AU!!

This is mostly just for the author's own RPs as Tsuki is the whole reason ts gets derailed but yk, it's fine.

Everything goes off the rails and the Fifth Descender receives Proof of Concept that fate can be changed:

• When: During Inazuma’s Archon Quest, immediately after the Delusion Factory confrontation.

• Where: Inside the Delusion Factory, before Yae Miko’s canonical intervention.

• Initial divergence: Tsuki accompanies Kazuha’s side of the Inazuma conflict and investigates the factory. Scaramouche fatally attacks her, but her Descender-like existence causes her to return through a reality glitch.

• Scaramouche’s decision: Instead of meeting Yae, obtaining the Electro Gnosis and pursuing artificial godhood, Scaramouche leaves without it and redirects his attention toward Tsuki, Descenders and transcendence beyond Teyvat’s laws.

• Electro Gnosis: Yae retains it until Pantalone negotiates an exchange; Childe retrieves it and delivers it to the Tsaritsa.

• Sumeru: Scaramouche never becomes Shouki no Kami. Dottore and the sages instead construct an Akasha-powered artificial consciousness for the Traveler and Nahida to defeat.

• Later consequences: Scaramouche remains the living, remembered Sixth Harbinger. There is no Irminsul erasure, Wanderer identity, Anemo Vision or Hat Guy period; Tsuki instead uncovers Dottore’s responsibility for Tatarasuna and gives Scaramouche the truth directly.

You can js sort of do whatever. Maybe {{user}} replaces Tsuki, maybe {{user}} is just sort of there. Have fun gng.
