History Fanfic / ServantShenanigans

# ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/37465300/chapters/93498709 To Peel Back the Oni Mask]]'': Complete. Starts immediately after ''Mash Kyrielight Makes Her Move]]'': Ritsuka summons Berserker Fuuma.

* GutturalGrowler: Cu Alter. He combines this with a monotone -- unless he's in the presence of the other Cu's only, in which it's not quite so monotone.

* OverprotectiveDad: Inverted -- Mordred vetoes trying to set up his father with Irisviel until he's met her and deemed her good enough.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/1854901 Servant Shenanigans]]'' is a series of ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' fanfics with references to other ''Franchise/FateSeries'' works -- mostly ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha''. It's hosted on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn, and is written by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/DraketheDragon/pseuds/DraketheDragon DraketheDragon]].

** While we do get a fairly good idea about Mordred's life in ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'', this fic goes into far greater detail about it.

** There is a very significant gap between Mordred's first appearance in ''Sometimes I Don't Know What I'm Thinking When it Comes to You'' and his next in ''Sometimes the Fire Burns too Hot Inside''. In the meantime, he has gone through ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'' AND the London Singularity, which had a great effect in curbing his bitterness and allowing him to open up to people. Of course, it did not solve ALL his problems -- [[EvilMatriarch far]] [[ParentalNeglect from]] [[SelfMadeOrphan it]] -- but it was a good first step.

** Mordred's childhood, his days at Camelot, some of his experiences at [[LightNovel/FateApocrypha Trifas]], and his experiences at the Singularities before being summoned in Chaldea, are all viewed through his nightmares.

** In one war, Berserker and Assassin set up base in the [[LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners Fujo Building]].

** Lancelot's FunTShirt says "[[LightNovel/FateZero I FLY PLANES... SCARY, ISN'T IT?]]"

# ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/41605695/chapters/104359206 We Stoke the Fires in Our Heart for the Long, Cold, Winter]]'': In progress. Ushiwakamaru and Tomoe are summoned in Chaldea, and the aftermath of that.

The fics are mostly SliceOfLife stories but with a dose of angst and drama, focusing on the daily lives of the Servants in Chaldea, as well as their stories, and mostly their relationships with each other -- relationships which more often than not take a turn for the romantic. Most fics are in chronological order.

# ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27215227/chapters/66479464 Incorrect Quotes: Chaldea Edition]]'': Complete. Meme compilation that showcases the dynamics of each group.

# ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/25212838/chapters/61111531 Sometimes I Don't Know What I'm Thinking When it Comes to You]]'': Complete. Follows the interactions and developing relationship of Cu Chulainn and Emiya from the end of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' up until they're both summoned in Chaldea.

# ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/33887659 We Are More Than Monsters]]'': Complete. Covers the events of the Babylonia Singularity.

# ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/37465300/chapters/93498709 To Peel Back the Oni Mask]]'': Starts immediately after ''Mash Kyrielight Makes Her Move]]'': Ritsuka summons Berserker Fuuma.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: At least, that's what the Chaos Crew thought [[spoiler:before having to fight one]].

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Basically, almost every summonable servant in the game is here, though the fics focus mostly on the Cu Chulainns, the Chaos Crew, the Round Table, and most of the people directly associated with them. The rest are OutOfFocus.

** As is cannon in the ''Fate'' franchise, Ritsuka can dream of their Servants' memories.

* In the ''Film/Ghostbusters1984'' fanfic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/35402485/chapters/88242349 Sick]]'',

# ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/33887659 We Are More Than Monsters]]'': Ongoing. Covers the events of the Babylonia Singularity.

* ParentalSubstitute: Even now, Mordred still views Shishigou Kairi as a father to him, and even calls him a better Master than Ritsuka.

-->I'M NOT SHORT I'M CONCETRATED AWESOME

* EveryoneIsGay: One of the fics has the tag "NO ONE IN CHALDEA IS STRAIGHT". Of all the people whose sexuality has been explored, only Fran does not belong in the LGBTQ community in some fashion. We have a genderfluid Fujimaru Ritsuka (who goes by Gudao or Gudako depending on the phase of the moon), trans-male Mordred, a huge number of bisexual people, and more.

# ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/29747028/chapters/73169028 Oh, if Only I Could Stop Dreaming of You]]'': Ongoing. Takes place right after ''Halloween Shenanigans'', with flashbacks to pre-game Singularity F. Explores [=CasCu=]'s issues and his relationship with his interactions with his version of Emiya.

** [[spoiler:Any person who knows even the tiniest detail about Kage's existence immediately assumes that he and [=CasCu=] were in a relationship. In reality, they mostly hate each other's guts, but even ''they'' can see how things could turn out that way].

# ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/33887659 We Are More Than Monsters]]'': Ongoing.

** Astolfo is on the Fran/Mordred ship, and plays wingman for Fran.

* YouRemindMeOfX: Achilles thinks that Patroclus and Diarmuid are pretty similar in personality - specifically, how they are almost always right and try to keep everyone else under check.

* AdaptationDeviation: For whatever reason, the Servants who appear in the fic's version of Singularity F are different from the ones in the game. Lancer Benkei has been replaced with Medusa (like in the anime), while Rider Darius has been replaced with [[spoiler:Boudica]].

-->'''[[spoiler:Mordred]]:''' So ''don’t'' you ''dare'' try to take our accomplishments and mistakes from us, because they are ours. ''Not. Yours.''
* BelligerentSexualTension: Nobunaga ''lives'' for this trope, in the form of pulling pranks on the person you like as a sign of affection. She even WroteTheBook on it!

** [[spoiler:Any person who knows even the tiniest detail about Kage's existence immediately assumes that he and [=CasCu=] were in a relationship. In reality, they mostly hate each other's guts, but even ''they'' can see how things could turn out that way]].

* IdenticalStranger: Lampshaded by [[spoiler:Kage]] when he spots Okita Oji, who looks identical to Artoria. And that was mere hours away from when he ran into his own doppelganger in the form of [[spoiler:Angra Mainiiu]]. The latter even affirms that he's not an alt and that his looks really are just a coincidence.

* MundaneUtility: One of Emiya's masters had him doing the cooking and grocery shopping.

** Cu with Emiya, and Cu Alter with Edgemiya.

* BeligerentSexualTension: Nobunaga ''lives'' for this trope, in the form of pulling pranks on the person you like as a sign of affection. She even WroteTheBook on it!
