History Fanfic / PassingDays

* TrueCompanions: Vy's "Big Seven" of Grailed Servants is shown to have become a close-knit group by Day 33, where they're found playing a game of Uno in their own special lounge in Chaldea while passively arguing about what color is best in the deck. It's also how Vy bests [[TheAce Wodime]], because they all work so well together in a fight they don't even have to outwardly ''talk'' due to the Grails and how long they've been together as a group. Other chapters have shown Arturia, Robin, and Achilles talking via {{Telepathy}} to Vy.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Thanks to being part of Vy's Grailed "Big Seven", Robin and Achilles often bicker and snark at each other, with a dash of BashBrothers coming into play whenever they're fighting together on Vy's behalf in the Lostbelts. Achilles even gets away at teasing Robin about what happened between him and Vy in the Ooku during Day 32, much to Robin's embarrassment.

** This also applies to both Skadi and Morgan. Skadi is from a timeline where [[spoiler:Surtr]]destroyed ''EVERYTHING''. While Morgan's from a world where [[spoiler:Oberon-Vortigern]] quickly wrecked Britain.

* {{Workaholic}}: Vy basically is the ''definition'' of a workaholic, implied to have gone about working herself silly just to get the Embers and Skill gems to Ascend all the Servants she contracted with. Not to mention get the fighting power to fight Goetia and the Crypters in Parts 1 and 2. It's become a sticking point/prominent first impression for any newcomers to Chaldea's Servant roster.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Day 68 shows Olga-Marie's canonical {{Jerkass}} attitude towards the Chaldean Master when she starts berating Vy for not being a better Master or even being Lev, demanding her to summon more Servants. Unlike Ritsuka in canon, who the player can direct to be a DeadpanSnarker in return, Olga's treatment results in Vy (who was already panicked from the whole situation in Fuyuki if not for Mash saving her, as seen in Day 13) being driven to tears from the verbal backlash. It takes Dr. Roman and Mash giving Olga a WhatTheHellHero and even Cu Chulainn Caster casting a silence rune on her for the situation to not get worse. Even then, when Olga later starts tearing into Diarmuid for his Love Spot, it creates more tension.

** Mash herself has a change of heart in Day 18 after an emotional talk with Vy before the end of the Indian Lostbelt, resolving [[ForWantOfANail not to tell Asha the exact details of what happened to her father]] out of SurvivorsGuilt.

* ForWantOfANail: In ''spades''. A few notable examples include:
** The summoned Scathach-Skadi is an AlternateSelf to the original, where she came from a timeline where Chaldea failed to arrive and Surtr destroyed her Scandinavian Lostbelt, making this Skadi a SoleSurvivor and TheResenter towards the Crypters. It is thanks to Vy summoning Skadi during Part 1.5 before the advent of the Lostbelts that lets Skadi pull a BigDamnHeroes on Vy against Kadoc and Anastasia in the first Lostbelt.
** From Vy Grailing ''seven'' Servants by the time Chaldea comes to Atlantis (Arturia Pendragon, Robin Hood, Achilles, Ereshkigal, Ryougi Shiki, the aforementioned Skadi, and Berserker Musashi), she gives ''Wodime'' the CurbstompBattle thanks to simple teamwork not letting him cast "Anima Animusphere." This feat is repeated in Olympus, thanks to Vy Grailing Space Ishtar and Meltryllis in time to throw Wodime off-guard ''again'' while she starts the battle herself with a well-timed GroinAttack.
** Vy summons Xiang Yu before Chaldea enters the Chinese Lostbelt, resulting in Hinako having a near VillainousBreakdown at the prospect of fighting her beloved husband while Gao Changgong barely functions out of an incoming HeroicBSOD.
** It is mentioned in Day 28 that thanks to Achilles using his [[ChekhovsGun shield]] in the prologue of Atlantis, the Shadow Border and Nemo avoided some of the damage that occurred from Artemis' arrow.
** Arturia and Mordred actually make amends with each other in Day 16.
** Day 20 marks the return of Caster Da Vinci after her end in the Lostbelt Prologue, allowing for her and Rider Da Vinci to coexist while also letting Caster be the TeamMom to Mash and Vy again.
** Extra Day 4 establishes that because Vy had used Holy Grails on Arturia, Achilles, and Robin, all three were able to escape Kama's grasp when they seized control of Novum Chaldea to make the Ooku. It's thanks to the Grails that Robin was able to fight his implied PainfulTransformation into a green skeleton puppet (originally an EasterEgg enemy in-game) despite him not being close by Vy and Mash for Sion to keep him out of the initial corruption; even then, Vy having Arturia and Achilles by her side while traversing the Ooku allowed her to save him from any more TransformationHorror.
** Saber Musashi notably is SparedByTheAdaptation after her HeroicSacrifice in Olympus, being successfully summoned back to Novum Chaldea as a full-time Servant thanks to Vy holding onto her tsuba eyepatch from Shimosa in Day 34. Because of this, she's able to tag along with Vy to Heian-kyo (thanks to her connection with her Grailed Berserker self), breaking Ashiya Douman's ControlFreak tendencies with the Singularity alongside Robin to fight with him.
** Thanks to Vy summoning Morgan before entering the British Lostbelt, no one in the Chaldea ragtag party falls into the Dracae's river in Day 65.

*** Oberon is noted to be escorted by Morgan in handcuffs during his first two weeks in Novum Chaldea in Day 67, the cuffs not even coming off after he gains enough trust to be allowed to walk around the facility on his own.

*** From the very same chapter, it is noted in passing how BB and Goredolf both are placed into required re-education classes thanks to their botching the training simulator to summon Kiara that caused Passionlip's situation with Vy in the first place, Mash making it clear in Day 55 that she was barely acting on her TranquilFury when declaring her intent to talk to Goredolf about the issue with Holmes.

*** Kama deals with outright distrust and suspicion from Robin in Day 33
*** Kadoc is put into solitary confinement from his own infirmary bed by the Grailed, with Anastasia assigned to be his only caretaker in Day 63 (albeit after Anastasia asks the Grailed for permission to do so)

** The Servants themselves are not exempt from holding their grudges, because as Kama, Kadoc, and even Oberon can attest to in their respective chapters, it's made clear they're not forgiven for their canon actions. Kama deals with outright distrust and suspicion from Robin in Day 33; Kadoc is put into solitary confinement from his own infirmary bed by the Grailed, with Anastasia assigned to be his only caretaker in Day 63 (albeit after Anastasia asks the Grailed for permission to do so); and Oberon is noted to be escorted by Morgan in handcuffs during his first two weeks in Novum Chaldea in Day 67, the cuffs not even coming off after he gains enough trust to be allowed to walk around the facility on his own.

** In Day 63, Kadoc is faced with the disgust of Ryougi Shiki, Asagami Fujino, and even Chaldea's version of Anastasia when waking up from his coma post-Olympus when attempting to claim he could've been a better Master than Vy. All three call him out in their own words about how shameful it is to shove his insecurities onto Vy in an attempt to make himself look good when his current actions prove he could never have won their UndyingLoyalty like Vy did. Shiki even goes on to point her knife into Kadoc's face, noting how his flinching made him so pathetic in her eyes to the point of not being worth killing - putting the final nail in his coffin by saying even if Kadoc had taken Vy's place, Shiki would've never acknowledged him as her Master.

This marks the beginning of [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27772480/chapters/67985584 Passing Days]] and its protagonist, Vy Duong, who unlike Fujimaru Ritsuka from the original ''VideoGame/{{Fate Grand Order}}'', is an unofficial certified workaholic and a clingy AllLovingHeroine who just can't leave the people around her alone. Whether it's quietly adopting Mash as a little sister beyond the original SenpaiKohai dynamic or making muffins for TheCynic Robin Hood, it's her actions and personality that changes how the Grand Order goes.

** Mash outright says it to Vy in Day 13's final segment after the end of the Russian Lostbelt, repeating Vy's PlatonicDeclarationOfLove she made back before the Temple of Time while reaffirming their SenpaiKohai relationship.

** Day 20 marks the return of Caster Da Vinci after her end in the Lostbelt Prologue, allowing for her and Rider Da Vinci to coexist while also letting Caster be the TeamMom to [[SenpaiKohai Mash and Vy]] again.

** This also applies to both Skadi and Morgan. Skadi is from a timeline where [[spoiler:Surtr]]destroyed ''EVERYTHING''. While Morgan's from a world where [[spoiler:Oberon-Vortigern]]quickly wrecked Britain.

** Waver Velvet/El-Melloi II is implied in Day 8 to have started recovering from his experiences in ''LightNovel/FateZero'', having casual conversation with Irisviel and looking after Vy to make sure she doesn't turn out like him.

** Day 52 has Chiron remember Fiore and Caules from ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'' when taking care of Vy, noting how she is more human than both Yggdemilenia siblings combined thanks to not being tied down by Magecraft.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Heavily implied to be in place for Vy after Part 1 is resolved with [[AFatherToHisMen Dr. Roman's]] passing. Many of the Servants express worries on how much more Vy can handle because of his absence (not helped by how Vy saw him as a ParentalSubstitute for her own father), and is a large reason why they formed their TrueCompanions dynamic to begin with. Nightingale's chapter explores the lack of medical professional help because of how she was summoned into Chaldea after Dr. Roman's disappearance, contrasting canon and how she seems to have been summoned by Ritsuka in Part 1. The situation is finally changed for the better in Day 52, where Chiron steps up after [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/43720848 a long and bad simulator battle stunt on Vy's part post-Olympus]] to take care of her and start listening to a lot of the problems she's shouldered since. Because he's been the mentor to so many heroes in Proper Human History, not to mention his time in ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'', Asclepius even says in another side story Chiron's probably the most qualified to take on the therapist role in Dr. Roman's place.

** Day 56 ends with Passionlip attempting to apologize to Vy for her BrutalHonesty regarding her battle tactics and choices in Grailed Servants, but Vy admits not being able to forgive her, both because of Lip pushing her TraumaButton and making her doubt why she Grails Servants in the first place. The other Servants share the same sentiment, with Day 55 showing Robin all but spelling out to Passionlip that if she hurts Vy again, ''he'' reserves the right not to forgive her just as she hasn't forgiven him for what happened in ''Fate/Extra: CCC''.
