Welp, that reminds me to -1 FFD.
Everyone's given their reasons, like the prose and the pacing and the mischaracterization and whatever, so I won't mention those. I'll focus on the wankery.
Basically, FFD!Shirou is pretty much broken for the sake of broken. This brokenness(?) adds little to the story other than "Hey, look how BAMF my not-OC is!", and TF gives him a ridiculous amount of power-ups, for yet again no reason other than what's likely wish-fulfillment. Not only this, but he also makes him perform ridiculous feats that pretty much kill suspension of disbelief. Here's a list of things:
wankery examples, spoilers within
While that alone would only be kind of terrible, the narration pretty much gushes about how analytic and badass and whatever FFD!Shirou is supposed to be every other line or so (okay, that was an exaggeration). This, combined with his Shirou acting like a smug asshat all the time, makes the reading rather unenjoyable.
TL;DR: TF makes him OP for the sake of OP, and the story suffers for it.
I probably missed a few points, but the above should be sufficient.
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.
Was considering that, but it was already mentioned by others.

hei guise, what's your favourite bionicles movie?
+1 Snow Bunnies, by Arashi Leonheart.
A one-shot, focused on Taiga, family, and Christmas. There isn't too much to say about this, except it's fluffy and sweet, mixed with somewhat sad. It's a short story, so it's more of a read-it-and-see sort of thing. But it's still good.

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,

I save the last post I've processed and then I go through everything in one big batch. No need for find the post, I'll come across it myself.
Aaaand done.
I can't find it in my index. You'll have to gimme a writeup. What's it about and why you like it, preferably not so mixed so I can distill the former into a summary.
I took the liberty of taking this as a +1
I kinda don't wanna add this one because I just know it's not gonna go anywhere. Rodyle can't finish stories.
It's missing a link.
