History Fanfic / FragmentsOfChaldea

* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Helena Blavatsky wonders exactly what [[AnythingThatMoves Medb]] found so attractive about the [[YouSexyBeast Berserker Cu]] she summoned in America.

[=GhostXavier=] tries to answer just that in his ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12012899/1/Fragments-of-Chaldea fanfic]], a series of loosely connected snippets and one-shots that details the shenanigans of the many Servants and employees of the Chaldea Security Organization when they're not off fighting, with all of the comedy, drama, and heartwarming that comes with it. The core collection is categorized as a Short Story Cycle that revolves around a {{Iyashikei}} premise.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13074708/1/The-Lost-Shards The Lost Shards]]'' is a series of supplemental snippets that can take place anywhere in the timeline. (Dormant; last updated July 2020)

[[http://archiveofourown.org/series/896850 The series is now on AO3 but stays one week behind the original.]].

Citing diminishing motivation and Real Life Getting In The Way Ghost has officially made Fragment 116 (posted on 12/24/2020) his final installment of the FoC series. He also has posted the skeleton of how the series would have progressed into Cosmos of the LostBelt and has given free reign for other authors to write their own continuations or offshoots to the series as they like.

* ACupAngst: Arturia feels inadequate compared to the Lion King, especially when [[InnocentlyInsensitive Ozymandias]] brings it up. Being consoled by [[BoobsOfSteel Jeanne]] doesn't help either.

* SurprisinglyGoodForeignLanguage: When servants speak to others from the same nationality they sometimes slip in a word or two of their home's language (i.e. Japanese servants occasionally use honorifics for others from their culture). It serves as a reminder that not everyone in Chaldea originally spoke English as their first language. An exception exists for Quetzalcoatl who spices her dialogue with Spanish when very excited.

** It's also mentioned that Vigil summoned the ''VideoGame/FateExtra'' version of Vlad III, to the disgust of the ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'' version in Chaldea.

** Fragment 114 sees [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/FateExtella Archimedes]] join Chaldea as another exception to the fic's "summonable in-game only" rule.]] To a lesser extent, [[spoiler:[[LightNovel/FateRequiem Voyager]] also makes an early appearance as Chaldea's first Foreigner, and D'eon narration reveals that the Throne doesn't provide any information about that class.]]

* ACupAngst: Arturia feels inadequate compared to the [[BuxomIsBetter Lion King]], especially when [[InnocentlyInsensitive Ozymandias]] brings it up. Being consoled by [[BoobsOfSteel Jeanne]] doesn't help either.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Like the gameverse, Chaldea houses [[CastOfSnowflakes countless characters]]. This is one of the main draws of the series. Thanks to the [[ADayInTheLimelight single-focus design of each piece]], all characters receive plenty of further development than what the game offers.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: While Mordred wears them the most, a number of females in Chaldea sport the modern trend in their wardrobe.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: This is Kiyohime's reaction and response to Gabrielle after Kiyohime setting up a fight between Gabby and Delaqua leads to Gabrielle getting ''utterly brutalized'' while [[TheDeterminator still refusing to give in]] and crying {{Broken Tears}} after surviving Delaqua's elbow drop thanks to Hans Christen Andersen casting a quick reinforcing spell on Gabrielle. Kiyohime even refers to what happened as a "stupid wish for petty revenge".

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12223809/1/Their-Guiding-Light Their Guiding Light]]'' serves as a novelization of the Camelot Singularity, but with new expanded/altered scenes added, especially how Arturia, Lancelot, Gawain, and Mordred of Chaldea Forces are involved in this. It was the first supplemental story and was completed by Christmas, on the day Fate/Grand Order's first arc, ''Observer on Timeless Temple'', ended.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12547120/1/Redemption-from-Sin Redemption from Sin]]'' serves as a novelization of the Babylonia Singularity. It was slated to have few altered scenes compared to the first supplement but numerous additional scenes. It follows Chaldea's Gilgamesh as he journeys through the singularity.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12881348/1/Who-We-Are Who We Are]]'' serves as a novelization of the [[FinalBattle Final Singularity]]. The author stated that this supplement would be similar yet different to Salomon, as "the piece would adapt the situation due to the butterfly effect".

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12966086/1/Equilibrium Equilibrium]]'' explores the fallout of Chaldea's victory in ''Observer on Timeless Temple'', serving as [[{{Interquel}} a bridge]] into the next FGO arc, ''Epic of Remnant''.
