The Odds of a Watered-Down True Liquor Falling for a Watered-Down Fake Liquor Are

Amuro Toru/Furuya Rei/Bourbon x original female lead

The liquor factory? More like a water factory. (Just kidding.)

There’s a mountain of original headcanons, with lots of fan-made additions to indulge the author’s personal tastes, such as the big brother being a little bit of a red, and the question of whether Bourbon is secretly evil. Please leave now if you can’t accept that.

The general outline is set. The male lead is firmly in a one-on-one relationship with Tooru, and it’ll be a happy ending with no heartbreak. (Probably.)

The story won’t be told entirely from the female lead’s point of view. There may be some side-character perspectives early on.

The class president gets saved, but not the demolition squad. It’s unclear whether Hiromitsu gets saved.

I won’t bash the original characters or break up the original couples. If it seems like I’m bashing anyone, that’s because my writing isn’t good enough. That’s a me problem.

The female lead is a Schrödinger’s maniac Mary Sue with a bit of science-of-the-Detective-Conan-world logic, a hanfu-wearing girl of mixed chicken-and-rabbit ancestry, capable in both literature and combat, and hopelessly romantic.

My headcanon has the original story beginning in March, during Japan’s spring break, with Haibara making her first appearance in April. So the Encounter Arc has been moved to April. As for why it snows in April, D-sensei says it has snowed in Japan in April before. That settles it. Any further questions are science of the Detective Conan world.

I’m terrible at writing blurbs, so all I can do is keep piling on details and warning labels. Dive in if it sounds like your thing, everyone. Love you~
