There used to be a confession?
Yeah, the chapter's better without one.
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,

It was bad. Especially the whole "Set up death flag and immediately die" thing. It wouldn't have been quite as bad if she'd confessed earlier in the chapter, but as it was, it was too much. I'm glad he changed it.
ayup. thought it was too 'unsynced', so too speak, with the rest of the chapter.
I also noticed that he changed the scene where Zolgen reveals himself. No more 'Ask Three times' shit.
There were complaints that OS and Ita weren't genre savvy after all.
This version is much better over all.
Might be a bit early, but +1 to Fight/Knight by Tobias.
A Fate AU revolving around boxing where the Grail Wars are tournaments, the Servants are boxers, and the Masters are managers. Shirou is the manager of the debt-ridden Emiya Gym, and Saber is a boxer fighting for her lost honor. Together, they stake everything on winning the no-rules King of Boxers tournament.
It's an entertaining story. Not too serious, a bit cheesy at times, but it's the good kind of cheesy. Plus the writing is quite well-done, the characters are still all in-character despite the lack of magical elements, the fights are great*, and it's just overall fun to read.
*I know nothing about boxing, so I can't judge on realism

"It's the first day of the rest of her life with the King of Heroes." Immediately post CCC, Gilgamesh route. Gilgamesh affirms to be Hakuno's sword in a final oath, Hakuno sees right through Gilgamesh's tsun act, and not much else happens. Slice of life.
It has what may be the best Gilgamesh I've ever read on fanfiction.net. A little internal monologue heavy, set from Hakuno's perspective, but is short, sweet, and my personal headcanon for Gilgamesh's after route.
It also has the distinction of possibly being the only CCC fic in existence to realize that actual romance with Gilgamesh isn't happening.

Bullying. The true core of the Gilgamesh-Hakuno relationship.
But seriously it's 4300 words. Reading it is probably faster than asking about it and waiting for a reply.

Reshuffle by Zalgo Jenkins
Shinji (our protagonist) is the elder, magically gifted son of Tokiomi Tohsaka. But not quite as gifted as his little sister Sakura. So his father pawned him off on Zouken Matou, who'd been stuck with no heir but his talentless granddaughter Rin. Worms ensued. Or in other words, Rin and Shinji swap places and then Shinji becomes Sakura. And then the Holy Grail War happens. Only one chapter in, but the variant sibling relationships make this interesting, as does Shinji in the Sakura role, still something of a dick like his canon self but considerably more proactive than Sakura was in his own destiny (and considerably less impressed with Emiya Shirou).
Quotes & Stuff...No, no stuff, just quotes
That reminds me of another recent story with a Rin-Shinji sibling dynamic, but still very different. 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. She quickly puts Shinji in his place and is usually the "Man" of their sleeping arrangements. She still greatly cares for Sakura though, and again keeps a distance from her with the reminder that they're not sisters anymore, but she does it for Sakura's own safety. And also plans to arrange her to hook up with a certain janitor.
That's pretty much the first chapter from what I've read.
