Nasuverse Unlimited Gabriel Blessing Works

No telling what GB's reasoning for Shirou having no training before his adopted father, well, adopted him, but there's one possibility... Minaka doesn't want an heir. His goal is Akasha, theoretically he could do anything once he's attained that goal, including making himself immortal. With reaching that goal personally as his desire, what point would he have for wanting an heir? It might just mean more competition.
When Minaka contacts Minato in canon Sekkerei, pretty sure Minato doesn't know who Minaka is (can't remember if Minato knows Minaka is MBI's president or not.) So, unless GB has changed that too, I doubt Minaka and Takami are married. It's possible they're married but separated, but I dunno. You could go either way really, but considering the way Takami is said to feel about Minaka, I get the feeling there's a definite sexual tension but intense hatred there, at least from Takami's side. Unless any of the later Sekerei manga issues dispute any of that, then nvm.
This is starting to feel like the new Superman movie. We wrapped up most of the bad guys already, dealt with the major plot elements from past history, and are now just in the mop-up phase with that one last villain that we'd kind of forgotten about.
I was kind of expecting a chapter where Shirou just assassinated Minaka and the few other minor villains, like he did to that one Great Ashikabi. Instead we have a Shyamalan-esque, "What a TWEEST" moment.
(I still like the story. I'm just at the point where I'm waiting for the conclusion, and hoping it's more satisfying than Hill of Swords's was.)

I'm still planning on reading In Flight to the end, but this fanfic of In Flight, perhaps the only one I've picked up and intend to read to its conclusion, feels so far like In Flight did before I started losing interest; most of the good stuff without as much of the bad. Don't think it's been recced here yet.
Basically, it deviates from when Rin and Saber arrive at Miya's Inn. The description reads: 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.]
The authors' note at the beginning of the fic warns that the authors (looks like it's a co-authorship,) intend to continue the slice-of-life with intermittent battles aspect of In Flight. The only real problem, though I haven't noticed anything wrong so far, is that the author(s) have professed to have no familiarity with Sekerei beyond In Flight. They note in author notes in later chapters that they've been consulting the manga, but I dunno if they're actually reading it. They also later admit that just about everything after their divergence point from In Flight is being discarded. So far, I have to admit I'm liking this fanfic of In Flight better than the original fic after the divergence. The idea that Shirou as characterized in In Flight itself and FSN could abandon people he felt that strongly about when they are not in agreement with said abandonment... it just doesn't sit well.

What Murasame said. It may be a little early yet, but this has so far for me had the same feel as In Flight did at it's better moments. Though I'm not completely sure how much I agree with some of the elements the author introduced, like how they explained where and how the Path of Asura came from in regards to Shirou (who introduced him to it and got him thinking of it as the thing to do,) - and no, Rin didn't do it as GB had her do. Though it's been a bit so I may have remembered that wrong; for the most part I very much like this fanfic of a fanfic. Which doesn't happen often; I'm as likely to drop this sort of thing on the first page as anybody else here. A lot of the stuff produced by GB's FF.net forum, especially the "Emiya Clan" stuff, seems to have no quality filter whatsoever. Just as you get to an interesting bit... BAM, more trash. I'm hopeful so far this'll be different.
