Actually, it was the picctures which came first; initally, I 'just' wanted to echo the Hakumen poses with Drift, but then there was Saber Extra standing there looking all photo-able, and...
Anyway, this is the first of a somewhat more serious fic project I had in mind; a preview of sorts for one of my ongoing longer storylines. Spoiler for Crystallized Moments:

So... once again played through HF and I was bitten by a bunny. Plus, I need to do something to keep my mind busy while I try to work out some kinks of continuing A Change in Fate, so here we go with a new fic!

.... Not much to really say, so hit me with any and all comments.

Not much to say either, other than... well, 'cute'. I like it, and I think you've got both of the girls down pat, honestly. Sakura is believable, particularly considering her mental state at the time the story is set, and Rin... yeah, Rin talks big, but we know she's a fluffy bunny at heart. Nice beginning. |

But, yeah, Mozco is entirely right here. For all Rin's tough talk, she is no more likely (in my view) to be able to kill Sakura if she's given the time to actually think about it than Shirou was. Hell, she shows as much at the end of HF. And, yeah, Sakura begging to be killed is entirely plausible, given her mental state at that point. I do wonder where it'll go from here, though. Presumably Shirou is going to be running around Fuyuki like a headless chicken for some time, because I suspect that where she's going is just about the last place that he'll think to look.... |

Or she could just send Archer to tell him. That could be fun too.

Whilst he might well decide to check his own house, eventually, if she's not there he'd likely head right back out and keep searching. Quote:

Yeah, she'd have to send Archer to fetch him, because he'd just keep running. Tired? Mr. "I run from my house to the church without a break" would keep running till he collapsed.

So I should be working on my math homework, but no, I had the idea for this and couldn't quit until I'd finished it. Ugh. I hate plotbunnies sometimes.

Yes, this is a very well-written fic, and Rin and Sakura's interactions are well-done too. This is a very interesting set-up, and I wonder where you're going to take it....
Spoiler for Fate/Zero:
You're right that Aoi likely went to a mental institution of some kind, since Rin sure as hell couldn't care for her as a five-year-old, and she would likely get in the way somewhat. As far as her death is concerned, according to a translation of one of the Side Material books that someone posted on Beast's Lair a while back, she died of an illness sometime before FSN. I don't think she was capable of suicide. |

Well, I guess until otherwise then I can keep it as it is; I could even say "this is what Rin heard and believes" if I don't feel like changing it. I'd just like to stay as close to the translated material as I can so nothing I write contradicts canon too much... especially since the whole fic itself will end up AU anyway.

Well, the fact that it's translated doesn't make it any less true, but Rin would almost certainly not know what happened to her mother in the fourth war, because there is no-one other than Kotomine who could tell her, and I doubt he would have done so given that it would make him look bad. The only bit that might need changing is the "suicide" thing.

So lately I've been thinking a bit, and I was hoping I could ask for some opinions on this, because I do need a bit of help in deciding.
I made the decision awhile back to continue A Change in Fate, and then set it aside so I could work out some kinks of how the plot would flow with Saber still alive. However, while doing this I started working on Into The Rain and sort of ran into a small roadblock: both fics essentially have the same ending (or at least, I have the same ending in mind for them; I'm aiming for something similar to HF True, unless my plotbunny gets mean). Now, granted, I realize this isn't much of a stumbling block because the two ideas behind getting to the end are wildly different; A Change in Fate focuses on Saber surviving and living with her corruption, while Into The Rain focuses on Rin finding Sakura first and the effect that would have had on the characters' relationships with each other. As a result, the way they ultimately shape up will also be different, and the path taken to the end will be different. So I guess what I want to ask is, am I over thinking this? Or should I drop one in favor of the other? Because it kind of bugs me that two fics I'm working on have the same (or a very similar) ending, even if the overall story is going to be different.
