SAGAU Imposter AU but the higher the character friendship level, the easier it is for them to recognize you as the divine god without having to see your golden blood.

So following the typical SAGAU plot, who and how will your characters help you? I'll start!

Mondstadt

I'm doomed at Mondstadt considering Klee is my highest at friendship level 9. No one would probably take her seriously? But maybe she can convince Albedo (as a non-albedo haver) to hear me out first, he's pretty perceptive.

If Albedo can't help then Barbara (f.level 8) might just help me escape. She can probably convince Jean (f.level 2) to not kill me and just exile me from the city?

I like to believe that Fischl and Bennett could also help me enter Liyue (both f.level 7) as adventurers but they're probably doubting themselves, but not enough to kill me

Liyue

Liyue is definitely the safest place for me to go to. I have both Ningguang and Keqing at friendship level 10! Both big authority figures.

Although it would be hard to meet them immediately, I could probably reach out to Chongyun and Hutao first (both f.level 10 too).

Sad to say it could take a while to convince Zhongli, he just came home at f.level 1, and we all know how dangerous he can be in cult!au

It'll be even worse if he orders Xiao, as a non-Xiao haver. So I really have to reach the Qixing before the yaksha catches me.

Inazuma

An even more difficult place. My highest would be Sayu at f.level 3 and it would be hard to meet the sleepy ninja in the first place.

Thoma and Itto might just take pity (both f.lvl 2) and turn a blind eye though.

Otherwise, I'm dead in Inazuma

Tagging a few SAGAU writers to know their thoughts. This is open for anyone though and I would love to read everyone's sagau experience! don't think it's a relatively new concept! I just rly like how this gives us all a unique sagau experience based on our own efforts at being their friend! @dewdrop-writes @neetra @saryneid @chocoenvy

Trial By Combat

Requested By: No one. Original Work.

CW: Mentions of dying, Impostor SAGAU

Summary: After being declared an imposter, you decide to duel to defend your honor rather than stand trial.

Note: Fontaine is amazing. I’m loving every bit of it rn especially Neuvillette, Navia, and Chlorinde.

If you haven’t finished the Fontaine Archon quest, please exit stage left.

Part Two Part Three

-

You never even made it to the Court Of Fontaine before you were confronted by Focalors, the Hydro Archon, of being an imposter of the Creator of Teyvat. In her own eccentric way, she throws accusations at you. ‘To take the face of the Creator is not only a crime in Fontaine but in all of Teyvat!’

You deny her claims but she only laughs, ‘you’re acting ignorant, as if you do not know who the Creator is. Do you have any evidence to prove your innocence?’

You look down, there was no evidence you had that would prove to her and everyone else that this was the face you were born with, or that you never heard of this Creator before.

“The trial of the Century” is what the Steambird called it.

The Opera House was as full as ever, many people wanting to see the verdict the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale would give or wanting to see the one who dared to imitate Their Grace.

Maybe it was out of spite or your own foolishness, but you never allowed the trial to fully begin. Turning to Neuvillette, you declare that you want to duel rather than stand trial.

Despite the protests of Focalors, who wanted to prosecute you, the wish is granted.

The weight of the sword felt unbearable in your clammy hands as you stared at your opponent. Champion Duelist Clorinde stares back nonchalantly, her face not giving any clues on how she felt in this moment. However you heard rumors that she personally requested to duel you.

You readjusted your grip on the hilt as you fix your stance.

Was this truly the correct course of action? To fight and prove your innocence when you know that there’s no way you can win?

No it didn’t matter, you can’t back out now.

The crowd watches eagerly waiting for the duel to begin, how could the people of Fontaine do this? You were a real person and they acted as if you were a character on stage and the play was about to reach it’s final act. The excited looks on their face made your blood boil. If you somehow manage to make it out of this, you would make them pay.

You take one final glance at Furina before the duel commences.

Clorinde wastes no time to strike, using her electro vision, she effortlessly knocks your sword out of your hand and drags her blade down your torso.

Whether her fatal blow was an act of mercy or a warning for anyone else who dared to take the Creators face, the duel was over as soon as it started.

But…

No this couldn’t be right…

Clorinde looks down at her weapon, the golden ichor that dripped onto the floor caused her eyes to widen as she looks at your limp body by her feet.

She immediately drops her weapon as she kneel not caring as the blood began to stain her clothing. Her hands press against your chest to slow the bleeding as she calls out to the crowd.

“We need a doctor!”

A medical team rushes down to your side making haste to attend to your wounds, your vision begins to blur as the mortified looks of Fontaine citizens watch in despair hoping that your life could be saved.

Furina, who sat at the top like always, quickly backs away before anyone could question her. How could she face her people when she was the one who laid these accusations at your feet? How could she face you?

She prays, hoping that an act of mercy could be given to her and her people, how could she call herself an Archon now?

The original publication by the Steambird was quickly scrapped and replaced with “The Creator of Teyvat Falsely Accused of being an Imposter.”

And it didn’t take long for the devastating news to reach the other nations too.

Sorry I had to write a little something for SAGAU Fontaine but now I will return to the requests everyone sent 🏃🏽‍♀️
