All Purpose Nanoha Fanfiction Thread!

Exactly What It Says on the Tin.

A thread to discuss and list, in this first post, various Nanoha Fanfics and ideas for tropers, BY tropers. Any genre, any pairing, crossovers as okay. Feel free to pimp your works. Here, I'll start.

RULES, such as they are:
1. A fic is as long or as short as you want.
2. Rule of Fun is in effect. If you're tired of the fic you're working on, stop. Though add the option for others to continue it.
3. When you post the next part of your fic, post a link to the previous part if it's not on the same page. This is option though
4. [[quoteblock]] is encouraged but not necessary.
5. Leave the Die for Our Ship at the door.

You have quad-posted the same thread.

I know. Unfortunately, I don't know how to delete the rest.

The yellow triangle above your post allows you to send a message to the mods reporting it. That's probably the best way.

Looks like they've taken care of it. Now, on to ideas. How does Nanoha becoming a Master in the Holy Grail War sound?

Her getting summoned as Archer makes much more sense to me.

Epic befriending ensues.

Edit: Sigh. I really should stop being lazy and get around to writing that Negima/Nanoha cross I proposed in the other thread, but now that I'm back at college I have too much other stuff demanding my attention. And I also have my classwork, heh.

Seriously though, this idea has been nagging me since last spring.

I'm thinking Nanoha summons her future self...

I had an idea for a Nanoha fanfic. Problem is, it sucked and I couldn't get anything coherent out of it.

What was it? Maybe someone else can take it up.

I've got a fanfic in the works, but I haven't had a chance to really write much down for it yet.

I'm also getting doubts on how well received it'll be, as the cast is almost entirely OCs.

^^ It's kinda hard to describe.

Edit: Well, here's an attempt:

Set roughly four years after A's (Assuming everyone still lives in earth, Nanoha isn't severely injured, and Hayate has recovered, I'm not too sure on the events during the time skip), and a new kid arrives at Nanoha's school.

Of course, the new guy isn't what he appears to be (Someone who looks bored/unhappy with moving from Britain to Japan), and is an artificial mage outfitted with a Lost Logia capable of absorbing magical energy.

Nanoha and Friends realise that he's a mage when he basically confronts them, informing them that they are 'targets'. Later on, a fight ensues, in which new guy shows that he's fairly skilled, but outmatched until he absorbs an apparently decisive hit, and begins to turn the battle around until he abruptly leaves.

To everyone's confusion, he acts as if nothing happened, and shows signs of being attracted to Fate, but whenever he is asked about that battle, he simply replies along the lines of 'My objective has been achieved'.

The reason for the battle was so that his 'mother', a scientist who hid herself away on earth can gather magical power with said Lost Logia, and eventually use her 'son' to attack the TSAB due to revenge, believing members of the TSAB murdered her son to cover up some sort of conspiracy.

That's the general gist of it. Some info left out, but I think this is enough to lol over and compile a novel of problems.

Sounds similar to the first season. Where do Alisa and Suzuka fit in, if at all?

There's a few more parallels I made unintentionally (between Fate and the new character, specifically), but as for Arisa and Suzuka... I hadn't thought much about them, since I don't really know what to do with them. Arisa would probably try and beat the hell out of New Guy once she hears that he battled Nanoha/Fate/Hayate, but not much else...

Which reminds me, I never mentioned fighting the Wolkenritter... Although, Signum would probably win before he could absorb much magic anyway.

Welp, I guess I might as well post my own little project. It's not really a Nanoha story, per se, so much as a Massively Multiplayer Crossover in which the TSAB plays a major role, but someone decided to put it on the MGLN fanfic recs page, so who am I to argue?

The work in question is The Doorstop, a sprawling Space Opera created in reaction to The Open Door. It's a single-divergence AU with a somewhat deconstructive take on the original's premise - to say what that divergence is would be a considerable spoiler, but suffice it to say that it occurs prior to the events of the story, and has very wide-ranging repercussions indeed.

And yes, there are magical explosions. Lots of magical explosions. And other sorts of explosions, too, but since this is a Nanoha recs thread, you're probably here for the magical ones.

Excerpt:

Two men stood in the office, both in the rather garish neon-trimmed clothing that appeared to be standard-issue on this world. One was the sort of unobtrusive clerkish type who was seemingly cloned in vats across the multiverse, and the other was a tall, craggy-featured individual dressed in a predominantly white outfit that looked very much like some sort of military uniform.

"Ah, hello," the latter said in a deep, smooth voice. "You are Colonel Yagami, yes? A pleasure to meet you."

"Likewise," Hayate replied. "Sir, we approached you because-"

He cut her off with a gesture and an amused smile. "Don't tell me. You're having problems with a bunch of well-intentioned extremists who are apparently trying to prevent some vast cosmic catastrophe and inflicting far more harm than good in the process. That about cover it?"

She stared at him. "How did you know?"

"We get a lot of those around here. I used to be one myself, in fact." He turned to the clerk. "Hoshino, get our guests something to drink, would you?"

"Of course, President Rossiu."

....That has the beginnings of something insanely awesome!

The Space-Time Administration Bureau has many famous figures: Nanoha Takamachi, Fate T. Harloawn, and Hayate Yagami.

...then there are...the lesser known people.

Section Thirteen: Just because they didn't save the world doesn't mean they don't do their jobs.

“Now, Langsley…” said the Senior Inspector, leaning back in his chair. “Word to wise: be careful while you’re at Section Thirteen.”

“Oh?” Anton tilted his head. “Why is that, sir?”

The older man scratched his head. “Well, how do I put this?” He looked over his desk before seeing the necessary implements. Reaching over, he picked up a piece of paper and a paperweight.

“Imagine, if you will, that this sheet of paper is the plans for a potential operation. The outcome of this mission is crucial, and will result in severe losses should it fail.”

Anton nodded. “I see, sir.”

The older man then indicated the paperweight. “Now, imagine that this represents Section Thirteen’s key members.”

Abruptly he brought the knick-nack down, crushing the sheet of paper underneath it. Anton stared.

“Now, Langsley, as an inspector I shouldn’t make accusations, and I don’t like to. But believe me when I say most of the officers there are…well, eccentric is a nice word for them. Powder kegs, ready to blow up at a moment’s notice – they’d never be accepted into any military other than ours.”

Anton blinked, adjusting his glasses. “But, sir, if that’s the case, why put them all in the same squad? That seems a bit foolish, doesn’t it?”

His superior shook his head. “Not to me. Just for example, Langsley, which would you rather have: one fox in several henhouses, or several foxes in one foxhouse?”

Anton thought about this. “Well, sir, there’s no such thing as a foxhouse.”

“…I know that, Langsley, I was using a – forget it.” The senior inspector leaned back in his chair. “My point is, Langsley, that this assignment will most likely be…different than your previous ones. Keep that in mind.”

The recruit nodded earnestly. “You don’t have to worry about a thing, sir. I have no problem with different.”

In truth, this was an utter lie: Anton, like many members of the Langsley family, had a huge problem with different. Rearrange the family photos on his desk, and he’d spend the better part of an hour putting them back to a T – as many a perpetrator had attested.

“I hope that’s the case, Langsley, because that’s what you’re going to get. Be ready for anything – dismissed.”

here's a rather interesting crossover fic with naruto http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5531781/1/Naruto_Arcane_Heart in which precia ends up landing outside of konoha after her attempt to reach alhazred,then the kyuubi cures her and revives alicia hoping to manipulate them into freeing himself.Precia begins to go back to being her old self and is allowed to stay in Konoha by the 3rd hokage and she and Alicia are allowed to become ninja's...as long as Precia adopts naruto.

somehow lost logia end up in other village's hands getting the TSAB involved,Jail Scaglietti shows up and Precia takes away Naruto's orange jumpsuit and that's terrible

Here's a suggestion: a fic where Nanoha gets handcuffed to one of her captured criminals, who belives that the TSAB is evil and facist for not letting people break the Prime Directive. Naturally, the handcuffs are lost logica, so she can't break free till they get the key from the criminal fortress.

So she has to saty at home, as fighting while dragging a weaker guy who should be in jail around is kinda dodgey legally, and of course the perp is like "You must be a evil facist, a real hero would screw the rules and do what's right, strawargumentstrawargumentstrawargument!" and in the end she breaks the rules to save the day, gets chewed out by her supeiriors, and gets the perp to give her and the TSAB some respect. good buddy cop flavor stuff.

That idea could be pretty cool, especially if Vivio was there to teach the perp a thing or to by way of concentrated cute.

So, my own fanfic revolves around a lost logia as well, or to be more precise a bajillion tiny ones - a swarm of tiny magically constructed creatures that looks like a cloud of black dust and have eaten most of the civilisation of a Bureau planet. Does that sound like it'd "fit" in the nanohaverse?

After the Mariages? Should work, yes. No weapons system is too freaky for Ancient Belka.

It's not what you write, but how you write it. Look into other Nanoha/Sailor Moon crossovers, see where they succeeded and failed, and try to make it appealing to both fandoms. That means comparing and contrasting the two sides (because they're not identical - Sailor Moon is something of a magical superhero show, whilst post-StrikerS Nanoha is military sci-fi), showing that both have their advantages and disadvantages, granting the heroes of both a chance to be awesome, and above all, refusing to character-bash.

In your story, the reason for the crossover is the Sailor Senshi screwing up and (with all the best intentions) kidnapping a child. That means that you need to put more thought and effort into making them likeable, sympathetic, and badass, because they're kicking off from a worse starting-point in the eyes of your readers. Otherwise, you've got just another bash-fic, and that's only going to appeal to half your readership at best.

Another idea!

Basically, a woman, freshly released from jail, recruits a team of 11 to pull off a heist on the TSAB in order to get a bag that can produce infinite money. (It was sealed away to prevent ecomonic collapse.) Of course, they fight with Nanoha and pretty much recreate the Ocean's 11 movie.

The twist is, the woman and the team are AU versions of Nanoha and company.
