Do warn when a fanfic may head into [[Better Than Canon|non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, [[Shipping]] is [[Serious Business]].

Line 20:

* ''Status'': Ongoing

* Pairing: None overall though Tsukune/[[Spider People|Keito]] at the moment (to his dismay)!

* Synopsis: A what if taken to its logical extreme. What if Tsukune had not been crashed into by Moka on his first day but still decided to stay. What would he do in such a situation. Mostly a thought piece asking, what would you do to survive in that setting?

* Comments: Very good characterization of Tsukune, the reasoning it puts forth for Tsukune to stay at Youkai academy makes this Tsukune more realistic then the one in the manga and anime funnily enough.

** [[User:Tikigod 784]]: Seconded. The author takes the idea of being in a "school of monsters" to it's more [[Nightmare Fuel|horrific]] extreme. This isn't just due to the existence of said monsters in the school, but due to the fact that {{spoiler|Tsukune is becoming more and more desensitized to violence and murder in order to survive in the environment, hence the title of the fic.}}

** [[Lustheron]]: Thirded. This story is basically [[For Want of a Nail]] but that minor difference has made the story almost unrecognizable from the original series. It's only<ref> At the time this review was made</ref> three chapters long so far but Tsukune is vastly different than canon, including stealing items to use as makeshift weapons or learn about various monsters, joining the cross-country club to get in better shape, and {{spoiler|killing four students to stay alive.}}

** [[Lazarus Drake]] While I usually like Hawker's fics, he has moments when he exaggerates characters' behavior, for the sake of drama. Also, I can't say that Tsukune's reactions are unrealistic; however they generally manifest so fast only in correlation with other, deeper traumas. To summarize, I think this nail is far too small for the changes it supposedly provoked.

* ''Fandoms:'' ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]'', ''[[Fate/stay night]]'', ''[[Tsukihime]]''

* ''Synopsis:'' Author's Summary: As a punishment for running away from home, Akiha enrolls her elder brother in the Youkai Academy. Thus the kind hearted monster is admitted into the academy of monsters. More of a Nasu X Rosario than Tsukihime X Rosario.

* ''Comments:'' Not what it sounds like. Rather than being your stereotypical "[[X Meets Y|X replaces Tsukune]]" where the original Rosario+Vampire story is [[Recycled in Space|rehashed with a new leading character]], this is more of a proper [[Crossover]] of [[Nasuverse]] and [[Rosario to Vampire]] with a completely new plot. It has been confirmed that Tsukune, Shiki, and Shirou will all be main characters in the story. The author is new, but seems to have a good grasp of writing already, and has good spelling and grammar (even though he doesn't seem to be from a native English speaking country). Haven spoken to the author extensively, I can safely say that the future for this story is looking very... [[Nasuverse]]. It's worth a read.

Line 77:

* ''Comments'': I am not one who is partial to sit and read twelve chapters of fanfiction in one sitting, but I did so here. I found the story gripping and the (so far) subtle, growing relationship between Mizore and Dan very believable and interesting. The rest of the story is also believable, with frequent references to choric characters and the struggles of Dan as he tries to fit in into a high school in which everyone wants to eat him. The writing style is effective, and the author has an effortless way with the description of characters, places and dialogue which is not only believable but relatable. On first reading I expected the protagonist, being an OC, to be rather annoying, but he is easy-going, humorous and I am glad that I am currently following him in his struggle through his joining Yokai Academy. So far there have been plot twists, cliffhangers, hidden details which I am dying to know, and I am sure that this story will still have my rapt attention for chapters to come.

** It should be noted that this is actually a re-write of the original version that was written by [[Wandering Wordsmith]] back when he was known on fanfic as Chaosbahamut123. This is much of the reason why it's such an amazing story: The author has already been here and is ready to fix his previous mistakes. The best part about it is the fact that the romance, while still the central part of the plot, does not drown out the rest of the story. Dan's friends are critical components of his everyday life at Yokai, and the trouble he gets into is a very real part of his world and not just a device to provoke more angsty romance. All who love Mizore should read this fiction!

** Having read the original Thawing Permafrost, I need to emphasise how this new version is more mature, more sensitive and more subtle than the previous version. There is imagery (such as the red flags) that runs through this new story, creating consistency and flow. The relationship is developing more slowly, but it feels more genuine and less cliché. The themes so far have been based on very human concepts - loneliness and acceptance. I look forward to more sensitive issues being explored and eventually overcome by the loveable characters!

** [[Thawing Permafrost|Now has its own tropes page]], and it needs ''a lot'' of help with the tropes list.

Line 141:

* Recommended by: sweece, lowsoman

* ''Status'': ongoing

* ''Pairing'': Tsukune/Moka

* ''Synopsis'': Tsukune Aono, a 'regular' human enters a Youkai School where he discovers Monsters. Before he can choose to stay or leave, a dangerous vampire takes him as a familiar for his blood. Yet he only has 681 days or less before his end...

* ''Comments'': This is an interesting and original AU take on the R+V story. It incorporates several of the major events & characters from the manga while still remaining appreciably different and unique. The one major problem I had with this work is that grammatically it's rather sloppy. Still, this alone should not be reason to avoid reading it.
