(The events of this special occur after Fate/Zero (4th Holy Grail War) and before Fate/Stay Night (5th Holy Grail War).)
- Today’s Menu for Emiya Family
(This is an alternate happy ending to the 5th Holy Grail War)
- Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works
- Fate/Stay Night: Heaven’s Feel (movie trilogy)
- Fate/Grand Order
(Events of this happen in a completely different timeline, separated from the original plot. The 1st Holy Grail War does not happen at all.)
- Fate/Extra Last Encore
(The Fate/Extra Universe also takes place in a separate world, with a different timeline, wholly separated from the original plot.)
- Fate/Kaleid Prisma☆Illya
(The events of this occur in an alternate universe, separating from the core plot before the start of the 1st Holy Grail War.)
- Fate/Prototype
(Again, this completely diverges from the actual plot, and the events of it take place in a completely different universe.)
There you have it, the complete watching order to Fate Series. Apart from its main magical storyline, the Fate Series has a lot of fantastical stories to offer with its alternate universe OVAs and Spinoffs.
