The Melancholy of a Fanfiction Master

Blurb:

I'm an ordinary fanfiction writer, the type who spends all day daydreaming about my fictional male idols.

I thought I was perfectly ordinary.

Until one day, while doing a late-night ritual to pull cards, a male idol fell out of my iPad screen.

A real, life-sized one. He could talk, breathe, and feel warm. He'd even sneak peeks at my MAD collection and BL fanfiction.

I panicked.

But panicking didn't help.

It seemed the gods were playing a joke on me.

Just one ten-pull, and my male 2D idols started falling out of the screen as real people.

If I didn't have a huge house and a whole lot of money, I wouldn't have been able to handle it at all.

There were only four of them in the end, but

Hey! Dazai Osamu! You too, A Fei! You're not allowed to read my trashy BL stories! Believe me, I'll start crying right here and now...

“Human Disqualification!”

“Kamui!”

...Aaaaaah! Put down my laptop! Stop it, you guys! You're my dads

[Things to know before reading]

1. This isn't a romance. Check the tags.

2. Original female protagonist, told in first person. She's a BL fanfiction writer and a forever-alone queen. There's nothing beyond friendship with any character. She's a sweet girl who gets to ship couples with us and witness divine love, like a camera watching the action. [Includes plotlines about writing fanfiction, with stories within the story. Please take note if that's not your thing.]

3. The couples the protagonist ships are the only main couples in this story.

Confirmed couples: Tokiomi/Kirei, Dazai/Chuuya, Kakashi/Obito. The man in the black coat is the central character in his storyline, with no explicit pairing.

4. This story leans toward an ensemble cast, or perhaps a story with multiple protagonists. The main couples are the three listed above. Archer is the central character in his storyline, with no explicit pairing, so there will be non-romantic plotlines with female characters. Please take note if that's not your thing.

5. The main plot involves the Holy Grail War. It's primarily a story about making up for past regrets. There will be separate arcs in the middle and later parts, with some shifts away from first-person narration.

*Full title: My Genderbent Heroic Spirit Secret Identities Have Backfired, and It's Definitely Because Every Identity Is Flirting with the Same Person*

[Blurb]

In 2020, I was chosen by a System to save the world.

It gave me seven gacha games from my real-life phone as cheat abilities.

This System was pretty easy to get along with.

It generously told me: As long as you save the world, you can do whatever you want.

So I made an unreasonable demand: I want to be a magical girl... I mean, a magical boy, just for fun!

System: All right.

And so it loaded the transformation module from *Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya* for me.

I regretted it so much I could've kicked myself.

Who the hell wants to see male Drake and Saber Alter with no boobs!!!

Even if they're my own secret identities, it's still a no!!

And then

“That's bad enough... but what's he doing here?”

I pointed at the familiar yet unfamiliar man standing outside my apartment and asked, my eye twitching in disbelief.

“Saving the world is a great undertaking that one person can't accomplish alone. You'll need a partner. That's a staple in anime, isn't it? Magical boys are no exception,” the System replied. “To keep you from feeling lonely and cold, I've matched you with your most familiar partner in justice. Thoughtful, right?”

Thoughtful, my ass! Is your AI definition of thoughtful really that far off from a human's?

I looked at the red-haired young man in a black trench coat, his face indifferent, and felt my vision go dark.

Why did you bring my childhood friend, whom I cut ties with years ago, and former crush here?

How am I supposed to focus on saving the world now?!

[Things to know before reading]

1. Magical boy xxx, currently genderbending female Heroic Spirits.

2. The secret identities aren't limited to FGO; characters from other works will appear too.

3. Original male lead, paired with Shirou Emiya. Partner of Justice x theatrical savior. The childhood-friends-to-lovers pairing is endgame, so don't waver.

4. Includes plenty of Moon-related material, mostly from the original *Fate/stay night* game and some of *Fate/hollow ataraxia*. Shirou isn't from one of the game's three routes, nor is he Archer, but he has experienced a Fifth Holy Grail War very similar to one of those routes.

5. The main setting is a superhero world, with a few crossovers from American and British TV shows. Any references will be noted in the author's afterword.

Theme: I hope they can all find happiness.
