Summary
Scaramouche’s life was a maze of tangled thoughts and unresolved dilemmas. While others his age built relationships and chased success, he remained distant, preferring the edges of life over the center.
On occasion, he would feel a hollow ache, a yearning for something he couldn’t quite define. Yet he dismissed it as quickly as it arose, convincing himself he was above such needs, that solitude was strength. Deep down, though, he knew something essential was missing.
That was until a series of unplanned and spectacularly poor choices shattered his well-kept facade. It led him down an unfamiliar path – a messy, chaotic road he’d never planned to explore. He stumbled into something unexpected—something warm and genuine that made him feel alive in ways he never had. For the first time, Scaramouche felt a sense of belonging. He felt human.
Yet, his mind was a storm of contradictions. As warmth entered his life, so did fear, self-doubt, and the defenses he’d built over the years. These threatened to crush the fragile feeling before it could grow. Now, the question was whether he could hold onto this fragile sense of purpose or if he’d let his own chaotic mind destroy it–and his last chance at something real.Bookmarked by insappocean

Summary
i swallow your heart and it crawls right out of my mouth
— Crush, Richard SikenScaramouche's fingers are even colder than Ajax expected, as though they couldn’t possibly belong to anyone with a heartbeat. This close, Ajax can see the red ochre on his eyelids. The idea of the little guy carrying a portable mirror around for emergency eyeshadow touch-ups is almost enough to make him laugh.
“I liked you better when you were further away,” he says instead.
“So did I,” says Scaramouche, but he doesn’t move.
“Aww, you liked me?”Scaramouche and Ajax are rival Fatui recruits. In the dead of winter, they're sent on what's supposed to be a simple two-man reconnaissance mission to a research base far out in the frozen wastelands of Snezhnaya. But a roadtrip is never just a roadtrip.

Summary
Signora’s ruby lips pout at him.
“You have like,” She taps one finger on the screen of her phone, causing it to light up. “Almost forty-five minutes til class starts.”
Scaramouche adjusts the heavy strap on his shoulder before turning and taking a few steps away from the table. Before he gets too far, he stops and looks back at them. His eyes flick to Tartaglia, who has those obnoxiously sapphire eyes trained on him. The brightness of that blue always catches him off guard and it sends a quick shiver down his spine. One he pretends not to notice.
Not like there’s anything to notice in the first place.

tldr: Scaramouche is in love with his best friend but that's none of your fucking business.

Summary
Oh, so that’s why Sakusa told him to take ibuprofen beforehand.
“That looks like it’s gonna hurt,” Atsumu blurts out as Sakusa guides him up onto the bed, perched on his knees.
Sakusa strokes a hand up between his shoulders, then curls two fingers into the chest harness and pushes Atsumu down, taking advantage of the leverage the rope affords him to press his chest to the bed.
“I’m counting on it.”
