Fate / AU CMO post

[maplepancakes]

Ok so I am trash and want to do fate AUs. Here's what I've got to offer:

Servants:

Rin: Berserker, Saber, Rider, or Caster (last one is for laughs and fire)
Luca: Caster, Assassin
Shiro: Literally any class, fite me
Watanuki: Caster
Others: I can probably come up with something, just let me know if you want someone else. Just look at my muselist if you want someone else.


Literally all of mine work for Masters too, but Watanuki or Shiro would be particularly good choices for fighting/power, and Rin, Satoshi, or Luca would be good choices for heartbreak.

We'll find a way to make it work. But that can come later.

[Look at him, Sir-avoiding-the-topic. He'll just busy himself with serving up a dish for Inaba.]

Food, water, sleep, warmth. You need all four of those to survive. You've got a good house to live in, so 'warmth' is covered, and you just slept. So you need some food and water now.

[dereban]

. . . you're dodging it, aren't you.

[ Just going to blandly call him out on that, she's not stupid. ]

And I know that. I can feed myself? I've been doing my own meals for a while now.

[ They're frozen foods, but it's not like she's had any problems with them before. ]

[moonlightbeast]

[Crap, she sees right through him.]

W-well I'm your servant, aren't I? I want to take care of you.

[dereban]

You do realize that's the wrong kind of servant, right?

[ And, again: ] Still dodging it, by the way.

[moonlightbeast]

It still counts! I have to protect you. Even...

[Even from emotional damage.]

...

You know what mana transfer means, right?

[dereban]

Of course I know what it means. Just because I'm not some perfect magus that didn't inherit the magic crest, [ she sounds a little bitter there ] doesn't mean that I didn't do my studies. I'm very much aware of what it is. [ She sighs a little, running a hand through her bangs. ] And I wouldn't have offered it as a suggestion if I was entirely opposed to the idea. You probably wouldn't want to do it though, right? That's why you've been avoiding talking about it. . . [ That's what she thinks, anyway. Why would anybody want to do that sort of thing with her? ]

[moonlightbeast]

Ah...right, sometimes I forget that you're not going into this as blindly as I did.

[Is it story time? It's definitely story time.

But first he's going to pass a plate over to her, and then scoop up a huge mound of food for himself.]

What do you know about the third grail war?

[dereban]

[ "As I did."

Well, that definitely confirms things, even though she already had a guess from the memory she just saw in her dream just then. ]

Not much. How is this relevant?

[moonlightbeast]

It happened back in the late 1930s, right before World War 2. As it so happens, one of the Masters involved decided to start killing potential masters before the grail war began, in an effort to thin out the herd of potential masters. Their thought being that, with weaker masters as opponents, they could ensure victory.

Unfortunately for them, their efforts didn't go unnoticed. A senior detective and his trainee managed to figure out that this person was murdering others, and the two went and tried to capture them. But the trainee was, unknowingly, the lost child of a magus family, and thus had the talent needed to summon a servant. Which he subsequently did, at the insistence of his senpai.

[dereban]

Is the plot twist to this story that the trainee that summoned a Servant was you?

[moonlightbeast]

You make it really hard to tell a dramatic story, you know.

[But yes, it was him.]

Look, the point is, it's not just about giving mana. It's...really intimate. And can have unintended consequences sometimes.

[dereban]

I wanted you to cut to the chase, Atsushi. [ JUST SIGHS ] If you're saying that, does that mean that you've done it?

[moonlightbeast]

Yes, I did. And it really, really complicated things. Archer was a bit of an asshole, and my senpai who was involved in the grail war didn't make things any better.

N-not that I would be an asshole to you, but I just want to make sure that you're sure about this.

[dereban]

First of all: your senpai is an asshole. Second of all... would you really want to do it with someone like me? I lied to you about not having a wish.

[moonlightbeast]

[You don't know the half of it.]

It's alright. You had your reasons for lying about it, right? So it's okay. I would want to do it with you if you have no reservations about it, yes.

Though, um...Dazai-san and Archer were both men.

[He. Has never been with a woman, whoops.]

[dereban]

[ SHE SURE FUCKING DOESN'T ]

It's-

[...]

The reasons behind it are just. . . I didn't want you to make fun of me if I told you.

[ Her wish is honestly kind of pitiful. ]

And I don't. [ Have any reservations, she means. She's trying so hard to keep her cool even though she's actually really nervous about the idea, given that she's never done it before. ] Also, I don't take issue with you having been with guys before all of this?

[ Although now her face is kind of burning scarlet at the thought. ]

[moonlightbeast]

I wouldn't make fun of you for it. I might get upset, if it is an evil wish, but anything made with good intentions is fine.

And...well. I'm glad you're okay with that, but. Er. I told you because I've only been with men before. S-so this will be. New. To me.

[Oh boy that's awkward to admit to. But it's alright, they can do this.

Maybe.]

[dereban]

It's not evil? Or at least, I don't think it is. It's just that my wish is to "have friends".

[ It's a very lonely wish, and it shows in how awkward her response is. ]

[moonlightbeast]

[It's...something. And honestly, Atsushi can relate to it. His own wish back in the third grail war had been similar.]

My wish was to have a family who loved me, so if your wish is silly then so was mine.

[His wish this time around is a bit different though.]

[dereban]

[ She hears what he has to say and just. . . hm. Yeah, that's relatable, but-- ]

"Was"?

[moonlightbeast]

Back when I was in the third grail war, that was my wish.

[Oh look he didn't say why his wish changed.]

[dereban]

That's not what I meant.

Why is it different now?

[moonlightbeast]

Well...a family wouldn't help much now, would it? Regardless of how this war ends, I'll be heading back to the throne of heroes eventually.

[He sounds a little sad as he says that, too.]

[dereban]

. . . then what is your wish right now?

[moonlightbeast]

[He is decidedly not looking at Inaba when he says the next bit, with his focus on his plate of food instead. A plate he is poking at, rather than eating.]

To be human again. To live the life I didn't get, since I died so young.
