A Cradle for Our Precious Treasure
#ZhongChi || Rated E || archiveofourown.org/works/421616...

Childe accidentally bonds himself to Zhongli's adeptus baby. Now they have to raise her together while trying their best to not fall in love.

The End.

The wolf looks over his shoulder with a sly and menacing expression. The coin purse full of Mora lays scattered and forgotten on the ground.

aiambia @aiambia.bsky.social · Jul 1

“There are two girls up there playing music,” the man says.

“Their song would be the perfect present, but I don’t know how to get up there.” Baoyu says.

“I know the way. I can take you!” The man says.

“Really?” Baoyu holds out her hand to him. “Then let’s go find the music together!”

The wolf and Baoyu walk off hand-in-hand down a path. Glaze Lily petals are scattered in the wind. The red blanket Baoyu bought drags on the ground behind her.

Baoyu turns around and sees a tall man with long dark hair and a soft fuzzy coat.

“I heard music, and I want to see what’s going on!” Baoyu says.

“Why, you’re too small to see what’s up there, but I am tall, and I can tell you I see,” the man says.

“Oh, yes please!” Baoyu answers.

On left, a scary-looking, unnamed wolf man with glasses stares forward. On right, the wolf stands beside Baoyu. Both stand on their hind legs.

aiambia @aiambia.bsky.social · Jul 1

Baoyu hears a tune. That’s it! She’ll get them all a song! They can all dance and play together!

The song drifts down from the top of a cliff, just beside the Harbor. Baoyu goes to the base of the cliff, but she’s too small to see what’s on top!

“Excuse me little girl, what are you doing?”

In upper left corner, Baoyu pauses to listen to music. To right of page, Baoyu stands at the base of a cliff, listening to music. A dark, spooky shadow looms over her.

aiambia @aiambia.bsky.social · Jul 1

There’s just one present left, but what should she get? It should be something that all of them can share, to remind Baba and Ajax that when they’re together, it’s time to smile!

Baoyu runs off right side of page, towards music. Xiao, Lumine, Ajax, and Zhongli's tails are featured in bottom left side of page, along with a brief conversation:

Xiao: "It's getting late..."
Lumine: "Where is she?"
Ajax: "I swear I just saw her run by..."
Zhongli: "Keep looking. She can't be far."

aiambia @aiambia.bsky.social · Jul 1

"Thank you!” Baoyu tells her.

“Good luck to you,” Granny says. “I hope Ajax feels better.”

Baoyu knows he will. With a beautiful red blanket to wrap himself in when he feels scared, now Ajax can be brave all the time, even if Baoyu and Baba aren’t there!

At top, Baoyu runs off, happily. Granny wishes her well. At bottom, Baoyu continues running through harbor, happy with the gifts she's acquired. Ajax, Xiao, Zhongli, Lumine, and Ningguang all panic in the background, still unable to find Baoyu.

Ajax: "Baoyu! Where are you?"
Xiao: "Why can't I see her?"
Zhongli: "Meimei, please come back!"
Lumine: "Should we check outisde the harbor?"
Ningguang: "No sightings from the Millelith..."

aiambia @aiambia.bsky.social · Jul 1

Granny picks up the red blanket. “Well, since you’ve asked so nicely, I suppose I can sell it to you for ten mora. Do you have ten mora?”

“Yes! I have ten mora!” Baoyu exclaims.

She counts out ten coins, and gives them to Granny with a smile. Granny gives her the blanket in return.

Ten mora coins, labeled one through ten.

aiambia @aiambia.bsky.social · Jul 1

It seems like no one is selling blankets, but just when Baoyu is about to give up, she sees an old granny knitting.

Granny has knitted many colorful blankets, but the one she’s just finished is a bright lucky red, just like Baoyu’s blanket!

“Granny, can I buy one of your blankets?” Baoyu asks.

Baoyu speaks to a Granny (owl) about buying a blanket. Granny holds a red blanket and has a pile of blankets of varying colors beside her.

aiambia @aiambia.bsky.social · Jul 1

Oh! She can get Ajax his very own blanket! Then he can always feel brave, even if Baoyu and Baba aren’t around to help him.

Baoyu sets off towards the harbor’s shops in search of the softest blanket she can find. There are lots of shops selling many things, but no blanket shops in sight!

Baoyu walks through the Harbor. Ajax and Xiao run around the harbor in the background, looking for Baoyu but not seeing her.
Ajax: "Baoyu!"
Xiao: "Meimei..."

aiambia @aiambia.bsky.social · Jul 1

And there at the top are the grassy patches filled with Mama’s favorite flowers. Baoyu picks a handful. Baba will love them!

Ajax’s gift is a little harder. What could Baoyu get him that reminds him to be brave?

Being brave isn’t easy. But, Baoyu's blanket always makes her feel better.

On left, Baoyu picks flowers while Madame Ping (crane) wonders why she's alone.
Madame Ping: "Baoyu? Why are you alone? Where is your Baba?"

On right, Baoyu walks off, thinking about the next present. Madame Ping panics because Baoyu is suddenly gone.
Madame Ping: "Baoyu? Baoyu! Where did you go?! ...I should find Zhongli...

aiambia @aiambia.bsky.social · Jul 1

But Baoyu can do hard things! One by one, she climbs each step. She counts them as she goes, from one all the way up to one hundred, until she makes it all the way to the top!

Baoyu climbs up stone staircases. She struggles at first, but stands triumphantly at the top.

aiambia @aiambia.bsky.social · Jul 1

Baba’s gift is easy: he gets Mama’s favorite flowers!

Mama’s favorite flowers grows in the grass patches just past Dr. Baizhu’s clinic up the big stone stairs.

But there are many steps up to the grassy patches where the flowers grow, and climbing those steps is hard.

Baoyu knew what she had to do: She had to find a way to make Baba and Ajax smile! With her mora in hand, Baoyu sets off into the Harbor to find what she needs. The harbor is a really big place, but Baoyu is a brave little dragon, and she can do hard things!

She’ll find a gift for each of them!

Baoyu stands in a grassy field happily carrying a coin purse, talking to herself about the three presents she's going to acquire. Zhongli and Ajax are panicked in the background, looking for her.

Zhongli: "Baoyu, where are you?"

Ajax: "Babobao! It's time to come out now!

aiambia @aiambia.bsky.social · Jul 1

One day, Baba and Ajax were feeling kind of sad. They were both really frowny.

“I miss Mama!” Said Baba.

“I’m scared!” Said Ajax.

Baoyu tried everything she could think of to make them feel better, but none of it worked!

Zhongli and Ajax look sad. Baoyu tries to cheer them up.

aiambia @aiambia.bsky.social · Jul 1

Once upon a time, there was a little dragon named Baoyu. Baoyu lived with her Baba and big brother, Xiao, at the top of the hill. She lived in a small house but it had lots of toys! She liked playing with Baba and Xiao Gege and Xianyun A-yi and Lumine Jiejie and Paimon and her new friend Ajax.

Baoyu's Big Day Out!

Baoyu is a baby dragon on a mission! Baba and Ajax are feeling bad, but Baoyu knows can make them feel better.

Bath time and bedtime were always a favorite of Childe's. It's almost surreal that he gets to be here for it again.

Xiao cannot understand why Zhongli is so quick to take Childe back. He is a betrayer, a liar, and yet here he is at their door, making life feel like it used to be before he left.

What I love is having opinions that are controversial enough to make a lot of people mad at me but that are also so boring they have no iconoclastic charge to them at all. For example: I Get Around is the best Beach Boys song

Love is like war: It's hard, and sometimes you lose battles along the way. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't fight.

Childe decides he needs to fight.
