9A small corollary before we start: there has yet to be a division between ''Fate/stay night'' and ''Literature/FateZero'' stories in Fanfiction.net. The yardstick is that if it uses ''Fate/stay night'' characters and events as the main driving force of the story, it belongs here. If it crosses with ''Fate/Zero'', please note so.

11Well then, with that out of the way... These are recommendations made by tropers for ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' fanfics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. After a few samples, you will probably be able to judge whether you might be interested in the story based on who recommended it. No-name recommendations will be consumed by the Shadow. Nobody would back up the recommendation.
12
13Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be. You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. You can do it by leaving a review, but please make sure it is substantive, or if you do not wish to leave a review by simply adding your handle to the "recommended by" line. Refrain from posting Administrivia/ConversationInTheMainPage, though; that goes in the discussion page.

15Do warn when a fanfic may head into non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

35* Recommended by Captchacritter, Stevethecornmuffin, Darandomuser, nitewind, @/{{Pastykake}}
36* Arashi's speciality - strong characterization (such as nearly flawless control over writing the sort development he wants his Shirou Emiya, in the case of FSN fanfiction, to experience in order to be a "protagonist" for a certain type of story) and tasteful, thought-provoking thematic elements within his writing. Arashi also has a good handle on action scenes for when the story calls for it, Nasuworldbuilding as relevant, and romance. An up-and-coming powerhouse in fanfiction, though as of late he's been slipping in output speed when compared to his old days. A few of his works happen to be individually recommended below, uncoincidentally.
37* Some jumps in logic that require suspense of disbelief might be necessary for a few instances in a select few of his stories, but overall they're still notably high quality AND in high numbers to boot.

41* Recommended by Chaosjunction, Aokuchi, nitewind, @/{{Pastykake}}
42* As the name suggests, this is the fanworks thread over on Beast's Lair, one of the best Type-Moon fansites. Many great stories, including some of those recommended here, can by found on this thread. Note that the [[http://nrvnqsr.proboards.com original site]] was shut down by [=ProBoards=] at short notice. Many of the stories have since been put back up. Note also that most threads on Beast's Lair have massive amounts of discussion and off topic posting so story-centric navigation can range anywhere from "difficult" to "flat out impossible" for authors who do not post links to chapters. BL also has its own [[http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread.php/5337-Recommended-Type-Moon-Fanfics-Discussion-III-FSN-is-the-sequel-to-FZ Recommended Fanfiction]] page, which has many stories there that aren't even yet on this particular list.

46* Recommended by darkestjudgmentisblack, Captchacritter, Darandomuser, nitewind, Cherry_Lover, @/{{Pastykake}}
47* A very prominent figure within the English-speaking Type-MOON fan community, and with good reason: the quality and quantity of her work is approved by a great majority of said community because of witty dialogues, a feel for storytelling, and a dollop of written erotica here and there to spice things up. Elf's many works have gotten much exposure through the years. She's notably a fan of Archer, and most of her works will proudly and prominently feature the Counter Guardian. She knows how to have everyone in her stories have fun without reaching the proverbial "what the derp am I reading" levels, though as per usual Your Mileage May Vary there since she tends to use ''Fate/hollow ataraxia''-styled scenarios as her bread and butter. Elf is also a published author, so if you find that you like her works you can check out more of those on her appropriate webpages. Some of her work happens to be individually recommended below in the lower sections, too.

52* Megkips has a modest collection of short stories mostly focused on the timeline of Waver Velvet, starting with scenes with Rider in the fourth war and moving through his days as Lord El-Melloi II; a lot of them involve his mentoring of Rin, so the rec' is posted here as well. There are also a few focusing on Iskandar or Gilgamesh. The prose in all of them is beautifully written, and the grammar is great.

61* Vel is especially famous (infamous?) for writing [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6859461/1/I-Put-On-My-Robe-And-Wizard-Hat I Put on my Robe and Wizard Hat]] (see below for more details). He knows just when to lay down the silly and fun and when to bring on the truly awesome and entertaining. His choices in subject matter are varied and it seems as if he has no shortage of quirky ideas that just beg to be written. However, in spite of his willingness to hit up humor, it's not mindless comedy and actually is quite canon-compliant, thoughtful, and free-minded, which is either wholly underappreciated or misused by lesser authors. If you like CrazyIsCool sprinkled with touches of drama to taste then perhaps this is a cat for you. Also has a Fanfiction.net account for other works not necessarily of the Type-MOON variety in the form of [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2589971/Velsper56 Ol'Velsper]]

81* Recommended by transparentanswer, @/{{Pastykake}}

83* ''Synopsis'': Ten years after Kiritsugu Emiya summoned a Servant that should have been out of reach, the First Hassan-i-Sabbah, the original Old Man of the Mountain, the Fifth Holy Grail War has begun. Shirou Emiya, Master to an Assassin whose very existence threatens to tear him apart, must finish what his father began- and the First Hassan is not the only impossibility that stalks Fuyuki City.
84* ''Comments'': An AU where Shirou summons the first Hassan-i-Sabbah, the Old Man of The Mountain, instead of Saber in the Grail War. Things stayed the same yet there are subtle changes brought by the fact that Kiritsugu and Shirou summon Assassin. [[spoiler:[[FirstEpisodeTwist Gilgamesh's]] DeathByAdaptation before the start of ''Fate/stay night'' and Sakura being the master of Medb instead of Medusa]] are some of the examples. Integrates lore from later Nasuverse works, especially ''Fate/Grand Order''. --transparentanswer

89* ''Synopsis'': The long separated lovers who reunited in Avalon awaken to the prologue of mankind's destruction. Prompted by the sight of Fuyuki in flames, they set forth to fight together once more.
90* ''Comments'': An interesting What-If regarding Shirou and Saber, who just like Merlin, reside in Avalon. Thus beyond the destruction of humanity, they are called forth to help out Chaldea during their first Singularity. Based on the First Order OVA to a large part, but similar enough to the game to not matter.

115* ''Status'': Dormant
116* ''Synopsis'': Shirou Kotomine was found by his adopted father the day of the Fuyuki City Fire, and trained under the priest for 10 years to follow in his footsteps as an Executor. Still, Shirou never really trusts the man, and the bleakness of the hidden world of magic does little to help his worldview. When the Holy Grail Chose him for the next war, Fire will beget more Fire.
117* ''Comments'': An interesting AU where Shirou was instead found and adopted by Kotomine, trained in the ways of the Executor and participates in the fifth Holy Grail war.

152* Comments: A story in which Ilya summons [[Literature/FateApocrypha Mordred, the Knight of Treachery]] as her Berserker Servant. This unlikely duo of children with serious abandonment issues proves itself to be quite the entertaining pair, and their interactions change things quite a bit from canon (not the least of which is the fact that Mordred actually has the ability to speak with Ilya, unlike Heracles). In addition, [[spoiler:[[Literature/FateApocrypha Jeanne d'Arc as Ruler]] also makes an appearance, along with both [[Literature/FateZero Lancelot]] and [[VideoGame/FateExtra Gawain]] as her "retainers"]]. There's plenty of moments of funny and awesome throughout the story, and a big part of it seems to be building up [[spoiler:Ilya and her Servant beginning to reconcile with their family members, along with a battle with Gilgamesh]]. Highly entertaining, would recommend to any Mordred fans or anyone wanting to see a story with her in the original Fifth Holy Grail War.

222* ''Status'': 6 'routes' completed.
223* ''Synopsis'': Self-insert. A jaded, cynical, helplessly optimistic schemer finds himself as the adopted brother of a female Shirou, both orphaned survivors of the Fuyuki fire. Armed with Kiritsugu's inherited magecraft and knowledge of the Nasuverse, he enters the Grail War as both Master and Servant.
224* ''Comments'': An extremely creative story that explores the Nasu-multiverse, its magic, and the Holy Grail system, conveyed in a comfortable writing style. A story full of fantastic twists and turns, character conflict, unexpected humor, spectacular battles and a healthy dose of sarcastic wit.

230* ''Synopsis'': The year is 1817. The date is 31st of January. The location is the booming town of Fuyuki. Japan is under the Sakoku, forbidding any foreigner from entering the country. Even so, six foreigners risk their lives to sneak into the country…In order to witness a miracle.
231* ''Comments'': While the story is only just getting started it is an amazingly interesting tale of the creation of and fighting the First Holy Grail War. Amazingly, our protagonist seems t be a young Zouken Matou, known here as Makiri Zolgen. The writing and characterization so far are excellent.

Any liberties taken with canon fit rather naturally, and the writer tries to retain the same kind of tone used in the visual novel while storytelling.

242* Recommended by brightwing
243* ''Status'': Dormant
244* ''Synopsis:'' World war, in Latin. That's right, a world war with Servants instead of tanks and guns. Takes place away from Fateverse, with heroes and masters hailing from their respective nations replacing canon ones along with Fuyuki city for the battlefield. Six factions: European Union with Germany, Greece and Italy. Asian Federation with China, Japan, India and the Middle East. The United Kingdom has Britain and Ireland with the Americas coerced into an alliance. The States of Africa and finally, Polynesia.
245* Comments: This has to be hands down the best AU Fate fanfiction I've read. If you've wanted to take a break from the canon characters for a while and read about different ones in the Fate setting, this is well worth a read. The story is excellently written and has a flow that grips you till the end. And the characters especially, nicely fleshed out and memorable. The author took care to stay away from the more common heroes people inadvertently use for stories like this while still keeping true to the feel of Fate. --brightwing

Of special interest are the developments in the rest of the ''FSN'' canon cast; Saber and Taiga are the same as always, but ''Sakura''... well... see for yourself.

256* Recommended by Tropers/CaellachTigerEye, @/{{Electroninja}}, nitewind, @/{{Pastykake}}
257* ''Status'': Dormant
258* ''Synopsis'': It turns out a single Excalibur is not enough to completely destroy the Grail, and Shirou's unwitting comment "to go back" is interpreted by it as a wish to "go back" in time to the start of the Fifth Holy Grail War.
259* ''Pairing'': Shirou/Saber
260* ''Comments'': PeggySue fanfics in the ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' universe--at least, those with Shirou going back to the start of the 5th War--are a rare breed, and P.S. fics which are actually ''good'' are proportionately rarer. Which makes this fic stand out even more as a result, mostly because despite the intended ending being a ForegoneConclusion, Shirou simply going back in time does ''not'' equal pwnage, particularly since he's coming back from the "Fate" route and doesn't know as much about events as he might think (though he ''is'' more skilled and [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap has ditched his infamous sexism and (most of) his bullheaded stupidity]]). Also, his hastiness (and approach) to changing things is flawed: not only does [[spoiler: the first fight with Berserker end with Shirou in ''worse'' condition than before]], but [[spoiler: Rin becomes ''wary'' of him, because his reactions & claims regarding the War don't match up]]. Chapter 6 proves that the author is ''not'' handing out happy endings on a silver platter, making it that much easier to care about what happens to the cast.

284* ''Comments:'' ''Hollow Fake'' is a quest set up on Sufficient Velocity, and the direction it takes is influenced by the votes of the readers. This means that the reader base has a stake in who lives, who dies, and how events unfold, leading to many interesting debates between chapters. The quest also incorporates elements and servants from many other ''Fate'' properties, including ''VideoGame/FateExtra'', ''Literature/FateApocrypha'', ''Literature/FateZero'', ''Literature/FateStrangeFake'', and ''VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia''.

300* ''Comments'': An interesting story that takes the old concept of the 'self-insert' and does away with the concept of abusing metaknowledge to change the course of events. Rather than the author inserting himself, he instead inserts a friend of his who is, to the surprise of everyone, completely blind to the Fate series! A fun, if not mildly sadistic, blind romp through an old classic soon follows. (Also, if you intend to post in-thread, please read the rules and respect the fact that the friend insert is supposed to remain blind to upcoming events.)

Unfortunately, it looks as though the Holy Grail wasn't destroyed as thoroughly as everyone hoped and a new Grail War is starting. Not only that, but though Shinji may be dead, Zouken Matou is still alive and plotting. Follows the Fate route but incorporates much of Heaven's Feel. Also features UBW, Ilya goodness, Shirou, Rin, Ilya, Saber, and [[spoiler:Avenger]] saving Sakura, and a whole new cast of Servants (except Saber and Rider).

It shows what would happen if Kiritsugu trained Shirou properly with his magecraft as well as telling him not to become a superhero.

426* ''Synopsis'': The Great Fuyuki Fire never happened, and Shirou was never orphaned. But ten years later, Grail War 5 happens anyways and sure enough, Shirou's got his Command Seals. But life as a modern teenager has given Shirou something potentially more valuable than Kiritsugu's ideals: exposure to 4chan, and the ability to successfully troll ''everyone'' and ''everything''.
427* ''Comments:'' Epic crackfic. The first half uses a lot of 4chan memes and Internet humor for comedy, but uses them ''magnificently'', particularly Archer's use of the Old Spice routine and Rin's first exposure to the Internet. [[CerebusSyndrome Then comes]] the "epic" part, as everybody pulls out all the stops in a huge, desperate final battle. Features a Shirou/Ilya pairing by way of strategic use of [[SheIsAllGrownUp Teen!Ilya]].

433* ''Pairings'': hints of possible Shirou x Reines or Shirou x Luvia, and Aoi x Kariya
434* ''Synopsis'': Zelretch gives Zouken his humanity back, on the same day Sakura is given away. A few years later and we have a not!broken Sakura actively chasing after/closing the gap with Rin, Rin is spending summers in the Clock Tower, Aoi rekindling her friendship with Kariya, and Shirou being taken into Lord Waver El-Melloi II's care.
435* ''Comments'': As an AU it makes use of a certain vampiric deus ex machina, but it surprisingly works well for that. Sakura is calculating to an extent and ambitious, as expected of studying under a top-tier magus (and no rape worms to boot the crows in the title are not figurative), but isn't particularly obsessed much less evil, and while she tells Rin to the face that she doesn't intend to lose, she doesn't mind a draw either, setting up what looks like a friendly if heated rivalry as opposed to the Edison-Tesla grudge match to the death that Tokiomi wanted. The author also explores Aoi Tohsaka, who survived thanks to butterflies, making her more than the flat character she was in canon. Ditto for Kariya, while Shirou under Waver's tutelage is portrayed as honest and naive, but not stupid...which is a possible hint from the author that despite the story's thus far generally-lighthearted and fluffy theme, things might still go down the drain in the future.

461* ''Synopsis:'' With the death of Akiha Tohno, the last thing supporting the life of Shiki Nanaya disappears. Seeing her father slowly fade from her life, Takara Aozaki, ignorant of her power, calls out across the aether to the only existence that can save her sickly father.
462* ''Comments:'' This story is the "Fate Prototype" that managed to see daylight. The epic tale of a grail war as biting as that of Stay/Night and Zero, it follows Takara Aozaki and her mysterious servant Lancer as they are sucked into a world of mages and Heroes. As they match their desires against their foes and try to survive, the remnants of the last war and a madman seeking to perfect his immortality make their own marks. The characterizations of Saber and Arcueid are especially striking and apropos of what might have been. The 6th war is a twisted reflection of the 5th just as that was to the 4th. If Kiritsugu's story in the 4th war paralleled the Epic of Gilgamesh and Shiro embarked on a grail quest in the 5th, then this depiction of the 6th war shares more with traditional epics like that of the Argonauts, Star Wars, etc. Whether written by Nasu, Urobuchi, or Kieren, they all are page turners.

If the nerves converted into magic circuits ''did'' in fact stay active, then Shirou could wind up as one of the most over-powered mages to ever live without ever realizing it.

518* ''Synopsis'': In the history of the Holy Grail Wars, one family has been desperate to win - more than any other. This is the story of that their successor, of the search for the catalyst of the strongest Hero. This is the story of a young girl, uncertain of her destiny. A simple tale carried to extremes - it is but a tale of ''humanity.''
519* ''Comments'': Set in the Balkans, Njeri is a deeply...human story (indeed, the title is Albanian for "human"), with Illyasviel von Einzbern and her homunculi companions setting out on a journey to a warzone to seek the catalyst for the strongest of heroes. But physical danger is the least of their concerns, as ghosts of the past dog them at every turn, and few things in the Nasuverse are quite what they seem to be. Refreshing for the uniqueness of the premise, the atmospheric quality of the author's work, and its look on Illya. The tension and confusion of a warzone, of the journey, were obvious, and the atmosphere...remarkable. This is an author to watch.

624* ''Synnopsis'': At the very start of the Holy Grail War, Shirou is attacked by Ilya and Berserker before ever summoning Saber. Somehow, in his panicked attempt to escape he summons all six other Servants.
625* ''Comments'': Easily the funniest Type-MOON fic I've ever read. It starts out interesting and mildly dramatic, but quickly becomes a hilarious CrackFic of epic proportions. Especially funny is the ways all of Shirou's Servants interact with each other. --Tropers/{{Electroninja}}

631 Updated as of July 11, 2018
632* ''Synopsis:'' Follows Bad End #1. Shirou is as good as dead, but the war will go on without him. Unwilling to give up her chance at the Grail just yet, Saber seeks out the remnants of the Makiri family hoping to find a new master, and finds herself enlisted by Zouken as a back-up Servant and bodyguard for Sakura.
633* ''Comments:'' Shirou fans should be warned that several scenes go into rather graphic detail of what exactly Ilya is doing to [[AndIMustScream his severed head]] (hint: power tools are involved), and Ilya fans should be noted that the psycho moeblob is ''not'' being portrayed very sympathetically. On the other hand, ''Sakura'' fans should note that the series seems to be headed in the direction of making her Shirou's stand-in as main character and Grail War Hero(ine). Everyone else should note that this is ''not'' a DarkFic despite Shirou being dead [[NotQuiteDead (sort of, it's a bit complicated)]]; although Sakura being one of the main characters means significant amounts of angst are involved, there are also flashes of humor here and there and the author has done a bang-up job of recreating the overall feel of the series.

Ruler/Jeanne d'Arc is summoned by possessing Laeticia and investigates the Grail War. Meanwhile, when Chaldea was bombed and Ritsuka (Female), Mash, Olga, and Fou escape with a Rayshift, they land in this version of Fuyuki and get caught up in the Grail War.

[[spoiler:Reika Rikudou has Mordred as Saber, Atrum Galliasta has Perseus as Rider, and Shinji somehow has Cu Chulainn as Caster. (Since Caster can gather his own mana, he's not handicapped by having Shinji for a Master). Also, this version of Shirou knows nothing about magecraft, as Kiritsugu apparently never taught him.]]

697* ''Comments:'' One of several stories by Kieran and several other authors set in the same continuity. The insert characters for this fic are Saber and Kieran's self-insert Kurai (who happily enough is ''not'' your typical self-insert) along with Ilya and other characters acting as MissionControl. Replacing Tidus with a heroic spirit and [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons an epic level druid]] might not seem like the most interesting decision, but Kieran is very much a proponent of the stance that "one who makes Frodo a jedi [[FromBadToWorse must give Sauron the Death Star]]": [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2 Shuyin and Vegnagun]] are extremely likely to become problems in addition to Sin, which has mistaken Saber and Kurai for rogue aeons and is now ''[[OhCrap actively hunting them]]''.]]

714* ''Comments'':
715** Crossovers between two magic-world-based universes tend to end in one getting bashed or using the other to turn into a shameless self-insert fic, particularly more so for many ''Fate'' and ''Harry Potter'' crossovers. Here, however, is something different. The characters are basically the same, set during ''the Order of the Phoenix'' for Harry Potter and 10 years after an end that is somewhat based off the UBW good end for denizens of the ''Fate'' universe. The story is well written and the characters aren't turned into something unrecognizable. There are a few bits that might seem off from the canon of either universe, naturally, but these don't do anything to demerit the story.
716** Furthermore, despite the fic not being a humour or a parody, the author can and has written in plenty of hilarious moments throughout the narrative.
717** Should be noted it's less of an action/adventure and more of an academic study/magical comparison fic so far, though that's no demerit to the story at all which is still a good read. Nevertheless, some might find it a little odd that as far as plot development goes it hasn't progressed too much in its nearly 100,000 words at this point.

819* ''Synopsis:'' Kiritsugu takes Shirou to Misaki City on a trip to see a physician for his illness, and one day wandering down the street on a rainy day he stumbles across a young redheaded girl in a Kimono without an umbrella and decides to walk her home. Years later, after the events of the Grail War, Shirou, armed with the knowledge of what really happened to his father as well as for nostalgia's sake, decides to take a trip to Misaki once more.
820* ''Comments:'' The author begins with the with the simple idea of having Shirou around for an alternative take on the Far Side Routes post-''Tsukihime'' and what he gives us is a well written, in-character trip into the family secrets and skeletons of the Tohno family, Arashi Leonheart also does a good job of giving us a Shirou who is a little haunted and confused about his place in life after having suffered through the events of Grail War. Overall a great read and it's my recommendation that you try reading it on Beast's Lair as the author has set up links to the respective soundtracks of Tukihime and Fate/Stay Night to set up a better atmosphere.

In the 5th War, it is no longer a war for the Grail, but a Trial of Seven. Seven Servants are summoned who superficially resemble the classic Servant Classes, but in reality, they are champions of the seven gods who make up the Faith of the Seven: The Father, The Mother, The Maiden, The Smith, The Warrior, The Crone, and The Stranger. Shirou still summons Saber, and now, they must cope with seven totally different Servants than Saber is used to and a war with different stakes.

The next day, just before Issei is about to be to killed by Raynare, an unknown power awakens within. Reviving lost souls? Cute monster girls? Angels and demons?

The dimension traveler Zelretch gives Issei the deck of Servant Cards to amuse himself. There is no Holy Grail War and Issei does not have Boosted Gear.

With Tamamo no Mae by his side, and possibly more Heroic Spirits on the way, he must survive in this world of Devils and Fallen Angels.

858* Crossover with ''Anime/CodeGeass''
859* ''Status:'' Dead
860* ''Synopsis'': Welcome to ''Fate/Nightmare Apatheia''. Welcome to the war. A deceptively simple crossover between ''Code Geass'' and ''Fate/Stay Night''. The Holy Grail War becomes the deciding element in Charles' [[spoiler: and the Grail's]] AssimilationPlot, leading to a guaranteed GambitPileup revolving around Servants and Immortals. One of each falls into the hands of two Ashford Academy students, Servant Saber for Shirou Emiya and the Immortal C.C. for Lelouch Lamperouge. With both Servants and Immortals scattered throughout the world, the Holy Grail War is escalated to a global conflict, promising a new release to Angra Mainyu, All The World's Evil.
861* ''Comments'': Combining the worlds of the Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} and ''Code Geass'', F/NA takes the tried-and-true formula of simply mixing both works into the same story and turns it into something glorious. This fic starts both protagonists' routes anew, and then proceeds to intertwine their paths seamlessly. Everything familiar about CG and F/SN is still present, and preserved to an exacting degree. However, the combination of both opens up the fic to a plethora of promising ideas. The hints of [[{{Magitek}} knightmare-magecraft combat]], [[BigBadassBattleSequence Servant battles on the scale of entire military operations]], and [[TookaLevelinBadass Immortal special forces]] are simply tantalizing for a military buff. Not to mention the excellent characterizations and interactions. Definitely one of [[SturgeonsLaw the 10% worth dying for]].

875* ''Synopsis'': In one world, Issei Hyoudou died, and came back a Servant of Rias Gremory. In another, he found himself involved in a figurative 'holy war'. A grail that can grant omnipotent wishes? Fast way to become a Harem King! ...if he can survive the other enemy Masters first. Hey, at least he's got a smoking hot Servant with him!
876* ''Comments'': In this story, the events of ''High School [=DxD=]'' happen sixty years after the events of ''Fate/Stay Night'' and Shirou and Rin are Issei's grandparents (their daughter, Issei's mother, was a MuggleBornOfMages, but Issei inherited the potential). Issei's Servant is Altera from ''VideoGame/FateExtellaTheUmbralStar'' or ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder''. In addition to Boosted Gear, Issei starts getting taught magic. There are bold changes from canon, like since Altera stops Raynare from killing Issei, he doesn't get reincarnated as a devil and Issei chooses not to join Rias' peerage because he was offended that they knew Raynare was stalking him and didn't do anything to stop it. There is also a mystery of why the Holy Grail War is starting again after Rin and Lord El-Melloi II dismantled the Greater Grail.

Has She doomed a world or has she pushed it to prosperity? The decision lies in the hands of a young boy who does not know the love of a family.
892* ''Comments'': A fanfic where we can not only see some of the less known Nasuverse characters being portrayed but also one where we can see just how messed up the wizard world can be on the eye of a magus by a rather different kind of Harry Potter.
893** A word of warning, Harry is an OCStandIn and a MartyStu from the start. He is almost immediately given several unnecessary new powers via a "blood adoption ritual" with Zelretch, Rider's older sisters Eurayle and Stheno, and Waver. He is also raised in the Nasuverse by the aforementioned characters. To top things off, he takes [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Len]] as a familiar as well. The end result is that he has almost nothing in common with his canon counterpart even before the main plot kicks off. Please take this into account before trying to read this fic.

908* Crossover with ''Anime/CodeGeass''
909* ''Status:'' Complete
910* ''Synopsis'': Set in an altered ''Anime/CodeGeass'' universe with ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' elements mixed into it, this fic tells the story of the most recent Eden Vital War, a ritual established to minimize damage in resolving disputes between Code-bearers with different visions for the future of the World of C, since the last dispute resulted in a world-spanning war that destroyed Atlantis and nearly caused TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. But, as the cast of Code Geass isn't exactly known for following rules, V.V. decides to stack the deck by sealing away C.C. before the War in order to prevent her from stopping [[AssimilationPlot Ragnarok]]. C.C. does not take kindly to this, and upon her release during the Shinjuku Incident, appoints Lelouch as the 8th champion of the War - Avenger, the wielder of Absolute Retribution.
911* ''Comments'': While what is featured is admittedly something of a departure from the traditional Holy Grail War, both in concept and in scale (it empowers currently living humans ''all over the world'' who meet the standards of the various Servant classes), [=FateGeass=] is still an interesting read, with [=AlfheimWanderer=] doing an outstanding job of blending elements of the Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} into the world of Code Geass, with the result a refreshingly unique story. From references to Geass as a channel for the power of a greater archetype crystallized in the collective unconscious (one that they can use in the physical world, as opposed to the [[MentalWorld phantasmagoria]] in which most Servant battles are fought in this continuity), the balance of daily life at Ashford Academy with a secret life of combat and intrigue, and many references to myths and legends, this fic captures the style of the Nasuverse quite well, weaving it together with tantalizing bits of the other world's mysterious past.

It is the story of a woman who simply wanted her end, living only to destroy a certain person that her tortured existence might come to an end. It is a story of two humans souls slowly wearing away in a blighted land of steel, questing after impossible goals in a world shot through with despair and desolation until they reach their destinations at last, finding perhaps not what they sought, but what they truly needed.

Note that this story had the first two chapters posted within a day of the other; this will probably match the update speed of [=HoS=], so hold on -- gab will definitely bring us another great story.

1015* ''Comments'': While the story is so far still quite short (Saber has yet to leave the Inquisitorial base), the crossover seems to be done well. Her interactions with the Radicals are certainly in-character, and the confusion and misunderstanding of the Radicals leads to a situation where diplomatic connections break down. [[TooDumbToLive And then they think she wants to possess someone,]] [[BerserkButton and try and give her her tortured Master as a Daemonhost.]] However, in the latest chapter the Inquistors and Saber seem have come to a kind of agreement, with Saber putting aside her smoldering hatred and disgust for the good of humanity. All in all, a very good fic that certainly doesn't sugarcoat anything from the [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 40k 'verse]] and keeps Saber in-character.

1032* ''Comments:'' One of the better ''Harry Potter''/Nasuverse crossovers out there, it [[FusionFic mixes the universes]] into each other very well and creates logical justifications for why the ''Harry Potter'' magical system is the way it is, and also introduces some new concepts into both universes. It incorporates both ''Harry Potter'' characters and Nasuverse characters such as Touko and [[spoiler:Sion]], along with a couple [=OCs=] who play both major and minor roles in the story. It deviates heavily from canon for both the ''Harry Potter'' and ''Fate/stay night'' universes in some rather interesting ways and can often go directions you would never expect. It writes the characters extremely realistically and stays true to their characterization, even if their characterization ends up being wildly different than it was in canon. Shinji in this is surprisingly likable and ends up being wildly different than his ''Fate/stay night'' counterpart due to the influence of Sokaris and [[spoiler: Luna]], and he ends up being a better person, but yet is still distinctly Shinji.

1223* Recommended by [=StevetheCornMuffin=], nitewind, Keimarios
1224* Crossover with ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''
1225* ''Status'': Dormant
1226* ''Synopsis'': In this ''Madoka Magica''/Type-MOON fusion-crossover, through a series of traumatizing, dangerous events Homura Akemi accidentally ends up contracted with a certain sword-Projecting Counter Guardian who was trying to kill her moments before as she re-enters her newest timeloop. The presence of this red-mantled, vaguely untrustworthy man of steel will irrevocably alter the events of the series. But, in this uneasy alliance the zinger question is, who will get saved first: Madoka Kaname, or the world?
1227* ''Comments'': Put simply, this is a team-up between the resident badasses of ''Fate/stay night'' and ''Madoka Magica''. What could end up as a simple curbstomp battle through and through as a result of a Homura/Archer tagteam is not so, because the contract between the two is far from perfect, leaving prana supplies necessary for Noble Phantasm spamming from Archer in precarious supply. This theme of urgency and seriousness is palpable throughout the fic. Not only does it stay true to the spirit of Nasu and Urobichi's works, Archer's interactions with the rest of the girls and the glimpses into his mysterious, dark past are certainly the highlights of the story.

1234* ''Comments'': The author has really outdone himself with this one, a rather creative blend of the two and rather entertaining twist to the canon plot with with certain small actions of pieces of information having rather large relevance in the later chapters, also read to see the King of Heroes be himself while being one of the Good guys, though the lightheartedness of GX has taken a turn to a more serious mood in the recent chapters, one that is more akin to the Type-MOON works.

1247* ''Status'': Dead
1248* ''Synopsis'': Everyone knows that the Holy Grail War is a ritual where magi contend for a wish using Servants, human spirits that have ascended to near-divinity due to the legends of their deeds. But what if Avenger's contamination of the Grail in the Third War had distorted the ritual beyond what anyone thought possible. What if the Servants summoned weren't even quite those of ancient legend, but modern media? And what if the underlying mystery behind the circumstances that led to this abnormal Grail War were a major driving force of the story at large?
1249* ''Comments'': While others have fiddled with fictional Servants in the Grail War in the past, most have limited themselves to simply replacing Assassin. This fic, however, seems to be going the route of replacing every Servant with a fictional counterpart, while still staying true to the 'feel' of Fate - exploring the mystery behind a spirit's true identity. Arguably the "original" of the "replace Servants, get instant megacrossover" fic. Even with few chapters (including the near-requisite Tohsaka prologue), hints of how the fic as a whole will be are evident with Rin/Luvia interactions, [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]] as Rin's Lancer, and Luvia's mystery Servant (going only by [[Franchise/DotHack Ryou]]) throwing a SpannerInTheWorks. Shirou ends up summoning [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Lightning]], True Assasin is [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI Altair]] summoned by [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Ciel]], and Berserker is [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Guts]]. With an A-list cast like this, it's a mega-crossover that one should definitely keep an eye on.

1286* ''Synopsis:'' There are infinitely many Servants that could have been summoned after all. From an infinite number of multiverses. Ever wondered what if Batman or Sherlock Holmes were summoned as a servant? The Holy Grail war will never be the same again...
1287* ''Comments:'' Ongoing series, with the author taking character suggestions from the readers. He does brilliant justice to the characterization of the heroes from all the series thrown into Fateverse. Watching the canon characters repeatedly get flabbergasted when confronted with the alien new Servants is, frankly, priceless. It’s also interesting to see their powers and attributes well-translated into Noble Phantasms and reading the character sheets in the end. So far we have [[spoiler: Edward Elric, Venom (Spiderman), James Bond, Batman, Samurai Jack, Sherlock Holmes, Han Solo, Jack Sparrow, Nicholas Wolfwood, Eragon, Aragorn, Integra Hellsing, Grisia Sun, Demon Eyes Kyo, Kakashi Hatake, Ciaphas Cain, The Slender Man]]...\
1288The premise is that different Servants spanning a wide variety of genres (anime/film/manhua/books/etc.) are summoned as Servants for one of the Masters in the Holy Grail War. The writing style is very good (but not perfect); however, each chapter has a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome in it to really make the fic stand out. Humour is abundant as well.

The story takes place a few years after what appears to be the anime version of the ''FSN'' Fate route, with Rin attending classes at the Clock Tower while the rest of the gang are still in Fuyuki. The story is very Rin-centric but also features a few enjoyable original characters and appearances by and references to characters from all around the Nasuverse, including everyone's favorite Blue Magic Gunner, who takes a major role in the story.

1432* ''Comments'': The author could have stopped right at the "is compelled to lend her a hand" part and if she had she would have made a fairly decent {{PornWithoutPlot}} {{lemon}}, but it's the "one thing leads to another" that makes this such a fun story. Lancer's initial encounter with Sakura throws a bit of a monkey wrench into the gears of the Unlimited Blade Works route and saves Sakura from getting the shaft in a very satisfying manner ([[IncrediblyLamePun while giving her another shaft in an equally satisfying manner]]). The story is short, little more than a lengthy one-shot composed of a collection of scenes spanning the length of the war, so don't expect a complete retelling of the arc. On the other hand, if you've ever wanted to see Sakura get swept off her feet by a badass KnightInShiningArmor, you're going to love this fic.

1436* Recommended by neothoron, Cherry_Lover, nitewind, @/{{Pastykake}}
1437* ''Status'': Complete
1438* ''Pairings'': Archer/Sakura, with a dash of Rider
1439* ''Synopsis'': A girl needing a hero, a fallen hero needing someone to save. After a wish making a seemingly perfect world not everyone is saved, nor is everyone happy.
1440* ''Comments'': This fanfic goes from an interesting (though slightly crack) idea, and executes that idea extremely well: the characters' psychology are thought through and consistent with canon; each of Archer's interactions with the other members of the cast is enjoyable in its own way. It also goes beyond the plot's apparent denouement (i.e., after [[spoiler: having saved Sakura]]) to explore the Archer/Sakura relationship in all its awkwardness. Will probably feature a "mana recharge" scene at some point, but the story is excellent already without it. Also features the King of Heroes being [[GroinAttack kicked in the balls]] by Rider.

1445* ''Status'': Dead
1446* ''Pairings'': Archer/Saber, with a side of Shirou/Sakura and a touch of one-sided Archer/Rider
1447* ''Synopsis'': She was a king who gave everything to serve her people, he was a man who desperately wanted to save everyone. They thought they had failed both in life and in death, but together they may find that they had succeeded far better than they thought.
1448* ''Comments'': A very interesting take on a Post-HF story where Saber and Archer are resurrected alongside Shirou. Saber's recovery from the events of HF are very well done, and the budding relationship between Saber and Archer alternates between touching, d'awwww, and that lemon scent Elf is famous for. It's got action and drama as well, and the plot finally is coming to a head.

1452* Recommended by darkestjudgmentisblack,
1453* ''Status'': Complete
1454* ''Pairings'': Illya x Shirou[[spoiler:/Avenger]], [[ShipTease tongue-in-cheek Ship Teasing]] of [[spoiler:Berserker x Track Team Trio x Taiga x Saber]]
1455* ''Synopsis'': Set during the events of ''Fate/hollow ataraxia'', post-Quartet, Illya drags Shirou into town so that they can have some fun together. Easier said than done when Berserker is the de-facto chaperone and Shirou may be losing his grip on reality the more time he spends in the presence of the Holy Grail. Even if the stage is fake and life is full of risk, that's no reason for enjoyment to not be had. Inspired by content that didn't make it to the final version of the game.
1456* ''Comments'': Humorous, heartwarming, and wistfully melancholic, "13" does a fine job of characterizing not only Shirou and Illya's relationship and how it develops, but also the themes and tone of ''hollow ataraxia'' as a whole. The writing uses deliberate word choices to help convey nuances and double-meanings that when caught on re-readings give the story a sense of thoughtful depth. Also full to bursting with [[MythologyGag Mythology Gags]] from both ''stay night'' and ''hollow ataraxia'', and [[ContinuityNod Continuity Nods]] from real world folklore.

1460* Recommended by ultimomant
1461* ''Status'': Complete
1462* ''Pairings'': Archer/Harem
1463* ''Synopsis'': When the Holy Grail War ends, Archer returns to his home/prison in Unlimited Blade Works to await the next time Alaya summons him. But, he finds he is not so alone when he discovers his various weapons have turned into people.
1464* ''Comments'': Although this is a parody, it is also very heartwarming when Archer learns how devoted his weapons are to him. He will never be alone again.
