A Rerir!MC you say? You need help expanding the idea you say? 👀
I take it the Crimson Moon Dynasty encourages/supports Tholindis marrying Rerir!MC, since he’s faking their deaths instead of actually killing them? Or at least, him saving them is one reason why Tholindis proposes to him. A shame they had to postpone the ceremony because of Vedrfolnir’s imprisonment and then the Cataclysm. The group must have been really looking forwards to it. ☹️
It is rather funny that the Sinners et al have no idea Rerir!MC is the Rächer of Solnari and think he’s an “innocent bean”, though I supposed compared to the (rest of the) Sinners he is “innocent” - probably saving more people than killing them.

Rerir!MC is very dad-shaped, and the only reason he hadn’t adopted in Khaenri’ah was 1. his job, and 2. all the kids he could adopt were the ones whose deaths he had just faked. He had no such problems with Columbina - he’s only sad that Tholindis isn’t here to help raise their daughter.
Aaaand of course the Scions think Rerir!MC birthed Columbina. Not the strangest thing to happen in mythology (there’s weirder by a wide margin). Did his eyes help them come to that inclusion - since they’ve got the usual starry pupil? Also his assassin habits are showing with the statue (Nobody should know what he looks like)!
…The Ratniki aa a result of Rerir!MC’s empty nest syndrome. Flins and Rerir!MC coparent them. Maybe have a similar situation as with Flins!MC - Ratniki and Scions beefing over “Kuutar’s mother/father”?
Does Columbina have any obvious Khaenri’ahn habits that Pierro and Thrain could pick up on? Or any habits that Rerir!MC has and gave to her? Does she mention her father (and absent/dead mother) at all? When her and Dottore are still close, does she introduce him to her father (does Dottore get adopted)?
Nice subversion of the gems/body fragments! Since Tholindis is a member of the Crimson Moon dynasty she wouldn’t be destroyed like the original Rerir was. What about the Wild Hunt? Are they homunculi or constructs instead? Victims of the Abyss turned members of the Hunt? Since Rerir!MC doesn’t fight the Hunt, I suppose he’s training the Ratniki instead? Does he adopt Aino (and Ineffa)? Khaenri’ah was rather “modern” compared to the rest of Teyvat, wasn’t it? Does he force the ratniki to attend her lessons or are they more willing to go due to Rerir!MC’s influence?

Awwww, he’s so loyal to his wife! How flustered is Tholindis when she regains her body/returns to Teyvat from the moon’s reflection? That is her husband everybody!!! (The Ratniki’s reaction to the leader of the hunt flirting with their founder!!!!) Assuming this goes similar to the game, what is Dainsleif’s reaction to finding Rerir!MC? What about him adopting Columbina (and others)?

And that’s all I could think of. Hope my questions help get your brain into gear!

YES to all of this! 🤩
The idea alone of the remnants of the Crimson Moon Dynasty aproving Tholindis marriage to Rerir!MC, even possibly encouraging her to marry him is an awesome idea!
Hm... this also makes me imagine that because of Rerir!MC saving and smuggling out so many of the Crimson Moon Dynasty Pre-Cataclysm there's more survivors and descendants around Teyvat. Meaning Arlecchino has more living relatives.
And yes, Rerir!MC is definitely the most Dad-shape person ever. He literally made the Lightkeeper organization cause of empty nest syndrome! He is dad material!
Which is why I agree to the idea of him adopting Aino and Ineffa! And possibly Linnea too once her 'parents' run off!
Flins is basically his bro, his bff who helps him 'look after' the 'kids'.
....Imagine if Flins had a crush on him, but respected Rerir enough to not say anything cause he was a taken man.
Sides that, yes, yes, YES. Rerir!MC is a loyal hubby, and this flustereds Sinner Tholindis to no end.
