Summary:
Author Avatar Shirou becomes the manager of Hinata Sou, has Shinobu crushing on him, and unfailingly proceeds to show how much better he is than the rest of the residents. Includes stereotypical psycho Naru, irrationally murderous Motoko, suicidally plotting Kitsune and sexually promiscuous Rider. Plot does not deviate much from canon, and the girls keep acting like he's Keitaro even though he's not. Fails at characterization, fails at pacing, and overall fails at being interesting.
Read if you like monodimensional characters and author sues; avoid like the plague otherwise.

...I don't feel comfortable adding something to the rec index using a disrec. ¬¬
Wait, Rider?
Exhausted, resetting sleep cycle due to new (hopefully final) semester.
My summary of Promises of a Wandering Hero:
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.
Its pretty interesting, while there seems to be a few gaps, I love the exploration of Shirou's character as well as painting his mate(s) not being totally dependent on him, which is a breath of fresh air. The author may be somewhat influenced by Gabriel Blessing, but overall, I feel his work is getting only better and better.
Key points of backstory/story for us FSN backgrounders:
Main Story ~2-4 years post Holy Grail War
Ilya is alive, loves her Onii-chan. Massacred most of the Einzberns with help of Mage Slayer II.
Saber returned to her own time... but she and Shirou met again (recently, 'miracle'). Obviously Shirou's Main Love.
Shirou is in a long-distance relationship with Rin, Sakura, and Rider(implied Rider)...
Caren is mega trollz <3
HGW is a giant mishmash/what-ifs, including;
Gil Fight
Corrupted Grail nomming servants, almost got Saber
Kinky Saber/Rin time
Archer giving Shirou hax arm
Despite (or maybe because of) all of the above, it is done pretty well.

Medusa. She occasionally comes to the Hinata-sou to tease Shirou and ruin the girls' self-confidence. But at least the author is not GB and Shirou has not cut ties with the rest of the cast. The chapter where he goes back to Fuyuki was pretty nice.
Unfortunately, "better than GB" does not say much in this context.

Lol. Read Hill of Swords, I kinda get where you are coming from.
This is a problem with all cross-overs, you can't focus on any side enough to satisfy either fanbase.
Medusa shows up to scare the Love Hina girls, beat up Shirou (for training purposes) and to carry him to Sakura for some lovely Mana Transfer Rituals. Not in that order... or was it?

... the op. It has a few of them. Although, people who don't indicate complete or in-progress in their recs are silly.
But if you're being lazy let's see what I can do. Complete stories.
Hill of Swords
I put on my robe and wizard hat
shared resonance of possession experience
fate/far side
lancer gets serious
shinderella
mahou senki lyrical days(part 1 of 3 is complete)
escaping fate
post nuptial disagreements
a stolen heart
some of kieran's stuff
and then the one shots tab on the op
I probably missed some?
Read most of these. Loved Kieran's and Arashi's stuff. Shinderella was truly epic, its sad to see Moczo enter a fugue-like FF writer state.
Was wondering if there were a trove of hidden Good Tsuki/Fate Fanfiction that was Compleated.
Although I read one-shots from time to time, I should specify I prefer multi-chapter epics, especially for recs.

I don't think there are any worth mentioning that haven't been recc'ed already.
NASUVERSE STAMPEDE!!!
Well, I'm still waiting for What I See to be completed before I recommend it.
Lancer x Archer OTPSpoiler:
Speaking of which, I can't believe I haven't recommended this yet:
Title: World of the Moon.
Author: pureauthor
Synopsis: A series of Tsukihime oneshots, of a variety of genres such as action and humour. The main pairing is Arc + Shiki.
Link: http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread...ld-of-the-Moon
Additional comments from me: This thread has some of the BEST Tsukihime stories I've ever read. After reading this thread I've reached the conclusion Arc + Shiki is the only possible pairing for Tsukihime, the quality of the writing won me over completely.
Ah crap copy paste fail.
It's magic!

WOOT SNIPED!

<mrtags> At least I got to be lancer the space marine, drm got omake'd into the little pink and purple butt plunger
<DrmChsr0> I have to admit, it was funny.
Don't displease Tiny Turtle
You really should have waited until next chapter. As I pointed out, the author's addressing Motoko's past next chapter. Taken from SpaceBattles:
Now, how would that change Motoko's characterization, I wonder?Originally Posted by Me
She only visited Hinata Sou physically once, to pick up Shirou and embarass him in front of two of the residents.
According to the author over one SpaceBattles, it's actually an open relationship. Any of them can get get together with other people if they want, or break-up the relationship(s) at any time. So a group of friends with benefits?
Considering the author knows it's not canon, he should be allowed to have a unicorn.
The unicorn is just not questioning how canon it is. Not how stupid it is.
I am of the personal belief that the Tsukihime Remake is two years from release. It will remain as such until a release date is announced, at which time its actual release date is 6 months after that date.Originally Posted by Nasu
