The Pumpkin Menace-Fate X Reader

A little something I made to celebrate the season. I'm thinking of making one for Tsukihime.

Medusa (Rider) Tries to carve her sisters, fails spectacularly, proceeds to turn the Pumpkin into puree after bemoaning her lack of skill and how it would be much easier if she had small, dainty hands and apologizes for the waste with a bit of pumpkin guts still on her face.

Medusa (Gorgon) Tries extremely hard to carve a design onto the largest one you could find but still comparatively small pumpkin, almost succeeds but applies slightly too much pressure and splatters the pumpkin all over the place, she proceeds to glare at the remains of the pumpkin as if that would force it back together.

Artoria Saber Has no idea what she is doing, tries to make a simple lion design, it ends up as some sort of lopsided monstrosity. Saber is mortified and wants to hurl the entire thing into the garbage, but is unable to because you gave her the pumpkin and because you like her mess of a pumpkin, saying that it was “Derpy in a cute way”.

Artoria Saber Alter Takes extreme joy in the gutting process. She also has no idea what she is doing, and still tries to make the complicated design to impress you. She fails in a manner befitting an episode of Looney Toons or the Three Stooges.

Ishtar She puts one finger into the guts and proceeds to vaporize the pumpkin with a scream and tears in her eyes. She forces you to give her a bubble bath as she complains about all things slimy.

Ereshkigal Has a lot of fun during the gutting process but then her knife got stuck during the carving process, this led to her accidentally smashing the pumpkin to pieces followed by her curling into a ball and sobbing.

Rin Tohsaka She is in immense mental pain during the gutting process but pushes through it to garner praise from you for her jaw dropping design. Halfway through the process she obliterates the poor Pumpkin with a Gandr.

Sakura Matou She claims she knows little about the process of carving the pumpkin, but gets a very pretty if somewhat concerning smile on her face during the gutting process. All in all, it turns out pretty okay, even if the anguished face on the pumpkin is a strange choice.

FanFic Recommendations for Feedback Fest 2024

Since the 15th of Feb is apparently fanworks day I’m doing an early list of Fic recs to celebrate in no particular order from various fandoms that’ve taken root in my mind at some point or another.

Fatumonagatari By ScyllaAlter

Trains That Lead Me Back To You By Skylin3

Crossroads of Fate By PumpkinTeacup

Fandom: Bleach & Doctor Who | Rating: T+ | Ship: IchiRuki

It was Ichigo’s birthday, and Rukia was not going to visit.

But fate was a funny thing. While some events were fixed into the flow of reality as if carved into stone, others only needed a slight nudge into place for destiny to unfold as it should. Even in the form of a simple meal with her time-traveling friend.

Flash Fire Photography By AriadneKurosaki

Fandom: Bleach | Rating: T+ | Ship IchiRuki

The annual Eighth District Firefighter Calendar is always a big hit, raising millions of yen for charity and causing more than a few fires of the metaphorical kind. When her boss gets sick at the last minute, photographer Kuchiki Rukia steps in to make sure the project stays on schedule. It's just a photo shoot, and she's a professional. It can't be that hard to take pictures of a bunch of firefighters for a good cause, even if they're posing shirtless.

She didn't really count on one particular firefighter being hotter than the fires he's supposed to put out...

[ominouslywritinginmyhead]

@anonimusunnoaniswriting this one’s for you 😘

TW: implied gore (?)

Thinking about Mafia boss Rin Matsuoka today.

Succeeding his father at a young age, he immediately establishes himself as a ruthless leader who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. His men are loyal to him and him alone, and anyone who betrays him won’t live long enough to regret it.

They call him the Shark, and God help you if you’re his prey. They say he once tore open a man’s chest with nothing but his teeth. Is that rumour true? Nobody knows, and nobody’s prepared to take that chance.

Charismatic, confident, and careful, Rin knows what he wants and knows how to get it. He knows how to watch his prey from a distance, and when to close in for the kill. He can leave a mess or leave no sign that he was ever there.

So what happens when he’s at a gala hosted by a civilian business partner and sees you, all pretty and happy in your own world? Are you his prey? Or are you a shark yourself, ready to bite?

[kumeko]

A/N: For the @amorfatizine! I screamed in Unlimited Bladeworks when Rin got Saber for a while, I was just, yes, in an AU world that could have been amazing teamwork.

…

…

…

…

Rin jolted awake. Half-remembered dreams flashed across her memory, hazy images she couldn’t quite grasp. A sword, a blood-stained field, a red sky—it was a memory. Somehow, she knew it was a memory. The night sky outside her window wasn’t the same as the one from her dream and it took her a few minutes to realize that she was in her bedroom right now.

Her sheets rustled as she groggily turned over, her hand groping for her alarm clock. Cool glass met her probing fingers instead—her water, she realized belatedly—before Rin accidentally knocked it off the bedside table. The sharp crash as it shattered woke her up entirely. 

“Shit,” Rin swore, leaning over her bed to look at the damage. There was a dark stain next to her bed, her plush carpet absorbing the water. The base of the glass was still intact but the top was jagged from where it broke. It’d be a pain to pick out all the shards later. Reaching down, she plucked the biggest piece.

The door banged open, barely keeping on its hinges as Saber forced her way in. Her armour made a soft clank as she searched the room. “Did something happen?”

Startled, Rin flinched and the sharp glass edge sliced her palm. “Ouch.” She winced as she raised her hand, watching a thin line of ruby droplets form. “Well, now it did.”

“Let me see that,” Saber ordered.

Before Rin could stop her, her servant marched toward the bed. The glass cracked as Saber stepped on it, shattering it entirely. Rin clicked her tongue. Now it was next to impossible to remove the shards. “Look what you did.”

“That can be easily solved.” Nonplussed, Saber lifted her palm, examining the small cut. After a few seconds, she sighed, relieved. “It’s not that serious. No shard’s caught in it.”

“No kidding, I could have told you that before you crossed the room.” Rin rolled her eyes as she snatched her hand away. “Since you’re here anyways, get a bandage from the drawer. I’m not wasting magic on this.”

Obediently, Saber turned to Rin’s bedside table, turning on the side lamp before rifling the drawer until she found a small first aid kit. The room brightened enough for Rin to see that her Servant had released her armour.

When Rin had first summoned Saber, she couldn’t believe her luck. First try out of the box, she’d done it. She’d gotten the strongest servant in the war. With a Saber by her side and her own magic, wits, and strength, they had the Holy Grail in the bag.

Yet, the moment Rin had asked Saber for her name, she had clammed up. No matter what question Rin asked, Saber had remained stubbornly mute, insisting that there was nothing worth telling. It was an obvious lie—what sort of servant could become a Saber and not have a life worth talking about?

And why keep it from her partner? This vital piece of information that could literally mean life or death?

Rin glanced over her shoulder. Through her large bedroom windows, she could see the moon wasn’t out tonight. Pollution made it hard for her to see the stars, unlike the nightscape in her dream.

A spike of pain hit her, like a pickaxe to her brain, and Rin winced. As though shaken by the headache, pieces of her dream returned to her: a lone king, a blood-stained sword, an empty field. On top of it all was a pervading sense of regret and anguish.

Rin wasn’t an idiot. She’d done her research before summoning, read every text her father left her and then some. With the pact, a connection had been forged between her and her servant and sometimes memories transferred that way. Unfortunately, the memories she’d received were all fragments and she didn’t have enough information to piece it all together.

Saber was a king with a tragic past. European, based on her accent and appearance. She probably had hid her gender or Rin would have recognized her by now. There were so few women warriors in the past great enough to reach the Throne. Unfortunately, a tragic European king was vague enough to fit any old ruler. Rin frowned. An image of a golden dragon stayed with her, a crest so familiar it was on the tip of her tongue. She knew that symbol. She knew this person. If she could just pry It out of her memories—

If Saber would just say it instead of keeping it a secret. Rin scowled as her Servant sat on her bed, setting the first aid kit next to her. Saber’s touch was oddly tender as she took Rin’s hand, cleaning the cut carefully with a wet cloth. For a king, she was surprisingly used to taking care of injuries.

“You should be more careful,” Saber reprimanded, pouring rubbing alcohol on the cloth. “This could have been more serious.”

Rin’s temper flared. “It’s broken glass and a small cut. You know what could put me in more danger? Not telling me your identity.”

Saber jerked her head up. Her lips were a thin line, her jaw set. “That has nothing to do with this.”

“You can’t tell me to be more careful and then not give me the tools to do it.” Rin winced as the alcohol burned her cut. It wasn’t something new; Rin had taken care of her own wounds many times before.

Somehow, it felt different having someone else take care of it.

“You have other tools.” Saber bent her head, focusing on the cut. Clearly, she was done with the discussion.

Clearly, she had no idea how stubborn her master was. Rin glared at the back of her head. If only her eyes were powerful enough to bore a hole through Saber’s thick skull. “Who other than you can take on a Servant’s attack? Or help me win the battle? This is useful information! I can only go so far in my plans without it.”

“There’s no need to know,” Saber replied, her tone clipped. “It’s not useful. You’ve already seen what I can do.”

Rin hit her other hand against the bed, frustrated. “I’ll decide if something is useful or not. Look, I’m smart and talented enough to work around you so far, but I’m not the only competent mage in this fight.”

“You know I have an invisible sword. You know its length and skill.” Saber pulled out a cloth bandage and wound it around Rin’s palm. “What more is there to know?”

Her lips curled in annoyance as she thought of Shinji and the Einzbern heiress. “What if the others figure out who you are? Your weaknesses? How can I plan around that without knowing them myself? What if you have other skills?”

“There’s no—”

“There’s always one!” Rin threw her head back and groaned. For heaven’s sake, Saber was as stubborn as a mule. It was like talking to a brick wall. She’d thought having a Saber would make the fight easier, but all this had done was give her a headache.

For a fleeting moment, she wondered if it would have been easier if she’d gotten Archer or Lancer. Then she shook that useless thought. Rin was many things, but she refused to look back or regret any of choices. The only direction she moved was forward.

“You might even have special skills that can be helpful. Why. Won’t. You. Tell. Me?” she ground out, glaring at Saber.

Infuriatingly, Saber didn’t react. Her focus remained squarely on Rin’s hand, on the bandage as she wrapped her palm. Round and round the cloth went, no different to how this argument had gone in circles since the day they’d met.

Rin had had enough. “Saber. Answer me.”

Saber clipped the end of the bandage in place. She returned the tools into the kit. Rin opened her mouth to say something but something about her actions warned her to keep quiet. It was only when the silence grew oppressive did Saber look up, her fathomless blue eyes meeting Rin’s. “If you find out who I am, you will only be disappointed.”

That wasn’t the response she expected. Rin blinked. “How?”

Saber looked away, staring outside the window now. Was she thinking of that hill, that red sky? An ache spread through Rin’s chest.

“Because that’s what I do.” Saber’s voice was brittle, like the jagged glass on the carpet. Like if Rin pushed too far, the person in front of her would shatter into just as many pieces. “My people went to war because I was a bad king.”

Impossible, Rin almost said. The Grail picked heroes.

“Those closest to me betrayed me because I was a bad friend.” Saber’s eyes darkened, a roiling sea. “I was a bad husband. I was a bad father. There is nothing of my legacy that is worth protecting or knowing. The only thing I have left is my word.” She turned to Rin. “And I have already given it to you: I will see you win the Grail.”

Rin remembered to breathe, slowly, softly, shallowly. Quietly, she murmured, “I believe you.”

“Then there is nothing else you need to know. Because there is nothing else worth knowing.” She lowered her eyes, her hand clenching the bed sheet tight. Quietly, so quietly that Rin wasn’t sure she was supposed to hear, Saber added, “And when we win, there will be nothing to remember.”

Rin didn’t know what to make of that. No, that was wrong—she knew exactly what to make of that. The Grail gave a wish and she knew what Saber’s was: to erase herself.

The ache deepened.

Saber slipped off the bed. “I’ll go get a broom.”

Rin watched her back, her words caught in her throat, a feeling that wasn’t entirely hers flooding her senses. She didn’t know how much of that was true. The Grail picked heroes. No one who was truly that bad was filled with this much regret.

There had to be something that Saber wasn’t seeing, but without more knowledge, Rin couldn’t refute a single word.

The only thing she had was their past few days together.

“Saber,” Rin called out softly, stopping the woman before she passed through the door. “You might be right. You might be all of those things. But you’re something else too.”

Saber didn’t turn around, her hands curling into her skirt. “What?”

“You’re my Servant. I summoned you. And I never go wrong.” Rin squared her shoulders.

“This time—”

“I’m still not wrong.” Rin smirked, speaking with a confidence she didn’t entirely feel. “You’re a Saber. You saved me from Heracles. Without you, I wouldn’t be here.” Her voice softened. “Saber, whatever else you are, you are a good knight.”

Saber glanced over her shoulder, surprised.

“I still want to know who you are.” Rin kept her gaze steady. “But just for tonight, I won’t ask anything else.”

Saber didn’t quite laugh, but her lips quirked and that was close enough. With a nod, her Servant disappeared back into the gloom.

Rin reached over into her drawer and pulled out a pad of paper she kept there. Before she could forget what it looked like, she sketched the dragon and the crest. If Saber wouldn’t tell her, then she’d just have to find out herself. Her house was full of old books, full of the materials her father had prepared.

Somewhere in here were the answers she sought.

And perhaps then, she’d finally show Saber just how wrong she was about herself.

Harem Poll 2/3 (do-over)

Since I've been doing content for Natsu's harem... I feel I should be equal opportunity here. (人◕ω◕) I'll pick... 3 smaller harems to do a similar infodump kind of thing. A way to get to know the characters better, and how the harems tick. And even better, for the time being I'll focus on harems I haven't brought up too much. ... So no Makoto or Hajime yet... But they get their day in the sun a lot. At least on my blog. XD

I'm gonna run some polls here. We will get to hear about all these lovely girls and how they get along with their man. (人◕ω◕) However, as I am in a generous mood, I will let fans elect who I focus on first. ... This may backfire, but I will attempt a democracy. The gist is, the winner will get a post where I elaborate on the ship, throw in some headcanons, and how they get along with the other members of the harem. All I'm doing is showing love for harems here; if you're a fan and want to support your fav characters, go on and vote. I'll keep polls open... for a week, cuz there's only the two options. If I only did a day, I'd imagine there wouldn't be many participating... So I'll leave the window open for a week. See who bites. (人◕ω◕)

Just speak up if you love a character and want to see them first. (人◕ω◕) I'll be getting to all of them regardless, there are no losers here~...

Author's Note: I messed up in the initial posting, didn't make it go for a week. :P I'm fixing it now. So, if you guys want to take another crack at this, go ahead. Apologies for the screw up. ... And ignore that first choice of a Lenny face. I don't know how that got there. Tumblr glitched up. @___@

[dopplerdora]

An idea for a post Bladeworks time travel fic.

Tenish years post war Rin, Saber, and Shirou end up in Britain at the height of the round table.

Saber is afraid of being recognized but she's so so much different after 10 years of wedded bliss(also of not having to lead Jack or shit because Rin took charge because Saber and Shirou obviously can't lead shit just look at them) that the only people with a chance in hell of recognizing them are Kay and Merlin. Saber not knowing this leans into playing the part of a young maiden(because she also kind wants to wear the dresses from this time she never got too before) but because of the growth(well non physical growth) she's had over the past 10 years she goes way overboard due to her normal personality having changed and everybody in Camelot goes crazy over this amazing young maiden, the older generation thinking of how much she's like Igraine. People keeps saying it and Morgan gets passed and shows up to prove how she's nothing like her beloved mother and accidentally magically proves Saber is a CHILD OF IGRAINE. Everybody freaks out because this child is way too young to be Igrains child so how the hell...

Meanwhile while Saber is being a reality TV character and loving showing her love for her people without restrictions or responsibility. Shirou and Rin are busy saving Camelot and changing history no matter what bullshit the world throws at them because their giving Saber a happy ending this time damn it! (And if rin can make herself the middle of a Saver sandwich for saving the kingdom that fine too)

A new plot bunny enters the fray

MHA/Fate plot bunny

Mineta is replaced by Shirou (already, an improvement).

Shirou's quirk, Round Table, at first appears to be summoning knights of the Fate round table, with Artoria being his first summon. Cue her introducing herself as "ARTHUR, KING OF THE BRITONS". She doesn't know the reference.

Izuku is still very much like canon at the start of the series, and Shirou does not come in at Aldera. Things really start to change at the entrance exam.

Due to a misunderstanding (and maybe a bit of Nezu sadism?) Artoria isn't allowed to join the exam and has to sit this one out. Of course, she expresses her displeasure in a manner befitting her royal standing (she is NOT pouting).

Shirou summons Gawain and Lancelot for the exam, and they promptly start stomping all the robots into the ground. Of course, there is tension between them, but they manage to keep it to jeering and snarking.

Because he needs to be taken down a peg, Bakugo is in the same arena as Shirou. So he has to share his pool of robotic victims with two knights in shining armor (very litterally in Gawain's case), all while Shirou (being much more well adjusted than in the VN/anime) helps people around.

so, the result is Bakugo landing, like, 3rd in the exam, with Shirou somewhere around 8th. He's good, but he's not OP (that's the knights' job).

Due to the increase in costs associated with the Knights being there, the Emiya household needs more funds. Retired underground hero Kiritsugu doesn't have enormous savings, and Irisviel's car racing is not a very regular source of income. It is, however, a regular source of costs. Between her tunning habits and her wreacking cars ... The only one to really bring regular income is ... their third(?) Maiya with her job in private security.

So, Artoria saves the day by ... writing books. On how life was in 5th Century Britain, on the religious and cultural context of the time, and of course transcriptions of plays and treaties lost to time. She makes a pretty penny off of that, and of course gets tear stained letters of gratitude from historians every week.

Her existence does cause a fair bit of a stir in Europe mind you ...

Tag drop. If you want your own relationship tag, like this. I'll add more/make more posts as I think of them.

Lunaetis already had her tags, I just tweaked Archer and Rin's .

[borntobekings]

may I ask how they did this quote "Even though I'm going to be killed in an instant, I adore her again" in the actual official translation?

"Something's seriously wrong with me.

"I'm one moment away from certain death, and here I am, entranced by my killer.

"...Yeah.

"It's frustrating, to be sure."

How about Love prompt 47 with Rin tohsaka and Mordred. I'm really loving your writing

I thank you for the compliment my friend, but there are a great many far better at this than I and my scribbles of broad ideas.

NOW YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND!

Love Prompt #47- You're Cute When Your Angry

Rin Tohsaka

Rin Tohsaka was infamous as the Red Devil for a great many reasons, the least of these being her quick temper.

Especially when a certain blonde woman who for protective purposes will not be named was involved.

Case in point, the current situation you were in at the moment.

“ARGH! THAT BLONDE BIMBO BITCH!” the voice of a certain dark haired woman shouted to the heavens in a rage, her face a mix between a snarl and a mouth barred closed in a rage with an all consuming angry fire burning in them.

“Oh don’t let her get to you Rin.” you told the woman next to you in a weak attempt to get her to calm down.

After all, seeing her like this? It was a treat that only you could enjoy completely.

“Do you think if I blew a few extra holes into her anyone would notice!?” Rin hissed out the mean idea.

“Hmm… maybe a few people.” you responded with a smile. You might like to see Rin angry, but knowing how she can get it may be time to actually get her to calm down before she actually decides to commit premeditated murder.

Rin let out a growl, akin to that of a feral cat.

Then again, you could wait just a little while more, right? It wasn’t like she would actually try and murder she who will not be named.

Rin was naturally cute, but when she was angry? That was a whole other level of Adorable.

Rin went ramrod straight before whipping her entire body around to look you in the eye, a blush on her face.

Oh, you said that aloud didn’t you?

Mordred Pendragon

Mordred was furious.

This was her week off, but of course someone needed her to come in at the last fucking moment!

Hell the only reason Mordred hadn't gotten the wild hair to go out on a “Enthusiastic Walk” was because of what you said when you saw her face when she got the call.

“Oh you are downright adorable when you're angry~!” your voice cooed in her head for the thirtieth time today.

“Hey! Mordred! Sor- EEP!” Gareth began to call out before being silenced by Mordred who turned on her foot with an expression on her face that screamed “If you try to talk with me you are dead.” 

This was also known as her angry face.

A face that only you weren’t put off by.

You really were insufferable, but Mordred wouldn’t dare have you any other way.

After all, the love you gave her, it was something that had been foreign for her entire life up until she met you.

She felt like she was in one of those horrendous books Tristan would force her to read at arrow point.

Whenever she was with you she was always nervous like someone was going to jump out from behind something, except instead of watching her surroundings she obsessed over every detail she could see about you while her stomach did a full aerial acrobatics routine.

And don’t get her started when you say something like you did this morning, she was out the door as fast as a bolt of lightning, her face aflame with embarrassment and your wonderful laugh following her like a ghost on the wind.

God… she really was hopelessly in love with you wasn’t she?

The most wonderful curse had been inflicted upon the both of you by each other, and Mordred wouldn’t have it any other way.

HSR x Fate UBW coming in Q3 2025 !

(I write these in mind for anyone doesn't know Fate series at all)

For now it's unknown will it come with stories or just skin or full pack with playable UBW character

Not long ago HSR had interview with FGO team, the magazine only release their Q&A but considering both side love each other project, these collab shouldn't really suprising. If there's suprising fact is why only UBW not FGO directly ? Since there is no info about collab details, let's make some analysis for now :

FGO especially Fate series is really big world ! If you need comparasion, it's not only Honkai Impact world but all Hoyoverse become one and you need to know at least a bit of each title to make sense about Fate series !

Continuing point above, which is the reason they gave us years for this collab ! Their developer consider years should be enough for player to quick read most Fate series franchise (lol)

Fate as whole already into their 20 years old now so it's kinda impossible for anyone to learn that series from start (even I only know fifty percent of it). So to make it simple, they just pick their well known franchise but not making players too confused about their world building which is Fate Stay Night. UBW is decent choice considering what's happened with other two.

If anyone need comparasion, UBW kinda like GGZ in term of popularity and reminiscing (lol) while FGO kinda like former Genshin in term of popularity.

I kinda saw FGO pretty desperate nowdays or maybe they're already out of idea to promote Fate series onward. For anyone doesn't know, FGO was the king of mobile gacha games but after Genshin release their revenue drop sharply and with more Chinese gacha games out lately, you can say now it's their lowest situations so to be honest Fate series feels like gonna dying sooner or later which is this collab came.

I can say for sure that this collab came from HSR side since those otaku ops growth like now while watching/reading Fate series (lol) so I think there's no way HSR or even Fate team will slack off especially for storytelling since it's Fate main selling (if there's one for collab later lol)

Onto collab prediction since it's specifically UBW, means the main character is either Rin or/and Emiya. Maybe anyone still not read questionable leaks but there's info this collab need two version to finish means there's at least four and max six new character avaliable later. Considering UBW stories, I can think of Saber and Gilgamesh or maybe Kirei can join the roaster too.

Now for everyone who doesn't know Fate series and need pointer for later collab, first please watch Fate Stay Night, it have three titles with same story premise but different PoV with different ending (Fate Stay Night 24 episode -> Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works 1 movie -> Fate Stay Night Heaven's Feel 3 parts movie). Next it's Fate Stay Night prologue, Fate Zero 24 episode and you're good to breakthrough the collab only.

Sounds simple right, which is the reason they choose Unlimited Blade Works for collab. If FGO, you could swarm yourself with 9 years FGO lore materials + other works with and without "Fate" titles on it (lol)
