เชโโด affection: how do they show their love and affection? หโน๊ท
Being openly affectionate is a rather difficult task for Scaramoucheโฆ though it isnโt exactly hard to understand why. Betrayal after betrayal combined with years of working beneath the Tsaritsa certainly donโt encourage emotional vulnerability, any tenderness heโd once possessed being forsaken for the sadistic persona he now proudly flaunts.
Heโd used that very faรงade of his to attempt to push you away, back when heโd still had yet to realize just how desperately he needed you in his life. Affection from Scaramouche would remain a rarity between the both of you for quite some time, even after heโd taken you into his ๊ฐalbeit forceful๊ฑ care. It was safer for him, that way. You werenโt exactly subtle with your discontentment, and the sting of abandonment wouldnโt hurt as badly if he kept you at a distance.
But when he asksโno, demands a hug from youโyouโve really got no choice but to oblige.ย
At first, heโs hesitant in the embrace, hands shakily grasping and pulling at the fabric on the back of your shirt as you hold him. Although without the need for air, the stiffness of his body made it seem as though his breath had gotten stuck in his throat, mechanical grasp erratically tightening and loosening as he attempted to adjust. Once he finally does, he absolutely refuses to allow you to pull away, keeping you still in his grip for well over a minute before he finally relents. His eyes are wet as you glance at him, a tear-stained blotch on your clothing as he hurriedly barks for you to turn away.
Despite his initial reaction, these commands for physical affection only become more and more frequent afterwardsโmuch to your distress. Beginning with those awkward hugs and culminating in full blown cuddle sessions ๊ฐone-sided as they usually are๊ฑ, Scaramouche gradually allows himself to become more and more acquainted with the softness of your touch.
Gift-giving is also a rather common habit of his. As strange as it is for him to be jealous, considering that you arenโt even allowed to sit in the manorโs garden unattended, he just canโt help but worry about you. Seeing you decorated in clothing and accessories of his choosing alleviates his worries, reminding him that youโre still his, even when he might be far away on one of the Tsaritsaโs missions.
It starts out small. A gold necklace. An intricate bracelet, the design of which mimicking the traditional Inazuman motifs found on his clothing.
But itโs not long until he has you fitted for the garments themselves, tailors indebted to the Fatui hauled over from the solitary nation to create an entirely new wardrobe. Scaramouche, of course, oversees the entire process. Not a single detail is overlooked, with him comparing different samples of designs and forcing them to start over whenever heโs displeased with one of their creations. Any attempts to get him to loosen up are met with harsh glaresโthe same reasoning repeated to you every time.ย
โTheir debts will be paid by their labor,โ heโll justify, โA mercy considering the Fatuiโs usual methodology.โ Unless they want to find a permanent residence amongst the cadavers in Dottoreโs lab, incompetence simply isnโt something heโll tolerate.
And, sure, the expense is one that causes a fair share of annoyance from the other Harbingersโespecially Pantalone, who was made to fund the operationโthough itโs hard to pay any attention to his vexed murmurs when you look so good in the finished pieces.
เชโโด regret: would they ever feel guilty about abducting their darling? หโน๊ท
Scaramouche? Feel bad? When heโs doing you such a gracious favor? Archons, now that might just be the funniest thing heโs heard in a while. In his eyes, it should really be you that feels bad. You should be sobbing at his feet, begging him to forgive you for your oh so constant insolenceโyour endless whining and complaining.
After all, how could he possibly ever expect to feel pity for the circumstances youโve found yourself in? You, whoโs currently โtrappedโ within a mansion more luxurious than you couldโve previously imagined. You, who he makes sure is both well fed and dressedโwho has countless Fatui guards at your every beck and call. You, who he specifically keeps safe from the many dangers of the world you so stupidly wish to explore. You, who he endures some of Dottoreโs more gruesome experiments forโjust so your DNA can be preserved in case of tragedy.ย
In actuality, the thought that heโd regret โtaking youโ from your โhomeโ... itโs just pathetic to him.
Youโre innocent. Naรฏve. Foolish, to be totally honest. How could you possibly hope to survive out there without his protection? Teyvat is not nearly as safe as you wish to believe, the gods that you find reprieve in oftentimes uncaring to the suffering of their believers. He knows that from experience, and yet you still refuse to believe him. Everything that heโs done is for your sake, ungrateful as you areโitโs a miracle that he hasnโt exposed you to the true nature of the world in order to stop your incessant nagging.ย
Scaramouche doesnโt even think he asks much of you, either. All that he expects you to do is sit still. Remain by his side, allow him to shower you with love and ๊ฐmore importantly๊ฑ keep you safe. Notโฆ sulking around in the room heโd prepared specifically for you, not wildly declaring that โyouโd never asked him for his protection!โโno, not at all!
So, no, he doesnโt feel any sort of remorse for his actions. What he's done is simply for your own good, and youโre simply foolish to not appreciate that. If he didnโt love you as much as he did, you wouldโve been disposed of a long time ago. At the very leastโฆ be grateful for that.
เชโโด zenith: would they ever break their darling? หโน๊ท
In a way, itโs simply an inevitability with him. Entanglement with the Fatui has rarely ever spelt out positive outcomes for those involved, something youโll learn because of Scaramoucheโs attempts to protect you. Living within his carefully constructed dollhouse doesnโt do much to dim the memories of your old life, nor does it do anything to quell the urge for freedom burning deep within your bones. Awareness of the world youโd once known and fear at the very notion of being struck beneath his control for the rest of your lifeโฆ None of it bodes well for your mental health, either.
Lacing it with the violence made common from the Fatui, or the punishments inflicted on you in hopes of finally destroying your will to escape ๊ฐwhether they be physical or mental๊ฑโitโs really no surprise to see the ambitious spark within your eyes eventually being snuffed out.
Isolation alone is already enough to drive the average person insane. With all that youโve been dealing with on top of that, itโs honestly quite commendable that it doesnโt happen sooner.
At first, Scaramouche doesnโt take this new development of yours well. Your lack of response, lack of reaction to even the cruelest insults of his being hurled at youโto even his mere presenceโit freaks him out, slipping beneath his guard and making him feel as though youโve already abandoned him. Really, how dare you not pay attention to him? Are you mad? Or is this just your latest attempt at escape? Arenโt you just trying to fool him? To make him believe that youโd learned your place just to turn around and sneak away?ย
It must be.
He doesnโt leave your side unless necessary, having his soldiers keep watch on you whenever something pulls him away. Whatever new game youโre playing at, heโs determined in his attempts to stop you before you can take a single step outside. Days turn into weeks. Weeks into months. His patience wears thin, the realization you still havenโt done anything hovering over him and sending him into frenzies. But coupled with your newfound compliance to his commands, the way that you numbly follow along with any plans he makes for the both of youโwell, heโs eventually forced to realize that you donโt even intend to try running.
As much as he finds himself enjoying your obedience, a part of him simply canโt help but miss your spark. The delicious fear that glazed over your eyes when you were caught doing something suspicious, the fits of passion that led you to stupidly defy his ordersโฆ Theyโd been aspects of youโaspects of the version of you Scaramouche initially fell in love with, the version of you that stubbornly persisted when you still had the opportunity to back away from him.
But this version of you doesnโt move away whenever he pulls you into his arms, doesnโt recoil from the touch of his fingers as if heโd somehow burnt you. This version of you doesnโt cry and beg him to go outside, doesnโt fight against him when he goes on tangents confessing his love to youโoccasionally grants him the chance to hear an โI love you, too.โ slipping past your lips.
Ultimatelyโฆ thatโs good enough for him.
i have a taglist, which you can sign up for here!
(yandere! ex x gn! reader) (thought of this in the shower and thought it would be funny)
it had been five long dreadful days since you last talked to him.
five.
full.
days.
your ex boyfriend thought that it was finally time to break the silence and embrace your presence again. unfortunately, you had blocked him on all platforms and even got a restraining order on him. like, you've blocked him before but not a restraining order!
you even got all dramatic and said you wanted to break up!
...again.
he honestly thought it was a little cute. like aw... you wanted a break again! okay, because he loves you so much he'll give you another one! like you obviously meant break up as in separate for a bit then go back! like as always!
so... why haven't you contacted him at all?
he's itching and clawing at his walls just waiting for you to text him. but no, nothing. zero. absolute silence.
all the blocking and restraining orders weren't just to get his attention?
...
but he doesn't care haha! why should he care? you're just being a little dramatic again. this is how it's always been. he knows you just feel neglected, so of course you're just doing this for attention!
oh! he knows what to do!
that's right! he should show up with gifts and coddle you in kisses! like always!
that's why, he's patiently waiting for you to return back home... with tons of jewellery and cash laid on the ground. how did he get in, you ask? well obviously he has a spare key to your home! yeah yeah, he knows you haven't actually given him a new key and that you changed your lock two days ago but it was so painfully easy to just copy your key!
he couldn't just not make a copy, could he? you know he has to have access to you at all times! he gets antsy when he doesn't!
ah, your door is opening!
he grins happily, giggling excitedly as he sits by your couch, looking at the door in excitement.
"darling! i missed you!"
he moans, cheeks flushed as he stares at your stunned figure. however, his happiness gets replaced by worry as you slip on the money he laid down your hallway. oops... maybe he shouldn't have flooded your house in cash?
"darling! oh no... sre you alright?"
he pouts, immediately rushing to your side as he brushes the money away from your body. ah look at you! your face is all terrified... you must've been so so scared without him, weren't you?
"i promise I won't leave you again... just look at you!"
he mumbles, shaking his head disapprovingly as he picks you up and expertly maneuvers his way through your cash flooded apartment.
"what would you do without me?"
he sighs, cradling you to his chest as he sits on your couch and begins wiping away his faux tears with a wad of cash. that's right! what would you do without him? you were just so fragile and helpless! you'd suffer without his protection! he swears never to leave you alone again!
meanwhile, you were just silently smashing your head against the wall. god, your escape attempt failed again! maybe you should just escape to a foreign country next time. hm, maybe you should change your name to josh and alter your appearance too.
yandere aventurine would be very manipulative towards you. he knows his ways with words and knows how to string them together for you to do something for him. his manipulation, in his eyes, is to keep you safe and sound and to be near him. and him alone. during arguments, he would most likely manipulate the situation, gaslighting you if necessary, but he would break if he saw you crying during the dispute...then quickly apologize. your feelings matter, but what mattered most to him was having you, and you alone.
"i don't understand why you seem to be upset. you seem to be misunderstanding the situation, and you must be a bit out of it today, love. why don't you sit down for a bit? i'll grab you some food while you're at it."
yandere aventurine is very protective of you, but if anything, he's possessive. he's the wealthiest man in his own eyes, and through the realms of penacony, some are desperate for any change, especially through the dreamscape. if anyone bothered you, whether it be a man, female or whatever they wish to identify themselves, he would bribe them with wealth to get away from you...but if worst came two worst, he would kill them. how? out of sight, out of mind. and if you questioned it?
"ah, i'm not quite sure what happened. i believe they wanted to go elsewhere. worry not, my dear. let's go enjoy the scene of penacony."
yandere aventurine would stalk you. he would follow you everywhere. and you wouldn't notice. and if you were too far? well, he would just watch you through his phone, admiring you, and making sure that you are safe...and that nobody is even looking in your direction. if you suddenly got up while the both of you were slumbering in way in bed, he would stop you.
"where are you going? why? why are you leaving m- ...ah, to the restroom? alright."
hi hi!
I love ur writing sm tbh, itโs just so heartwarming and FLOOFY
could I pls request headcanons of all the harbingers being the caretakers of kitsune child reader (platonic obviously)
like one day the tsaritsa just tells them they have to look after this fox child she found
just fluffy and soft stuff๐ฅบ
if there are too many characters, feel free to add less if youโd like, I honestly donโt mind
(theyโre pretty similar to how miko looks and they can also turn into a tiny Fox)
sos if this is a confusing request
thanks in advance! have a wonderful day/noon/night <33
synopsis: The Tsaritsa orders her Harbingers to take care of a kitsune child she found. Fluff ensues as they all platonically grow fond of you.
includes: all eleven fatui harbingers w/ gn! child! reader
notes: Platonic stuff and found family is so cute! Thank you for this request and your words, it was so cute. I hope you like this!
All of them are initially cautious at first. Why would a kitsune be in Snezhnaya? Were you actually a spy and just pretending? But the Tsaritsa seemed to take a liking to you, so they were all required to do their part. (Little did they know they would all end up adopting you.)
Pierro:
At first, he keeps you around because of the Tsaritsaโs orders. But since you are naturally curious, you would follow him around at all times which would melt his heart and make him remember his own youth. Pierro would play chess with you. Kitsune are very intelligent and he would want to bring this out of you slowly. Would sometimes lose on purpose if youโre getting upset though. (Heโs shocked if you call him an old man.)
The kind of caretaker who would sit you down on his lap and read you bedtime stories. He has a deep raspy voice thatโs useful for when they need to put you to bed. I also think this man is very stressed and your fox form would make him feel a lot more relaxed.
Capitano:
I personally think heโd be really soft with animals and they love him in return. So heโd secretly love your fox form. Capitano takes elite care of your fur, ears, and hair. (Imagine you sleeping on top of his head or shoulders while he gives out orders and the Fatui soldiers are struggling to keep a straight face.)
He is your silent protector. Would trail behind you as you run around the Fatui headquarters. When youโre talking to any soldier, he would stand menacingly behind you as a warning to everyone else to not say anything inappropriate to you. Capitano would give you piggyback rides, lift you up into the air, let you hang off his arm, and do any other fun activities. He really treasures how youโre not scared of him at all, and would protect you at any cost.
Columbina + La Signora:
Columbina and La Signora would team up to do your hair. You would have matching rose buns like Signora by the end of it. The two of them would have the best and cutest clothes for you. The three of you probably have fashion shows and an actual runway. They have hats specially made to fit with your ears.
I just know Columbina knows the best spots for naps and scenery. She would take you to her favorite spots and hum a simple tune for you until both of you fall asleep. La Signora would take on a more motherly role. She wants to know about your day and what you learned while she combs out any knots.
Dottore:
To be honest, the other Harbingers endeavor to keep your time with him limited because of his past actions. Dottore doesnโt care much for kids anyway so this is fine to him. But if you continuously seek him out heโll begrudgingly deal with your presence. Honestly the worst caretaker out of everyone because he has no idea what to do. What do kids like to do? What do they eat? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Itโs making his head spin. Passes you off to his clones who research guides on how to deal with kids. They slowly adapt and teach him later.
Might allow you to attach one of his earrings to your ear, but you take it off rather quickly, complaining itโs too heavy for you. You would also copy his maniacal laugh so whenever Dottore laughs they have a mini you following after. Similar to Sandrone, he might teach you about invention and different kinds of science.
Pulcinella:
The best grandpa who knows every trick in the book. Whenever the Harbingers are at a loss on how to take care of you, they bring you to him and heโs got it under control in a matter of minutes. He wants to know who you are hanging out with and if theyโre a bad influence on you. Pulcinella knows when to be strict and when not to. Gives the other Harbingers in-depth caretaking lessons whether they like it or not (especially Dottore.)
He would make sure you have memories of everyone you cherish. Kitsune live so much longer than a human and he doesnโt want you to forget anyone who raised you. Gives you a Kamera and helps you to make scrapbooks of everything you take pictures of.
Scaramouche:
There were always rumors that the Balladeer was soft around the children and elderly but no one quite believed it until they saw him interacting with you. Initially tried to avoid you because he didnโt want others to see an adorable kitsune child following him. Eventually gave in but kept the fake grumpy facade up so others wouldnโt get the wrong idea.
You probably remind him of Inazuma. Introduces you to Inazuman cuisine and wants to take you there someday. He probably knows kitsune folklore as well so he would retell it to you. He secretly finds it cute when you try on his hat but it covers you completely because youโre so tiny. Scaramoucheโs temper is reduced while youโre around because he doesnโt want to make you upset. Whenever you ask him to do something he always acts like itโs a chore for a few seconds but immediately gets a Fatui agent on the job.
Heโs a puppet who is probably going to live as long as you, so he silently vows to watch over you and protect you always.
Arlecchino:
Arlecchino is around children daily in her orphanage but that doesnโt necessarily mean sheโs great with them. After all, sheโs raising them to be warriors and soldiers, not babysitting them. But that doesnโt mean sheโs bad either. Arlecchino could pick up on your cues easily - she knows when youโre hungry or pretending to be sick, or when youโre actually tired. Sheโs still not the most in tune with emotions though so she leaves that up to the other Harbingers. Arlecchino would still be helpful with your health though.
She would let you play with the other orphans because it seems to brighten their days (hers as well.) She seems cold and a bit angry at times but your cheerfulness brightens her day.
Pantalone:
He knows what itโs like to be abandoned so he would feel for you. You would be utterly pampered by him. Bubble baths, rubber duckies, any toys you want, the most exquisite of shampoos and conditioners for your ears. He would make sure you receive a proper education and access to any activities you desire. Pantalone would make sure you never left wanting.
He would teach you how to manage money at a young age. Youโll probably never need it but he likes the idea of teaching you something he wished he knew as a child.
Sandrone:
She doesnโt care much at first. Sure, her interest is a bit peaked, but sheโll soon forget about you when sheโs busy with her Automatons. That is, until she finds out you somehow snuck into her lab and curiously inspected some of her most dangerous robots. Immediately removes you from the premises.
She doesnโt want to involve you in the more cruel and deadly aspect of her work so instead, sheโll help you to create a small robot for yourself. She does most of the work but shows you some fundamental mechanical skills and secretly hopes youโll take an interest in engineering.
Sews a kitsune doll for you so you can cuddle it to sleep. Sandrone has different robots created that teach you basic skills like reading, writing, math, etc. Even when she or any of the Harbingers are not around with you, you have her robots to play games with and keep you company.
Childe:
Probably the best caretaker besides Pulcinella. Childe already has multiple little siblings so he knows exactly what to do. However, he has little restraint when it comes to spoiling you which separates him from Pulcinellaโs stricter attitude. Childe would cook your favorites with ease but also introduce you to his favorite Snezhnayan dishes. He would comb out your fluffy hair and ears while keeping you occupied with various Snezhnayan stories.
Childe would not want you to fight. He is the protector and defender of childhood dreams so he would encourage you to do what you find fun (and would fund anything you need.) Even though you already know heโs in the Fatui, he wouldnโt tell you anything else about his job because he wants to shield you from harm.
He would introduce you to Teucer and his family quickly. His siblings marvel over your appearance and would play with you often. Ajax understands quite well how it feels to be lonely so he would want you to have strong bonds. Would even allow you to live with his family full time or have sleepovers if you wished.
imagine a child male reader whos siblings w scaramouche and was also abandoned so they only had eachother and encountered many people throughout their lives (fatui, traveler, that little kid who passed away, etc..). i can only imagine the heartbreak everytime scara gets hurt bc of the betrayals throughout ur travels and how the reader is tryibg his best to comfort him since hes still young and doesnt fully grasp the situation theyre both in idkk
srry for being specific i just rlly like sibling stuff ๐ญ๐ญ
เฑจเง โ๏ฝกห scaramouche x m!brother!reader , angst and fluff , comfort and reverse comfort .
เฑจเง โ๏ฝกห reader and scaramouche slowly age throughout the book, so keep that in mind.
the wanderer and his little brother apart is a sight nome of the seven nations have ever witnessed. wherever one is, the other is trailing behind either with excitement, worry, concern or grumpiness trailing their figures. the wanderer loves his little brother more then anything and everything in this shithole and that has never changed, nor will it ever change.
upon the creation of kunikuzishi, raiden ei (or โmotherโ) had encountered an โissueโ that might be solved if he had something instinctual to protect. kunikuzushi was a gentle soul, and while he loved his mother more then life as he knew it, if he was so weak that he could not hold the gnosis then what was all this for?
and so, the creation of the second kunikuzushi was in production.
โ(y/n)โ she had named you. you loved your name, you loved your mother who gave you your name and most of all, you loved your big brother kunikuzushi. he was your everything, and for awhile raiden eiโs plan had seemed to have succeeded.
kunikuzushi was getting stronger, he was overcoming his sensitivity and his ability to cry at every given scenario. she thought she had finally done it.
until she realised, it was all a massive lie.
she had caught you coddling your teary eyes big brother near the shine, cradling his head against your little chest and combing his hair in hopes his tears would cease. you could sense your mothers presence and you knew if she found out that he was still as vulnerable as the day of your creation, it would have major concequences.
the gods werenโt in your favour, to put it lightly.
wandering the ever so lonely woods of inazuma, you and your brother faced two more instances in which would eventually trigger his switch.
the first? a simple blacksmith that had taken you both in. he was another good soul, cheerful beyond belief and a truly comforting person to be around.
he taught your brother the craft of weaponry. he taught your brother it is okay to be vulnerable at times and for awhile, you truly believed that you had found someone who cared about you enough to love you and your brother for who you truly were.
that dream died alongside his once genuine love for you both, riddled with fear of the both of you.
kunikuzushiโs tears echoed through your ears that night, it was so loud you couldnโt even hear the rain that was ever so loudly crashing against the two of you. his body was small and shrunken, and you didnโt know how you could help. your little mind may be synthetic, but it does not mean that you comprehend things as an adult would.
you only hoped holding your big brother against you and hiding your own tears would comfort him enough to stop crying.
you couldnโt stand his tears, they broke your little heart.
the last was a young boy, only a few years younger then your current mortal state.
raiden ei claimed that to keep kunikuzushiโs guard, she would have your body ever so slightly age, until you would stop abruptly by the time your form would hit 14. this would match up with kunikuzushi as his body would go from the form of an 18-22 year old physique.
this boy was once more, a very loving being. he was full of love and wonder about the world, seeing everything as an opportunity and a blessing.
your little head couldnโt comprehend his views until it was far too late for blessings or miracles.
there, lying lifeless and devoid of emotion, going everything against you knew of the boy he lay.
CLICK
you attempted to grasp your big brothers hand, but you did not see a boy who once more needed comfort, all you could see was pure loathing.
you didnโt see your big brother in that moment. you saw a stranger in the skin of kunikuzushi. his tears were not in need of wiping, in fact no tears were to be wiped at all.
you lost your brother that day, and it would be a long while before you would see him once more.
in a sense, you lost yourself that day as well, you no longer felt that out in your stomach that lingered endlessly. only a cold numbness filled the gaping hole in which a heart should lay wishing your chest.
by the time you had reached the fatui, the both of you were completely different people.
scaramouche was cold and sharped tongued, and as for yourself? you were reserved and shrunken. you had both completed the aging process that ei had implemented for the two of you, and it was as clear as day.
you had gotten ever so slightly taller, your hair a little longer and your frown weighed heavy on your lips.
your big brother was still as short as ever, but his face was no longer chubby and round. he was sharp and cold, a glare that never disappeared unless iโm the presence of one person.
you.
you hated the fatui. you hated how they treated you and your brother. unlike the humans, they didnโt even bother to pretend to care for either of your well-beingโs. you were scared of most, not daring to make any form of contact with any of them. there was only one harbinger that ever spoke to you of his own volition.
tartaglia.
an annoying redhead who treated you as if you were his own kin. that alone had scaramouche seething in his seat. who was this filthy mortal and how DARE he treat HIS little brother as his own? this had the balladeer absolutely livid and so for the sake of your dear brother, you did your very best to escape the mortals clutches.
as his time in the fatui progressed, you soon found yourself truly taking on the roll as his little brother. you seemed to be the one who was there for him, never much the other way around.
of course thatโs not to say he wasnโt there, it was just normally him who needed you more then you needing him. you were the one with him against your chest, not the other way around, and honestly you never cared too much. heโs you brother, why shouldnโt you be there for him?
you didnโt realise just how sad that fact had made your big brother until it had genuinely switched.
scaramouche, as you now seemed to have to adresse him as, not once even entertained the idea of you becoming a full blown fatui member. you simply sat in his office and kept him company throughout his everyday chores and when he went in missions? you rested in his quarters until he came back.
the fatui knew of your immortality and the fact you were not human, and henceforth never bothered to check in on you, not that you cared much.
the doctor struck fear in you that you couldnโt quite comprehend and columbina was almost too cheery to be trusted. the knave seemed interested in you, however you soon came to understand she ran an orphanage and decided she was only looking for a potential member of the hearth. the rest of them never much interacted with you and you therefore have no good or bad opinion on them, all you knew is that you could only trust yourself and your big brother in this hellhole.
you had lost count on how many days it had been since you escaped the clutches of the fatui, but you couldnโt care less. you were with your big brother and he had you, and thatโs all you needed in life.
scaramouche thought different.
he wanted to laugh in the faces of the mortals and god who wronged his brother and himself, to mortify the deities and to have the humans begging at his feet. he wanted absolute power, and he had finally obtained the key item to acquire this dream of his.
had anyone asked you if you feared your brother kunikuzushi, you would have laughed in their face. if someone asked you if you feared your brother scaramouche, even just slightly, you could not give an answer.
you were yet to meet this โdamned blonde runtโ that your brother so very much despised, however you could only hope in a time like this, she might just be able to save your big brother. he claims she is nothing but a pathetic little worm that he could easily discard by the time he reaches divinity, however you had heard of the deeds she had performed for the other nations of teyvat, and you had a feeling she was going to do the same thing for sumeru.
your feelings were correct.
your big brother was falling, and there wasnโt anything you could do about it. he told you to not interfere by the time lumine came, to stay hidden in order to protect you from exposure. to protect himself from people who would use his little brother to exploit him.
too bad you love him a bit too much to allow him to fall like this. he had just quite literally lost his heart right after gaining it, and the pure horror within his vocal cords as he begged the archon of dendro to spare his heart was heavy on your little ears. you couldnโt take it any longer.
โKUNIKUZUSHI NOโ you pleaded, you begged the girls to help your brother, however they just watched as he fell lifelessly. so, as youโve always done and will continue to do, you ran to him.
he only mumbled a โget away from meโ and a โwhat if they see you?โ before he finally fell into unconsciousness, and that was the last straw.
all you felt in your body was a frozen and bitter hatred. you felt disappointed. wasnโt this supposed to be the ever caring saviour of teyvat? the girl who makes friends with the snap of her fingers and fights to protect ALL??
all you saw was a fake, a fraud.
ice shot out from the bottom of your heels, icing the entirety of the floors around the workshop. you were screaming.
the room was slowly icing itself around you as you held your unconscious brother in your arms. the panic was visible in the travellers companions voice, freaking out that theyโre trapped in the room and that the ice is closing in, however you could only feel your imaginary heart beating harshly within your chest, pounding on your synthetic rib cage and begging to be released from the clutches of ice growing within it.
the only thing you heard before your body collapsed was a gentle tune, a tune of true harmony.
you awoke to the soft breathing of your brother next to you, seemingly in a blissful rest. instinctively, you raised your body and clutched him tightly, startling him awake. you took in your surroundings before letting him go, him reluctantly sitting up and grasping your shoulder, slouching on you.
in came the little nahida, with a tray of tea and some traditional sumerian snacks on the side.
โyouโre finally awake you two! iโve been waiting for the both of you for ages!โ her little singalong voice chimed, puffy cheeks graced with a warm smile. you and kunikuzushi share a glace at eachother, almost in a โwhat the fuck are we doing here?โ kinda look. the young archon took note of your confusion and decided to explain.
โwe rescued the both of you from the doctors clutches and have been nursing you back to health! after (y/n) had gained his cryo vision, another vision slowly descended and rested on the chest of the balladeer. the anemo vision seemed to swirl a warm breeze around the both of you as the ice spread as the room started to freeze in on itself. thankfully, i was able to get everyone out uninjured, however we had unfortunately encountered the 2nd fatui harbinger, also known as the doctor. he claimed the fatui had ownership over the both of you and wanted both you and the gnosis, however i bargained that as long as he shut down all his twins, as well as giving us the both of you, he could have both of the gnosisโ i possessed!โ
nahida seemed almost too cheery, however you refused to comment on it. all you did was squeeze your bothers free hand as he held you protectively, his guard instinctively high in the presence of a god. smiling softly to yourself for the first time in forever, you rested on the shoulder of your big brother.
you were finally in safe hands.
sumeruโs most notable duo, the young wanderer and (y/n) explore around the lands together, hand in hand. one in his early 20s and the other in his teenage years. though they never seem to age, sumeru does not question it. the elder with a sharp tongue and the younger apologising profusely for his big brothers harsh words. the elder studying in the akedemiya under the request of the lesser lord, and the younger encouraging him to do his best.
the elder keeping his guard up so the younger can finally enjoy his everlasting youth, after giving it up for so many years for the sake of himself. hand in hand, kunikuzushi knew you two would finally be able to rest.
just the two of you, until the end of time. <3

ห๊ฐโก๊ฑโง Hi there! Before you read this, you should know that English is not my first language Hope you enjoy!
Oh lord. He's a sadistic yandere. The type that I hate the most. He's honestly one of the worst yanderes in the game. Why would you even want him as your yandere?
Scaramouche thinks you're stupid. So, so stupid. You really believe this world is beautiful, don't you? You think it's worth it? You believe there are good things to be thankful for? You believe in gods?
That's why you're always smiling, isn't it? That's why you're not scared of him? That's why you're so happy? What a stupid, stupid human.
But he'll show you. He'll show you why you shouldn't trust blindly. Why this world is cruel. Why there's only disgusting things in this world. Why no one answers your prayers.
Oh, does it hurt? Did he broke your wrist? Are you crying? Does the little baby want her mommy? Too bad she's stuck with him, right?
How about your legs? Do they hurt badly? How does it feel? How much does it hurt? It must hurt so much, right?
Then why are you smiling through your tears? Why are you trying to reach him? Why are you caressing his face? Why are you telling him it's okay? That you're fine?
Huh? What is this? What is this feeling? Why are his eyes blurring? What's this? Why are his cheeks wet? What's that look on your face? Why does everything hurt so much?
Don't touch him! Don't fucking touch him with your filthy hands! It's your fault. It's all your fucking fault. If you hadn't smiled at him, if you hadn't tried to help him the first time, this wouldn't have happened.
But that's okay. That's okay. He just has to try harder. He just has to push you harder. To hurt you more.
What's wrong now? Why are you quiet? Shouldn't you be smiling? You said it didn't hurt, right? You said you were fine, right? Then why aren't you smiling now?
It's funny. See! You're not smiling anymore. He was right! He won! Now he's the one who can't stop laughing.
But... but if he won, why isn't he happy? Why are his eyes burning? Why are his hands shaking? Why can't he force his body to move?
The smell of blood disgusts him. His fingers dig into your cheeks as he forces your head up. Your once beautiful face is now marred with bruises and scars. Your clothes, soaking with blood, cling to your body like a second skin. He can clearly see the scars, the bruises, the broken bones that stick out of your fleshโeverything. He can see everything.
He should be happy, right? Wasn't that what he wanted? He wanted to break you, right? He wanted to destroy your smile, right?
He softly unlocks the chains around your broken wrists, and your body collapses to the ground, as if you're dead.
He kneels down and wraps his arms around your fragile body. He buries his nose in your knotted hair and tries to calm himself down. But his tears just keep falling, and now you no longer wipe them away.
He presses his forehead to yours, his lips trembling. "I'm sorry," he whispers, the words foreign and bitter on his tongue. "I'm so sorry."
What has he done?

scaramouche + "won't you kiss me already? please, my lord?"
note: yandere, cheekiness, the audacity of it all
"No, no,โ he says, voice thin and impatient.ย โNot like that.โ He huffs, and you suddenly remember an old schoolteacher you had, who used to rap studentโs palms with a stick when they were displeased. At least lord Scaramouche has no such stick.ย โYouโre saying them like some schoolchild forced to read lines.โย
You, kneeling on a cushion, twist the fabric of your robes in your hand. Not out of anxiety, because you are far past feeling it today, but out of boredom. Heโs been at this for far too long.ย
โI donโt know how you would like me to say it, my lord.โย
His eyes roll until youโre sure theyโll stick in the back of his head. Youโre about to tell him so, when he continues.ย
โAre you daft? Say it like youโre in love.โ He pauses.ย โNo, more than that. You need to sound enamored. Obsessed.โย
You sigh, dryly, and let the long folds of your sleeves drop in boredom.ย
โAnd why must I do this again?โย
Itโs only to Scaramouche that you would ever dare speak so boldly, so casually, lacking the reverence expected of a handmaiden in your station.ย
He snorts through his nose.ย
โIsnโt it obvious? To show those other imbeciles that I have you. That Iโm the one you chose.โ He smirks a little, taunting.ย โOr do you pretend not to notice how they looked at you, before?โ
You donโt point out that he chose for you, having petitioned the Tsaritsa to have you transferred to his service. A handmaiden, a servant, a lover--whatever you were to him, exactly. You werenโt sure if it was difficult to tell, or if Scaramouche himself didnโt exactly know.ย
Instead, you rise--without being prompted, cheeky thing--and take his unsuspecting hands in yours. His fingers twitch, just enough for you to notice.ย
โIf you want someone to sound in love, enamored, andย obsessed, my lord,โ you say, letting a flicker of a smile grace your expression.ย โPerhaps you should do the talking.โย
Hear me out, plat yan Scaramouche with a darling who got hurt by others before, therefore she only trusts him. Scaramouche was happy since he didn't have to do the dirty work of getting darling to rely on him, but the happiness was short-lived until he found out that his darling caught Pantalone's attention. Plat yan Scara being protective and possessive, and a really jealous Pantalone since darling clings to Scaramouche for comfort. โญ
Omg it would be absolute chaos ๐ญ๐ญ
I can see Scara and darling just going out to spend the day together and Pantalone showing up out of the blue and trying to butt in. And then he insists on buying literally everything to try and show off to darling and Scara simply not having it ๐ญ
They would walk in a line with Scara in the middle as a physical barrier between Pantalone and darling and anytime Pantalone speaks, Scara is interrupting him or answering for darling. And the whole conversation between those two would be so passive aggressive, fake smiles and all. They donโt wanna upset or make darling uncomfortable by starting a fight in the middle of the street, but thatโs not gonna stop them from throwing thinly veiled insults at each other at every opportunity
To scaramouche: Since I'm just a kind of doll to you why don't I sleep on the shelf? Oh... sorry! I completely forgot you can't reach there ^^
"..."
His eye twitches. To say that you were on thin ice around Scaramouche was an understatement; youโd sooner brave traversing a frozen lake than dealing with your volatile captor. The wooden floorboards groan in protest of his rapid approach. Scaramouche stalks toward you, his lips pulled into a grimace, and his posture rigid.ย
He grabs your collar and pulls you down.ย โDolls are supposed to sit there and look pretty, in silence. The grating sound of your voice ruins the effect beyond repair.โย
In for a penny, as they say.ย
โSo you find me pretty?โ You inquire, paying little mind to how his nostrils flare in exasperation with yourย unruliness. Thereโs little he can do to make your life more miserable than it already is. While you have enough wits about you to not send him on a rampage, that doesnโt mean you wonโt test the boundaries. Youโd twirl your hair to add insult to injury if your arms would stop shaking.ย
โWhy else would I tolerate your deplorable personality?โย
Itโs not like he has much room to be talking. The Fatui agents assigned to watch over you shrink away in silent confirmation, knowing full well what hell awaits them if the Harbinger decides to unleash his boiling rage. Theyโre collateral damage just waiting to happen. Underneath their masks, youโd wager theyโre sending you pleading looks, begging you to stop while you were ahead.ย
The dark aura oozing off of Scaramouche is enough to deter you from trying your luck again.ย
โI swear,โ his fist tightens around the fabric of your outfit.ย โIโve never met someone so incapable of using their head. Try giving it a shot, will you?โย
You want nothing more than to roll your eyes at his petty insults.ย
Scaramouche releases you and brushes his hands against his shorts.ย โThat wasnโt a suggestion, Iโve had just about enough of that tongue of yours. This is the only warning Iโll give.โย
[ scaramouche x child!reader ]
summary: whenever scaramouche looks at the young child that always stood idly beside him, he is reminded of a certain fledgling that he once lost.
notes: had a sudden burst of writing juice because of the scara cutscene that broke my heart, tis my usual platonic shit agenda lesgo | m.list
words: 972 | warnings: a lil rushed because i typed this while at work LHASHAHAHAHA also mentions of dead pipol lmao
"what the fuck."
scaramouche stares in disbelief, jaw slacked and furrowed eyes pointed at the small cocoon of blanket on the couch in his office. your fluff of hair is disheveled, eyes unusually puffy and teary rather than dull. the small trail of sheen on your cheeks confirms his suspicion.
the unfeeling stray he picked out from the wilderness of inazuma is crying.
he had not seen you express a single emotion other than conflict, anger and bloodlust before, so for you to be cryingโaloneโit's safe to say that the balladeer is undeniably bamboozled.
"what are you wasting tears for, brat?"
maybe he should have been a little softer when approaching children in theirโฆ vulnerable state. but honestly speaking, scaramouche doesn't exactly know if that applies to you. children under the wing of the fatui aren't exactly normalโespecially, children who can wipe out a whole team of fatus. nonetheless, you are still a young fledgling, exposed to the truth of this world where the gods are cruel and being weak does not equal to survival.
you remind him so much of kunikuzushi.
he grimace at the reflection, a parallel that coaxed him into taking your battered form under his wingโan unbelievable truth, as much as he denies it.
"i lost the bunny."
"the what?"
he crouches in front of the couch, forearms on his knees with an exasperated look on his face, though his feelings are far from the expression plastered on display. he has an inkling about what's upsetting you, now that he looks over you once more.
you and that thing are practically inseparable.
"i lost the bunny you gave me."
and by bunny, you meant the stuffed bunny he gave you a few months after he plucked you from the wild.
the one scaramouche gave because the first time he saw you was when you were blankly staring at the lifeless bunny on the ground. it died from the aftermath of a wild goose chase. a few weeks before he found you, fatuis and random nobushis would turn up dead in the wilderness of inazuma. it infuriated scaramouche. camps upon camps of fatus would be thrown into disarray and their rations are emptied. when he sent his underlings after the perpetrator, they'd fail to come back with good news. worse, they won't come back at all. he'd come upon them sprawled on the dirty ground somewhere else, dead.
so he went after the menace himself.
that's when he found you in the middle of a fatui camp, his underlings basically useless at this point, slumped on the ground and the poor innocent bunny in front of you. it's later then after he apprehended you that he found out that you were protecting the tiny mammal.
you were just a kid trying to survive in a world filled with monsters, strong enough to protect yourself but helpless and clueless when it comes to the life of others.
when his eye caught sight of a ragged stuffed bunny in an abandoned village, he grabbed it on impulse, faltering only when he was about to hand the now clean stuffed bunny that he stitched up himself. despite being confused as fuck, he casually tossed the thing at you, telling you that it's of no use to him and that you should act like a kid more because your indifference is creeping him out.
he prefers you over any kid by the way. don't tell him i told you.
"i'm sorry," his eye twitched, irritated at how you seemed to be so bothered. it's just a random stuffed bunny, nothing great about it. but he supposes that for someone at your age and comprehension, it must've meant something special for you.
and it does, a lot.
"it's just a toy."
"you gave me that bunny."
he sighed audibly, rolling his eyes before pushing himself to full height, arms crossed.
"it's not the only stuffed bunny in the world, idiot."
"it's the one you gave me. i don't want just any stuffed bunny."
now this, caught him off guard.
you seemed to be genuinely sad about losing the bunny, an expression he only saw on the day you first met. the same look on your face when you failed to protect something you deemed precious. if you're directing such sentimentality towards the stuffed bunny, then you must've really loved it.
more so because it came from him.
scaramouche is brought back to centuries past, an image of a different child flashing before his eyes.
he feels his chest tighten, but he dares not linger at the thought.
"look, you little gremlin," scaramouche grumbled, masking this unfamiliar feeling with exasperation and irritationโhe dares not display such thing. "we can just get you a new one and it would still come from me. who the hell do you think provides for you, huh? me, no one else."
he sees your eyes brightened in the slightest, now facing him. he can literally imagine an invisible tail wagging with how you seemed to perked up. another unfamiliar sight, but not unwelcomed. if anything, it's going to be what he thinks of for the next few weeks, unbeknownst to him.
"but how about the one i lost?"
"forget it, it's ragged anyway," he gestures you to follow. "move your little feet, we have places to be and things to do."
the sound of your feet trailing behind him is something he would come to love listening to. that and the slight tug on his sleeves where your little hand naturally clutches around.
a week passes, you found a pristine white bunny in your quarters. it looks different from the one you used to have, but the stitches are familiar and the small electro symbol on its torso is one that you will not mistake for a different person's handiwork.
