#Overambitious PMMM Fate Soulmate Crossover

How the Incubators fit into this mess

So the incubators are aliens that have long since figured out how to suppress their alien order.

One important thing to note is that they like to "Reward" species for finding a way to make active use of the negentropic nature of Puella Magi. I say reward but from the Incubator's perspective it's a perfectly fair trade.

Helping integrate the Doppel effect into the Human Order (in this case by signing up Homura and co. as the Masters of Purple) so that they can use old favors to get Alaya to hand over a copy for them to use in the future is a case of "Why WOULDN'T we do that?" And for undoing the degradation of mystery and making it so that the more people who know how to do magecraft the stronger it is, that is a case of "Here is everything your species needs to keep improving on the thing that will massively improve the effectiveness of future operations," and the doppel effect is is one of the very few examples that warranted that benefit.

Overambitious PMMM Fate Soulmate Crossover

Soulmate bonds can both be forged at birth or over time. Homura starts out with only two marks indicating her as the soul child of Tart and Riz/Liz Hawkwood.

All her other bonds don't persist between loops until some threshold is reached, the first being her bond with Madoka after finding the resolve to keep going after learning that Madoka's potential increases every loop.

Each bond that persists between the loops adds generally beneficial changes to the timeline, though not all can be concisely explained.

Homura's mother was from a magus family that her element and origin was actively detrimental to the practicing of the family magecraft. As a result Homura's crest is filled with a mess of knowledge from before Homura's mother found her speciality of creating animals with Magical Circuits similarly to how one would make a Homunculus.

For the Fate Characters it's a Shirou/Artoria/Illya/Rin/Sakura/Luvia from birth soulbond.

Another result of Soulbonds is that Artoria and Mordred have positive relations with each other with Artoria giving the crown to Mordred to look for her soulmates. Mordred would then kill Morgan le Fay with a cold iron lance modeled after Rhongomyniad.

The 5th Grail war is interesting in that someone made a second grail, hooked it up to the first and made it so that it was two simultaneous great grail wars.

This second grail has a few kinks in that all the servants tied to it (Purple and Blue) are dual classed, if one side summons a Ruler the grail won't summon an independent Ruler but does provide the required command seals to the First grail's ruler.

Order of summoning and circumstances of some summoners and servants(mostly just Artoria and Tart)

Illya was brought to Fuyuki during the fourth war and thus aged normally and also acquires the Emiya crest. She summons Archer at the cannon time then starts badgering Shirou to summon Saber.

Shirou, with help from Illya, Sakura, and Rin has a better time with his magecraft and picks up blacksmithing after learning his element and origin. He summons Saber a week after Illya.

Rin summons Caster who, after parsing the Great Grail war Rules, drags Rin to the Emiya household and tells Shirou that he will teach him everything he knows after barging in and explaining things, much to the concern and confusion of Illya, Shirou, and Sakura, who was staying over that night.

Sakura is rescued from her canon fate by the magus tradition for siblings that share a soulmate being having the sibling that doesn't get the crest find their own path. She summons Rider the next day

The other three masters of red are found and brought to the Emiya Household.

Artoria is much better mentally with Camelot lasting beyond her reign, the Lancelot-Guinevere affair being openly being between soulmates with one in a political marriage, teaching Mordred to be a good king, and her deal with Alaya being for the ability to reach her soulmates naturally(see Lion_of_Avalon's Pursuit of the dream on AO3https://archiveofourown.org/works/34621243/chapters/86187268)

The Magia Record plot happens and is resolved/averted a year after the end of Homura's timeloops, leading to there being a doppel field encompassing all of Japan by the time of the grail war. The Wings of Magius eventually figure out how to reverse the transformation into a Witch and soon Wraiths start to spawn within the Doppel field.

Kyoko Madoka and Oriko summon their servants while Homura is in Europe looking for Catalysts.

For Catalysts Homura finds Riz's Witch and Mordred's lance, and potentially a few minor catalysts for the others.

Sayaka summons Mordred expecting her to be Saber/Lancer, but gets Saber/Avenger because of Morgan le Fay having Been summoned as Caster of Black.

Homura is the last of the Purple team to summon as she needed to purify Riz's Greif seed into a soul gem, get a new body for her, and then finally enlist her help in summoning Tart.

The location of the hidden crypt containing Liz/Riz's witch was provided by a Mirror Witch clone early on in Homura's loops.

Mordred died of old age. She also took one look at Shirou's soulmarks and immediately calls him mom in front of Sakura and Taiga(who was read into the Moonlit world just an hour earlier after noticing the command seals.)

Soulmates who are extremely temporally separated tend to have the ones from earlier in the time stream encounter temporal anomalies in their teens so they live happy lives together. Alaya is the force behind the time travel and obviously extorts some Counter Guardian time from anyone usable as one, sometimes adding to their legend, most relevantly with Tart by having her disappear just moments before the flames of the Pyre touched her.

Order the soul marks start to persist between timelines, vaguely concurrent events, and why.

I intend for every mark to have either some sort of personal revelation involving the other girls or a new trick for Homura.

What I've got currently:

First is obviously the Madoka-Homura bond. This one is made to persist after Homura makes the choice to keep going after learning about Madoka's potential increasing with every loop.

Next is the Hitomi-Sayaka bond, I don't know the cause but Homura sees the beneficial knock-on effects of this one, takes a metaphorical look at Mami and Kyoko's situation, and asks "now where is Yuma Chitose's residence?"

Next is the Kyoko-Homura bond. Kyoko is now incredibly exasperated with how Homura readily admits to telling Kyoko about Yuma specifically because it causes Kyoko and Mami to reconcile.

Next is the Hitomi-Homura bond. Homura has figured out Romance, thus she can turn Kyoko and Hitomi into blushing messes. Homura and Madoka are now the most lovey-dovey couple in Mitakihara, news at 8.

Next is the Kyoko-Mami bond. Mami is now concerned with many of Homura's habits and why they started. (see Kyoko-Homura regarding Yuma) In other news Homura has found Nagisa.

Homura-Ui happens after reaching the point of being able to manifest a Doppel at will, even outside of Kamihama.

Next is the Homura-Mami bond, I know that Doppels will be vital here. Homura has figured out how to recruit Oriko and Kirika and is way too forthright with past timeline details involving them, to the consternation of all of Mitakihara's magical girls.

Next is the Kyoko-Sayaka bond. Homura's met mirror clones of her moms, Kyoko is having the obvious crisis.

Next is the Madoka-Sayaka bond.

Homura-Touka after figuring out the Doppel Dress

Next is the Madoka-Hitomi bond.

Next is the Homura-Sayaka bond.

Next is the Madoka-Mami bond.

And Homura-Nemu is last with Homura figuring out how to freely manifest her Labyrinth.
