Scaramouche x Reader: Shadows of the Past

In the sprawling world of Teyvat, you were an ordinary girl living a simple life, your days filled with mundane tasks and quiet moments. But all of that changed when you encountered Scaramouche, the enigmatic and ruthless Harbinger of the Fatui. Known for his toxic demeanor and bullying nature, Scaramouche's very presence was enough to instill fear in the hearts of many.

One fateful evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the land, you found yourself cornered by Scaramouche. His violet eyes glinted with malice as he raised his hand, electrical energy crackling around his fingers.

"Say goodbye, little girl," he sneered, preparing to strike.But as your eyes locked with his, time seemed to stand still. A flash of memories surged through both of your minds, revealing a past life where your fates were intricately intertwined.

Flashback to the Past Life

In your past life, you and Scaramouche were not just lovers, but powerful and respected figures. You were a sorceress of unparalleled skill, able to bend the elements to your will. Scaramouche was your partner, a warrior whose strength matched your magic.

Together, you protected your kingdom from threats both within and without, your bond unbreakable and your love fierce. But as your powers grew, so did the fear in the hearts of the people. They whispered of your abilities, labeling you as a witch and cursing your name.

As the rival kingdom's forces descended upon your kingdom, chaos reigned supreme. You and Scaramouche fought side by side, your magic and his swordplay cutting through the enemy ranks. But despite your best efforts, the enemy was relentless, their numbers overwhelming.

Despite their fear, you and Scaramouche remained steadfast, your love for each other unwavering. But tragedy struck when a rival kingdom launched a surprise attack, seeking to destroy everything you held dear.

In a desperate bid to save your kingdom, you unleashed a devastating spell, but it was too much. 

Scaramouche, fighting nearby, saw you fall and rushed to your side, cutting down any who dared to approach.

He knelt beside you, cradling your head in his arms, his eyes filled with tears. "Y/n, no... Please, don't leave me."

You weakly reached up, brushing his cheek with your hand. "Kuni, it's okay. We fought... together. That's all... that matters."

But Scaramouche shook his head, refusing to accept your fate. "No, I won't let you go. I can't... I love you too much."

Despite his protests, you felt the darkness creeping in, the world around you fading away. With your last ounce of strength, you whispered, "Remember me, Kuni. Remember... us."

The power consumed you, leaving nothing but ashes in its wake. Scaramouche, devastated by your loss, vowed to find a way to bring you back, no matter the cost.

Back to the Present

The memory hit Scaramouche like a tidal wave, the pain and grief of losing you crashing over him once more. He remembered holding you in his arms, feeling your life slip away, and the agony of not being able to save you.

Scaramouche lowered his hand, the electrical energy dissipating as confusion and a flicker of recognition filled his eyes. "Y/n... is it really you?"

Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked at you, the realization of your shared past hitting him with full force. "Y/n... I remember. I remember how you died, how I couldn't save you."

You looked at him, confusion and sorrow in your eyes. "Scaramouche, I... I don't understand."

He reached out, taking your hands in his. "I couldn't bear to let you go, Y/n. I wanted to hold onto you forever, to keep you safe. But you slipped away from me, and I couldn't stop it."

You pulled your hands away, taking a step back. "I... I'm sorry, Scaramouche. I didn't know. I didn't remember. You're scaring me."

Scaramouche's heart ached at the sadness in your voice. He took a step closer, gently cupping your face in his hands. "It's okay, Y/n. You don't have to apologize. I'll never let anything like that happen to you again, I swear it."

And then, without thinking, he leaned in and kissed you. It was a gentle and tender kiss, filled with years of longing and regret. And in that moment, everything clicked into place, the memories of your past life flooding back to you with startling clarity.

It felt like everything was swooshing and flashing in your mind. And Finally, you remember what had happened in the past life.

You nodded, tears welling up in your eyes. "Kuni, I remember everything."

He stepped closer, his toxic facade cracking as the memories of your shared past overwhelmed him. "I... I almost killed you. What have I become?"

You reached out, gently touching his face. "You're still the same person who once helped me, who loved me. We can find that part of you again, together."

For the first time in what felt like an eternity, Scaramouche's harsh exterior softened. He pulled you into his arms, holding you close as if afraid to let go. "I never stopped loving you, Y/n. Even if 

I didn't remember, my heart always knew."

From that moment on, Scaramouche vowed to protect you once more, using his strength not to harm but to shield you from the world that had always been so cruel. Your bond, reforged by the memories of your past, became a beacon of hope and love in the dark world of Teyvat.

Though the path ahead was fraught with challenges, you faced them together, your love stronger than any force that tried to tear you apart. And in the end, the shadows that once threatened to consume you became a testament to the enduring power of your love, shining brightly against the darkness.

It was a last-minute kind of idea so I hope you enjoy it.
