Search Request For Good Type Moon Stories

I had posted this on Anifics earlier, but figured what the heck, and give here a shot as well. Note this is not just for Fate/stay night fan fiction, or would have posted this in that subforum instead of the General Links one.

I recently watched Fate/stay night, I've also seen Tsukihime both quite some time back as a fan subbed series and much more recent as store bought.

I was wondering what fan fiction exists out there for either of them that is of any good. Longer works ideal, but short or one shots are acceptable. Currently I am a near blank slate, not having seen any works that were not crossovers.

Unlike many series, in both of these I liked the canon matcheups, but others are acceptable.

To date, I can only recall having read the following involving either series (so don't bother with them). All are crossovers.

'Tears of Rage' by Bean Bandit
'The Continuation of My Dream' by crimson-rkngel com
'Synnecrosis' by Rai-kun-Liddo-Kun

Rai's fic
Bean's fic
The other fic

Except for Rai's fic, he's been working on that one recently, I believe the other two are dead, though.

On my part, the only fics I've seen of Tsukihime or Fate Stay Night that I've liked were pretty much fics that showed up on this board or Beast's Lair.

Mereo Flare's EMIYA fic, for example, is hilarious. So is F1's Rider is easily ridden fic.

Let me see...

Well, some of these have already been stated, but I'll post links to the ones that immediately come to mind.

EMIYA [FSN] (by Mereo Flere)

The Melancholy of Tohno Shiki [Tsukihime/Haruhi] (by KChasm)

Gate of Babylon: King's Folly [FSN] (by Unmortem)

Dessert [FSN] (by hawker-748) [NSFW version at MM.org and TFF lemon forums]

Seven Nights of Melancholy [Tsukihime/Haruhi] (by Escalon)



There sadly isn't a large amount of Type-Moon fanfiction available, and I've only read a small amount of the ones written in any case, strangely enough. Abyssal's link has quite a few, but I haven't read that many of them, so I can't really say yay or nay to much of it.

Started looking at these:

I'll have to get back to that site. I'm seeing stories, yes, but it is not really organized in any way/shape/form, so I'll have to piece through it to find much.

EMIYA was a bit odd, but not a bad read. Same for The Melancholy of Tohno Shiki. Did not care for Gate of Babylon. Dessert was good, but an odd pairing, I would not mind a sequel though, with a bit more on the was, just to see how it ended.

I've not yet read Seven Nights of Melancholy, but will get to it.

I have to agree. Looking at FanFiction.NET, not many are over 10,000 words. I'll check that and the above site out once I plow throguh the specifically recommended stories here.

Rider is Readily Ridden by FatuousOne.

Fate/Initiative Roll by a Person With Many Aliases.

Toy Soldiers by Arhel.
I've not yet read the first one, but Fate/Intuitive Roll did not appeal to me. Toy Soldiers is a not bad premise, but the chapters are way to short and lack a *lot* in the descriptive department.

For a smaller list to wade through, I'd recommend using the search function with the subject of '[FF]' and/or '(FF)'. Most of all the fanfics on that site are marked with those tags, 'though there are others like [CO] (Crossover), or just 'Fanfic'.

Also, if you DO run across stories that you like there, I'd recommend that you save them, since the Beast's Lair forum deletes topics when they get to a certain age without any new posts.

EDIT:

Oh, and there's actually some translated material from the Type-Moon verse on the forum. 'Talk', and 'Angel Notes' if you're interested.

Talk is a Tsukihime continuation of Arcuied's True End (Which is basically what the anime followed).

Angel Notes is (likely) set in a potential future of the Type-Moon world. 'though it's not directly connected to either Fate/stay night or Tsukihime.

Just so you know, 'Seven Nights of Melancholy' is based on/a continuation of 'The Melancholy of Tohno Shiki'. 'though you could probably tell that from a sensory glance given that Escalon gives credit right away. ^^;

There are a few stories on MM.org and Ficwad that aren't on FF.net, as I recall. But they're not too long, and I can't think of any additional recommendations from them. Just so you're aware (although you probably already checked those sites).

Thanks... Though I always save those I even remotely like to my HD. For the most part, I read offline.

Never heard of that. Thanks.

I had indeed glanced at FanFiction.NET, MediaMiner.ORG, and FicWad.COM, and a couple other sites to see what they had, but read none of it, as I figured I'd give here and Anifics a shot for specific recommendations first before attempting to browse whole sections with random reads.

One thing that had me pause on FanFiction.NET was the Rin and Saber matches I had come across. While not against such matches, I cannot say in canon they had any such endearing moments considering they were advocating for the others death at points. Oh well.

On a different note, I read your story earlier. An odd story that streches believability a bit, but not bad. You mention at the bottom it was not preread. I did spot several instances of wrong words. One specifically to come to mind was 'busy' instead of 'business'.

Hm. It should also be noted that there are several other official Type-Moon related stories, and most of them are being translated.

Baka-Tsuki hosts both of the ones in translation currently.

Fate/Zero is a prequel to Fate/stay night, which focuses on the Fourth Grail War (with Kiritsugu, Gilgamesh and such).

Kara no Kyoukai is a prototype of sorts to Tsukihime. The main character (Ryougi Shiki) also has the Eyes of Death Perception, although they're somewhat different. However, this story is not directly connected with either Tsukihime or Fate/stay night.

This is mostly due to something largely glossed over in the anime (the only hint of it being when Rin frenched Saber during episode 15). It's pretty much considered canon that Rin is bi-sexual, or at the very least, is gay for Saber. She has something of an infatuation with her due to various things, and even from the prologue of Fate/stay night (the visual novel, that is), it's fairly obvious.

Mmm, it does, doesn't it? ^^ Glad it was a decent read enough.

Thanks for the correction. There was also an instance of bride instead of bridle that Rai-kun pointed out. I've corrected both of them on the main copy now (though doubtless there are still many errors I haven't spotted or been pointed at), but I doubt I'll get around to replacing it until I have some new material to post up as well. ~_~;;

Are there any decent fanfics focusing on Ayako (the archery club president)? I've read an Assassin / Ayako one but I haven't seen anything else with her.

Re: Beast's Lair.
That was my problem too. At least on FF.net, there's a quick summary so I can get an idea of what the premise is, the main characters, and whether I'd be interested. I hate to just randomly pick and choose with varying results.

PCHeintz, on fanfiction.net the author CrimsonParagon has a piece called 'Continuing Dreams'. I can't link it directly since there's Lemon Content involved but the writing itself is good quality. Definitely worth a look.

Having powered through Kieran's stuff, and figuring sharing is nice...

Legacies of Fate

Enishi

Scions of Destiny

Rainbow of the Heart

Scions is the sequel to Legacies, and Enishi has some 'supplementary' material you may want to look at before you read Scions.

Caution about Scions, though. There's LOTS of Jewel Magic involved. Admittedly, that's part of what makes it interesting to me, but some people may find all the AU's being thrown around confusing (Arc&Shiki's kid meets Ciel&Shiki's kid. Gil's conquering other dimensions.)

And that's not even taking into account Lancer/Avenger/Jester.

I thought Legacies of Fate was fine, but Scion became really, really weird after awhile. At some point even in Legacies, the Lancer / Avenger / Jester guy was starting to overpower the story.

By Scion, it did. For someone who's supposed to be a glorified bus driver, he's becoming the overpowered protagonist of the story complete with mini-harem. If this were a story just focused on him, it'd be fine but since supposedly it's not, he's overpowering what were apparently going to be the protagonists, the actual scions.

Somewhere along the way, reading it became as if HP had been overshadowed by Dumbledore or if LOTR had ended up being about Gandalf and a harem.

Well, to be fair, after adventuring for 90+ years, anyone would take a few levels in bad-ass.

And, Jester's also technicaly one of the most 'mysterious' characters. I don't mind him being fleshed out a bit more. Although, I will admit he's getting a bit... too much attention. The 'Autumn King' thing is kinda stretching it, but when I got to the Terminator bits... Well, there he went a bit over board.

Although, I did enjoy the Disgaea bits. Those were full of awesome. No matter how tough Gil's army is... They still don't have a chance against Laharl.

Plus, I like how it's actually as close to a true omniverse as I've ever read. Also, the reason Gil needs to be stopped... That was clever.

Oh, sure. It's more like bad planning on the author's part. Either the Gilgamesh villains needed to be upped more, the scions needed to be upped more (for example, the girl from Legacies seemed to be nerfed instead), or the Lancer guy needed to have been sidelined. Or, of course, going the other route, he should probably just throw out the scions entirely and write about Lancer solely instead of trying to do both.

At this point in time, I don't understand why the Lancer guy just doesn't go straight for Gilgamesh himself and take him out. Obviously, he's not having problems with the servant types. And, well, prophecies have a tendency to work themselves out or suit the circumstances instead of the other way around.

*shrugs* However, assuming it was the author's intention to focus on the scions, if it's an omniverse, at any given time, there are an infinite number of threats and probably an infinite number of them on the level of Gilgamesh (Any percentage times any percentage times infinity is still infinity. :p). It might have been better just to have Lancer completely out of the story working on solving another problem, chosen one of the scions, and just followed the scion in question as he or she meets the other scions.

I get the feeling that the author painted himself into a corner. He HAS to cover or feels he has to cover seven scions and all their adventures at all times and he's also trying to fit it around his main protagonist, Lancer. I don't think he's even revealed all of them yet and the ones he has done, the updates are squeezed around Lancer's main story such that by the time something happens to the scion in question, you've forgotten who the scion is and what's happening to him/her from the previous scene. The only scion I vaguely remember is the one from Legacies and not because of anything she's doing in the story but because of the previous story. :lol:

For that matter, can't you see it happening in the end if all the scions match up against a servant while Lancer takes on the main big bad? I could totally see it. At that point, the story probably should be renamed to Lancer's Fate instead of Scions of Fate. :lol:

Well, a true omniverse is, by nature, impossible to depict.

And, while it might not be capable of taking out the whole thing, Gil's little conquering spree could knock out quite a few 'local' branches of probability... If you could percieve it like that. Anyway, it could still cause damage.

As for going straight for Gil, Lancer's tough, but not that tough. RIDER pwned him. He almost lost to Assassin, winning by virtue of luck and Assassin being the weakest class in straight combat. Going for Gil? Gates of Babylowned.

Now, writing himself into a corner... yeah, I think he might have done a little of that.

I still enjoyed reading the stories. According to my brother, my giggles were rather eerie.

Truth and Consequences

Another attempt at a sequel for Legacies of Fate.

This time, with the whole 'Stop Interdimensional Gil' idea thrown out.

Starts basicaly right after the end of Legacies. Something happened at the end of Legacies (Kieran has yet to explain quite what but I think I have an idea) that caused the world of Legacies to become fused with the Buffy-verse.

Only a handful of people really know what's going on, though.

Avenger is still one of my favorite characters.

Admittedly, a good third of the fic is copy-pasted flashback from Legacies though. So, you definitely want to read that first. Not that that's a burden or anything.

Hmm... Elf's Black Princesses you should already know about...
Which is actually on this site. Just on like the second or third page of the Other section of Lemon fanfics. (Yes, there is lemon, but it does further the plot.)

Also, the best FSN fanfic that you're not reading: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5282769/1/The_World_Without

It takes place after the first Dead End. Shirou's dead. Watch how this affects the 5th Grail War. Witness one of the best versions of Lancer written among other awesome things in this fic.

Another neat fic that should see more updates http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3911247/1/Fate...ding_b_bLance_b

And here http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanf...s/FateStayNight there are several fics there worth checking out.
