Good luck for your finals!! I'm sending you fluffy zcl thoughts:
Childe recovering with Zhongli after Fontaine (currently one of my favorite things to think about); I think Zhongli could be the only one able to keep him from trying to run off fighting stuff immediatly again. Instead, they spend some relaxing time in Liyue with maybe some light sparring and Zhongli makes him soup.
I'd also like to see them explore Chenyu Vale together!! There's little spots for drinking tea everywhere, I love it!
Let me see if I can combine the two! ^^ After Childe is deposited back to Zapolyarny, his fever-dreams during recovery cause Zhongli to be summoned based on just how much Childe says his name. When Childe finally awakes, he'd be so surprised to see ZL by his bedside and is a bit embarrassed to hear ZL came all this way just because of him. ZL claims no trouble, and says that if Childe doesn't mind, he'd like to take him to a retreat in Chenyu Vale to recover in a less harsh environment. Childe tries to argue back, but ZL reveals he'd already requested Childe's leave of absence ahead of time with the Tsaritsa granting it (knowing ZL's identity) and approved by the palace doctor (cough*Dottore*cough) himself. Childe realizes ZL's mind is set on it, so gives in. They end up at the retreat, and Childe is forced to slow down as there is no way to speed up recovery. He ends up learning tea culture, learning to meditate, and simply enjoying being around ZL after not having his company since he departed Liyue. As he regains his strength, he finds himself too bashful to admit that he hopes it takes a while longer, so he can continue living this simple life with ZL. 💛 Thank you again for the lovely break~

ultimately by khai dreams
So, for now, we'll say goodbye
Although it pains me in my heart
Your words they come to me in memories
They sing to me like songs
It won't be long until I'm here
Soon I'll make my arrival
Under shady trees
A quiet street
The roads that I have travelled
And ultimately I could not prevent our end
I hopethat we stay friends
And if we don't, let's make amends
Because I need you in my life
You're the one thing I survive for
And I'll never be alright unless you are the light I strive for
Dear reader, I hope you saw that your submission inspired a 2m animatic by me <3 https://x.com/HeartResonant/status/1685671346385092608?s=20

Your stories are so touching, your art is so beautiful, and not to mention you always come across as such a sweet person. We're really lucky to have you in the Tartali / Zhongchi community, so thank you for being here! ❤
(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄ Oh my. Thank you so much~ I'm just putting my silly little heart out there (breaking it and mending it again by writing angst and fluff), and taking you all with me. I'm so thankful you like what I do, and know that I appreciate you so much for telling me that. It's your interactions that help me keep going. 💛💛💛

In terms of progress how far are we in Rebirth AU ?
On twt, a little more than halfway! 💛 I hope you are enjoying it so far~

hellooo, has the mage!zl & fox!ch au finished already? cuz i don't see any updates about that anymore... i love the rebirth au btw <3
It has. The tale was meant to be short like a children's storybook. You can read the full fic on Ao3. The Rebirth AU, however, is scheduled to go on for a while, so I hope you enjoy reading their story. <3

Not a question but I just want to say, your mage zl and fox childe gives me life(i literally cried on one of ur artworks) they are so beautiful (༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ) and thank you so much for letting us witness that. That's all i hope you'd have a good day (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
Ah~ This comment makes me so happy. I am rather self-conscious about my art since I feel much more confident in writing, but I am certainly surprised by everyone's reception. They make me happy, and if they also make you happy, then I'm happier! <3

Thank you! I have a personal goal of posting one chapter every week to give me time to write for more consistent updates.

What are your pronouns?
I’m fine with any, as I feel amorphous on the internet. But technically she/her IRL, though I don’t mind in the least of they/them or he/him.

How do u find inspiration to write? :)
Many things inspire me, but the biggest influences that spark my fics are music, fanart, and discussions about AUs. For music and fanart, my mind will often conjure a scene and I will write a story around it. I’ll often listen to the song and have the fanart beside the Word document as I write to further fuel the plot. For discussions, I love trading ideas then eventually I’ll patch it all together then flesh out the details.
