TM Fanfics Index: Recommendations & Discussion. Updates never

[warellis]

I also offer +1 to Man off the Moon. I'm enjoying the crossover with Mass Effect and the characterization feels good.

I'd love it if you could add Rejuvenation of a Bloodline to the index.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1295030...of-a-Bloodline

I know it's somewhat gauche to promote my own story here, but I'd love to get some more feedback.
The story follows Matou Shinji as he becomes a magus and takes part in the Fifth Holy Grail War, following a life-changing encounter with Kariya in 1994. I currently have a prologue and five chapters out and I've just gotten to the beginning of the Grail War. If the premise sounds familiar to you, it's because I was inspired by Kariya's Legacy. It was abandoned by its author, and I did get his approval on my story. Also, the two stories diverge pretty quickly, so I'm confident in calling it my own thing, not a spinoff or a rewrite.
I can't exactly post a review, as this is my own work, but I'd love to see some opinions from people on here.

I found a neat one this week, Swords and Sorcery. A post UBW True End Shirou is helping Rin with the Jewel Sword when he gets zapped to a Harry Potter world. Turned into a child (because of course he would be), he tries to find the Clock Tower but only finds Diagon Alley instead. Basic Harry Potter plot points follow, but substituting a Fem!Harry. What I like the most about it is how paranoid Shirou is. He tells no one he's from another world, fearing he'll get some sort of Sealing Designation and vivisected. Pulling swords out nowhere? Accidental magic. There's no instant exchanging of magics and histories like you get in most crossovers, and is less about Shirou trying to get home (but he still is always looking) or attempting to start his life over again (Because Rin is still out there and probably pissed off) and more about how his being around changes the normal canon events.

I wouldn't say it's great, but it's competent and entertaining. And after going on a dive looking for new fanics, it's probably one of the best of the bunch.

-1 for swords and sorcery.

god I wish to erase it from my memory, what a waste of time.

[xthomas]

Hah. I’ve read all three of these recs.

-1 to S&S, I went through the whole thing and felt bored

+1 to man off the moon, though it is flawed, as spirit hacking is completely broken. And it’s way too long - I don’t know how recursive anathema will handle ending such a long fic

rejuvenation of a bloodline has so far been decent.

note that none of these fics are finished

[Kyte]

Right, it's been ages and I've basically given up on it.
If anyone cares to pick this up go talk to a mod.

I just want to get rid of this tab from my browser. It really has been sitting there for 21 months.

fallacies is making a Fate x Worm story. She hasn't posted it here to my knowledge, nor has anyone talked about it, but I don't check here that often. Here is the story link: https://forums.spacebattles.com/thre...-walks.709543/

(a few) opinions so far: wordy on fate stuff, uses big words and talks a lot, because of that some love it, some hate it, one person dropped it because they struggled with fallacies English (second language). As it is a Worm story the protagonist is Taylor Hebert. go read it, criticize it, hate it, like it, whatever.

that's a big fat double whopper of no

[Mattias]

I know they tried a Worm/Fate fic here a few years back. But like all fallacies stories it got ten chapters in and then died.

[You]

What was the trend after Worm/ fics.

[Leftovers]

No fics at all.

[Mattias]

What was the trend after Worm/ fics.

CYOA Harry Potter.

[Historia]

Isn't Harry Potter a thing in-universe? At least whatever timeline Case Files is apart of?

[neveron]

Case Files' timeline is the one with Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night, for reference. (Or, well, close enough. Zero's got some discrepancies with Stay Night that makes it a bit of an alternate prequel of sorts.)

Eh. Okay.
I'd ask you what the problem is, but eh.

[warellis]

Eh. Okay.
I'd ask you what the problem is, but eh.

Honestly, probably the drop story after 10 chapters and claim next update will come shortly and never have it come back aspect.

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

I thought it was just the hype backlash for Worm.

[Dragolord09]

+ 1 to Fragments of Chaldea for me.

I've also got another fic for a recommendation if you're interested: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11150281/1/Fate-Genesis

Fate Genesis By: Cybertoy00
While fighting against Dr. Eggman, Sonic and the gang are transported to Fuyuki at the beginning of the 5th Heaven's Feel. A Chaos factor like no other has been introduced to the Holy Grail War, and Masters and Servants alike find their plans blown away by a sonic boom!

EDIT: Forgot my own review for it:

It's an interesting crossover being formed here, very fun to read like a good book.

[warellis]

I thought it was just the hype backlash for Worm.

That to no doubt. Worm crossovers are sort of exhausting. I really wish fallacies would go back to that FI/SI quest of their on the eve of the 5th Grail War.

[Draconic]

Where are you at in it, Dragolord? Because depending on where you are, the quality changes dramatically.
