Stars Above

"Homura: "Now, one last time before we begin... give me your word that you won't offer to make contracts with them."

Kyubey: "Absolutely not. It's out of the question. If either of them became Puellae Magi... it would mean the end of everything.""

- From the prologue

Stars Above is an ongoing fanfic written by Tropers BHS and User:Forzare. Based loosely on the events of the KHSWO RP on the TV Tropes Forum, the story is a Puella Magi Madoka Magica/Lucky Star Intercontinuity Crossover.

A typical day at Ryouou High takes a turn for the strange when a mysterious transfer student enters Kagami's class: Homura Akemi. The new girl doesn't show emotions and doesn't speak a spare word to anyone, but whenever Kagami looks her in the eyes she feels something she can't explain. On the train ride home from school, Kagami, Konata, and Tsukasa are attacked by a terrifying creature. Homura appears and kills the monster, then apologizes to Kagami, saying that the attack "wasn't supposed to happen" before wiping her memories of the incident.

The problem is, the memory wipe doesn't take. The next day at school, Kagami demands answers... and the truth is stranger and more terrible than she could imagine.

In the midst of the growing chaos, an impossible friendship starts to bloom into something more...

A Yuri Genre Crossover Ship fic that aims to be "as awesome as possible", according to the authors.

 * Conflicting Loyalty / It's Not You, It's My Enemies: The reason why Homura decides to take some distance from Kagami. She thinks that she's betraying Madoka, but she also doesn't want Kagami to get hurt in the crossfire that keeps getting violent. The later situation is ironically not unlike the events of Madoka Magica.

 * Feel No Pain: The mechanism of this one nature of magical girls is explained as the 'pain switch', where in an extreme case, a magical girl sacrifices her movement and speed for numbness of their body. An example of the technique is when Homura takes a spear that almost severs her torso without dying, and lets Kagami hit her with her bokken to destroy Demon Spawn that latch on all over her body.
 * Genre Savvy: Konata, of course. She recognizes what kind of fic this is before anyone else does.
