This fanfiction describes an encounter between two playable characters, a viking berserker and Japanese shinobi, in the game For Honor. Within this story, these two opponents meet on the battlefield as they fight for their lives. While this may appear to follow the original works, this fanfiction immediately changes the narrative when the duel becomes an “erotic encounter.” While dueling, the berserker is overcome, and collapses with the shinobi on top of him. From here, the shinobi doesn’t strike the berserker but rather begins to romantically taunt the berserker, hoping they would meet again.
Clearly, this fanfiction alters the original works of For Honor. This is done so by eliminating the “ending” of each game/match. Rather then the shinobi killing her opponent, she begins to flirt with the berserker – leading both opponents to hope for another romantic/erotic interaction after their first encounter.
