What if Scaramouche had been created just after the Raiden sisters won the Archon War? After devouring the soul of someone who had transmigrated and their System, could he bring about a different kind of change?
Before meeting the Traveler, Scaramouche confidently thought: As someone who had lived through the Archon War, witnessed the fall of Khaenri'ah, and raised the banner of rebellion against Celestia, what could he possibly not have seen?
But when that blond Traveler came sliding to his knees, shouting "Wifey!" as they hugged his leg, he thought in bewilderment:
I, former deputy general of the Shogun's army, former chief guest alchemist of Khaenri'ah, former Sixth Harbinger of Snezhnaya, current retainer of the Dendro Archon, Shouki no Kami, The Prodigal, wielder of the authority over illusion and lightning, Anemo Archon...
Well, it seems there really is a scene this grand that I've never seen before.
Timeline:
During his time as the Raiden Shogun's retainer
During his time as a guest alchemist in Khaenri'ah
As the Wanderer
During his time as a Harbinger
During his time as the Dendro Archon's retainer
Author's notes:
* The Genshin Impact tag is mainly here because Scaramouche is going to get together with Ei, unlock cheats through the Blade of Destruction, and work on his emotional intelligence.
* The main plot framework stays the same, but with changes to his experience and identity, some people respect him, some worship him, and some love him. As long as the story doesn't hurt him, I'll make it as satisfying as possible.
* Pairing undecided. I like seeing the boys cuddle.
* There will be OOC moments. If something contradicts canon, just consider it a parallel world. Different experiences would naturally lead to a different personality.
