Honestly, my love for fate and everything surrounding it isn’t strong enough to write a fanfic about it… but an idea did pop into my head while trying to figure out a way to write a progressive story without breaking the universe.
The nasuverse as a whole has the type of magic system that takes more than gives. If you aren’t some high end prodigy, then you might as well wait until your thirties to be ‘good’ at magic. The main character level Rin Tohsaka level talent isn’t something everyone has. After all, this is a system where even the Magic Circuits hurt.
Activating the Magic Circuits is like using something foreign in the body. It heats up the body (something Kiritsugu used to hunt Mages that really needed to die).
It’s hard to make an upbeat story when everything related to magic is dark. The only way to do that is to not be related to a magic family in any way. Just enjoying a normal, mundane life.
But I got sidetracked.
Anyway…
The idea was using a mix between that one Illya magical spin off as a base for a progression story where there a certain differences in history. The main character has a Dual Origin attribute called ‘Self-Adjustment and Correction’. He made a deal with Darius Ainsworth about something regarding Pandora’s Box, but does not remember what.
For those who don’t know, the magical girl spin-off starring Illya (shirou’s sister) has two universes. The one where a ‘Perfect Holy Grail Vessel’ was born (where Einzburn were replaced by a household called Ainzworth) and the more normal universe that Illya was born into.
By messing with the history of the Ainzworth Family and the main villain, Darius Ainzworth, I had effectively made it possible for ANYTHING to happen in this new timeline. Meaning that a lot of tragedies for Fate/Zero can be prevented.
Darius Ainzworth’s ability to manipulate space with an attribute ‘to connect to something impossible’ also explains why a fate fan could transmigrate or reincarnate into the universe.
That’s the gist of the idea anyway.
I haven’t really been able to get far in the concept itself other than the main character appearing where Shirou was found, and becomes an assistant to Kiritsugu in this new timeline where he properly trains Shirou (basically Oath Under Snow if you seen that movie).
Sigma should be hired for a certain mother/son to reunite, and Illya needs saving in this world that has BOTH the Einzburn and Ainzworth. It also has double the narcissists with Shinji and Julian. Zouken should die in a grail war early on so that stuff with Sakura doesn’t happen.
The main character specialises in Reinforcement Magic and isn’t much better than Shirou in terms of Magic Circuit potential. Not having the potential to cast high level magic beyond basics like Shirou. His specialty being body related.
I’m unsure what to do with this idea as I don’t have the time to write it recently. The more I think about it, the more the Nasuverse magic system gives me a headache. I’m also not confident in doing the idea justice (since my Gardener writing is pretty all over the place).
If this post helped someone think of their own fanfic idea or wants to use this one, then my job is done (even though I’ve done nothing). Hurray for randomly sharing ideas on a forum.
The rest is on any inspired fanfic writer who finds this idea interesting.
