Married Mai Waifu For Real

{{trope}} {{trope workshop}} {{tropestub}}

So you're Trapped in Another World, one that you recognize from fiction back home. And it's a work with a character that you really, really liked. And you've met that character here. Wonder of wonders, after the character gets to know you, they really, really like you, too; when you asked whether they want to get married, They Do. Congratulations! But this story doesn't end there with a Happily Ever After; you and your special other still have a life to live together.

Married Mai Waifu For Real is when what would otherwise be an "author gets the character" Wish Fulfillment story continues after the wedding. This is not just about getting the girl (or whoever); that's Happily Ever After. This is about telling stories about full-fledged relationships; the characters have to balance work and their family life, and they have children if they've been together for long enough.

In many ways, this is a Deconstruction of Happily Ever After, done in a way that doesn't invalidate the trope's basic premise.

The Trope Maker is Undocumented Features, where five of the Author Avatars form families with who in Real Life would be considered to be fictional characters.

Examples of Married Mai Waifu For Real include:

Fan Works

• As mentioned above, the Trope Maker is Undocumented Features:
  • Gryphon and Kei (...and Skuld, and Sumire Kanzaki, and ...)
  • Megazone and Yuri
  • Rob Shannon and Ayeka
  • Redneck and Wasyuu
  • Hammer and Eiko
• The only reason the Official Couple in Isekai by Moonlight (Robu and Makoto) isn't married is because her guardian has told them to wait. They're otherwise an example of this trope, scheduling fun times around work, shopping for groceries together, sharing the household chores, and supporting each other in combat.
