“Would I still be enough?” Childe confessed as the weapon of the world. Yet, he’s just ‘Ajax’ when he’s with you.

Preview!

♡꒱ ˊ + You’ve known Tartaglia long enough to recognize the difference between “fine” and “lying.”

The world calls him the Tsaritsa’s weapon of war—Eleventh Fatui Harbinger, fearless, untouchable, always smiling in the face of blood and battle. A man built for victory, for violence, for things ordinary people were never meant to survive.

But you know Ajax.

The one who stops sleeping through the night.

The one who disappears from bed when the nightmares get too loud.

The one you sometimes find alone on the balcony while Snezhnaya buries itself in endless snow, pretending the cold doesn’t reach him anymore.

He’ll always laugh it off when you ask.

Always say he’s fine.

Always act like nothing’s wrong.

But you’ve seen the way his eyes go quiet when no one’s watching—like something inside him never fully came back from the Abyss.

And the worst part?

He believes being useful is the only thing keeping him human.

Notes!

♡꒱ ˊ + I missed him so so so much... I hope we got to see him in Snezhnaya later (please, please, please) 🤞🏻🤞🏻
