Letters to Teucer

Summary:

These are short drabbles of Childe writing letters to Teucer about the cool Traveler he met

CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR MAIN STORY QUEST AND CHILDE'S STORY/QUEST.

Notes:

Thank you for reading this!

Please remember that these are to be seen as handwritten letters, so they aren't expected to be super long in length. (I was stressed about the short length at first but remembered... HAND written lol)

Also- while Childe was honest and forthright in his canon letter to Tonia, I feel he'd be a lot more "fun" and "calm" in his letters to Teucer.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: A Fated Encounter

Chapter Text

“Dear Teucer,  

It’s been quite a long time since we’ve been able to see each other.  

I hope you’re taking good care of Tonia and Anthon. I’m hoping I can get back to Snezhnaya soon.  

I really miss you.  

I’m taking the time to write to you today because I wanted to tell you about my adventures and how selling toys is going for me, as promised.  

My travels have taken me to Liyue, a beautiful land. It’s so different from Snezhnaya. It rarely snows here and there are so many beautiful mountains and landmarks.  

First, there’s Liyue Harbor. It’s a huge city with many shops. Boats come in and out daily with different goods. I’m sure you’d love the different toys you can find here. Of course, none will beat Mr. Cyclops though!  

There are many places here I’d love to take you. I just know you’d love Jueyun Karst. It’s filled with ginormous (bigger than Mr. Cyclops!) peaks. It’s very dangerous, so I’d never send you there alone. But I know you’d have a blast.  

I hope one day we can visit Liyue together and have fun.  

Right now, might not be a good time though, because something happened with their Archon, Morax. While this was a tragic event for the citizens of Liyue, I can’t help but feel excited. Why you ask?  

I met the most interesting person. I hope I can introduce you some day. She found herself in some trouble with the locals and I just happened to help get her out of said trouble. You can always count on big brother Ajax!  ε===(っ≧ω≦)っ  

She goes by the name of Lumine. They are also of traveler to Liyue, but they’ve been to places we can only dream of! She’s very small? She’s not much taller than you, so I’m sure you’d get along! But I think it’s super cute. (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)  

She is currently on a mission to find her lost sibling. They were separated a while ago and she’s now travelling all over Teyvat to try and locate him. It makes me realize how lucky I am to have you guys so close, yet so far.  

I wish I could help her, but I’m so tied up with selling toys that I’m powerless.  

Anyway, she has blonde hair that reminds me of Sweet Flowers and the most intense golden eyes. She wears a white flower in her hair but I’m not sure where it comes from. After our... encounter, I can't stop thinking about having accidentally dirtied it. How would she get a replacement if she needed?  

Teucer, your big brother really can’t wait to come home and see you.  

Love,  

Your big bro Ajax”
