Summary
In the future, the Tsar of Snezhnaya is named Tartaglia. He is a sinner, guilty of treason, deicide, murder, depravity, complacency, and worse. How fitting it is, that he should meet his end in the place where his descent began. Had he never stepped foot in Liyue, he never would have lost everything that truly mattered. He never would have found it either.
Love... hate... Childe can no longer tell the difference. All he knows is that the god dying in his arms deserved better than what Childe gave him. If he had one wish, here at the end of his miserable existence, he would wish to go back and take a different path. Luckily, there is at least one god willing to listen to the pleas of a wicked man.
But when wishes become reality, do we really have the power to fulfill our foolish promises?

Summary
After his little brother is bundled back to Snezhnaya, Childe makes good on his promise to the traveller and takes the first boat out of Liyue Harbor. Any sense of homecoming lasts about as long as an uncooked steak in front of Xiangling, however, when his boat sinks, grounding him back in the mainland.
It's just as well, because the next morning, a body is found in the Northland Bank.
A visit from a fellow Harbinger reveals a far more insidious plot than anything Childe could concoct with a god of the vortex and twenty minutes without supervision. The murders aren’t limited to the one Bank. They’ve been trailing down the Liyue border, getting closer and closer to the city. The Tsaritsa has a new mission for him: to figure out who, or what is targeting Fatui forces.Against his best wishes, Childe is forced to see Zhongli again at the morgue. It becomes clear that he’s going to need a guide, and Childe resolves to quash his pride, and their differences to request his help to navigate Liyue and solve the case.

Summary
The abyss was black, snow was white, and battle was red. Tartaglia, “Childe,” quite liked them that way, and he quite liked when they all mixed together. In fact, nothing was better. He took every step in life desperate to swallow the whole world in those colors.
Zhongli, on the other hand, preferred the calm, endless blue of the sea. It was unfortunate that taming the ocean was a futile endeavor. Even so, he always found that he did his best soul-searching while near the water.
--
Post-1.1, Zhongli and Childe navigate their relationship set back into motion after a single battle.

Summary
His eyes fell on the handle of the knife, still lying where he had dropped it. Half intact. Just enough to see the initials carved in the sloppy way of a child. Just enough to realize, somewhere deep behind the snarling in his chest, was a child who recognized them.
All you do is run.
So he ran, the legacy ripping free like skin torn from a too-fresh wound, losing its purchase even as he grew more afraid, because it was the act of a coward, to run. The desperate last act of a dying child who had once been called Ajax.
Maybe it was shame.
Maybe that was why he could never remember her face.the abyss needs an archon, and the abyss never forgets
