Good man.

Pssshhh, ZoukenxShirou is the best.
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.
Eclipse.
A dive into the mind of Dark Sakura and Saber Alter. An interesting piece exploiting similar contrasts, still lurking feelings and cold logic both girls have to face. Saber fall into despair as Sakura rise in exhilaration. The dynamic is interesting. Sakura struggling to maintain her composure before the darkened servant. The Servant composure being rendered fragile for an instant. At the heart of their relationship is Shirou, the one element still able to make both react emotionally. It's subtle, but it fits very nicely.
Would read more. +1

I think you'll need a better summary

I'll type one when I'll be less drunk. For now;SHUT UP AND GO.
Don't kill me Kyte.
Fine, I will do it.
+1 to Eclipse by Polly, a one shot that delves into Dark Sakura and Saber Alter's character as the two wait for the inevitable end to the Heaven's Feel.
He never sleeps. He never dies.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.
+1 for Eclipse.
+1 for Eclipse, -1 for doing something I wanted to do, fragstealer.
Localizationing stuff
I'll write an actual review for Eclipse, by Polly.
Eclipse is written as a sort of Heaven's Feel missing scene- we've never seen significant Saber Alter/Sakura interactions in Heaven's Feel, but we have seen tons of Rider/Sakura interactions. In Eclipse, Polly attempts to characterize the transformation Saber has undergone- not physically, but her motives, reasoning, logic, raison d'etre.
Without spoiling anything, I have to say this feels really inspired by Arashi's Sever and Bind- which is a great thing. In Eclipse, Saber's thoughts and new modes of logic are expressed in a subtle manner, and the reader can really appreciate the way Polly never comes out and says why Saber Alter does what she is doing.
Yeah, if you can't tell, this is a +1, Kyte.
If you can dreamand not make dreams your master;
If you can thinkand not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster;
And treat those two impostors just the same,

+1 to Eclipse, Sever and Bind, Battle Continuation, Lancer gets serious, and Chaos Theory.
Yes, I can't tell because I'm both blind and stupid.
Good to know.

Wait. That's Kyte? His avatar doesn't fit at all.

So Leo told me. Then again, Neco-Sun and Roastbeef w/ Neco were happy avatars too.

I think they mean the Sekirei crossover.

I should ask for a Lemon Rating for lemon fics. Pure smut is 5/5, this one would be like 1/5.
1/5: It's garnishing, really.
2/5: Scenes here and there, but you can skip'em fine.
3/5: The topic pops up repeatedly.
4/5: Sex plays a significant part of the story and context, you can't skip it.
5/5: It's porn. Might have plot.
Opinions?
I think that might not be a good idea. Getting the forum to agree on a +/-/0 rating is hard enough. Adding a five point scale to that would make adding any kind of rating a chore.
Oh right I'd heard of Soul of Fire before. I'm kinda surprised nobody's recced it before.

It's not a measure of quality, but rather how lemony the story is. Mostly 'cause right now I'm tossing them all into the lemon bucket and that's kinda unfair when you compare, say, Empty Attachment and Rin Messed Up.
