Summary
It’s been two months since the storm, and Childe hasn’t seen Zhongli not even once, not since that fateful meeting with the Signora where the truth is finally unveiled.
And what a fun little kick to the gut that is, the realization that not only had he been played by all sides, but he's also being tossed aside like trash now that his use had run its course.
It’s not that Childe doesn’t get it. He’s a Harbinger. He knows first-hand what it means to do his duty, to put the mission first and his personal feelings far, far away, preferably locked up in a box, where it wouldn’t interfere with his job. He knows what it’s like working with vipers, to scheme and plot and lie in wait for the opportune moment to stab his opponent in the back.
But this time, this time Childe can’t help but feel a little (a lot) gutted.
Stupid. He’s gotten himself stupidly attached.
--
A story about Childe trying to move on after the events of 1.1 Update, but some of his actions have consequences, and those consequences have followed him back to Snezhnaya.NOTE: THIS FIC WAS DRAFTED BEFORE 1.1 UPDATE CAME OUT. MIND THE CANON-DIVERGENT TAG FOR THIS REASON.

Summary
A long moment passes between them, and Hinata watches, starstruck, as Heitor’s eyes linger on Nice’s silhouette from across the venue. His voice is deep, rich, all encompassing. “Some people change your life just by being in it, and you don’t want to let that go.”
Huh, Hinata thinks grandly.

Summary
Tobio runs by himself every day. Even though he can't shake off that awful feeling that something's closing in on him, he still does it. It's habit now.
When he gets a phone call that Hinata Shouyou is thinking of coming to Italy, Tobio feels like he has to run even faster.
(Or: Tobio has a month to prepare himself before his high school rival comes to visit him. They haven't spoken to each other for two years, and Tobio can't even remember what food Hinata likes. He's got a lot to think about.)

Bookmarker's Notes
The author has done incredible research on Russian culture and elemental reactions and resistance ingame which makes the story built solidly on canon facts. All in all it sticks pretty close to canon too (I personally highly value this) and Childe as well as Zhongli are perfectly in character. Very good writing: misunderstandings don’t get resolved immediately, more show then tell, empathising with the characters. I genuinely felt myself blushing at some scenes which is a great sign of an author being able to convey feelings well. We have a thick plot, acts and arcs, suspense, and all of that makes a good story. I‘m impressed by this writing.
This is the first fic I‘m reading for Zhongli/Childe, so I could get an idea about why people ship them (in other words, what clues we got in canon, what their chemistry is like etc.) and it made me understand it better.
I haven’t finished this fic yet (2 chapters to go) but I wanted to write down my thoughts in case I forget later.
