I love these two idiots so much heheheh

Notes: this is for that Pyro Agent missing nonny from back then-

Ft: Pyro Agent, Electrohammer, Pyroslinger, Anemoboxer

Pyro Agent

He kisses as if he’s dying of thirst and you’re the last bucket of water on Teyvat. His lips bruises as he steals your breath and spells his passion with his tongue. He’s so used to ignoring his needs that when it spills over he’s unable to let go, capturing your lips over and over again until his hunger's satisfied - for now.

Electrohammer

It happened so naturally, one moment you were staring into his eyes the next he had his fingers on your chin, tilting your head as his lips met yours. His kisses were sure and firm just like his person who’s presence always brought you a sense of comfort and security. When you parted, the subdued flush across the bridge of his nose made him look younger as he tucked a stray strand of hair behind your ear.

i have the urge to write about it so why not also the names are taken from the quest lol

Imagine a random investigator woman finding the fatui in Chasm. She was there to help Jinwu and others but then she got very interested in the area so she decided to explore it because why not. While she was checking one cave out, she met with the fatui. They introduce themselves to her. Anton (Anemoboxer), Radomir (Hydrogunner), Temur (Pyroslinger) and Danila (Geochanter). The poor fatui were very hungry and had no food, this made her heart crack. Even though they were bad guys she just couldn't see them suffer like this. So she decided to help them.

As she brought them the food, Mashkov (Electrohammer) tried to attack her thinking that Anton and others have betrayed them. While e was swinging his big hammer towards her, Anton held it. After stopping Mashkov, he explained the situation. They argued, trying their best to be on top of the argument, then Mashkov left them alone. While she was still at the shock of almost dying, she thanked Anton. Hugged him with her tiny body.

Ok before I start, I need to give a little explanation.

The basis of this headcanon is two things. First, it is the popular theory about Fatui Skirmishers that I’m heavily leaning into: that the Skirmishers are byproduct of Il Dottore’s human enhancement experimentation, both the individual and the equipments/weapons they use (which, according to Hydrogunner’s description I’d dub as Fatui Warmachine). It also kinda mentioned that they are neither have Vision or Delusion. This also make Il Dottore (and his underlings) as the figure who is responsible for the recruitment and mass production of tools needed by these Skirmishers. And second is their voicelines and description on archive.

(Also forgive my english if it’s too confusing or there’s some mistakes)

Now, onto the headcanon,

Not everyone who joined the Skirmishers are forced to be part of Il Dottore's experimentation, most of them willingly enlisted themselves (although only some of them who do know that to be a skirmisher one had to undergo the Harbinger’s work before they are ready to be sent onto battlefield).

And among the skirmishers are also those who were used to be part of his experiment but later ‘casted away’.

Despite undergo the change, they are still mostly human. But just like Delusion user, the ability of element manipulation cost their lifespan. But instead of just cutting it, it actually made them has what is referred as ‘expiration time’.

Every classes had different criteria that might correspondence to each own power and lifespan:

One with the longest lifespan are the Legionnaires, they were barely enhanced that caused their skin to be burned, thus the ashen color. Because of this, they had to carry the Cryo and Hydro tanks to help them control the element because they can barely control it without the source. This makes them has as much as 10-15 years long of life expectation after they wear the Fatui Warmachine.

The Bracers are the second, they are moderately enhanced between the three and it helps them control element through their staffs and guns. They can use it more freely and without has to rely on element source unlike the Legionnaires, yet they are weaker in terms of defense, makes them get downed easily. The medium enhancement caused their body to deform worse than the other classes, which caused the appearance of burnt marks for Pyroslingers and crystallized stones for Geochanters all over their body. The more often they use elements, the more these marks would appear. Usually the deformation starts from their face, which make them had to wear mask. However, despite these setback they still have a decent life expectation that span around 7-10 years.

The Vanguards are highly enhanced between the three class. They can produce the element without have to rely on sources or heavily rely on their weapon. The enhancement also gave minor result in physical appearance aside from the heavy and bulky body they have (which usually not far too different from their original state) and great defense. The downside is that their internal structure dying down way faster than the three classes, made them one of the folks that quickly "died out" from heavily usage of element manipulation. Their life expectation mostly range from 5-7 years.

It has to be noted that the Skirmishers’ life is heavily tied to their Warmachine and tools. That means, if their weapon, armor, or any other equipments are malfunctioned, broken, or taken away from them for a long period of time, this will shorten their lifespan even further.

This is why there’s more cases of Skirmishers’ death which was caused by their expiration rather than actual death from battles.

Replacement for broken equipment parts are available but it also cost them quite amount of Mora and also chance of having to face Dottore’s experimentation again, which caused them to rather decline the offer and prefer to die from expiration.

That’s the headcanon I have for now, might gonna add later if I remember?
