The smallest of changes impact life the most, and Shirou makes his mark on a certain Illyasviel Von Einzbern. What happens changes the entire face of the Holy Grail War in mere moments.
A take on an Illya-route storyline. Vey well-written with decent humor and above-par action scenes. |

Nasuverse/Sekirei crossover. Years after AU 4th Grail War the son of Archibald El-Melloi finds himself embroiled in a supernatural tournament fought between aliens and their handlers. His boundless pride as a magus compels him to show these backwater natives the true meaning of competition.
Provides refreshing originality of plot and choice of protagonist/narrator (which is to say, a "traditional" magus), combined with hilarious narration and an utterly dysfunctional dynamic between protagonists. |

Shirou as the titular character of Familiar of Zero. While taking liberties with Shirou's character and the mechanics of the nasuverse, it's still a very fun story. Shirou and those around him grow as characters, develop strong bonds, and get to be pretty badass. Completed. |

It was just a small wish: To live with their master and their friends as those uneventful days passed by, to see him grow up as he chased his ideals by his own strength. To become an ally of justice; a hero who can save everyone.
Rather than mash the two universes together along the lines of canon, the fic instead starts off with the basis of Shirou becoming the Master of the Book of Darkness and the Wolkenritter at a young age, keeps it firmly grounded in the FSN setting, while slowly introducing elements from the Nanoha-verse. Scenes transition between light hearted comedy and slice of life to darker, plot moving points without feeling out of place. The fic also delves into the development of Shirou's character very well, but thankfully stays away from overplaying his hero tendencies. |

Ilya likes to play video games, and in the time she has remaining, Shirou is more than willing to play the new VR game with her. But when they are trapped inside the game, [Sword Art Online], they determine something even more distressing: Kayaba Akihiko is definitely a Magus.
Or: SAO is a big experiment and they're caught in it. |

Kara no Kyoukai / Prototype (the game). Shirazumi Lio had the bad luck of punching the AC unit where one Dr. Mercer had hid a viral bomb. Then he died, came back to life, ate his coroner and has had somewhere between five and seven mental breakdowns in about half a day.

Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi's stolen relic was one shipped from Ireland rather than Macedonia. As a result, an inexperienced Master determined to prove himself and a desperate Servant seeking absolution share in a quest for victory and recognition.
Remember those Next Encounter matchups? This is a fic with those. Still in progress, this fic develops the match from their summoning to them starting to actually be able to communicate with each other. There's also cutaways to the success or utter lack thereof that the other Masters and Servants are having, everyone's in character despite what events change and what events don't. |

It's the midst of World War 2, and a ancient disaster buried deep in Egypt is ready to go off, changing the fate of magic, and the world! Our protaganist, a "Scribe" whose duty is to record such ventures, is taken off to Egypt. Where he, an Archibald, and an Atlas Alchemist have to find the source before it's too late. All while dealing with curses, church zealots, and good old fashioned traps.
It's Indiana Jones in the Nasuverse. What's not to like. Fun two-fisted pulp action with a sufficiently entertaining nameless narrator. Action, wit, danger and all that. |

A story about a Shirou who sought to make a difference earlier than his counterparts.

How does the Grail choose a Master or a Servant? Fact of the matter is, it knows the difference between want and need. Masters of the Fourth Holy Grail War know they want a strong Servant, but the Grail knows the Servants they need.

The failed Fifth Holy Grail War is ten years gone. Grail War veterans Rin Tohsaka and Waver Velvet say the world is better off without the ritual, but several movers and shakers in the Clock Tower have a vested interest in seeing it continued in more "capable" hands.

A Berserker Heracles centric story in that his Mad Enhancement isn't activated and watches over Illya like a surrogate father (so character focus is on Team Illya). All characters are characterized well, especially the main characters, and the periodic dream cycle snippets happening in the chapters. It was originally intended to be a one shot of him watching over her, but has since then become a full fleshed out story, and one long over due for the Greek Demigod. |

Initially a rather human story about relationship development and living with past trauma, actual plot has begun to show up and evil has begun to rear its ugly head. Characterization is spot-on, the new OC is actually likeable, and the storytelling within the fic are for the most part like 93% canon-compliant. WARNING: Some love scenes, some torture scenes, a tiny bit of derp scenes. |

Shattered Heaven is where Archer get transported into a parallel, everyone-is-the-opposite world due to Rin's experiments. So basically things like tyrannical Saber, shy and insecure Gil, actually saintly Kotomine, and evil-mastermind Shirou. Shatteraxia is a sequel of sorts, where the normal and parallel world merge. While they aren't exactly masterpieces of literature, and the fight scenes could be better, they're still fun and interesting to read, mostly for the character interactions. |

The tale of the First Holy Grail War is one closely linked with failure. Though the ritual may not have delivered on its promises of glory and achievement the story of Makar Zolgen, Justeaze Von Einzbern, and the others who fought within it is still worth telling. Emphasizes on thoughtful worldbuilding and meaningful character interaction before the actual War itself begins. |

Due to a chance meeting with Kariya before the events of Fate/Zero, Shinji strives to follow in his uncle's footsteps and save Sakura from damnation of the Matou Clan. To do so, he must make many sacrifices and will endure pain like no other to compete in the next Holy Grail War, including becoming a Spellcaster—all for Sakura's sake. An AU Fate Stay Night story.
Shinji's still a bastard but he limits it to everyone that isn't Sakura. Sacrifices are made. And this isn't a Shinji/Sakura story. It's only 4 chapters old and it seems pretty good. Good!Shinji seems to be the flavor of the month. You could say it's still the same Shinji without the blinding stupidity. |

Fate/Somnium Summer Redux, by Verg Avesta |
Seika, +8Neir, ItsaRandomUsername, Flere821, Spinach, TheMegas, Rafflesiac, Bdoom, NewAgeOfPower
|
A Sixth Holy Grail War (or so it seems), set in Fuyuki with a mix of old and new characters. Much of the detail is obscured by a first-person view, and the author keeps even more from you. Finding out what on Earth's going on is part of the attraction, but it makes for a powerful 'fic alongside strong personalities, good action, and a style best described as 'visual novel without the visuals': not just choices in the manner of a CYOA, but sentence structure, vocabulary and scene construction are all part of the pastiche. Readership has a tendency to vote for any immediately obvious Dead Ends to collect the Tiger Stamps. |
A Stolen Heart, by Aladar |
|
In another time and place Lancer is a hardboiled detective who has seen too many tough days, hard at work trying to get to the truth to a grisly murder case buried beneath a muck of lies and corruption.

Kelnish, +5KooriRenchu, burningclaw2, ItsaRandomUsername, Servant Shiki, Magus
|
A retelling of Code Geass with a few elements of the Nasuverse, not the whole system mind you, tossed in for funsies. Milly Ashford get's ascended to not a background character which is always a plus in my book. The parallels between some of the servants and the characters that are, for lack of a better term, mimicking them are pretty compelling. Namely Suzaku and Lelouch. It's a fun ride that has a fairly satisfying end. Not the most serious of stories. Important to note that most of the nasu elements are twisted to match the story rather than the story being molded to fit the elements. Complete. |

"Think of it this way, Master. The thought that you may not be the person you thought you were your entire life…it is a very disturbing concept, isn't it?" Fate/Zero AU where the Masters and Servants switch roles. There are some further changes from canon, but they get explained before the story starts, so you aren't flying blind. |
Fate/Extra: The Midnight Sea, by Xyphos |
|
The Moon Cell. Host to 417 Masters vying for a wish in a tourney where only one may be granted. From the start, a Master with fragmented memories and no wish is thrown into the fray. How to survive against, or work alongside other Masters are not his only problems however, when even the system itself threatens to go haywire in this Holy Grail War. |
Dual Wielding, by Thrythlind |
|
In the aftermath of the Fourth Grail War, a Servant was left behind in the world of mortal men. Ten years later, when the Fifth Grail War begins this has a profound impact on what is to come for Shirou Emiya.
Shirou enters the Fifth Grail War with two Servants--a flirtatious knight and a severe swordswoman (one of whom is the anomalous eighth Servant) who are eerily similar yet worlds apart. You would think he has this war won, but a combination of a changed up Servant roster, justified paranoia and two Servants who mix about as well as oil and water have already started undermining his chances. The Grail War has just begun, and it's already going off the rails. |
Robot Nasu Season 1, Season 2, by various authors |
Flere821, +3ItsaRandomUsername, Elf, TheInfamousMan
|
The Nasuverse, as comedy skits. Great humor, if they don't go over your head. |
Stitches, by Farmer Kyle |
|
For a history project, Ichigo travels to Fuyuki City to gather local information after an awry Hollow attack destroys the school. He heads to Ryuudou Temple to learn of its history, only to stumble into a secret war that has been waged for almost two centuries. This is the story of a boy trying to find his place in the world, and the girl who stitches the pieces back together. |
Fate: Zero Eos, by Mr. Sparkles |
Sylentnight, +3Rodyle, ItsaRandomUsername, NewAgeOfPower
|
A story of the Second Pacific War, and a story of the Fourth Holy Grail War. One man's search for meaning and one man's search for his ideals in the midst of the Britannian invasion of Japan. The prequel to Fate/Nightmare Apatheia. Rated T for some violence.
Warnings: It's a bit OC heavy and it does take a while for the two stories to interact with each other, but other than that I really consider it a great story. |
Saturday Morning Grail War, by VelsperTheCat |
|
The Yggdramillenia have successfully stolen the Grail from Fuyuki, and with it they have reshaped civilization. Welcome to Heaven's Fall, broadcasted live throughout the world! |
Fate/Twilight, by moguera |
|
Just before the 4th Grail War, an OC magus decides he isn't having a serial killer accidentally summon a Servant. He gets rid of Mr. Cool and accidentally gets branded the master of Caster. However, his Servant, instead of being a Heroic Spirit, is a rather confused Unicorn by the name of Twilight Sparkle.
What follows is a well written story that keeps everyone on the Fate side of things perfectly in character and doesn't compromise the feel of the original show. The differences start small and end up changing things in a meaningful way, and neither Twilight Sparkle or her OC Master are horribly written or overpowered (quite the opposite, really, as all he wants to do is perv on the War, and she just wants to get off this crazy planet full of horrible people killing each other). I definitely recommend it if you're the kind of insane person who manages to be a fan of both My Little Pony and Fate/Zero. |
Timeline of Fate, by TypeMoonFreak |
|
Shirou gets sent back to the time of King Arturia and becomes a knight of the round table.
It's been deleted from FFn. |
Eternal Geass Moon: The Garden of Sinners, by Alfheimwanderer |
Kelnish, +2ItsaRandomUsername, mangafreak7793
|
The supernatural elements of Code Geass are totally replaced with Nasu's schtick with some fudging to make it work. Fucking everyone is ported over too. You've got Mana Ryougi pretty much being her mum, Milly Ashford as a Rin analogue, Archer style Ilya, Zelretch that isn't awful lolItrollyou, military efficient Enforcers, and about a bazillion other things. Dead Apostles Ancestors, Magicians, Knightmares, international politics, ESPers, and all kinds of other diverse elements from the involved franchises are brought together into a very enjoyable story. The sheer amount of stuff going on can be overwhelming, and sometimes the elements crash together instead of flowing with the story. And it hasn't been updated in roughly one forever. |
Beyond Emptiness, by Chacho |
|
Technically a Touko/Ryougi shipfic, but also happens to have the best-written Touko on the board - worth reading solely for that. |
Phantoms, by Burnout |
|
The Sixth Holy Grail War has begun. For Ichiro Tanaka, the protege and adopted son of Emiya Shirou, the Heaven's Feel is more - much more - than the chance to claim the Fifth Magic for the Association: It's his only chance to save his soul. WARNING: Heavy on the OCs. Also dark stuff. Like cannibalism |
Vajra, by Old Iron (+ Santo) |
|
Fate Testarossa Emiya had never before thought she could have a father as wonderful as Emiya Shirou. Fate Testarossa raised by post-UBW Good Shirou. Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Crossover. |
Even if I'm not your regular hero, I'm still trying to save people!, by VelsperTheCat |
Kyte, +2Kirby, ItsaRandomUsername
|
In a world where superheroes are the order of the day, someone accidentally stumbles onto Kiritsugu's legacy. Will he be able to shoulder the responsibility? |
A Witch's Tale of the Fourth Holy Grail War, by Rodyle |
|
During the Fourth Holy Grail War, Uryuu Ryuunosuke, 'hobbyist' Extraordinaire, went about his summoning a little differently than in canon. This brings a different Caster candidate into the Grail War with a similar 'hobby', Beatrice the Golden, Witch of Rokkenjima. How will their differing styles of the art of mass murder turn their relationship? And how will the other participants of the war deal with this new Servant as she does as she is wont to do?
It most probably won't go anywhere, because Rodyle can't finish a fic to save his life. |
Schrödinger's Sisters, by AnimaDisciple |
|
Schrödinger's Sisters has Tokiomi seriously regard Sakura's Imaginary Numbers affinity and send Rin as the Matou apprentice instead (which means Sakura stays a Tohsaka). She has an entirely different breakdown to Sakura, in which she tries to keep vigil before realizing she wasn't learning magic and after her only hope of leaving (Kariya) is gone, she becomes a LOT more violent and irritable, quickly putting Shinji in his place. She still greatly cares for Sakura though, and keeps a distance with the reminder that they're not sisters anymore. |
The Laughing Master, by Leo Novum |
pulsor93, +2Kishou the Badger, TheInfamousMan
|
This entire problem started because I was barmy enough to accept a job offer from an Einzbern. Trust me, never trust a German when it comes to magical problems.
Or to put it more simply, John Constantine is hired to obtain Avalon for the Einzberns, only to wind up becoming Master of Saber himself. John is written as in-character as you can get, and how this will affect the 4th Holy Grail War are only beginning to be felt. |
Inaccurate Legends, by Midnak |
|
A war fought between characters from Arthurian legend. Monty Python's one. Yes, including our dear Arthur(ia). It's about as silly as you'd expect. |
Fate Alternate Routes, by traingham |
|
Meet Emiya Shirou, self proclaimed superhero and a ladies man, despite not knowing it himself. These are the untold stories of his affairs with the dangerous women who live under the same roof with him. WARNING: NSFW in parts. |
Fate/Second Killer, by NamesAreHardToComeUpWith |
|
What if Kiritsugu's enemies catch up to him, and he and Shirou are force to go on the run? What if he decides to teach Shirou everything he know's and Shirou goes on to become the second Magus Killer? Deadfic. |
Daughter of Shinigami, by O. Hakubi |
|
Satsuki Arima is very much her parents' daughter. She looks like her mother, renowned fashion model Arcueid Brunestud, and has her father's love of knives. And because she's her parents' daughter, when she starts having visions of a vampiric murderer who's killing people, she just has to investigate - if only to prove to herself that she didn't do it. |
Where Shadows Run From Themselves, by OldManDempsey |
|
Another noir-eqsue tale from the author of "Heaven's Side Story," this one returns to the theme of the magical world crossing over into the mundane one and the consequences for both sides, but in this case more from the emotional perspective. A supernatural murder leads Rin and Mikey into a story of tragedy, guilt, and misplaced vengeance. |
Echoes of the Void, by AlfheimWanderer |
|
Scorned as "the Zero", Louise de la Vallière has never cast a successful spell in her life. With the Familiar Summoning Ritual her last hope to prove herself a mage, what will result when she summons someone else inextricably linked to the void?
Yet another Zero no Tsukamia crossover, this time starring Mana Ryougi. It makes use of some interesting creative liberties, such as the nature of demon hunters on the ZnT side, as well as some very violent encounters early in the story that explore Halkeginian politics. Great character relationships and development, and while perhaps not as fun as Hill of Swords, it is of higher literary value. |
Sword Vector, by fallacies |
|
In an antique land at the border of the Apocalypse, Emiya journeys to seek the Sword of Beginnings. The vectors toward the Land of Steel align, and the stage for a final confrontation is set. Kind of a crossover between FSN, the greater Type-Moon world, and Notes, and inspired in Velsper's Eureka. Goes in depth with the world-building, with strong research, but high on the verbosity.
Might be the first author to claim Shirou is a Libertarian. Right or wrong, it's food for though. |
Memories of a King, by Polly |
|
A story about King Arthur and her life back in Camelot, and how Nasu's one simple change altered the myth of King Arthur. |
Seriously Heroic Quest for the Holy Grail, by Anonymous |
Mattias, +2Rafflesiac, Fan_Fic_Reader
|
"So, what if Type Moon was a JRPG, one that stuck to the rules and tropes of those kinds of games, although in its own unique fashion. What if the plot of it all was plainly evident to one person, while everyone else tried to fight the forces of darkness?"
A RPG parody Starring Shirou an his erstwhile sidekick Shiki Ryougi, as they try to avenge the "destruction" of their village, against the "evil" empire of Sakura and Rider. Where the entire cast is as competent a JRPG character as they are combatants in a magical deathmatch. |
Fate:covenant apotheosis, by Heavy Valor |
|
Fate:Covenant Apotheosis is actually a remake/rewrite of Heavy Valor's Nightmare Apatheia.
Valor decides to write the beginning before all the action happens, and allows us to fully see the friendship between Shirou and Lelouch as well meaning friends who happen to bicker on their different beliefs. It allows Shirou to understand that there's more to heroism than black and white, for starters. |
Souls of Heroes, by LD 1449 |
|
Demon's Souls crossover. A divergence of Fate route just before Archer gets killed vs Berserker. Things HappenTM and Shirou, Rin and Saber are now stuck in Boletaria, fighting to survive and return to Fuyuki. And there's no respawns for them. |
Promises of a Wandering Hero, by Neoalfa |
|
Shirou Emiya, whilst travelling back from London, meets a certain grandmother who is keeps calling him Keitaro... and out of his kind heart, he obliges to DNA testing... He is, indeed, her grandson. |
TOUEI, by Cascade |
|
Following the Sixth Holy Grail War, Takara Aozaki heads off to university, where she meets a very strange and stubborn boy named Kira. And as if she needed more irritation than that, the pair soon encounters an enemy that Takara can't kill - and Kira nearly is killed, saving her life. Now the pair of them are indebted to a mysterious magus, who has errands for them to run . . . It's almost enough to make her nostalgic for the Grail War - at least she knew what was going on, then. |
Fate/Another World, by /a/nonymous magica |
|
Fate/another world is a CYOA about two teams that summon Servants, or rather Heroic Spirits to do battle for the Grail. This was caused from a mishap in the War before it. The story focuses on two protagonists, the Master of Red Saber and the Master of Black Lancer. Check it for daily updates and a chance to participate in the story! |
The Price of Survival, by PhoenixAct |
|
FSN meets Battle Royal as the Shirou and the rest of the students from his class are kidnapped and forced to kill each other on an isolated island in a fight for survival. But the kidnappers may have gotten more than they bargained for with Rin and Shirou in the mix. |
Shattered Blade, by DrakeBalkyr |
|
After several years of traveling the world's battlefields, Enforcer Shirou Emiya finds himself in Shin Tokyo. Leave it to a man with E ranked luck to go on vacation and end up trapped in yet another battle royal between magical beings. Inspired by Gabriel Blessing's In Flight.
Shirou does not replace Minato, but is rather his older brother. Also featuring more interaction between Shirou, Karasuba and Takami and less harem and exposition. |
Nails, by Tacks |
|
Tohsaka Rin, an ambitious and strong willed young magus of 23, travels to Valencia, Spain, to participate in the Fifth Grail War. There she attempts to summon Saber but instead finds herself in command of...Berserker?
Characters seem to veer off to left field, but the story in itself is solid and the characters are consistent once you get parts the initial shock. |
Infinite Swords, by DaGunth |
|
Emiya Shirou can instantly understand any weapon he sees. An IS is most certainly a weapon. What will happen when the amateur mage is thrust into the futuristic world of the IS Academy?
Starts off a bit rough, but improves with time, and doesn't wank Shirou. |
Steadfast, by Bard Linn |
|
An alternate universe of Gabriel Blessing's In Flight. "We promised to stand beside you. Do not push us away now." [Diverges after chapter 38, Rin, Saber, Shirou centric.]
Instead of pushing away Rin and Saber, the authors make sure that they are included in the plot and make an effort to develop the Sekirei cast along Shirou and Saber, they also add a feasible reason as of why Shirou acts like a mini Kiritsugu sans with a lot more morals, he was more or less brainwashed. |
A New Hero in a New Land, by Verdalt1 |
|
A land where Magic is not secluded, a land where Dragons and mystical creatures still exist. In another world lies a lone hero who strive for the happiness of everyone. Fate seems to work on the strangest of ways... then again, a hero's duty is never done, right? Fairy Tail crossover.
Post UBW Good, Shirou dies after disproving that you cannot save everybody at his death the Throne accepts him as a hero and is summoned by Zeref to Earthland Zeref wish is to be killed be either Shirou who is an Heroic spirit and in Zeref mind an HS has a good chance of doing that or help Natsu to do it. |
Fate: FINAL, by Vegeta the 3rd |
|
"The 50 Year War" has passed, but another war is on the brink of horizon. To those that know only of the battle for regents, it will be known as the "War of the Lions". For the selective few Summoners, their comrades, and the Zodiac Braves...it will be known as "The Holy Grail War". |
Servant of Zero, by Mazuku Torai'nu |
|
A ZnT cross where Louise summons Archer. The actual Counter Guardian Archer, that is. Definitely not an offshoot of GB, Louise isn't TSUNRAGE ALL DAY ERRY DAY and Archer is calm, analytic and not a sociopath (or Shirou 2.0). Worth trying out. |
Loser's Bracket, by Fallacies |
|
A Fate/Index crossover, in which Saber wins the Grail War and wishes for a Shirou to witness a world where she was never king, transporting him to the Index-verse.
So far, it's been pretty entertaining, and it's probably the only good Fate/Index crossover yet. Good fights, fun dialogue, and a genuinely interesting and compelling plot, especially because of the manner in which Shirou was transported to the other verse. Plus, all the meshing of mechanics of both sides seems to be pretty well thought out. |

Tokiomi Tohsaka summons Goddess Madoka, and from there the ripples just keep happening. Maybe she can give Kirei the answers he seeks. |
