Death Became Him is a Genshin Impact fanfic written by Merianon.Tartaglia dies a broken man at the age of twenty-six years shortly after the last of his family is murdered. Ajax suddenly wakes up in the past when he was fourteen years old, shortly before he fell into the Abyss.Burdened by his past life and with knowledge of the upcoming future, Ajax flees his homeland and ends up in the cold and snowy mountains of Dragonspine. He lives alone in isolation, living his life day by day and haunted by his personal failures and tragedies.Until one day he literally falls on top of the Dragon of the East while exploring the ruins of old Mondstadt, striking up an odd friendship with the Abyss infected dragon.Though the story doesn't focus on the pairing, Death Became Him is a Zhongli/Ajax story. While it focuses on Ajax taking on more of a role throughout the plot of Genshin Impact alongside the Traveler's story, it also explores Ajax and Zhongli growing closer to each other without the barrier of Ajax being a member of the Fatui and affiliated with Snezhnaya. | |

Genre Savvy | |
| Death Became Him (Fanfic) / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: Realizing that Choji is immune to the Tatarigami energy, Ajax takes him back to Watatsumi Island and places him in the care of Priestess Kokomi not only because he is uncomfortable with a kid just roaming around in volatile territory by himself, but also because he fears the Fatui showing interest in him once they realize his immunity to the Tatarigami energy which could in turn end up with him being in the hands of Dottore who would have no qualms with experimenting on him despite Choji being a literal child. Dainsleif notes Aether's wisdom in having Ajax's mortal family being protected by the Abyss Order. He describes the carnage that a human turned monster Ajax had wrought when his family died and has no desire what so ever in seeing what kind of damage a god turned monster would bring should the same thing ever happen in the new timeline. | |

| Death Became Him (Fanfic) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Aether becomes the Abyss Prince in the second time line, tackling his sister out of the way just before the Unknown God captured her. Though him being a villain is questionable due to the fact that he isn’t going to the extremes that his sister did when she had been the ruler of the Abyss. | |

Death of a Child | |
| Death Became Him (Fanfic) / int_269e82c1 | comment |
Death of a Child: Teucer was the first one to be killed, lured out to the same spot where Ajax had been found after he escaped from the Abyss by the Abyss Herald who proceeded to break his neck in one clean stroke. His younger siblings Tonia and Anton were the last ones to die, having survived the fire that had killed their parents and older siblings but dying when their cart crashed because several Abyss Order members had distracted the horses pulling their carriage. | |

The Dreaded | |
| Death Became Him (Fanfic) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: Ajax sees Dottore as this considering that he knows that the Second Harbinger had been the one who successfully retrieved the Electro and Dendro Gnosis in the first timeline. His fears are well-founded in Chapter 56 when Dottore successfully ambushes him. Whatever took possession of Ajax after he's found in Dottore's labs. Everyone who laid eyes on him found themselves paralyzed in fear and in Kunikuzushi's segment, he notes that Makoto was utterly terrified as he could sense that her consciousness was trying to make itself as possible. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Death Became Him (Fanfic) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Ajax in the second timeline does not fall into the Abyss and is not corrupted and tainted by its power. Nor does he join the Fatui after his family is killed off one by one as a result of his friendship with Zhongli, causing the Tsaritsa to doubt his loyalty towards her and her cause. Turns out that it was not the Tsaritsa who had Ajax’s family killed at all though, but she is guilty of allowing the true culprits to kill them within Snezhnaya’s borders as a means of removing the distractions in her Vanguard’s life. Lumine is the Traveler in the second time line instead of her twin brother Aether. In the first time line, Lumine was the Abyss Princess and it had been under her orders that the Abyss Order murdered Tartaglia’s family. The Abyss Order under Aether's rule. While they are still working behind the scenes, they don't seem to be as antagonistic or conniving as they were under Lumine's rule. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Death Became Him (Fanfic) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: How Ajax feels about what had happened to his family and why his loyalty towards the Tsaritsa went up in flames. He believes that because he had growing feelings for the former Geo Archon, a foreign god, the Tsaritsa had his family killed one by one as punishment for his perceived betrayal despite his loyalty for her back then. It wasn't the Tsaritsa who killed them, but she did nothing to try and protect the survivors of his family from the true culprit. How Aether feels about Nahida's original fate as in canon. One of the things he changed after traveling back in time was overthrowing the original Sages who had imprisoned her in the Sanctuary of Surasthana and ensuring that she would never be locked up again. | |

As Ajax receives more and more Gnosis, he gains several multi-coloured streaks, and Kunikuzushi actually develops purple streaks showcasing he's a better fit for Electro Archon than Raiden Ei. | |

Spanner in the Works: Ajax and Aether. Because the two of them are time travelers who had already played out the events of Genshin Impact, they already know the events that will come to pass. Neither of them have any desire whatsoever to let things play out as they did in the previous timeline and therefore are constantly interfering or unraveling the plans of the Fatui who have all but declared war against the Heavenly Principles. | |

| Death Became Him (Fanfic) / int_69681e01 | comment |
Big Brother Instinct: Ajax has this in spades, which is part of the reason why he went insane at the end of his first life. Teucer's death had been the first break in his sanity and the deaths of his younger siblings Tonia and Anton had been the final nail that broke him. This is likely the reason why he angrily rebukes Aether for how he is treating his own sister despite the fact that it had been her Abyss Princess incarnation who had ruined his life in the first time line. Ajax holds this towards all younger children who remind him of his siblings, such as Choji who he had met in the turmoil lands of Inazuma. | |

Big Brother Worship: Tonia has this for Ajax as she left Snezhnaya for the sake of finding her old brother who went missing years ago. Lumine towards her older twin brother, Aether, and is absolutely devastated when he treats her coldly, bitter over her actions in the first timeline because in his opinion she got too involved in another world's affairs. Ajax angrily calls him out on his hypocrisy, being an older sibling himself who stays away from his family in fear that being associated with him will get them killed again. Especially noteable that Ajax is defending the same person who ordered the deaths of his family even if Traveler!Lumine is different than Abyss Princess!Lumine. | |

Jerkass Gods: The Tsaritsa. While she was not the one who had ordered the deaths of Ajax's family, she hadn't tried to prevent them or protect them either, hoping to get rid of the distractions in her Twelfth Harbinger's life but also keeping her hands clean of their deaths as well. | |

Shell-Shocked Veteran: After Tartaglia's life just collapses in the previous timeline, Ajax comes out of the events sadder and disillusioned with everything. When he finds himself fourteen again just before he fell into the Abyss, rather than playing out the events of his first life Ajax runs as far away as he can from Snezhnaya and isolates himself in the coldest parts of Dragonspine with the intent of staying as far away from civilization and people as he can. | |

Villain Decay | |

Villain Decay: In canon, the Fatui was one of the greatest threats throughout Teyvat due to the fact that they kept getting involved in the affairs and politics of the other six nations and undermining them all the while taking the Gnosis of each Archon. In the second timeline, the Fatui fail their original objectives due to the fact that two Time Travelers, a former Harbinger and the first Traveler who had opposed them at every turn, know their schemes and therefore can counter them. | |

Mental Time Travel | |

Mental Time Travel: Ajax remembers his time as a Harbinger and the tragedy that eventually came afterwards as a result. Aether who mentally time traveled back five hundred years ago to when he and his sister were attacked by the Unknown God and took her place as the Abyss Ruler. It had also been him who had shoved Childe's body into the Abyss and who had given him the means to travel back into the past before he had fallen into the Abyss. | |

Wham Episode: Chapter 19: Aether shows himself to Ajax and his twin sister and reveals that he is also a mental time traveler who is ruling the Abyss Order, taking over his sister's former role. Chapter 53: It turns out that what they originally thought was the Ruin's security system was actually the ghost of Al-Ahmar, King Deshret who is commonly known as the Scarlet King. Chapter 56: Ajax is successfully lured into a trap by Dottore and subdued while Gui's current body is crushed by the Second Harbinger himself. Ajax goes missing for several weeks, his connection with Zhongli muted with not even Azdaha and Nahida knowing where he is. Chapter 57: Zhongli finally finds Ajax in some abandoned ruins in the Desert, only for his eyes to snap open glowing white with Celestia's symbol embedded in his pupils before Zhongli is immediately sent flying into a wall. | |

Been There, Shaped History: Aether was the Varuna who not only helped out the Aranara previously in the past, but who had also been the one to overthrow the Sages who had originally declared the second Dendro Archon unfit to rule Sumeru and freed Nahida from her original fate. Lumine and Ajax are shocked by the revelation and as such are determined to look more into the Varuna to try and find hints and clues as to what he is up to. | |

Foreshadowing: Ajax being able to use his hydro abilities despite the fact that he lacks a Vision- in fact, his abilities ended up being stronger. Ajax being able to survive on Dragonspine all by himself. He may be used to Snezhnaya's cold winters, but Dragonspine is kept perpetually cold by the Nail that Celestia had dropped on the former civilization a long long time ago. Lumine being the Traveler in the second timeline when it was Aether in the first one is a huge red sign that things are going to be different from the first time. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| Death Became Him (Fanfic) / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: Childe, Tartaglia the eleventh harbinger, had been one of the most loyal of the Tsaritsa's soldiers in the previous timeline. But after the deaths of his family who he suspected was executed by his God because of his friendship with Zhongli, that loyalty has vanished and he no longer holds any love for his goddess. In the second timeline, he becomes one of the greatest thorns in the Fatui's side. Befriending Zhongli and preventing him from making a deal with the Fatui so that they don't get the Gnosis this time to getting the Electro Gnosis from the former sixth Harbinger, to holding three of the Gnosis that the Fatui desperately want in his body. When in the first timeline their plans seem to go off without a hitch, Ajax's presence in the second timeline has ruined a good portion of their plans already. It was the Abyss Order under the Abyss Princess' orders who had murdered Tartaglia's family one by one. In the second timeline, they are the ones protecting his family from the interest of the Fatui and ensuring their safety from parties who would do them harm. | |

All for Nothing: Ajax falls for a trap laid by the Second Harbinger and is essentially at his mercy for weeks. Had Dottore not been so obsessed with experimenting on Ajax, he could have easily taken the Gnosis that the Fatui desperately wanted to get their hands on and had them shipped over to Snezhnaya. Instead, he continues observing Ajax which results in some sort of defense mechanism triggering that results in the death of one of the Dottore clones. When two more clones are sent to retrieve the data, they are respectively killed by a pissed off Kunikuzushi who knows the truth of what happened to his friend and Aether who is not too happy that Dottore had experimented on Ajax. | |

Everyone Has Standards: While Ajax had grudgingly allowed Dottore to experiment on him when he was still a part of the Harbingers, he was not comfortable with the idea of him experimenting on others, especially children who were around Teucer's age like Chouji. Though Aether still loves his sister, her actions as the Abyss Princess in the previous timeline have left him noticeably colder towards her, something that Ajax calls him out on. | |

Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal | |

Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Because Ajax suspects that the Tsarita had a role in the deaths of his family in the first time line, he no longer holds any loyalty towards the Archon of his nation. Instead he chooses to flee from his homeland, putting as much distance between him and his old home as possible. Turns out that Tsaritsa was not responsible for the deaths of his family. However, she also did nothing to prevent the loss of his family or to protect them and according to Aether who had confronted her she had done this in hopes that Tartaglia wouldn't be distracted by his loved ones and will focus on his mission. It backfires spectacularly. | |

Screw Destiny | |
| Death Became Him (Fanfic) / int_ce75a983 | comment |
Screw Destiny: Ajax says a variation of this after he realizes that he had traveled back in time just before he had fallen in the Abyss. He has absolutely no desire to repeat what had happened in his life the first time and he chooses to flee as far away from Snezhnaya as he can, ending up in the snowy mountains of Dragonspine as far away from civilization as he can. When Aether realizes in the first timeline that he's part of what is essentially a losing war as a result of the broken system that rules over Teyvat, he decides that he has no desire whatsoever to play along any more and jumps into the Abyss to travel back in time to when it all began to change things. This actually seems like Aether's modus operantus in the second timeline: defying fate. He went back in time specifically because by the time he woke up as the Traveler, it was too late and everyone was playing a losing game. In the original timeline, Nahida was trapped and imprisoned by the Sages for five hundred years. When Aether travels back in time, Aether decides that Nahida did not deserve her original fate and overthrows the original sages who had her locked up for the 'crime' of not being as wise as the previous Goddess, Rhukkhadevata. | |

In Spite of a Nail: Aether lampshades this to Ajax when they reunite for the first time in the second timeline. He criticizes that for all the things that happened differently in the second timeline, the core of what had happened in the previous timeline never truly changed and that Ajax isn't doing enough to change the course of destiny. Dvalin was still purified even if he didn't rampage in the second timeline, Zhongli still stepped down with humanity stepping up to rule over Liyue, The Resistance and the Electro Archon still clashed and the former sixth harbinger defected... it wasn't until the heroes get to Sumeru that things are much different as Nahida was released from her imprisonment much earlier compared to canon as a result of Aether directly overthrowing the ruling Sages at the time and freeing Nahida from a fate that she didn't deserve. | |

Ajax points out that with Aether switching places with his sister and taking up the role of the Abyss Prince in place of her Abyss Princess, he has no room to talk considering he is now neck deep into the mess that is Teyvat. | |

| Death Became Him (Fanfic) / int_e35bc0f7 | comment |
Tragic Monster: What Tartaglia became in the first time line. Driven completely mad over the grief of the deaths of his family, he gave into the corruption of the Abyss and had already massacred an entire village before Aether had confronted him. In the end, though, Zhongli was forced to end his life. | |

Crash-Into Hello: In Ajax’s case it’s more along the lines of falling, but this is how meets Dvalin prior to the start of the Traveler’s journey. | |

Took a Level in Cynic | |
| Death Became Him (Fanfic) / int_f49ba6ee | comment |
Took a Level in Cynic: Aether. Whatever he saw near the end of the journey that caused him to realize that Teyvat's system was completely broken and that everyone was fighting a losing war made him colder and bitter. It doesn't help that just like his sister before him, he was awake for five hundred years ruling over the Abyss Order in her place, though compared to how Lumine had ruled he had every intention of subverting her Well-Intentioned Extremist tendencies that had kicked off the plot in the first place. | |

Love Makes You Crazy | |
| Death Became Him (Fanfic) / int_f96f8980 | comment |
Love Makes You Crazy: Al-Ahmar admits that this was what happened after the Goddess of Flowers had passed away. As in canon, he became obsessed with bringing her back to life and in doing so, turned to Forbidden Knowledge to accomplish his goal. He realizes his mistake once the aftermath is unleashed on his people and they start suffering as a result of his arrogance and his hubris. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist | |
| Death Became Him (Fanfic) / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Venti mentions that he sees the Tsaritsa declaring war against the Heavenly Principles as this. According to Word of God, Abyss Princess Lumine had absolutely no qualms with destroying anything and anyone in her goals to topple the throne of the Heavenly Principles. | |

Death Seeker: After Childe loses his entire family he no longer fears death. His only regret, however, is the fact that his death causes his murderer a great deal of pain. | |
