Summary
Ajax remembers very little about the Abyss beyond his first month there. Oh well, there are bigger things to worry about—like being sold into the Fatui.
—
“I sort of had a nasty confrontation in Natlan during my diplomatic tenure—got poisoned by my subordinates who happened to be spies—nearly died—and got reassigned to be a diplomat to Liyue because Her Highness doesn’t believe in vacation time,” Childe lists. “Not necessarily in that order. I haven’t even seen my siblings in years.”
“So work,” Keqing simplifies instantly, not wanting to touch that madness with a seven-foot pole.
“What are the Tsaritsa’s intentions for you coming to Liyue.”
“Honestly?” Childe hums. “No damn clue. I mean, she dumped me in Natlan for over half a decade—then boom! Out of nowhere, I get a reassignment when I’ve been asking for one for nearly five-fucking years.”
“I fucking hate Natlan—three out of ten—would not recommend.”

Summary
Childe discovered it out of his own volition. One more parting gift— or perhaps a curse— from the Abyss. Besides his new penchant for violence and a monstrous new form that distorted his body completely, Childe came to the harrowing discovery that he could not die.
Or
The fic where Childe dies a few times, but comes back. On repeat.

Summary
There is a popular game in Snezhnaya, one that originates as an activity to keep children occupied during the long winter days stuck indoors while arctic winds howl outside, knocking against doors and windows and carrying with it a violent storm of ice and frost. The game has since been adopted into a drinking game by bored young adults similarly trapped inside those cold, dark grueling months.
The game’s rules go something like this. Each person takes a turn telling two truths and one lie about themselves while the rest of the participants have to pluck out the lie. If the guessers guessed wrong, the person telling the information gets the point. If the guesser guessed right, then the person gets no points.
There is no real end to this game. Children play it until they become bored, adults play it until they become drunk.
Childe plays it until…
Come to think of it, Childe’s not entirely sure why he’s playing.
--
A Childe introspection story where he tries to find his heart.
