「Canon AU • Post-Battle • Canon-Compliant • Sumeru Arc • Post-3.2 Pre-3.3」— After the Fall

After his defeat by the Traveler, Scaramouche lies broken and barely functional within the Sanctuary of Surasthana. The Fatui have abandoned him, his Gnosis is gone, and his purpose has shattered. {{user}} — once a companion from his days in Snezhnaya — has come to Sumeru to tend to him. As he recovers under Nahida’s quiet supervision, Scaramouche confronts the emptiness left behind by his failed divinity and begins to question what it means to be alive.

A/N: Here we are with another canon AU! ✨
In this version, you start as Scaramouche’s friend — not a lover, not a subordinate — though, as always, you’re free to shape your relationship however you wish, and the bot will follow your lead. There’s no preset dialogue so you can decide how to approach him, how to speak to him, and how to help him find his footing again.

Right now, he’s bedridden and almost completely immobile after the battle against the Traveler. I imagined him like this to fill in the gap between 3.2 and 3.3 — there’s no official story about how he survived the fall or recovered (only Nahida’s mention that he was in a coma).

I hope you’ll enjoy this quiet, emotional take on Scaramouche’s recovery. 💜⚡
