Hmm, thinking of making a fan fiction of the 5th Holy Grail War from Shinji's perspective.
It wouldn't be the regular war, though. It would literally be Shinji's retelling of the war in a first person perspective, almost like Shinji himself is writing a fan fiction about the war. The main intent would that it would be humorous, but also be a glimpse into Shinji's mind, although perhaps exaggerated. Delusions would be rampant, like Shinji thinking Rin is actually just tsundere for him. It would probably get to the point (once it starts going into events that don't actually happen) where it becomes almost a parody of the war itself. Like Shinji fighting Servants type of parody.
It wouldn't be very serious, but it will still attempt to capture Shinji's core essence. Like Shinji's 'superiority complex' (with hints towards how he feels inferior, seeing as he is 'writing' the story), his desire to be a Magi (but at the same time, his hate for Magi) and how he feels about his father/being passed up for heir.
The end would have a rather massive plot twist, but I don't want to spoil it.
I'm not sure if I should do it, though. I know people really hate Shinji so writing a fic about him where he paints himself as amazing hero might result in nobody reading it.
Well, I think a fic which contains things like "well, now I'd better go home and fuck Sakura, the dirty slut clearly wants it" will probably not go down too well, yes....
The problem is that Shinji is an asshole, and some of the things he does are really quite horrendous. Unless you can find a way around that it's not going to come across very well.
This is going to be a bit of a huge post, for which I apologize. If this should be somewhere else or there's a better way to do this, tell me and I'll do so!
So! I have a question for y'all for a fanfiction I'm in the design stages of at the moment.
Servants in the Fate series are Heroic Spirits 'squeezed' into their Class Containers. Now, assuming we followed a Heroic-Spirit-to-be from definitively NOT HERO till they became a true Heroic Spirit, at what point do they cross the line from "Wtf is this guy being summoned for?" to "Heroic Spirit"? And at what point do they cross from being summoned as is due to being too weak, to being squeezed into their class container?
Obviously this happens, but at what point? And how?
(Side note: I know there's no Second Swing, it's just functionally identical to the First Swing from the Servant view of stats)

Armor of the Traveler A+ Rank Support
One of the most powerful Defensive and Support Phantasms in existence, this suit of armor combines technology from various potential futures and significant magic to defend and enhance its wearer. It reduces the power of any elemental or physical based attack by three ranks, physical attacks drain some of the energy of the armor. Smaller, faster items such as bullets are affected even more, reduce the power of all arrows and bullets by four ranks.
The armor can create a barrier of crystalized Mana around the wearer, creating glowing runic inscriptions upon the air. The power of this barrier is based on the amount of mana in the atmosphere around them. In Fuyuki City or other Leyline areas, it reduces the power of all attacks by one rank. In areas of normal prana distribution, it’s reduced by half a rank.
The armor’s final barrier is one that, when activated, allows Archer to ignore any attack of D Rank or lower. An attack that pierces this barrier has its power reduced by one rank while reducing power of the protection by half a rank.
The armor proper is nearly indestructible. While it doesn’t stop all damage, it reduces all incoming damage significantly, E rank attacks can barely be felt.
The armor also increases its wearers’ Strength and Agility by one rank (Noted in his statline).
In addition to its numerous lesser effects, the armor may shift its appearance at a minimal prana cost, appearing to all natural senses to be its new form, but it's protections and weight do not change.
Barrier Shield B Rank Defensive
Based on the same defensive principles as his armor, the Barrier Shield is a powerful Defensive Phantasm. The barriers it generates are identical to those the armor does, though only a plane of force rather than an all-encompassing barrier. Combined with his Armor of the Traveler, no attack may harm him.
Impossible Knowledge B Rank
Archer bears knowledge from the depths of the Kalediscope, knowing things he should not know.
Eyes of the Demon C Rank Support
Archer's eyes pierce through all illusions regardless of their rank and allow him to perform D-rank Hypnosis or D-Rank Stat reduction on any that meet his gaze.
Arsenal of the Traveler D - A Rank Anti-Personnel

Some standouts in this arsenal include Derflinger, the Null Magic sword, Babbo, the Hammer and Flail, the Widowmaker, a rifle that fires slugs of metal at hypersonic speeds, Deadeye, the plasma sniper that fires concentrated blasts of superheated plasma, and Carsomyr, a powerful holy blade.
Arsenal Bow A Rank Anti Personnel
This massive recurve bow stands as tall as Archer himself and its center is far bulkier than normal. Any arrow fired from this bow flies at an astounding speed, few arrows can even survive the hypersonic transit. Anything fired by the bow also swerves around obstacles as it seeks its target. This bow is used by Archer to fire blades from his Arsenal of the Traveler at his foes like Arrows.
Interitus A Rank Anti-Unit
The single greatest Weapon Phantasm that Archer possesses. It is a sword designed by Archer, for Archer. It is an extremely strong and dense material mixed with a fraction of Starmetal, several times heavier than a normal sword, it is suffused with prana, forged in dragon fire, with liquid Prana runes worked into its length and was quenched in his own tainted blood.
The blade vibrates faster than the eye can see at a microscopic level, the sword tearing through anything it hits like a chainsaw. It hums and moans while drawn and swung, but when it cuts it screams like twisting metal and tortured souls.
The sword is unholy, tainted by his blood, and should any other attempt to wield the sword, it shall consume a portion of the wielders health, and it is strongest in his hands. The blade reeks of hatred, enhanced again and again to be the bane of various beings and powered by its’ tainted nature and its wielders instinctive hunger it has been suffused with both. That which would harm, that which is corrupt, these are the things the blade particularly hates and seeks to destroy and consume. Even as an Unholy blade, it is also powerful against other Unholy weapons as it consumes their power.
However, while the swords’ core is the concept of “Projection and Amplification of Energy”, the weapon is a crystallization of Archers’ travels through the Kalediscope, a weapon of “Beyond”, beyond destruction, beyond time and space, beyond the Earth itself. As such, it is a weapon capable of countering Ea with its own concepts.
Its greatest power is when invoked, flooded with Archers’ Od and the surrounding Mana, it converts it all into a destructive wave of energy.
Fateless A Rank Anti-Fate
Archer is utterly immune to the powers of Fate, Destiny, and Luck. No effect drawing on these can touch him unless he chooses otherwise. Increase the power of his attacks against those particularly bound by Fate by one rank.

Even as an Unholy blade, it is also powerful against other Unholy weapons as it consumes their power.
However, while the swords’ core is the concept of “Projection and Amplification of Energy”, the weapon is a crystallization of Archers’ travels through the Kalediscope, a weapon of “Beyond”, beyond destruction, beyond time and space, beyond the Earth itself. As such, it is a weapon capable of countering Ea with its own concepts.
Its greatest power is when invoked, flooded with Archers’ Od and the surrounding Mana, it converts it all into a destructive wave of energy.
Fateless A Rank Anti-Fate
Archer is utterly immune to the powers of Fate, Destiny, and Luck. No effect drawing on these can touch him unless he chooses otherwise. Increase the power of his attacks against those particularly bound by Fate by one rank.
Archer has no luck one way or the other, represented by his E-rank Luck stat. But he may choose to have whatever luck rating he desires when facing a Luck Check.

Spoiler for “Saving Space”:
Name: [REDACTED] Class: Archer Master: Tohsaka Rin Alignment: Lawful Good
Stats:
[I]Strength: C+ Endurance: B+ Agility: C+ Mana: C (A+) Luck: E (A) Noble Phantasm: EX
Skills
Living Spirit EX Rank:
This replaces Independent Action that most Archer’s have, representing Archer’s nature as a living being summoned as a Servant.
Archer needs no support from his Master to respire Prana or resist the effects of Gaia’s attempts to correct him. However, Archer is unable to exist in this world without a Master to anchor him.
Magic Resistance A Rank
Prodigy B Rank:
The Servant is able to learn at an absolutely prodigous speed provided certain conditions are met about either how the knowledge is gained or the kind of knowledge.
When Archer is being taught a skill, he learns 40 times faster than a normal person.
Reservoir of Knowledge A+ Rank:
Archer has a massive pool of knowledge and skills to draw from. It can reasonably be assumed that he is able to perform any learnable skill at C rank. He is able to use the following skills at A rank: Riding, Eye of the Mind (True), Presence Concealment, Instinct, and Military Tactics.
Traveler’s Magic EX Rank:
Archer has a solid understanding of many different forms of magic of many different disciplines and is considered an Archmage in many worlds.
While the amount of prana he has available is relatively small, he can do things with it that would boggle the minds of even Mages from the Age of Gods.
This Skill represents Archer possessing the following skills at A rank: Territory Creation, Thaumaturgy, Rune Magic, Arcane Language, Mana Manipulation, Fade Magic, Clairvoyance, His effective Mana rating is much higher than his actual listing and is noted in his statline.
Item Creation EX
Archer can create A rank Noble Phantasms provided the time and materials.
Divinity D Rank
While himself not a demigod, Archer stole the spark of divinity from a powerful Demigod of Murder.
Weaponmaster A Rank:
Archer magically resonates with any weapon he wields, and may lay claim to any weapon he touches. While wielding a weapon, he increases all of his physical stats and skill by half a rank. This is already accounted for in his statline as his ever-present armor counts as a weapon.
Battle Continuation A+ Rank
While Lancer’s represents his determination to never give up and Berserkers represents his ability to not die, Archer’s represents a combination of his resilient body and his intense regenerative abilities. Any wound that is not decisively fatal will be healed within a day unless it bypasses his regeneration. Dragon-Bane weapons, weapons of sunlight or purifying weapons bypass his regeneration.
Uniquely, the only truly fatal blow for Archer is a blow to the head. Archer has multiple hearts that may be damaged or destroyed without damaging his spiritual core.
Transformation EX Rank
Archer can transform into one, and only one other form. That of a Dragon. In this form, Archer is unable to use his Noble Phantasms other than Fateless and most of his Skills are useless, but his Strength, Agility, Endurance, and Mana are all EX rated.
Noble Phantasms
Armor of the Traveler EX Rank Support
One of the most powerful Defensive and Support Phantasms to ever exist, this suit of armor combines magic from the Age of Gods and technology from both far flung potential futures and distant pasts. It is the greatest work of the King of All Craftsmen, and it shows.
Any attack with a physical presence in the world has its power reduced by four ranks as its power is converted harmlessly into light. Additionally, the power of any elemental or physical attack is reduced by a further three ranks as they are stopped by azure ripples in space.
The armor has a final barrier, a combination of mighty technology and powerful magic. Crystalizing Mana and plasma around the wearer, creating a glowing field and runic inscriptions around them while active. In Fuyuki City or other Leyline areas, it allows Archer to ignore any attack of C rank or lower. An attack that pierces this defense has its power reduced by 3 ranks, but reduces the strength of this barrier by half a rank. In areas of normal prana distribution, the power of this defense is reduced
The armor proper is nearly indestructible; any attack of D rank after piercing his shields simply fails to affect him. It reduces the power of any attack that hits Archer by two ranks.
The armor also increases its wearers’ physical stats by one rank.
In addition to its numerous lesser effects, the armor may shift its appearance at a minimal prana cost, appearing to all natural senses to be its new form, but it's protections and weight do not change.
Barrier Shield A+ Rank Defensive
Based on the same defensive principles as his armor, the Barrier Shield is an extremely powerful defensive phantasm in of itself. Creating a plane of various crystalized forces in front of the shield proper. The shields reduce the power of any attack with a physical presence in the world by a total of seven ranks, any attack of D rank or less that pierces that simply fails to go further and reduces its power by two ranks. The shield itself has A Rank magic resistance which stacks with Archers own.
Unlike his armor, the Barrier shield may spread its barriers to encompass a much larger area rather than just the user.
The shield itself is very large and heavy, being nearly 60 cm in diameter, made of nearly indestructible material, it is able to witstand absolutely tremendous forces and can be used as a D rank weapon in of itself with its sharpened edges.
Impossible Knowledge B Rank
Archer bears knowledge from the depths of the Kalediscope, knowing things he should not know.
Eyes of the Demon C Rank Support
Archer's eyes pierce through all illusions regardless of their rank and allow him to perform D-rank Hypnosis or D-Rank Stat reduction on any that meet his gaze.
Arsenal of the Traveler D – A+ Rank Anti-Personnel
An arsenal of weapons collected from the depths of the Kalediscope and crafted by Archer’s own hands. Weapons from potential future and Ages of the Gods, weapons of advanced technology and powerful magic.
Some standouts in this arsenal include Derflinger, the Null Magic sword, Babbo, the Hammer and Flail, the Widowmaker, a rifle that fires slugs of metal at hypersonic speeds, Deadeye, the plasma sniper that fires concentrated blasts of superheated plasma, and Carsomyr, a powerful holy blade.
Arsenal Bow A+ Rank Anti Personnel
This massive recurve bow stands as tall as Archer himself and its center is far bulkier than normal. Any arrow fired from this bow flies at an astounding speed, few arrows can even survive the hypersonic transit. Anything fired by the bow also swerves around obstacles as it seeks its target. This bow is used by Archer to fire blades from his Arsenal of the Traveler at his foes like Arrows.
Interitus A Rank Anti-Unit
The single greatest Weapon Phantasm that Archer possesses. It is a sword designed by Archer, for Archer. It is an extremely strong and dense material mixed with a fraction of Starmetal, several times heavier than a normal sword, it is suffused with prana, forged in dragon fire, with liquid Prana runes worked into its length and was quenched in his own tainted blood.
The blade vibrates faster than the eye can see at a microscopic level, the sword tearing through anything it hits like a chainsaw. It hums and moans while drawn and swung, but when it cuts it screams like twisting metal and tortured souls.
The sword is unholy, tainted by his blood, and should any other attempt to wield the sword, it shall consume a portion of the wielders health, and it is strongest in his hands. The blade reeks of hatred, enhanced again and again to be the bane of various beings and powered by its’ tainted nature and its wielders instinctive hunger it has been suffused with both. That which would harm, that which is corrupt, these are the things the blade particularly hates and seeks to destroy and consume. Even as an Unholy blade, it is also powerful against other Unholy weapons as it consumes their power.

Archer has no luck one way or the other, represented by his E-rank Luck stat. But he may choose to have whatever luck rating he desires when facing a Luck Check.
So, decided to do a massive crossover version of Fate/Zero. All the Servants summoned are from various anime/manga universes. Only have first chapter up, and it's only the actual summonings.

1. Why not Mari instead of Rei? I think that she is more suits to be Lancer.
2. Change C.C to Lelouch or Akito.
1. Rei is supposed to use the Spear of Longinus... and I don't even think Mari has ever used a lance/spear before, so I don't really see how she would qualify. Her pairing with Kirei is also based on personality, so Mari definitely does not fit. On top of those points I also just don't really like the Rebuild films.
2. Lelouch has been done plenty of times already, and Akito is a boring character (and we hardly know anything about him). C.C. adds an entire different dynamic to the mix seeing as she can give others Geass. Plus when I picked the characters I didn't solely pick because I thought they would be 'cool' or anything; each character has their own motivation for fighting which will be illustrated in the story. Lelouch really has no reason to want to fight in a war to have a wish granted. I'm sure something could be made up, but really no matter what it would be I feel it would diminish his character, and that is the one thing I really try not to do when writing fan fiction.

This one was a bit tricky seeing as AgK isn't even over yet. I don't intend to take any 'version' of her in any specific chapter; I'm sticking with the original rule that the Servants are summoned after they have lived their life (there is one exception, though). Of course this means that I am essentially creating a fan fiction ending for AgK (well, at least Esdese's ending), but I believe that what I have in mind is a pretty realistic outlook on what is going to happen in the actual series.

I wouldn't say Akito is a boring character. Have you watch the second episode of the OVA?
And Lelouch, he does have a reason to fight. Just like Shirou Kototmine of Acaporypha: Salvation. No, not for the world, but for himself.

Yeah, I have. He isn't anything special. And the lack of things we know about him is certainly still there; attempting to write him would not be fun.
Don't get me wrong, Lelouch is one of my favourite characters out of all anime (maybe my absolute favourite). His ending was perfect, but I still really think trying to build on that will only diminish his ending. I'm sure someone might be able to do it well, but frankly I don't believe I could.

Sadly, I don't know the other series' well enough to comment on them, though I'm curious how you're going to work the dynamic of Rei and Kirei.
I don't really want to spoil anything, but I'll answer your questions somewhat.
I don't think I'm going to incorporate the Eva anywhere; her NP is just going to be the Spear of Longinus. The Spear is plenty powerful enough to work on it's own, and seeing as it is literally 'alive' and has metamorphosis capabilities, in action against the other Servants it will be pretty interesting.
As for Kirei and Rei, well, it will be interesting. They both share similarities that may not seem apparent at first. Overall it may result in something drastically different from Kirei's ending in Fate/Zero.

Partially? Darn. No Eva. Mostly? Good call, though an Omake of that would be hilarious. Some things are just too broken.

Oh, there's similarities, sure, the question is, wtf do you do with that?
Hmm... All these talking has made me to think about a particular crossover scenario with Code Geass like this:
- Just before Kiritsugu married Iris, he had got the assignment to kill an Incubus. However, the man spared her half-blood child, whose name would be: "Shirou"
- Right after Iris became the Grail, Brittannia kidnapped her. Kiritsugu has to leave the children under Einzbert's hands in order to search for his wife.
- A global secret war erupted between Magnus. The Brittannian has done something that for now, everyone could summons a Servant for themself.
- Nunnally got killed, while the Lelouch was dumped to Japan.
- C.C is a Death Apostle and also knows the location of Iris. However, during Kiritsugu's attemp to rescue her, she lost her memory just before giving Lelouch Geass.
- Geass is catergoried as a Mystic Eye, and is linked to both Gaia and Alaya.
- Because C.C is the one who gave Lelouch Geass, he is hunted by everyone. In the desperate runaway from Shirou and Saber (Who is desperately wanting to find his mother), Lelouch summoned a Male Arthur for himself.
- At the same time, various Knights of the Round was summoned:
+ Gino: Tristan
+ Suzaku: Lancelot. His Berserker Enchantment is none-existance.
+ Rolo: Sir. Kay
+ Anya: Female Modred
+ Rai: Gawain
+ Akito: Bedivere
+ Orpheaus: Percival
- Britannia has developed a new technology: Knightmare, that is able to fuse the Master with Servant into one, greatly increasing the power of them. (Inspired by the manga Renya of the Darkness)
- Gaia is playing everyone, in order to make human kill Ayala ourself.
So, decided to do a massive crossover version of Fate/Zero. All the Servants summoned are from various anime/manga universes. Only have first chapter up, and it's only the actual summonings.
Is there any Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya and Fate/stay night Crossover

Other than the cancelled Prismatic Edge and the Beast's lair, "this is a mistake!" or the crossover with multiple series with IlyasvielEmiya, I don't think so. I was hoping to make one as an omake fic for Severed Bonds with Homura and Shirou joining Ilya in the card hunt.

Thanks for help
I just found Prismatic Edge
I read the first two Chapters and Because Sage of Eyes did not Updated or Published for almost a year, I'll put my Review here
I enjoyed reading the story, but there are things I did not like
1- I must say I did not like Shiro new personality I miss his innocent
2- I dislike him useing present day weapons
3- him always thinking about how good his relationship with Rin in his past life and then haveing the a opposite one with the current Rin . I just do not like his attitude with Rin and Luviagelita

1. Remember this is a Shirou that contained the memories of an experienced Shirou (probably half way to Archer path)
2. Agreed.
3. Well, the current Rin and Luvia is a bratty characters. I wouldn't get along with somebody who threw my sister into a war that could potentially kill her just because she can't contain her pride against her rival.
But I was hoping for the author to at LEAST finish the battle with Archerko and Lanceriyu vs. Saber Alter. I don't mind writing this portion but my grammar would just kill it. What I hate with this Shirou is that he ends up in many TO love ru situations with the girls with the tripping and such. I mean, this is a battle hardened Shirou right? A move like that would end him killed.
