And here I was thinking this was just a prequel/side story about the Einzberns jumping in bed with the Nazis before their failure in the Third Grail War. I wasn't expecting a full-blown alternate history.

First posted on Alternate History.net, mate. Unfortunately, they're very Modern Chauvanistic over their and tend not to like stories where the Magic Side has something to teach the Mundane Side, preferring their mages to stand in awe of the mundane who starts quoting Wikipedia and armchair philosophy at them. Which was interesting the first time, when the writer was an actual engineer and the character wasn't a complete douche-nozzle about it, but got really old when the followers starting turning everyone who didn't have a modern mindset into racist and sexist caricatures that only existed to make their self-inserts look good.
But I digress. Yep, Alternate History. Jubby has his own goals, which don't necessarily align with the ones of those who he'll be working with, and he hasn't yet been disillusioned by the pointless slaughter in the Third War (and he didn't experience the senseless slaughter of the Second War, that was his brother - who died horribly like everyone else). I hope you guys don't mind that sort of thing.

Now I feel like a child who is barely grasping the essence of the English Language ;_;
I must make it a point to read this...
Fancy a Fate/Extra Fanfic?

Amateur's Fox Tail CCC clean attempts
Have you written any other stuff, Rosen? If the prose continues to be this good, I'd read it even without the FSN crossover.
Yes, though this is my first attempt at something long running that isn't a quest since ~2011. If you don't mind that format (which was basically ~1k-2k words followed by voting for a choice), then the only one that I would be willing to admit to writing is Tonks Quest over on Spacebattles. Crossed over with KnK and Fate, with Tonks as an anomalous reincarnation of Shiki, MEoDP and all. The Babylonian section is probably the best written (because Gilgamesh makes everything better), though people seemed to like the Kissed By Demented Spirits bad end. I run by the same handle there, so feel to browse some of my old shames as well.
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster;
And treat those two impostors just the same,

"From a dusky world with an ever-setting sun, a limitless rain of Ryougi Shiki streaked down from gargantuan gears set in the sky." Fate: Over 9000, my best Crack yet.
Nice.
I'm definitely going to keep an eye out on this whole Story.
Current Projects (on Beast's Lair): None that I can manage right now...
Welp, let me just pick my jaw up and say that man, that was a good read.
