New Fic Recommendations vs. MechaGodzilla II

[classicdrogn]

It's pretty much impossible to do a Sekirei/Nasu crossover without being compared to In Flight, and to a lesser extent with any shonen material, but despite an almost identical start (granted it's a post-FSN Shiro rather than post-UBW, and his backstory and situation as explained later are also somewhat different) DrakeValkyr has taken Shattered Blade in a significantly different direction so far. It does seem to have hit a stall at 8 chapters back in January, but that's no so long in fanfic time, and it's a reasonably complete arc with a satisfyingly intense climax and falling action even if it is really only setting up the board. Technical quality is also generally high, though there are a few examples of places where the spellchecker changed something that was vaguely close to how an uncommonly used word sounds into a different word altogether. Also, while the Sekirei Plan in general is pretty much a plot on rails, it does at least not focus on the car with the Izumo House residents like most Sekirei fics do.

I've just started in on my collection of open tabs with Sekirei fics that didn't sound like they'd be Suckirei fic, so hopefully there be a few more in this vein I can recommend as I work through it.
