History YMMV / InFlight

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Miya says that why Shirou can't do something for her to properly punish him. Well, when she finally does so, she's been blasted thorugh a wall by a Fraga clan member and half of Izumo is torn. Could count as HilariousInHindsight if you're mean or just don't like Miya.

* BrokenBase: The Twenty-Eighth Wing divided the fanbase between those who thought it was a small slump in quality (having come after a hiatus of four months) and those who consider it perhaps the weakest chapter to date ([[MoodWhiplash for]] [[AntiClimax various]] [[OverusedRunningGag reasons]]). The story itself becomes that much more divisive as time passes, really - almost anyone thought the early chapters were excellent, but as the particular ''type'' of story becomes clearer to them, more of them are dissatisfied.

* HilariousInHindsight: Shiina relying on [[GenderBender Homura]] as a male role model.

* HoYay: [[{{Bishonen}} Homura]] was the first Sekirei that Shirou winged.

* FoeYay: Shirou and Karasuba. This is probably what caused her to react to him.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: [[GoodScarsEvilScars Ironically (and interestingly)]], Lancer is one of the few Grail War opposing participants Shirou has both a relatively good opinion of ''and'' who he doesn't condemn for his actions. Compare those GB reckons Shirou ''must'' dislike: Shinji, Gil and Kirei are pretty much his mental {{Butt Monkey}}s, the former two so disliked they're the only people he'd not feel sorry for if they had Homura's [[GenderBender condition]] (though in Shinji's case Shirou notes that it would be somewhat of a karmic punishment.); Rider he didn't see enough of to see her good sides; [[FutureMeScaresMe Archer]] he considers to be trying to haunt him; and for Caster, he reserves a PrecisionFStrike. Just ...
** ...[[MST3KMantra try not to think too much about some of these opinions - particularly Shinji and Caster - may or may not contradict canon]], because you may get an ulcer, and Gabriel Blessing is not the kind of person who bothers to go back and rewrite mistakes or revise chapters (he didn't even edit the sparse few uses of 'Akizu' instead of 'Akitsu' in Chapter 2 for goodness sake, even though he ''did'' correct the spelling thereafter).

* GameBreaker: [[spoiler:Karasuba]]

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Shirou's previous landlord. In the manga he was a gruff and unpleasant old man, who kicked Minato out of his room almost out of spite. In the FanFic he turns out to be a relatively decent though still gruffy fellow, giving Shirou a week to find a new place, offering him a job with good pay, recommending him to his fellow landlords, and even paying him more than they agreed on. The fact that [[NiceGuy Shirou]] [[SamaritanRelationshipStarter goes out of his way to help the landlord]] [[JustifiedTrope probably helped.]]

* {{Moe}}: [[TokenMiniMoe Kusano]] is absolutely ''adorable''.
** Shirou even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this many times.

* ColbertBump: Many ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' fans didn't know the existence of ''Manga/{{Sekirei}}'' before reading this FanFic, and vice-versa.

* TheInternetIsForPorn: Meta example. On the [[http://forum.fanfiction.net/forum/The_Mechanics_of_In_Flight/88086/ Fanfiction.net Forums]], the {{fandom}} has apparently been asking for GB to branch into citrus territory since Chapter 20, judging from the timestamps.
** [[spoiler: Then Chapter 23 happened. [[http://anime.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600051702 And provided]]. (NSFW)]]

* {{Shipping}}: Many readers like shipping Shirou/[[{{LadyOfWar}} Miya]] even though - [[WordofGod according to Gabriel Blessing]] - [[ShipSinking while Miya and Shirou will be getting closer, they will be very good friends at the most]], much to the {{Fandom}}'s dismay.

** IronWoobie: Shirou, and probably Homura as well.
