Tanya wakes up for a second time in an orphanage, as a Callowan in the Dread Empire of Praes. Will she finally reach her peaceful retirement in a fantasy world of storybook heroes and villains?
When her very reality conspires to create interesting narratives according to the whims of good and evil gods?
Will she become a villain to be cast down in the third act or will her story have a happy end?
Crossover between "A Practical Guide to Evil" and "Youjo Senki".
So for those unfamiliar with APGtE, it is a web novel set in a fantasy world where certain people receive "Names" (ranging from White Knight to Bard to Dread Empress) that turns the Named into characters of a tale. They are aware of this fact and know that Creation transforms their lives into stories (like "Hero defeats Disney Villain" and so on).
However, the rest of the setting is very realistic, without traditional fantasy tropes, outside of the stories created by the Named. Think GoT mixed with self-aware fairy tales.
I am writing this story because Raiseth already created one such crossover, called "A Practical Guide to A Cushy Retirement". And I hated it. Their Crossover commits a total and systematic character assassination of Tanya. So I decided to write my first fanfiction attempting to do better and to not let my complaints be lost in the comment section. This fanfiction will have the same starting position as Raiseth work (which really isn't bad by any means if you aren't a fan of Youjo Senki) but diverge significantly, simply by being more in line with Cannon Tanya.
This work is not meant as an attack on Raiseth and I would like to avoid a flame war. Criticism is welcome.
