She approves of Sailor Saturn. Very good choice of weapons.
She laughed when she saw Haruka's sword.
So, Diana, Caster and Rider walk into a bar...
I'm working on that. Diana worships Athena and the other female gods, which Rider gets twitchy about, and Caster is a bitch to most people.
The problem here is that Diana is a servant of the gods, and Medusa and Medea are the victims of said gods.
Yup. Honestly, I'm more interested in what Saber will do to Blood and her sister.

Get utterly appalled at the fact that Morgan's been spending so much time trying to get Mordred a throne without spending any time making sure that he actually knows how to run a kingdom once he has it.
Saber will probably consider Blood has been punished enough when she learns about Etrigan. Especially after she hears it was Merlin who did it.
Don't forget Sir Justin. In a way, Shining Knight is a man out of time and unlike Saber, wasn't given a magical brain insertion on how to adapt. Great comedic potential in that one. Jason, on the other hand... yeah, I can see Saber forgiving him, and trying to get him to forgive himself, same as she did to Lancelot.
I can just imagine the row between Medea, Medusa, and Diana now.
And all this talk of greek gods reminds me of how Athena is a major antagonist character in Campione... nah, this crossover has enough elements, though it would be interesting to have Gil, Saber, and the rest be hunted by the likes of Luo Hao and Voban... the property destruction will be glorious.

Sir Ystin/Ystina. I prefer Morrison's take on the character… with modifications. It's not like secretly-girl-knights are all that rare.
Morrison is a mad genius. One who's work we greatly love.
When the time travelers start popping up, are you going to incorporate "The Return of Bruce Wayne"?
Hmm… maybe. If I can find the right kind of story…
The idea of sticking in a Bat-treehouse is certainly crack-worthy…
Latest on Prisma Illya Drei.
Ainsworth cards are SO flawed…
If Nanoha is depressed about whether she did (questionable?) genocide or not, can she just talk with Assasin? Because Assasin has experience about that (poor, poor Red Court).
Also, just curious, but Assasin actually is custodian of two holy swords, which can be considered, at worst, D-class Noble Phantasm, and A-class when wielded by proper person against a proper target. Can Kuro/ Shirou copying it?
And if they can, what happened when Kuro/ Shirou throws Amoracchius on 3rei! Alter!Sakura?
Since Dresden was never more than a caretaker of those swords, it's entirely possible that they're not part of his legend, and thus didn't come with him. The problem is that after Sue, the next most important relic of his legend is an island, which doesn't make a good Noble Phantasm.
It's possible he might have Bob, though.
Had he been summoned as a Caster, Dresden's island would have been an added defense system to his workshop territory. Sadly, he's an assassin, so he get no bonuses for Demonreach.
And yeah, the Swords aren't enough of a part of Dresden's legend for him to get anything out of it. No Bob either. He DOES get nifty Winter Knight armor though.
Been rethinking the chapter and decided that a Nanoha and Diana training montage chapter wouldn't be all that funny, so I'll see about stries from Justice League Adventures I can cannibalize for plots...
A little sequence on 2814 Diana:
Diana figured it had to do with sex. Honestly, they had Sappho's complete works on the island, not to mention everyone was always doing it where they thought she couldn't see. Mother could be so silly sometimes.
Still, she had chosen to accept the Green Lantern girl child's offer to let Diana stay at her home, partly because of said stories, partly because the Hawkgirl (though if anything she looked like she should be a woman. A vain affectation, perhaps?) had not offered, and partly because the only other alternative, sleeping on the Watchtower, made her too nervous to sleep. And after the Green Lantern girl child's impromptu lecture on the dangers of what she called 'decompression' and 'hard vacuum', any sleep would be fraught with nightmares in any case. So she had accepted a sister's invitation to her hearth and home, where she felt safer.
The one in red with the swiftness of Hermes— the Flash— had seemed cheerfully oblivious, but she suspected the other two powerful warriors, the Superman and the Batman, realized she was avoiding them. They said nothing though. She wondered if it was some bit of cunning on their part. But no, that was a dishonorable thought. They had proven themselves honorable warriors, strong brave and even kind. Though the Flash was annoying, it had been in the way of a pup, happily and cheerfully oblivious. His enthusiasm at wanting to be her friend was certainly disarming. She could not conceive they could possibly be capable of the betrayal and evil her sisters had often spoken of. Or perhaps...
Sometimes, when her sisters were in their cups or particularly deep in reminiscences, they told strange stories about men, ones they seemed to try very hard to pretend they don't remember, or didn't exist. Sometimes they would speak as if they fought with men not as enemies but as allies. Once or twice, one of her sisters would mention and old friend or drinking companion or even a lover and they'd speak as if they meant a man, until the realized Diana was there, and hastily say they had misspoken, of course they meant a woman. The one time a sister had made this mistake in front of Diana in her mother's hearing, it had gotten someone sent to isolation to meditate on their mistakes. Diana hadn't seem them for two years.
It probably had to do with sex too.
Were these men like that, the kind her sisters had remembered fondly?
Being taken to the Green Lantern girl child's home had made her wonder. The girl had spoken to her of the importance of her protecting her 'secret identity' on the dizzying journey there as they sat within a vehicle made of green light, shaped by strange sorcery. She had emphasized the strict importance of secrecy, that if her enemies or anyone found out who she really was, her family would be in danger. It took Diana while to realize what the child was getting at and had been offended. They had fought together. Did she think Diana would betray her to her enemies?
“Do you know what my enemies look like?” the girl child had asked pointedly. “Would you know they were my enemies when you tell them?”
It was the fear that had shown in her words when she spoke of danger to her family that had made Diana agree to be placed under this spell. They had been barely glimpsed, barely heard, but the way the child's voice had shook slightly when she spoke of enemies coming to hurt her family had... well, they had reminded Diana almost painfully of her mother.
Had not Themyscara been safe only because it had been secret?
The Green Lantern girl child had done something to her senses. When she had taken off her eye covering, all Diana could see of her face was a strange blur that overlaid her features with a humorously simple set of lines that made a simple but recognizable face. The child had said any member of her family that Diana glimpsed would look the same, and she would not be able to recognize their voices without the strange obscuring enchantment. It had taken her a while to get used to it, mainly because she had taken one look and burst out in laughter.

Greek Tragedy, like many of its modern descendants, heavily relies on people keeping secrets that lead to disgrace, while Nanoha scorns at keeping harmful secrets when you can spit them out to people who will help you out, and if you don't she'll beat them out of you. The other half of it relies on superior powers being gratuitous dicks to people, something she hates too. It's no wonder she wouldn't like Greek Tragedy too much, she'd just consider it silly.
Put that way, most of the middle and late Geoff Johns run of Green Lantern is structured as a Greek Tragedy. No wonder th Guardains can't seem to do anything right...
Beast's Lair Prisma Illya anime thread has made me aware of a new Prisma BD extra.
Ruby tries out different wielders. SCM, Do you think you can make a story out of this where Ruby turns everyone (temporarily) into a mahou shoujo?
And now, a brief reminder that, yeah, Yuuno's in this story too.
The Infinite Library's keepers were taking their elevation to godhood of the man who had organized the place very seriously. The anniversary of 'The Great Organization' was already a semi-official holiday for them.
The respect was honestly pretty heady, sometimes.
With the situation on Earth now stabilized, with most of the cities, environs and giant freestanding monuments repaired to pre-invasion conditions, he'd finally had time to get around to this. While he'd acquired his Device several days before the whole mess had started, he hadn't really had time to activate and acclimate to it before the invasion had begun, and his innate control and his ring had been sufficient to the occasion. Indeed, he'd only been wearing it because he hadn't had time to spare for the standard fine-tuning measures and adjustments, necessitating the much longer process of field tuning it by letting it collect data on his unassisted use.
Now that he had some downtime though, he had the opportunity to rectify that. Admiral Lindy had called in a favor on his behalf, and he had appointment with the Device Meister on the base to finally take that raw data and crunch it so that his new Device would be compatible with him and not jump ship to the first crazy Earth person it ran into. It was time to properly activate his device.
Until his appointment though, he floated here and, with a copy of 'The Big Book Of Device Names For New Users', wondered what he was going to call his new Device. He had to pick, because he didn't trust Chrono no to bribe someone to prgram it to respond to 'Pinky Plush Princess'.

I often wondered why Chrono took a particular liking to needling Yuuno. Is it an Alpha Male thing? Is he just a troll to everyone and we only see Yuuno due to how most males are marginalized in the show? Is it just the something about Yuuno that screams out to be bullied?
That last, I think. Personally, I see them as Vitriolic Best Buds. Admittedly, according to my fic Vivio's Quest For Understanding, it might because as a slightly effeminate man he likes poking at the traditionally male Yuuno…
The funny thing being the ''slighly effeminate one' being the one who eventually gets to marry a girl, and wears fearsome black with long, sharp, possibly phalic spikes.
As retaliation for the Mahou Shoujo lessons, Diana should give the Senshi instruction on how to act like the princesses they are.
It should go something like this.
