    Summary

    Childe’s exit from the Primordial Sea after being hurled through the dimensional rift brings him on a small detour, and he comes face to face with someone who looks…a lot like Master Skirk.
    (In which Jingliu and Skirk look SO ALIKE that I impulsively wrote a fic on that single premise.)

    Aka Childe interacts with the Astral Express, the Xianzhou Luofu cast, and check-ins on Teyvat. He participates in a few companion quests ranging from Kafka’s to Jingliu’s. Watch him comprehend the power scaling in the Star Rail verse, getting himself into trouble, figure out how to return to Teyvat, and other shenanigans (if you ever wondered what would happen if Blade met Childe, this is the fic for you). Oh and he impulsively ate the Lightless eye of the Maelstrom? (Wait- Didn't that mean he just ate the Narwhal?)

    Cameos: Aventurine, Ratio, Herta, Fu Xuan, Qingque, Acheron, Kiana Kaslana (HK3, yes you saw right)

    Having returned to Teyvat, Childe struggles to come to terms with the implications of what it means to have caught a glimpse of the worlds that laid beyond the false sky.

    Summary

    Two months after the Osial incident, Childe is back in Liyue Harbour, and diplomatic immunity is the only reason he isn't behind bars. Apparently, Keqing is the only one who sees this for the absolutely terrible idea it is, so she takes it into her own hands to... encourage Childe's good behaviour. By blackmailing him. With his feelings for Zhongli.

    No, she's not proud of it either. The Yuheng isn't the only one adept at blackmail, though, and when Childe pressures her with photographs of the Rex Lapis shrine in her closet, the two find themselves in the pettiest of stalemates.

    Summary

    The buzz of alcohol paints everything a warm, golden glow. Childe never knew a person could look so resplendent simply taking a sip of wine, but the way Zhongli holds himself –with all the elegance of an emperor on his throne–is so jarring that Childe finds himself swallowing hard, even though he had yet to take a sip himself.

    Husband, his heart sings. He's my husband.

    He jolts as he realizes what he’s thinking. He’s getting too far ahead of himself. He shakes his head, reminding himself with a twinge in his heart that he and Zhongli are not together. The alcohol is getting to his head, letting his thoughts run with his desires and mix them with reality.

    He knows better than this; he should be taking more caution with his actions, especially as a high-ranking Fatui official. But as the alcohol in his bloodstream and the god in front of him fills him with a warmth that makes Childe go weak in the knees, all his resolve melts away. In the dim light of evening, Zhongli shines, and Childe thinks of committing him to memory with the touch of his lips.

     

    Childe gets drunk and thinks Zhongli is his husband. He's not (yet).

    Summary

    Of all the stories he’s read, Phainon would’ve never chosen to reincarnate into this one. It’s a messy world, not because of complex political schemes or endless, cruel wars, but because the lore is all over the place. Even the wiki has partially given up on certain plot points– and that certainly says something.

    Oh, and also because there is a character who shares his name, and it’s a character deeply loathed by the fanbase, Phainon included.

    Unfortunately, whoever plopped him down in this story hasn’t heard his misgivings, and so, here he is: the fake hero of Amphoreus, Phainon of Aedes Elysiae.
