* OffTheRails: The plotline is at least recognizable until the mission to retrieve the letter from Wales. Then [[spoiler: Louise and Seija seize control of Reconquista,]] and the story never looks back.

These fics involve Louise's summoned familiar, generally an OC SelfInsert, bringing a technological/sociological revolution to Halkegenia, bringing modernity and democracy to the setting. Such fics are almost universally derided, being regarded as badly-written WishFulfillment at best. They're pretty much always uninspired, poorly conceived, and poorly written, and simply bringing up the possibility of writing one is enough to [[FlameBait invoke the fanbase's wrath]].

* AlternateUniverseFic: Almost all [=ZnT=] fics are AU, replacing Saito with some other character, but this one goes a bit further by making some changes to Louise's backstory. [=WAtO's=] Louise has seen much more of the evils of corrupt nobles than canon Louise, and has even been through multiple kidnapping attempts. And her sister Cattleya at one point ''was'' taken (though not for long, as Karin promptly went [[{{Taken}} Liam Neeson]] on her captors). All this has resulted in a Louise who shares her canon self's ideals but is much more cynical and sees the nobility as running counter to said ideals.

Throughout her life, Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere has been exposed to the evils of the nobility, the corruption of those in power. She believes fully in the duty of the nobility to protect and lead the people, and is disgusted with the twisted mockery of this duty it has become. But though she wants to do something about it, she knows there's nothing she can do. The nobility is too far gone to change it from within, and nobles' monopoly on magic ensures there's no way the common people can oppose them. And then she summons Seija.

Seija doesn't care even the tiniest bit about Louise's ideals or the plight of the common people. She just wants to turn the world order on its head. She failed in Gensokyo, but in this new world she sees a new opportunity. And all she needs to do is get Louise to awaken to her power as a void mage and lead the people as their savior.

* UnfoldingPlanMontage: Seija's plan to [[spoiler:seize control of Reconquista from Cromwell]] plays out this way.
