Don't go for the happy everyone-lives ending.
Linger: Complete. August, 1995. I met him. A branch off Part 3. Mikiya keeps his promise to meet Azaka, and meets again with that mysterious girl he once found in the rain.
Shinkai: Set in the Edo period. DHO-centric. As mysterious figures gather in the city, a young woman unearths the dark secrets of the Asakami family.
The Dollkeeper: A Fate side-story. The memoirs of the last tuner of the Einzberns. A record of the end of a family.
Overcount 2030: Extra x Notes. A girl with no memories is found by a nameless soldier, and wakes up to a world of war.
Old Heroes, New Fetishes
ayy
that one sucked balls though

I thought of the "I'M NAKED!" scene from Adventure Time and for some reason, it's strangely appropriate.
(I had intended to show it as a pic but I didn't know how to make it visible, so yeah)

Fate/Reach Out (Persona 4 crossover)
Precursors of Purity (Ni no Kuni crossover; two-shot)
Some people there kinda hate him over there.
Inaho maybe?
Anyway, +1 to Training of Rin.

Man, why is it that no one can seem to write Harry properly in fanfiction ever? I think the one time he was remotely, maybe possibly in character was that one Fate cross where it's in Deathly Hallows and Saber's there for some reason and Magic Resistance too stronk, and that's being generous. Illya's good in it but I can't give something a passing grade on partial credit so I don't feel like reccing it.
Now, in contrast, The Not-Fatal at all Cultural Exchange Program, which also has an OOC Harry? Well, that's just Pale Wolf basically going crazy and is so muh spess battuls taken to an Nth degree that it somehow became a guilty pleasure of mine. That in mind, I would also not recommend it in good faith.
My Fanfics. Read 'em. Or not.McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.
I feel the same; I'm actually a bit sad it died.
Harry honestly doesn't have a really distinct personality in the books anyways. When people do fanfic and take the plot off the rails, I don't blame them for going directions with him.
I thought about mentioning this in my initial post, but I left it unsaid because it's honestly been years since I've read the series and someone out there could spot me on this better than I could so I chose the option of deferral.
W41'sA feels like an epilogue to a story that should've at least been. All of the tell not show basically did it in. If I could've seen Harry's development from blank slate into a paranoid little ball of bitterness who also happens to be gay by the way because it's an important character trait guys honestly it's not like I'm fetishizing or trivializing it just because or anything like that, I'd feel more of a sense of investment and find meaning in their interactions with the Pig Pimples, even if it was ultimately an exercise in pointlessness.

Because fanfic writers are too busy changing Hermione over the summer to care about characterizing Harry properly.
A point in its favor is that Hermione and Illya becoming friends somehow is cute as fuck. I'll give credit where it's due.

Such is the lot of most of Pale Wolf's work, it seems.

Very well put
And that's another reason it chaps my ass. Rin, Illya and "Tetsu" show up with loads of story between them, but all we're getting is the end result so that Dumbledore can have his long-delayed Eureka! moment. I liked his POV, but the entire thing is an excuse to show us this edgy Harry and how much kewler he would have been in Nasu's hands than Rowling's.
Man, if everyone here is that critical about W41A despite being good one-shot, I would like to hear your comments about Lioness of Stormwind and its spinoff Dreams of Steel.
...I fear I might be digging my own grave now. Nevermind.
Oh come now, we're not being particularly scathing.

Yeah. Seika's no longer with us.
Title: Divine Words, by klassekatze
Summary: Caster never reached the Temple. As she lay dying, in another time and another place, a small boy collapses on a circle that shouldn't exist. Just before the end, Caster finds herself summoned, out of the war and into a world that seems like a mockery of everything she has ever known. But to ten year old Harry, even the Witch of Betrayal is salvation. It certainly can't be worse.
Review...-ish: Rewritten once. The previous version featured a runaway Harry stumbling into an abandoned wizard workshop and summoning Medea. Not much went on other than Medea transplanting some of her circuits into Harry so that he could learn magecraft and using Rule Breaker on some wizard magic that was attached to Harry.
The current version spends less time on those by making the need for that part irrelevant (Harry has 24 circuits... and so do others) and adding miscellaneous things like the Thief's Downfall at Gringotts destroying Medea's clothes since she makes them from magic. The plot moves faster, at least, since Harry is a Hogwarts already and turning Hermione into his Minion.
Not really much content-wise so far, other than the bit with Lily Moon and the Unspeakables hunting her having magic circuits, too, which would hopefully turn out something interesting.
so I guess it's uhh... is a +0 allow for the first rec? else it's just a 'wait and see if it becomes a trainwreck'.

Title: Ghost's Guardian by Icura
Plot synopsis: Sarah Kerrigan was left for dead on New Gettysburg until Alaya intervened. Now, she's bonded to a smart-mouthed, white haired mysterious man. And what the hell is this about her being a magus?
Review: What would Sarah become had been she not captured by Zerg and became Queen of Blades, and instead getting herself contracted to Will of Humanity's companion? As of now not much going on (only three chapters), but looks pretty original, doesn't bend too much lores from both sides, and amazingly fast-packed action with well-written narratives. I think this is definitely one of the rare gems for Fate crossovers (especially because we rarely get good Fate Sci-fi cross).The closest we get of "what would happen if Shirou transported into the world of (pre-)Notes?".
Beam, is that you?
F/GO SUPPORT
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Having actually finished this, I have nothing really to say about the characterization and the actual plot because the writing itself gave me a headache. I understand the need to obscure things from Dumbledore's limited perspective but the narration is just deliberately obtuse.
Let's look at an example:
The pronoun game is real.
A tangential issue I have is that this did not read like Minerva talking to Dumbledore. This didn't even read like Minerva talking to the reader. Instead, this read like the writer had shoved his fist through Minerva's mouth in order to nudge me and go, "Hey, aren't these eleven year olds so edgy?"
It's fine, great even, to write dark, mysterious, and pretentious prose for crossover fanfiction, but to do so, one should take care to deliver the foundation first (and to pad a vocabulary beyond thesaurus.com).
-1 from me.
