Fics like this is a very old story (there is no other version of this story)

“Twigs and blackbirds, snow and red horses, the ghosts floating up, the snow falling down — the detective is weeping — and the black coat. Someone has to leave first. This is a very old story. There is no other version of this story.” ― Richard Siken, The Worm King’s Lullaby Childe has a complicated relationship with time. About to depart Liyue Harbour for good after the whole 'releasing an ancient god' thing, a stress-relieving fight leaves Childe opening his eyes in a land that certainly does not look like the Liyue he left, with gods he’s pretty sure are meant to be long dead, and his crush (and recently revealed Archon) with a spear to his throat. Now Childe must fight to get back home. If only he could find the right timeline… tl;dr: Childe time travels back to the Guili Assembly and struggles to find the right timeline to get back home. Featuring some different versions of Zhongli throughout history, and Childe accidentally writing himself into the fabric of Teyvat's history
