Fanfic Recs

Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.

  • Synopsis: Most tales of Halkeginia start the same way, with Louise calling someone to her side from beyond the veil, and little outright changing beyond that. This time, it seems as though something's changed much further back than that event, causing staggering and unforeseen changes. Something made the trip from Earth to Halk under its own power, and it has its own ideas of what to do...

Drifter Series: Revolution and FreedomThe Familiar Of Zero - General Fics - TV Tropes (3) by General RTS

  • Synopsis: Japanese-American and US army ranger Alexander Tsougi always considered himself to be a normal military grunt. That is until he teleports through a magic portal into the world of Zero no tsukaima.
  • Comments: The story gets really epic by chapter 3.
    • TotalAbsolutism: This story has quite a few problems. The Nobles are constantly holding the idiot ball and seem totally unable to adapt to fairly basic military tactics. They also seem to constantly forget that they have a little thing called 'Magic' that could be used to render a fair number of those basic tactics totally obsolete. They will frequently underestimate the enemy even when doing so has proven disastrous in the past. Finally, the Author seems to go out of their way to make the Feudal system that exists in Halkegenia look a lot worse than it really would be when that's quite unnecessary; there's plenty of real issues with such a thing without having to invent extras. If you can enjoy it in spite of this then more power to you, but these problems really drew me out of it.

Dwarf of BronzeThe Familiar Of Zero - General Fics - TV Tropes (5) by Total Absolutism

  • Recommended by: MistahD
  • Status: Dead; last updated October 2018
  • Synopsis: Because of a change to the magic rules of the setting Familiar Summonings are performed in pairs to enhance the effect. Louise is paired up with Guiche de Gramont; and this causes both of them to summon unique familiars.
  • Notes: Links on SpaceBattlesThe Familiar Of Zero - General Fics - TV Tropes (6) and Sufficient VelocityThe Familiar Of Zero - General Fics - TV Tropes (7).
  • Comment: This one is a bit weird; it's a crossover with an original setting and mostly follows Guiche (as weird a choice as any there could be). But it's decently written, pretty unique, and isn't afraid to totally derail canon. Also commendable for one of the best uses of Mott that this troper has ever seen.

EnslavedThe Familiar Of Zero - General Fics - TV Tropes (11) by Shadenight123

  • Recommended by: Twinkieman92, The Giant Rock, NeonFraction
  • Status: Dead
  • Synopsis: Hiraga Saito is a fleshed out character. Louise Françoise isn't happily whipping people. The summoning ritual does Exactly What It Says on the Tin, summoning creature to be branded and then enslaved by the influence of the mark. There is nothing happy about it. Familiar of Zero, with 'For The Laughs' removed. How bleak are things, really?
  • Comments:
    • NeonFraction: While 'fleshed out' may be an exaggerated description of the changes to Saito's character, he does take a definite level in badass. For anyone who couldn't get over how horribly abusive Louise was or how unfair the series was to Saito, seeing him make his way independently is a fantastic change. While I wouldn't say it's incredibly well written, it's a story intended to satisfy more than entertain. And satisfy it does. For all its flaws, you'll be cheering for Saito every step of the way.

  • Status: Ongoing
  • Synopsis: Reconquista is defeated, but dark forces and darker ambitions threaten to plunge Halkeginia into war. Into this morass is plunged a wanderer from a distant land, summoned as a familiar by a certain young half-Elf.
  • Comments:
    • Overlord Zaru: Relatively young and new, but shows promise thus far. A new faction comes into play and will be interesting to follow through. And it seems that Tiffa will get some spotlight alongside our heroes Saito and Louise.

LoopholesThe Familiar Of Zero - General Fics - TV Tropes (15) by DschingisKhan

  • Recommended by: fruitstripegum, Unclouded TJ
  • Status: Dormant (last update Sept. 15 2021)
  • Synopsis: Louise didn't summon a dragon or a loser from another world. No, she summoned a girl from across the yard. How humiliating! But why is Tabitha agreeing to be her familiar? And how many teenage girls does it take to destabilise a geopolitical region anyway?

Noblesse Oblige by shadenight123

  • Recommended by: Vx 12
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: Henry is an SI who gets reborn as the older brother of Louise. He aims to bring hugs, coffee, and aphorisms to Halkeginia while using his knowledge of a possible future to save it along the way.
  • Comments:
    • Vx 12: If you like SI stories (or can at least tolerate them) then this is a good one. Like most of shadenight's fics, the focus is on humor and fluff foremost, but it also deals with Henry trying to prevent the destruction of Halkeginia. The humor and fluff are excellent, Henry is a likeable kind-hearted hero, and the story avoids many of the stations of canon as it starts earlier than canon and Henry's actions actually have realistic consequences in terms of changing other character's behavior and preventing certain events from happening, as well as just introducing many butterflies in general. The story also has the advantage of actually being complete. The ending is a bit rushed, but it does give closure to the story, which is more than you can say for 90% of fanfics. Overall I highly recommend it as one of the best Familiar of Zero stories I've read, and certainly the best I've been able to read to the end.

Operation: PhiladelphiaThe Familiar Of Zero - General Fics - TV Tropes (20) by milkduds100

  • Recommended by: eduardogranja, Ronnie R15
  • Status: Dead
  • Synopsis: The US Government sends a Navy SEAL into a newly discovered world to recover lost equipment and weapons, and to explore this new world. This is going to be one of the most interesting missions for Commander Riptide, Sniper for SEAL Team 10.
  • Comments:
    • eduardogranja: Must say it feels good to see the reaction of Halkegenians to a true military force from Earth, and that was enough to get me hooked in the story. As of now, the story is on the higher end of the epic scale.

Soldier of ZeroThe Familiar Of Zero - General Fics - TV Tropes (22) by Ashen Author

  • Recommended by: AshDevil, Ack Sed, Unclouded TJ
  • Status: Dead
  • Synopsis: Louise still summons Saito, but the world he comes from is different. He can't cast magic, but he knows enough about it to give Louise a little help, and he has some other skills too. Most importantly, it's primarily Saito as a Guile Hero instead of relying on brute force. Mind games are to be expected.
