# Episode one — The Prodigy of Sumeru Highschool

[ masterlist ] [ next ]

sypnosis

y/n is a famed artist on social media known as [your user], and is often labeled as the “Descendant of Hephaestus”, acknowledged for their breathtaking art and rivalry towards an uprising painter named Balladeer. Attending Teyvat University to pursue their passion, they’re met with a peculiar individual who matches their ability in terms of art, Kunikuzushi, who seems to have made y/n fall smitten. Although, the boy pays no mind to their pursuits, as his eyes are already focused on another under the alias— [your user].

———————————————

You waited right by the arts room, waiting for a certain someone you just so happened to befriend. And what kind of friend would you be if you didn’t do a quick skim through your friend’s social media? Yeah, that’s how you knew they were an art major too. Detective [y/n] era.

You figured that as you waited, you could scroll a little bit on social media to avoid suffering from boredom and the gazes people send your way.

Your eyes glimmered as you caught sight of one specific painting. It was utterly gorgeous. It reminded you of your own art, so eerily similar. It was quite off-putting.

Well that just ruined your mood. Who the hell do they think they are?

“Oh my god. It’s actually [y/n]. In the flesh. What the actual fuck.”

You wipped your head towards the source of the voice, your eyes being met with amber eyes that eroded with playfulness. The person was quite messy— their dark hair in disheveled pigtails, which you theorized was from running, and her clothes were disarranged.

She had a bright aura, which easily dissipitated your own sour mood. Although not completely. The thought of the.. ba..? What was it again? Ah— balladeer. The thought of the Balladeer still had a bitter taste on your tongue.

“I’m Hu tao, art major, big fan.” Hu tao cheerily spoke, her right hand outstretched, signalling a handshake.

You shook her hand and smiled enthusiastically, parting your lips to speak but was interrupted by Hu tao’s own voice.

“Oh—! You don’t need to introduce, by the way, since I already know ya!” She placed her hands on her hips and grinned cheekily.

You held a semi-shocked look, slightly caught off guard by her energy.

“Well in that case, nice to meet you, Hu tao.” You beamed.

Hu tao did a little bow, “The pleasure’s all mine! Now let’s go in!” She eagerly twisted the door handle before slamming the door open.

“I cannot wait to see who our classmates are!”

author’s note: WOWOWOW ITS HERE?!?!!? it took quite a while but omg ep 1 officially aired today *shocked* i hope its at least enough for a week maybe??? or less ;)) i also still havent proof read this yet bc i have a proj to do thats due tmr (slay),, so i might make some minor changes later!!

and just to clarify, i know nothing abt colleges and stuff like that (literally none) so the system might seem a bit unrealistic??????? but i did do some research soo 👍

the art from balladeer’s post is from henrikauu on instagram !! i do not take credit for it !!

⠀⠀ 💤 GOOD LOOKING! scaramouche x gn!reader

synopsis: kunikuzushi is confused as to why his 'heart' craves something besides you, his lover. when he comes to realize he abandoned you just like his creator and friends did to him, he returns only to be greeted by nothing. ୨ sfw, angst, fluff, hurt/comfort ୧

⠀⠀📋 this is a short nd silly little filler post while i'm working on heaps of reqs atm😵‍💫 this is based off of suki waterhouse's song good looking!!

kunikuzushi seeks something greater in the comforting and quiet life he has with you. after three betrayals, he's finally found someone to love and care for without having to worry about them leaving. but why is it that his heartless chest yearns for something else? is it possible you're not what he needs?

he awakes in a cold sweat when he finds out. a heart. the puppet longs for a heart of his own. being able to love and be loved wasn't enough, or so he thought. one day when you leave to get groceries, kunikuzushi asks if he can join you, to your surprise. and of course, you could never turn down your lover.

you smile and allow him to go to inazuma city with you. you tell him it's good for him, that he has a chance of meeting new people and improving his communication skills. and kunikuzushi may have met people, but definitely not the ones you would've wanted him to.

tides thrash inside, baby, i'm high octane

you find your lover's presence to be something rare nowadays, as you're spending nights alone with an empty bed and a blank mind. it's not as lively without kunikuzushi, you would think. you turn to face the window and the moon is high and proud among the pitch black sky filled with stars.

the familiar sound of the door opening alarms you and you get out of bed with a hopeful smile on your lips. "kunikuzushi!" you greet the puppet with a warm welcome as you help him take off his materials. lately, he seems to be indulging in oddly different clothes rather than the ones you sewed just for him.

his gaze is so cold and distant. you notice this while waiting for him to speak up, but he never does. scaramouche brushes past you and slides the shoji doors shut to his room. your heart twinges for a moment. you were hoping to finally talk to him after what seemed like forever, but he must be busy again. surely, he doesn't need his lover as a thorn in his side.

fever in a shock wave, my core vibrates in an opium haze

scaramouche barely remembers he even had a lover to begin with. he supposes being occupied with fatui business has taken a toll on his memory as well, besides his physical and mental state. he allowed the doctor to perform strange tests on him after studying scaramouche as a specimen. he'll admit; the "harmless" experiments performed on him were rougher than he expected, but all's fine.

if he can't take on all of this pain on his own, how can he continue his path to stealing the gnosis and becoming a God? through these experiences, scaramouche has come to hate mirrors. when he looks at himself, he finds the same vulnerable boy inside him despite changing so much within time. the split ends of his hair remind him of how he ruthlessly cut it himself after his mother abandoned him.

he merely scoffs at the thought. only weaklings dwell upon the past. scaramouche is the present and future; he believes that the past is a waste of time and it will always be that way. yet through all of this time, he didn't even realize he left someone else in the past.

yet you think we're the same

scaramouche doesn't notice your disappearance until it turns into months, maybe even more than that. well, it doesn't matter, if anything, this should help. he'll deal with the pain all by himself like he always does and it'll strengthen himself as he journeys to the birth of his becoming of a God. but why does it hurt moreso than usual?

scaramouche doesn't understand why he holds too many emotions. he doesn't want to have emotions and he never needed them in the first place. he believes it's a flaw, along with the other mistakes his creator made when making him. he doesn't understand why tears cascade down his face in an uncontrollable state as he curls up on the bed, void of anyone's warmth.

starting at that point, he began to change into the pleasant yukata you sewed for him rather than his uncomfortable fatui attire. the scent of you still lingered in the cotton as he buries his nose into the material. scaramouche solemnly pulls away and looks around as if he just awoke from a bad dream.

"where are you... (y/n)?" kunikuzushi queries.

the skyline falls as i try to make sense of it all

kunikuzushi can hardly pay any attention to his fatui duties when he finally realizes your sudden disappearance from his life. you promised to stay by his side, and that you did, but where were you now? maybe you went down to the city and he simply didn't notice. although, your trips don't usually take this long.

kunikuzushi is aware he doesn't have a heart, so why, why is there an inexplicable pain in his chest where it's supposed to be? it hurts, he cries to himself at night as he recalls all of the innocent lives he took, their blood in his hands as he kept it to himself. a poor excuse for a God in the making...

he felt so useless and lost. how much time has past? for how long were you already gone? did you leave of your own accord? did someone else take you away? questions plagued his mind as he could hardly rest with such thoughts.

i thought i'd uncovered your secrets but, turns out, there's more

as time passes, he grows a temper that would make anyone turn the other way the moment they saw him. scaramouche is filled with nothing but loathe for this wretched teyvat he roams and the heavenly celestia that watches upon him. why did they take you of all people? what made you leave?

these are the type of things that he's thinking the second he sees you after lesser lord kusanali takes the gnosis away from him. he can't tell whether it's real, and in this case, it probably isn't. but he hasn't seen you in so long, he doesn't care if it's short lived. scaramouche allows himself to sink into your embrace, unknowing of the fact that he's falling to the ground after the wires of the machine detached from him.

"it hurts, (y/n). i don't want to be here anymore," he cries into the crook of your neck as you hush him, your fingers brushing through his hair. "you're the strongest i've come to known, my kunikuzushi. continue what you began for me. i'll be waiting for you."

a kiss is planted against his forehead and he awakes from his slumber.

you adored me before, oh my good looking boy.

in a frightened state, the wanderer looks left and right, searching for your whereabouts. it doesn't take him very long to find you, for you're sound asleep next to him. he slowly gulps and his hand hovers over your face in hesitation. dear teyvat and celestia above, can something go right for once? just this once, as he's suffered for so many years and he doesn't wish for it to continue.

your eyelids flutter open and he quickly retracts his hand. you look at him and your lips form a smile. the smile he came to love and missed for the longest time. then, you part your beautiful lips to speak, and your voice is as soft and gentle as ever. "what are you doing up so late, dear? you and the traveler have a busy day tomorrow, don't you?"

you ask as you gather all of your strength to sit up, still half-asleep. he struggles to release a sentence from his mouth, even a word would do good, but he just couldn't. his lips are agape as he marvels at your presence. you sleepily giggle, "oh, love. you can't keep slacking off, you know that, right? the traveler's little fairy... thing, paimon, is constantly talking about how you seem so lost in your thoughts all of the time."

"i..." a word. he finally speaks. "can i..." all of a sudden, tears begin to stream down his face and you're taken aback. "k-kunikuzushi, are you alright?" you question him in a panicking state as you're fully awake, sitting on your knees to examine his face. he takes it upon himself to hide his face in the crook of your neck, his arms slithering around your torso as he clings to you for dear life. his hands are clutching at you as if you were to disappear at any given moment, but it never happens.

the one and only time, can he feel relieved. his muscles aren't as strained anymore as he allows his frail body to make your embrace its home. you pause, your movements at a stop as your body is tense, but you rest your hand in his hair. "can i stay here? i don't feel like helping the traveler with whatever tomorrow..." he mumbles, hoping you'd say yes, at the very least. a chuckle escapes your lips.

"of course, love. we need more time alone, don't we? but for now, let's rest together." you pull away as he does and you slot your lips into his. he eagerly indulges in the kiss and his chest, though heartless, comes to be filled with a happy warmth that can cause a grin to break out onto his features. "rest with you... i need that, more than ever."

# teaser — to win is to sacrifice (wow so deep and emotional)

reminder: time stamps don’t serve any relevance!

[ masterlist ] [ next ]

You sipped on the straw of your coffee, quite composed for someone who just got an email from their dream school.

I’ll get in. I didn’t use those tiktok audios for nothing.

You bit your lips in anticipation, placing the cup on your desk. You were sure you’d get in. I mean— they know about how many competitions you basically snagged, right? And Tighnari even helped you with that stupid entrance essay!

Taking a deep breath, you aligned your mouse curser towards the email before closing your eyes.

Click !

You furrowed your brows in anxiety, you were sure you looked like you were struggling to take a shit but that doesn’t matter.

Opening your eyes hesitantly, the first word that you read was “congratulations”. And your heart fluttered like someone you fancied just said that they liked you back.

Your hands slammed your desk, your trophies and medals clinging together from the impact— your plastic coffee cup almost loosing it’s balance. Your wide eyes stared, as if you were challenging the screen to a staring contest.

The first instinct you had was to aggressively flaunt your acceptance on social media.

Although you’re reminded of a terrible, truly tragic fact… one that may lead you to a heavy state of despair, a gut-wrenching loneliness that aches everytime you breathe.

author’s notes : sadly, tighnari, cyno, and al haitham wont really be included much in the story but they will be in a few chaps (mostly on the first ones)!! Akademiya Uni likes to overboard their students :(

this teaser is also just some sort of test to see if im doing things right or smth LMAOAO but this isnt rlly important since u can read episode 1 without this soooo yeah this is just a teaser. stay tuned tho, ep 1 is premiering 2 days from now ;)))

reminder that time stamps are irrelevant !!!

#sing for me

— if scaramouche has a singer s/o (from a request)

Scaramouche; singer!gn! Reader || fluff

WANDERER / SCARAMOUCHE

First of all, it doesn’t really matter who you are, it just depends on how patient you are.

And besides, once you’ve managed to slip through those big, big walls of his that he has built over the years, it’s an endgame. You’ve got him wrapped up in your little finger, no matter how much he wanted to or not, despite not making it obvious as well.

Maybe it was your voice, maybe it was your eyes, or maybe it was just him—how he was so weak to even resist the temptations of a lowly mortal such as you.

The first time he heard you sing was literally just that—unintentional.

For the time being, he listened in, wondering how in the world he did not know you had such talent, or that you were even hiding one. For a brief moment, he thinks of how many more secrets you fail to tell him, but with that soothing voice of yours, his anxieties were slowly fading away into thin air, drifting off with the breeze as he awaits for the last tune to leave your lips before he sets off quietly, not even bothering to let his presence known.

The second time was intentional.

“Y/n,” he calls you, “sing for me.”

“Pardon?”

He looks up from his seat and crosses his arms before saying,, “What? Don’t you know how to sing?”

He observes you carefully as you unconsciously bite your lower lip and look away from him—would you? Would you continue to hide it to him?

Do you not trust him that well?

“Nevermind-”

“Wait! I do, I’m just… uh-what song do you want me to sing? I can’t… think of a song so just suggest me one.”

Since then, he’d always ask—command—you to sing for him.

“You have such a nice voice, you could’ve become a singer if you wanted to,” he smirks, “do you want me to help you? Hm, I don’t know, should I?”

If you turn out to really be a professional singer, ah well good luck, because you’ll have to apologize to him for keeping such a secret to him. He would be supportive, nonetheless. You are the lover of a divine being such as him, you deserve every bit of worship and praise as well.

Supportive in a way that he would be attending any kind of event that features you as a singer and would glare at anyone who speaks ill of you—if they were any, but he doubts that would occur as in his eyes, you are the best singer there is in this god forsaken world. (He does this as well even if you’re not a professional singer… yet. He’ll make it so that you should be.)

Nevertheless, he still asks you to sing for him from time to time.

He wouldn’t admit it out loud, but this is a reminder for him—a reminder that you’re there and you’re dedicating these songs to him, singing for him, staying for him. Things no one even when he was a Fatui Harbinger had willingly done for him, genuinely.

And so he takes. He takes as much as he could because these memories with you, he won’t ever let anyone take them away from him.
