I have been greatly enjoying Grinding of the Sword Hero, in which Yumiella Dolknesss (protagonist of I'm the Lv99 Hidden Boss, Not the Demon Lord!) is summoned as the eponymous Sword Hero in the world of Rising of the Shield Hero. She proceeds to do Yumiella things in her typical spcially awkward/tactically terrifying/occasionally tooth-achingly cute kuudere way, inadvertently derailing a few bits of early awfulness, then intentionally interferes in some more as she becomes aware of it, and most recently got her berserk button pressed resulting in a truly Hidden Boss Fight manner. My mo3 jukebox started playing For Whom the Bell Tolls almost exactly on cue to have the opening bells as BGM for the line repeated from the previous cliffhanger and everything.
Written by Obloquy, whose spiky crescent avartar image I recognise as having been attatched to some good stuff previously too.

This fic really makes me want to see Maple from I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Put All My Points in Defense! as the Shield Hero, actually. It would be nothing like this, but she'f be so different from Naofumi (the OTL protagonist) while also javing the gimmick of relying on equipment special abilities in odd combinations that it's a natural match.
