i just randomly came up w this one day so yeah 😍
ok so like the beginning scene is the same with the unknown goddess and aether gets trapped so lumine goes all around tevyat and can’t find her twin (like he isn’t even in the abyss)
eventually she just boards herself up somewhere & paimon one day hears a rumor about aether being in mondstadt. guess what? he IS 😱
again he goes all around tevyat and everyone lies to him saying “who tf are you talking abt, now help me”
one day while doing a commission, he finds lumine and they both look at paimon giving the death stare
(help my sibling is reading a pokemon fanfic out loud to me 😰)
all of a sudden, those two are the most wanted in tevyat (you can imagine what they did, like murder, arson, etc)
i love villains if you can’t tell 😋
note: they killed all the archons except for venti and kusanali bc venti was on the verge of blacking out every time aether talked to him & kusanali was trapped bc of the chaos of what happened in the sumeru story
