After a quick scan of the posts since the last time Kyte updated the OP, maybe I'm missing one or two but
The Story of How Waver Velvet Came to Compile Lord Kayneth's Encyclopedia of Arcane Secrets
Golden Prayers
Fight/Knight
Prism Mayhem
Demimondaine
Medium Rare
Hero Light
The Time Is Now
Localizationing stuff
I found Golden Prayers to be one of those dime-a-dozen stories where they try to cram in as many Servants and cameos as possible without much rhyme or reason and not enough in the way of characterization or interesting ideas to make it worth the slog. But maybe it got better after the boring first chapter.
I can't vouch for Demimondaine, Fight/Knight or Prism Mayhem, having read none of them, but I can vouch for all the rest.
So that leaves Waver Story with a Long Name, Hero Light and Medium Rare as the strongly recommended ones on that list and The Time Is Now as something everyone on BL should experience.

something interesting was posted on /vg/ and while some nasu stuff are interpreted...uniquely it's still a decent read.

Did a bit of cutting to make it an easier read.
Versus
Back to recs, here's a +1 to Medium Rare. It's not something you see everyday, both in terms of quality and premise. But then again, this is Bloble, so quality is a given but still...

Title: Fate Magnus Bellum
Author: 00Altair
Summary: The King and the Saint... two heroes now simply known as Saber and Ruler. Together, both set out to find out the reason as to why the latter was summoned in the first place. To ensure that order was restored. However, the answers they seek are not what either expected them to be. This is their story, and the story of all those who participated in the Great Holy Grail War.
Review: Really good read. A fanfic nearly featuring all of Fate/ series, but mostly focused on Apocrypha and Prototype combined with possible StrangeFake/GrandOrder(?) elements (even features certain characters from Lord El-Melloi II Case Files, Fate/EXTRA (CCC), Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, etc.), with Jeanne (Ruler) and Arthur(Proto!Saber) as the main characters of the story.

It's not listed but I ask, is there any trace of romance in it?
QuotesA Writer's FateF/GO JP (Updated: 4/11/2019)
Plus 0/green name recommendation from me
The prose is nothing to write home about, and the author is one of those people who thinks Batman-styled *CRUNCH* and *CLANG* sound effects in the middle of the story enhance the fight instead of turning the entire thing into one big joke. I can't say I'm particularly impressed with the characterization or the the direction the story is headed when so much of it apes Apocrypha with a little Prototype thrown in.
Then there are the lazy hooks like the mysterious figure appearing before Saber at the Grail, and with the way the prose goes out of its way to conceal the person's identity, it feels like an artificial way of building suspense. Then again, the entire thing feels like the author decided it would be cool to throw half the Fate franchise in a blender because more Servants make for a more awesome story or some such.
It's not aggressively awful, but it has a lot of mistakes that make it too much of a grind to be worthwhile. I've seen worse, but I've also seen a standard of "better" that this story fails to reach, which would have made it worth recommending.

Just skimmed over the first chapter, but the *SMASH* and *STAB* sound effects and the like are probably supposed to imitate the Visual Novel's "impact sounds". Whether you think they do a good job on that task is up to you, however.
