A novel of love, lies, and lethal intent.
By day, Y/N and Scaramouche are the picture of success, two rising stars at rival high-powered corporations, commanding boardrooms with icy charm and ruthless ambition. What no one sees behind closed doors is the truth, they're not just business elites, they're assassins. Trained. Deadly. Bound to a life of silence and shadows.
When a secret mission is delivered to each of them, everything changes. The name of the target? Each other.
Now, it's a high-stakes game of cat and mouse behind polite smiles and corporate handshakes. Poisoned drinks, sabotaged elevators, suspicious "accidents", the tension is rising, and so is something far more dangerous.
Y/N can't ignore the strange ache that grows stronger with every encounter. Scaramouche's smirk hides more than knives, it hides a desire just as sharp. But how do you kill the one person who's starting to feel like home?
Love is a battlefield. And this one ends in blood... or a kiss.

Great, It's like a hidden identity (Genshin!Scaramouche x Fem!Reader)
As a Fatui Agent and Scaramouche's secretary AND assistant, you're always doing errands and filling out paperwork- even for the other Harbingers! You don't seem to get a break. Then, unexpectedly, during your break, Lumine adds you to a group chat. When it comes to group chats, you feel like you can be you, and not a Fatui agent. That is until your superiors are added to the chat. So they don't find out who you are, you change your user on all social media platforms, and your friends call you a fake name. It's not like your superiors could give you orders in a group chat, either way. So you were fine! Until Scaramouche starts to DM you, talking about his secretary and assistant known as you, and you wonder how long will you keep this fake name game up? Will you finally reconnect with Childe, your childhood friend? (Let's imagine Scaramouche never tried killing the Travelever ehe) Top rakings- 1. chatfic (1/14/23)Complete

Not A Good Man - Scaramouche x Reader
Truth be told, Scaramouche had watched the entire thing happen from inside the bank. Originally, he was just going to watch for his amusement, but he was very slightly impressed by your reflexes and continued to observe. Many of those working within the Fatui relied on weapons or the elements, but he did not find a vision of any kind on you; you simply reacted as though it was your second nature. He chuckled lightly when the man tumbled to the ground. - In which you, a Fatui agent, are assigned to a mission with the sixth Harbinger Scaramouche.Complete
Kiss Me More || Childe x Reader
"I just realized that you look like a dead fish with your 'no light eyes' concept." The lack of amusement from Childe's face was an evidence for his discontent, and yet you remained nonchalant. "Fuck you, Y/N." "How hard?" ‼️ WARNING: MURDER, YANDERE, ANXIETY, SPOILERS, DRUG, MANIPULATION, ETC. ‼️ *** This is my first english book, I swear it gets more bearable to read in newest chapter. *** [Tartaglia | Childe x Fem!Reader] © All rights reserved to mihoyo, I do not own Genshin Impact characters. #1 in tartaglia - 07/21/21Complete
˚‧꒰აWhen the Lights Learned to Sin˚໒꒱
[!INDEFINITE HIATUS!] In a world that mistakes knowledge for kindness, survival means learning when to stay quiet and when to stand your ground. Brought into the Sanctuary of Surasthana under Nahida's watchful eye, The Forsaken Celestial begins to heal from wounds that run deeper than the body. But recovery is not linear, and trust does not come easily-especially in Teyvat. Crossing paths with Wanderer is inevitable. Neither of them is gentle. Neither of them is forgiving. And yet, something unspoken forms in the spaces between shared silence, sharp words, and the refusal to bend for anyone else.
