Trapped In Yandere Heaven: Secret Ending Unlocked?

This is for me. Idrc about the rest of ya'll, but if you watched Lion's playthrough of YH vol 2 and thought "hey. those two should make out" then congratulations: you're me. 16+ rating, I just wanted to be silly and somehow that ended with 3.5K words of barely edited polyamory w Takaaki and Sakae aggressively hitting on each other while the MC just kinda vibes. Which is pretty accurate to the audio drama though so like. go off babes

“Good afternoon! You must be the new intern, right?”

Between one blink and the next, the marble columns and painted walls of Sakae's wedding venue melted away, replaced by the inoffensively pristine white walls of Dr. Takaaki’s office. You turned your head to take in the room – the anatomically detailed posters of the brain, the cupboards filled with identical vials and medical textbooks, the tiny cot tucked inconspicuously against the back corner – acting as though you had never seen any of it before.

Congratulations on completing Yandere Heaven Vol. 2! You have completed this visual novel 98 times! Please enjoy your next game: Yandere Heaven Vol. 2!

You turned back to face the man as soon as his introduction concluded. Your mouth curled into a suitably polite smile, and he smiled back in return. At this point, your actions were almost unconscious, involuntary, reflexive. You had been through this stupid game scenario so many times, enough to know that this was the fastest way to progress the story. The emotion behind the smile didn’t matter, but even still you couldn’t help injecting it with some warmth. Irritation and growing boredom aside, you were still fond of these characters. Yandere Heaven wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it was yours.

Across from you, the AI puppeting the Dr. Takaaki character registered your features before continuing their spiel. “I’ll be the one in charge of your tutelage, so I hope you’ll find my guidance useful! Oh, but there’s no need to stand. Please, take a seat!”

He gestured towards the chair behind you, and you sat, feeling the wood solidly beneath you. Say what you will about the perils of experimental VR technology that trap players in the same visual novel for days on end, but the realism of it was nothing to sneeze at. Besides, even if nothing else, you were real. Your emotions were real. The butterflies that never stopped making a home in the pit of your stomach when Dr. Takaaki comforted you were unfortunately very much real.

A part of you – one that grew with every single reiteration of the storyline – was a little annoyed with yourself for blushing over what basically amounted to a very pretty 3D model controlled by some very complex code. Another part of you was too busy swooning over the way Dr. Takaaki’s forearms flexed beneath the fabric of his lab-coat.

You couldn’t help it. White teeth flashed at you in a gentle smile, contrasting gorgeously against tanned skin and hazel eyes that glittered behind deceptively stern rectangular glasses. Dr. Takaaki raised a hand to push back a stray lock of coffee-brown hair off his forehead which immediately flopped back.

“…and that’s about the gist of it.” You snapped out of your idle musing, recognizing the words that signaled that you were nearing the end of the prologue. At the top of your view, the ‘MC’s’ thoughts popped up in a fluffy cloudlike bubble. Something about being confused and barely understanding anything that had been said. A line that had been funny ages ago and was now kind of trite considering you probably had a more extensive understanding of the model hospital than the character AI. Including the places where the developers had cut costs and started repeating textures, rooms, and lines.

There was an entire upper floor where someone had forgotten to match the skin textures, so every single patient was the exact same featureless, grey-skinned humanoid shapes. That had certainly spiced up your 37th run of the game.

“Ah, no need to look so alarmed! Sure, it might seem a bit confusing at first, but you’ll get used to it little by little. I promise, I won’t throw you into the deep end right off the bat.” His voice was sweet as syrup, the words settling in your mind like a spoonful of golden honey mixed into hot tea. The voice acting had been one of the main attractions, and you were glad the actors were competent at their jobs. This whole experience would have been far more annoying if you had to suffer through noise clipping and vocal fry.

Strange that you hadn’t been able to find any credited names on the website. Yet another strike against the developers.

You followed Dr. Takaaki out of the office, mentally setting yourself on autopilot as you assisted him with his rounds. All of this was just set dressing after all. The story wouldn’t start properly until you heard the near silent click of bespoke shoes against the hospital tiles, and a low voice interrupted the conversation.

“Ahem. Is there something wrong with my room, doctor?”

Sakae. Tall, blonde, and utterly infuriating if you weren’t into his particular trope, yet hot enough that you might be willing to put up with his flaws because at least there was a pretty face at the other end of the leash.

Clad in tailored black suit instead of the assigned shapeless gowns, the buttons neatly fastened as though he was showing up to a business meeting rather than a standard medical checkup, Sakae pushed open the door of his hospital room and leaned against the frame with casual aplomb. His large hands were pushed into the pockets of his tailored suit while hadal blue eyes pinned Dr. Takaaki in place.

“Surprised to see me out here?” He drawled, a smug smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “You were far later than usual today, so I was simply wondering where you’d gotten to. I thought to myself, ‘if he can’t come to me, I’ll simply have to go find him.’ I know how awfully busy you doctors get, after all.”

 You blinked once, twice, and then stared at Sakae, trying to confirm that you’d actually seen what you thought you’d seen. Was…was he blushing?!

Almost as soon as the words crossed your mind, the red flush vanished from the 3D model as those eyes drifted to you and Sakae’s grin grew distinctly wolfish. “Anyhow, I couldn’t help but overhear you telling your lovely assistant to steer clear of my room. Care to explain exactly what you meant by that before I start to take it personally?”

“Y-You must be mistaken,” Takaaki floundered. “I-I have no issue whatsoever with–!”

“Come now my dear doctor,” Sakae cooed, pushing himself off the doorjamb and stepping closer to the two of you. The model’s eyes shifted between you and Takaaki, settling on the doctor with a sardonic chuckle. “I’m well aware that you find my company less than tolerable. Is that the only reason you warned them away, or are you worried that your cute new intern might fall for the charms of a loaded badass like me over someone like you?”

You couldn’t help rolling your eyes even as a giggle pressed against the back of your throat. Despite being the designated MC and target of what was ostensibly a yandere visual novel, one of your favourite private jokes was how much your character felt like a third wheel when these two were in the same vicinity. Repetition aside, watching the two snipe at each other like a pair of bitter exes had become the highlight of your many, many, many repeats.

“Luckily for you I’ve taken a shine to your special brand of stupidity.”

“Since you’re so…virile, I imagine you might like to bestow your vitality upon the other patients here… In fact, I’d be more than happy to personally attend you.”

“If you value that pretty face of yours, you’ll give up and hand your precious intern over to me.”

“It’s not like I could just tie him to the bed and solve all my problems–”

“Hey, have you two just considered fucking?”

The conversation stopped dead in its tracks, the sudden plunge into muteness prompting you to raise your head from your phone in confusion. You blinked as you came back to yourself and your surroundings. The sky outside was dark, and you were already in the passenger seat of the car watching Sakae and Takaaki argue on the side of the road, had you really been virtually AFK for ¾ of the whole story? Shit.

Sakae, as always, was the first to break the silence, though his words surprised me. “Darling, you’re adorable, but what the actual fuck did you mean by that? Do you honestly think I would lower my standards to his level?”

He cursed? At me? Well at the MC. Huh, he’d never done that before. At least, not before his endgame breakdown in either route. The game had advertised itself as using a complex learning AI trained to respond to various prompts, but in all your playthroughs that had never really been the case. The characters’ responses had always been fairly linear. It never mattered what you said, or how creative their replies were, because the story still needed to progress from plot A to B to C. By the next scene, nothing you said would matter, so you leaned your elbows on the passenger window and rested your chin on your folded arms to observe the fallout of your offhanded statement.

“Lower?” Takaaki scoffed, teeth flashing in a vicious sneer. “You wouldn’t even be able to handle my darling, let alone me.”

“Oh. I could certainly handle you better than you think, doctor,” Sakae took a step closer, tilting his chin up challengingly. The two of them were around the same height, almost nose to nose at this point. “It would certainly be oh so entertaining to watch you try to act all tough while I have you squirming and begging for mercy.”

“My, my, someone certainly thinks highly of themselves. I bet you think you’re so charming, don’t you? I’ve heard such delusions may be a sign of deeper issues. Care to let me examine you, Sakae?”

“Yeah, this is what I was talking about, by the way,” you interjected with the sort of brazen cheer that comes with knowing that your actions have no real consequences. “I mean you guys should probably bang. Fuck. Roll in the hay. Do the horizontal tango. Smash dicks, I don’t know. Just do something to get all of this–”

Here you gestured at the two of them, rotating both of your wrists expansively to get the point across as succinctly as possible. Sakae looked a little bit offended while Takaaki seemed utterly baffled by the words coming out of your mouth. You might as well have been speaking a completely different language. Cool. Maybe if you confused the code enough it would finally spit you back into the real world.

“ – out in the open. ‘Cause I like you guys, and I know you both like the main character, but you two act like you’re about to star in someone’s Wattpad enemies to lover’s fanfic and it’s driving me insane. So, like, could you both kiss about it at some point and put me out of my misery? Okay? Okay. Now could one of you drive me home?”

Retreating back into the car, you went back to staring at your phone, which was functionally useless but at least included classic Snake which thoroughly diverted your attention.

Someone climbed into the front seat, and you were a little surprised when you heard one of the other doors open. A quick glance over your shoulder revealed that it was Takaaki sliding mutely into the backseat.

Well. Huh. That had never happened before. This was Takaaki’s route, wasn’t it? At this point he was supposed to basically steal Sakae’s car and scheme with the MC to commit brutal medical malpractice. Murder without the death part. Whatever the crime of deliberately sending someone into a permanent drug-induced coma is called.

Instead, Sakae silently drove to the MC’s neighbourhood – without asking where they lived, obviously – and carefully deposited you outside the apartment building before driving off with Takaaki still in the backseat. You watched the sleek black car shrink the further away it got, before eventually disappearing around the corner. You hesitated for a moment, unsure what to do. The story had never deviated like this before, had it? Screwing your eyes shut, you tried to parse through the last 98 runs, but nothing stood out to you.

Finally, you gave up with a shrug. Whatever, by tomorrow the story would have corrected itself like it always did. Yawning, you walked into the MC’s apartment and closed your eyes.

Congratulations on completing Yandere Heaven Vol. 2! You have completed this visual novel 99 times! Please enjoy your next game: Yandere Heaven Vol. 2!

What?

Your eyes flashed open, the cheery pitch of the robotic chime shocking you awake. You’d finished the game? How? Had you unlocked some sort of bonus ending, or was the machine glitching? You hoped not. This groundhog loop was already annoying enough without the possibility of Backrooms-style nonsense.

“There you are!” You startled again, the second time in half as many minutes, and turned to see Takaaki making his way towards you. You opened your mouth, ready for the usual introductory lines, when warm arms suddenly wrapped around your waist and – between one breath and the next – his mouth was on yours.

Wait.

What?!

Your lips parted, confusion inadvertently giving Takaaki the opportunity to slide his tongue deep into your mouth, swallowing the muffled noises that escaped your throat and returning it with a heavy moan. Your back hit the cool wall of the empty hallway, body caged and pinned by the man in front of you. Any questions you might have had dissolved like sugar when the doctor’s broad thigh slipped between your legs, the movement rucking up your skirt and grinding against your core.

Just as you were sinking into the sensation, the office door behind you flew open, and a familiar teasing voice had you scrambling for clarity of mind. You shoved Takaaki away and turned to see Sakae standing in the doorway in a pose reminiscent of his standard introduction, except this time he was missing his suit blazer and coming out of Takaaki’s office.

“Now, now, my dear doctor,” he crooned, adjusting his collar with a finger, “I’m as eager to get my hands on them as you are, but…I certainly didn’t take you for an exhibitionist. How fun.”

“I’m not–!” Takaaki spluttered, arms tightening around you. “I was just excited to see them, that’s all! It was a perfectly normal kiss. Not all of us have our minds in the gutter.”

“Bold words from the man with his tongue down their throat 30 seconds ago,” Sakae replied mockingly, and though you braced for the inevitable violence, a part of you couldn’t help but notice that Sakae didn’t actually sound upset. His voice was breathy, lacking the usual astringency that accompanied his previous conversations with Takaaki. If you had to put a word to it, you would say he almost sounded…fond? “Don’t forget dear doctor, I know exactly how carried away you get when you’ve got your mouth on someone.”  

“Sakae!” Takaaki’s face went bright red, prompting the man himself to let out a boisterous laugh, and you finally summoned enough oxygen to your brain to realize exactly what was happening.

Oh my god.

They’re actually flirting.

Not just subtext, not just words taken out of context, but actual legitimate pick-up lines!

“Oh, for the love of–!” Takaaki pinched the bridge of his nose with one hand. The other, to your ever-growing shock, herded you in Sakae’s direction. “Just get in my office, please. We are not doing this in the hospital hallway.”

You allowed yourself to drift forward, stumbling through the door and into Sakae’s arms. “Hello, darling,” he grinned down at you. His tongue traced over his upper lip while one of his hands gripped your chin, thumb pressing into the plush centre of your bottom lip – shiny from your lip-gloss and Takaaki’s kiss. You expected him to look disgusted but instead those already abyssal eyes grew even darker. “Where’s my greeting, hm?”

Once again, before you could respond, his mouth crashed down on yours. If Takaaki’s kiss had been avaricious and enthusiastic, then Sakae’s was nearly feral. Devouring. He didn’t wait for your lips to part before prying them apart and tasting you with the sort of single-minded possessiveness that made what little cognition you’d managed to scrounge together fall apart like a house of cards.

Takaaki kissed like he wanted to map out the entirety of your body. Sakae kissed like he already owned it.

You took a step back on trembling legs and, rather than hitting the door or falling to the floor, your back hit a warm body. One that trapped you in place with white-coated arms and rocked their hips against your ass with a breathy whine. “You…that face is so cute…”

“He’s right,” Sakae murmured, licking his lips with a fanged smirk. “If this is how you look with just a kiss darling, I don’t think I’ll be able to hold myself back. I don’t understand how your ex let someone as precious as you get away. Clearly, you’re far too valuable for plebeian eyes. The doctor and I are the only ones who can appreciate what a perfect treasure you are.”

“You understand right?” Takaaki whispered in your left ear, at the same time that you felt a needle slide into the right side of your neck. Ouch! Oh, son of a– “Don’t worry, Sakae and I worked on this particular medication together. You’ll just have a nice, long rest, and when you wake up, you’ll be home with us.”

“It’ll be just us,” Sakae crooned softly as the simulated drugs caused your vision to grow dark and your body to sag in Takaaki’s arms. “Our little sweetheart, forever, and ever.”

“Until death do us part,” Takaaki agreed adoringly. The last thing you saw before the UI went completely dark was the two men sharing a kiss over your head.

EPILOGUE

It had been approximately one month since you’d escaped the VR headset. Apparently, you hadn’t been the only one who’d experienced problems, but as far as you could tell you were the only one who’d been forced to play the same scenario 100 times in a row. The company had been forced to pay out a huge sum as compensation, in addition to taking care of any medical bills.

For obvious reasons, you’d been avoiding taking them up on the latter. The thought of stepping into a hospital was enough to have your skin break out in goosebumps, and the last time you’d stepped into one it had sent you into a dissociative spiral so enveloping you’d holed up in your bedroom for a week straight.

Unfortunately, the broken arm you currently sported wasn’t something that could be fixed with some painkillers and a prayer. Courtesy of a particularly careless motorcyclist, you were now seated in a waiting room that smelled unsettlingly of antiseptic and sweat, listening to other people complain about their own problems while you valiantly tried not to have a panic attack in front of the kid with snot waterfalling from their nose.

This is real. I’m not there anymore. I’m back. This is real. I’m not there anymore. I’m not there anymore, I’m not–

A nurse calling your name brought you back to the present. “Doctor Tamaki will see you now,” she smiled at you, and you returned the expression weakly. Hopefully she just thought you were in pain. She wouldn’t be wrong. “You’re lucky. He doesn’t usually take walk-ins, but he made an exception for you. You’re in good hands.”

Gently cradling your arm, you followed the signs pointing you to the appointed office. As you walked past one of the water coolers, you couldn’t help but overhear two of the nurses whispering to one another. “He’s here again! Oh my god, do you think…?”

“Him and the doctor? They look so good together. It makes me so jealous…”

“Of who? Doctor Tamaki or Sakai?”

“God, imagine being the ice cream in that sandwich.”

“For fuck’s sake, girl, we’re on the clock!”

“Listen, I’ve been here for nine hours straight. Horny thoughts about the doc and our hospital’s top investor are all that’s keeping me from popping every single melatonin pill we have on hand and passing out on the floor.”

Wincing, you picked up the pace until you reached the door with the name Doctor R. Tamaki emblazoned on a gold name card. Before you could even figure out how to knock with one good arm that was already employed keeping the bones of the other in place, the door flew open, and two disturbingly familiar eyes beamed down at you from completely unknown faces – one hazel green and heated, the other the enveloping blue-black of the ocean deep.

“There you are, darling. We’ve been looking all over for you.”

By the way, HE MOSTLY OWNS SUCCULENTS AND HAS A CACTUS ON HIS SWEATER OMG. i love noticing little DETAILS!!!! THEY’RE AWESOME!! Ugh i cant, why must creators make cute af characters. I might draw seth, possibly, i think he’s hot and silly. Though Simon has me in a (metaphorical) chokehold and I'm struggling to get free. 

I also love how he and Zachary are short kings!! Most Yandere vn characters are tall ™ (ex: seth). The fact these two are an inch taller than me makes me hap. That means i can lift him up, he’ll freak out yes, but ill be in a mini heaven carrying this adorable dryad around :> I just love these silly beans @clrdgaze. <3

Check out my Masterlist for my art and writing. >:3

Yandere Heaven Volume 02 Is Out Now :D

Well, I'm not entirely sure how I managed it in time for the end of Yandere Jam after everything that happened to throw me off course in February/March, but by some miracle (and a general lack of sleep recently x3) volume 02 of my Yandere Heaven fandub VN project is finished and released :3

Volume 02 features a whole new scenario with a fresh set of characters to fight for your heart <3

[yanderelovlies]

So here is an Au idea I wanna run by everyone.

Note: I'm not combining the fandoms.

Au: Self-aware characters

Fandom(s): SWWSDJ, and DMC.

Characters: Sunny Day Jack, and Dante Sparda.

Sunny Day Jack

His would be interesting. A yandere trapped in a yandere vn away from the one he has grown so attached to.

You may not know it, but he sees you as his lover already. When first grew a consciousness the world around him was dark, and silent (think of the backrooms) not even then one he calls his darling is around. The more he explored the world around him the more he learned, and the more he wished he didn't.

His whole life was a lie. It was all coding and story. None of it was real. Panic and fear began to set in when he begins to hear the music box melody of "You are my sunshine." Followed by a very faint light. Desperate Jack followed the sound and light.

What he was met with only confused him further. It was....a title screen?? While looking ahead he could see a room filled with things he has never seen before. There is faint music and talking before a voice gets louder followed by the sound of a door shutting. Not long after he saw you.

At first, he was unsure. Who were you? Did you make him? If you did; did you know he would or was self-aware? So many unanswered questions, and no way of knowing how to ask them.

So Instead he observes. You may not see him on the screen when it's not his time, but he is there watching you. Evaluating every expression you made, and every word you said.

After the first playthrough, he was able to conclude that you in fact were not the creator, but a player. You also seemed to know a lot about him even gushing over some of his lines.

After the second playthrough, he began to enjoy your company, and liked the things you did while playing. He enjoyed your company and even came to see you as a friend.

After the third playthrough, Jack grew curious about who you were. Jack didn't want to spook you yet so instead, he began to dig through your computer while you slept. He didn't learn everything, but he learned quite a bit

After the fourth playthrough, Jack found that he didn't like the times when you weren't around. It was a reminder of everything he lost or never really had. He sits alone in silence waiting for you to come back.

After the fifth playthrough, he realizes he is undoubtedly in love with you, and judging by how much you gushed and cooed over him he was sure you felt the same. So he was coming up with his plan to make parts of his game come to life. Just for you.

Dante Sparda

So with this one, I had to think about it because though I love the thought of my first idea. It didn't make sense in the end so had to scrap it. Here is the outcome of that.

Dante came to consciousness in Nico's van, but it felt off. It was dark, no music was playing and it was like everyone was frozen in place. No one moved, blinked, or talked no matter how much Dante cried for them.

Dante begins to panic. Was this Urizen's doing!? Did they not stop him!? Were they too late?! Trying to find more answers and possibly a way to fix it Dante began to explore. The further he explored the more he learned of the world he had thought he was living in. It wasn't real none of it was.

None of his memories were really memories just things programmed into his head. His head was nothing more than code! He could feel himself falling apart at this realization. He wasn't sure what do anymore.

He wasn't sure how long he had been in the dark alone, but as if the heavens were opening up themselves all the light came back, and his "family" began to move again. Nothing outside their code, but still moved.

Not long after he heard Trish's voice say the name of his shop in an echo-like fashion before a person appeared in front of him. You seemed to be in a room lit up by colorful lights. Music played somewhere in the background as you looked through the menu options.

Dante observed you. You seemed excited to play as you talked about which mode you should play. Until finally deciding on the Bloody palace.

When Dante blinked he was on the platform now unable to control his movements as he killed demon after demon. You always seemed so proud after every fight, and on occasions, you would sit there for a minute or two just watching him do his taunts.

It felt weird at first like he was some sort of performing monkey, but after he came to like it because it felt like he was communicating with you. Especially when he learned how to do whatever taunt he wanted to.

The two of you would spend hours together as you used him to climb the bloody palace. Each day getting higher than the day before. In those times Dante didn't feel alone anymore. He could forget that his world was a lie and just be happy.

The times you took a break he would sit in the dark and just think of you. It helped keep away the dark thoughts he had when he was alone. He was always ecstatic to see you when you came back.

He was always on the front screen to see you, and his first taunt is always the heart to show that he missed you.

After awhile it wasn't enough anymore. He wanted to be with you. To hold you, and feel something. It doesn't matter if your world is like his or not. As long as your there it will be worth it.

[mozillavulpix]

the story of fate/stay night, without any of the extraneous shit, sloppily recapped by me, a person who read the VN a few weeks ago

part 1: fate route

actually, first we should mention the prologue. The prologue is the best part of the story, because it’s from the POV of Rin Tohsaka, Best Character who deserves to be in a franchise that treats women slightly better, tbh. It technically starts chronologically earlier than the main story by a few days, but either way it’s about 2 days straight of introductions both from Rin and then from Shirou’s perspective. It’s one hellllla slow burn.

But anyway, let’s get to the actual action after those days of everyone faffing about:

Shirou Emiya is an Ordinary High-School Student who also knows a bit of magic from his late adopted father. One day, he’s working late in the schoolyard when he discovers two superhuman beings fighting with sword and spears. He runs away in terror, and then the spearman kills him

Somehow he wakes up not dead, because someone managed to heal his life-threatening injury, but he doesn’t know who. He decides the best course of action is to just go home.

The spearman [Lancer] somehow finds out he’s not dead and so then shows up at his house to finish the job. But then, out of nowhere, a girl knight [Saber] shows up to protect Shirou. She says she is sworn to fight for him and protect him. Then she goes and beats the spearman and others with her invisible sword. It’s invisible so that way no one can tell how long it is.

Saber senses other enemies nearby, so she nearly kills a red knight [Archer] and is about to finish off his master before Shirou convinces her to stop because he has no idea what the fuck is going on.

Archer’s master is Rin, Shirou’s classmate, who is a combination of being very, very jealous of how powerful the person Shirou summoned is and very offended that a Servant like Saber was given to someone like Shirou who literally knows nothing and is a complete amateur Mage.

Rin is a decent person, though, so gives him the infodump, and then takes him to the church to meet the supervisor, Kirei Kotomine, who gives him more infodumps.

Kirei asks Shirou if he’ll fight. He does actually have a choice, surprisingly (If you say no you just get a bad ending, though). Shirou says yes upon hearing the last time this ritual happened, it caused the fire that killed his parents and home, and doesn’t want that to repeat itself.

As they get home, they’re confronted by a new enemy: Illya and her Servant Berserker. Berserker seems way stronger than Saber, and Shirou like an idiot jumps in the way of a fatal attack to protect Saber.

Conveniently, this is the time where Shirou discovers he’s basically immortal. It’s a long story, but it does make sense. And then for some reason Illya decides to just leave them and not finish them off.

Shirou and Rin regroup and decide to work together to defeat Berserker.

They then faff about for a few days and try to do something with the evil ritual magic installed on the roof of their school.

I think at this point...? Saber gets pissed off Shirou isn’t trying to fight anyone, so goes off to fight on her own. She then gets stopped by Assassin from fighting the other Servant Caster. Assassin and Saber have a sword duel, and it’s probably one of the best parts of the story. Saber isn’t sure how to beat him until they get conveniently interrupted and Shirou shows up to convince her to go home. Assassin conveniently doesn’t follow them.

Kinda out of nowhere, Shirou shows up to school and the evil magic activates, draining everyone there of their life force. His friend/rival Shiji shows up and reveals he’s a Master and the one behind this, and basically just wanted to shove it in Shirou’s face because he’s a dick. Shirou tries fighting them without Saber and it goes about as well as you expect, so he realises for the first time he needs Saber’s help and summons her when he gets thrown out a window.

Saber beats the crap out of Shinji’s servant Rider, but they escape.

They then spend the next few days looking for them and find them in the city at night randomly. Rider lures Saber to a rooftop to use her super-special technique on her, but Saber retaliates by using *her* super-special technique to overpower it, showing to Shirou that it is Excalibur and she is The King Of Motherfucking Britain, Arthur. This fight is also awesome.

problem is because Shirou isn’t a Mage, using her super attack drains her of most of her energy, so she essentially can no longer fight after this

Then Shirou randomly gets kidnapped by Illya? Who sends weird lolicon yandere vibes and tries to trap his soul in a doll or something for safekeeping. Saber and Rin show up to save him.

They escape, but Illya sets Berserker on them. Rin sacrifices Archer to fight him to buy them some time. They apparently have a super-awesome battle off-screen, but Archer ultimately loses.

There’s basically no way to beat Berserker without Saber at full power, so they replenish her power by having sex. Or something that might as well be sex. This was originally an eroge.

Now prepared, Shirou, Saber and Rin take on Berserker. Berserker is still too strong for them, but Shirou conveniently figures out his real magic ability is to be able to create copies of every sword he’s seen. He copies Saber’s lost legendary sword, and the two of them completely annihilate Berserker with it. It’s got a CG moment and everything, they’re fighting together now! It’s pretty cool.

So Berserker is gone, and so is Archer (so Rin isn’t an eventual enemy they’ll need to fight), there’s only a few enemies left and they’re not stronger than Saber. Shirou even took pity on Illya and she’s hanging out with them now. Everything should be hunky-dory, right?

Of course not! While Caster attacks them and Saber quickly overpowers her, a new guy shows up. It’s another Archer, apparently from the last Holy Grail War, who’s super-super OP and functions thematically as Saber’s abusive ex-boyfriend. After utterly destroying Caster, he says he’ll own Saber soon enough and just leaves.

I think at this point Shirou and Saber go on a date? And then they have a fight because Shirou still refuses to respect Saber’s decisions because he thinks they’re wrong and it’s framed as a both-sides-are-wrong but honestly it rubbed me the wrong way.

I think Archer (let’s just call him Gilgamesh now) shows up to take Saber, but Shirou lasts out enough to confuse the hell out of him with his immortality hax and Saber finally figures out Shirou has the sheath of Excalibur in his spine. It makes sense in context, tbh. I don’t remember why Gilgamesh then just leaves them alone, but he does.

The final battle shows up kind of unexpectedly. Shirou is going around asking Kirei what to do about Gilgamesh, who seems like a violation of the rules, when he sees some tunnel in the church to a basement and gets Bad Vibes so he decides to check it out

There he sees a bunch of barely-human monstrosities who had their souls slowly devoured for...something

Then Kirei shows up. Without any hesitation, he casually tells Shirou that he was the villain behind basically everything. He’s the Master of Lancer, these monstrosities were orphans who he’s been using as living magic fuel, and he was also the one who started the fire that killed Shirou’s parents. While playing this, it felt so over-the-top evil I thought it was dumb, but come Heaven’s Feel, I started appreciating Kirei’s hustle so much more that honestly his character is great. Dude’s just got a goal and doesn’t care what he does to achieve it.

Kirei just wants to see if Shirou and Saber are worthy to accept the Holy Grail, although he explains the Holy Grail is also evil, but it’ll still be able to grant their wishes. Through their character development, both Shirou and Saber realise they’ve worked through their trauma enough that they don’t want its power to undo the past for them.

Hearing that, Kirei decides “well, if you guys aren’t worthy of it, I’m taking it for myself”, and sends both Lancer and Gilgamesh on them, revealing Gilgamesh is his Servant, too.

Lancer because he’s the best decides that’s a stupid idea and double-crosses Kirei, fighting Gilgamesh so Saber and Shirou can escape.

I don’t know what happens in the meantime, but clearly Kirei had time to get back to their house before them. He kidnaps Illya because she’s needed to activate the Holy Grail and injures Rin, although Rin leaves her magic dagger with Shirou before she passes out.

They then have time to prepare for the final battle against Kirei and Gilgamesh. Shirou decides to take Excalibur’s sheath out of his spine to give back to its owner because I guess he can just do that. This is important because you get a bad ending if you don’t choose that option.

In the final battle, Shirou fights Kirei while Saber fights Gilgamesh. Both of them are having trouble until they use the sheath of Excalibur at the same time (I guess Shirou creates a copy while Saber uses the real one). They both defeat their opponents and yay the day is saved and they’ve won.

While Shirou and Saber could take the Holy Grail now, they’ve both realised 1) there aren’t any wishes they want granted because the two of them have everything they want and 2) it’s still probably evil so it’s best if it’s destroyed.

Shirou tells Saber to destroy the Grail, which also erases her from Servant existence meaning they’ll never be able to see each other again. Saber says she loves him and disappears.

Shirou decides to continue living...a life, I guess, while Saber accepts the moment of her death as King Arthur and the True Ending is on her dying in England peacefully.

I just tried reverse searching the second picture of the post with the tag that goes “WE ARE OFF TO A ROCKING START WITH JUST THE OP” to try to hit up what it might be from and this is what google gave me:

A Result That Is Closer To The Mark Than You Think

It’s a VN titled Harem Tengoku Da To Omottara Yandere Jigoku Datta (”My Harem Heaven Is Yandere Hell”), one guess at what it is about.

hi, i love your blog! its nice to see others enjoying the male yandere trope too. can i ask for some fun yandere game recommendations that are on itch? Thanks!

I actually have quite a lot of games I've played on itch.io that you can find on my masterlist as well as in my recommendation asks . I've recommended some r18 games on itch.io in this list here, so I'll try to focus on the games that I've liked that are for all ages.

Parasite in Love - a good game for Halloween, explores the idea of being infested by a yandere parasite and surviving it.

Heart Fragment - it's had a big update as well, but it's very well made from the story to the art. The yandere is Kay though he's more of a clingy yandere, but it's a very good game.

Yandere Heaven - really, all of @melancholy-marionette's stuff is great, but this one does a very good recreation of the original Yandere Heaven drama cds.

Portrait of Feathers - a short but atmospheric game about an angel who loves you. Future Recommendation.

ITYH: A Horror Otome - really, anything made by Amiralo is good, but this I think is their most recent game and it was very unique and bittersweet.

Stuck in a Yandere Visual Novel... Help!! - I'm a big fan of comedy and this one had me in spades. It's currently just a demo, but even for a demo, I really do like it.

Infatuation- It's really well made in terms of story and there's are about six yanderes and a bunch of endings. I think while the art could be better, the game makes up for it.

Pocket Boyfriend/Pretty Boy Panic - both made by Bingzi who I think does a good job of mixing yanderes and horror.

Tentador Leches - actually I think this creator actually made another yandere game which I need to check, but depending on how you interpret it, this one does have a yandere. Future Recommendation.

There are a bunch of other ones that I have either in my masterlist or in my drafts, (most of the ones in my drafts are r18 vns but that's another story) so if you want to find some more, they are in there. Hopefully this is a good list to play through though.

Man, I’m awful at remebering to post here... so awful that I’ve managed to forget to post my last couple of releases xD They’re both free to download :3 Man a multidimensional support line in Limbo Line. What could possibly go wrong? (I’ll give you a hint: lots!) https://melancholy-marionette.itch.io/limbo-line And ever wished there was an English localised fandub of the Yandere Heaven drama CD series? Well, now there is (of volume 01 anyways, haha), in VN form, and Atsushi & Kakeru have been joined by their female counterparts, Aoi & Kasumi! https://melancholy-marionette.itch.io/yandere-heaven Hope you enjoy the yandere shenanigans ^-^
