Nanoha FanFiction Discussion

That was adorable. \good end/

Bah, I'm falling behind. I need to keep up with this thread over my break. I've been paying attention to the CYOA as I caught up - went fairly well, except for the bad end, but I guess we came back from that one.

Want opinions since I'm here and not lurking for a change. I had a crack-ish idea and I figured out how to turn it into a story I've wanted to write for a while: Nanoha crossed with Cardcaptor Sakura. I guess what I want to ask is: would people want to read it, is it overdone, that kind of thing. I've only been following Nanoha fanfics for the last couple of months, I wasn't sure what the "market" looks like.

Also, need to go back and read a couple of the Christmas fics, methinks.

Spoiler for The Shiny Sword's omake:

Vivio pulled Einhart closer, inhaling the sweet scent of her date and exhaling softly as she rested her cheek on the soft hair. The pair moved together on the dance floor slowly, turning in a slow circle as the gentle song played from the band. The blonde moved her hand around Einhart's neck, getting a pleased sound at once as the little nip of hair was once more twisted around her finger lovingly.'

Letting out a content Sigh, Einhart held Vivio close, moving her thumb down Vivio's spine in a loving manor. The moment was ruined, however, as the two were suddenly pulled apart by a chaperon of the church. "Now, now, you two," The old prude woman scolded them in a stuck up way. "Make room for god, for you are in the Lord's sight." Vivio gaped at the woman, mouth open, for a full three seconds before pulling Einhart close again. "Now see here, young lady, you will keep your distance. If you want to touch, then hand on hand is acceptable. Now, make room for god."

"I am," Vivio threatened her loudly. "Or do you want to tell the Kaiser that she must make room for herself, in the arms of her date?"

The woman looked at Vivio sternly for a few moments before her jaw suddenly went slack. "I... I'm sorry, your majesty, I was wrong."

"Now," Vivio stuck up her nose while Einhart snickered. "Fetch us some punch."

"R-right away!"

Oh my. I keep forgetting Vivio is important in more ways than one. Hilarious.

So I wrote a bit more of 'The Location of Happiness' but I don't quite feel in 'the zone', so I'm putting up what I did for peer evaluation.

I didn't make any major changes to the first part, because Kaijo's comments said it depended on what direction I'm taking the fic in. Now, I don't know what these directions he speaks of are, or which is more suitable, so I'm just leaving it as is. If it doesn't work further with the direction I do take the fic in, then I'll go back and change it.

Spoiler for 1-1:

Yuuno sighed as he sat at his desk, certain that it was going to be another long day at the office. Today would be even worse, he knew, because Chrono wouldn’t be making another order for at least a few more days. As such, all Yuuno could do was sit at his desk and wait for some one to come to him for assistance.

He had many such visitors at first, all of them relying on his abilities to find the knowledge they seeked, but as time went on there was a sharp decline in number and Yuuno knew he had only himself to blame for that. The system he had worked so hard to perfect had made finding books in the Infinity Library as simple as using an internet search engine. No one was in need of his services anymore since they could easily locate the tome they wanted themselves.

The number of archaeological dig sites he was invited to had also surprisingly dropped. A consultation was rare as well, and Yuuno could only think of a few explanations. The first was the people in the field were skilled enough not to require his services, the second was that there were no more artefacts to be found, and the third was that they didn’t consider him to be of any use anymore.

That third possibility was the most troubling. After all these years, was he really obsolete? Certainly the library could function well enough without him, but was he not needed anywhere by anyone anymore?

“What’s the point of me being here?” He wondered aloud. “Would anyone care if I just disappeared?”

When there was a knock on his door, Yuuno shook those thoughts from his head. Quickly wiping his hands over his face, he forced a smile and told his visitor to enter.

“Good morning, Yuuno.” Fate greeted as she walked in.

“Good morning, Fate.” He said back. “What can I do for you today?”

“Well, I was wondering…” Fate paused to consider her friend a moment. “Yuuno, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong.” He lied. “I’m just fine.”

“If something’s bothering you, you know you can talk to me about it.”

“Like I said, there’s nothing wrong. I’m fine. So, what’s your business?”

“That can wait.” Fate insisted. “Please, tell me what’s wrong.”

“I said I’m fine didn’t I?!” Yuuno said with a surprising amount of sharpness.

“… Now I know something’s wrong.” Fate smiled softly. “Talk to me.”

“I said…”

“I’ve had to become perceptive enough to know when something is bothering Nanoha,” Fate explained. “You’re much easier to read by comparison.”

“…” Yuuno signalled his defeated by swivelling in his chair so its back faced her. “Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. There’s nothing you can do about it.”

“Try me.”

Yuuno sighed and wished his friend wasn’t so stubborn at times. “I was just thinking about how the system I created has made my job completely unnecessary. People can find whatever they like easily enough without me.”

“That’s not true, Yuuno.” Fate countered. “You still have an important role to fill.”

“Like what?” He shot back. “These days all I do is sit here in my office and read whatever happens to be on my desk. If it weren’t for Chrono’s large requests, I wouldn’t have any actual work to do. It’s just a matter of time before the Bureau decides to stop wasting a paycheque on me.”

“You’re still a big player in the archaeological community…”

“I used to be, anyways. I haven’t been contacted about a dig or any other sort of assignment in ages! Face it, Fate, no one needs me.”

“You still have your tribe.” She tried.

“Even though my tribe raised me, I’m still effectively an outsider.” Yuuno said. “The responsibility was diffused through everyone, so no one is particularly attached to me, and I’m not particularly attached to any of them, either. I haven’t had much contact with them ever since I took up my position here so I doubt any of them even remember me.”

“You still have us!”

“Yeah right.” He laughed derisively. “I got your holiday cards. You all looked so happy, with your families and loved ones and it was painfully clear to me that I have no place among you. You get to go home and be with Nanoha and Vivio and every night I return to that empty apartment of mine where no one is waiting for me and no one would even care if I never returned at all!”

Fate could tell from the way his voice broke that he was crying. She tried to round the desk to comfort him, but he kept turning away.

“So what would you understand?” He sobbed. “You have everything I ever wanted, so there’s no way you know how I’m feeling right now! I guess it’s just too much to ask for a little happiness and some one to share that happiness with. I’m twenty-four and I’ve never even been on a date once! All the girls I was ever close to are lesbians, and I’m so effeminate that other women have no interest in me at all! Look at how I’m crying like a sissy right now! Some man I am…”

“Yuuno, stop it already!” Fate finally just spun the chair around and grabbed his shoulders. She thought of telling him that he was a great guy and any girl would be lucky to have him, but she realised it would probably sound like a hollow comment coming from her.

“Just face it, Fate, I’m pathetic!” He kept crying. “It’s no wonder I lost Nanoha to you…”

“That’s…” Fate stopped, not sure how she could reply to that. “That’s just how it turned out. It wasn’t because there was something wrong with you…”

“Then how come no women show any interest in me?” He whispered. “Even after I gave up on Nanoha, why haven’t I been able to find some one?”

“The time just hasn’t been right, I guess.” Fate answered lamely.

“… The time hasn’t been right in twenty-four years… I doubt it’ll ever be…”

Fate felt so helpless seeing the man broken like this. She wanted to say something that could make everything all better, but she just couldn’t think of anything.

“If… If you had told us this sooner, we could have helped you…”

“There’s no way I could have done that.” He said. “I won’t ruin your happiness by dragging in my problems. Just… forget it, Fate.” He sighed, regaining some composure. “I shouldn’t have blown up like this at you. I’m sorry.”

“But Yuuno, it’s not good to bottle up your feelings like that. You’re my friend and I want to help you.”

“Don’t bother yourself with my problems.” He smiled meekly. “It’s just something stupid that doesn’t matter anyways.”

“It clearly matters to you.”

“Just tell me what you came here for. I won’t waste any more of your time.”

“Yuuno…” Fate stopped as she realised what she could do to help him just a little. “Come work with me, Yuuno!”

“Excuse me?”

“Just sitting here is giving you too much time to brood over this, so come work with me on this case I’m doing now!”

“But it’s not like I could really help…”

“Sure you could.” Fate smiled. “I’m investigating a certain group that seems to have gotten its hands on an unknown Lost Logia, so your expertise would be invaluable. I was just going to consult you here, but why don’t you come out into the field with me? A change of pace would be good for you.”

“But…”

“I insist.” Fate gently took his arm and pulled him out of his chair. Yuuno sighed and gave in, knowing his friend had the best intentions in mind. After what he just did, he didn’t want to spit on her kindness any further.

“I guess it wouldn’t hurt…”

Spoiler for 1-2:

Fate disliked the silence that permeated her car. Yuuno was more intent on staring out the window at the sky than make casual conversation. Well, considering he had just bared his soul to her not too long ago, she couldn’t exactly blame the guy. Still, she felt she should say something.

“Nice weather today, isn’t it?”

“Yes, it is.” He answered plainly, causing Fate to sigh at her failed attempt. She searched for other topics, but knew she’d just be rubbing salt in his wounds if she talked about how happy Vivio was opening her presents, or how she and Nanoha were planning a vacation in the near future.

“I’m sorry again for earlier.” Yuuno spoke again. “I guess being alone for the holidays was too much for me and everything just sort of came flooding out. I didn’t mean to burden you with my problems.”

“But it’s ok that you did, you know that, right?” She replied. “I do love you, Yuuno. It may not be in the way that you want, but you are still my friend. I’m always here for you, and so is Nanoha and everyone else.”

“I know.” Yuuno turned back and smiled slightly. “And I do feel a bit better getting it off my chest, so thanks for listening. It still doesn’t address the root of the problem, though.”

“I wish I could say something to make it all better, but…” Fate sighed. “Would you believe me if I said you are a wonderful guy and any girl would be lucky to have you?”

“… I’d like to, but my mind immediately thinks that if it were true, I wouldn’t be single.”

“I thought so.” Fate sighed again.

“Please don’t worry too much about it, Fate. I am glad you’re here for me, but… it just isn’t enough anymore…”

“Well, you never know what will happen or what kind of people you will meet.” Fate tried to sound hopeful. “Maybe you’ll even meet some one on this assignment!”

“If only life were that convenient,” He sighed. “Well, tell me more about this assignment first.”

“I’ll explain the specifics once we meet up with Shari.” Fate said as she pulled her car into the parking lot. “We’re catching a transport to our base of operations from here.”

“Ok then.” Yuuno said as he got out of the car and they made their way into the depot.

“Ah, Fate-san, there you are!” Shari ran up to her boss when she saw her. “Oh? Hello there, professor. I wasn’t expecting you to come along too.”

“It’s nice to see you again, Shari.” Yuuno shook her hand. “It’s been awhile.”

“I thought it might be better for him to come with us.” Fate explained. “I’m sure he’ll be a great help in determining what we’re up against.”

“Sounds good to me.” Shari smiled. “Pleasure to be working with you.”

“You too.” He said back.

The trio boarded their transport which then headed off to their destination. As he looked out the window, Yuuno noted that the view kept deteriorating as they went along. Eventually it was nothing more than a rocky wasteland.

“So where are we going?” He asked.

“We’re heading to a base out in the fringes.” Shari explained. “Apparently some sort of militant group is hanging out in the area.” She called up a magical display and showed a picture of a large, bearded man standing before a group of people. “This is their leader, a man by the name of Hummer. This is a still from a video he sent out, declaring his intent on deposing the TSAB. You know, the usual.”

“They’re a small group that the Bureau would normally ignore,” Fate picked up. “However, this is the issue.” The image zoomed into Hummer’s hand, which held an odd looking gun into the air. “He claims the weapon he holds is an ancient gun with highly destructive powers.”

“Hmm…” Yuuno studied the image. “I definitely feel like I’ve seen this before. Once we get to the base I’ll access the Library’s databanks and see what I can find.”

“If it really is as great a threat as he claims it is, then we’ll need to find a countermeasure.” Fate noted. “If it’s just a bluff, we can go in and put a stop to his operation easily enough.”

“Even if it is some sort of super weapon, I’m sure it’ll be no match for Fate-san!” Shari grinned. “She’ll have everything wrapped up so fast, you might as well have stayed home, professor.”

“You’re over exaggerating, Shari.” Fate chuckled nervously. “If things finish quickly, it will be because of Yuuno’s great wealth of knowledge.”

“Now who’s exaggerating?” Yuuno smiled derisively. “It’s not much to brag about.”

“Actually, your essay on the design concepts of ancient machines was very insightful.” Shari nodded sagely. “Mariel was also quite impressed with it. We even ended up discussing it until morning.”

“That was one of the ones you got an award for, isn’t it?” Fate put in. “See, a lot of people recognise your talents.”

“… I guess that’s true.” He smiled a little more genuinely. It’s not like he could deny that, seeing as how the award and a few others still hung on the wall of his office.

In related news, it comes as no surprise that the reviews I've gotten for this fic include such lines as "HAWH HAWH! Take THAT, you little ferrety piece of sht! LMAO Die die die DIE! ROFL" People sure are heartless (not to mention utterly predictable).

Well, it's almost New Years here, so I shall make a fanfiction resolution! I'm resolved to finish all the fics I have on going right now sometime this year!

I would also suggest we declare this year the year of the ferret and write more Yuuno fics!

Happy New Year!

Hm, while it is true that Zafira is vastly under used, he doesn't get the venomous hate that Yuuno does, so I think he needs it more.

Why don't we just write more fics about the men of Nanoha? That lot as a whole is always overlooked!

[Tabasco]

@RadiantBeam
Wow. The ability of people to make idiots of themselves never ceases to amaze me.

I like the idea so far, Yuuno comes off a little more bleakly depressed than I usually picture him, but you could argue he's having a particularly bad day.


@Satashi
Poor Ein. Though at least she'll have many opportunities to make up for it.

I do hope you put that up somewhere, it was well worth reading. Out of curiosity, what was the approved ending?

Ein would faint at either E or F, so they were both the desired / true endings.

I'm going to post on FF.N as soon as its beta read :3

I'd be happy to beta-read for it, if you like. It'd help me get back on track with my own writing.

Vivio's a Kaiser (okay the clone of one). Ein's just the descendant of a King.

[TheShinySword]

Double posting, I'm doing it, just to post the first crack of the new year.

I heard there was a demand for the guys gettin' some love. So I decided to fulfill it (actually Satashi made the suggestion )

Spoiler for GL:

“We, the men of the Nanoha franchise, demand equal rights!” Chrono shouted through his megaphone at the giant skyscraper that was the 7arcs headquarters, somewhere in the middle of the 4th wall.

Chrono soon found the megaphone ripped from his hands and taken into Vice's, “And by that we actually mean we want girlfriends!”

“That is not what we mean!” Chrono snapped, taking back his megaphone.

“It isn't?” Acous looked surprised, “Because that's exactly why I'm here. Though,” He smirked and draped an arm around Yuuno's shoulder, “I'm not terribly picky.”

“This is moderately uncomfortable.”

“If we will not get the things we demand,” Chrono continued on, “we will go on strike!”

“Go ahead,” Nanoha leaned out of a window, “There's nothing interesting about you guys anyway.”

Hayate popped out the window next to her, “Try out some guy love stuff! Girls eat that up!”

The men looked at each other. Acous with the look of a hungry tiger, the others with looks of confusion and mild contemplation.

Vice took the megaphone from a sputtering Chrono's hands, “heh, oh yeah!” He shouted into the megaphone, “You can't begin to understand the extent of our guy love!”

“What?” The other five all stared at him, suddenly getting a very bad feeling indeed.

Vice merely smirked to himself as music started to play from some unspecified source. “Let's face the fact about all of us. And the love we can't define.”

“Vice what are you doing,” Griffith and Zafira tried to pull Vice back to stop him from further embarrassing himself, and them, but he merely broke away and kept singing.

Vice slung his arms around Griffith and Zafira's shoulders, “Though I'm proud to call you all my bros. Some people only think we're hos.”

“Excuse me?” Chrono crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.

“I feel exactly those feelings too,” Acous took the megaphone from Vice.

Griffith snatched the megaphone away, “And that's why I keep them inside.” He ducked Vice's attempts to pull him into a bromantic hug. “'Cause this 'bro' doesn't know what this feeling means. And sometimes it's easier to lie, than explain our...”

“Guy love,” Vice and Acous dragged Griffith into jointing them. “That's all this is. Guy Love~ He's mine I'm his!” They looked up defiantly to Hayate, “There's nothing gay about it in our eyes!”

“You ask me 'bout this thing we share,” Zafira broke in, in his low baritone.

“And we tenderly reply,” Yuuno accompanied with his softer voice.

“It's guy love,” They both sang.

The five singers sang at once, “Between five guys~.”

“This is ridiculous,” Chrono sighed, he'd intended for this to be a serious protest, of course it turned into a friggin' musical number.

“We're closer than the average man and wife~” Vice brought it home.

“That's why we all wear matching rings~” Griffith and others flashed their pinky rings of brotherhood.

Zafira took center, belting out, “You know I'll stick by for the rest of my life!”

Yuuno broke through the other four, “You're the only guys who've ever been inside of me!!!”

“He means that metaphorically!” Vice, Griffith and Zafira quickly corrected.

Acous shook head, “There's no need to clarify.” He rested his hands on Vice and Griffith's shoulders.

“Oh no?” They questioned.

“Just let it grow more and more each day.”

Vice rubbed his chin, “It's like I married all my best friends.”

“But in a totally monogamous way!” Griffith protested.

“And masculine too!” Zafira added.

Chrono rubbed his brow, were these really his friends?

The five singers formed a happy chain of brotherliness, “Let's sing~ It's guy love, don't compromise, the feeling of a bunch of guys,” They reached their hands up toward the sky, “Holding up your heart into the sky~.”

Yeah, those were his friends alright.

Vice turned to his friends, “I'll be there with you through all the lows.”

“I'll be there to share the highs,” Acous held out the note.

Chrono could hardly stand it.

“It's guy love~” The love line sang.

He couldn't stand it.

“BETWEEN SIX GUYS~” Chrono burst through the center of the line, pinky ring of brotherhood on and belting like all those years of after work theater classes had taught him too.

Vice sniffed, “And when I say, 'I love you guys.'”

Griffith patted him on the shoulder and offered him a handkerchief, “It's not what it implies~”

They huddled in what resembled an attempted manly group hug, “It's guy love~”

“Between~”

“Six~”

“Guys~~~~~~~~~”

The music faded away.

“I love you guys,” Chrono fought off his manly tears.

“Yeah,” Yuuno, on the other hand, let his manly tears flow. “We don't need screen time.”

“Not so long as we have each other,” Vice nodded as Zafira silently wiped away his single testosterone tear.

Nanoha looked from her window to Hayate's, “please tell me you recorded that.”

Hayate snapped her camcorder shut, “Every second.”

Spoiler for A/N:

Spoiler for Original song:

I changed the lyrics around at a couple of points, I thought that'd be better than the usual lyrical copy pasta singing fics get.

And musical theater training is totally a required part of the TSAB's regiment.

"Now see here, young lady, you will keep your distance. If you want to touch, then hand on hand is acceptable. Now, make room for god."

"I am," Vivio threatened her loudly. "Or do you want to tell the Kaiser that she must make room for herself, in the arms of her date?"

The woman looked at Vivio sternly for a few moments before her jaw suddenly went slack. "I... I'm sorry, your majesty, I was wrong."

"Now," Vivio stuck up her nose while Einhart snickered. "Fetch us some punch."

"R-right away!"

I laughed pretty hard.

I can't think of a term to describe how awesome the song was. Hayate at the very end was the icing on the cake.

Ahem...

Have I ever told you how much I love you for things like this, Shiny?

[agetreme]

Can this be considered Adultery since Chrono is married?

Edit: By the way, where is Erio? (or nobody even consider him as a guy?)

[Nya~n]

Naa... Erio only has hands for Caro.

“Excuse me?” Chrono crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.

“I feel exactly those feelings too,” Acous took the megaphone from Vice.

Griffith snatched the megaphone away, “And that's why I keep them inside.” He ducked Vice's attempts to pull him into a bromantic hug. “'Cause this 'bro' doesn't know what this feeling means. And sometimes it's easier to lie, than explain our...”

“Guy love,” Vice and Acous dragged Griffith into jointing them. “That's all this is. Guy Love~ He's mine I'm his!” They looked up defiantly to Hayate, “There's nothing gay about it in our eyes!”

“You ask me 'bout this thing we share,” Zafira broke in, in his low baritone.

“And we tenderly reply,” Yuuno accompanied with his softer voice.

“It's guy love,” They both sang.

The five singers sang at once, “Between five guys~.”

“This is ridiculous,” Chrono sighed, he'd intended for this to be a serious protest, of course it turned into a friggin' musical number.

“We're closer than the average man and wife~” Vice brought it home.

“That's why we all wear matching rings~” Griffith and others flashed their pinky rings of brotherhood.

Zafira took center, belting out, “You know I'll stick by for the rest of my life!”

Yuuno broke through the other four, “You're the only guys who've ever been inside of me!!!”

“He means that metaphorically!” Vice, Griffith and Zafira quickly corrected.

Acous shook head, “There's no need to clarify.” He rested his hands on Vice and Griffith's shoulders.

“Oh no?” They questioned.

“Just let it grow more and more each day.”

Vice rubbed his chin, “It's like I married all my best friends.”

“But in a totally monogamous way!” Griffith protested.

“And masculine too!” Zafira added.

Chrono rubbed his brow, were these really his friends?

The five singers formed a happy chain of brotherliness, “Let's sing~ It's guy love, don't compromise, the feeling of a bunch of guys,” They reached their hands up toward the sky, “Holding up your heart into the sky~.”

Yeah, those were his friends alright.

Vice turned to his friends, “I'll be there with you through all the lows.”

“I'll be there to share the highs,” Acous held out the note.

Chrono could hardly stand it.

“It's guy love~” The love line sang.

He couldn't stand it.

“BETWEEN SIX GUYS~” Chrono burst through the center of the line, pinky ring of brotherhood on and belting like all those years of after work theater classes had taught him too.

Vice sniffed, “And when I say, 'I love you guys.'”

Griffith patted him on the shoulder and offered him a handkerchief, “It's not what it implies~”

They huddled in what resembled an attempted manly group hug, “It's guy love~”

“Between~”

“Six~”

“Guys~~~~~~~~~”

The music faded away.

“I love you guys,” Chrono fought off his manly tears.

“Yeah,” Yuuno, on the other hand, let his manly tears flow. “We don't need screen time.”

“Not so long as we have each other,” Vice nodded as Zafira silently wiped away his single testosterone tear.

Nanoha looked from her window to Hayate's, “please tell me you recorded that.”

Hayate snapped her camcorder shut, “Every second.”

Spoiler for A/N:

Spoiler for Original song:

I changed the lyrics around at a couple of points, I thought that'd be better than the usual lyrical copy pasta singing fics get.

And musical theater training is totally a required part of the TSAB's regiment.

This is the best New Year gift I've gotten so for this year When you write humor, Shiny, it never fails to make me laugh

Though actually Zafira would suit more for the year of the Dog.... Ehmm, I mean Canine
