How the scene where Childe saves our asses after the Rite of Descension shitstorm would go if it were my boi Sol instead of canon Aether (WARNING: CRACK)

Consider this a sneak peek of a WIP. This is too hilarious in my head that I can’t stop smiling like an idiot whenever I think of it so I am going to inflict this on you people.

The fic is exactly what it says in the title.

Enjoy.

.

Childe watched in amusement from his perch on a roof as the interesting Traveler, his flying fairy(?) companion, and the green bard presumed to be Barbatos tried to sneak past the Millelith, and failed, when the bard stepped loudly on a piece of tile.

The Millelith were immediately on them like wolves on a hunt.

The bard somehow managed to still rhyme while swearing when running from the guards.

He watched as they dashed down a flight of stairs for a lower landing, only for a group of Millelith guards to rush up the other flight of stairs, effectively surrounding them in a pincer attack.

He watched as the Traveler turned in a circle, fully registering their trapped situation; as the bard and the fairy whimpered in fear; as the Millelith inched closer with weapons unsheathed, boxing them in.

He wondered if he should jump in to help. Getting the Traveler indebted to him is good and all, but considering the circumstances of their previous meeting…… maybe not.

At least let them feel despair for a bit longer.

The Traveler’s hand shot out and grabbed the fairy, who screamed.

The bard too screamed when the Traveler scooped his legs up into a princess carry.

Fairy clutching his scarf and screaming bard in his arms, the Traveler turned towards the side of the landing leading to a three-storey drop, and ran.

Wha- Childe’s mind blanked out for a moment when the Traveler jumped onto the railing and boosted off it into the air.

Both bard and fairy were screaming.

The Traveler snapped open his glider wings before his upwards momentum ran out.

The wings caught the wind and suddenly the Traveler and his companions were free from the Millelith’s encirclement and immediate death by falling.

The bard was screaming like a damsel in distress.

Childe watched in stunned silence with the MIllelith as the Traveler landed on a green-tiled roof, retracted his wings, ran at the edge and boosted off it, and repeated his death-defying feat of opening his wings in midair at the top of his arc.

The bard was still screaming.

“VENTI SHUT THE FUCK UP!!” Childe heard the Traveler yell.

The Millelith regained their senses when the Traveler landed on the second roof and went off to give chase.

Childe blinked once, twice.

What?!

.

Yes Venti is a little shit screaming the whole while.

Yes Venti followed Sol to Liyue. I think Sol would be that kind of person to pester Venti into following him to properly introduce him to Rex Lapis.

The “previous meeting” mentioned involved Sol almost successfully stabbing Childe. So yeah Childe is not too happy to help.
