Started in the wake of ''Fanfic/TheHillOfSwords'' on the [=SpaceBattles=] Fanfiction Forum, ''[[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=197517 Unfamiliar]]'', by Cpl_Facehugger, is a crossover between ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'' and ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'', where Louise summons Alex. It's actually less unfair than the premise sounds (no [[RocksFallEveryoneDies Mercer Attacks Everyone Dies]], for example).

Sadly, it's a DeadFic.

Sadly, it's a DeadFic.DeadFic, deceased since 2012.



* {{Deadfic}}: While there have been hints to the contrary, the last story update was August 2011.
** Apparently, the next update is/was supposed to contain a cluster of three chapters, 13-15, which would take a considerable time to write. But a year-plus-long wait is rather discouraging...
*** Author refuses to answer whether or not the fic is going to be continued, going as far as deleting questions and speculations posted on his profile, and locking threads. It's dead fic all right.

There are many ''LightNovel/ZeroNoTsukaima'' fics where Louise summons a different person at the beginning of the story, providing dynamics parallel to or wildly disparate from those in canon. In very few of those stories, though, is the summoned being an unstoppable, betentacled monstrosity fresh from (literally) chewing his way through most of the U.S. Marine Corps.

Started in the wake of ''Fanfic/TheHillOfSwords'' on the [=SpaceBattles=] Fanfiction Forum, ''[[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=197517 Unfamiliar]]'', by Cpl_Facehugger, is a crossover between ''LightNovel/ZeroNoTsukaima'' and ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'', where Louise summons Alex.
