, ever since he accepted the mantle of a Fatui Harbinger. However, he always thought that he would die in a glorious fight, his body broken but spirit relishing the strong opponent that had bested him. He was okay with that type of death.
Unfortunately, it seemed like Fate had decided to add one last insult to injury, because, here Childe was, dying because he had fallen in love with the ex-Geo Archon. The same Archon who seemed to have discarded him like an old toy ever since the Osial Incident.
---
In which divine beings are cruel and a cursed Childe starts preparing for his inevitable death because no Archon could ever love a mortal....Right?

Summary
Yanwang Dijun is the two-millennia long Emperor of Liyue. On the eve of his retirement, the Tsaritsa sends him a gift in the form of her Eleventh Harbinger. What was supposed to be an enjoyable sunset of his reign turns into a dangerous plot as both Zhongli and Childe become embroiled in grudges of eons past.
When the sun sets in the east, and the oceans turn to ash; when the wind whips crimson currents, and the void beckons at our doorstep—what is left then but the beating of our hearts and a promise of a better tomorrow?
Featuring a cunning Childe who will do anything to protect Zhongli's smile and an Emperor caught between vows of the past, present, and future.
Alt. what if we follow the broad theme of 1.1 but turn it into a C-drama with ghost kings, cultivation, and assassination plots.

Summary
"Welcome to a new user experience! You have triggered this interface with the keywords, ‘Stupid game! Stupid devs! I want my f*****g money back!’ You are now bound to the character Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, codename: Childe! We hope you have an enjoyable user experience and we welcome you once again to Genshin Impact 2.0!”
Those are some of the first words Ajax, starving college student extraordinaire, has the misfortune of hearing upon waking up in a brave new world from what he's fairly sure is a very fatal accident involving water and a shit ton of electricity.
Okay, so he's not dead. That's good. But what's this about him being stuck playing the character Tartaglia? Tartaglia, as in the no-good, one-dimensional, cartoonish villain who met his untimely, gruesome death in the first act of the original game?
Forget this. Like hell Ajax is going to share that fate.
And so begins one man's journey to save himself from his awful destiny.

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
When His Majesty the King finally had found his Queen-to-be, Head Court Lady Noh decided that she had to turn her attention somewhere else. After all, it was not only the King’s love life and bloodline that worried her.
Naturally (or predictably?), her next target was none other than the confidante and best friend of the King, also best known as Captain of the Royal Guards. Because, well, the future heir needed his or her own Unbreakable Sword too, you see.
Now, if she could only pinpoint the ever elusive Captain...

5 times that Yeong & Seung-ah's relationship were just like the scenes from a (bad) spy thriller and their secret almost got out, and the 1 time they finally got caught. (Or were they?)Bookmarked by ShynFuyuki
