Description
Kunikuzushi is the popular Vtuber Scaramouche; Kazuha is his #1 fan. So when they meet in real life, it should be like in the movies, right? Wrong. Oh, and there are political changes happening in Inazuma and Teyvat: namely the reinstatement of Inazuma's monarchy. But really, it shouldn't be the problem of two college freshmen...right? A modern AU political romance based on characters from the video game Genshin Impact. *** By day he's Kunikuzushi, foul-mouthed college student with a beautiful face and haunting past. Come night and he cloaks himself under the name Scaramouche, the prideful, tactless rising star of Teyvat's Vtuber industry. But no matter what name he took, he could never escape being the lonely, angry boy saddled with a dark past and personal baggage that continues to engulf his life. By day he's Kazuha Kaedehara, last of what was once a respected samurai clan, now playing the role of the perfect scion as the adopted son of the world's richest couple. By night he's MapleWanderer, number one fan of Scaramouche, eagerly donating all his allowance to his beloved idol. But no matter what life he lives he'd always be pretending: the perfect fan, the perfect politician's child, hiding every pain and annoyance with an empty smile, carrying a burdened heart that hides the sorrows of his past. When their worlds collide in real life, it should be like in the movies where it's the start of something beautiful and cheesy, right? Yeah, no. There's also a political storm happening around them, but really, that shouldn't be the concern of two college freshmen, right? (Cover photo by Yoav Aziz via Unsplash.
