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,

Honor remains by curlydots
Author summary:"You'd prefer if I died fighting you then?" Diarmuid says, his voice heavy with amusement.
Saber and Lancers fight in the Einzbern forest ends a little differently.
An enjoyable oneshot with in the authors own tagwords bromance and Knights being knightly.
Kinda bittersweet but it's Fate/zero so it's to be expected.

I will also + 1 to Vestigial Mercies
and since it apparently has no summary and needs one.
Basically a young Kotomine taking the place of Shirou in the fire. Think about that for a second the anti-Shirou gets rescued and raised by Emiya Kiritsugu
we also get to see a delightful relation with Rin.
Finally Kirei Summons Jean an Anti-Gil of sorts while Rin summons the king of kings himself Gilgamesh.
Saw Honor Remains a day or two ago. Could have done with more in it: not adding to the before-and-after, but extra meat in the actual time it's covering. It's still decent, but not by any means outstanding.

Okay, I've labored through the last available chapter, so here's what I thought.
The bad:
- Copy-pasta of In Flight's "Shirou's girlfriends" part. Really, is that the kind of thing you'd tell tell your long lost mother on your first meeting, not to mention you've broken up with them anyway? It seems like a forced way to make to inform the Sekirei cast that he's experienced in harem shenanigans, and, more worryingly, that they might be able to force that on him in the future.
- There's a POV shift halfway through the second chapter from Shirou to Minato to Shirou again, which is annoying since the story's told from a first-person narrative. If not for the hard-to-notice "POV Change" alert I would've been utterly confused.
- Groan-worthy parts like "Type Sekirei" and "By the Root".
- Several typos here and there. This guy needs a beta.
Surprisingly (considering this was inspired by IF) there's also some not-bad points. Shirou's not on a power trip - his reaction to the prospect of fighting Karasuba is basically "I am so utterly fucked!". It also didn't bore me to tears as was the case with IF, mostly thanks to having less unnecessary expositions.
Final verdict (since I don't think I'll continue reading), it's a +0. Not bad to read when you're boredat work, but not something I would recommend to others.
Btw, have I recced Vestigial Mercies already? IF not, here's a +1 from me. Great job Zalgo, entertaining as usual.
You can't make an omelet without breaking a few Tohsaka. -Fafnir
Naruto is just a shitty little boy taking up space that would be otherwise taken up by competent, otaku-ego-crushing badasses. -Five_X
I anticipate the day when the HA translation comes out and everyone realizes that Caren is the least sexually dominant character in the universe. -Kotonoha
Gun control programs are actually a mage-financed government plot to make mankind start generating hero units again. -McJon
...okay, do we add a +1 without saying the reason why?
+1 without saying why puts you in the little horde of extras under the +X heading. If you give a note Kyte finds worthy along with your recommendation (or derec), you get a name and a link to your post before the wordless scum.

Why, hello there, food 2.0.
My attempts at being a (fanfic) writer:
Eclipse - a Saber Alter oneshot
Requiem for a Race - Altrouge and Ortenrosse hunt the TAs ( 1/3 chapters, discontinued )
Memories of a King - a 'Saber Origins' story ( 8/? chapters, discontiuned )
A Small Warmth - a post UBW-Good oneshot, Saber/Rin
Devil's Thrill - Narbareck hunts down a DAA Blackmore ( 10/10 chapters, finished )
Boundary of Loneliness - Ryougi Shiki/Alphard Al-Shua oneshot. Lemon-flavoured
+1 to Postnuptial Disagreements. Love the crazy magus-ness of Meriwether, the snarky remarks, the slow-as-teeth-pulling slide into the existence of basic human connections with people against his will, and the stuff blowing up. I also savor the ability of the author to willingly abandon canon in executing this crossover with an AU, and to not make a harem out of a harem anime crossover. And to make me actually cheer (mentally, okay, not out loud, but even so) when Kayneth made his first appearance. Also, Kiritsugu's few scenes involved much concentrated awesome. (Also, it was pretty courageous of the writer to have the protagonist not be involved in the Big Climactic Fight against the Very Final Boss, but instead be off doing something else--though Meri does get a pretty impressive final battle of his own.)
(I also note that in reading this fic, I have come to realize that Sekirei, a series of which I know very little other than it involves busty alien fighting girls in a harem, is a series from which I would very likely run in horror, given that Minato and his bunch of Sekirei are presumably the lead and harem from the actual series. The Matsu omake, especially, cements this.)

Don't worry, it's just a matter of time.

I have another recommendation, hopefully this time it has more success here. After your comments on my earlier recommendation I realized that my standards are a lot lower than many of you here. Hopefully this one does better.
Title: Alexandriad: The Song of Fire
Author: SuperGoldenFroggie
Summary: The Spring-Time Familiar Summoning Ritual summons the being most suitable for the mage. A soul of fire summons forth a soul of fire. The right spark can cause anything to burn. Fate/Zero Rider
Pairing(s): N/A
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6995539/...e-Song-of-Fire
This one only has three chapters out and it probably won't update anymore.
I thought Froggie said she'd have more time to write now that she changed jobs? Not sure, I'd have to ask her next time she comes online.
+1 to Vestigial Mercies. Let "A Study in Velvet" be praised, for it hath introduced me to the really-goodness that is Zalgo's writing.
Quotes & Stuff...No, no stuff, just quotes
Name: Anti-Bono
Author: Zalgo Jenkins
Summary: Kotomine Kirei and Emiya Kiritsugu as opposing lawyers in a court of law, funny ensues.

If you've ever wondered how would a FSN/Phoenix Wright crossover would got, then this is the fic for you.
Spoilered for your convenience
I would like to +1 Anti-Bono.
Short, sweet, doesn't outlast it's welcome and is both pretty funny and close enough to in-character.
I want it to be longer. There were other AA crossovers around here somewhere.
If For Want of a Relic doesn't get updated soon I'm going to rage.
He never sleeps. He never dies.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.
Are there any fic that focus on Hercules or he is an important character? Or are there any fic the make Shinji into a nicer person
