The Little Foreigner
is a fanfic by Aeonalpha6 that is a crossover between Worm and Fate/Grand Order.
Or, a little girl finds herself in an unfamiliar city, makes new friends, and battles villains — while her “passenger” decides to shake up the local corner of the multiverse.
Sadly, on January 25, 2021, the original Spacebattles thread was closed by a moderator due to several people writing posts insulting each other or the author and telling them to kill themselves. Fortunately, on February 2, 2021, the thread was reopened.
The Little Foreigner contains examples of:
- Accidental Murder: Abigail kills Oni Lee when she uses a portal to send him to a cell just as he was about to throw a grenade, causing him to get caught in the explosion. She was horrified and said she didn't know that would happen.
- Alternate Self: Earth Bet has a native Shirou Emiya who can create objects, but used his abilities to become a doctor.
- And Show It to You: Eidolon suffers this courtesy of Endbringer!Gilgamesh.
- Assimilation Backfire: Echidna briefly absorbs Abigail and tries to create a clone of her, but since she cannot be completely analyzed, the clone comes out brain dead.
- Badass Adorable:
- Abigail Williams is incredibly earnest and sweet while still being a powerhouse.
- Vista/Missy as well, though the adorable part grates on her.
- Big Damn Heroes:
- When Endbringer!Gilgamesh attempts to carpetbomb the entire city, EMIYA uses Rho Aias to block the attacks.
- Abigail kills Endbringer!Gilgamesh, but his Ea goes off. Abigail holds it straight up so the beam will go into space and not the city, but she starts to run out of strength. A recovered Vista shows up and helps her hold it up until the beam ends.
- Civvie Spandex: Abigail's costume as a Ward is her normal dress with the pants and shoes replaced with a leotard and combat boots. She figures that the former would also go well with her Witch of Salem "outfit" if she ever transforms.
- Code Name: Abigail chooses Silver Key for her Cape name.
- Combo Platter Powers: Abby has a number of abilities that belie the fact that she isn't like Earth Bet's capes. The PRT are under the impression that she's an unusually powerful Trump and the upper limits of her powers have yet to be determined (the Cosmic Traveling Gentlemen from the Salem Singularity says that she could, with practice, eventually use her powers to fight the Outer Gods).
- Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Abigail uses her Noble Phantasm, Qliphoth Rhizome, on Endbringer!Gilgamesh, which disintegrates him.
- Dramatic Irony: When Abigail attempts to murder Echinda/Noelle for seemingly getting Vista killed, the other Wards tell her to stop because heroes don't kill. Abigail points out many famous heroes like Achilles, Heracles, and David have killed. The Wards get confused and say those characters are just stories, not real. Abigail realizes they are ignorant, since she met those heroes before.
- Humanity Ensues: Simurgh was turned into a human woman named Sera. She really enjoys her new freedom and being able to experience human emotions.
- Improvised Weapon: Abby still uses her teddy bear Hugo to smack people.
- Losing Your Head: Endbringer!Gilgamesh gets his head destroyed by Eidolon, but he does not stop moving and pours a healing potion from the Gate of Babylon on the stump to grow a new head.
- Mistaken Identity: When Tattletale reads Abigail and recites her past failures in an attempt to break her spirit, Abigail mistakes her for Raum, since he is pretty much the only being who would know about that.
- Mugging the Monster:
- Shadow Stalker is dismissive of Silver Key, which lasts until a whack from Hugo throws her across the training room.
- Tattletale does her cold-reading shtick on Silver Key. This completely backfires on her with the emergence of the Witch of Salem.
- "Not So Different" Remark: Simurgh/Sera says to EMIYA that they are alike, as they were both slaves who were compelled to slaughter countless people.
- Off the Rails: As soon as Abby arrives on Earth Bet, Yog-Sothoth convinces Scion to do something and the Simurgh disappears.
- Portal Cut: Abby can do this with her gates and uses it to take the tail off of one of Rachel's dogs.
- Power Nullifier: The Chains of Heaven nullify the powers of those caught in them, allowing Endbringer!Gilgamesh to kill people like Alabaster and Eidolon.
- Reluctant Warrior: Abigail doesn't like to fight, but she can defend herself and others if necessary.
- Retcon: The original version of Chapter Remnants 1.7, the bank job, had the battle between the Undersiders and the Wards interrupted by the surprise appearance of Hassan of the Hundred Faces, who quickly incapacitates the Wards except for Abigail. The chapter ended on a cliffhanger as Abigail prepared to face him. Unfortunately, the chapter received negative reviews with many complaining that adding more Servants was completely unnecessary and the fic was in danger of Jumping the Shark. The author quickly altered the chapter to remove the Assassin and instead had Abigail confront Skitter and Tattletale.
- Taking the Bullet: When Endbringer!Gilgamesh tries to kill Echidna, Trickster teleports in and intercepts the sword with his body. Fortunately, Clockblocker is able to freeze him before he bleeds out.
- Tele-Frag: Abigail defeats Lung by opening a portal inside his body and sticking her keyblade inside it, tearing his torso apart. He survives this.
- Traumatic Superpower Awakening: The PRT and the Wards are under the impression that Abby underwent a second trigger when Tattletale pushed her buttons during the bank job. She didn't. She just channeled more of her powers to lash out at Tattletale, who she thought was Raum, causing the latter to undergo the actual second trigger when Abby nearly hit her on the head with her giant key. Tattletale gained the new ability to create split personalities at will to help ease her mental burdens and can merge her personalities at will too.
- Unskilled, but Strong: Abigail. Being a Servant-like vessel meant to host an Outer God, she has a stat line usually enjoyed by old and powerful heroes (like Gilgamesh and Herakles) and has the aforementioned god's powers to wield. That said, she's both new to fighting and reluctant to do it, not to mention she's still early in her journey to learn how her abilities work.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Abby does not like dogs, which naturally becomes a problem when facing Hellhound.
- Wham Episode:
- Chapter Atonement 2.b(lades). After Simurgh was turned into the human woman Sera, she summons Archer EMIYA and explains that her new master assigned her to watch over Abigail. She asks him to help her with this and offers to free him from his contract with Alaya, from being a Counter Guardian. The two pretend to be a married couple and offer to adopt Abigail, plus they take out a few villains like Bakuda behind the scenes.
- Chapter Atonement 2.c(alamity). Leviathan and Behemoth surface at the same time. Then Scion creates an Evil Knockoff of Gilgamesh from Yog-Sothoth's notes, complete with Gate of Babylon, and turns it into the King of the Endbringers.
- Chapter Devotion 3.a(pex) Eidolon goes mano-a-mano with Endbringer!Gilgamesh, and gets his heart torn out.
- Chapter Devotion 3.5 After Echidna absorbed Vista and then was injured by Endbringer!Gilgamesh, she sadly says she thinks Vista is dead. Enraged, Abigail lets the Witch take over and is ready to kill her.
- Wham Line: At the end of Chapter Atonement 2.5, hinting at the identity of Abby's new foster father.“I’ll take Abby back now, and we can discuss future meetings over the phone. Are you okay with driving home by yourself, Mrs. Emiya?”
