epilogue

scaramouche x g!n reader

notes: still in the future, tw: fluff, suggestive content, this is just a little smth to wrap the au up neatly

You exchange smiles and polite nods as you make your way past the staff and fellow actors backstage, clutching your award in your hands against your chest. There was residue sweat stuck on your face from the fluorescent lights of the arena and your mouth was dry from all the speeches you did. But you had your mind on one thing, better yet one person. Your fiancé whom you hadn’t seen in a week due to opposing schedules was finally under the same roof as you and the night was nearing its end before he was swept away on yet another flight.

After what feels like a stressful eternity you finally spot a tuft of indigo hair in the distance making its way to sneak into a dressing room to get away from socializing. Typical.

You maneuver your way through, catching the door with your heel and slipping into the dressing room. You look around, it was barren. You narrow your eyes, had you gone insane from not seeing your lover for so long you were hallucinating him?

Just as you were about to turn around to leave disappointedly you felt a pair of arms snake their way around your waist and a firm chest press against your back.

“Hey,” Scara greets, his chin on your shoulder as he plants a kiss on your neck, “Congrats.”

You turn around, quickly wrapping your arms around him and going straight for his lips.

“You too,” you grin, eyeing the trophy identical to yours with his name imprinted on it sitting by the mirror, “I had a running bet you’d cry on stage, you lost me a hundred.”

“I can cry for you in bed later,” he murmurs, his hands caressing your hips as his lips trail your jaw, “I don’t have to leave until tomorrow afternoon.”

“Good,” you say, sliding your hands underneath his dress shirt impatiently.

“My mom was in the crowd today,” he says against your lips, taking the trophy from your hand to set it on the table so he can gently press you against the dressing room door.

“Took her long enough,” you smile before you feel the door behind you push against you in an attempt to open.

You and Scara quickly separate from one another and try to fix yourselves as your manager, Jean, walks in. She eyes Scaramouche’s undone collar and your disheveled hair with a heavy sigh.

“No comment from me,” Jean says, shutting the door behind her, “I’ve received the news.”

“About…the project?” you ask, sharing a look with Scara.

“Yes,” she smiles, waving her phone.

You and Scara had been trying to book a role in your ideal marriage location so you guys could finally tie the knot whilst working. But everytime something comes up to prevent it. Whether it be a last minute location change, you both having to film in different spots, or your friends not being able to fly in. It was torture.

“You guys finally got it,” Jean announces, “The project starts next year. I’ll leave you both to…celebrate in your own ways,” she knowingly says, shaking her head as she slips out of the dressing room.

“It’s finally happening,” you grin the moment she’s gone, squeezing his elbow and yanking him closer.

“Fucking finally,” Scara sighs, letting himself begrudgingly be wrapped in a hug.

“You’re stuck with me.”

“Fuck you.”

“Those better not be your vows!” you chastise.

“What do you want me to say?” he hums, pressing himself against your back to lower his lips to your ear, “You are the bane of my existence, and the object of all my desires.”

“Now you’re just quoting one of your movie lines.”

“I meant it though.”

You bite your lip to fight the smile threatening to show itself on your face, a childlike bundle of glee in your stomach at his words.

“You want me so bad.”

“Shut up.”

“You mispronounced I love you.”

“It goes unsaid, you already know I do.”

[www-brontide]

his love is a fire, you're a moth. he's terrified of burning you away past repair, he always has been even before getting into this romantic relationship with you. but even when you get caught up in the flames... you didn't let go of his hand, instead squeezing it tighter as a form of reassurance. even when you know you'll get burned... it doesn't stop you from smiling so affectionately at him, so full of care and unconditional love. the flames never stopped you from loving him.

xiao, wanderer, diluc + your faves ♡

1:00 am ft. bf! scaramouche

note: set before est. relationship . mlist . series mlist

after scaramouche ranked number two compared to his younger sister, mikoto, his mother has been scolding him for not doing better and how his sister who is two years younger than him is doing beyond what he could grasp. he's lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling. remembering his mother's words to him, how mikoto is only fifteen and yet ranked higher than the so-called heir of the shogun company? it's ridiculous. he needs to do better. he needs to. how else will he ever get his mother's approval... fuck this shit. fuck the shogun family, and fuck everything.

his hand patted his nightstand until he found his phone, nothing better to do. he has already studied, taken extra notes in his classes and he doesn't even need to have six classes because he already exceeded the class points needed to graduate high school. although, his electives for design needs work. he will be fine. he opened tiktok on his phone and snorted a little when he saw your tags of him. "@eeonsadrift scara, we should do this!", "@eeonsadrift, this is so us.", etc. he replied to every comment and liked each reply you sent afterwards. he wanted to scold you for being up late but he knew you would do the same to him. he sighed and put down his phone. it's fine. it's time to go to sleep anyway.

...or it's at least he thought. his phone buzzed with a voice. he squinted and picked it up. he whispered, "what?"

your voice talked back, "did you just say 'what?' ???" he only hummed in response, burying himself into his bed. "yes, i did. why did you call me? it is 1 am."

"i didn't call you?" you answered and scaramouche felt a little sad. he doesn't understand why he felt sad. he just was.

"what?" he didn't mean to sound so pitiful like a puppy to a chain. but he knows for sure he didn't call you. right?

"yeah! you called me, scaramouche."

fuck. he shrugged it off. maybe it was a butt dial. "did i?"

"mhm, you called me like 10 times... wait nevermind, it's 5 times. it's not that bad. but did you need anything? you usually never initiate calls."

shit. he started the call first? did he subconciously think of you before he passed out? why doesn't he remember anything at all?

"no, i don't." he murmured, digging his face into his pillow, regret seeping into his bones.

"okay, goodn-"

he interrupted, "no... don't leave, name. stay on call with me. i like your voice."

silence was on the other line. you didn't talk for two minutes, it worried him.

you could only muster to say, "what?"

scaramouche's hand combed out his hair out of nervousness. but he didn't understand why he was so nervous. you guys are simply friends and that is all. childhood friends actually. why did he feel nervous? he doesn't even know why. "stay please... your voice is um... soothing. it's relaxing."

he heard you cough on the other line, in which, he thought you were sick. he made a mental note to ask you if you were sick during the call. "oh! thank you?"

he huffed, "yes. your welcome and don't make me repeat it again. can you talk about your day or something. i am exhausted."

you already know about the rivalry that the shogun children have against each other. but it was less of a rivalry and more as a wedge the mother created. on accident or on purpose? it was never enclosed. "school related or no?"

"any. just keep it away from academics please." you made a realization that ms ei scolded him again.

"alright, scara."

you know when he gets drowsier, he tells the truth more lightly other than hiding it behind five layers of toughness. that's when you ask him more questions on something he wouldn't usually answer. "hey scara, why did you call me?"

"because the sound of your voice has always made me feel better. it relaxes me instantly. one of the reasons why i-" he yawned midway of his sentence. you wanted to know the rest. he couldn't leave you on a cliffhanger for you to stare into the ceiling.

"'the reason why i-' what?" he only yawned again, making you realize that your time was up and he's too sleepy to reply back. "goodnight name."

you sighed, "good night scara! i love you too."

"what?"

"i mean i love the moon!"

call ended with scara <3

when he thinks back on this moment a lot, even since you two are dating now, does he regret saying that? no because he doesn't even remember saying all those sappy things. if he did, he wiped out the memory of it and only brings it up when he's drunk. did he admit it though?

maybe that's a story for next time.

Dinner with genshin men !

a/n: BOO... get it? because ive been dead for a while?? because i havent written anything :3 OH AND THIS IS A THANK YOU FOR 100!!! (oh and check out my masterlist if you like my works)

c/w: not proof read :P

scaramouche hm... a picnic maybe? i think he wouldn't like the fancy restaurants and would prefer something simple. probably a picnic or dinner at your or his place !!

xiao i think he'd prefer a simple meal with you (SA JOLLIBEE) he doesn't mind eating at a restaurant but nothing too fancy, your place or his place is also an option

kaeya a fancy restaurant, with all those candles and stuff. he'd make everything romantic. and if the restaurant allows it he'll have rose petals leading to your tables. even if you both eat at your place or his he 100% will make it romantic. all those petals and candles. also gives you flowers on every date

alhaitham depends, if its your anniversary or your birthday then something fancy. if you guys are going out because of an occasion he'll make it fancy. otherwise he'll have something simple but romantic, if that makes sense.

albedo he'd take you out to dinner at any restaurant, fancy or not. he doesn't mind, just as long as you're ok with it

childe fancy restaurant pt.2, he'd rent the whole restaurant for the night and have rose petals leading to your table, just like kaeya. (i also have a feeling he'd have a rose in his mouth when you see him)

Scaramouche/Wanderer X Bullied Gaming YouTuber! Male Reader Modern AU

Scaramouche is always protective over you, sure he is a short little guy, but that doesn't mean he won't hurt someone who dares to harm you, even when you are online, his overprotective nature never depletes.

You are a gamer, and you often have to deal with people who thinks everyone should be perfect in order to win, and when you or someone else screws up, they'll scold you. Or even worse make mean comments on your streams. That's something Scaramouche do not tolerate.

You were currently streaming on YouTube while playing Call of Duty: Warzone, which is your favorite game to play. Unfortunately you kept dying despite trying so hard to stay alive, and the worst part about it is? It's that you have people commenting negatively on your stream, saying that you are a*s or trash at the game.

Scaramouche saw this negative thread of comments and quickly stepped in before grabbing the microphone and said, "you b*tches better shut the hell up, let him play the game without treating him like crap." This comments quickly stopped becoming negative, it was as if Scaramouche casted a spell on them.

"That's what I thought you b*tches, how about you all get a life instead of making fun of someone online?" He added before turning around to look at you, "turn off the stream baby, they're not worth it," he said before smiling at you. "Okay," you replied before ending the stream.

Scaramouche then walked up to you before kissing you gently before saying, "ignore them lowlives baby, they're not worth stressing over." You kissed him back before saying, "okay," and after that you two went to bed to take a little nap while cuddling each other.

GENSHIN IMPACT HEADCANONS ☆ who’s the boss?

starring. . . amab , gender neutral reader and scaramouche. warning for nsfw , degradation & name calling ( bitch, mostly ) , + rough sex / hate sex. requested by ; no one lol ( 11 / 2 / 23 ) + fandom masterlist ; here.

author notes; all i can say is that i felt silly!

scaramouche!

— god, revenge has never been so sweet. you’d been working under scaramouche for around a year or so as his secretary. he made for a horrible boss, so you were miserable the whole time. miserable until today, that is.

— you had him bent over his own desk with his pants off, his legs spread and his hips wiggling slightly in anticipation. you couldn’t recall exactly how you two ended up like this. okay, you could recall pinning him to a wall and yelling at him. you could recall noticing his oh-so-obvious boner and well.. did it really matter how the rest went down? the only thing you could really focus on right now was how badly you wanted to fuck the asshole beneath you.

— for a moment or two you caressed his bare ass, feeling up the soft, warm mounds before you. you slid down your pants and underwear just below your hip and held your hard-on close to his entrance, listening to quiet whimpers as scaramouche felt you from behind. then, without hesitation or prep, you pushed in all the way, groaning at how tight he was.

— oh, how he whimpered and cried, and in return you simply muttered, “payback’s a bitch, isn’t it?”

— you were rough, moving at a pace that likely burned for the bitch beneath you but felt so good for you and your cock. you held him roughly by the hips, holding him steady as you rammed into him. the desk creaked with every thrust, though it was hard to hear it over scaramouche’s moans, screams, and squeals. his stomach was pressed flush against his own cold, metallic nameplate, causing him to shiver occasionally.

— he struggled to keep his head up, his violet eyes rolling back as he choked out your name. as soon as you noticed his head falling, you used one hand to grab him by the hair and lift his head up, forcing him to look at the tiny security camera in the left corner of his office.

— “think they’re enjoying the show, boss? tell me, wonder who’s on camera duty tonight, scaramouche?” you teased, enunciating every syllable of his name as you kept on pulverizing him from behind.

— he could only groan before babbling out a bunch of different half-sentences just to tell you that he didn’t know. you huffed and let go of his hair suddenly, causing his head to fall flat onto his wooden desk with a bang. any noises of pain blended with his noises of pleasure— or maybe you just didn’t care enough to tell the difference.

— “maybe i’ll let them have a turn when i’m done. they might want to fuck you over the desk too, or maybe on the floor. you’d like that wouldn’t you, getting passed around like a hooker?”

— “no, no,” he gasped out, his voice shaky, “just you, only you, please. please, just you.”

— you laughed at his response. it was desperate, so desperate it was funny. “so you’re my bitch then?”

— “yes!” he screamed out after a particularly rough thrust, “yes, yes, yes!”

— you opted to pull out at the last second, much to his relief. he was overstimulated and shaking on the table as you pumped yourself. you shoved him onto the floor after a moment, watching him hit the carpeted ground with a thud before shooting your load onto his face.

— you panted heavily, resting against the desk as scaramouche whimpered down on the ground, his breathing ragged. god, what a sight. your shitty boss shaking and covered in your cum—

— “just remember who’s in charge now, ‘kay boss? i got it on camera,” you said, gesturing to the camera in the corner as you began to clean yourself up, “you’re my bitch. don’t forget it.”

ACT FOUR

⇢ ˗ˏˋ time skip of four years ࿐ྂ

˗ˏˋ headcanons ´ˎ˗

✰ you and scara graduated two years ago at the top of your university, as expected, and have been in the industry for two years since then; age 23

✰ you’ve been dating for almost five years, since your sophomore year in college, and it’s been just as sweet as the first day you kissed him

✰ the deal was that scaramouche needed to land a major role in his first year or else he’d be forced to go to business school by his mother. miss lisa hooked you both up with jean, a well known manager, and you both snuck into the industry easily

✰ it started off with you two playing side characters in different shows and wasn’t until you both landed a movie together as both MCs that everyone’s eyes landed on you

✰ fans fell in love with your chemistry on screen and good looks to match, shipping your characters and even you two off set

✰ scara preferred to do horror related projects, he had a liking for all the gore and excitement.

[dxy-drxxm]

SYNOPSIS: It was his spouse's birthday, and he had something special he wanted to give her. Though, maybe it was a little unorthodox for him to give something so... Him.

CW/s: hurt w/o comfort, Tinuvion is Esther's name for Wanderer, takes place post Wanderer travelling and final journey/choice for Esther, Nahida feels bad, damn the title is an absolute irony

NOTE: Happy birthday @mixed-kester :D I wanted to write smth thats tied to the endgame of the idiots(tm). This shit also made me cry while "Like a Dream" started playing so uh. have fun.

The Wanderer always said that he never needed anyone. To him, he always said that he would be fine travelling on his own. However, when he had met her, that line of thinking seem to have changed.

In the past, he has often been cruel as he is to others. Even the traveler would comment on his behavior, trying to dissuade her in 'helping' him when he didn't even want to be helped. However, it seemed like she didn't listen.

It led to him to continue his ways. He had harmed her over and over, his actions, words, and even behavior cutting her like knives. However, each time he did, she strove on.

In a sense of irony, it seemed like she was giving her all to help him. Even if it meant she got little in return.

Years had passed since then, and each time he remembered, he recalled the events that happened after. The stunt he pulled, the way he was broken in multiple parts of 'himself', that year long absence...

... Their wedding, rekindling lost friendships and relationships, and the final graft.

He remembered seeing her in tears as they said their last goodbyes. He remembered himself saying they'd meet again, that even if the him she remembered for so long never returns, their memory will live on.

And in his journey in their 'meeting', he slowly recalled everything. That part of him returned bit by bit, so much so that he went back to Sumeru.

Alas, it was too late.

"... I'm sorry, Wanderer," Nahida answered, the two beings standing over the graves of his late spouses, Kaeya Alberich, Xianyun, and Esther Arkados.

Even adepti were killed. After all, they can't live as long as an actual God, he thought bitterly. Just like humans.

"It's too late. She has said she wanted to stay after you've left, and lived her last years with the two. It's been decades since you came back."

Decades.

He came back on her day of birth... After decades of absence.

He could feel his 'heart', the one laid on her ring finger, beat.

He knows its gone. That ring will only be removed when the corpse has disintegrated, and he knew it was under the ground they were buried on. He had no hope of retrieving it, and yet...

"... I see."

Nahida looked over at the Wanderer, watching the puppet lower his kasa hat and chuckle sadly. She feared that he may see their death as a betrayal like others, but what he did shocked her.

Grabbing the vision that was granted to him, he lifted his hat to grab the dolls he handsewn all those years ago. Carrying them, he went to the middle of their graves and sat down.

"... Can I ask you something, Lesser Lord Kusanali?"

Nahida blinked, her heart dropping in her chest. It was a sinking feeling, like she just knew what was bound to happen. Still, she had to bite the bullet.

"What is it, Wanderer?"

"... Is it possible for someone like me to reunite with my deceased lovers?"

...

The archon looked down, a frown on her face.

"... Perhaps. But is this what you want?"

She looked over at the puppet, watching him nod and smile. It was bitter, so, so bitter. It made her want to tell him not to take this road.

She knew who else would be weeping for his loss.

"Please, end my suffering, Lesser Lord Kusanali."

She knew what would happen if she did that.

"I want to be with my lovers in death for once and for all."

Those puppets he made were all together with his own, and yet she found only grief in its creation. After all, it was the only thing reminding him of what he lost in his journey.

He's no mortal, but the others were. Xianyun isn't, too, but she had died in different circumstances.

"... Are you sure?" she asked, reaching over to his chest. "I will take it away. Are you truly sure, Wanderer?"

He laughs, though the look on his face suggested that he was serious.

"I just want my wandering to end. Is it selfish to ask for such a little thing?" he asked her, closing his eyes while he placed both hands on their graves. "If my lovers die, I'll follow them. It's the least I can do."

It was my gift for her.

...

Nahida took a deep breath and bowed her head.

Then, as swiftly as she could, she yanked the 'gnosis' she made of the puppet. She could see the body of Wanderer flinch and lurch, but it became still, with the tender smile remaining as he stopped breathing.

Holding up the 'gnosis' she made, she watched the vision lose it's power. She didn't knew why, but seeing it reminded her of something so bitter.

Something she experienced before.

"... You two are intertwined by the stars, just like what he said," Nahida muttered, tucking the items away to be kept in Irminsul.

Raising her head, the clouds began to darken. Rainfall was coming, but she knew it was the least of her concerns.

At least now, the four are reunited together. That's what he wanted, after all.

Your phone rang, it was from Scaramouche. “Hello?” you say, “Hello? [Name]? I’ll be home late, I have to finish up a few things” he says. He’s a liar, you can hear music, he’s most likely at a club, he was slurring his words too. “Oh, okay, get home safe” you say, hanging up the phone.

You were sick of this. It wasnt the first time, it wasn’t the first time he came home late, reeking of alcohol. When he was home however, he didn’t really pay attention to you. You loved him so much, too much. You loved him too much, which is why you’re putting up with this. But you aren’t sure how much more of this you could take. You loved him, but you werent sure if he loved you back.

It wasnt always like this, he used to be so loving with you. Although he wasnt fond of saying ‘I love you’ he was fond of giving you gifts, showing his love for you. He spent all of his free time with you. Now, its different, he rarely spends time with you, rarely gives you any attention, rarely gives you any gifts. He used to look at you with so much love. Now, he looks at you with those cold eyes, you hated it, but you put up with it, because you love him.

Could you really put up with any more of this? 

The next day, you wake up with his side of the bed empty. He used to be there every morning. Greeting you good morning. If he had to leave early he leaves a note. You checked the bedside table if there was a note, getting your hopes up. Alas, there was none.

Maybe it was time to finally let go.

To your surprise, he was downstairs. “Good morning” you say, wrapping your arms around him. “Morning” he says before pushing you away, not even looking at you. “No work today?” you ask, “No, my shift just starts later than usual. I’m going to get ready now” He says, going upstairs.

Are you tired of me now?

He’s on his way home. You couldn’t take it anymore, so you decided to call him. 

“Hello? Where are you?” you say, mustering up all your courage.

“In a taxi, you?” he says.

“Home.” you reply.

"I’m almost home” you’re surprised he hasnt hung up the phone yet.

“I’m sorry” sorry? Why is he saying sorry?

“For what” you say, knowing what he’s sorry for.

“Just… everything” you can hear him sigh on the other end.

You recall all the times he’s made you feel loved. Based on how he’s talking it seems like he’s had a long day, was now really the best time? The happiness you received from him was just a mere memory. You can’t even remember the last time you two stayed in the same room for longer than 5 minutes.

Everything was also so awkward with you two, tension hanging in the air. You two were growing distant, it’s too late to fix it even if you tried.

“Just come home” you reply.

You think for a bit before speaking again.

“Hey… Nevermind” Are you sure? You still love him, of course. You don’t want to end things. But what about him? Does he still love you? Does he even care about your relationship?

“What is it?” he says.

“I don’t think we’re in love anymore”

I don’t usually post my WIP pictures? But let’s try something new. (It’s not like it’s spoiling anyone’s enjoyment of my actual final thing, after all. I’ve always been a bit weird about it, but that’s. Kinda silly tbh.)

Do you think Wanderer ever gets confused about having two completely separate overlapping sets of memories of his own life?
