I'm the Prince's beard

Prologue

Prologue

Apr 23, 2020

Going home from the bookstore, my heart was pounding. Finally! The book I had been waiting for, for, well, years, was now in my very arms.

I held it close to my chest. Going home, making tea, and reading the sappy love story I was promised oh-so-many-years-ago.

The author, my favorite fanfic writer, had finally written her own book, and I, as a long-time fan, had been supporting her as much as I could.

What was this? Simple fan love? An author crush? Or did I simply adore the BL stories she wrote?

With a pounding heart and sweaty palms, not because I was nervous, but because of a condition, I made myself comfortable on my bed, starting to read "The sappy love story cliché"

Oh, even the title spoke to me on a spiritual level!

Time went by, and with each page I got more and more drawn in. A poor girl gets picked up by the handsome prince, they fall in love, overcome misunderstandings, drama, opposition for their marriage, since she is but a commoner!

And then there is the neighbouring kingdom. A minor part of the story. The eldest prince is secretly gay. Oh, I knew it! Author! You wouldn't forget about your BL roots!

As I read, I got more and more invested in the world. As expected by an AU master. Her world building is something else.

Huh?

Huh??

WAIT WHAT?

DID SHE JUST KILL THE GAY PRINCE?????????????

I TRUSTED YOU AUTHOR!

My poor gay baby, mistreated by my favorite author, oh woe is me...

I need a break.

Walking outside, breathing in the air, I try to clear my mind. Feeling heartbroken. Having lost trust in humanity. Why oh why, would you kill the only gay representative in your story, Author?

Why would you, AU BL master, BETRAY THE GAYS?????

Just as I turn around, the good old Truck-kun comes and slams me in the face.

Well...
First story on Tapas
Haha
Tbh, this is just a preview of what's to come. I just want to see if there is even an interest for Amy and her heartbreak and mistrust of a certain used-to-be-fanfic-writer

Just to make sure
BL=Boys love
AU=Alternative universe
(But you guys are on Tapas so you probably already knew this)

Anyway, hope you like it so far.
I'm gonna go work out the plot properly and come back with a "Proper" and longer first chapter :)

In the novel Amy is reading, her favorite BL-Fanfic-writer-turned-author kills the only gay representative?
How dare the author do that, forgetting all about the BL fanfic roots from which they came?
But all of a sudden, in best isekai-style Amy is INSIDE the novel and decides to save the prince and his gay ass!
But how will Amy manage when she suck at proper etiquette, doesn't have any BL books, and can't have pant-less days eating chips?

Just to be clear, a "beard" is slang for a woman either dating or marrying a gay man to make him seem not-gay
