Well, guys, I kept promising that I was going to write a harem fic. I kept saying in the start of my first few chapters of Tactician Magician that I was going to write one. But you know something, it's easy to say you're going to write something, but it's better to just do it. And that's what I'm doing. I'm releasing the first chapter.

I considered Tactician Magician to be a Semi-Harem as Robin shared special moments with the female future children but this harem is gonna go all out. I'm gonna do it and I'm gonna do it right. The idea came from a good friend of mine, a mentor who's helped tremendously in my writing, Temporal King. Please, guys, give him a follow and favorite as he has contributed much to this fic as I have.

With great harems also comes with great responsibility. The only way to do a harem justice is to do it right and that's what I'm going to try and do. I'm already writing two additional harems, a Persona 5 fic and Huniepop fic so I have a lot on my plate in the harem department. Rest assured, I will still try my best to upload more but I've got a lot of other fics to write, I will do my best to upload but also know that I have family matters to attend to as well as I'm on Christmas break like I'm sure most of you already are.

So let's start out with some shoutouts. First shoutout goes to, of course, Temporal King, for the requesting this fic. I do not lie when I say he was contributed much to the progress of this fic and has given me a lot of ideas that will be utilized in the fic, of course, I plan to remain spoiler free so you'll have to wait and see. 2nd shoutout goes to csihawk for their fic Awakening - To Love a Memory. They just uploaded another chapter so go check it out when you can.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Let's get this party started!


Robin awoke from slumber, he realized that he had fallen asleep on his desk. Again. He had spent the other day signing paperwork and filling out documents for Chrom that he had passed out from exhaustion. On the bright side, he managed to get some work done. Sometimes he felt as if Chrom is pushing all of his work on his friend so the Exalt could have more free time with family and friends.

As he got up from his office chair, he looked out the window and guess that it was around noon, meaning he had skipped breakfast.

Again.

As he felt his stomach rumble, he left the safe confines of his office to head to the mess hall.

This was pretty much his routine. With no more conflict and the Fell Dragon Grima dead forever, there was nothing left for the tactician to do except fill out Chrom's stupid paperwork. The rest of the Shepherds returned to their normal lives and the future children sat out on their own adventures. However, some did remain.

Despite her protests, Lucina chose to remain in Ylisse, having been accepted by the populace as a Princess. Nah lived with her parents but started a career as an author. The tactician would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy her books, most having to do with her time in the ruined future as well as her life as a half-manakete. Noire lived with her parents as well, working as an assistant for her mother, and by assistant, it's more like "guinea pig" considering Robin has to occasionally break the curses the Dark Mage would put on her daughter. As for Owain, Severa, and Inigo, the three settled in at the castle. Owain was kind enough to help Robin out from time to time and thought of him as his closest confidant besides, Chrom, assisting him with paperwork and telling him stories of Owain Dark. It provided him with much-needed entertainment. Inigo and Severa live together from what he heard, those two still as close as they were during the war, even though Robin doubted the flirt would settle dwon, he and Severa appear happy together.

As for the rest, Gerome and Cynthia were living in Wyvern Valley, far from Ylisse. She still writes from time to time to let her family know how she was doing. As for her beloved Wyvern Rider, he barely made an effort to write to his family. Then again, he did say he wanted nothing to do with the people of this timeline, guess he was being serious about it. Yarne went off on his own adventure but sends letters to let everyone know he's still alive. Kjelle went traveling around the world looking for challenges to test her skill. Although she and her mother don't talk anymore for... reasons, she still keeps in touch with her Father. Brady became a traveling musician instead of settling for life amongst the nobility. He often enjoyed the times where he would ask the tactician for constructive criticism even though he had none as his songs were very well thought out and beautifully performed.

Everyones changed. He noted. Well, everyone except me.

As Robin walked into the grand hall, he caught something very peculiar.

"Oh, no." Robin rolled his eyes at what he witnessed.

"Alright, guys. Whenever you're ready!" Vaike exclaimed.

The fighter was currently seated in a canoe, ready to sail down the castle stairs with Stahl and Gaius holding onto it until they were ready to let go. Chrom, Donnel, Lon'qu, Henry, and Ricken where all here too but clearly did not want any part of this. None of the guards bat an eye at the antics of the Shepherd and some chose to focus on other parts of the castle, whistling tunes to themselves.

"Hey, Muscles. How exactly do you plan on steering it?" Gaius wondered.

"What do you think?" He showed them the oar that came with the canoe. "Duh."

Gaius and Stahl looked at each other, both thought that an oar wasn't going to do the fighter any good. Chrom stepped in and offered a suggestion.

"Look Vaike, if you're gonna do this, at least wear a helmet or something." The Exalt offered.

"No way, Chrom! I didn't wear a helmet during the last three wars and I don't plan to wear one now!" He exclaimed.

"Vaike, this isn't a war, this is just plain idiocy," Chrom told him. "I'm trying to make sure you don't end up with a concussion."

"Yeah, you'd like that wouldn't you?" Vaike sneered, believing the Exalt was trying to deter him from accomplishing this task.

"I tried." He threw his arms up in annoyance.

"Alright, guys! Hit it!" The Fighter demanded.

"On a count to 3!" Gaius said. "1... 2..."

"3!"

Both Stahl and Gaius released their hands on the canoe and watched as the Fighter sailed down the flight of stairs. As they predicted, the oar did not help whatsoever.

"YEAH!" As he sailed down the stairs, he screamed with excitement. However, it wasn't until he reached the bottom when everything went downhill. The force cause Vaike to fly out of the canoe and hit the ground hard. "OW!"

"Well, at least he made it down the stairs this time," Ricken said.

"Ooooh, I think he broke something." Henry giggled at the sight.

"*Sigh*" Lon'qu just gave an irritated sigh as he wondered why he was even here.

"OW!" Vaike clutched his shoulder in pain from the impact of the fall. As he looked up, he realized that he had landed in front of the tactician himself. "Oh, h-hey Rob."

"Do I even need to ask?" Robin wondered.

"Hehe, sorry. A-Ah! Look can you..."

"I'm not getting a medic because you won't learn anything if I do." The Tactician told him.

"Oh, cmon man." He complained.

"Well, look who decided to grace us with his presence," Chrom remarked as he and the others walked down the stairs

"Maybe if you did some of your own paperwork, Milord, I would have more free time." The tactician fired back.

"Bubbles' got a point Blue." Gaius pointed out.

"Yeah, yeah." Chrom waved it off. "Sorry, Robin. I know you were working hard but don't try and finish everything in a day."

"Yeah, Robin. You should hang with us for the rest of the day." Stahl suggested.

"Well..." The tactician was just going to get something to eat and then get back to work.

"Cmon, Robin. You've been cramped in your office all week." Ricken said. "Let's all do something."

"Yee-haw! I wouldn't mind a get-together!" Donnel shipped in.

"Yeah, listen to the kids, Bubbles." The thief added. "You barely hang out with us as it is, live a little, will ya?"

"Well..." Seeing as how his friends really wanted him to join them in their little misadventures, he decided to relent, figuring this would be the best way to kill time. "Alright."

"Awesome!" Gaius said as each Shepherd gave the tactician a friendly tap on the shoulder, glad that they would be hanging with him.

"Uh, excuse me! I am really hurt!" As they all turned to Vaike who was still on the floor in pain, they had all forgotten that the fighter was still there. Stahl picked up the wounded man and carried him off to see a medic.

"Well, that was fun," Gaius said. "Anyways, I'm hungry."

"I was actually heading to the mess hall myself." The tactician said.

"Alright, gang. Let's get some grub!"


As the boys got their food, they seated themselves at a table, waiting for Vaike and Stahl to join them. After a few minutes, the two arrived with the fighter's arm contained in a cast. Stahl had to get his food for him, using all of his willpower not to eat the fighter's food for himself.

"So, hows the arm Vaike?" Chrom wondered.

"I dislocated my shoulder, but it was nothing a healing spell couldn't fix." He laughed it off even though his shoulder was still throbbing a little.

"Well, all's well that ends well," Gaius said. "So, Blue. What else are we gonna do for the day?"

"Hmm?" The Exalt thought of possible activities they could do but none of them sounded like anything they would be interested in. "I don't know. Any suggestions?"

"I got one!" Ricken raised his hand. "How about truth or dare!"

"Truth or dare? Really?" Vaike laughed a little. "Isn't that for little kids?"

"Hey." The boy complained.

"Actually, that doesn't sound bad." The thief added. "I could go for a little truth or dare."

"Sounds good to me, as long as we don't have to do anything embarrassing," Stahl said.

"Oh, come now. You only live once, so let's live in the moment!" Gaius replied. "All in favor of truth or dare."

They reached raised their hand with the exception of Vaike and Robin. The fighter being unable to due to his shoulder and the tactician was a little apprehensive about playing something like this.

"Cmon, Bubbles. You're not getting out of this." The thief warned

"*Sigh* Fine." The tactician gave in.

"Alright, I'll start!" Stahl stated before pointing at Gaius. "You're up Gaius, truth or dare."

"Dare. I've got nothing to lose." The thief stated proudly.

"Except a few days in prison." The Prince muttered under his breath.

"Okay." The scatterbrained knight did his best to come up with an enticing dare. "Alright, I got one. I dare you, to go pants a guardsman."

"Done." The thief disappeared for a few moments before the group heard a yelp come from the far corner of the room.

"What in the hell!"

They watched as the guardsman in the far corner has both of his leg plattings fall to the ground to reveal a dirty little secret he was carrying. Pink undergarments. Gaius made a point to bring this up for blackmailing purposes. The Guardsman collected his platings, placed them back on in a hurry and resumed his post, the only change about him was the redness that painted his cheeks.

The gang tried their best to contain their laughter at the situation, even Lon'qu had trouble keeping it together. A few seconds later, Gaius appeared back at his table seat.

"Beat that." He dared.

"Wow," Stahl said in surprise.

"Alright, my turn," Gaius said as he decided who will be the next victim. "You're up, kid. Truth or Dare?"

"Uh. U-Um." He didn't think he would be picked and he was a little nervous given how devious the thief was. "I think I'll pick... Dare!"

"Alright then." He grinned as he thought of a good one. "I dare you to use that wind magic of yours too, let's see... knock the armor plating off one of the guardsmen."

"Oh, that's easy," Ricken said as he chose his target, the same guardsman that the thief had pantsed a few minutes ago. He pulled out his tome and readied a spell. "Okay, steady and... Arcwind!"

Focusing his wind magic on specific parts of his armor, the guardsman flew back into the wall behind him as each and every bit of his armor came off. He fell to the ground before getting back up, collecting his armor, and leaving the scene in a daze. The others couldn't help but break into laughter.

"AHAHAHAHA!" Gaius was close to falling out of his seat from laughter. "Now that's comedy! Up top, kid!" He raised his hand and the young mage gave him a quick high five.

"That guardsman's going to be emotionally damaged for the rest of his days, you know," Robin whispered into his best friend's ear.

"I'll give him a pay raise to make up for it," Chrom assured him before getting back to the game.

"Alright, you're up Vaike." Ricken pointed toward the fighter. "Truth or Dare."

"Can't really do much with this arm so hit me with a truth." The fighter replied but received a groan from Gaius.

"Boooo!"

"Shaddup! This is your fault, Gaius!" Vaike glared.

"My fault? Muscles, riding the canoe was your idea." The thief pointed out.

"It was not!"

"You were the one riding the canoe, though." Stahl brought up.

"And you were foolishly insistent that we all watch," Lon'qu complained.

"kinda was yer idea, Vaike," Donnel said.

"Yep, it was Vaike." Ricken nodded.

"100% you Vaike." Robin believed.

"Definitely Vaike." Chrom sided against his rival.

"You guys suck." The fighter grumbled as everyone turned against him. "But, it's my decision as a Ylissean citizen and I'm sticking with it!"

"What if your Exalt orders you otherwise?" Chrom smirked.

"This is what I think of your orders!" The fighter hit his chest before unleashing a large burp.

"Cute," Robin remarked.

"Cmon, we're getting off track!" Ricken pouted as they continued the game. "So, Vaike. Is it true that you once, uh... spied on Sully when she was taking a bath?"

"W-Wha?!" He was taken off guard by the kid's question.

"You know what, nevermind! This I gotta hear!" Gaius laughed as he and the others awaited his answer.

"I, I d-don't..."

"Vaike, in accordance with the laws of Truth or Dare, the rules compel you to answer!" The thief stated dramatically while pointing an accusatory finger at him.

"Fine! Yes, I did it once and I don't regret it!" He said proudly.

"Vaike, we're going to need to talk later." Chrom sneered as this was the first he's ever heard of this.

"NYAHAHA! I heard Sully's horse nearly tore you a new one when he caught you!" Henry laughed.

"S-Shaddup! It was one time, okay!" The fighter argued.

"Maybe I should go get Libra, I think he would love to hear about how you like to oogle his wife." The Dark Mage offered.

"You try to leave this table, Henry, and it will be the last steps you will ever take in your life!" He threatened.

When the laughter died down, Robin couldn't help but admit that he was having fun. It sure was nice to get together with the guys again. They all seemed to be having a blast, they were comfortable with making strange dares with each other, they were all so confident and outgoing. It was kind of envious.

"Alright, if we're done talking about this, it's my turn." Vaike calmed everyone down as it was now his turn to pick. He looked around before he zoomed in on his target. He thrust his finger towards the person he chose. "Your up, Robbie!"

"Huh?" Robin was, a little taken aback by having been called.

"Pfft, good luck. Knowing Bubbles, he's probably going to just pick truth." Gaius stated.

"Oh, cmon. Give the guys some credit. He hasn't made his decision yet." Stahl said. "Although, I hope you pick Dare, Robin."

"Really, guys." The tactician complained.

"I too refuse to allow you to pick otherwise." Great, even Lon'qu was getting into it. "There are times when you must take risks, or you'll always be a step behind. So, what's your choice, tactician?"

"Nyahaha! Pick Dare, Robin! Pick Dare!" Henry goaded.

"You can do it, Robin!" Ricken decided to go for an encouraging approach.

"Pick Dare Robin! Cmon, be a man!" Vaike exclaimed.

"Guys!" Chrom stood up, calming downs his fellow brothers-in-arms. "This game is supposed to be fun, it's not fun for Robin if you guys make him choose Dare. Let us be respectful of our friend and let him make his choice."

Everyone calmed down and took their seats once more, allowing Robin to think about what choice he should make. To be fair, what Gaius said really irked it. It's like the thief believed he wasn't confident enough to accept a Dare. He nearly sacrificed his very existence to slay the Fell Dragon for crying out loud, and the thief had the gall to say he wasn't confident. This cannot stand, it was an insult to his pride as a tactician and his pride as a man. Clenching his fist to wash away the nerves, he gave his answer.

"Dare."

Everyone was struck silence from his answer as it wasn't the one they all expected.

"Well, well. Look what we have here." Gaius teased. "Alright, looks like someone's taking this game seriously.

"There are times when you must take risks, or you'll always be a step behind, right?" He repeated Lon'qu's words, earning a small smile from the swordsman. "Hit me with your best shot Vaike."

"Oh, boy. So we got ourselves a hot shot, huh?" The fighter said as he stood up. "Alright, Robin. You asked for it."

The fighter jumped onto the table dramatically, closing his eyes, breathing in and out as he prepared himself for the challenge he had for the tactician. He had this one in his mind the moment he chose Robin to be the next victim and now that he has the strategist's full cooperation, he was gonna go all out.

"I, Vaike the Wonder, dare you, Robin, the Hero of Southtown! The Tactician Magician! The Saint of Chon'sin! The Demon of Ylisse! The Fell Dragon's Bane!"

"Get to the point, Vaike." Chrom hurried him up as the fighter listed off all the titles the tactician managed to accumulate during his career in the Shepherds.

"I dare you to, drum roll, please." At his command, the Shepherds starting banging on the table in a mock drum roll. "Get... a..."

What that Dare, his life changed forever. He believed that everyone had changed except him, but in this instance, he was about to change. For better or worse, we'll just have to find out.

"GIRLFRIEND!"


The first chapter is out.

This is only the start of the journey so I hope you'll stick around as I have much more in store for our favorite tactician.

Keep in mind, this harem fic will only feature Robin and the Female Future Children only. This was all part of the idea as I believed that the future children didn't get enough love in the Fire Emblem Fandom and Naga knows they deserve it after all they've been through.

Also, some characters will be bashed so just a warning but overall the fic's ending will be related to the title of the fic.

Til next time.
