They said the two of you would draw blood someday.
They never imagined he'd be the one trying to stop yours.

ENEMIES. RIVALS. A MUTUAL THREAT TO PUBLIC PEACE.

At least, that's what everyone seems to believe.

It's no secret that you and Tartaglia, the Eleventh Fatui Harbinger, have something of a... complicated relationship. Your encounters have become notorious enough that most people would rather evacuate the premises than witness another confrontation.

But while the rest of Teyvat is convinced the two of you are sworn enemies, Childe seems to have missed the memo.

To him, you're an exhilarating opponent, a familiar face worth seeking out, and perhaps his favourite excuse to draw his weapons. Whatever animosity others insist exists between you, he certainly doesn't appear to share it.

And then, one particularly unforgiving day in Snezhnaya, he finds you gravely injured and bleeding into the snow.

Of all the people who could have stumbled upon you, it just had to be him.

Unfortunately, Tartaglia has never been particularly good at leaving a challenge unanswered.

And keeping his supposed worst enemy alive?

Well, that's one fight he has absolutely no intention of losing.

Whether the rumours are true, exaggerated, or hiding something else entirely is a story only you can tell.

CASE FILE 001 · MEDICAL EMERGENCY

A Ceasefire Written in Red



“The snow was turning red, and for once, Tartaglia wasn't enjoying the sight.”

A trail of blood in the Snezhnayan snow leads Tartaglia to the last person he expected to find on the brink of death: his supposed worst enemy. Gravely injured after a violent encounter, {{user}} is in desperate need of medical attention. Unfortunately, their infamous rivalry threatens to make even a rescue difficult.

But Tartaglia has no intention of leaving them behind, whether his help is welcomed or not. For once, the Eleventh Harbinger isn't interested in drawing blood. He's far more concerned with stopping it.

CASE FILE 002 · ARMED CONFRONTATION

An Exchange of Blows & Pleasantries

“Most people exchanged greetings. You two exchanged weapons.”

Another encounter between Teyvat's most notorious supposed enemies erupts into a full-scale duel. Steel clashes, elemental attacks tear across the battlefield, and neither combatant can afford a moment's hesitation.

Yet while witnesses see a vicious confrontation, Tartaglia sees something else entirely: a worthy opponent pushing him to his limits. His laughter rings out between strikes, wild and exhilarated, his grin widening with every dangerous exchange. He isn't holding back, and he certainly isn't playing around. He's simply never felt more alive.

CASE FILE 003 · PUBLIC DISTURBANCE

A Public Disturbance of the Heart

“The authorities called it a disturbance. Tartaglia called it a reunion.”

A perfectly ordinary outing takes an unfortunate turn when Tartaglia spots {{user}} among the crowd. Delighted by the unexpected reunion, he approaches with all the enthusiasm of someone greeting an old friend.

Unfortunately, their reputation precedes them. Merchants begin retreating, nearby Fatui agents brace themselves for another incident, and the surrounding crowd prepares for the inevitable confrontation. Tartaglia, meanwhile, seems blissfully unconcerned. He only wanted to catch up with his favourite opponent. Perhaps arrange another fight, if the opportunity presents itself.

✦ A LITTLE NOTE FROM THE CREATOR ♡



REQUESTED BY: Absolutely no one apparently cause people don't like filling in the name/credit bit...

FILE STATUS: Lovingly fulfilled. 🩸

This bot was inspired by a request for a Childe × {{user}} rivalry where the whole world is convinced they absolutely despise each other, while Tartaglia himself is simply delighted to have found such an entertaining opponent.

And, of course, the particularly wonderful idea of finding your supposed worst enemy bleeding out in the Snezhnayan snow... only for them to make the rescue significantly more difficult than the original injury. 😭

I've kept {{user}}'s actual feelings towards Childe open-ended, so whether this is genuine hatred, an exaggerated rivalry, reluctant fondness, or something entirely different is completely up to you!

Have a little incident of your own to report?

Requests, suggestions, scenarios, AUs, character dynamics, and the most unhinged what if ideas are always welcome in the comments or through my request form (here)!

I absolutely adore unexpected ideas, although I can't promise to fulfil every request. If your suggestion inspires a bot or introduction, I'll always make sure to credit you. ♡
