One of the hardest things to wrap my head around in the Nasuverse has been
what events belong to what timeline, this is just one example of that.

It seems like F/SF isn't contradicted by anything that happened in the F/SN
timeline (that is if you consider the unusual 'rules' of the Fake Grail War to
be permissible in the same universe as the normal Fuyuki GW).

So, is it more or less the same timeline? If not, does it belong to any other
timelines(like the KnK one for example)?

Does Fate/Strange Fake take place in the same timeline as any of the Fate/Stay Night routes?


From the afterword of the first volume:

FSF is set in a parallel world, some years* after the Fifth Holy Grail War, as
constant references are made to it: Shirou is obliquely mentionned as a
creator of relics, Francesca Prelati took the mud of the corrupted Grail for
her own purposes, etc.

*By my own estimation, maybe **2008**. It was the year the April Fool's one-shot version of FSF came out in, but Flat Escardos's age is also an hint: in FSF and in El-Melloi Case Files, he is respectively 19 and 15, and El-Melloi Case Files take place during the year of the Fifth Holy Grail War, meaning 2004.
