Recommended Type-Moon Fanfics Discussion II: Electric Boogaloo

**Kyte** · November 24th, 2012, 04:44 PM

What I need to add a new story to the Index:

Link to the story.
Story name
A positive review of your own.
Plot synopsis. If your review gives the synopsis I can work with that. It must give the casual reader an idea of what's the fic about, hopefully in two lines, or so. About two tweets in length.

Arashi made a Guide to Things Japan. You might wanna read it.

Color Guide: Good, Neutral, Bad

No asking for stuff you should be doing yourself. If the problem can be solved by spending a minute looking through the index then you shouldn't be asking. Do it too much and I'll just label you stupid and ignore your posts here.

The old recommendation thread. It might have recs to good but no longer updated fics. It's kind of hell to go through, though.

Long Stories

Chaos Theory, by Moczo (FF.net)	ItsaRandomUsername, IhaxlikeNoob, Imperial, Seika, Riven, TheMegas, Hymn of Ragnarok, +42
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.
Tainted Ideals, by Stormedge (FF.net)	Sylentnight, IhaxlikeNoob, Imperial, Riven, kay4today, Hymn of Ragnarok, +28
In the fire that ravaged Fuyuki city, it was not Emiya Kiritsugu who saved the life of a young Shirou, but the tainted grail itself. WARNING: Kotomine Shirou
Postnuptial Disagreements, by Zalgo Jenkins (BL link)	ItsaRandomUsername, Seika, DezoPenguin, Riven, Hymn of Ragnarok, curtis mancannon, +18, Lunaludus Scribex
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.
The Hill of Swords, by Gabriel Blessing	Kelnish, Arashi_Leonhart, Riven, +21, Muramasa, Elf
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.
Lancer Gets Serious, by Bloble (FF.net)	IhaxlikeNoob, Five_X, Daiki, +21
Kotomine Kirei is bored, and so decides to mix it up a bit, namely in the form of a command spell ordering the Hound of Ulster to use his full power for the duration of the Holy Grail War; a new path awaits the participants. WARNING: SpoilerSakura dies. Completed at last.
Fate/Night Sky, by fraggle	Riven, Flere821, +19
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.
Fate/Revelation Online, by Daniel Gudman	core_88, YeOfLittleFaith, Ergast, Epiren, Muramasa, alguLoD, Mooncake, Kirby, Lunaludus Scribex, Duncan Idaho, +12
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.
Remember, by GoldenLark (SB thread)	Lunaludus, kay4today, Seika, Bridgeburner90, +18
Tohsaka Tokiomi, in true family fashion, inadvertently uses a certain pendant in summoning his Servant, and consequently gets a different Archer than the one he was expecting. (Hint: It's Emiya doing Emiya things)
Eureka! or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love Structural Analysis, by VelsperTheCat	Sylentnight, Imperial, Bridgeburner90, Bdoom, +18
In which Shirou tries to solve magic with engineering, ends up with Frankenstein's Loli Monster. It's two years before the Holy Grail War, how is he supposed to deal with a Servant already? WARNING: You may end up liking Shinji.
Shinderella, by RadiantBeam and Moczo	KAIZA, Riven, Hymn of Ragnarok, +15
The cast of Fate/stay night stars in a production of Cinderella, with Shinji in the titular role. A Tiger Dojo production, brought to you by a FLOW OF GENIUS. Hilarity and madness ensues.
I Put On My Robe and Wizard Hat, by VelsperTheCat	Sylentnight, Arashi, +15
On the eve of the Fourth Grail War, several parties decide to change their battle plans. Now Shirou Urobuchi must try to survive in a world of Magi. He will do it for the lawls. WARNING: Massive crack. Of the good kind, really.
Maybe I'm a Lion, by Dullahan	Leo, IhaxlikeNoob, Seika, +14
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. Lio's monologues and dialogues are comedy gold, and the rest is no slouch either. Recently broke the half-million words! (And yet it's in part 2 of 6)
For Want of a Relic, by f0xh0undvix3n	Misheard, Kelnish, +15
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.
Tomb of the Sun God, by Bloble	Pata Hikari, Imperial, Five_X, Kirby, Hymn of Ragnarok, Siriel, +12
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.
The World Without, by Lunaludus Scribex	Elf, Seika, kay4today, +14
Tiger Dojo 1 AU/continuation. One refusal does not end the story...nor one casualty, the battles. Even without Emiya Shirou, the Grail War goes on. WARNING: Dead Shirou. Tempers flared and Shirou lost his head.
Path of the King, by Neoalfa	IhaxlikeNoob, ~~Bridgeburner90~~, Bridgeburner90, Pata Hikari, Lunaludus Scribex, TheMegas, +13
With swords that aren't yours, with skills that aren't yours, for dreams that aren't yours. Your entire existence is a lie!" - "Then I'll show you that even fake dreams can become reality." A different choice, a different path, a different FATE. A story about a Shirou who sought to make a difference earlier than his counterparts. He's already using his twenty-seven circuits and is training himself to become an 'Ally of Justice', subsequently fighting crime in Fuyuki city, and in the process taking on the mantle of a vigilante known as "Archer"
Want and Need, by Kiiam (FF.net)	Knick, TheInfamousMan, +12
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. AU take on the 4th HGW with all new servants and some different variants of servants you already know.
The Hearts of the Suffering (FF.net), by Arashi_Leonheart	Imperial, Kirby, Siriel, Christemo, +10
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. Good characterization and distinctive voices for everyone make it an enjoyable read.
From Azure to Zero, by Siriel	mAc Chaos, Epiren, Duncan Idaho, ItsaRandomUsername, Christemo, +9
A crossover of the 4th Holy Grail War with BlazBlue, as a certain awkward and clumsy girl from the NOL ends up as Kiritsugu's Servant. Fortunately for readers, it bothers to show characters interacting and reacting. Complete!
Fight/Knight, by Tobias	Kirby, Rafflesiac, Siriel, Vagrant, +10
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.
Untouchable, by I3uster	Five_X, +12
Not everyone can be a main character. Some people are just Enforcers. These are their stories. WARNING: It's like 90% OCs.
The Thirteenth Labor, by ExistentialBeliever	Kishou the Badger, +12
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.
The Hound and the Blacksmith, by Elf	Raven2785, Imperial, +10
One's a Celtic demi-god with a lust for battle and the ladies, the other is a former Counter Guardian who's body is made of swords. Together they fight the forces of evil. Or something.
Escaping Fate, by Arashi Leonhart	ItsaRandomUsername, Pata Hikari, +10
A post-Fate story that chronicles Shirou and his friend's life as they save a young girl who was a victim of magus experiments. 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.
To Tame a Magus, by Bloble	Kirby, Ergast, +10
A ZnT/FSN Crossover. You know how most ZnT fics have Louise summon Awesome Familiar #7? Not here. Behold, Louise's new familiar: Shinji Matou, in all his Shinjirific glory.
The Three T's of Victory, by Alulim (FF.net)	KAIZA, +11
Terror: Something that must be overcome to be victorious. Triumph: When you attain victory there is nothing else. Trap: Umm, something to watch out for...? Shirou, please be careful. Shirou summons Rider Astolfo as his Servant.
Steel and Cherry Blossoms, by Elf	Raven2785, +10
After a wish is made for a perfect world, there is someone who still needs to be helped. if only there was a fallen hero with a complex for saving people to call for. Archer/Sakura, but Archer and Rider have good chemistry. Too bad the fic's pretty much dead.
The Xth Loop: Sword & Stilled Time, by ItsaRandomUsername (FF.net)	Sylentnight, Arashi_Leonhart, +8
How many times had Homura Akemi failed to save Madoka Kaname? Too many times. But what are these things known as Counter Guardians? What happens when she somehow contracts with one? With this unexpected ally, do they have a chance to set it all right? Madoka Magica crossover. Updates slowly.
Life is an Endless Dream, by Pata Hikari	KAIZA, Lunaludus Scribex, +8
In one universe, Tohsaka Rin ended up following the same path as Archer, becoming a twisted Heoric Spirit. What happens if, when, in another universe, she gets summoned as a Servant? Rewrite of "Endless Dream"
Shattered Heaven & Shatteraxia, by Tesculpture	Kirby, Elf, +8
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.
Mahou Senki: Lyrical Days, by Heroslayer (FF.net)	Sylentnight, Muramasa, Riven, +11
The wheel of fate is derailed as Emiya Shirou is brought up in Uminari City. Watch the birth of a Magical Hero as the boy with a body of swords meets the White Devil. Lyrical Nanoha crossover. Not to be confused with Lyrical Days, fraggle's retake on the topic.
Saint Of Zero, by SatireSwift	Dragoon, DezoPenguin, Kishou the Badger, ItsaRandomUsername, Hymn of Ragnarok, +5
The Gandalfr is the Shield of God, meant to protect their summoner from harm. Through faith and blade, here was a man that protected the weak from all that would do them harm, and his life ended with no regrets. Though Louise did not mean to summon a Guardian Knight, there were few greater she could have asked for.
Vestigial Mercies, by Zalgo Jenkins	Kyte, TheMegas, +8
Basically a young Kotomine taking the place of Shirou in the fire, gets rescued by Kiritsugu and given away to Risei, grows up as Rin's sort-of-friend sort-of-apprentice, and participates in the Fifth Holy Grail War. Kirei gets Jeanne d'Arc. Rin gets Gilgamesh. Oh yes.
Fate/Genesis, by Verg Avesta	ItsaRandomUsername, +8
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.
Kariya's Legacy, by Born of Prayers	ShadowStorm666, +8
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.
Role Revert, by Pata Hikari	Raven2785, +8
Things look like normal and the Tohno mansion for Shiki, except for... Wait... Why is Akiha waking him up and calling him Shiki-Sama? and where are Hisui and Kohaku? What's going on? This being an AU fic, characters are acting, well, out of character, let's just say you shouldn't expect to see demure Hisui here.
Fate/Somnium Summer Redux, by Verg Avesta	Seika, +8
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	ItsaRandomUsername, Kirby, +7
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. With all of its smarmy writing and grit it definitely reads like an old-school PI novel, and it has its share of twists.
Solenoid Flux, by fallacies	Flere821, +7
On the eve of the 4th War, the Berserker that Matou Kariya summons to his command is instead a boy hero from the End of Days. Evangelion + F/Z crossover, Shinji Ikari summoned as 4th HGW Berserker. Fusion fic between the two settings, with SEELE playing a role in the Moonlit World.
The Manhattan Project II, by Five_X	Mattias, +7
In the 1960s an imitation of the Holy Grail War is created, its purpose to end the Cold War. However, the magi involved have much different agendas... There's no sugarcoating here. Expect war to be ugly.
Prismatic Chaos, by Alyeris (FF.net)	KAIZA, +7
The second magic, the doorway to infinite possibilities. Exposed to it's effects from a young age, the Emiya Shirou that should have been is no more. In his stead is... Emiya Kirika? Why are there two Sabers? What's going on with this grail war!?
Lyrical Days, by fraggle	Flere821, Riven, Lunaludus Scribex, +6
Shirou is born in the flames of Fuyuki City, his soul destroyed and reforged in fire. The boy is burned away and the image of his saviour is seared into his soul, the happiness he sees becoming a dream he will chase for the rest of his life, until one small girl changed everything: "Listen carefully because this is very important..." Nanoha spoke, "...you will be my friend." Fraggle's take on Heroslayer's original idea.
A New Age, by Bloble	IhaxlikeNoob, TheMegas, +6
A mysterious group meets in an unknown location, their subsequent actions ending the current era; and usherring a new Age of Gods to replace it... as well as bringing back heroes of old. WARNING: Currently on hold.
Homunculove, by Mereo Flere	Muramasa, +7
A Prisma Illya-based scenario, where it will mostly focus on how Shirou became accustomed to being part of the Emiya-Einzbern family. Prepare for just an ordinary slice of life story about a cute family doing cute things.
The War of Kings, by Pale Wolf	Kelnish, +6
A Code Geass and Fate fusion. Behind the scenes of the Black Rebellion another war is being fought between magi. The story is mostly focused on the characters of Code Geass, it being 1963 and all, but almost all of the servants are familiar faces. C.C.'s absent, but it's explained in-story. Servants v Mechs, crazy plans, and snarky characters abound! Ongoing. Warning: OCs
What if (Almost) Everybody was Shirou's Servant?, by Mereo Flere (FF.net)	KAIZA, +6
Shirou broke Heaven's Feel by accidentally summoning six servants. It's all slice of life and shenanigans from here. Well, at least until Ilya and Berserker crash the party.
What It Takes to Win, by VoidHerald aka. Kagaseo (FF.net)	Dragoon, ~~Riven~~, Riven, +5
An investigation after the Fourth Fuyuki War led to the disablement of the Grail, and a different goal in life for Shirou. When a new, bigger, illegal war begins, he's forced to face difficult battles: this time, the Grail won't be satisfied until only one Master is left standing.
Fate: Reach Out, by Vegeta the 3rd	TheInfamousMan, burningclaw2, Lunaludus Scribex, Duncan Idaho, +4
A chance decision leads to an unlikely discovery. The mention of a rumor leads to an unbelievable mystery. And the connection to a long forgotten family leads to an unforgettable experience. Welcome to Inaba, Yu Narukami... or should I say Shirou Emiya? (Co-Authored by Nameless Flame Wielder) Manages to keep Shirou's voice, while presenting a possible new path for him.
Fate EMIYA, by darkeldar	NewAgeOfPower, kay4today, Rafflesiac, +4Nephirin, mAc Chaos, TheMegas, Meh
"This is a story of a man, who more than anything else, believed in his ideal, and was betrayed by it, driving him to despair." Another take in an alternate War, except told by Shirou way after the fact.
Lives And Times Of Kaleido Shirou Schweinorg, by Various	YeOfLittleFaith, +5
The life experiences, adventures, and misadventures of Shirou Zelretch Schweinorg through the multiverse. A fun collection of snippets based on the premise of "What if Shirou was raised by Zelretch?", detailing several of his travels. Quality and style varies, but still has some very good writing.
Fate/Re:Trace, by Aladar	ItsaRandomUsername, +5
This is the tale of the Sixth Grail War, a war that was supposed to never happen. The major mage city of the west, Hartcroft, is thrown in chaos as the various factions try to minimize the damage and keep up the masquerade, the Association from Europe tries to use the War to spread their influence to the west, the Church interferes with the hidden agenda to retrieve the new Grail for themselves, Waver Velvet and his disciple Rin Tohsaka arrive in Hartcroft to investigate why there is a War when the Grail should be gone and seven new Masters fight for their dreams in an all-out battle that may not even have a winner. WARNING: This is a Nasuverse original fiction, so like 99% OCs.
FateGeass: The Eden Vital War, by Alfheimwanderer	Kelnish, +5
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.
Evangel Notes, by AlfheimWanderer	ItsaRandomUsername, +4
Evangelion/Angel Notes fusion. Tokyo-3, existing in a soon-to-be Land of Steel, is defended from the failed Archetypes of Gaia sent there by the planet to wipe a pocket of humanity off the map by the Three Children, the first Ether Liners of their kind.
World of the Moon, by pureauthor	Flere821, Chacho, +3Riven, Arashi_Leonhart, DezoPenguin
A series of Tsukihime oneshots, of a variety of genres such as action and humour. The main pairing is Arc + Shiki.
Holding Back The Sea, by Ryuugi (SB thread)	Flere821, +4nitewind, Mattias, rajvir, Rafflesiac
Percy Jackson of 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians'/'Heroes of Olympus' series gets raised to Heroic Spirit status and gets summoned as Berserker in 4th HGW. Haven't been updated for quite a while though.
Fate: Nightmare Apatheia, by Heavy Valor	Sylentnight, +4, Seika
The forefather of Britannia made a contract with the World. A forsaken Prince, a contract with an Immortal. A Hero, a contract with a Servant. This is the story of these eternal bonds, the victories and failures of their promises. Being rewritten as Fate:covenant apotheosis.
Twisted Elysium, by don't take me seriously	camptain_n00b, +4Kyte, kay4today, rajvir, Rafflesiac
"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	TheMegas, Raflesiac, ItsaRandomUsername, +2Fan_Fic_Reader, Magus
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	~~Imperial~~, DezoPenguin, NewAgeOfPower, Imperial, Imperial, Seika, +1rajvir
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	TheInfamousMan, KooriRenchu, Epiren, +2burningclaw2, rajvir
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, +3
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	Kyte, Imperial, +2gwonbush, ItsaRandomUsername
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	Bloble, Kishou the Badger, Ergast, Ergast, +1Renko
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	BlackField, +3Kelnish, rajvir, Gray
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	LeopardBear, +2Aiden, Kyte
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	warellis, Imperial, +1ItsaRandomUsername
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)	YeOfLittleFaith, +2Flere821, rajvir
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	~~KooriRenchuu~~, +2Kyte, Chacho
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	Kishou the Badger, +2rajvir, shiningphoenix
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	Tiresias, +1Kyte
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	warellis, +1Muramasa
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	Sylentnight, +1ShadowStorm666
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	MrTags, +1DezoPenguin
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	DezoPenguin, +1Kelnish
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	Riven, +1DezoPenguin
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	NewAgeOfPower, ItsaRandomUsername, +1Nephirin
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	Daiki, kay4today, +1Mattias
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	Kishou the Badger, rajvir, +2Fan_Fic_Reader, ItaRandomUsername
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	Ergast, Ergast, +1Kelnish
Demon's Souls crossover. A divergence of Fate route just before Archer gets killed vs Berserker. Things Happen^TM 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	NewAgeOfPower, Ergast, Lunaludus Scribex, +2Gore, ShadowStorm666, Fafnir, rajvir
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	MrTags
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	et.requiem
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	mAc Chaos
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	ArcherReborn2, Tiresias
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	Imperial, DezoPenguin
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	Duncan Idaho, YeOfLittleFaith, Kirby
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	Duncan Idaho, Duncan Idaho, Ergast
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	Duncan Idaho
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	absolutezero001
"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	Kirby
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	Kirby
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.

Short Stories

Lunatique, by Moczo	I3uster, Arashi_Leonhart, Hymn of Ragnarok, Polly, +27
Zelretch vs Crimson Moon. So good that some people took it as their canon view of events. Excellently written and it might be the best action piece on BL with engaging dialouge and incredible action scenes. Oneshot length, quickly read, and you won't regret it.
Sick Time, by Moczo	Flere821, +30
Rin catches a cold. In her attempts to fix herself she increasingly worsens the situation, and her condition. The entire story runs on glorious Mozco brand comedy-insanity and exasperated Archer trying to cope with the madness. A must-read.
Went Left, Mind Flayers, by Arashi_Leonhart	Mattias, Ergast, Riven, Pata Hikari, +19
Featuring the Type-Moon side character on their own adventure, with no Main Characters to save them. Arihiko, Satsuki, Nanako, Issei, Shinji and Ayako venture off of a wooded trail one night and run into monsters. Set post-Ciel Route and post-UBW True. Completed!
Debt of a Sword, by Gabriel Blessing	Kelnish, Riven, +16
Shirou inserted into Sekirei. Focuses on Miya, her late husband, and Shirou with the other characters and events of Sekrei in the background. The character interactions are the big appeal. It's a pretty rewarding read and has been heralded as "What In Flight should have been" by some on this forum.
Fletching, by AlfheimWanderer	Raven2785, Riven, Bridgeburner90, +15
In a post-apocaliptic world, can a man wishing to be a hero continue on the right path, or will he become lost like so many before him. Surprise pairing! This one's a side story of Evangel Notes, but reading it is not needed.
Objective: Emiya, by Moczo	Aiden, Riven, Hymn of Ragnarok, +14
A tale of Ilyasviel von Einzbern seeking the attention and affections of her most important person... in the most ineffective of all ways. WTF. Hilariously cracky.
Sever and Bind, by Arashi_Leonhart	NewAgeOfPower, +15
Saber hated Kiritsugu. She hated him for who he was and what he represented. Most of all, she hated him for being so much like herself.
Dear Tohsaka, by Tobias	Raven2785, Arashi_Leonhart, kay4today, +13
Set a few years after the end of UBW, Sakura writes a letter to Rin. There's also a part 2, Dear Emiya and a part 3, Dear Matou. It's sad, bring tissues.
All from a Hospital Bed, by NamesAreHardToComeUpWith (FF.net)	KAIZA, Raven2785, +13
During the events of the Holy Grail War, Shirou takes momentary pauses to visit Ayako Mitsuzuri post-bloodfort. Yet every time he visits, he has changed more and more...
I Am Not There, by Arashi_Leonhart	Sylentnight, Kirby, +12
Nobody knew what happened for sure. The township remembered the storm that had raged through their countryside. He remembered the divine wind of their savior.
Toy Soldiers, by Arhel	Stormwhite, Imperial, Riven, +11
Ten possibilities in a world of infinite choices. Ten short drabbles featuring Shirou and each of the Servants of the Fifth Holy Grail War.
A Study in Velvet, by Zalgo Jenkins	DezoPenguin, Polly, Imperial, +11
A one-shot fair-play murder mystery (magical, natch) set at the Clock Tower and with a post-Fourth War, pre-Lord El-Melloi II Waver Velvet as the protagonist and detective. That by itself is enough to recommend it, but the clues are fairly presented and the glimpse of Clock Tower life entertaining, and Waver's snarky narration is fun.
Eclipse, by Polly	Daiki, mAc Chaos, NewAgeOfPower, Ergast, +9
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.
Death and Justice, by Arashi_Leonhart (FF.net)	IhaxlikeNoob, +11
On board a ship in the Sea of Japan, Kiritsugu Emiya and Kiri Nanaya come across a ceremony of violence. In succeeding their respective missions they inadvertently cause a disaster in the making.
Mirror, Mirror, by Moczo	Flere821, +11
Rin summons FatePrototype!Gilgamesh, meets F/SN Gilgamesh, and the two King of Heroes verbally spar in the typical Moczo-style humour.
Meaning, by Santo	DezoPenguin, Riven, +10
Some demons are born into evil. However, the greatest and most terrifying are those that fall into it. Kotomine Kirei was a man who had all that he ever should have wanted, strength, intellect, a career, a devoted wife, and even a precious daughter. This concise yet powerful oneshot recounts for us his past, his mission, his struggles, and ultimately, his being cast from the one thing he truly needed most by the one enemy he could never defeat, Himself. A very, very good fic of a very hard hitting subject, a man's fall from grace.
Mind of Aluminum (FF.net), by Moczo	DezoPenguin, +11
Rin teams up with Shinji and finds that, amazingly enough, he really has something to offer that will guide her to victory in the Holy Grail War! Because even if it wasn't as funny as hell, any fic that contains the line "… are you suggesting we shoot Shinji out of a catapult to spread disease? Because I can get behind that." should get a rec for that alone.
Chaotic Experience, by Santo	YeOfLittleFaith, Kirby, +9
Shirou has a day off, and Ayako is not going to let him waste it. Fluffy shippy fluff.
What I See, by Arashi Leonhart	Servant Shiki, +9
Rin Tohsaka is presented with caring for a doomed Shiki Tohno. Post-HF True, Post-Arc True.
A Wingman's Woes, by Bloble	DezoPenguin, Daiki, +8
It occurs to a girlfriend-less Arihiko that his best friend lives in a mansion with "three smoking babes" and uses the Power of Friendly Nagging to arrange an introduction. That goes just about as well as anyone but Arihiko would have expected. A bit predictable, but a source of much laughter in the execution.
One Week, by Dullahan	Kirby, ItsaRandomUsername, Mooncake, +6
A KnK crack fic, focusing on Lio, Fujino, and ~~that other ghost girl~~ Kirie Fujou. In an AU world where Araya is a supervillian or something, his lackeys are given on week off for vacation because of supervillian organization regulation reasons. And so commences their story of most definitely not enjoying their beach episodes, featuring Lio and his MIaLy monologues, Fujinon lusting over Azaka's thighs, and Fujou being a drama queen. Special appearances of Arihiko and (the other) Shiki.
The Importance of Proper Communication (FF.net), by Moczo	DezoPenguin, Riven, +7
A funny one-shot about the confrontations in Eps. 14-15 of Fate/Zero, Tokiomi/Kariya and Berserker/Gil. Because Happiness Worms are, surprisingly, not a thing!
Battle Continuation (FF.net), by F-1	Hymn of Ragnarok, Hymn of Ragnarok, Imperial, Ergast, +5
An alternate UBW, where Caster has almost won. Unfortunately, Shirou will not give up. And neither will Lancer. Short and poignant.
Devil's Thrill, by Polly	Kirby, Rafflesiac, +6
Another short-story set in the obscurer reaches of the verse, in which Narbareck hunts (or for now, prepares to hunt) Blackmore. While as of the time of this post the version I posted doesn't have any fights in it yet, Narbareck is still a psycho yet entertaining MC, and the Vatican "politics" are interesting to read about.
If Not Alexander, Then Diogenes, by Megkips	Misheard, Kelnish, YeOfLittleFaith, curtis mancannon, +4
The continuing post-series adventures of Waver Velvet, Lord El-Melloi II etc. A study of mage culture, how dismantling the Grail poses a challenge in bureaucracy more than actual magic, how Waver became a total badass in a world of snobs, how he and older Rin became BFFs, some cool OCs, a detailed description and knowledge of the setting while fleshing out the parts that aren't touched on, and a finding aid. No shipping.
Moonlight on Steel, by RadiantBeam (FF.net)	KAIZA, +6
In which Miyuki follows in Nanoha's footsteps, and Satsuki gets a second chance at life. Tsukihime x Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha crossover (Post-A's, AU)
Tsubame Gaeshi 燕返死 , by VelsperTheCat	ItsaRandomUsername, Kirby, Bloble, +4
An origin story, with a twist, for the wraith who would be Sasaki Kojiro. A young farmer's normal life is permanently flipped upside down for the worst. A fine job setting mood and establishing the period tone of the story. There's also no shortage of horror, both of the psychological and bodily variety. The extended look into the protagonist's psyche as it is rent by hopeless fear and fathomless anger shows well just how sucky it gets to be for mundane peoples in the Nasuverse when the supernatural encroaches on their lives.
Njeri, by Brynhilde aka. Silver Lauzurite	ItsaRandomUsername, Arashi_Leonhart, Bridgeburner90, +4I3uster, Sylentnight, Raven2785, Bloble
Post-/Zero, Pre-/Stay Night oneshot detailing the quest taken by the Einzberns in order to claim the catalyst needed to summon Herakles. But for Illyasviel Von Einzbern and her retainers its not just a journey to seize an item, it is also a journey to discover the self and the true meaning behind purpose. Highly recommended for introspective storytelling, character development, and magus combat that has that Type-MOON sort of oomph. WARNING: Warzone violence.
A Clock Tower Affair, by Bloble	Kyte, ItsaRandomUsername, +5
A whimsy, goofy and just a bit pervy story about Rin, the Clock Tower and survival in an environment where bribery, blackmail and repressed sexual tension are the norm. Has been qualified as "Lemony Snickett at a drug-fueled orgy" and "Douglas Adams on a trip of narcotics and harlequin romance".
Sharkura, by Mereo Flere	Kirby, +6
A dramatic one-shot, detailing Shinji and the start of his descent into darkness, where he must weigh his huma- Nah, just kidding. It's crack. Sakura is a shark.
The Wagtail's Cuckoo, by Syroc	Lycodrake, +6
Cross with Sekirei. This time, Avalon doesn't quite cut it, and Kiritsugu has to take him to the leading medical firm in the world: MBI. A short story about young Shirou adapting to his new life and family. Complete. Not perfect by any means, but very cute.
Anti-Bono, by Zalgo Jenkins	Raven2785, +5
Kotomine Kirei and Emiya Kiritsugu are sworn enemies... in the court of LAW! Featuring Judge Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi. Honestly it's just an opportunity to riff Ace Attorney.
substance.DepenD(Dance), by I3uster	Kirby, +5
A DDD fic, though you don't need to be familar with it to enjoy it. (You should read it anyways) Like a murder mystery, in which Arika and Tomoe investigate a string of murders, involving the yakuza, drug addiction, and demonic possession. The action itself is surreal, trippy, and quite brutal, but the narration is the best part. Tomoe and Arika are witty and entertaining, and the Possessed and drug addicts' narrations are chilling and pretty insane.
Happy Riniversary, by Moczo	Elf, Riven, +4
Post-UBW Good. Rin Tohsaka's first ever anniversary is rapidly approaching, and she has a few big problems. First, how does one get an anniversary present for the King of Knights? Second, if one's chosen present is stolen by one's evil rival from Sweden Finland, how far should one go to get it back? Although perhaps not up to Moczo's absolute best, perhaps due to an excess of Comedically Flanderized Rin as the POV character, it still provides a blizzard of classic deadpan gags and gut-busting lines, a cutely blushing Saber, and Hannah the Would-Be Dentist. At its best, I think, when Rin and Luvia are laying into one another.
In a Ruined Castle, by Icura	ItsaRandomUsername, +4
As the conclusion of Unlimited Blade Works approaches Gilgamesh finds out just whose soul the cycle of reincarnation caused Shirou to end up with, and this knowledge dangerously fuels his obsession with the Faker. For that reason the King now wishes to utterly possess him. Gil/Shirou brofic. No homo.
Twisted/Bended, by Laith	KAIZA, +4
The story of a man who tried to love a woman and a woman who loved the man. That's all there is to this story. Something not often seen in fics, the story of how Kotomine met his wife, their time together, and the tragic end of their love. Another great piece from the Fanfic Contest.
Heaven's Side Story, by OldManDempsey	DezoPenguin, +4
A film-noiresque UF piece in which an OC private eye helps Rin track down a stolen magical item that's leaving a bloody trail through London's conventional underworld. A good, concise story and entertaining narrative voice make for a solid, atmospheric read.
Fragile Thing, by curtis mancannon	ItsaRandomUsername, +4
After suffering tragedy, Tohno Shiki has rejected his name and accepted his violent nature. Now Nanaya Shiki, an assassin-for-hire, he lives up to his growing reputation as the Satsujinki. But karma catches up to him, and with the aid of an alchemist - among other shady figures, he must go down a bloody path of no return to rescue one of the few people in his life that he cares for. The story's prose is brutally visceral, emotionally blunt and raw. Darkly fascinating and uncomfortably human in the way that only front row seats in the mind of a murderously unrepentant psychopath can be. Fragile Thing's actual story has only really just begun, but it can carry itself through technical merit and atmosphere alone. The use of underutilized characters in fanwork such as Sion and would-be Tsuki II characters also helps it in its atypical story.
Faker (part of the Verg Avesta Christmas Special 1), by Verg Avesta	ItsaRandomUsername, I3uster, +3rajvir, Nephirin, Bridgeburner90
Mind of Steel. Mad props to Verg Avesta for not only choosing to write out a Mind of Steel fic, but also making it incredibly awesome and GAR to boot regardless of the inherent grimness of that Bad End. My kind of angst - palpable, but also twinged with hope in spite of it all.
Ad Astra, by violetarcher	Ascarde, +4Siriel, ergast, Rafflesiac, gwonbush
"It's the first day of the rest of her life with the King of Heroes." Follows immediately after CCC's 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. A little internal monologue heavy, set from Hakuno's perspective, but is short and sweet.
Savior, by You	ItsaRandomUsername, +4
You know that guy at the end of Fate/Extra who just shows up all of a sudden and you have to fight? This is his story. This is about the fall of Twice H. Peaceman.
King of Fakers, by deviatesfish	Kirby, Meh, +4
In this war, everybody is a King! Unfortunately, that isn't necessarily a good thing. Viciously, unrepentantly silly.
Jokin' Zouken , by Imperial	Kirby, +5
An alternate HF route, in which Zouken manages to be even more monstrous than before. It's silly. And punny.
King of Heroes, Do You Have Enough Cards?, by Mereo Flere	Kirby, +4
Another short crack one-shot, in which Archer is summoned into another irregular Grail War. This time, battles shall be decided by CHILDREN'S CARD GAMES! No motorcycles, though.
Clipped Wings, by ItsaRandomUsername	Kirby, Imperial, +3Bloble, shiningphoenix, Elf
A one-shot DAA-centric fic, in which Enhance fights Ortenrosse. It's pretty refreshing to read, seeing as how it focuses on the more obscure parts of the Nasuverse. The fight was great, the dialogue entertaining, and overall it's a pretty fun read. Seeing as how this is Enhance, it sorta has a DMC-ish flavor to it.
If Thy Hand Offend Thee, by Mithrigil	Misheard, +3Kyte, YeOfLittleFaith, Kuradora
It's Risei Kotomine centric, and focuses on Kirei growing up and his crises of faith, and Risei's relationship with him as his father. It's good, clocks in at a little over 3000 words, and is worth a read. Brings a perspective many don't think about.
Snow Bunnies, by Arashi Leonheart	Kirby, +3Kyte, Chicago Ted, Bloble
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.
A Tale of Two Shikis, by Mereo Flere	Kyte, +3Renko, Nephirin, Pata Hikari
Arcueid and Shiki go for a stroll. Arcueid gets lost. Arcueid meets Shiki. A cute piece of silly fun that plays with the similarities between Nasu characters.
Alexandriad: The Song of Fire, by SuperGoldenFroggie aka. Froggie aka. Ziodyne	ArcherReborn2, +3Kyte, Leftovers, Kishou the Badger
The Spring-Time Familiar Summoning Ritual summons the being most suitable for the mage. A soul of fire summons forth a soul of fire. The right spark can cause anything to burn. Louise summons Alexander the Great and then the story stopped updating.
The Meaning of Birth, by KotomineArturia	Kelnish, +3ItsaRandomUsername, Neir, Phearo
In a world of magic and mystery, one lone man struggles to fulfill the basic needs of life. It's Kotomine, Gilgamesh, and Lancer out with normal people. The three of them are already ridiculous in the main story, so taking their character dynamics and putting them in the real world is just fantastic.
Magitech and Aqua & Ruby drabbles, by Aiden	Flere821, +3Kyte, Fafnir, Fan_Fic_Reader
Magitech summary: HGW Servants are now giant magitech robots, magecraft's no longer a secret to the world, and a ton of world-building has gone into this. The series contains large amounts of humour and awesome. Aqua and Ruby summary: Altrouge visits Zelretch, runs into Rin, and the two girls eventually becomes friends/lovers with a lot of teasing involved.
Vampire Story, by Bloble	Imperial, +3
Roa reincarnates. This is nothing new. Neither is the host, the immortal castoff and a lot of bodies left along the way. But things are going a bit differently this time around, and a Tohno is trying to pick up the pieces. Bloble takes the Roa tragedy and makes it hurt that much worse. Without giving too much away, he takes a great stab at a potentially darker ending for Tsukihime and plays it out to a logical conclusion. Warning: Bloody. Dark. Titles and pseudonyms instead of names. Bad end for pretty much everyone.
Venom, by I3uster	Bridgeburner90, Rafflesiac, +2DezoPenguin, Guy
A honestly terrifying oneshot in the diary, and mind, of a girl who sees herself on the verge of insanity and has yet no idea why. More could be said about it, but at the risk of spoiling what happens. A definite must-read for anyone who ever enjoyed the Far Side style of literary craziness.
Declassified Files of an Unwitting Demon Hunter, by ItsaRandomUsername	Servant Shiki, +2Raven2785, MrTags
A oneshot of an adventure of Shiki Tohno as Satsujinki, along with an agent of the Burial Agency and his partner.

Kotomine Kirei recites a final prayer before the start of the Fifth Holy Grail War - an insight into his thoughts on religion and the battle that lays ahead.

Canaan x Melty Blood Crossover. Canaan finds herself in China again after the events with Alphard had unfolded some time ago. While experiencing deja vu from past events, Canaan finds herself caught in a battle more supernatural than even her unique talents can call for. Luckily for her Riesbyfe Stridberg is there to help. Author does a nice job capturing Canaan's unique thought patterns and knows a lot about guns. Oh, and Yuri hints of Ries and Sion as well.
Reshuffle, by Zalgo Jenkins	DezoPenguin, +2Kyte, rajvir
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).
Like a King, by ItsaRandomUsername	Fafnir, +2Rafflesiac, Flere821
Gilgamesh applies for a job.LIKE A KING. Lonely Island spoof. (Remember that "Like a Boss" song? Yeah that)
Time Machines Don't Exist, by Mereo Flere	Kirby, +2Kyte, Rafflesiac

Killing Eyes and Faerie Hounds, by Ryuugi	ItsaRandomUsername, +2gwonbush, Rafflesiac
An impulsive decision made in a chance encounter with one of the Fae Folk leads to Tohno Shiki and his would-be victim forging an unlikely alliance for the sake of their lives when a power struggle turns all eyes on them. A Dresdenverse/Nasuverse fusion, where Butcher's work is the setting that calls the shots.
Heldenhaft, by Cornuthaum	Imperial, Kishou the Badger, +1Bloble
No this is not a real fic. ShortTemp.
It's Tanabata, and what is a Lonely Little Sister to do?, by ItsaRandomUsername	Fafnir, +1Rafflesiac
a.k.a Brotherlover. Also a Lonely Island spoof. Ilya and Akiha take a more aggressive approach to their onii-chans.
Into The Rain, by Radiantbeam	DezoPenguin, +1Fafnir
A "what if" fic centered Rin finding Sakura in HF before Shirou can, resulting in a more immediate acceptance of her sisterly feelings, followed by awakening of feelings that aren't really appropriate for sisters, but nothing Rin's skills at self-delusion can't handle. And Shirou may be getting the best consolation prize ever for losing his love interest. It's also dead.
Where It Counts, by Mithrigil	Seika, +1Crimson13
A one-shot, covering Kariya growing up, and his relationships with Aoi, Bakuya and and Zōken over the years until he leaves the Matō household, achieved by vignettes set in certain years of his life.
Ilya's Castle, by Tobias	Kelnish, +1Rafflesiac
A novelization of the Ilya's Castle minigame. It's a very straight forward story and totes worth the read.
Shion Means Remembrance, by Arashi_Leonhart	Kirby, +1Kyte
A bittersweet short story focused on Issei and Rider. Basically, he encounters Rider alone after school when Team Shinji sets up the Bloodfort, and after hearing her situation (and need for mana), he offers his help, of sorts.
Tsukihime: Realistic, by KaoruAoiShiho	Five_X, Bloble, +1ItsaRandomUsername
A piece of provocative fiction our intrepid author herein presents, with the intent outright stated to be the intimate enhancement of Tsukihime in a fashion approximating reality with far more veracity than the pungent prose of Nasu. Accompany yourselves with a realistic and masculine Shiki who assimilates his sublunary desires and knowledge in clear harmony with those realistic, masculine obligations of our own world. Unfathomably distinguished in juxtaposition to the ephemeral predecessor and autochthonous work by Nasu and his unworkably quixotic appeal to readers. (It's a silly fic)
To Die Like a Human, by VelsperTheCat	Kyte, +1Fan_Fic_Reader
Ever wondered what did Ilya think and feel during the Grail war? A first-person study on Ilyasviel von Einzbern, from birth to death to beyond. HF route.
Nadir, by I3uster	ItsaRandomUsername, +1Guy
The Burial Agency has their hands full as they hunt one of the strongest vampires in the world. Loads of Executor goodness. Comes with a free Narbareck.
Nine Ways Archer's Plans Went Horribly Wrong, by Mini Nephthys	Duncan Idaho, +1Kirby
Nine very short snippets where Archer's plans went awry.
Rust, by Bloble	Imperial, Bridgeburner90, Rafflesiac, Kirby, +1Chicago Ted
Archer being Archer as fuck. A new twist on a familiar character that stays true to his essence with some great fights on the side and an eerie setting; Like some sort of post-apocalyptic Western.
Loyalty, by Wordgawk	Elf
It is not only the end that Archer looks out for. A short character piece about Archer, his angst and what he thinks of Rin.
From Across the Throne of Heroes, by Corvus no Genmu	Dragoon
One-Shot Series. The Holy Grail has become corrupted… controlled by the Evils of the World but there is enough of its core, of her original self, that retains, that remembers… That all rules are made to be broken… So let us witness the wondrous fractures of the Kaleidoscope…
In All Things, by Arashi Leonhart	Riven
Soon after their daughter is born into this world, Mikiya and Shiki go over what her name is to be. A sweet, touching oneshot that captures the personas of both characters perfectly as they receive the greatest gift this world has to offer us, a child. Very typical Arashi in both character analysis and general literary quality. Short, but very, very good.
Honor Remains, by curlydots	core_88, Seika
"You'd prefer if I died fighting you then?" Diarmuid says, his voice heavy with amusement. Saber and Lancers fight in the Einzbern forest ends a little differently. Basically knights bonding over knightly stuff.
Servants who Never Should be Summoned, by OverMaster & others	Ergast
A collection of short snippets about various characters being summoned as Servants. Humor and characterization vary.
A Small Warmth, by Polly	YeOfLittleFaith
Post UBW-Good Story. In which the relationship between Saber and Rin is touched upon and their importance to each other elaborated on, the meaning of everyday happiness is explored, and Saber makes peace with herself.
On the Independent Development of Magic Circuits and Its Implications, by Megkips	Kuradora, Siriel, Fafnir
It both explores what it would be like for Waver to succeed with his awesome paper and studies from before Fate/Zero, his reaction to it, and really gives the feeling of a research paper in the excerpts.
Broken Steel, by bard_linn	Elf, Hymn of Ragnarok, Imperial
A possible 'what if' scene for Archer's background. Emiya Shirou chose to turn his mind to steel during the 5th Heaven's Feel and has to live with the consequences, even beyond death.
Three Bladed Weaponry Fetishists Walk Into A Bar, by Wingless	core_88, Misheard, LeopardBear, Raven2785, +1Fan_Fic_Reader
Three protagonists of TYPE-MOON works sits at a table at Ahnenerbe and bond sort of. A nice oneshot showing us how no true protagonist is even halfway sane (at lest not in a Type-Moon work) in a humorous manner.
Gilgamesh Tries His Hand At, by Augustine	Meh
Gilgamesh tries his hand at various things such as Baseball, Contest Judging, and Bake Sales, all with the same arrogance and style one can expect from him.
Gotta Contract 'Em All!, by Stormedge	rajvir
A parody of both Fate and Pokémon, where the Servants take the Pokemons' place. Except for Saber, she's a regular girl subbing in for a Servant. Forcibly. It's about as ridiculous as you can imagine.
Gilgamesh Plays With Dolls, by Delusional Fishies	Kirby
Gilgamesh found a way to vent his hatred over Archer. It involves dolls.
Property Damage, by Kagaseo	Fan_Fic_Reader
Zelretch, bored to death, decides to cause mischief. As a result, the Grail calls upon seven of the most overpowered Servants the Throne of Heroes has in store. In the not so grim darkness of the current present… there can only be property damage. And crazy aliens.

NSFW Stories

Fate/Far Side, by Arashi_Leonhart	Raven2785, Daiki, Seika, Pata Hikari, +21
Kiritsugu takes Shirou to Misaki city on a trip to see a physician for his illness. Years later, with the knowledge of what really happened to his father Shirou takes a trip to Misaki once more. Written as a VN novelization, with multiple routes and whatnot.
And Then Rin Messed Up, by Arashi_Leonhart	DreamsRequiem, +18
It's a oneshot lemon, but it's mostly a humor fic about Rin trying to make Shirou feel better. And fail at it, for the most part.
Shared Resonance of Possession Experience, by Arashi_Leonhart (FF.net)	Sylentnight, +15
On the run from the Association and Church, a chance encounter between Sion Eltnam Atlasia and Shirou Emiya changes their lives. Complete.
Breakfast at Kotomine's, by Five_X & LeopardBear	Elf, +14
Jeanne of Arc shows Lancer how much of a "Holy Virgin" she isn't by seducing him, insulting him, and plain seducing the Hound of Ulster. There's even creative uses of cooking oil in this story as well. Spares no description.
That Ever Illusive Utopia, by Elf	Arch-Magos Winter, +13
Archer centric and following a very different ending to HF, where Ilya decides to make a happy ending for her Onii-chans - both of them. As the aftermath of this unfolds, Saber experiences difficulty adapting and atoning with her actions while corrupted. Perhaps a certain white haired hero can help with that.
Of Leaves and Lilacs, by Dark Pulse	ItsaRandomUsername, Chacho, kay4today, +6, Fafnir
Follow two eventful weeks in the like of Tohno Akiha post-Kohaku route. Lesbianism and self-reflection. Since this is a Tsukihime fic naturally dark subject matter and violent undertones abound.
Not The Welcome She Was Expecting, by DezoPenguin	Fafnir, +8
Set post-Heaven's Feel True End. Having returned to the Clock Tower following her first visit home in a year, Rin finds her studies going wrong thanks to unfinished business left behind. Sent back by her mentor to solve the problem, her return to her home is interrupted by an unexpected guest, and things she should have already realized. 2013 Fanfiction Contest winner. 'tis got yuri.
Didn't Even Make It... Series, by Arashi_Leonhart	ItsaRandomUsername, +7, Petrikow
To the Onsen (Rin), To the Hospital (Saber), To the End of the Movie (Sakura), To the Mission Briefing (Caren), To the Festival (Ilya) [I]Because sometimes you just want a quick fix of Fate/stay night smut of your choice without it being bogged down by an overarching plot. Has something for everyone.
Peorth, by Yuurei-san	Elf, +6
An unexpected meeting between two unlikely people is sometimes all that's needed to change anything and everything. Alternate UBW route, Lancer stumbles on Sakura in great need of both a man and a hero.
Nice Boat, by RoadBuster	Elf, +6
Luviagelita Edelfelt and Emiya Shirou are undercover for the Magi Association to investigate strange happenings on Fem's Casa. They find that the cruise boat is housing a Dead Apostle while fighting their some what "forbidden" attraction to each other. Shirou x Luvia.
Fate/Stay Away, by Arashi_Leonhart	DezoPenguin, +6
A series of vignettes encompassing the Fate route with Shirou summoning Saber Alter in Saber's place. While the events play out more or less as they did in canon, the changes in their relationship occasioned by Saber's different personality are heartfelt and well-described. Plus well-above-average smut in the lemon parts.
Hidden Option, by Arashi_Leonhart	Kirby, +6
A short Ayako/Shirou lemon. Diverges from the scene in the UBW anime where Ayako confronts Shirou, where this time, Shirou accompanies her to the staff room. Self explanatory, it's a lemon.
Against the Cold, by ConquisteloCait	Seika, Polly, +4
Saber and Iri: feeling and sensation; Riding and dildos. Premise is oddly common among Saber/Iri porn writers, in that it comes as Iri is starting to lose feeling while her body breaks down. Anyway, the sex takes its time and is generally very well written, I think the personalities are captured strongly, and the promise of 'fluff and smut' is properly fulfilled, throwing good slices of character work into the encounter.
The Trinity Series, by Kieran	Elf, +4Lunaludus, rajvir, gesalt, qqchurch, Seika, kay4today
The daughter of Shiki & Ciel, EMIYA, a misplaced and unusual Servant, and Ilya find themselves warped into an alternate reality of the Harry Potter series, where Harry Potter was killed by Voldermort. The motley crew tries to advert the problems that Harry Potter does with some very interesting, and cataclysmic results. Beware the self-insert.
The Loli Grail War, by Twelveseal	ItsaRandomUsername, Bloble, +1Alulim, Emy
With a premise that is is something out of crackfic territory, "All the Servants in a Grail War are little girl Type-MOON characters," the kid gloves come off and the gauntlet that will decide the fate of and the world will be thrown. Unexpectedly but justifiably dark, and capable of dishing out humor, horror, and drama with ease. Also SURFING ZELRETCH. WARNING: Lemon, gore, some OCs and genderbending. Please stop and consider there're lolis, gore and lemons involved in the same fic.
Bloodless Sins (DSM link), by Elf	ReverseLogic, +1NewAgeOfPower
The latest in her Catharsis series, Elf gets back to her favorite couple. After recovering from Kotomine's attack during the Grail War, Rin is surprised to find Archer somehow miraculously resurrected. However the mass resurrection isn't as happy as it seems as people try to make new lives, and Matou Shinji realizes he has many sins to atone for.
Hardest Choice Ever, by Pata Hikari	Arashi, +1NewAgeOfPower
Shirou Emiya, as the eldest son of Kiritsugu Emiya, is geas-contracted to wed one of the daughters of Tohsaka. Damn that old man and his drunken ways. AU, crackish, lemon. The result of people discussing how to write a comedic lemon.
An Empty Attachment, by Bloble	Petrikow, +1Fafnir, Polly
Girls with dicks are truly the height of erotica. (It's Shiki Ryougi x Touko) "Positively Shakespearean!"
Private People, by MiniNepthys	Seika, Elf
Diarmuid deals with Love Spot troubles and Tōsaka Rin's matchmaking by faking a relationship with Archer. Given a chivalrous knight and a mysterious un-named hero aren't expected to go over the top with PDAs, neither of them is particularly troubled by the arrangement. Yet ...
If You Give This Man A Ride, by MiniNephthys	Seika
Waver has to manage his harem of Riders. It's humour and fluff and relationships and some gentle harem satire and a bit of sex, all in less than 700 words. Mini's an artist of one-shots, packing so much into so little space, drawing you in very quickly and easily, hitting hard to get the reaction she wants.
Wearing Her Favor, by emiyas	Elf
After Archer fights Rider, he finds that something has gone askew in his connection with Rin. But after a day like that, he’ll do what it takes to reaffirm his allegiance to her. It's not a perfect Rin/Archer fic, they're both slightly OCC, but it's an enjoyable read for a one shot.
That's one way to wake Nii-san up, by Pata Hikari	Bridgeburner90
After some months of relationship, Akiha decides to satisfy every man's fetish. Except that she didn't take into account Kohaku's deviousness, and Shiki's bad dreams. A short fic, with an often neglected pairing, funny, sweet and with a nice lemon. Especially because Shiki is not much of an asshole.
Continuing Dreams, by CrimsonParagon	Bridgeburner90
Three different oneshots, set after Arcueid True, Hisui True and Akiha True. Post Arc-True, Shiki is still unable to accept Arcueid's last words, and decides to go and rescue her from the Castle, helped by an old man. Inspired by the manga until this point, the story becomes original when someone decides to oppose Shiki's intent. Someone who knows Arcueid very well, and has no idea why a mere human would waste time with his natural predator. Mostly drama, with a slight side of fluffy feelings. Post Hisui-True, Shiki and Hisui have long abandoned the mansion, but they are still trying to get over the pain of the deaths of those that were dear to them. The fic isn't exceptional, but it's probably because there was little of interest that could be said about the scenario in the first place. Furthermore, the OC friend of Shiki, while not badly written, makes you wonder why the story couldn't just use Arihiko. On the positive side, the theme of getting through the hardships, and coming to better days, is as Tsukihime as Tsukihime can get. Lemon presence but not a terrible one. Years after Akiha-True Shiki has settled in his role as Tohno Shiki but he still fears the killer that dwells inside him. On the outside, the Tohno group is undergoing a crisis, and one of its more powerful members is still vying for the position of leader. Plus, you know, being Akiha's husband can't be that easy... A long oneshot, that combines action, drama and some very nice fluff. Has NSFW content, in a not-bad-at-all lemon, and Nanaya-would-approve levels of violence.
Ocean Stroll, by Bloble	Arashi_Leonhart
There's nothing terribly deep or exciting going on, but it's sweet and fuzzy inducing and can incite some chuckles. And bonus points for creative analogies and euphemisms with the sex. Also so Bloble's claim in the NSFW section isn't just whacky futa.

**SeiKeo** · November 24th, 2012, 04:48 PM

Maybe I'm a Lion

Kara no Kyoukai / Prototype (the game)

A remarkably coherent crossover with some of the best internal monologue I've seen written for a fanfic.

Beyond Emptiness

Technically a Touko/Ryougi shipfic, but also happens to have the best-written Touko on the board - worth reading solely for that.

I don't mean the discussion thread that got nuked, I mean we had a rec'd fics thread stickied before. What happened to that?

**SeiKeo** · November 24th, 2012, 04:55 PM

Unstuck and probably then dropped back a few pages. I sort of presume that this one more currently reflects community...

Hmmm, the old one has stuff that's already complete. Gonna link on OP.

**~~2Bad~~** · November 24th, 2012, 04:59 PM

Should we also have a way of voting fics down? Seeing who is for and against a piece can give others a good idea of whether they might like it or not.

**The Sylentnight** · November 24th, 2012, 05:00 PM

Here. Let me contribute a bit before I go back and lurk.

Fate:Nightmare Apatheia
By Heavy Valor
Genre: It says Adventure/Romance on the thing.
Crossover: Code Geass
Summary: The forefather of Britannia made a contract with the World. A forsaken Prince, a contract with an Immortal. A Hero, a contract with a Servant. This is the story of these eternal bonds, the victories and failures of their promises.
Pairing(s): Shirou x Saber Lelouch x C.C
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7004039/...tmare-Apatheia
Warnings: Not really sure what to warn about. I guess I'll get to that when i read it again.

Fate: Zero Eos
By Mr. Sparkles
Genre: Adventure/Fantasy
Crossover: Code Geass
Summary: 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.
Pairing(s): Not so sure.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7996190/1/Fate-Zero-Eos
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.

And I decided to with I3uster's format because it seemed sensible.

I s'pose if you go all anti-vote I'd write it down in red or something. Keep score, maybe.

**I3uster** · November 24th, 2012, 05:01 PM

Since the rec will get linked someone would see your negative response to it if they scroll down. I dunno if we really need to put that in the OP though.

Assuming someone actually clicked through, what with the blurb being in the OP seems unlikely. It's probably worth having a contrary blurb if such opinion exists.

It's all worth a read at least in my opinion

Title: Lunatique
Author: Moczo
Genre: Action
Summary: Zelretch vs Crimson Moon. So good that some people took it as their canon view of events. Excellently written and it might be the best action piece on BL with engaging dialouge and incredible action scenes. Oneshot length, quickly read, and you won't regret it.

Don't you like, want to write at least a short blurb to every story? Might help people get into it, since a bulk recommendation personally wouldn't bring me to read everything of a certain author.

...I mean we are talking Elf here so it might be different, lol. But still, it's 5 minutes of work.

Think of it this way - if you want to convince someone to put their time into reading a fic, put a bit of time into trying to convince them. If it's not worth yours, it probably isn't worth theirs.

**I3uster** · November 24th, 2012, 05:14 PM

Do you btw wanna put all the recs from the sticky in the index too or are we leaving that thread as-is?
