    Summary

    Childe's life post the Osial incident has settled into something of normalcy. He has a comfortable (if not a bit boring) 9-5 job at the bank, he has loads of free time to waste, and he gets to experience whatever Liyue has to offer, at his own pace, frequently accompanied by Zhongli.

    However, this idyllic picture is shattered the day Childe receives a letter from the Tsaritsa, summoning him back to Snezhnaya, immediately.

    He is crushed by the news. He has expected it – it was bound to happen, eventually, but the message still daunts him. How is he supposed to say goodbye to Liyue so suddenly? How is he going to say goodbye to Zhongli, the only person he can call a friend?

    To his surprise, the god offers to travel with him, and so they set on a journey to the northern lands of everwinter. They just forget about one important thing – reptiles don’t do well in freezing cold.

    Which is why Childe now has to deal with his own grumpy Archon, the constant scheming and bickering of the other Harbingers, and a very sleepy and very clingy dragon.

    Summary

    When visiting another country, it is easy to forget that the customs of one's own nation don't apply there. This is the problem Childe finds himself facing as he remembers that it is not, in fact, normal to kiss your friends in Liyue. What makes it worse is that the person he kissed just so happens to be the man he's crushing on, Zhongli.

    Summary

    I am Ajax of Morepesok. I will endure this. For my family, Ajax thinks, trying to force himself not to forget. He knows there were more words he needed to remember, but they are beyond him now, lost to the ever-growing fog inside his mind

    ---

    A mission gone wrong leaves Childe imprisoned in Fontaine. Stripped of his vision and delusion he starts to slowly deteriorate. What the Traveler finds months later in the depths of the grand prison of Fontaine is barely a person, a husk of a man that stares at them with empty eyes devoid of any recognition. Zhongli is there to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    “We’ll save you,” Lumine says as she closes her eyes and raises the blade above her head with two hands wrapped around the hilt. Metal gleams in the light, his own defeated body crumpled over the earth reflected in that silver. “From the monster you have become.”

    Childe wakes from a dream, reaching for his throat that is still very much intact, rather than shred to ribbons. Been given a second chance at life, he wants a friendship with Zhongli in hopes for a chance at survival.

    He won't die again. Not this time.

    ___

    aka "A villain's wants to stab fate in the face" an isekai AU where Childe dies, relives and tries to befriend Zhongli again. But in this time, he catches the eye of the hero.
