Fate / Touhou Servant Caster Post

Marisa Kirisame, the Witch of Crimson Nightmares Primary Class : Caster (Secondaries : Archer) Strength : E+ Endurance : D Agility : A Magic : A Luck : C (Ex) Skills: Territory Creation: C While Marisa can create a workshop, she does not invest much time or energy in it, leading to a mediocre design Item Creation: C+++ While Marisa can't create the wonders many other casters can, she is incredibly skilled at creating many minor magic items quickly. Within a day she can create an entire arsenal of single use magic items. Magecraft: A(+++) While a hedge mage, Marisa has a near instinctive ability to read into other people's spells. This allows her to quickly analyze enemy magic and even reuse it, though at lowered rank. Her own spells focus on Fire, Light, and Necromancy. Danmaku Mastery : B Skill in danmaku style dueling. While non lethal, the skill trains many combat skills. This level of mastery allows for near impossible dodges. Noble Phantasm :

Mini Hakkero : B (Anti Army) A small device that carries the eternal flame, this simple tool allows Marisa to enhance her combat magic a full three ranks on a whim. Sacred Sword Kusanagi : D (Anti Person) The Imperial sword of Japan, it's rank is vastly decreased in Marisa's hands due to her not being of noble blood. However she can still use it's power to control the winds. When combined with the eternal flame, this can turn into a dangerous attack with near unlimited power. Improbability Potion : EX (Enhancement) The culmination of her research, the potion made her a youkai, despite being designed not to. Like all Magician youkai, that spell is imbued on her soul, giving Marisa this unique ability. A strange power that hands the user a goal they are actively avoiding. For example, if Marisa used it while running away from a battle, a portal would open in front of her, dropping her into the fight. It could be considered an ability to make the users the luckiest or unluckiest person alive, depending on the whims of fate. Due to her lack of control over the power, Marisa rarely uses it. The Crimson Nightmare Witch has been famed for a long time, ever since she destroyed the City of the Dead. A witch feared worldwide for her mastery of attack magic, and her willingness to use it. Her true personality is that of an irreverent woman with little concern for rules or strictures.

A caster who prefers to fight on the front lines, she's considered one of the most dangerous servants despite how common magic resistance is in the grail war. Her master needs to be far more worried about their servant's thieving habits.

Patchouli Knowledge, the Great Unmoving Library

Primary Class : Caster

Strength : E

Endurance : E-

Agility : D

Magic : A

Luck : D

Skills:

Territory Creation: A

Patchouli can create a ‘Library’, which is superior to a 'Workshop’.

Item Creation : B+++

Patchouli’s item creation skills are average, however she has spent a great deal of time to learn how to construct a Philosopher’s Stone, and can create that item with little effort.

Philosopher’s Stone : A

At A Rank, a counterfeit immortality can be bestowed upon a target. In addition she can sacrifice the stones as imitation gemcraft gems.

Magecraft: A+

A Grand Master of Kabbalistic magic, Patchouli knows more elemental spells than any other mage in existence, in addition to understanding all other branches of magic. Beyond that as a true Mage, she has access to High Thaumaturgy even as a Servant manifested by the Grail. Her poor health however makes casting spells with a large number of lines difficult.

Noble Phantasm:

Voile, the Grand Library : EX (Enhancement)

Patchouli can call upon the library she was most famous for. The ultimate repository of the witch who named herself Knowledge. Originally miscatagorized as a Reality Marble, it’s actually a transportation spell that displaces the surroundings with the actual Library. After centuries being displaced in time and space, it takes almost no effort for Patchouli to bring the Library forth.

With millennia of research at her fingertips, Patchouli can create items and spells easily, as well as research whatever she desires.

While hardly a combat magus, the temptation to summon the famed witch of knowledge has to be great. After all who wouldn’t dream of reading the many tomes of Voile? But, it would be better to do this outside a Grail War.

In the event that she was summoned however it is likely Patchouli would try to leave the fighting to familiars and traps, creating a magical fortress around her Library. However if faced in direct combat she’d use her vast array of elemental spells to crush any attackers. Masters are unlikely to receive much direct opposition, but her tongue is very sharp.

Yuki, Baroness of Consuming Flame Primary Class : Caster Strength : E Endurance : D Agility : B Magic : A Luck : D

Skills : Territory Creation : A- Yuki can create a "Barony" which is stronger than a workshop, however it needs to be staffed to reach its full potential. Charisma : D Capable of running a massive household with few conflicts. Blessed by Fire : B Fire elementals will avoid conflict with her, non magical fire won't burn her, she can ignore smoke, and she has a great resistance to magical fire. Magecraft: B(A) Yuki is a master mage, knowing a wide array of spells and high thaumaturgy. She has a focus on fire spells and transmutation, and can use both abilities at a higher rank. Unlike many other mages from the era, Yuki will use her magic to shapeshift herself and others instead of just boosting physical powers. Noble Phantasm: Soul of Fire : B (Anti-Army) Yuki's mage transformation turned her very soul into elemental fire, and this spell proves that to the universe. When used everything within range will catch fire instantly. Anything that can burn will, even if the substance is wet or has a very high flash point. This includes Yuki herself, though that won't hurt the mage. As might be expected, over time the number of casters available to the grail war has increased. Magicians always desire something great, just the lack of fame prevented Magi from advancing. Yuki stands slightly above the new crowd, both magically and due to her old position within Makai's hierarchy.

As a servant Yuki goes full speed ahead. She'll use her weak summoning and powerful shapeshifting abilities to go on the attack. Masters had best accept her determination, or there will be trouble. She has little respect for the master servant contract, and even less respect for mages weaker than her.

Mai, Treacherous Maiden Primary Class : Caster Strength : D Endurance : B Agility : A Magic : A Luck : C

Skills : Territory Creation : B Creation of a Workshop is possible. Divinity : D Mai stole the body of a Fallen Angel. While this makes her two stages removed from true divinity, the original rank of Angels is such she still maintains a divine connection. Honeyed Words : C The ability to convince others Mai is working in their interests. While she is famed for her betrayals of Lady Shinki's many enemies, she's capable of convincing targets that 'this time it's different'. Magecraft : B(A) Yuki is a master of summoning and binding, with knowledge of many other fields of magic on the side. She possesses knowledge of many High Thaumaturgies. Noble Phantasm: Corruption of the Fallen : D (Anti Area) Having stolen the body of a fallen angel, Mai can use her body's ability to corrupt the natural world around her. Corrupted areas and animals are hostile to everything except demons. The stain on the world doesn't linger past a day due to Mai not being a true fallen angel, but she can effortlessly continue the corruption if she's in the area. Another magician, Mai is far more stereotypically evil then her partner Yuki. The betrayer is well known for using her tricks to maintain Shinki's control over her netherworld, and that legend infuses her makes her even more dark when summoned as a servant. That combined with the fact that she rarely speaks will try any master's patience.

A traditional caster, Mai will use her ability to summon familiars and demons to amass a army. She rarely fights openly, using betrayal and servants to get her kills. If forced into direct battle she's surprisingly strong due to her angelic body, but that's her last resort.

Eirin Yagokoro, Brain of the Moon Primary Class : Caster Strength : C Endurance : A Agility : B Magic : A+++ Luck : E-

Skills : Divinity : A Eirin Yagokoro is a greater god, even with her renunciation of Lunar Society. She has some of the highest divinity. Territory Creation : EX Eirin can create a “Sealed World” which is effectively an alternate reality. Within that world she can alter physics to create a maze, and hold several specialized workshops. Item Creation : EX Eirin’s creations are limited only by the grail and the mana of her master. Her creations rival the strongest magic and technology, and within her territory she has a nigh unlimited supply of materials Magecraft : A++ Eirin can use any spell that isn’t a True Magic. She has created spells unknown to modern magi. Her sole weakness is that she often forgets what spells she has access to and has to recreate them. Brain of the Moon : A Eirin can analyze anyone she meets, quickly building a profile of them and determining how they’ll act in a variety of situations. This is most effective outside of combat, as impulsive decisions are harder to predict. Noble Phantasm : Hourai Elixir : EX (Anti Self) Eirin Yagokoro can not be killed. Her existence is part of the universe, and causality will erase any lethal damage she suffers.. The only way to stop this process is to kill her Master or drain them of mana. How it is possible to even summon Eirin Yagokoro is a mystery. Possibly it is due to her creating the new grail system. Whatever allows it, this Eirin is obviously just a facsimile, as all the hourai people will never die and join the throne of heroes. The grail system similarly limits her abilities. The real Eirin is much stronger.

Still a simple look at her stats reveals her power. She would appear to be a strong servant to summon. Any mage believing that should probably be killed before they do something stupid. Eirin Yagokoro is a genius who acts in her own interests, and her only interest in this form is winning the grail. She will almost certainly kill her master to prevent any of her secrets from leaving. Add to that the fact that the only way to stop her is to kill her master, and death becomes almost certain.

No one is quite sure why she has an E- rank luck stat. Possible reasons include the grail disliking her, her other stats being too high, or perhaps Eirin isn’t quite as lucky as she appears. Sadly this is likely to remain conjecture.

Kaguya Houraisan, the Eternal Princess Primary Class : Caster (Archer) Strength : C Endurance : A Agility : C Magic : A Luck : B

Skills : Charisma : A++ At this level it's honestly more of a curse. She can charm the entire world, but she can't guarantee respect. It's likely she'll end up with a mess of suitors again. Territory Creation : A+ Kaguya can create a court, superior to a Workshop. The court comes staffed with rabbit familiars. Collector : C Kaguya has collected a large number of items. Summoning her as a Caster lowers the skill a rank, but she can still easily produce items of high quality and rarity at a whim. Magecraft : C++ While Kaguya's magecraft is low, she has access to several powerful mystic codes and reagents allowing her to cast very powerful spells. Battle Continuation : C Kaguya has a very high pain tolerance, and can fight through incredible suffering. Noble Phantasm : Hourai Elixir : EX (Anti Self) Kaguya can not be killed. Her existence is part of the universe, and causality will erase any lethal damage she suffers.. The only way to stop this process is to kill her Master or drain them of mana. Impossible Request : EX (Anti Person) The right to battle the Moon Princess must be earned. Kaguya is immune to attacks from a person until the person offers her an item equivalent to a holy relic or noble phantasm. Kaguya of course gains the item, and becomes its owner.

Counterfeit items can be offered to her, allowing a single attack, but after that blow the universe will retaliate against the cheater, turning their efforts against them. Right of Ownership : EX (Anti-Grail) As the current owner of the grail, Kaguya can ignore command seals. This breaks her servant contract with her master, while at the same time using a lot of mana, so she quickly loses form after using it.

While the grail refused to give us information on this ability, researchers know she used this at the end of the second grail war in her Archer form. It's unlikely the switch to Caster would remove it. Due to her summoning as an Archer during the second new grail war, we have a great deal of information on Kaguya. She claimed at the time to want to earn the grail for herself, as she earned her other treasures. She was much more active than reports of her claim, using her myriad of noble phantasms to nearly win, before her master tried to take her as his own prize and got killed.

Her Caster form was listed due to her unique Noble Phantasm, and because listing her Archer's powers would be a research project in itself. Likely if summoned as a Caster, she'd be more defensive, remaining in her court and defeating enemies one by one.

Byakuren Hijiri, the Fallen Youkai Nun Primary Class : Caster Strength : D+++ Endurance : C+++ Agility : C+++ Magic : A Luck : C

Skills : Self Enhancement : A Unlike other Casters, Byakuren does not create a territory outside her body, but rather she focuses that power inside her body. This grants her incredible physical prowess, at the cost of the magical boost territory creation normally provides. Magecraft : C While Byakuren's Magecraft is relatively low for a caster, she has access to unique spells that no other living magician knows. Even other heroic spirits find her spells confusing. Charisma : D The charisma needed to start a cult. It won't convert those opposed to her ideas, but it will quickly gather those interested in the possibilities she offers. Unnatural Body : E A fake "Natural" Body skill created by her magic. At this level it mostly allows her to keep her body shape no matter how many calories she eats. Ride : E Mastery of motorcycles and motorcycle variants. Researchers are still baffled why she has this skill. Byakuren refuses to comment. Noble Phantasm : Superhuman Byakuren : B (Enhancement) The spell that made Byakuren a true magician. This is her dedication to becoming eternally youthful and strong, even if it makes her a demon. When she activates it, her physical abilities go up yet another rank, and she gains resistance to damage. Like her brother, Byakuren Hijiri is a very physical Caster, using heavy blows to defeat her enemies. However she uses black magic instead of divine power to accomplish this. While this means her strength isn't as great, she does have access to a number of magical spells and mystic codes to add to her strength.

While it's odd for a monk who preaches tolerance and equality to take part in a war, everyone in the Gensoukyo region can attest to Byakuren's confrontational nature. She likely will push forth her unique brand of Buddhism with her words and her fists equally. Her master had best agree with her values if they don't want a turbulent relationship.

Seiga, the Wicked Hermit Primary Class : Caster Strength : D Endurance : D Agility : C Magic : B Luck : D

Skills : Territory Creation : B Creation of a Workshop is possible. Magecraft : B Seiga is especially knowledgeable about taoist magic and necromancy. Item Creation : B The ability to create items and servitors. Seiga especially likes building jiang-shi. Noble Phantasm : Eternal Servitude of the Maiden : EX (Anti Person) When Seiga was a young woman she was taught many things by example. She was taught the Tao was more important than family, that wisdom brought power, and that love and friendship were transient.

And so was born the wicked Hermit.

However she desired someone she could trust. Someone who she could rely on even in her darkest times. And her twisted mind came up with a plan. She’d make someone who would protect and serve her, even beyond death. And so was born Yoshika Miyako. Where Seiga goes, she follows.

—–

Yoshika Miyako, Demi-servant Class : Shielder Strength : C Endurance : B Agility : E Magic : E Luck : E

Yoshika’s Skills : Undead Body : A Yoshikais already dead, and thus ignores pain and physical damage. If struck down she will rise again unless her body is totally destroyed. Service : A Yoshika serves Seiga unfailingly, using her own body as a shield, so long as her seal remains on her head. No magecraft can override this.

—-

Seiga the Wicked Hermit is not a very well known figure, but Crown Prince Miko still mentions her. The grail reveals her in all her twisted glory. Possibly one of the most dangerous hermits ever to live, if only because she believes in her warped philosophies.

Another traditional Caster, Seiga will happily use Yoshika as a shield and sword while she prepares familiars and items to unleash on her enemies. However unlike most Casters, her master will have to keep her entertained, otherwise she’ll go wandering out looking for fun herself.

Mamizou Futatsuiwa, Tanuki Master Strategist Primary Class : Caster (Assassin) Strength : C Endurance : B Agility : C Magic : A Luck : C

Skills : Territory Creation : C Creation of a "Hideaway" is possible. While not giving a bonus to her magical abilities, it grants her Presence Concealment within the area. Shapeshifting : A+ Mamizou can transform into almost any form, including other youkai and inanimate objects. She can also imitate other humans or servants with great skill. Magecraft : C++ Her magical skill is more that of a hedge mage then a true master. However she has a number of mystic codes and artifacts, and her mastery of illusions is on a totally different level than her other magic. Charisma : C- Mamizou is quite adept at gathering other tanuki to her cause. However she's less adept at handling other youkai. Noble Phantasm : Futatsuiwa Clan's Curse : B (Anti Person) Tanuki are trickster who use their powers to befuddle and bring down those that think themselves strong. This spell uses the shapechanging and trickery of the tanuki to transform Mamizou's foe into a harmless animal or lesser youkai. This strange power is considered a Marble Phantasm, as it's linked closely to the nature of the floating world.

Strangely Mamizou's own magic is sealed while this spell is in effect. It's not certain if the ability uses all her magic, or if the nature of the spell forces her to play "fair". The ancient leader of the tanuki, Mamizou is an oddball even for the time period. She's famous not for any one action, but centuries of little acts. And her abilities reflect that. The power to scurry back and forth between her hideout, harrying and harassing enemies and allies alike. Masters should expect that's how she'll approach a grail war.

Interviews with tanuki state she's cheerful most of the time, and actually surprisingly helpful to people, unless they're foxes. Her rivalry with kitsune is irrational, but inescapable. She also can have a mean streak, but it's mostly for show. Mostly. Masters should remember that.

Aya Shameimaru, Grand Paparazzi Primary Class : Caster Strength : B Endurance : C Agility : A++ Magic : B Luck : B Skills : Territory Creation : C Aya can create a “Study”, where she writes and prints her papers. Tengu Art of War : C The battle techniques taught by the Tengu. Aya studied when she was a child, but she forgot most of her lessons by the time she became well known. Provides bonuses to close-combat power such as swordsmanship, archery and spearmanship, as well as Skills such as Military Tactics and Magic Resistance. Magic Resistance : D Cancels Single-Action spells. Magic Resistance of the same degree of an amulet that rejects magical energy. Master of the Winds : A As a elemental of the air, Aya can control the winds as a Marble Phantasm. At this level even gale force winds can be controlled. Danmaku Mastery : C As someone who studied danmaku for a long time, Aya has an above average mastery of the art. At this level of practice, she can perform dodges even at high speed. Noble Phantasm : Camera that Captures the Soul : C Tengu apparently mastered the art of conceptual weaponry earlier than previously thought, though mostly by accident. Taking from the legends of cameras stealing the soul, Tengu empowered their cameras to capture magical energy. As a famous tengu of that era, and one of the most famous photographers, she has perhaps the most powerful camera, one infused with the strength of her legend.

Aya’s camera can absorb any magic or prana that it snaps a photo of, using that power to charge itself. This ability can affect any spell or ability short of True Magic, and can even damage servants, though the power is fairly small. She’d have to take several dozen photos to drain a servant, and they’d be able to fight until the last speck of magic left them. Also she has to wind between each photo. Aya is another youkai whose legend benefited from being a friend of the first Shogun, though she was always an odd bird among her society. A rumormonger and photographer who was constantly interested in the world outside tengu society, Aya flitted across Gensoukyo and then the world, getting (and making up) stories.

As a Caster she’s somewhat mediocre. Her camera abilities, and story creation don’t really offer much offensively, and she lacks actual understanding of magecraft. Her real power is in her control of the wind. Still she’ll happily report on the conflict while she’s here. Perhaps even making a little if it’s a dull stretch.

Hatate Himekaidou, Hellish Spymistress Primary Class : Caster Strength : C Endurance : D Agility : A+ Magic : A Luck : C Skills : Territory Creation : C Hatate can create a “Study”, where she writes and prints her articles. Tengu Art of War : D The battle techniques taught by the Tengu. Hatate was a poor study to start and let her skills slack off. Provides bonuses to close-combat power such as swordsmanship, archery and spearmanship, as well as Skills such as Military Tactics and Magic Resistance. Magic Resistance : C Cancel spells with a chant below two verses. Cannot defend against magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals. Hatate’s enhanced magic resistance comes from her time in hell where she learned to resist the spirits floating about. Master of the Winds : A+ As a elemental of the air, Hatate can control the winds as a Marble Phantasm. At this level even gale force winds can be controlled. She lacks Aya’s creativity, but she has stronger magical power. Thoughtography : A The ability to take a picture of anything that she knows exists. This power can bypass dimensions and realities, allowing for remote surveillance of anyone, anywhere. It’s only limitation is that it takes some time to take the photos. Noble Phantasm : Judgement of the Press : E The manifestation of Hatate’s insane devotion to reporting the truth. By researching, writing, and publishing an expose on someone, she can alter public perception of her target even if no one reads her article. This can lead to people knowing the person’s name, actions, abilities, and even influence them towards liking or disliking the victim. As the power targets the populace not the subject of the article, magic resistance or mental pollution is meaningless.

While the article represents only Hatate’s truth, she will never stoop to using lies with this power. Often called the Shogun’s spymistress, Hatate honestly had far more connections to the old hell. However no matter what, she was famous for her dedication to her ideal of truth. As nebulous and dangerous as that is for a youkai. Her summoner will find her young, idealistic, but not totally clueless about life and combat.

Still she’s a terrible choice for a war. She’s only barely a caster, and her powers are great at helping other servants, but useless one on one. Add to that her unwillingness to sacrifice herself for lies and you end up with a rebellious servant who can’t win the war on her own.

Sanae Kochiya, Maiden of Miracles Primary Class : Caster Strength : E Endurance : D Agility : B Magic : A Luck : A++ Skills : Territory Creation : C Sanae can create a "Shrine" which enhances her mystical powers. Item Creation : E Sanae can create fortunes, holy amulets and other trinkets. Divinity : B A living goddess and a figure of worship in her own right, Sanae has a fairly high divinity. Magecraft : A- Sanae is a master of shinto magic, along with several other rituals. In addition her connection to her goddesses gives her access to a number of other magical rituals and spells. However she is limited to acceptable divine spells. Noble Phantasm : The Power of Miracles : A As a living goddess, Sanae can perform miracles. Unlike the wishing power of the grail, or the miracles of saints however, Sanae can't create new miracles easily. Instead she has the unique ability to duplicate previously performed miracles. Given the range of divine miracles across time however that gives her access to an incredible range of abilities. From turning water into wine, to stopping the sun in the heavens.

She can try use her powers outside existing miracles, but it mostly just boosts her luck. It's difficult to discern whether this Sanae is the one from the early era of Gensoukyo, or from during the early New Era. After careful study, it's most likely she's an amalgamation of the two legends. Or perhaps if rumors of her reincarnation are true, the same legend twice over. In either case Sanae is excitable, cheerful, and kind hearted, if occasionally somewhat dense. The grail seems to leave out some modern knowledge, not enough to hinder, but enough to make her obviously displaced.

Sanae is a passable Caster, though her Noble Phantasm is quite expensive for the Magus commanding her. She's unlikely to thrive in a war though. While she won the Grail War during Gensoukyo's golden age, it was mostly because the stronger servants all killed each other.

Alice Margatroid, the Girl of Death Primary Class : Caster Strength : D Endurance : D Agility : A+ Magic : A+++ Luck : C

Skills: Territory Creation : B+ Alice can create an Atelier, a Workshop that specializes in item creation. Item Creation : B+++ Alice specializes in creating dolls. When focused on doll creation she can even create sentient dolls, given enough resources and time. Magecraft : A- Alice is a skilled magician who knows almost every field. However she has personal issues with elemental manipulation, causing a slight weakness in that area. Protection of the Muse (True) : A As one chosen by the Grimoire of Alice, she is blessed by the muses of storytelling, acting, poetry, dance, and puppeteering. All skills and magecraft related to those fields are enhanced. Noble Phantasm : Little Doll Legion : E The inexhaustible supply of doll warriors at Alice’s command. These smaller dolls can wield weapons, serve as a magic conduit, and explode at a whim. However the dolls are connected to her by her strings, so she can only use them in close proximity. While a weak noble phantasm, it requires no magic from her master, so she can use it whenever she needs to. Through the Looking Glass : EX (Anti-World) As the most knowledgeable Alice, she has turned the Grimoire into a weapon of her own. By performing a High Thaumaturgy ritual, she can open a link between the World and the Fantasy within the Grimoire. The area affected starts small, but increases in size as she adds stanzas. Every target within the area of effect is sucked into the story of the Grimoire. A world where “Alice” is the sole heroine.

There is some danger in using this offensively though. Other young girls might become an “Alice.” And there are heroes and Noble Phantasms capable of destroying a world. However most will at best be stranded in an alternate realm, with escape being very difficult. Alice is interesting, in that she’s perhaps the most well known Alice, and yet she pales in comparison to her more rowdy companions. Still the Rainbow Colored Puppeteer carved her name into history with her innovative dollcraft techniques, and a willingness to stuff high explosive devices into plush toys.

A hybrid caster, she’ll clash with other Servants behind her doll screen. However she’s not very big on conflict, and will often retreat if she’s not winning. Similarly she’s harsh and judgemental, especially to other Servants and her Master, but reasonable. She’ll do her best to crush her foes, in a dazzling display of puppetry.

Ran Yakumo, Fox Shikigami Primary Class : Caster (Berserker) Strength : B Endurance : B Agility : B Magic : A+ Luck : C Skills : Territory Creation : A+ Can create a “Hidden Village” superior to a Workshop. It especially enhances her scrying abilities. Item Creation : C She has the ability to create mystic relics and codes, but she rarely does so. Shapeshifting : A She can transform into almost any shape, though she prefers her humanoid kitsune form. Magecraft : B++ Ran knows a number of spells, but she specializes in surveillance and boundary manipulation. She’s one of the two magicians in existence capable of duplicating Yukari’s signature ability. Inescapable Calculations : A Ran is a master mathematician, and she’s put her calculations in use in combat. This skill grants her a bonus to dodging, close combat and grappling moves. Noble Phantasm : Shikigami’s Link - Nil Ran’s story and nature are tied far closer to her stint as a shikigami than any other hero. When summoned she appears in that form, preventing her from gaining a true Noble Phantasm, but making her a true shikigami to her master. This means she has a familiar link to her Master, and can access any of her Master’s powers and spells. In addition she gains a bonus to all stats when she’s acting as her Master desires, even without the use of command spells. However when acting against her master she suffers a penalty in all stats. Ran Yakumo is a subject of intense historical debate. As a shikigami and kitsune, Ran is a huge series of magical contradictions. As the sage, ruler, and protector of Gensoukyo for a period of time Ran similarly has a number of faces she used to maintain power. The only thing everyone agrees on is she’s a coldly calculating genius, but not deliberately evil.

She might be the most Servant like Servant. Her shikigami ability gives her master great control and ability to use her casting ability. In addition she’s a close combat caster, using her strength and calculations to grapple and kill her enemies. She’s not an unquestioning servant, but it will take a lot of effort to get her to disagree with her master.

SCRAPBOOK 2017 TAKE 3, I GUESS!

Scrapbook for the third part of 2017, because tumblr doesn’t like it when you have a million links on one post hates me. Though I guess I have been paying a lot more attention to the music parts of these, so sigh.

Once more unto the breach!

Italicized titles = enjoyed muchly, bold titles = love, titles with an asterisk* = OBSESSION and titles in (brackets) are re-watches/re-reads. And lastly, strikethough = DISLIKE.

Goals are: read thirty-five new books this year (hah! still behind!), finish four video games (done? i think?), finish writing and publish the Sabriel AU (hah. hah.), and write something original (yeah, not doing so great on the goals here).

DELIGHTFUL FIC

September

Mating Patterns of the Wild Mustang by @tierfal (FMA; Royed; 3k; In which Colonel Mustang gives a practical demonstration, and everyone gets a bit more than they bargained for.)

Getting Off Easy by @tierfal (FMA; Royed; 7k; Ed happens upon the unsettling revelation that Mustang is desirable, and Roy happens upon the implacable revelation that Edward is off-limits. A story in two halves.)

The Relative Merits of Wanting and Getting by cupidsbow (SGA; Mcshep; 6k; An accident with an Ancient device changes Rodney's course.)

Water Your Dreams by amireal, Ladycat (SGA; Mcshep; 13k; "It didn't occur to me until later that you actually meant a boat.")

Happily Ever After (the Pegasus remix) by cupidsbow (SGA; Mcshep; 4k; One (glass slipper) alien device. One (romantic quest) typical Atlantis lab accident. One revelation of (true love) something far more ironic.)

(P O I S O N by goddamnhella (Inuyasha; Inuyasha/Sesshomaru; 160k; The adventure is over: the heroes have all gone home. But one story was never told, one that began when two brothers swore their feud would never end. But the battle against Sou'unga may have changed everything.))

Theft of a Thief by FortunesRevolver (P5; Yusuke/Akira; 5k; “Yes,” Akira hissed, a hand coming up to cover Ann’s mouth before she could go any further. “I really like artistic… coffee.”)

By Any Other Name by astolat (Witcher 3; Emhyr/Geralt; 25k; Vesemir wasn’t sure what he’d done to deserve any of this.)

talk with your fingertips by citadelofswords (EOS10; Ryan/Akmazian; 1k; The thing is, when you’re an interplanetary terrorist on the run from most of the Alliance, people tend to not want to do more than grab a drink with you. It sucks, not being hugged in over ten years, but Akmazian deals with it.

October

The Course of Honour by Avoliot (Original; M/M; 117k; When Jainan arrived on Iskat to represent his home planet in a diplomatic marriage to Imperial Prince Taam, he was naïve enough to hope the match would work. Taam knew better. Five years later, his confidence shattered, Jainan is released when Taam dies in an accident, only to be faced with another marriage to help salvage his treaty. Jainan understands how the real world works now; but Prince Kiem - the cheerful, scandal-prone darling of the Iskat celebrity magazines - keeps breaking all the rules he's learned.)

Fifteen Men in September by ballantine (Black Sails; Flint/Silver; 34k; Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest, Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!)

Break the Lock by Ruby_Wednesday (Captive Prince; Damen/Laurent; 25k; It should have been simple – the hold-up, heist, armed robbery, whatever you want to call it. Damen called it working for the family business. He was ready to storm into the casino and take a chunk of cash back from the Veretians. They'd taken enough from his side.He was ready, waiting, and then someone else arrived into the alleyway with bright blue eyes the only things visible through the black mask. After that, it wasn't simple.)

(Men Who Had Mothers by zeitgeistic (Harry Potter; Drarry; 11k; This is what happens when you spend all of your time trying to save the world and never bother to see what you're saving. Inspired by vegans, philosophy, mothers, docks, and hopes and dreams.))

Leviathan by manic_intent (Dishonored; Corvo/Daud/Outsider; 32k; In the end, Corvo has no one to blame but himself. He, after all, had been the first to spare Daud after besting the assassin in a duel.)

Patience on a Monument by betts (GoT; Jaime/Brienne; 21k; Having a Jaime in your life means living in a soap opera, except you can’t DVR it to watch later, and the main character sometimes ends up in your guest bedroom for an undisclosed period of time because he has a woefully codependent relationship with his sister.)

Single Use Weapon by Fahye (Kings; Jack/David; 67k; "The king is dead," says Samuels. "Long live the king.")

Confidence Artists by Fahye (The Road to El Dorado; Miguel/Tulio/Chel; 10k; The grey light of Spain carries their history with it, and it's gleaming through the cracks.)

November

The Rite Stuff by @tierfal (FMA; RoyEd; 23k; All magic is blood magic. And all vampires are bastards, although in that case, Ed's working from a sample size of one.)

ebb and flow to multiply by lehtonen (Stranger Things; Jonathan/Nancy/Steve; 11k; And so it went: the monster was defeated, Will Byers was returned to his family, Steve got the girl, and life in Hawkins picked itself up, dusted itself off, and carried on much the same as it had before, with scarce as much as a backwards glance.)

Athelas by astolat (Thor; Thor/Loki; 20k; There was a sharp and bitter edge crept into the words, a reminder that not all was well: that Thor still had a brother, but not a friend.)

(Shatter by Aria (Thor; Thor/Loki; 30k; "Loki," Odin says, heavy with disappointment and regret for all he has to raise his voice, "Odinson. I cast you out."))

Colours in Your Eyes by Batsutousai (FMA; Royed; 23k; Everyone is born with the ability to only see the colour of their soulmate's eyes. Only upon touching their soulmate, can people see the rest of the world's colours. Edward Elric will do whatever it takes to get his brother's body back and ensure he can have his happily ever after with his soulmate, even if it means never finding his own soulmate.)

A Second Chance at First Impressions by Cobrilee (TW; Sterek; 7k; Derek grew up with the world's most embarrassing soulmark, which is honestly not the best first impression his soulmate could make. Then he meets the guy, and all of a sudden the soulmark doesn't matter quite so much after all.)

Think Once, Think Twice by Fahye (Brooklyn Nine-Nine; Amy/Jake; 47k; "First one to cry annulment covers the other's weekends for six months," Jake says instantly.)

December

Judas by PepperPrints (The Punisher; Billy/Frank; 6k; What Billy wants, here and now… he wants Frank, with his big hands shuffling cards, his deep voice naming stars, his heavy body keeping Billy upright.)

Inclement Weather by jadepresley (HP; Drarry; 24k; Draco is the best Unspeakable the Ministry have; his skill in magical control makes him the perfect person to help a struggling Harry Potter learn to contain his wild magic.)

through and through with fire by notbecauseofvictories (Thor; Gen; 4k; It takes the combined strength of Thor, Loki, and Valkyrie to drag Hela onto the Grandmaster’s ship, though Loki gets a split lip for his trouble and Hela’s nails leave deep gouges in the leather of Thor’s vambraces.)

Within Monsters by AnonymousMink (Star Wars; Reylo; 132k; This is the last place she ever thought she’d end up.When work dries up on Jakku, a desperate Rey enlists with Galactech-- a tech company who will hire anyone with the right skills, and work for anyone for the right price.

Tap That by @tierfal (FMA; Royed; 200k; This whole college gig would be hard even enough without Winry being the best wingwoman Ed never wanted… and without the blog. Definitely without the blog.)

WRITTEN FIC

how to be eaten by a woman (Star Wars; Reylo; 1,350 words; “So why don’t you do it?” he asks, breathless. His chest is heaving, his mouth open, gasping for breath.“Do what?” Rey asks, and thinks about biting his mouth.The corners of his lips tick upwards. Kylo squints at her, half-smiling. “That.”)

October

move the stars for no one (SGA/Labyrinth; Mcshep; 3,049 words; “You have no power over me,” Rodney whispers, just to see the way that the Goblin King’s eyes narrow - how he steps closer, until his narrow hips are pressed up against the footboard. He slouches in towards Rodney, sways toward him, his clever eyes hooded, and smiles like he’s won something. Asks, “You sure about that?”)

is this love? (SW; Reylo; 4,013 words; “It’s okay,” her brother tells her on their wedding night, lowering himself to sit on the floor beside her, until his nose is level with her shaking knees. When he smiles, he looks like a monster. “You don’t have to love me.”Then he goes to sleep on the couch, taking only a threadbare pillow from their marriage bed.)

rise again (SGA/SW/Dishonored, Rey, Emily, and John Sheppard, 952 words, “You’re Emily Kaldwin.” A pause. “You are, aren’t you?” Emily blows out a loud sigh, giving him an annoyed look, as if he’s to blame for the fact that she’s the most recognizable face in all the Isles. “Might be.” “Huh,” the girl says, and takes a seat right there on the floor. “I’m Rey.”)

i hope you’ll be happy, miss tara joan (SGA, Rodney/John, original child character, 360 words, They turn off John’s life support on a Thursday.)

blue lips, blue veins (Voltron, Keith & Allura, 655 words, “I am not,” he says stubbornly, “kissing you awake.”)

jewel of the south (Dishonored/Star Wars, Corvo & Rey, 686 words, The girl watches him warily, hunkered down in a nest of blankets in the corner. She’s a squatter, that much is obvious from her thin, patched clothing and the general disrepair of the apartment that Corvo’s found himself in. He blinks around, eyes lighting on a sofa, a desk, a couple rat-gnawed shoes.“You’re bleeding all over my floor,” she says flatly, her eyes heavy on him. “I’m bleeding all over your balcony,” he corrects, and wavers hard enough that his other leg gives out from under him. “And I’m mostly sure that it isn’t yours.”)

November

when the autumn moon is bright (SGA; Mcshep; 2,881 words; There weren’t, strictly speaking, supposed to be wolves in Atlantis.)

hard and heavy, dirty and mean (Stranger Things; Steve/Billy; 2,846 words; “Remember,” he whispers in Steve’s ear, his breath hot. “You wanted this.”)

December

I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus (SGA; Mcshep; 3,855 words; Rodney can’t see much about the man inside of the Santa costume from where he’s standing, the wig and beard hides what the suit doesn’t, but there’s something in his mannerisms that makes Rodney feel a spark of familiarity. He swallows and is still trying to puzzle it out when the Santa finishes with the little girl and turns their way.John Sheppard looks back out at Rodney from behind a fuzzy white Santa beard, his eyes widening almost imperceptibly as they shift from Rodney to Charlie and then back again.Jesus - fucking - Christ.)

The Yawning Grave (Star Wars; Gen; 2,489 words; WIP; does the skywalker choose the path, or the path the skywalker?)
