History Fanfic / CafeOfTheRound

* ArcherArchetype: Tristan, natch. Fittingly, he awoke in the middle of an archery tournament at age 15.

* LuminescentBlush: Galahad, at recieving praise for handling the staff's medieval costumes.

** Artoria gets ''very interested'' in hearing Mordred and Gawain have been summoned to [[VideoGame/FateExtra two different]] [[LightNovel/FateApocrypha Holy Grail Wars]].

* OverprotectiveDad: Ector definitely has shades of this.

** Galahad is depicted as a LongHairedPrettyBoy and [[AdaptationalNiceGuy is significantly nicer]] than his canon self much like [[Literature/FateRequiem certain other counterpart of him]].

* {{Bishonen}}: Galahad.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Naturally.

* NotSoDifferent: Tristan's first reaction to seeing Mordred is "Traitor", but stops, seeing as he is one himself. Also, when he finally meets with Artoria and Guinivere, he sees in their eyes the same self-loathing that's been bothering him (i.e. the events that led to Camelot's downfall).

* UnfortunateName: Dagonet's second life identity is Nimrod. Although it's a reference to ''Literature/ChildrenOfTheLamp'', the word nimrod is also used as an insult in American vernacular.

''Café'' is a spiritual spin-off to one of [=LunaChi=]'s other works, titled ''Gemstones''. In it, Shirou and Artoria ([[HandWave don't ask why she's not a Servant this time]]) summon one of the people from King Arthur's time as a Servant in a new Holy Grail War.

* ExcusePlot: [[spoiler:Merlin's disappearance, in coincidence to the missing-persons case that Agravain is working on. While it does cause some uneasiness among the cast, the whole point of it was for the author to bring in Agravain and Palomedes into the café.]]

* MeaningfulRename: The café was previously named the ''Crescent Luna'', owned by Gwen's parents. After they let Gwen and Artoria take it over, they rename it the ''Café of the Round'', which is mainly staffed by--well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin you can finish that thought yourself.]]

* RedLightDistrict: No, ''not'' where the café is based. But Merlin does live in London's RL district, with his guardian Telma and her cat.

** To ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'': At Chapter 36, [[spoiler:a couple based on Lena/Tracer and her girlfriend Emily]] show up as customers of the café.

* TitleDrop: The name of the café.

* BilingualBonus: The author, being from Germany, uses their native language to write the dialogue for [[spoiler:Irisviel, Chloe, and Ilyasviel when they stop by the Café]].

* TheCameo: Let's see, there's [[spoiler:there's Irisviel, Chloe, and Ilyasviel; there's Lancer and Bazett; there's Queen Boudica; there is Robin Hood; there's Rider… Aside from them, there are also Agravian's "Detective Boys", who all are implied to be Victorian England-related Servants.]]

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Leodegrance comes to terms with this when he learns that King Arthur was actually a woman, and was wed to another woman (his past daughter, no less!)—something that challenged his Catholic upbringing in his second life.

* ExcusePlot: [[spoiler:Merlin's disappearance, in coincidence to the missing-persons case that Agravain is working on. While it does cause some uneasiness among the cast, the whole point of it was for the author to bring in Agravain and Palomedes into the café.]]

** Merlin, who was [[HumansAreSpecial enamored with humanity]], discovers just how it feels to be human, instead of…whatever he was before. Suffice it to say, it was like "suffocating on air".

* MeaningfulRename: The café was previously named the ''Crescent Luna'', owned by Gwen's parents. After they let Gwen and Artoria take it over, they rename it the ''Café of the Round'', which is mainly staffed by--well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin you can finish that thought yourself.]]

* BiTheWay: Artoria and Gwen.

* [[spoiler:AnArmAndALeg: Bedivere loses his right hand [[HistoryRepeats again]]. This time, however, it occurred in a hit-and-run car accident. Initially, he doesn't take it well at all, but he comes to terms with it later.]]

* [[spoiler:UndyingLoyalty: The Knights to Artoria, naturally. The narrator states that Shirou would have been worried if that weren't the case.]]

* Reborn Servants whose new names were not revealed include Shakespeare, the Hassans, Ozymandias, Leonardo da Vinci, Solomon, Jeanne d'Arc, Charlemagne, Roland, Astolfo, Vlad III and Siegfried

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Because let's be honest: who's going to believe that a group of randoms are a bunch of reincarnated people from various time periods? Only someone in the same position as they could help, and that's ''if'' the Awoken could believe ''them'', too. On the other hand, it becomes easier and easier to find help as more people Awaken, to the point a good chunk of them arrange for a big reunion to help foster connections and Merlin establishes a blog to help Awoken communicate.

* SplitPersonalityTakeover: For quite some time, despite being pretty happy with her new life, Boudicca fears she's destroyed the personality of Beatrice Haran. Artoria explain to her that she has always been Beatrice and Beatrice has always been her.
