Fragments of Silence: Scaramouche x Aether
In the aftermath of a fierce battle, the Traveler finds himself overwhelmed by a flood of memories not his own. Memories of a life filled with betrayal, anguish, and a relentless search for purpose. These are the hidden truths of Scaramouche, the enigmatic Harbinger of the Fatui, whose past is a labyrinth of shadows and secrets waiting to be unveiled.
Bound together by an unintentional and intimate understanding, Aether and Scaramouche are thrust into a journey of self-discovery, forced to confront the complexities of their own identities and the inexplicable connection that now ties them together. As they navigate a world that is both familiar and foreign, they must decide whether to remain enemies or to find solace in the fragments of silence that speak louder than words.
Caught in a dance of vulnerability and strength, empathy and defiance, their paths twist and turn through the heart of Sumeru. Here, amidst the secrets of the Akademiya and the whispers of a world on the brink of change, a story of two souls unfolds- a tale of pain, acceptance, and the unexpected pull of fate.
Fragments of Silence is a tale of accidental connection, a slow-burning exploration of what it means to truly see someone beneath the masks they wear. In the quiet spaces between conflict and compassion, will they find a way to bridge the divide, or will the silence between them grow ever wider?
This story does contain OCs that are not canon to the world of Genshin Impact and will include a fair amount of fantasy elements.
