imagine childe promising zhongli on his deathbed that he’ll do whatever it takes to find him again. zhongli tells him it’s okay if he can’t.

but he is adamant. that he’ll reincarnate and find zhongli.

all zhongli says is he’ll make it easy for childe to find him.
when childe does reincarnate, he comes alive in a time where people don’t feel safe, the streets stained with blood and fear lingering in the air.

childe hears stories; of a man so dangerous no one dares to speak his name, who is the apex predator, the reason for all this fear.
a monster. heartless, soulless they call him. almost like he’s lost his humanity.

but childe’s too busy to pay rumours and street gossip any mind; he’s trying to find zhongli, just as he promised.

only each step forward leads to a dead end, and he’s losing hope.
that’s when he’s struck by a horrible thought - that zhongli no longer exists, that he may have lost his life to this unknown entity haunting the nations of teyvat.

enraged, childe sets out to seek answers, trying to find this mystery man/demon.
childe finds him completely by accident, in an alley, blood dripping down his forearms as a body lays cold on the ground.

he can’t draw his eyes away from zhongli - knife in his hands, a dark smile on his face, eyes filled with love.

“ajax, i made sure you could find me.”

#zhongchi au where childe is a webtoon artist and has based his popular spicy webtoon on him and zhongli and himself except he’s not dating zhongli, and the older man has no idea childe has a crush on him.

better if zhongli happens to be someone who works in the same industry.
maybe zhongli is one of the more well known producers in the company and all the webtoon artists are vying for his attention, trying to get their works published on a larger scale.

enter childe who used to be a small time artist on social media with a significant following.
his little comic series (titled ‘the boy in the abyss’) of a little boy’s adventures in hellscape like realm gained internet fame and soon he was asked by Lapis Illustrated to publish a webtoon of his own.

cue him meeting zhongli, and developing a massive crush.

sometimes i wonder about teucer finding out about childe being a harbinger? like sooner or later he’s going to know but the question is how. will childe tell him? or his other siblings?

or imagine he runs into his big brother, soaked in blood, a delusion flashing at his waist.
but don’t imagine him finding out when lord pulcinella arrives at his house one day, eyes downcast, with a mask in his hands.

don’t imagine him learning the truth of his brother as the fifth harbingers gives his condolences.
most of all, don’t imagine him reading his brother’s letters, penned so neatly in his handwriting, apologies and regrets in each of them.

don’t imagine teucer going to the neck of the woods, searching for a place his brother wrote of, to numb the pain.

okay but imagine if childe never knew how he fell into the abyss, that while he tells (to very few people) that he tripped and fell, childe remembers the phantom touch of a hand on his back, an unintelligible whisper and a shadowy figure.

he didn’t just fall. he was pushed.
but who would do that? childe is plagued by these vague memories, and he swears to find revenge on the person who ruined him.

even though the abyss led him to the fatui, led him to being the 11th harbinger, childe knows he’s lost more than his perceived gains.
the years pass. liyue happens. signora dies. scaramouche flees. childe…childe remains.

he remains at the tsaritsa’s side, continues doing his duty, continues to grow. his memories slowly fading into wisps of a dream.

#ZhongChi (implied mpreg)

Childe wakes to the sounds of hushing and clattering tableware. An odd combination of sounds to wake to, given his husband is still in bed with him. He rises from the bed groggily, steps soft as he leaves his room to peek into the kitchen.
The sight that greets him is equally odd and adorable.

Childe smiles as he watches his two sons clamber about the kitchen, his eldest shakily flipping pancakes as his youngest hovers.

"That's not how mama does it!"
"Shhh, you're being loud didi, you'll wake them up!"
His littlest one pouts, most likely offended at his brother's insinuation but doesn't speak up either. His brother turns to look at him.

"This is a surprise for them, okay. So they can't know."

Honestly, some days Childe marvels at how cute his sons are.
