Ja vol!
I'm not a great summary person. I'll get together with Kieran and maybe the writers and toss something up in a few days. Gotta at least read Destined Legacies while I'm at it. These Takara fics just get my head all turned around.
Off to the races!

I don't trust RB, he probably would even sleep with one of the judges!

these both sound terrible
TOUEI:
We don't need no plot, let the motherfucker TRAVELOGUE (this goes on for six paragraphs or so, just for reference.)Akitaka was not a large city, but a new one. In an entirely different area of Misaki's prefecture, it had a temperate climate and a wide coastal basin to work with, as well an almost perfectly circular urban area.
TOUEI:
Genetics!The family name she’d taken upon herself was Aozaki. There was no need for the instincts of a sublime killer inside her mind anymore.
Daughter of Shinigami:
She looked the box over with a puzzled expression before lifting up the top, and immediately her eyes lit up: Inside was an exquisitely crafted teardrop-shaped switchblade knife, an intricate swirling pattern of turquoise inlaid into the gleaming steel handle."Oh, wow! This is the greatest gift ever!" Once again hugging her mother tightly, she skipped off towards her room to revel in her new gift.
Arcueid shook her head as she went back to reading. "You really are your father's child..."
I know that I always remember the time my hot date cut shit into a million pieces then was super afraid because "Holy shit how did I do that"

[01:05.15] <@Spinach> I can flash gang signs faster than Sasuke can perform ninjutsu and I rap like Medea's High Speed Divine Words.
With the release of Gabriel Blessing's most recent chapter (#36) of In Flight, I hereby give that fic a ( -1 ) de-recommendation. It was bad, and he should feel bad for butchering UBW!Shirou's character this badly. Before it was just "has some divergence from the canon character that's not fully explained", but now it has entered the territory of "what is this fuckery?!". If there are changes, or so-called "character development", it should be shown before the character pulls off crazy OOC stuff like in Ch36 of IF. Forget MoS!Shirou or even Archer, IF!ShirouMC has gone so far beyond what Shirou stood for I can't even call this a Nasuverse fic anymore.
I don't hate the SoL bits of IF, with the most I have felt being a bit bored of those, and with the most recent events I feel more of those might have been preferable to the action/'serious' stuff finally starting. Finally kicking off events is good, but when the events aren't up to standard it's disappointing. Too much characters, introducing them and then sends them off-setting because he couldn't deal with the interactions. Might have been better if he said "screw canon" earlier and didn't give Shirou Minato's canon flock. It's good GB knows when is too much and attempts to salvage it by sending characters away however.
I'm not that focused on Nasuverse lore/mechanics, so GB messing those up isn't too annoying to me. Additionally, my belief is 'canon exists to be changed for the sake of making a good story'. However, his (not wholly unjustified, but somewhat unreasonable) enmity and flaming towards people that wants to correct him is a point against his writing (see here for example, post #211, #216, and #237). When a writer collapses into that level I believe it's a lost cause to even raise suggestions.
tl;dr - In Flight is something I would not recommend to people because of long SoL scenes, a poor grasp of canon material, OOC for 'Shirou', and little hope of improvement as the fic is written. It does have its good points, such as good humour in places and decent fight scenes, but for every part of those there is probably three parts of SoL or (possibly inaccurate) infodump.
I'm also have to derec ( -1 ) In Flight, for the same reason's as above. Any hope I had that GB will turn it around is now crushed.
On a more positve note, I'm going to recommend ( +1 ) Promises of a Wandering Hero. The only problems I can see with it is that the author isn't a native English speaker, and two of the girls (Naru and Motoko) are acting harsher then canon, Motoko especially. However, the author has stated on his FF forum thread that chapter 10 will (partially?) explain Motoko's hatred on men, and has confirmed that it has something to do with the Inversion Impulse. Also, Tsuruko is apparently not married in this story.....
-1 to In flight. Well, I had the faintest hope for this story when it was still just beginning. It looked fun, even though I hesitated when I saw it was crossed with Sekirei( a mindless Harem manga with a terrible MC and plot). Then GB squashed that hope with his endless infodump, purple padding, OOC Shirou, and boring SoL. I guess this story would have worked out better, if, and only if, it was MoS Shirou and not UBW Shirou.
If it's as become as bad as everyone's said its become then I'm glad that didn't read it fully.
No offense intended to Blessing though.
NASUVERSE STAMPEDE!!!
I'm not going to actually downvote IF, but I'd like my rec removed.
'k. I'm linking the previous post though so you might wanna merge the two. Also jeez dude it's just a summary couldn't you've done it yourself.
I feel like I should question the validity of your reccing but what the shit I'll add it.

Also updated everything else. Jesus god Gabe what the hell.
+1 to Promises of a Wandering Hero.
+1 to Path of the King.
