Name: Dungeon Keeper Ami [Link]
Series: Sailor Moon; Dungeon Keeper
Characters: Sailor Mercury/Mizuno Ami
Tags: Door Stopper, Comedy, Dark, Mistaken for Evil, Muggles do it better, Dungeon Punk
Rating: 10/10

Summery: Ami Mizuno is transported to the world of Dungeon Keeper and is forced to become a keeper herself. Now stuck in a world of Dark Gods, Evil Overlords, and the good guys out to kill her she has to fight to survive and hopefully find a way back.

Review: Epic. I tend to not use that word often to preserve as much of it's impact as possible. This story is just Epic, like the myths of old. There's great world building, making the land this story takes place in just pop right out and seem huge. The characters are all well written and the plot is just great. You can really tell alot of time, thought, an love went into this story. Don't be alarmed to much by the dark tag, while it does get quite gruesome or filled with adult horror it's never really gory or graphic, it's just to sell the realism of a medieval world filled with monsters and up the tension. It's filled with equal amounts of epic badassery, both in combat and in social settings, and hilarity. And don't worry if you don't know too much about Sailor Moon or Dungeon Keeper, you don't need any familiarity with either to enjoy this fic. If you like Worm than you are just going to love this.

 

Name: Goddess of Hope [Link]
Author: Dminion
Series: Fate/Zero; Puella Magi Magica Madoka
Characters: Kaname Madoka/Kotomine Kirei
Tags: Madokami, Saving Kirei
Rating: 7.5/10


Synopsis: It is intangible, it is believed by most, it is a powerful feeling. Now, it gains a form for which to influence an event that has wrought nothing but tragedy. Not all can survive, but perhaps they can still be saved, still be given a small chance for peace. The Goddess has answered the call. At the end all we can do is hope.

Summery: Rather than the epic douche-waffle that is the King of Heroes Tokiomi ends up summoning the personification of hope itself, Kaname Madoka. It's actually pretty good, and I had not expected it to really be more than Madokami Arrown'd every other servant. It's handles it pretty well, Madoka's physical stats are on the low side but she has a ridiculously powerful NP that should be obvious. There's decent character building and the action scenes are well done. It far above the average and most definitely in the 10% worth reading.

 

Sage

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9486691/1/Sage

Words: 227,980
Genre: Adventure/Romance
Rating: M

When Naruto is given a gift considered legendary even in a world where walking on water is a daily occurrence for some, will it lead him on a path towards peace or will the consequences of said gift leave a hole in his heart too large to fill?

After Teuchi and Ayame are killed, Naruto awakens the Rinnegan, and kills the people who did it. Scared that he'll be executed, he runs away, and is found by a monk from the Fire Temple. It's a pretty fun read, so far.

 

He's afraid he'll be executed... by ninja? By Gramps, specifically? For killing someone who killed Konoha civilians.

Moving on.

The Best Night Ever
Summary: Prince Blueblood thought the Grand Galloping Gala was over. He thought he could just go to sleep and put it behind him. He never expected to be reliving the same disaster of a day, over and over... and over.

Excellently written, tightly contained story that gets the Groundhog Day story right. The slow transformation from fool to sympathetic protagonist (with a break in the middle for shenanigans; the break, specifically, is 'mental'), a very good fakeout based on what Blueblood thought he wanted not being exactly what he needed, and a song and dance number ending. As it should be.

 

Well, they were military police, and he had just lost two people that he cared about, before killing two police officers. Plus, he was 7, at the time. Safe to say that his reasoning wasn't very rational at the time.

 

Just An Unorthodox Thief
By: The Infamous Man
Kotomine Kirei is a troubled man that only participated in the Holy Grail War to serve Tohsaka Tokiomi and meet Emiya Kiritsugu. In order to do both, he attempted to summon Hassan-I-Sabbah as the Servant Assassin. The Grail heard his plea and instead gave Kirei a rather... unorthodox thief. Gilgamesh better keep his Gate of Babylon locked at night...
Rated: Fiction M - English - Humor/Drama - Lupin, Saber, Kirei K., Assassin - Chapters: 20 - Words: 127,893 - Reviews: 590 - Favs: 457 - Follows: 364 - Updated: 9m ago - Published: Jan 2 - id: 8868025

Basically, Kirei summons Lupin, and shenanigans commence.

 

Despite the usual calibre of TIM's writing, this fic is actually pretty decent as far as the Lupin side of things goes. Then again, there's a shortage of any Lupin fanfic, so my standards for it are lower than my standards for a fandom like Harry Potter where there's more selection.

 

Truly a fight for the ages.

 

Haruna's Most EroEro Adventure is at least partially Canon. She introduced manga and Yaoi to that particular kingdom. Afterwards, she was hunted nearly to her death and forced to flee.

 

Nigel M Chalmers, Emperor and Cheesecake and Changelings , both by Dropbear271.

He has a third story, but I prefer these two. In the first one, Nigel M. Chalmers, a human from an advanced (but very violent) space civilization somehow appears near the Crystal Empire, right after it comes back, and kills Sombra, making himself the new empire in the process. In the second, Nigel gets sucked through a black hole in the back of his fridge while trying to get some cheesecake, and ends up in Equestria, turned into a changeling.

 

The last chapter of In Flight is up.

 

Good. Hopefully GB will focus on his shorter more concise works - that is where he tends to shine the best, where the longer the stuff he writes the more the quality drops. IF is a perfect example of that.

 

I liked it. And Kuu as a rebellious teenager was pretty cool. Mostly I'm glad it's wrapped up and GB can move on to other projects.

I'm a sucker for fish out of water fanfiction, so I'm biased, but I found these interesting. I'll have to see where they go but for now I can tentavitively second this recommendation.

 

Time to read the last four chapters then. After the whole Rin&Saber fight I stopped keeping track of it. Hopefully this mean that GB will focus in the more interesting ideas.

 

I thought that Hill of Swords was pretty good. I have to agree that In Flight's quality dropped, though.

 

I can only say that I'm impressed that he persevered despite such a negative response to the later chapters and finished the damn thing. That's more than most writers can say.
