History FanficRecs / ShakuganNoShana

* ''Synopsis'': What if Hecate had met Yuji first? [[InSpiteOfANail The world flows down a similar pattern to one already known]], [[ForWantOfANail but how different will this new path of possibilities be]]? Follow the story of a girl who learns that she is not just a Priestess.

* ''Comments'': Despite being a DeadFic, this is a truly fantastic story, one of the best ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana'' fanfics out there (not that there are many of said fanfics out there, quality or otherwise). The essential conceit of this story is that it is an AlternateUniverseFic. Markal then brilliantly illustrates how the story [[ForWantOfANail differs from the canon]] and how it [[InSpiteOfANail remains the same]]. The characterizations are fantastic: the core elements of the characters remain true to their canon counterparts, but Markal convincingly and organically demonstrates how the differing circumstances the characters are in would impact both the characters themselves and the plot. Just for example, take Shana and Yuji. Unlike her canon counterpart, her being a human/Mystes in this story means that while her essential {{Tsundere}} and hotheaded nature is retained, she is more well-versed in social norms and cognizant of her feelings than [[NoSocialSkills Flame Haze]] [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove Shana]]. Also, "Mystes Shana" plays a more active combat role than [[MissionControl "Mystes Yuji"]] (prior to his TookALevelInBadass). Flame Haze Yuji maintains the empathetic and compassionate nature of his canon self, but is a much more cunning Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter than canon Shana is. Finally, the writing and grammar are impeccable.

* Crossover with: ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', ''Anime/AnoHanaTheFlowerWeSawThatDay'', ''Manga/Nichijou''

These are recommendations made by Tropers for ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'' fanfics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found [[Main/FanficRecommendations here]].

* ''Comments'': Alongside ''Shakugan no Yuji?'', which is below, this is probably the best ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'' FanFic out there. The characterization and relationships are so spot on, that one can easily have seen the actual series unfolding in such a way. Hecate's motivations, her HeelFaceTurn, and her [[LoveRedeems interactions with Yuji]] are incredibly believable, the Crimson Denizens are portrayed empathetically without whitewashing their conduct, [[spoiler: Margery Daw sides with Bal Masqué for a very credible reason]], and the Flame Haze, while antagonists, do not suffer from RonTheDeathEater. Please note that [=JohnPeacekeeper=] has several other ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'' stories that are good and worth checking out, but this one is truly ''great''. In this story, he has thoroughly mastered characterization, plot development, and pacing. Please note that I am most emphatically a [=ShanaxYuji=] shipper, so understand how good this must be for me to recommend it.

* ''Synopsis'': "The Writer of Questionable Stories accidentally commits a horrible mistake. The world is displaced. Chaos ensues." Namely, the characters of ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'' have had their roles in the story switched, i.e., Sakai Yuji is the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter and Shana is the Mystes of the Reiji Maigo. Tremble, ye mortals.
