#raiden shogun creator au

[unabashednightmarepizza]

Hi, I recently read your "If we the creator, was married to the archons" and was wondering if you could do head cannons about what happens after Ei's section when we find Scara, how would he react to finding out we had no say in what happend to him and how would he react to us begging him to forgive us for not protecting him.(sorry for the long ask I just got really invested in thinking about what would happen next and wondering how Scara would react.😅)

Hi, I'm happy that you liked that work and part! I'm currently a bit busy with writing two different CreatorAU works and my Genshin Series "The Last Champion" but I'm also writing for them too, albeit a bit slower than I intended to do...

Though, no need to worry! I will definetly give people what they want because I've been swarmed with messages and comments for a second part of Ei's in that work☺️

[intothegenshinworld]

Me: has all archons

Also me: uses their children and Kazuha (+Barbara as healer)

Man, listening to Xiao and Scara talking is funny, meanwhile Kazuha and Barbara just chillin'

Idk why I'm sending this, just why not :>

Plus it light be a sagau idea? I'm not sure

Hello btw! How was your day? Has something new/good happened? Stay hydrated and don't forget to rest <3

When you first sent this I had a really bad day. Reading the end part made me smile again, so, thank you! Also, I decided to keep it a bit more general otherwise I was stuck with the teamcomp requests XD

"Not using the Archons"

Venti is one with the wind. Wherever the wind blows, he follows.

From Mondstadt all the way to Inazuma and beyond, he watches the traveler save multiple nations.

He's a bit sad you can't take him with you on these adventures, but then again, he would never chain you down with guilt for not taking him.

But that doesn't mean he can't force his way through the code when you pull a single wish on his banner!

"Even one adventure is enough for me! Now, dear Creator, won't you sing me a song from your world?"

Zhongli is content. Content with watching you from afar, and content with the time he has spent with you in the past.

He has lived a long life and he's happy to see more and more vision users get blessed with your presence, even when he himself isn't included.

He'd probably invite the traveler to Liyue and ask them to do more quests for him instead.

That way he can still greet you once every while.

Has tried to send you osmanthus wine as his birthday offering multiple times but each time it seems to get rejected. Do you really prefer flowers nowadays?

"Everything changes, time spares no one, but you still look as radiant as ever, dear Creator."

Ei has been alone for what seems forever now. She wasn't the original electro Archon, so she understands. But still.

She wishes she could talk to you just once.

You could be the only person who understands her pain, the only person she could talk with about the past, the only person she can be weak around.

But that's not how people are blessed.

Only the strongest of the vision users catch your gaze, and thus she'll have to become stronger until one day she can hear your laughter wash away her sorrows.

"It's taken me everything I had to get here. But I won't have to be alone by your side, dear Creator."

Nahida is a dreamer. She has all the knowledge of the world but she still wants to learn how to 'walk' amongst the people as you do.

Whenever she sees a "blessed one" run by, she smiles.

She wonders how you're doing and hopes she can one day ask you herself.

You're registered in Irminsul, but not in the same way as everyone else. A lot of information is missing and the tree of knowledge really makes you seem like a deity that's out of reach for anyone.

Still, Nahida is a dreamer.

And each night she dreams that she'll be blessed.

"Oh? It's you dear Creator! I've been waiting for you for a while now. Please sit, I know a few good stories about Teyvat."

sworn on the stars ~ 02 - genshin impact // sagau // imposter au

a/n: I’m so sorry I’ve just remembered that I don’t know how humans communicate naturally so dialogue is gonna be super chonky and jagged- but I also didn’t wanna glaze over a first time interaction so here you go :)

————————————

Sometime while you were staying at the camp, you felt that something had changed. Something- or someone- had arrived, and you weren’t sure how you knew but you just... knew.

Feeling curious and skeptical, you tried to explain to your little group of newfound friends before bidding them goodbye, promising to return soon enough. They’d given you so much care since you suddenly dropped in, and you couldn’t have been more grateful.

‘Never thought I’d say that about hillichurls though...’

Either way, it was time to keep exploring! After they’d packed you some raw vegetables to go, alongside a tattered pouch of mora, you went on your way to find the source of this strange... disruption. That is, alongside the anemo slimes and hydro slimes that had decided to tag along.

After sometime, you asked the anemo slime for its assistance once again, to which it happily (?) obliged. Despite being far above ground, the gentle winds that surrounded you- caused by the anemo slime that you were riding on- brought you a sense of peace and tranquility.

Soon enough, you arrived at the statue in the middle to Starfell Lake. It was as fully embellished and beautiful as you remember leaving it; the result of many days of hunting down lost oculi throughout the lands.

Sitting down at the base of the statue to stretch your legs, you could hear the faint sound of chatter from just beyond the woods, as though someone’s voice was being carried by the wind. A particularly high pitched voice that sounded like it was getting closer...

“Paimon thinks it’s this way! Come quickly! Come one!”

Low and behold, emerging from the depths of the forest were the familiar faces of Lumine and Paimon. They didn’t seem to have noticed you yet.

“Actually- they’re still pretty far away. How can I see them so clearly...?” you muttered to yourself as you anticipated their arrival.

Anticipation might just have been an understatement. It would be your very first time meeting someone- a human- from this world, and it had been long since your last social interaction.

‘Happy thoughts! Just... happy thoughts.’

-

Lumine

It hadn’t felt like long since I had been separated from my brother. I’ve arrived in this strange world with nothing but a floating companion who appears to be a fairy of sorts.

Paimon had insisted we travel to the city of freedom to search for clues about the gods of this world- or archons, as they were called.

Halfway through the journey, I started feeling a little odd. For no apparent reason I was hit with a burst of joy and nostalgia, as though time has reverted back to when Aether and I were happily exploring the seas of dimensions once again.

I had to stop for a moment to catch my breath.

“Lumine? What are you waiting for?” Paimon flew back to ask, mildly concerned.

“Ah- it’s nothing. Let’s keep going.”

And so we did. The feelings in my chest kept growing- but rather than become heavy, it felt as though my heart was so light that it was flying.

I caught a glimpse of the lake up ahead, speed walking a little to catch up to my floating friend.

I felt drawn to the lake. I felt like I absolutely had to be closer to... whatever this familiar feeling was. Then I saw a person more beautiful than any I’d seen in all of my travels. A person that looked like they were glowing from within.

And their eyes...

-

Soon enough, Lumine and Paimon had arrived at the lake, and Lumine was the first to notice my presence.

As many other players of Genshin Impact, you found it difficult to continue adventuring with the traveller, especially when there were so many others explore the world of Teyvat with. That said, Lumine has always held a special place in your heart, alongside her mysterious twin, Aether.

Sometimes you found yourself empathizing with them. They were just two siblings that wanted to explore the world(s) together, yet were struck with misfortune by mere chance.

A family that was separated too soon. You knew of this far too well.

So you couldn’t help but break into a small smile when you met her eyes. A little wave sent her way before you decided to get up to meet them halfway.

For a moment, you felt nervous. It had been a very long time since you’d had a proper conversation with someone new; what if you messed up your words?

Those thoughts were soon sent off when Paimon- the ever beloved, if slightly annoying fairy that has travelled with you all throughout Teyvat.

“Hello there! What are you doing in the woods here? Oh right- This is Lumine, and Paimon is, well, Paimon!”

You couldn’t help the giggle that escaped your throat as the girl introduced herself. Certainly, they were the two that had caused that strange feeling of disturbance and yet... you felt a connection of fondness with them, rather than one of malice.

“Hello! I’m [Name].”

You wondered why Lumine wasn’t saying anything. Sure, she didn’t say much in the game but surely you would get to hear her speak at least once?

You would’ve understood had Lumine looked wary of you- you were merely a stranger she happened upon in the middle of a lake, after all. Yet the only thing that came to mind when you looked into her eyes was ‘starstruck’.

“[Name]... it’s a pleasure to meet you,” she finally responds, albeit after a couple awkward moments. She shakes her head as though snapping out of some trance, and you couldn’t help but feel a bit concerned for her.

You shot her a small smile before turning back to Paimon. “Would you believe me if I told you I was transported here from another world?”

A small gasp from Lumine, and something that sounded like a squeal came out of Paimon. “Oh oh!! You two must’ve been fated to meet!”

Stepping forward, Lumine recounts her story. Already knowing the gist of it, you zoned out a little.

‘I wonder how far along we are in the story...’

“And so we’ve been working around Mondstadt for the last little while, hoping to find clues about my brother’s whereabouts,” she finished, a distant look in her eyes.

“I see... would you mind if I travelled with you to the city? I’d like to get familiar with the area.”

“Oh- of course! In fact, I’d be happy to have you with us.”

She looked like she’d wanted to say something else, but ended up biting her tongue in the process.

“Ouch!”

With puffed cheeks she sported an uncomfortable expression, one that seemed to have switched on whatever dormant protective instincts you had inside of you.

“Oh dear- are you okay?” You cupped her cheek unconsciously, brows furrowed.

She’d flushed barely enough for you to realize that you’d been a bit too forward with someone you’d just met.

“Oh, sorry about that,” you apologized, taking a step back. “Are you feeling alright?”

“Um, yes, thanks for asking! We should... start heading out soon.”

And so you did. With the wind on your skin and whispering into your ear, you followed Lumine back into the city of freedom, where you would soon come across a something that did not exist within your memories...

[logicaltips]

Messing with the wrong Tengu

As expected, the Traveler burst into the throne room, their floating companion right behind them. As Rosalyne glared at the pair, the Traveler's eyes wandered to the unconscious Kujou Sara. Immediately, the Traveler knelt by her prone body.

"The way people charge in here as they please-"

The room shook from a new aura that emitted from the Traveler's body. Their eyes glowed with a holy fire and Rosalyne's knees buckled from a pressure that only existed in the tales that Childe told her of his battle against the Traveler in Liyue.

"Sara~!"

Everyone in the room instantly knew who the voice belonged to.

The Guiding Light of Teyvat, the One who gives Strength, and the God who cannot Manifest.

The Creator themselves had made their presence known, and it was filled with the fury that lit the world's sun, all directed at the Harbinger.

"How dare you! How dare you harm her?!"

"Your- your Grace, please, I only acted out of-!" Rosalyne tried to reason with the hellfire that burned before her, but the Creator was too furious to care or listen.

"I thought it would be cool to play as you! But screw that! Today, you die!"

The Traveler's body began to change, and Rosalyne now stared at the very general she had just defeated moments before. Except, this time, the air around her seemed to crackle with electricity. Not even the Shogun was immune, staggering from the sheer Electro power that emitted from the duplicate Tengu that was now notching an arrow from a divinely-gifted bow.

"Say hi to Rostam, in hell!"

Rosalyne's vision was filled with a bright purple light, and then, she knew no more.

Sara woke up to the smell of burnt wood and the crackling of ember. With a jolt, she sat up and drew her bow, remembering the disastrous confrontation that she had with the Harbinger-

Sara gasped in shock at the sight that stood before her. The entire right side of the Tenshukaku had completely burned away. All that remained were the dying flames and wooden debris caused by an immense lightning strike.

"Did Her Excellency use the Musou no Hitotachi?" As Sara stood up, she noticed a small note flutter off of her Tengu mask.

Hello, Sara! I'll have to make this quick; the character limit sucks. I took care of Signora for you, so don't worry about her! I thought that you died fighting her, but a few Sweet Madams took care of your concussion. Take care of yourself, Sara. We'll meet in person as soon as I'm done with this Archon Quest. Meet me outside of Tenshukaku in a week's time! It'll be a date!

From, The Creator

Needless to say, many of her soldiers that served under her were very confused to see a burning red blush over their General's face for the rest of the day.

[ixiot-ghostrebel]

Hi! Finally able to request. I really enjoy your work!

Can you try a creator who use their power through music (like singing or playing instrument) in an Imposter-AU with the Archons? (The voice of the Creator is heard as the sound of nature like wind or water, though. No one knows their true voice)

Thank you so much.

🎄Merry Christmas🎄

Welcome @peaceindreams ! I'll see what I can do with Your Request :D

Also VERY LATE Merry Christmas—I'm writing this a few days after Christmas.

Archons Realize Reader is a MUSICIAN WOAHHH

To be honest, you were kinda just minding your business when the Archons found you and your ever-singing glory.

They SHOOKETH so good job! Let's nitpick at their reactions! >:)

(Warning: Might be OOC!)

Venti

Wisp boi HELLA SHOOKETH. But he also happi boi so good job!

Wants to hear your voice sing and not the wind just continues to gently smack his face. Don't get him wrong, he's probably the only one who can actually listen and understand and compute with what you're singing, but like he really wants to hear your actual voice. He thinks it'll be such a treat!

"Your Graceee...Is there a way to let these humble gods hear your voice? Pleaseee? This bard will make a ballad about it and the world shall start spewing about it right after!~ Hehe, it'll be a big hit, one as grand as your visage!"

He really wants to hear you sing now. Good luck explaining that you got no control over dis :)

Zhongli

GRANDPA ABSOLUTELY SHOOKETH. But he finds it pleasant to see that you're having fun and enjoying your time in Teyvat.

Unlike the airhead beside him, he cannot understand what you are singing, and he feels kinda disappointed that he can't enjoy it too. He would share the memory—

Ahem, anyways. Loves it, 100%. Bro's a huge supporter even though he legit has, like, zero comprehension of the situation. He's also giving Venti some bombasic side-eyes.

"Your Grace, please do not be pressured by this wind god. While it would be a stunning blessing, do NOT feel like you owe us anything." You know those memes where like, one person is forcing someone's head to bow while they bow to apologize to whoever got offended? Yeah, it's that one meme except it's Zhongli making Venti bow for his idiocy.

Grandpa wants to hear your voice fr this time, but bro's not gonna force it upon you. Grandpa will, nevertheless, share the memory over osmanthus wine, because "Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I—"

Ei

Raiden Ei, Raiden Ei...I honestly think she feels like she doesn't DESERVE to hear you sing. Like, she feels like she just intruded on your personal space and she crossed some sort of line.

But the wind's pleasant and all of the surrounding area is practically glowing as you sing. Your voice practically carries throughout the place, becoming the nature, the water, the wind, everything.

"Your Grace, you need not heed to the request at all. We are more blessed to be in your presence enough." As much as she's getting more and more used to the present times of Teyvat, she's still kinda stuck in her ways a little. She still thinks of you highly and does not let her beliefs falter.

She really doesn't think she deserves to hear your voice, but she is also very curious. Never wants to push though because she's old-school.

Puppet Shogun looking at this and going "This will be forever engraved in eternity" as Ei is shaking the Puppet Shogun by the shoulders like "NO, WE SHOULD NOT BE HEARING THIS WHAT KIND OF PROGRAM ARE YOU ON I DID NOT PROGRAM YOU LIKE THIS—"

All in all? Mental crisis! :D

Nahida

Cute god loves you! She loves how the flowers bloom, how the wind flows, how the water speaks—not even analogies can describe the amazingness of it all!

She's grinning so wide with such wholesome-wide eyes, like an actual child discovering music for the first time or smth ykwim? IT'S ADORABLE IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY.

"Your Grace...is it possible if we could see this more? You don't have to, of course, but this is really amazing!" She's practically GLOWING with excitement and nervousness. While Nahida wants to hear you sing and see you enjoying your time, she doesn't want to push boundaries!

Safe to say, she'll support whatever your answer will be!

Furina

Girl's flabbergasted. She thinks she might have been sent to both celestia and hell because it was hard to compute whether she was trespassing or if she was being blessed.

Furina is utterly speechless to how your voice alone commands presence and power without even needing to try so hard. Anyone, absolutely anyone, can tell you are truly the Almighty Creator.

Though she's retired from being the Hydro Archon, she still has the slight dramatic flare she has had for 500 years. And she's got to say, she absolutely loved your performance!

"Your Grace, if I could humbly suggest a request on the behest of the follow archons beside me." Furina dramatically bows a little. "May we be humbled by your presence, and continue to gaze upon our unfathomed eyes of what a real god can truly do in the likes of the world? I'm sure this will bring many beautiful pieces of art—be it music, visual arts, dramatic arts, and so on!" Girlie doesn't realize she made a beautiful monologue about your singing on the spot, but one thing's for sure—she loves you and you singing, even if her ears can't understand it. It was still a beautiful piece.

After all, she was the All-Powerful Hydro Archon before she retired. She knows power and art when she sees it, and you bypass all forms of mortal concepts. You're practically her favorite musician!

Please grace her—I mean them—with your singing! It's too beautiful to miss!

Ghost Rebel Side Notes: I am SAD I couldn't finish this when it was still AROUND CHRISTMAS SOBBING, but I hope y'all like this post, though! Hopefully my next post won't take too long—but I'm not gonna say anything because rn I'm EATING those words up like it's for breakfast lol—I'll see you all next time :)

PowerPoint night with the genshin cast ✨

NO BC I SAW THIS IN MY INBOX AND I WAS FROTHING AT THE MOUTH WITH TOO MANY IDEASSS, the energy is just this:

You introduce the wonderful concept of powerpoints, then a powerpoint night and you should expect absolute chaos

Mondstadt over here like,

"Why I Deserve Wine:

I am a god

I am YOUR god, give me offerings duh

(insert conclusion here)"

by Venti, he didn't even both filling out some slides, and they're all just plain text with maybe a nice selfie of himself on the first slide lmao

STOP, DILUC'S POWERPOINT BEING A 40 SLIDE PRESENTATION RESPONSE TO VENTI'S AHALKSJ

or better yet, Creator!You version:

"An Explanation of Why the One Above Us All Would Enjoy Living in Liyue During Their Stay Here" by Zhongli, which takes approx. 4+ hours to get thru, and its his case for why u should stay in Liyue Harbor - half the ppl there are actually paying attention and the other half are fast asleep (u included)

Meanwhile Yae Miko trying to stir the pot like, "Which Vision-User, God, or Nation is Our Ruler's Favorite" 💀

Also another presentation that would make several ppl give response presentations and it just becomes: HER SISTER WAS A WITCH BRO = THE CREATOR LIKES SUMERU MORE BRO

CRYING- people like Zhongli, Albedo, Alhaitham, Xingqiu, Neuvillette, Xiao, Sucrose, Jean, Ei/Raiden Shogun, Faruzan all misunderstanding and thinking u actually want a real presentation from them 😭😭

ngl all the Sumeru/Akademiya/Fontaine characters have probably gotten somewhat close to doing some kind of equivalent to this, mostly bc ppl will debate abt the stupidest stuff over there so they get it, wonder if they made drinking games out of it lol

(first question from Sumeru characters is "what is powerpoint night, and why has Alhaitham probably already won it")

pls im so braindead rn there are ENDLESS possibilities for this, if anyone has more I am LISTENING!!!

Safe Travel 0rah,

💀♒

[ymechi]

Who is the real Creator?

Sorry this took so long I have so much to say but I have no idea where to start. I hope you guys are okay with how it ended and the decision I made. This is a yandere au but with Nahida it is platonic (and the rest of the underage characters).

-TW: cult au, yandere, impostor au, mentions of being hunted down, mentions of trauma, self harm (nothing major)

-Gn reader and darling (please tell me if I mess this up message me and I will fix it)

part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, this is part 5, part 6

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reader began to unpack their stuff, it was mostly clothes and books, everything else like cooking utensils was unnecessary as there were attendants who would handle stuff like cooking and cleaning. Reader guessed that was the perks of being an Archon.

The room was a bit of a mess the large doors were open and the boxes littered the floor with various trinkets and Readers personal belongings. 

One should not look down on how much stuff one can gather, even in a foreign world. Soon they would be able to write poems with how well their vocabulary had gotten.

Reader took out a shirt and folded it neatly putting it inside the nicely carved wardrobe. They felt a little out of place in the spacious and very fancy room. Yet there was a certain charm towards it, Reader especially loved the tall glass windows that let the sunlight in.

"I see you are already settling in."

"Oh, Nahida! I did not see you there, yeah I thought it was best to do it while I could."

"You know there are attendants if you ever need help, please don't feel too bad it's their job after all."

"Well if you put it that way. . . I guess I could use a hand with the rest of the clothes." 

Reader had underestimated how many clothes they had, it was boring to fold them and sort them all. They had bought most of their clothes and personal items as both Nahida and Reader did not know the extent of the tension that Darling's reveal would cause.

They looked through the boxes and one object caught Readers eye. It shined as the sun reflected on it. Reader took it out and observed it. This was a gift Darling had given them, it was a Fanoos that was intricately carved and made out of polished gold. The lantern's glass was made out of various colors in geometrical shapes. Overall it was very beautiful something Reader would like.

Speaking of. . .

"Nahida what will happen to Darling after. . . you know?"

Nahida watched the lantern that was in their hand without saying anything and then looked at Reader with a smile.

"It was decided that they would go to an isolated temple in Inazuma for their own safety. Even if they are innocent we can't be too careful what others might do."

Well, at least Darling would be safe there was no need to worry after all they had the Raiden shogun. Inazuma would be far away though.

They looked at the Fanoos, it would be pretty to add it near the nightstand. . . There was already a lamp there, so they decided to put it on a bookshelf instead.

"It looks very nice on the shelf there," said Nahida.

"Yeah, I am glad you think so too," replied Reader.

Reader saw a familiar hat figure silhouette from the open door. It was Wanderer as they had expected, curiously he was carrying several moving boxes as well.

"That is right I forgot to tell you Wanderer decided for extra security to move in here as well, I saw no reason to turn him down."

"O-oh but is it fine for him to just move like that because of me?"

Wanderer must have heard the conversation as he turned to look directly at them. He nodded toward Reader who gave him a small wave. After the status of Readers creator-hood was revealed Wanderer had taken to being polite to Reader but after some more nagging on their part, he had mellowed down a bit. He did tease them from time to time as was normal between them.

Reader hoped with time they could go back to the usual scowling Wanderer who did not hesitate to say what was on his mind.

However, that did make Reader ponder why he turned polite while Nahida stayed the same.

Reader must have been staring at Nahida as the Archon looked at them with a tilted head.

"I see you two are talking behind my back, not very nice I must say."

"We were just talking about your new living arrangements," she looked at Wanderer with an innocent look, "you know, it made their grace feel really bad."

Reader snorted at Nahida's jab at getting into Wanderer.

Wanderer looked surprised but sighed looking at Reader with a sincere expression they did not expect to get today.

"There is no need to concern yourself with that I chose to move out of my own violation, no one forced me to."

Reader gave an awkward smile and wrung their hands together.

"Alright, but I still feel bad-," Wanderer sighed at Reader, "let me finish! I feel bad so if you need any help come to me okay?"

Wanderer looked like he was about to turn down the offer until Nahida interjected.

"Actually since you both are moving in how about we all take a shopping trip to buy decorations, you can then ask Reader for advice on what to buy, two birds in one stone."

"A shopping trip sounds nice," Reader said and looked at Wanderer with hopeful eyes.

Wanderer closed his eyes and sighed.

"It seems you won't let this go, fine then let me put these stuff down and we can go down to the market."

Nahida and Reader looked at each other with a smile. It was going to be a fun trip.

.

.

.

The sunset this day was a bright crimson and was fading into orange at the horizon. There was no cloud in sight. the people were gathered near the central temple in Sumeru. One of the Creator's temples. Reader grimaced.

They adjusted their hood once again feeling nervous not to get caught. Wanderer held their hand more tightly and they gave a squeeze back feeling thankful.

Soon one of the heads of the religion came out near the podium.

The people were confused and some were curious but it was clear soon everyone would find out what the gathering was for.

Nahida stepped up as well, and she began to speak. Then the priest took over and Reader watched everyone's face turn to shock and outrage.

Impostor.

Reader clenched their jaw and held Wanderer's hand tighter. He did not flinch or let go.

Nahida and the priest calmed the people down in the end but there was still much tension left.

By the end of it Reader and Wanderer left the place.

.

.

.

They met Nahida outside of a meeting room. She looked exhausted and Reader's heart ached. With clumsy hands, they took out a juice bottle they had.

"You look tired, please take some."

Nahida gave a small smile and nodded.

"Thank you."

Her voice was small and a bit hoarse no doubt from all the talking. Once again Reader felt awful not being able to do anything, especially since Nahida was a dear friend.

"Please don't worry about me I am fine, as an Archon this is one of the many duties I must attend to," her face turned more serious looking at Reader, "I am afraid we are not done yet this is your turn now."

Reader's shoulders squared and they nodded. Right, it was their turn now. No more running away and this time they were not alone either. Reader looked at their friends and gave a reassuring smile.

Nahida smiled and nodded at them before turning and opening the door.

It wasn't as intimidating as they had imagined when they entered the room. It was decided for Reader's sake they would ask the acolyte and Archons who would be able to attend to come and not tell anything of the importance of the meeting. Naturally since the recent announcement from the church most would be busy, only those who had time would come and it would not be a large group. It was better for Reader to start off small Nahida had recommended and they agreed.

The Archon’s that were able to attend were unsurprisingly Venti and Zhongli. Yet most people in the room would be unaware of the importance of such figures.

As they entered Nahida stepped in front of them while Wanderer walked behind them, they felt rather safe this way.

The others who had arrived were Diluc, Lisa, Cyno, Kujo Sara and Chlorinde. Quite the cast had come. Now all of their eyes were on the trio but mostly on Reader as they stood in front.

Nahida stepped up to speak but Reader beat them to it putting a hand in front of her, all while still looking at their audience.

The sky outside was just as red there was an odd silence in the wind. The shadows on the acolytes' faces deepened and their eyes became glaring embers of accusation evident on their eyes.

Impostor.

They had thought a lot about what to say, and there were many words and accusations they wanted to scream at the top of their lungs until Reader's voice became hoarse and dry. Yet what were words when actions could speak louder?

They took out the same kitchen knife from before on that day from their pocket. They did not bother to look at their reactions. Reader took out their palm and cut it and watched as it bled a brilliant gold. They were still unused to the sight themselves and took a moment to admire it.

They heard a sharp breath. Before anyone could speak they threw the knife onto the table.

Reader then left the room.

YALL

Imposter AU

But the true creator can use the spirits of beloved followers to help in battle (or in everyday situations)

Like

Imagine having to fight the Raiden Shogun, but Makoto's spirit shows up to assist

Or running from Kaeya/Diluc, when Crepus pulls you away from an incoming attack

Hell, want to make it really painful?

Zhongli seeing Guizhong after so many years, only to feel utterly crushed that she was helping the one he thought was a fake.

OR

Venti trying to capture you, but he stops short when the spirit of his friend stands in front of you, shielding you from harm

Just.

Ghosts, bruh.

Can you please do genshin impact characters zhongli, raiden shogun, and childe listing to listing Enemy by Imagine Dragons and JID. Thank you

.·:🎼¨༺ Songs from the heart ༻¨🎼:·. | Enemy!

Characters: Raiden Shogun, Childe, Zhongli

Song: Enemy by Imagine Dragons & JID

Warnings: Yandere themes, Angst, possessive thoughts, a mental spiral, murder

A/U: Self aware genshin AU

a/n: Enemy is one of my favorite songs! Thank you so much for requesting this!!

ZHONGLI

You were exploring with Zhongli, as he heard music surround him. It wasn’t out of the normal for you to play music as you played, but one particular song played. He was startled, however, when he noticed your reaction to it. He was frozen, seeing you having what looked like a panic attack. One lyric in particular caught his attention because of your reaction to it. 

“Pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint, no way”

That one lyric hit him real hard. Zhongli always had trouble with the fact that people idolize the name Morax, even after retiring from the Archon title. He always felt like a lousy Archon after retiring, and hearing something that related so close to his feelings shook him. Especially from you, the all mighty god and creator. The self-pity feeling dissipated when he heard your breathing become even faster. 

Zhongli turned his gaze to see if you were getting worse. You were, and it only made Zhongli become even angrier. Your tears enraged the Geo Archon. He didn’t know how to interpret this song, but he took it as a cry for help. He wanted to kill those who were picking on you, hurting you to the point of a mental break-down. Zhongli wasn’t sure if this was from recent events, or past events, but all that mattered was this song reminding you of pained memories.

His eyes widened when you started to hurt yourself with your own hands. His mind started to spiral along with yours. Someone was going to get very hurt if they pissed off Zhongli after you logged off. His hands trembled as this wave of violent urges came over him. He tried to keep a fixated gaze on your tear stained face, plotting the revenge of those that caused you to look like this. 

“Those lowlifes will regret ever making an enemy of you, my dearest god.”

CHILDE

He was humming to himself as you were completing commissions easily with him. He loved listening to the music you picked while you played. Childe, however, had caught on to your feelings quite quickly. He was keeping a close eye on you, but noticed you starting to spiral as this song started to play. A substantial amount of anger arose in his mind as one lyric connected with him. 

“Everybody wants to be my enemy”

Childe’s mind went to very dark places, his eyes dulling in rage. His smile morphed into a neutral line, his lips quivering with the shaking rage. It didn’t matter what caused you to feel so upset. But there was this sense of sympathy, being seen as the enemy himself by others. There was this need to hold you and comfort you. To tell you that it’s okay to be seen as the bad guy. 

His thoughts were full of paranoia now. What if you hated him for being part of the bad guy organization. He started a crisis alongside you, but it got worse every time he looked into your pained eyes. Childe’s hands trembled, his bow still transformed into his double swords. Childe’s mind became more and more violent the more the song went on. 

He was seeing red, wanting to bring those down that made you cry. Childe wanted to take you away from the world that hurt you. He was working so hard to find a way to bring you into his arms with the Fatui. His elemental skill was activated automatically, but your mind was too busy with the panic. He brought one of the surrounding enemies down by himself, without your control because he was so upset that someone could bring you to this panicked state. 

“If everyone sees you as an enemy, then we will be enemies together and let those who disagree fall below our feet.”

RAIDEN SHOGUN

Ei was in an all happy mood as you used her puppet to wonder around Teyvat. You were taking photo’s loving the game’s scenery and Ei was happy that she was the subject of those photos. She was intrigued by the music you were playing. It was so foreign to her because no place in Teyvat had music like this. Her ears perked up as she heard you becoming distressed as one particular song played, and one lyric connected the most with her.

“Your words up on the wall as you're praying for my fall And the laughter in the halls and the names that I've been called”

Ei’s whole mood changed, seeing you having a panic attack. She felt her puppet come back as there was a coldness of murderous urges rise. Ei tried to keep control, but she felt the same murderous intent. Thunderstorms started to form within the Inazuman sky, representing Ei’s anger. She was fighting so hard not to lose it in front of you. But for some reason, there was a sense of relatability with the lyric.

Ei understood the feeling of people hoping for her downfall, especially during the era of the Sakoku Decree. Her mind went to the past, the mistake of letting the puppet she created to reign over Inazuma without her influence. There was so much resentment for herself, as well as for those who hurt you. Her thoughts focused on every single possibility where she wasn’t there to help protect you.

Her mind was splitting with so many overwhelming images. She had this sense that she failed you. She fell to her knees, eyes wide and teary with disbelief. Ei begged for you to stop crying, but alas you couldn't hear her through a screen. There was one last thing she muttered, however.

“Those who ruin my eternity with your happiness shall face the wrath of the Electro Archon.”

[mossstep]

I set the poll for too long, so anyways,

SAGAU ARCHON HEADCANONS!

I am a minor, don’t be weird

For those not in the know: Sagau means self aware Genshin au!

Gonna test out some formatting with this one, so yeah!

Nahida’s is strictly platonic, while the other archons are up to interpretation!

4.2 archon/story quest spoilers

VENTI

For Venti I think he’d be one of the more chill archons. He’d always try to be by your side, but would give you space if need-be. He obviously wouldn’t want to out his secret as the archon, so the people of Monstadt assume you just like his songs, or pity the bard for his lack of money.

Venti wouldn’t be mad if you outed him as an archon, he’d understand that the creator’s will is far more important than his wishes, but he’d still be disappointed.

Venti would almost immediately recognize you as the creator even if you were trying to stay hidden. After all, it’d be embarrassing if one of the original seven didn’t recognize you.

He’d always try to write you into his songs after you arrive in teyvat. He’d stop if you asked, but If you say nothing he’ll just keep going.

ZHONGLI

Zhongli, being one of the oldest, if not the oldest still living god on teyvat. Because of this, he, like the tone deaf bard, recognizes you immediately.

He is very reverent and respectful towards you after so long, but he does loosen up over time.

Zhongli would come out of retirement immediately (much to Liyue’s shock and surprise) as to properly serve your every need.

Zhongli can be a bit overbearing but will back off if asked.

Zhongli respects you as the people of Liyue respect him. If you vanish for even a few hours without giving him a heads up he will send out a search party. You’re too important to be out on your own.

RAIDEN EI/SHOGUN

Arriving in Inazuma you are able to lay low for awhile, before an accident reveals your golden blood. The tenryou commission is immediately alerted and drags you straight to the almighty shogun whether you like it or not.

Ei is incredibly overbearing, refusing to let you go anywhere without the shogun or at least ten people to protect you. She doesn’t mean to be controlling, she just doesn’t want to lose you like she lost makato.

If you were to arrive during the vision hunt decree she would either become way more strict, or completely end it depending on your reaction.

While making the shogun Ei programmed her to follow whatever you say, since you’re the almighty creator, you must know the way eternity is heading.

NAHIDA (PLATONIC)

Nahida and you likely meet by chance while you two are on a walk around sumeru city. Nahida probably assumes you’re a human, because having been locked up for 500 years she doesn’t have enough experience with gods to be able to tell one apart from a human.

So you probably end up telling her on one of your chance meeting, because as an archon, she should probably know. Nahida doesn’t make such a big deal about it, on the condition that you tell her what you know about teyvat AND earth. Of course the god of knowledge would try to learn as much as possible.

You two probably have sleepovers (which nahida drags Scaramouche into) after you tell her. At said sleepovers you two likely trade knowledge back and forth. (Scaramouche would likely butt in with facts about inazuma’s fucked up flora)

FURINA (IDC SHE’S NOT THE ARCHON, SHE’S AN ARCHON IN MY HEART) and Neuvillette

Furina, as a human, doesn’t realize you’re the creator until you tell her that you know she’s a human. She swears you to secrecy and you agree for the sake of Fontaine, she confides in you about her struggles, and you promise to make it up to her once everything is done.

Neuvillette recognizes you immediately and asks you about what’s up with Furina, you obviously don’t tell him, and he accepts that.

After the prophecy you and neuvillette, and Furina hang out on occasion, because the two likely wouldn’t speak often without you.

Also you smack the shit out of the traveler and paimon during Furina’s story quest because they deserve it <3

RELY ON YOUR MEMORIES.

BASICALLY BRAINROT. a self-aware genshin au (note) long, not accurate lore spoilers, celestia is painted to be bad, archon war mentions and all that goes with it

Twice the Grace was the first title idea because this will include two Divine Creators in the story, and the second one was Rely on Your Memories since I thought to mix in an imposter au, which is liked but is said to be too cliche.

Basically, there was the Creator who died, but then another that looked like them appeared a millennium later, and then another one appeared after the another millennium (arrival of the traveler).

BASICALLY MC, who is in earth, is downloading Genshin Impact and that made the puppet slowly gain their own understanding and soul different from the Creator, who they were supposed to act as.

MC controls the puppet upon first arrival, which was five years before Genshin Impact actually started; they saved Crepus and earned the devotion of the Harbingers, who served the Tsaritsa in hopes they'd meet you again.

In the puppet's free time, they studied about MC and learned to like what they've done for Teyvat.When the Traveler arrived, MC controls the traveler and never the puppet again, but the traveler had the same feeling MC emits when they posses the puppet.

When the puppet tries to separate the soul of MC from the traveler, they failed and it was because MC lacks knowledge about the entire of Teyvat, so the puppet manipulated the commissions and triggers meetings for MC.

After that, the puppet brought MC to Teyvat and all that.

THE CREATOR'S PROFILE The Creator was friends with every God, as they are held in high regard and are respected, but they hold the Gods of the seven nations closer.

They helped shape Teyvat with Celestia, but once the ground was made, Celestia left for the Northeast, which would soon be called Mondstadt.

They guarded Teyvat and manipulated its people in order to avoid troubles and wars, but they were unable to do the same many years after as they started losing their abilities hence unable to provide which made Gods mistrust them.

THE CREATOR'S DEATH The Creator soon died after their magic had started failing them, and when they once tried to stop Decarabian from trying to gain control over Mondstadt, they died since they had gotten too weak.

Their body was preserved in Mondstadt, but after a while, Decarabian took them because they were being cherished more than he was.

Despite the Gods of the (soon-to-be) Nations feeling the oddity as though something died, it took them a while to actually find out that the Creator died because Decarabian never let the people of Mondstadt, who were the witnesses, out.

RELATIONSHIP WITH CELESTIA It was pretty bad. Before their death, Celestia left all the work to the Creator and even drained their magic when everything was too peaceful for their liking, even after the Creator's death, their body remained on Teyvat.

Other than that information, the rest were unknown, and they left those, who knew that they were left in Teyvat, to judge Celestia.

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WISP OF WIND They got attached to it after it started following them around a lot, solely because it was fixated on their noble soul. It wasn't afraid to mess around with them as if they weren't the Creator.

RELATIONSHIP WITH REX LAPIS The Creator first met him after Celestia appointed him as a God, and they were curious why Morax was allowed to be up there while they couldn't. Morax was the first to like them for simply being who they are and not because of their title.

According to the Cloud Retainer and Guizhong, he was one that would seek them despite not being called on.

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE RAIDEN SHOGUN Neutral, they share almost the same perspective of the world, but they were not able to befriend her as much as she does with Morax because Makoto had her own group of friends.

RELATIONSHIP WITH GREATER LORD RUKKHADEVATA They exchange knowledge, and she was the one to invite herself in on multiple occasions because she knows how lonely the Creator must be; she said this herself.

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GOD OF JUSTICE ...

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GOD OF WAR ...

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CRYO ARCHON ...

The Creator was in Celestia when they were sent down to shape Teyvat, but was abandoned at the northwest, which they first treated like home, because it was their first creation.

Creating Teyvat took them so long that they had forgotten their name, so when Celestia started appointing the Gods, they couldn't even introduce themself properly to Rex Lapis even though they approached him to know what Celestia told him.

They wanted to know what Celestia wanted them to do, but when Rex Lapis only mentioned that people were only appointed as Gods, they were disheartened; he did not know they were the Creator until later on.

Funnily enough, it was also the Creator who bestowed the names Makoto and Ei on the twins because they wanted them to have a mortal name that they could use, since the Creator couldn't even shift their appearance.

The Creator had the ability to receive visions when Teyvat was in danger or if it was reaching the point of a potential war incoming, so they manipulated many dreams, moods, and memories in order to avoid wars; they were also able to provide many things for people to be satisfied.

So when a wisp of wind soon arrived, the Creator knew immediately that the wisp of wind was dangerous to them because they felt their magic being taken slowly; it became clear to them that Celestia did not like how things were peaceful.

The wisp of wind was slowly draining their magic so the Creator tried to avoid it at first, but the wisp of wind was attracted to their noble soul and began following them around.

It was supposed to be fixated, since the Creator was someone that it needed to drain their magic from, but the wisp truly did adore them, and it acts like a human, only unable to speak and having a human body; it never knew its presence was draining their magic.

The Creator could never find it in themself to kill the lifeform that they had gotten close to, no matter the cost, because it was their friend and their only travel companion until it decided to reside in Mondstadt.

The visions they see began coming less frequently, or sometimes late, since the wisp of wind continues to drain their magic. They relied on the representatives (soon-to-be Archons) of each nation to do their job properly and inform them of the happenings in their Nation.

The Creator called on the wisp of wind and Rex Lapis, whom they now call Morax, at the same time so they could ask what was happening in their nations.

Wine and tea were present, as was sand, where the Creator told the wisp of wind to write what was going on in Mondstadt; it wrote something akin to the nation being cold, and Morax told the Creator that Decarabian went to Mondstadt and that some Gods were starting to act by themselves.

It was when they were about to give the wisp of wind a name that they suddenly had a vision of a future where they saw the wisp of wind drinking with Morax — a vision where they weren't there.

As an extreme drawback of seeing that far, one of the irises of the Creator's eyes faded, and their sense of sight in the same eye blurred.

Morax noticed this and fretted over the Creator, who played it off before asking if they can grace Morax a mortal name too for being concerned for their well-being.

Morax was given the mortal name Zhongli, while the wisp of wind was given two names: the first was Barbatos, and the other was Venti, which the Creator said they liked better.

After the meeting was over, the Creator marched to Mondstadt the day after to challenge Decarabian but failed, resulting their death by his hands.

The Creator wished for a life where they, too, could live like a mortal.

People of Mondstadt thought the Creator favored the nation and decided to preserve their being, but Decarabian soon grew jealous of how people loved the Creator more than they do with him and hid their body.

Since Decarabian forbade the people of Mondstadt to go out, the news of the Creator's death was too late to be heard by the others; by the time their death was announced, the Archon War was about to start.

ARCHON WAR This is where Celestia had appointed the Seven Archons, and when the wisp of wind gained a body, he now goes by the Archon name Barbatos but also lives as a mortal named Venti.

Ones who died during the Archon War canonly, also died in this alternative universe.

Celestia did not want to deal with cleaning up the messes from the war, so they made a puppet or an artificial person with the appearance of the Creator (so no one would suspect it) and sent it down; Celestia has control over it and no one knew it wasn't the Creator.

It was not intentional, but the puppet began developing its own soul. They have the memories of the Creator and are supposed to act like them, but there are a few mistakes due to their different perspectives of the world.

The puppet dismissed or did not have time for the friends the Creator held close because it was rushing to finish cleaning up the spoils of the Archon War.

THE CATACLYSM The puppet can't even finish the cleaning up when the cataclysm was started to start and Durin, the dragon, started behaving strangely.

With the memories of the Creator, it cannot bring itself to follow Celestia's orders. It attempted to help before things worsened but was forced to go to sleep by Celestia.

Barbatos was the one to find their passed-out state, thinking that they were overworked. He brought their body to the cathedral and was the one to notice that the puppet seemed dead rather than asleep.

He called the healers before helping with Durin's situation with the help of Dvalin. Barbatos feared another loss or the possibility of the Creator (the puppet) dying once more, but he couldn't find out anything because he slept after exhausting himself.

Ei started to dislike the Creator (aka the puppet) because she didn't know that they were also out during the entire Cataclysm, and she thought the Creator had let Makoto die; the abyss twin and Dainslief felt the same since Khaenri'ah was destroyed and its citizens turned into mounters.

Morax questioned the Creator's (puppet) disappearance during the Cataclysm, only to find out their current state, which was that they were in a coma, but he did not feel anything because he didn't feel what the Creator made him feel before they died.

TIME DILATION During the puppet's coma, they started to gain control of themself a bit due to the Creator, and now the MC (who has the creator's soul) downloading the game.

The puppet woke up feeling like a different person but still had the Creator's memories; they woke up five years before Genshin Impact originally started, and in MC's view, the game was only getting installed.

Hours to MC was a year in Teyvat. The puppet spent a year looking into the Creator's deeds through books written by them or from the words of people, and the puppet grew to like the Creator.

Since this was five years prior to the original start of Genshin Impact and the twin was not there, MC unintentionally controlled the puppet, who blacked out, and they also accidentally saved Crepus.

MC got confused about why their game started that way and their character carried Crepus all the way to the cathedral before logging off, making the puppet's consciousness return, and was confused too.

Diluc and Kaeya were already fighting, and Kaeya got his vision when the puppet went to inform the two about their father being alive, making the two feel indebted towards the Creator (MC or the puppet).

Whenever the puppet blacks out, it means that MC logs in. They wake up to hear good things happening, which makes the puppet less wary of their blackouts.

One time, the puppet kept their consciousness on and was able to see what MC was doing and sense MC themself and their noble soul, but couldn't point out who exactly they were.

Whenever the puppet isn't busy with the affairs of handing Teyvat, they go around to learn more about the Creator or the situation (blackouts and all).

The puppet, using the Creator's memories, slowly started approaching Morax to ask him about the Creator, but it took the puppet a while to figure out who Venti was because he was no longer a wisp.

When MC is around, the puppet tries to keep their consciousness open, and the puppet can sense what MC feels, mostly the love and fondness they have for the people of Teyvat.

MC was most curious about Shenzhnaya though, so when they logged in, they teleported there despite it not being open in the original Genshin Impact (yet); they helped people and unintentionally changed the timeline.

They once helped Pantalone in the early game and gave him a place to stay and mora in Mondstadt, then continued to accidentally meet the other future harbingers until they also started feeling in debt to the Creator.

The soon-to-be harbingers have no contact and have joined the Fatui in hopes that the Creator has contact with the Tsaritsa.

TRAVELER'S ARRIVAL The puppet instantly felt the similarity of the traveler's aura with the one that controls them; the puppet was still unaware that the one controlling them is MC or the one that has the Creator's soul.

The puppet wants to meet MC, so they tried to summon them by trying to separate the part of MC's soul from the traveler's so the puppet could put the small part of MC's soul in a different body, but couldn't due to MC's lack of exploration in Genshin Impact.

It was rejecting moving the MC's (the creator's) soul because they are new to the game and don't know the history of Teyvat or even about the Creator (themself).

MC IS THE CREATOR The part of the Creator's noble soul on the traveler lets them open the Statue of the Seven(s), and Venti made a comment about how the traveler's being feels familiar, which made everything click for the puppet.

Since the puppet has the Creator's soul, they also have knowledge about their Creator's only wish, which was to live a mortal life.

The puppet realized the Creator's wish almost came true because they died and was reborn on a different world, which was why their soul was not with Celestie and why the puppet had their own soul instead of just using the Creator's when they died.

The puppet started manipulating the commissions to get the traveler's (MC) exploration up, and they trigger meetings, mostly with the immortal ones, that bring up the Creator's past deeds so MC can learn about their old life.

The puppet also interacts with MC in the game by sending mail, under the example that it was sent by HoYoverse and that it had a big reward with a 'must answer/reply to' opinionated letters. They also add some more trivia about the Creator and the Nations, MC basically knows more than the traveler at this point.

THE JOURNEY STARTS The puppet prepares the ritual-like things that include the Creator's body that was preserved before, and when MC has enough exploration, they are sucked into the screen and to Teyvat.

Paimon sees a see-through (presumably soul) separating from the Traveler before MC gains the Creator's body, and then Paimon yells that MC looks familiar to the Creator (puppet).

MC decides what to do next.

(from me) honestly i planned for MC to go around and meeting the characters by nation but the knowledge i have for the nations is limited that i dropped the entire idea i just typed above. in the end, MC finds out that they're basically the divine creator and talks to the puppet, who was willing to give the place to MC, who says that they don't want it and decides to live like a mortal, but would help the puppet if they need it. the puppet likes work.

[s0nia246]

Story brainrot idea

This au in which you/oc/traveler/creator (whatever you prefer) finds the Raiden shogun puppet damaged from her fight in Ei's story quest act 2 Imperatrix Umbrosa. You take her to your home and fix her up. (also Wanderer, Scaramouche, and Kunikuzushi also stay with you. Don't question it. Okay....XD).

If anyone wants to write this or use this idea. Send the link.

Part two to the add-on

[feen-feet]

The Shogun Puppet and Scaramouche

Been thinking about an AU where Raiden's consciousness was in the Plane of Euthymia when Scaramouche attempted to erase himself, and was shielded from the memory-altering effects of that attempt. Scara goes back to Inazuma with a delegation from Sumeru (Nahida forced him to go lol), expecting to be able to visit his home with a fresh eye, except oops someone remembers him and wants a word.

This is mostly about getting them to talk because good god these two have a lot they could talk about.

Here's a snippet I wrote, set shortly after Raiden confronts him after tailing him all day.

----

He felt the spearhead sharp against his neck, and cool, slick stone at his back. He heard nothing but his own breathing – pounding rain and thunder beyond the crumbled walls of the ruins drowned out all else. She stood before him, shadowed by lightning. Her eyes burned the same amethyst fire as the weapon about to take his head. The weapon was one of a kind, worthy of one owner. Early memories decay and warp as centuries pass, but he remembered the weapon. He remembered her. His creator, his nemesis. The feature of every warped, shrieking nightmare he'd ever had, now come true. "You know who I am." She broke the silence. What an idiotic way to do so. "Everyone knows who you are," he grunted. She shook her head. "You misunderstand. You know... who I am."

Behind her, the rain had eased. He could hear again. He heard the near silent, peculiar but familiar grind of her joints. He did not hear her breathe, and noticed her chest neither rose nor fell. Now, when he searched for it, he could sense it. All her presence, all her might took the form of a shell. An immense void, much like his, only hers was full. He ceased breathing, dropping the pretence it was necessary. "You're her puppet." Her eyes flared. She flexed, and the spearhead pierced his skin, just enough for his false blood to trickle down the blade. The liquid burned and evaporated in the spearhead's electro aura. "I am the Raiden Shogun, the supreme guardian of Inazuma, appointed by the God of Thunder. You are the prototype upon which I was based. You were discarded. You are here representing Buer, God of Wisdom, yet you were, or perhaps are, the Sixth Harbinger of the Fatui. Across your existence, you have inflicted innumerable wounds against the citizens of my nation." Her eyes narrowed. "Do you deny any of this?" His head spun. He felt his skin attempting to seal around the spearhead's tip, without success. The crackle in his ears was deeply irritating. He could not focus. "How... how do you know-" "I know for the same reason you know. It is the truth. Now, explain," she said. Her grip tightened on the spear's shaft. Her voice bore the rumble of a distant thunderstorm. "How was the truth forgotten by all but myself?"

[logicaltips]

I wonder who Sara would choose to follow during the Imposter AU if she knew that the imposter was actually the real creator; the Shogun who is hunting the Creator or the very person the Shogun worships.
