    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

    Liyue's warmth crashed into Childe like waves in the ocean. So violent yet so beautiful. Childe doesn't fight it, he sinks in it's current, he drowns in it instead.

    He meets Zhongli and suddenly he feels unbroken. He feels whole. It's as if the Abyss never happened. As if his father never happened. As if he's human, unblemished, and unfaded.

    Then Liyue's trial happened.

    Those Cor Lapis eyes that shone for him, that saw him as someone to be cherished, now stood focused on Signora as a Gnosis is traded away.

    He'd felt this before...he's being abandoned again.

    A poisoning incident somehow leads him to find a "tumor" growing on elemental energy, a conspiracy led by the Abyss, and a child of his own.

    Through this, Childe heals. He tries to forget.

    Through this, Zhongli finds that his actions....have consequences.

    Summary

    Childe didn't dream much before coming to Liyue, if he did, it was memories of blood, not fantasies.

    But then there was the Geo Archon. An Archon of War. Childe had heard the storytellers' proud tales of their God, Rex Lapis, read the lengthy novels, and seen the lands that told tales of their own of the Lord of Geo. And Childe couldn't help smiling at the stories of stone spears piercing the earth and sea. A nearly seven thousand year old warrior who had lived through an era of nothing but battles and who had won.

    To say Childe was eager to fight the archaic God was to make the greatest understatement in all of Teyvat's history.

    Then the Rite of Receiving. The War God assassinated. Childe went back to dark dreamless nights, his dream of fighting that unparalleled power suddenly gone. Then betrayal yet odd relief came when he found Zhongli and Rex Lapis were in fact the same being. It stung, but in a way Childe felt was karma. The omissions he could excuse, but Childe couldn’t forgive himself for what followed. Dreams rushed back to him and now Rex Lapis held a new more attractive form, Zhongli.

    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?
