In the aftermath of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu was content to live out his final days with his newly adopted son Shirou. However, he found himself beset by strange dreams, dreams that told him the results of his incomplete training of Shirou's magecraft. As a result, he knew that he had to prepare for the future. For a Holy Grail War that was approaching fifty years early.From Fake Dreams is a Fate/stay night Alternate Universe Fic written by Third Fang, author of the incredibly long Yet again, with a little extra help Fan Fic. The story follows the Magus Killer as he seeks to have Shirou properly trained in skills for the upcoming war, and then Shirou as he tries to make sense of the world of Magi he's been thrust deep into.

Secret Identity
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_112890b3
comment
Secret Identity: When Shirou dons his holy shroud and masks his face, he turns into Emiya, the second Magus Killer and the Clocktower Queen's Silver Dog. This one is quickly out of the bag to almost any plot-relevant character, hilariously. Another successful iteration would be Shirou's identity as the maybe-maybe-not 10th Apostle, the "Ash of Miracles". It's so secret that even Shirou, himself, is not aware of it. Only Merem is. Not anymore a secret identity to Shirou as of chapter 43.

Poor Communication Kills: When the Tsundere nature of Rin clashes with the "just want to be helpful to anyone" nature of Shirou. Shirou doesn't even know what he did wrong when Rin cuts off all contact for some time. Which Rin is forced to realize when she learns of his Reality Marble.

Magical Incantation
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_1ebfd039
comment
Magical Incantation: You know that Shirou's about to do a Moment of Awesome whenever he says at least the first line of his UBW aria: My body is made of blades. "Trace On" also counts. Several other characters are shown using incantations, as well.invoked Sakura has several chants of her own. Her brand of reinforcement starting with His body is made of blades, and several chants to control her brand of shadow magic (reining in the Shadow when Zouken attempts to Mind Control her, or spawning shadow shields to absorb Witch!Caster's attacks).

Archer is one of the most ruthless characters in the story, much like he is in the source material, to the point that he's willing to kill his own allies if it means furthering his goals, but even he balks at the thought of telling Rin about Sakura's childhood in front of other people, he flat out says that he respects Saber too much to reveal what he knows about her back-story and the circumstances behind her peculiar status and condition as a Servant, and he admits that Illya is the only person he won't betray consciously. He gets to show he has far more standards than even himself gave credit for in chapter 48 by Taking a Third Option when confronted with Sakura nearly going critical, no thanks to Witch!Caster. Lampshaded by Luvia:

Wrong Genre Savvy
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_20a14df0
comment
Wrong Genre Savvy: According to the author, Shirou actually relies heavily on everyone in the Association being guilty of this, which has his straightforwardness coming off as mysterious and putting everyone on edge. This is how one could read Barthomelloi's reaction to hearing Shirou's true motivations from Waver. "It can't be that straightforward. It never is." Waver tells her that it is, scarily so. Witch!Caster is this until at one point she pieces out Shirou's motivations from his actions up to then, which she could observe, and secondhand accounts from Rider's memories and understands that yes, he is that straightforward. Archer spends quite a while assuming that the years prior to the War were much like his childhood and that Shirou is an Idiot Hero like he was in his youth, leading him to make logical but incorrect assumptions. He goes straight back to being scarily accurate about the situation after he gets enough of his facts straightened out after Rin and Luvia interrogate him in Chapter 37.

Chekhov's Gun
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: Shirou's inherited magic crest ends up being a Story-Breaker Power against Louvre: Time magic, combined with the Origin Sword Maiya, equals a way to bind a vampire's personal timespace to the Gaian timeline, thus nullifying his pesky healing factor. Shirou is now considered not only a major threat to magi all around, but the threat he represents to magi-turned-Dead Apostles (and eventual threat to weaker Dead Apostle Ancestors) is held to be even greater.

Death of Personality
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_256664a8
comment
Kiritsugu: This sword actualizes the dual concepts of "severing" and "binding". It Severs and Binds just like the Origin Bullets and the two blades mentioned above, but combined with the curse of Angra Mainyu, it hits the target down to the very soul. Hitting someone's magecraft or essence with it can cause the target to literally lose the memory of the spell that was hit. If it hits them directly... Well, let's just say even Roa wouldn't be able to escape it. Louvre finds out just how terrifying it is, the hard way.

Oblivious to Love: Shirou, obviously, but this is Played for Drama as when it is revealed that Rin and Sakura really do have emotional feelings for him, he starts to feel the regret of having played with his friends in such a manner to finally bring an end to the Holy Grail War. And that's not even mentioning the Trauma Conga Line that Rin has suffered through most of the war.

The Dreaded
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_2ae29c0d
comment
The Dreaded: Assassin gradually becomes one within the Holy Grail War as the other contenders find out about him. He has pitiful physical stats, but he's so good at what he does that his battle with Rider and Archer is completely in his favor, with Rider and Archer only surviving because he let them go. Justified by him being Kiritsugu, an expert at killing powerful magi and Dead Apostles using only basic human ability and preparation. Shirou is shaping up to follow in his father's footsteps as "The Second Magus Killer" after killing Louvre. This is not necessarily a good thing, given the number of times he is compared to a monster rather than a hero. Humorously, drunk/sick Taiga. Gilgamesh is so strong that anyone in the War who knows about his existence fears gaining his attention, and even after years of preparation Shirou doesn't want to fight him, even with Saber and Berserker backing him. Justified when he lives up to the hype against Shirou.

Assassin. He's a Glass Cannon. He barely has any direct combat experience, his stats are really weak, and he uses modern weaponry. But, he's so goddamned skilled and such a tactical genius that if you dare try to take him in his territory, all his powers will activate and his pea-shooters and cherry bombs become more powerful than most Noble Phantasms. Hell, if he gets a sneak attack on you, he can hit with enough strength to kill Berserker. Archer and Rider double-team him on his territory and he doesn't even get a scratch, and he defeats Lancer in five seconds flat. Of course, this is Kiritsugu Emiya. Who else could he be?

Even Evil Has Standards: When Medea, the Witch of Betrayal, discovers the room of vegetative orphans being used as prana batteries in the church basement, she razes it and brings the ceiling down on it in disgust. In her words, although using others for one's benefit is a familiar idea to her, even she has a limit to how much unnecessary cruelty she's willing to put her victims through. For all the times he's betrayed his allies throughout the various incarnations of the Fifth Grail War he's been involved in, the one thing Archer refuses to do is have Illya be harmed as a direct result of his actions.

Adapted Out: Sasaki Kojiro isn't summoned as an Assassin Servant by Medea this time. Instead, she summons Kiritsugu. The entire plot of the Lord El-Melloi II Case Files has been butterflied out of existence, per Word of God, with most characters only likely to show up in cameos, such as the one Yvette gets in Chapter 55. Zouken is killed before he can summon a servant, meaning Hassan of the Cursed Arm isn't summoned.

Skewed Priorities: Shirou is unusually obsessed with his kitchen. He takes care of it more than his own workshop and threatening it or his position of head chef is on the level of Berserk Button for him. Connected to this is Saber, who uses food as a measuring stick for basically everything that isn't combat related, to the point that she actually considers delaying her mission for several decades for the sole purpose of eating Shirou's godly cooking.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_3d699462
comment
Assassin gradually becomes one within the Holy Grail War as the other contenders find out about him. He has pitiful physical stats, but he's so good at what he does that his battle with Rider and Archer is completely in his favor, with Rider and Archer only surviving because he let them go. Justified by him being Kiritsugu, an expert at killing powerful magi and Dead Apostles using only basic human ability and preparation.

Worthy Opponent: Gilgamesh still respects Iskander enough to spare Waver, in spite of the latter's blatant attempts to have him killed. The Edelfelts apparently had this attitude to Kiritsugu when it came to doing mercenary work, as their contracts would often conflict. Gilgamesh eventually decides that Shirou has earned the right to face his full power. Then, after the battle's over, he gives Shirou even more respect than he gave Iskandar in a Dying Moment of Awesome speech.

Laughing Mad: Rin after realizing that Archer is Heroic Spirit EMIYA. Archer wonders for a moment if Rin is insane. Sakura in Chapter 25 has a subtle moment of this when the worms come and try to subject Marjatta to what she went through. Illya briefly goes into this when faced with the idea that Shirou snuck into the Einzbern castle and rigged it with bombs without anyone knowing. Gilgamesh starts laughing after Shirou manages to briefly trump the Gate of Babylon. From what he says next, Saber muses that he's gone mad and is desperately rationalizing what just happened. Sirius laughs out loud when he realizes that the Thompson Contender, one of his creations, is deemed worthy enough to become a Noble Phantasm after entering the Throne of Heroes.

Taking the Heat
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_4b39c18
comment
Taking the Heat: Should either Church or Association authorities end up reacting to his plans for the war, Shirou has done his best to ensure that all evidence, hearsay and circumstantial proof aside, would point to him and him alone, to spare his allies whatever punishment would be planned for him. Even Luvia, who has by then been nursing a severe grudge for being manipulated into her role in the war, finds this self-imposed burden tragically selfless.

Power Copying: Shirou, of course, as lampshaded by Rin, since he can memorize and perfectly mimic pretty much any thaumaturgy, provided it is sword-shaped... Borders on Powers as Programs except Shirou (or Archer) is pretty much the only person who can pull this, but he does actually manage his collection of swords with practical effects in mind, improving the blueprints in his mind, so he has always the right tool (elemental, antimagic, absurdly sharp, to name the most obvious) available at hand.

Dark Is Not Evil: Sakura, as a protagonist, can wield anti-mana shadows in battle. Shirou feels more and more like this, especially with the Origin Blades, cursed existences Shirou wants to use for good, or at least not evil. The metaphor gets more and more applied to Shirou himself, he gets described as a monster who saves.

Makes sense considering the Shirou she knows is fundamentally different than most iterations of him, and that Archer is a future version of one of the standard versions of Shirou.

You Kill It, You Bought It: After killing Louvre, Shirou is offered his position as the tenth Dead Apostle Ancestor. He declines, but the one making the offer expects him to eventually accept and thus renews the offer every few months and is holding the position in reserve for him. Played With: Gilgamesh leaves his gardens (i.e., the world) in Shirou's care as a reward for Shirou winning and successfully "invading his kingdom". He also requests that Shirou add Enkidu to his reality marble so that he won't have added nothing of value to it.

Dissonant Serenity: Chapter 39 illustrates what happens when people try to intrude on Shirou's holy ground (the kitchen) despite repeated warnings. The first signs of this prompt Mass "Oh, Crap!" from everyone around who know Shirou's priorities and mechanics: he values his kitchen above his workshop, and he will NOT tolerate intrusion when stressed out of his mind and needing the relief. Sella learns this firsthand on the receiving end of a very soft-spoken Tranquil Fury speech with an Implied Death Threat.

Spanner in the Works
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_60194b82

Spanner in the Works: Louvre, whose desire for Mystic Codes and conceptual weapons has him kidnapping Sirius. This leads to the chain of events that exposes the existence of Shirou and his abilities to not only the Mage's Association, but Kotomine, Zouken, and Gilgamesh as well. The anti-Grail team merely planned to have the Edelfelts summon Medea to gain access to Rule Breaker, with Shirou quickly eliminating the summoned Servant with Luvia none the wiser. Marjatta and the use of Ore Scales pretty much threw a wrench in the plans to minimize the Edelfelts' role in the war. One of the results from this is the destruction of the Matou residence. Assassin/Kiritsugu Emiya. There is a reason the author calls him "the Servant that fucks everyone's plans up." He even humiliates Zouken. He notes with some irony that Assassin's doing the same thing to his own plans.

Rich Bitch Marjatta constantly looks down on other people, viewing them as "peasants" and considering herself several times superior to them because of her bloodline, to the point where she doesn't care that families are dying due to her Caster draining their prana. It's also revealed she killed a potential Master in cold blood before the War even started to get a second set of Command Seals. Witch!Caster's betrayal comes off more as her getting her just desserts than anything else...

Secret Secret-Keeper: It's implied that during Sirius's trial, he realized that Kiritsugu became a heroic spirit, as he reacts to his voice with surprise before he sees the weapon, and throws a massive party immediately afterwards. However, he never brings it up so it's impossible to know for sure.

For all the times he's betrayed his allies throughout the various incarnations of the Fifth Grail War he's been involved in, the one thing Archer refuses to do is have Illya be harmed as a direct result of his actions.

Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: When Shirou mentally goes through the list of people who would have had any evidence pointing to him possessing Avalon during Chapter 53, he realizes that the most likely possibility is Barthomelloi, and that things would likely not go well for anyone if that was the case.

Clueless Chick-Magnet: Like in canon, Shirou has managed to get Rin, Sakura, Luviagellita, and even Rider/Medusa all wanting him without even trying (or noticing). Played for Drama in that the very reasons they fall for him are thanks to his lack of self-worth, and upon learning just how broken Shirou is, those in love with him are torn over the idea that the reason they love him is why he's so broken, and desperately try to stop him from ending his own life through his exploits.

Trauma Conga Line: Rin experiences one as she gets a major info dump about everything Shirou has been doing behind everyone's backs in the war, and Archer's status as a Counter Guardian. Archer sort of invokes this as he explains his goals to Rin, Luvia and Princess!Caster, repeating word for word his rant to Shirou in the canon UBW route. Witch!Caster sort of goes through one by the end of Chapter 48.

You Can't Fight Fate: Ultimately, Archer reaches this conclusion in Chapter 61 regarding his attempt to Ret-Gone himself, when he realizes he could not possibly have known about Shirou being able to survive and use his arm in Sakura's route in canon, which means the Counterforce must have nudged him towards this. Meaning he has no real free will, and Alaya still pulls the strings.

Secret Identity Change Trick: Shirou dons the holy shroud as a ninja mask to hide his features, the cheesiness of which gets frequently lampshaded. Archer tries to do the same thing in chapter 23 when Rin says he has to conceal his identity. Rin scornfully points out this won't work. They end up having him wear a helmet that covers just as much.

Spared by the Adaptation: Thanks to Kiritsugu's pre-planning and Shirou's efforts, all of the servants and their masters are spared by time the Fifth War concludes, including Saber, Archer, Bazett, Lancer, Princess!Caster, Illya, Berserker, and Rider. Downplayed, in that he still dies before the Fifth War begins, but Kiritsugu is summoned as Assassin for the Fifth War, and manages to remain after Witch!Caster's death due to forming a contract with Illya.

From Bad to Worse
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_7870735b
comment
From Bad to Worse: Chapter 33. Everything seems to be going great for Lancer and Princess!Caster in their fight against Assassin and Witch!Caster. Then, the Witch uses a Voodoo Doll made from Bazett's severed legs to take control of her, forcing her to attack Luvia. Then, Rin and EMIYA show up. EMIYA deploys Unlimited Blade Works and opts to kill everyone (which causes Rin to realize this is definitely not the Shirou she knows). Then Assassin's identity gets out, shocking EMIYA so much that he's unable to stop Assassin from firing an Origin Bullet into the ground of Unlimited Blade Works. Shirou's attack on Ryudou Temple not only fails to take out Witch!Medea or Assassin, it allows the former to steal Rider from him, giving her control of half the Servants in the War. (Though, it can be hard to argue this as bad, seeing as Witch!Medea only has one Command Seal left, and all three Servants she has under her command want to kill her, not to mention Assassin hates her even more for using him as bait for his own daughter. The situation only gets worse for her when Shirou points this out, almost ensuring that every single one of those Servants along with all her enemies will do whatever it takes to make sure she wastes that last Command Seal. Chapter 38 shows this is a bad thing, hinting at even worse things, because it gave Witch!Caster a trove of information about what Shirou knows about the war and what is happening around it, namely the corrupt Grail, Gilgamesh, and Zouken. This allows her to finally understand what it is Shirou is trying to achieve. Chapter 39 ends on the note of what Witch!Caster most likely did since it was the only realistic option in her position: spilling the beans to Kotomine that Shirou is not being a rule-abiding contestant and that he wants to bring the ritual to a standstill or outright stop it. Facts: there is an official summon at the Church from the moderator. Conjecture: Witch!Caster spilled the beans. Very likely threat: Gilgamesh is on his way to Shirou's place. Chapter 39 shows that the Clocktower has confirmation that Kotomine is hiding stuff. Plus, Shirou's condition has evolved and it is still uncertain how Barthomelloi will react to it. Chapter 50 has Archer outright stating the situation will get worse before getting better, EVEN though the War is over.

Rin finds out that there are downsides to forbidding Archer from lying via Command Seal: though he was keeping things to himself for his own purposes, there are some things he kept from her to avoid hurting her, like Sakura's childhood and his execution—which she attended, indicating she knew about it and was unable to help him. For a girl who has dedicated herself for the past several years to helping Shirou and has been working to prove herself able to keep up with him, this is a truly awful realization.

Entertainingly Wrong: Archer thinks Rider is still Shinji's servant, not helped by Rider referring to her Master as male. He's soon corrected when he talks about Shinji, and Rin "reminds" him that Shinji has been dead for a couple of years. Likewise, Rin thinks her Archer is the future version of the Shirou she knows, rather than an Alternate Universe version. (However, the humor of it vanishes when she learns the truth and has a mental breakdown over what she learns about EMIYA's past and its implications about herself.) Kirei and Kiritsugu are having a field day with Witch!Caster in chapter 40, with a lot of cryptic lines, the implications of which are completely missed by her.

Broken Pedestal: Kiritsugu/Assassin became one to Archer when he realized that, unlike himself, his father had become a true hero and was not drafted into the Counter Force, and that Assassin effectively doomed Archer to fulfill an ideal that he already accomplished. Needless to say, Archer no longer sees him as a savior and now wants him dead. He starts to get over it once the War ends however.

Story-Breaker Power
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_8712e4c9
comment
Story-Breaker Power: Assassin, or, as the author calls him, "the Servant that fucks everyone's plans up". He has pitiful physical abilities, and his luck is E-rank (as bad as Lancer), but his own personal skills, an extremely versatile Noble Phantasm, and several stackable abilities that each increase the Rank of his attacks, allow him to defeat Lancer in five seconds without even showing himself, and utterly defeat Rider and Archer at the same time. This is Kiritsugu Emiya. The full scope of which gets pointed out in Chapter 36. Tripping on two Broken landmines + Opportunity attack boost? Two A-ranked attacks, and one less life for Berserker. Illya's face upon seeing her father dispatch her Servant is priceless.

Humiliation Conga
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_890d4ef2
comment
Humiliation Conga: Rich Bitch Marjatta Edelfelt suffers a devastating one when she fights Sakura, constantly underestimating her that multiple times would cost her victory, and even after Sakura admits defeat this continues when she unleashes the Crest Worms, her Servant getting injured by Shirou, and after heading to the Ryudou Temple becomes a living wand for her own Servant. That is kinda harsh, though it's hard to argue she didn't deserve at least some of it. Zouken falls on the receiving end of a particularly cathartic one over the course of a few chapters. Witch!Caster finally gets her comeuppance in the finale of Chapter 48. The Archibald family goes through this in the Kangaroo Court of Chapters 52 and 53. All their attempts to throw Waver under the bus and make Shirou look incompetent or guilty fall flat. And to make matters worse, their reputation is rendered completely in ruins thanks to the words of Shirou, Luvia, and Barthomelloi herself. Even their ally, the Einzberns, break their agreement and leave them to their fate when a chance of restarting the Grail War is made possible with a deal with Luvia and Caster.

 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_90e31482
comment
Laser-Guided Karma: Rich Bitch Marjatta constantly looks down on other people, viewing them as "peasants" and considering herself several times superior to them because of her bloodline, to the point where she doesn't care that families are dying due to her Caster draining their prana. It's also revealed she killed a potential Master in cold blood before the War even started to get a second set of Command Seals. Witch!Caster's betrayal comes off more as her getting her just desserts than anything else... Two chapters after giving a particularly scathing "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Princess!Caster, Archer finds himself on the receiving end of one himself from Illya, the one person Archer has always refused to directly harm in any way.

comment
My Skull Runneth Over: Shirou's brain has to process all of the information about a weapon in order for it to be added to his reality marble. His Pure Eyes, when activated, will force knowledge about weapons he can't comprehend into his head. Being forced to process Ig-Alima would have killed him if not for the effect of Avalon when boosted by direct contact with Saber, and being forced to process Ea would kill him no matter what. Shirou experiences one of these when he processes the Origin Swords in his Reality Marble with a serving of Heroic BSoD. And one more time when he structurally grasps Archer, and it dawns on him just WHAT Kiritsugu had been attempting to avoid.

Archer spends quite a while assuming that the years prior to the War were much like his childhood and that Shirou is an Idiot Hero like he was in his youth, leading him to make logical but incorrect assumptions. He goes straight back to being scarily accurate about the situation after he gets enough of his facts straightened out after Rin and Luvia interrogate him in Chapter 37.

Nothing Is the Same Anymore
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_99dfd4fc
comment
Nothing Is the Same Anymore: After Chapters 42 and 43, the plot has turned to something akin to Heaven's Feel, albeit with less death: Zouken, Gilgamesh, and Kirei are dead. This officially means all of Shirou's primary targets are offed, Sakura is about to burst from absorbing Gilgamesh, and Witch!Caster who got Kirei's store of Command Seals is now the last participant interested in completing the Grail. And Shirou is on to the fact that external parties want to have a talk with him after the War. As of Chapter 49, Shirou mentally prepares for confronting Barthomelloi, given his recent evolution means he will most likely not be able to hide it anymore.

Boring Yet Practical: Assassin doesn't seem like much. Witch!Caster does say that he doesn't have any impressive spells, and he really doesn't. He's "boring" because he's cold, is efficient, and does not fuck around. Since he uses modern weaponry, he's the only Servant who who can act during the day, and he can snipe anyone without suspicion of magic. On defense, if anyone dares try to siege your base, his traps and skills ensure that anyone who sieges your base will be SORELY defeated. In fact, Shirou points out later on in the arc that the only reason Witch!Caster hasn't won yet is because she 'does not know how to use such a broken servant'.

Of course, the biggest problem with the Origin Bullets? They are bullets, therefore ammunition in a limited stock, which Kiritsugu only very sparsely used. Here? We have three monstrously powerful swords, and Shirou's Hyperspace Arsenal ensures that he has unlimited copies of EACH of them. They were so dangerous that after taking them in his arsenal, Shirou destroyed the originals so hard the dust could not be used. In terms of being Anti-Magic, Shirou has truly surpassed his father in potential.

Foreshadowing
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: Sirius tells Louvre that he's unable to make the best anti-magus Mystic Code he knows, because the materials no longer exist and he doesn't know where the ones he already made with them are. Louvre is skeptical that he doesn't know where their owners are, but Sirius says one's owner is dead and the other doesn't have an owner yet. The materials are Kiritsugu's bones with his origin in them, and the weapons made with them are the Thompson Contender and Origin bullets owned by Kiritsugu, who's now dead, and the three blades that are bequeathed to Shirou but haven't been given to him yet. On a meta level, ThirdFang is extremely good at dropping hints that seem inconspicuous at first, mainly by having his characters narrate part of an explanation but not everything, only to act upon them a dozen chapters down the road. Even though the Holy Grail War is over, there are many hints that some very nasty things are brewing, enough to make Archer blanch. One masterful example, Taiga being Shirou's Mysterious Protector was hinted to as of Chapters 35 and 36, and further at Chapter 45, before the ultimate reveal in Chapter 51.

Weak, but Skilled: Assassin. He's a Glass Cannon. He barely has any direct combat experience, his stats are really weak, and he uses modern weaponry. But, he's so goddamned skilled and such a tactical genius that if you dare try to take him in his territory, all his powers will activate and his pea-shooters and cherry bombs become more powerful than most Noble Phantasms. Hell, if he gets a sneak attack on you, he can hit with enough strength to kill Berserker. Archer and Rider double-team him on his territory and he doesn't even get a scratch, and he defeats Lancer in five seconds flat. Of course, this is Kiritsugu Emiya. Who else could he be? Shirou becomes this with regards to Servants, as acknowledged by several people and finally officially by Archer in Chapter 46.

Cool Sword
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_a6275bef
comment
Cool Sword: The Origin Swords are Story-Breaker Power material, to be blunt, to the point that Shirou could easily become The Dreaded for other Magi. Bazett tells him upfront that if he ever makes her list of targets, she'll kill him before he can use them. Natalia: This sword actualizes the concept of "severing". If it so much as touches a living being with less than C-Rank magic resistance, the target will be instantaneously cut in half. The same goes for inanimate objects unless they are too big, in which case it's simply an Absurdly Sharp Blade. Maiya: This sword actualizes the concept of "binding". It binds things (note that the binding effect happens AFTER it makes a cut), including alterations, magic circuits, and souls, improperly, effectively screwing over anything that can split itself apart, use familiars, or add something to their very core. A unique thing about Maiya is that if it causes an injury then the wound will bind itself improperly causing severe necrosis, as it works on a molecular level. So, any injury cause by this blade can't be healed even with magic. Also, thanks to Shirou's Time Crest, he can now bind Dead Apostles' personal timelines to the "normal" timeline, neutralizing their healing abilities. Kiritsugu: This sword actualizes the dual concepts of "severing" and "binding". It Severs and Binds just like the Origin Bullets and the two blades mentioned above, but combined with the curse of Angra Mainyu, it hits the target down to the very soul. Hitting someone's magecraft or essence with it can cause the target to literally lose the memory of the spell that was hit. If it hits them directly... Well, let's just say even Roa wouldn't be able to escape it. Louvre finds out just how terrifying it is, the hard way. Of course, the biggest problem with the Origin Bullets? They are bullets, therefore ammunition in a limited stock, which Kiritsugu only very sparsely used. Here? We have three monstrously powerful swords, and Shirou's Hyperspace Arsenal ensures that he has unlimited copies of EACH of them.

Oh, Crap!
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_ad1db87c
comment
Oh, Crap!: While scouting the city, Assassin is spotted and recognized by Gilgamesh. Shirou reacts this way when he figures out that Kirei has just learned of his plans to destroy the Grail, because it means that Gilgamesh is in all likelihood about to come after Illya and/or Sakura. Everyone when Gilgamesh opens the Gate of Babylon to an unprecedented level, which notably never happened in any of Kiritsugu's visions. Shirou when faced with divine constructs. In this continuity, with his Pure Eyes, seeing Ea would mean certain death by information overload for him. Witch!Caster gets one of epic proportions when a quite annoyed Merem announces he will take over as overseer of the whole ritual, knows about everything she is up to, and will let her go this one time precisely because of this. Shirou gets one when he remembers one odd tidbit about Lancer's legend. That he stalled a whole army for SEVEN years with a Runic Curse, and let us remember that he could actually be summoned as a Caster, which shows with his "DOWNGRADED to B-rank" Rune skills. He is actually a far more broken gatekeeper than Assassin could ever be. Princess!Caster gets one when she sees what Sirius and Shirou found out with a new branch of thaumaturgy. Removal of the Ether concept, meaning rendering materials inert to magecraft and undetectable. Witch!Caster when Rin reveals she held the Command Seals to Princess!Caster, and summoned her in the temple, stealing control of it from her, trapping her counterpart in her territory, and unleashing her very pissed dragon against her. In Chapter 62, Waver reacts this way upon learning that the people he is meeting are Fina and Altrouge Brunestud.

Pyrrhic Victory
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_ad9fbc1e

Pyrrhic Victory: Chapters 35 and 36 see Witch!Caster survive Shirou's assault on her temple, force him to reveal several trumps, keep him from rescuing Marjatta, steal command of Rider from him, and use Assassin to physically and emotionally attack him and Illya after taking one of Berserker's lives. Yet, she came out of the whole thing worse off than anyone; having to recover from a mortal wound given to her by Shirou, her plans pushed back, her workshop damaged, all of Assassin's leeway towards her gone in place of blatant hostility, and having used up all but one of her command seals, which leads to Shirou getting the last laugh after they've called a cease fire when he points this out to everyone and says that he'll leave Bazett, Lancer, Rider, and Assassin at Ryudou Temple where she'll have to deal with them. Her position in the War is balancing on a knife's edge at this point, and she knows it. And those are only the things that she knows about. On top of all that, her actions have paved the way for a reconciliation between Shirou and Illya, meaning that she will soon be dealing with Saber and Berserker working together, she doesn't know that Luvia and Rin were spying on her and know just how precarious her situation is, and she's completely oblivious to the fact that she probably ticked off Merem when she killed the King of Rats. All in all, she loses more than anyone due to that battle, and stands to lose even more because of it. Chapter 38 more or less confirms this, seeing as Illya agrees to team up with Saber for the time being, and Luvia and Rin grudgingly agree that their matchup is the one that is the least likely to blow up in everyone's face, compared to other options. Chapter 42 is definitely one. Gilgamesh is dead, but Shirou is completely drained, and Saber is pretty much spent, and there is a threat to the girls in the castle warranting roars from Berserker. Chapter 43 gives another. Kirei is dead, but Witch!Caster has stolen his seals. Illya's maids have been killed by Witch!Caster, Sakura is about to burst from absorbing Gilgamesh, and Merem had to break the fight to avoid further casualties/catastrophes, and was forced to take over Kirei's position. Witch!Caster has STILL lost once again because with her being the only one caring for the Grail and because she made the stupid mistake of killing Kirei, she's effectively united everyone left against her and Merem can now secretly support Shirou from behind the scenes. Barring getting her wish coming true, this is precisely what Witch!Caster will settle for: if she dies or does not get her wish, then no one gets to be happy. This is because she figured Shirou's mindset. Averting this is the main drive for the protagonists, and the reason for the Gambit Pileup in Chapter 48.

For the Evulz: Witch!Caster's whole motivation for using the Command Seals she stole from Kirei to order Rider and Assassin to kill themselves if anybody approaches them with Rule Breaker. Even if Shirou manages to defeat her in the Final Battle, she'll have ensured he won't be able to save anyone.

Dreaming of Things to Come: What kicks off the entire story. Kiritsugu basically sees all three routes, the Multiple Endings, Bad Ends (sans Tiger Dojo), and the life of the Shirou who became a Counter Guardian, prompting him to make preparations in the hopes of attaining the most ideal ending to the war. Rin is technically doing this as well, since she's seeing Archer's life.

Fate Worse than Death
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_b1346878
comment
Fate Worse than Death: Rin, Luvia, and Princess!Medea all consider Archer's fate as a Counter Guardian to be this. And they aren't wrong, as Archer is forced to kill people if it means protecting humanity as a whole, the exact opposite of what he once stood for, and can never be freed from this fate unless he somehow manages to cause a feedback loop by killing a version of himself close enough to how he once was.

Solar and Lunar: While cleaning up the remains of ghouls belonging to Louvre's children, Rin and Sakura discuss how they represent the sun and moon in Shirou's Unlimited Blade Works respectively. The fact that both celestial bodies are high in the sky equally without either one eclipsing the other shows how important both are to Shirou. This doesn't really please the two as they are, initially anyways, in a Sibling Triangle.

Loophole Abuse
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_b1dde8fd
comment
Loophole Abuse: An early instance of this is how Sirius gets himself out of the geas contract he has with Louvre. He is forced to request one because he can't possibly make the very best anti-magus Mystic Codes he knows and uphold his end of the bargain. Then, he manages to twist the agreement so that he is forbidden from using any Mystic Code he did not have on himself when caught. This shuts off most of his arsenal, but still leaves him with his trump card, which is fused with his own person. Used extensively by Assassin and any Servant under Witch!Caster's control. It's hinted Witch!Caster left a few loopholes unwittingly, but they're finally revealed in Chapter 42: as long as Assassin finds a way to interpret and justify his words and attitude as an open interrogation and not actual "interactive" conversation, he can technically communicate information to the enemy. Also, as long as it is technically a way of killing the enemy, he can choose a very convoluted fighting style which, while technically being lethal, will still allow his enemies leeway to survive, thus creating a stalemate. Luvia and Shirou reveal that standard mercenary contracts have an out that the mercs occasionally use, which Luvia uses to break her contract to kill Shirou. Lancer's rune curse that triggers a deathmatch can be countered if someone else enacts it of their own accord.

My Greatest Second Chance: It feels like Illya's warning to Archer has finally paid off in Chapter 48. He goes against his first impulse to take the least risk path, and killing Sakura as she is about to unleash a manifestation of Avenger because of Witch!Caster. As a result, he wracks his brains to find a better solution, and manages to Take a Third Option via a stroke of luck and the help of Rule Breaker.

Everyone Has Standards: Archer is one of the most ruthless characters in the story, much like he is in the source material, to the point that he's willing to kill his own allies if it means furthering his goals, but even he balks at the thought of telling Rin about Sakura's childhood in front of other people, he flat out says that he respects Saber too much to reveal what he knows about her back-story and the circumstances behind her peculiar status and condition as a Servant, and he admits that Illya is the only person he won't betray consciously. He gets to show he has far more standards than even himself gave credit for in chapter 48 by Taking a Third Option when confronted with Sakura nearly going critical, no thanks to Witch!Caster. Lampshaded by Luvia: Reines may be something of a sadist who loves to tease the living hell out of Waver, but even she tried to keep the fact that Lorelei Barthomelloi may be fond of Waver as even she knows where the line is drawn.

Storm of Blades: Like his canon counterpart, Shirou is completely capable of this. During his fight with Louvre, he traces a few hundred weapons simultaneously. Taken even further in his final battle against Gilgamesh, where he matches the Gate of Babylon when it's opened unprecedentedly wide and then briefly outpaces it.

Cool Bike
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_bb0197af
comment
Cool Bike: Having learned from his father that Saber was good with a motorcycle in the fourth Grail War, Shirou gets her one for the fifth. It's a custom-upgraded, nitro-boosted, heavily enchanted 1999 Suzuki Hayabusa that can do 350 km∕h (40 km∕h faster than the stock model) without using the nitro. She loves it. The bike could have been even cooler, but the advanced enchantments require one of the standard five affinities to cast, which Shirou doesn't have. Even before being enchanted it was cool though, as not only is the maximum speed higher than normal bikers can manage (prompting motorcycle producers in the entire world to put electronic limiters so that no other motorcycle can go over 300 km∕h, thus avoiding accidents when these monsters get into the hands of anyone who isn't a champion), but the bike is balanced, sleek and efficient, has good turning and excellent acceleration, and can be easily customized. As the narrator states, "if there was ANY series of motorcycles that had the potential to become a phantasmal existence at some point in the future, it was without any doubt the 1999 Hayabusa."

Finagle's Law: Shirou needs to recover from having Sakura's Command Seals transferred to him. Just as he is about to get some rest, the Edelfelt sisters choose to attack the Matou household. The ensuing battle drains his prana reserves up to the point that his Dead Apostle blood comes to the fore. Also happening post-Holy Grail War, when everyone is stressed out and needs a breather. This is also when Fina decides to pay a visit in town and have a deal with Merem. Shirou is pissed, and so is everyone else.

Out of all the Servants in the Grail War, for a long time Archer is the one who is least informed about the current situation. Which is incredibly hilarious when you think about it. It's not so funny anymore, however, when the truth comes out in an explosive confrontation that leaves several people traumatized by what they learn.

You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Shirou begins to apologize to his allies for having them risk their lives without telling them what was going on from the start, only for Rin to interrupt, saying that the hardships they've faced are due to the faults of others and it was only because of Shirou that they were able to survive them at all to get up to this point. She goes on to say that the only thing Shirou's really guilty of is trying to solve every problem by himself without telling anybody or accepting help from them (and even then that was mostly due to being under Zouken's watch at the time). One by one, Sakura, Luvia, Illya, Princess!Caster, and Saber all agree, throwing their support behind Shirou to the very end. Archer gets one such moment in Chapter 48 when he finds a way to save Sakura instead of killing her to prevent Avenger from going berserk.

Internal Reveal: Kiritsugu's letters to various people inform each about the corrupted Grail and everything he saw in his dreams. Sakura, Rider, and Saber learn about Shirou's Dead Apostle blood when the King of Rats enlists their help to save his life. After Luvia confronts Shirou about Illya being his sister, Shirou is forced to reveal to her most of his goals for the Fifth War. Bazett, Lancer, both Casters, and Luvia discover that Archer is Heroic Spirit EMIYA. Immediately after this, Witch!Caster has Assassin reveal his shocking identity to everyone present. In the aftermath of that fight, Luvia and Rin trade information. Luvia tells Rin some of what she forced out of Shirou, and with Princess!Caster's help the two of them realize Archer is a Counter Guardian. Saber's identity is revealed to everyone who didn't already know when she prepares to use Excalibur while they escape from Ryūdou Temple. Implied: The second summons by Kirei leads Shirou to the conclusion that Witch!Caster learned from Rider most of Shirou's plans for the Grail War and informed Kirei of at least the part about trying to stop the Grail War. Kiritsugu learns why several people know about the Origin bullets and how they work when they shouldn't. Shirou finally gets a clue that Merem assigned him a Dead Apostle Ancestor spot. Shirou finally gets to know who Archer is, and his history, with a Heroic BSoD. Following said BSOD, everyone wises up and decides sharing notes, which means everyone on the team now has a full info dump of Fate/stay night including bad ends, and hefty amounts of Fridge Logic kicking in. Chapter 59 finally has Lorelei finding about a LOT of the secrets Waver and Sirius had been hiding, namely Shirou's Reality Marble, his becoming a Counter Guardian in another timeline Worst of all, her intuition pushes her to suspect Shirou is the Ash of Miracles. Even though Waver is a master of Exact Words and Metaphorically True statements (with a pinch of Locked Out of the Loop to help) it isn't quite enough to convince her, and she only stays her hand because Shirou and Waver are just THAT DAMN USEFUL.

Chapter 33. Everything seems to be going great for Lancer and Princess!Caster in their fight against Assassin and Witch!Caster. Then, the Witch uses a Voodoo Doll made from Bazett's severed legs to take control of her, forcing her to attack Luvia. Then, Rin and EMIYA show up. EMIYA deploys Unlimited Blade Works and opts to kill everyone (which causes Rin to realize this is definitely not the Shirou she knows). Then Assassin's identity gets out, shocking EMIYA so much that he's unable to stop Assassin from firing an Origin Bullet into the ground of Unlimited Blade Works.

What the Hell, Hero?: Luviagetta Edelfelt gives one to Shirou once she finds out about his advantages in the Grail War (years of preparation, the Origin swords, etc.) that threatens to completely destroy their friendship. He has very good reasons for hiding it, though. Rin tears Shirou a new one for trying to kill Archer in a fit of Unstoppable Rage, when really no matter what grudge he might have against him, the moment is NOT appropriate at all.

He takes the initiative and provides premium intel (what Kirei didn't report about or doesn't even know—which ends up being the whole truth minus a very few select details) to Lorelei Barthomelloi so that she may use the truth as she sees fit and keep an edge over anyone else who might want to use the whole fiasco for their own ends.

You Are Not Alone: Part of Rin's comforting speech when Shirou tries to make sense of receiving Mystic Code swords from Kiritsugu while being told to tone down his heroic-obsessed distortion. Shirou receives a toned down version of this towards the end of the War when he finally has half of the participants on his side.

Refuge in Audacity
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_d45c0b86
comment
Refuge in Audacity: Kirei's cover for the collateral damage of the battle at Matou's manor was chosen for three reasons: it adequately explained the home being burned to the ground and a large strip of road and a part of the woods being burned; it was so over-the-top that people wouldn't be willing to think too hard about it; if Zouken survived, it would tick him off by declaring his home destroyed by a fool. Sakura pulled a magnificent example of it on Taiga when trying to explain what they had been doing, which got a Lampshade Hanging. Shirou is also prone to using it, like when joking about his Dead Apostle condition to Barthomelloi. It does say that he regrets saying it in the future. Chapter 52 has Shirou pulling this the whole freaking time, to the tune of "You CERTAINLY do not expect me to be able to copy Noble Phantasms? Defeat a Caster Servant from the Age of the Gods? Defeat the King of Heroes in a fight? Let's get real for a second here, will you?". It works, for the most part, because the mere notion is just THAT outlandish to even consider. Chapter 53 has Shirou turn back the accusation of owning and concealing Avalon, by first authenticating the file the prosecution has (which mentions some very sensible bits about his element, crest and such; from Chapter 19), THEN pointing out that the authenticated evidence could only have been acquired by an aforementioned spy to House Barthomelloi. The end result is he now has given Lorelei a free pass to investigate anyone remotely involved with the prosecutor for the last two years. Shirou even lampshades it.

Shirou begins to apologize to his allies for having them risk their lives without telling them what was going on from the start, only for Rin to interrupt, saying that the hardships they've faced are due to the faults of others and it was only because of Shirou that they were able to survive them at all to get up to this point. She goes on to say that the only thing Shirou's really guilty of is trying to solve every problem by himself without telling anybody or accepting help from them (and even then that was mostly due to being under Zouken's watch at the time). One by one, Sakura, Luvia, Illya, Princess!Caster, and Saber all agree, throwing their support behind Shirou to the very end.

Barring getting her wish coming true, this is precisely what Witch!Caster will settle for: if she dies or does not get her wish, then no one gets to be happy. This is because she figured Shirou's mindset. Averting this is the main drive for the protagonists, and the reason for the Gambit Pileup in Chapter 48.

Didn't See That Coming
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_dfa40c1b
comment
Didn't See That Coming: Waver Velvet's plan to rescue Sirius runs afoul when Louvre uses his newly-acquired weapon. Shirou is offered both a scholarship under the Queen and the role of the 10th Dead Apostle Ancestor. The Queen seeks to use him as a public enforcer for this reason and awards him a Noble Color for his advancements. Because of Ore Scales, the Edelfelt sisters summon two Medeas, one as a princess, and the other as the familiar witch. Witch!Caster didn't expect to be faced with Gae Dearg: Shirou finding out that Assassin is neither Sasaki nor one of the Hassan-i Sabbah. For that matter, any of the contenders finding out that Assassin uses modern weaponry. Zouken. In a very, VERY satisfying way, he never saw Kirei and Shirou pull a Enemy Mine on him, and utterly obliterating him. Lorelei receives quite a few of these in Chapter 40: Emiya Kiritsugu being Assassin, Shirou nearly outright threatening to destroy her life's achievement if she dares touch his protectorate, and him offering her control over several Servants. Chapter 43 has a pileup of these: Kirei didn't think Sakura could control the curse keeping him alive, and nearly gets killed for his trouble. He didn't think Leysritt would stay alive after being nearly decapitated, and pays dearly for it. He most likely didn't expect Witch!Caster to waltz in and steal his Command Seals. To trump it all, Witch!Caster (or anyone else for that matter) did not expect Merem to take Kirei's mantle as Overseer. Chapter 48 has quite the list too: Lancer did not expect Saber to use a rune curse to get locked in deathmatch with him, Rin did not expect Kirei to be resurrected, Witch!Caster did not expect Shirou to be able to defend against Rider's full power, no one expected Witch!Caster to be stupid enough to mess with Avenger's curse to get at Sakura, Witch!Caster did not expect Rin to hold the Command Seals to Princess!Caster, and last of all she certainly did not expect Assassin in her workshop at the last moment. The mages of the Clock Tower didn't expect Kiritsugu to have set explosives to destroy Fuyuki's leylines to ensure the end of the Fuyuki Holy Grail Wars. They also didn't expect one of the Servants to be a Counter Guardian.

 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_e50818aa

Normally, I Would Be Dead Now: Shirou tends to go through these moments quite a lot, as per Canon. In the Grail War alone, he gets injured to normally-deadly levels by Berserker nearly breaking him apart when he does not have a Servant yet, Assassin blowing his heart out, his own powers backfiring on himself, Gilgamesh unleashing Gate of Babylon on him, a full-power Pegasus controlled by Rider, Rider controlled by Witch!Caster, and finally Witch!Caster herself. It certainly helps that he has a very potent Healing Factor.

An early instance of this is how Sirius gets himself out of the geas contract he has with Louvre. He is forced to request one because he can't possibly make the very best anti-magus Mystic Codes he knows and uphold his end of the bargain. Then, he manages to twist the agreement so that he is forbidden from using any Mystic Code he did not have on himself when caught. This shuts off most of his arsenal, but still leaves him with his trump card, which is fused with his own person.

Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?
 From Fake Dreams (Fanfic) / int_ef0a5ce
comment
Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?: It's more like bargaining, but Shirou manages to get a better deal on his end should he agree to being Lorelei's "dog". Sirius, Bazett, and Waver are not happy he risked his life that way. He does the same thing later on, in the middle of the Holy Grail War: Shirou successfully ropes Lorelei into covering his back in the event his machinations are revealed to the global magus community, and takes his first steps in protecting the people he cares about, by 1) contacting her ahead of everyone and letting her know more of the truth than anyone will get access to, 2) dangling the very attractive prospect of having several Servants to command, and 3) giving a very strongly implied threat that if Lorelei dares touch his Protectorate, he will gamble everything to smear the achievement of her life. This is impressive in its own right because it's a double instance of Staring Down Cthulhu, where Shirou actually threatens to HURT an Eldritch Abomination to HOLD IN CHECK his very badass boss. It's more this trope than Staring Down Cthulhu because it's actually used as a bargaining chip to ensure no one gets flak from Shirou's machinations.

comment
Named Weapons: The Origin blades Shirou is given by Kiritsugu post-mortem are all named after people in Kiritsugu's life, each having a Meaningful Name. The blade of Severing is given the name Natalia, after Kiritsugu's adoptive mother. It was she who informed him of his dual origins, and crafted the first of his Origin rounds. The blade of Binding is given the name Maiya, after Kiritsugu's partner and mistress. It was she who served as one of his remaining ties to morality, and she who often helped make sure his plans came together. The third blade is named after Kiritsugu himself, and carries his dual origin. His name reflects both Origins: Severing ("kiri") and Binding ("tsugu").

Locked Out of the Loop: Out of all the Servants in the Grail War, for a long time Archer is the one who is least informed about the current situation. Which is incredibly hilarious when you think about it. It's not so funny anymore, however, when the truth comes out in an explosive confrontation that leaves several people traumatized by what they learn. As of Chapter 59, Lorelei is in the loop regarding Shirou's Reality Marble and its possibilities. However, she has yet to know for sure he is the Ash of Miracles, even though she now has strong suspicions.
