Sadly, anything that I might have in mind that's Taiga-based will probably be delayed until I complete Rain, or at least get it far along enough that I know it'll be near the ending point. It's only one fic, but it's shaping up to be a complicated little piece of work right now.

Nice chapter, Mozco....

This Ilya stuff is so cute.... Quote:
It's nice to see Rin managing to find an excuse to care for Sakura. Quote:
It's kind of sad that Sakura simply can't comprehend the idea that her life could go right for once, though, to the point that she just assumes it's a dream.... Quote:
Oh, Taiga, you really should know better by now. Quote:
I guess Sakura will wake up thinking it was a dream after all.... Quote:

I just hope Caster comes to realise who is really to blame for all of this. Quote:
If Caster can influence Sakura, then she can potentially seriously fuck things up for Zouken. I do wonder, though, if this is a good or bad thing for Sakura. After all, Caster probably doesn't have any problems with her (she'll likely understand Sakura's situation enough to not blame her for the actions of the shadow, given that she herself has been used as a pawn in a similar way in her own life), but at the same time she isn't going to be above using Sakura as a pawn for her own advantage. Also, given that Rule Breaker is gone without being seen by Shirou, I'm struggling to see how she can be freed from AM's grasp if she does turn Dark. Quote:

This is a damn good fic. You're doing a pretty good job of characterising Sakura and Rin here, and Ilya seems pretty good. I am still opposed to the idea of an Ilya x Shirou pairing, though, because whilst I can see Ilya going for it, Shirou is not a lolicon. Quote:
But, yeah, it's nice to see his plan go horribly wrong already, and I look forward to seeing what Caster will come up with. Quote:
Quote:
Also, it's not really that unreasonable to expect that someone you've brutally tortured at every sign of defiance or independant thought for the last eleven years will just meekly follow your orders even when she doesn't have to. That's what usually happens in the case of abused children (they'll protect and obey their abuser even when they're free of their control, simply because they fear that the abuser will 'find out' and punish them), and Sakura has never shown any real signs of defiance (except for refusing to fight in the war, I suppose, but Zouken seems to have taken that as "Shinji bullied me into it, and I don't really want to fight" rather than "fuck you, grandfather, I'm not fighting in this stupid war"). Zouken's plans were indeed fucked up, but they were fucked up by Sakura. If he had had someone like Rin, she'd have actively defied him, and then would have been tortured into absolute compliance (or, else, he'd have eventually killed her when he couldn't find a way to make her useful and she became a danger to him), but Sakura just shut herself off and meekly obeyed his instructions until he told her to do things that she really didn't want to do, at which point she was able to stand up to him because he wasn't really expecting it and, by surrendering to him in most situations, she'd been able to protect enough of her mind to have the capacity to defy him when she wanted to. Honestly, I find it pretty hard to envisage anyone being able to crush Sakura's soul more throughly than it gets crushed in canon (especially if you include some of the bad ends...). |

I'll interpret it as one if you continue to think I can't crush Sakura's soul.
Speaking of which, just a brief update/announcement/whatever: after replaying a bit through HF and discussing it with Moczo, I've decided that I'm going to cut the third sex scene of the game from Rain and replace it with something else. I'm saying so now to hopefully avoid any backlash I'll get for it when I post the actual chapter, even if it's so far down the road at the moment that I can't even see it.

I was trying, by having these scenes back-to-back, to showcase their similar thought processes; it's for different reasons, but just the simplest little good things enter their lives and they're both right now happier than they've been since before the Fourth War. Which is actually really, really sad, but also... well... cute. Quote:

As for Sakura, I'll say that yes, Caster does have some level of influence over her, given that in a way Caster is now basically a part of her subconscious. Whether or not this ends up being good or bad for her... hmmm... depends on your perspective. Quote:

It was a good scene, though. Maybe next time. Quote:
Hee, couldn't resist adding your two cents at the end, huh? It's cool; I reply with my standard disclaimer: it'll happen if I feel it happening as I write. It's easy to make Ilya fall for Shirou, but the opposite takes some work, and if I feel like I'm not doing it well I won't do it. If it feels like it's going well to me, I will. Time will tell.

Hi, new here.
Hmm, want to throw out ideas to see if they're good or not. We see Shirou eventually become this 'hero' or not. Depending on the route this could mean different things. I want to see him training the next Hero. Old Shirou or middle aged Shirou training some OC (god I don't want to throw out an OC but I can't see any other option) to be an 'ally of justice'. I'll try writing up a first chapter or a synopsis but I'm pretty new at this writing thing. Also, god for some reason I can't help but want to see Shirou decently trained in Magecraft. Spoiler for Shirou:

It's an interesting concept. Just keep in mind that Tohsaka Rin won't go even one kilometer near Magus Killer Emiya Shirou... EDIT: One more thing. IIRC Kiritsugu himself would not be considered a decent magus, since he has little interest in magecraft aside from how to apply them at combat.
