    Summary

    "For such an ancient Archon, the Lord of Geo was nothing like I expected. Of all the many things he could spend his time doing in Liyue, he chooses to work as a consultant for a funeral parlor?”

    Childe’s mind went blank with shock, and his heart sank like a stone.

    (Or: Childe flees Liyue, fights God, adopts three children, nearly dies of hypothermia, meets a rotating cast of strange characters, and gets together with the love of his life. Not necessarily in that order.)

    Summary

    Tartaglia was 26 when he died. Ajax was 14 when he woke up again in the snow. Burdened by a past life no one else remembers, Ajax flees his homeland, taking shelter on the desolate mountain far to the east. He is alone—exactly as planned—until one day he stumbles across a hurting dragon.

    ( Zhongli/Ajax isn't a driving force of the story, but it's definitely there. Other characters—like pretty much everyone—will make appearances; I'm only tagging key figures to keep from tag-clutter. )

    Arc I (1—9): Prelude to Storm
    Arc II (10—24): Ideals and Purpose
    Arc III (25—35): Transient Eternity
    Arc 3.5 (36—43): A Light in the Dark
    Arc IV (45—55): The Price of Knowledge
    Arc 4.5 (56—64): Beyond Our Dreams
    Arc V (65—73): Teyvat Immortal Alliance
    Arc VI (74—88): Court of Jesters
    Arc VII (89—100): Secrets Lost to the Snow
    Arc VIII (101—??): A Sword Pointed at the Heavens

    Feel free to take breaks between arcs, or you know, just binge the whole story XD

    Summary

    Ajax had a soulmate mark, just like about half the population of Teyvat did.
    If Ajax ever found his soulmate, he would pretend to be normal for them. He would observe from afar if possible, and make sure nothing happened to them. That no ailments ever came to them. That they never came to lack anything.
    That was the plan. Or, at least, it had been, until the Tsaritsa requested an audience with him alone and asked to see his mark.

    “Tartaglia,” she began, serious. “That is Morax, the Geo Archon.”

    -------------

    Or, Ajax is Morax' soulmate, the Tsaritsa ships him off to Liyue, and he has to pretend like he doesn't feel like he's not good enough for the Geo Archon.

    [the word count up to chapter 14 was 69 420 and i think i won't achieve something as beautiful ever again]

    Summary

    “You told me once that you didn’t like seeing me in pain. Or was that a lie too?”

    Zhongli is silent. Then, softer than the man has ever spoken, he allows his voice to reach past his façade: "You may go." Childe doesn’t miss the crack in his voice, the way his vocal cords cannot handle that he’s well and truly lost.

    And Childe knows he’s done it, he’s finally broken the man, and believes with his whole heart that it’s what he deserves after making him believe for a second he was worth anything at all. Feelings like those were dangerous, and sometimes Signora’s words had some merit to them.

    “Goodbye.” He manages.

    And when his eyes flutter open, and the cold bristles his skin as he’s reminded he’s back in Snezhnaya, he can’t help the tears that soak his face. He can’t control the wails he lets out, and he most of all can’t control his darkest temptations that wish, with all his might, that Zhongli truly loved him.


    in which childe can't quite grasp the concept of zhongli's betrayal, his permanent headache comes back to pinch him in his side, and zhongli realises he's fucked up. well and truly, this time.
