🐳Tartaglia x Lumine🐳
Summary:
On the Eve of Lantern Rite, Childe had finished his dispatch in Liyue. A year has passed, and he can finally go home, yet, a part of him still reminisce his time in Liyue.

══════════════════
“Master Childe, all preparations are ready to board, ” Ekerinka said. With a clipboard in hand, she went over the list once again to make sure everything had been packed, sealed and ready to go.
Childe stood by the lobby of Northland Bank looking at the big four walls. He began to reminisce about the time he had spent working in this place. Liyue is very different compared to Snezhnaya, despite he wasn’t all that keen to be dispatched in Liyue in the first place; there was a sudden sadness of longing in his heart.
He will miss this place. The place where danger and actions lurk at every corner.
It was fun, and Childe made sure to have all the fun he wants before he departs this city for good.
“Master Childe?” Ekerinka asked, once more.
“Yes?” Childe replied without looking back at his subordinate.
"Are there anything else you wish to add to your packing list?” She asked, pen ready in her hand.
Childe gave a hum and shrugged. He didn’t really have much to pack, other than the trophies the won from fights, as well as souvenirs for his siblings. Besides that, there really wasn’t much as Ekerinka insisted otherwise.
“Nothing, I don’t have anything more to bring back,” Childe replied. He turned to leave the building for some fresh air; inhaling the scent of the harbour once more before departing tonight.
“Are you sure, Master Childe? Others have requested a lot more items to bring back to the Snezhnaya. Although we do have a space limit on the ship, if you don’t have additional cargo, then I will allocate your space quota to the others.” Ekerinka stated.
However, as she finished her sentence, Childe had already opened the door and left. Fresh air filled his lungs as he wandered through the streets. The Harbour looked quite different from usual, as the members of the Qixing were busy making preparations for this year’s Lantern Rite.
Childe had remembered his first Lantern Rite. The atmosphere was certainly festive and he will admit it was nice to see all the lanterns and decorations, however, he didn’t think it fit into his definition of fun.
During his first year, he was busy collecting debt and finishing his work to even participate, which, he told himself there is always going to be next year. Next year he will be able to see what the festival is all about. Now here he is, a year past and he’s leaving on the night of the festival.
He chuckled on that thought. Such a shame.
Maybe he should have bought a kamera to capture the moments, a little something to show the little ones back home. However, Childe shook his head against the idea. It’s never a good idea to buy imported gadgets in Liyue. They mark up the prices way too high than the original price tag.
Walking along the docks, he watches as people and children make lanterns in all different shapes and sizes. The Moon Craver Lantern was impressive, it stood with grace and strength at the centre, as if he was looking over Liyue.
For a moment, Childe thought he was lost in the atmosphere, only to be broken off when he saw a Snezhnayan ship docked by the port. The small smirk faded.
He will miss Liyue. He will miss the buzziling and loud merchants of the city. He ought to ask Zhongli to spar, however, everytime Childe went to the funeral parlor, Zhongli was almost never there. It was until the reception told the Harbinger that Zhongli was away, the young man finally gave up. He will admit that it doesn’t feel all too good to leave past grudges unresolved.
He walked along the streets, having heard Paimon in the background talking to food vendors and commissioners from the Qixing, Childe couldn’t help but play a small game of finding the Traveler amongst the busy crowd. This game has became a small habit of his.
Lumine.
He will miss Lumine. Not soley for her unique skills, but also the adventure she could go on. To cross mountains and oceans of the unknown is sure alluring to the young Harbinger. This brought a rather conflicted feeling in his chest. Should he be loyal to Tsarista having to be blessed by her majesty and as a duty of a Harbinger? Or, should he abandon his post and just travel with Lumine and jump into the dangerous unknown where his heart desires the most?
His heart fluttered for a moment, before shaking his head to clear the conflicted clouded thoughts. He remembers his ultimate goal since he joined the Fatui, to be the strongest person in the whole of Teyvat, even stronger than the Archons themselves. At that thought alone, he made up his mind.
Thus, he gave the Blonde hair traveler one last look and turned away. Childe was sure they would both meet again. She made a pinky promise to Teucer, and unresolved grudges back in the Golden House need to be resolved, after all.
On the night of departing, Childe looked out to the port from the deck. He already had his coat ready. The sea out back to Snezhnaya will be a frosty one, but he welcomes it. He misses his family, and though, he will leave Liyue, his heart will always think about the exciting things he saw and engaged during his stay. Liyue was nice, but nothing beats having his family bavk in Snezhaya.
The ship’s engine began to rumble and slowly, it floated further and further away from the docks. Ekerina and the other’s from Northlandbank waved their goodbyes at the port.
As the orange lanterns ascended towards the sky one by one, illuminating Liyue was a beautiful yellow gold. It was certainly a sight to behold. Childe wished he had bought a kamera.
As the lanterns floated towards the sky, some followed the sea wind and blew towards the ship, as one lantern came towards Childe, he gently took it and observed the handiwork. Chuckling as the thought of such activity to be cute. He had heard it was customary to write one’s wishes onto the lantern before letting it fly. Growing a little curious, he thought it wouldn’t hurt to take a little peek at this stranger’s wish.
Carefully he turned towards the writing, and read it.
Letting a laugh, Childe shook his head and with care, he pushed the lantern up, letting it float higher and higher into the air. He watched as it joined the rest.
In a small voice he said, “I hope your wish will comes true, Comrade.”

I see your “protective big bro aether” and raise you this
Feat Aether, but he’s the number one chilumine shipper.
Feat Lumine, finding Aether and hoping he’ll go all protective big bro to finally get her to snap out of her weird tsundere love face and kick Childe’s ass properly only to find out he more than approves.
Aether: He’s rich, He’s hot, He’s thoughtful- what more could you want???
Lumine: HE’S PART OF THE FATUI
Aether: Tsk, minor detail
Lumine: HE’S (probably) COMMITED CRIMES
Aether: I mean, who doesn’t like crime?
Lumine: HE LITERALLY TRIES TO FIGHT ME EVERY WEEK
Aether: Is there anything more romantic than the heat of battle?
Lumine: YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BEAT HIM UP FOR ME
Aether: Why? You can do that yourself.
Lumine:
Aether: lisTEN, EITHER YOU WOMAN UP AND ADMIT YOU LIKE HIM OR I MARRY HIM BECAUSE GOD DAMN-
Childe: Aren’t you just a little goody two shoes.
Lumine: I’ll slit your throat
Childe: You wouldn’t, you’re too good
Lumine: No I’m not.
Childe: Name one bad thing you’ve ever done on purpose.
Lumine: I hunt timmie’s pidgeons for sport.
Lumine, to Childe: You make a pinky promise, you keep it all your life. You break a pinky promise, I snap your neck.
Childe:
Lumine: I figured you wouldn’t care enough if I threw you on ice.

I’m still trying to master painting on my iPad along with using fewer layers. It’s been a little tough to get the hang of it, but I really like how this turned out!

I'm delusional, but Lumi gives Childe his vision back IN PERSON
Lim found it and I just have to share.
And as a cherry on top it's very likely the same thing her brother left her for
(alternative: the very same thing that might lead her to her brother eventually. how sad it would be to choose)
Soo I've wanted to do this for awhile now and now finally can.
Full of each under v
