Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Neoalfa's Path of the King is a Fate/stay night Fan Fic created in response to the author's Fridge Logic of pre-Grail War Emiya Shirou not actually having done anything that heroic for someone whose life goal is to become a "Hero of Justice."Due to certain events, Shirou decides to take a more proactive approach to fulfilling his dreams. After pressing his dying father for guidance, he begins to develop a stable magical skill set years ahead of his canon counterpart, applies his abilities to the goal of fighting real-life crime, and in time he becomes known as a neophyte Vigilante Man nicknamed the Archer. But even with the help of paranormal powers, this lifestyle isn't an easy one to maintain; between safeguarding his true identity, keeping himself beneath the notice of fellow practitioners, and sweeping Fuyuki's moonlit streets, Shirou finds himself evolving in new directions as a person, a hero and a Magus.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This delicate equilibrium can't hope to last. New threats creep out of the shadows, and the kidnapping of her close friend brings Tohsaka Rin and the Archer into mutual contact; meanwhile, in a stroke of unexpected fortune, the unassuming yet earnest Emiya Shirou volunteers to assist her with her search. As their developing private investigation becomes ever more dangerous, the consequences of closing it reach farther - and hit harder - than either of them knows to expect...It's basically a Super Fic.It can also be read here. A dedicated forum thread is open here (Beware of spoilers).On October 18th, 2021, Neoalfa released a public version of his Patreon only chapters through a MegaUpload folder, due to growning disillusioned with Fanfiction Dot Net and finding that maintaining WordPress was to laborious.

Rin uses this to confirm her suspicions about Archer's Secret Identity. Shirou later berates himself for falling for one of The Oldest Tricks in the Book just because he was completely exhausted after Yukiko's rescue. | |

Heroic BSoD: Shirou comes very close to falling into one when he realizes that his fight with Ciel over Satsuki's survival kept two people who might have prevented the massacre at the hotel in Misaki from doing so. It was Akiha of all people, who knocked some sense into him and reminded him of the life he did save that night. | |

Metallicar Syndrome | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_154f0a86 | comment |
Metallicar Syndrome: Double Subversion. Rin's kidnappers use an inconspicuous cargo van when they abduct her from her house. However, its presence still catches Shirou's attention because it isn't the kind of vehicle he expects from an upscale residential area like Rin's and it's too late at night for deliveries. | |

Chekhov's Gun: In To Be Saved, Shirou mentions that he's repairing a broken-down motorcycle that he got from Taiga. In An Assassin's Sword, he uses it to tail the van that Rin's kidnappers are keeping her in. Monohoshizao, or more precisely the Accumulated Experience stored in its ancient blade, becomes a key factor in Guilford's defeat. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Yukiko's disappearance would've been mistaken for a runaway case until too late if it weren't for the efforts of her best friend and a few other people who barely knew her. Sound familiar? Once again, Muggle police detective Dojima is tasked with a less-than-mundane case in an Urban Fantasy setting. A few of Yukiko's schoolmates think she has a Yakuza boyfriend. The Fan Nickname for her Love Interests in Persona 4 is Banchou. Shirou notes that "he didn't dare to think what a magically reinforced Kuzuki could be capable of"(explaining the joke) Canon spoilers: A "magically reinforced Kuzuki" kicks Saber's ass in a memorable and villainously awesome moment during the Unlimited Blade Works route and, if the player picks the wrong choices, he also punches Rin's head clean off of the rest of her body and puts a gaping hole through Shirou's stomach. An unconscious Caster is saved from vanishing from existence by the man who would later become her second Master. Medea eventually decides to change Shirou's Workshop from a few-square-meters room into a vast underground space. This may be a nod to the time when she built a replica of an entire Greek city under the Ryuudou Temple in Studio DEEN's anime adaptation of the visual novel. In a relatively rare development for Fate/Stay Night fanfiction, Rin finally summons a Saber-class Servant from the beginning and, just like Nasu said, they make an awfully good team together. In That Which Bleeds (II), Caren grabs both sides of Shirou's face with her hands and pulls him forward until their foreheads are almost touching, making him very uncomfortable given that it's in public. The same thing happened in Fate/hollow ataraxia, minus the onlookers, only this time around, Caren quickly explains that she was using her innate ability to experience the same pain of a possessed person on him. In Skirmish (I) we see that Saber still insists on sleeping in the same room as her master. Rin apparently didn't object as hard as Shirou did. In Ataraxia, Rider was somewhat fixated on Ayoko. Here, she apparently attacks her after being summoned. Caster talks about dressing up Saber with Rin most likely alluding to her Go-Go Enslavement costume change to her in canon. Similarly, she teases Shirou by asking what he'd do if he found her and Saber in his bed together. Lancer is mentioned by the narration to also qualify for the Caster class, like in Fate/Grand Order. In "Escalation (VI)" the mechanics of the Grail are discussed, such as how the Einzbern clan cheated by allowing themselves the ability to summon the first Servant via a queue process, something which would go horribly wrong due to Shirou contracting with Caster when he was meant to contract with Saber instead, completely gumming up the works when he's able to establish a ceasefire with most of the Masters, a situation that should have triggered the summoning of seven more Servants like in Fate/Apocrypha, but because the seventh Servant wasn't assigned a Master in the first place and thus couldn't be summoned, that failsafe could not be triggered. This results in the Grail's current intelligence, aka Angra Mainyu being given control to resolve the problem. This results in... Consequences. | |

She realizes afterwards that she's going to have to go all out and send a signal that he can't miss or misinterperet. Shirou was completely unaware that other girls had genuine feelings towards him until Medea spelled it out. | |

The Straight and Arrow Path | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_28766e5d | comment |
The Straight and Arrow Path: Archer's Weapon of Choice, hence his name. It's also a way for Shirou to use Magecraft in an inconspicuous manner. Trick Arrow: Shirou can modify his arrows on the spot with Reinforcement and Alteration for different purposes. As a Technical Pacifist, he usually crafts them with metal balls instead of pointed heads to use them as incapacitating blunt projectiles. Alteration also allows him to add on runes, which can give the arrows incendiary effects and more. | |

Accidental Pervert | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_2f52c0af | comment |
Accidental Pervert: Double Subverted in That Which Bleeds (I). Shirou enters Satsuki's mansion suite uninvited after an unsettling period of silence (Justified: He thinks the newborn vampire could have succumbed to her blood thirst while he was asleep). As it turns out, she was just taking a shower, and he almost blunders face-first into her as she's finishing cleaning up. While his martial arts training gives him sharp enough reflexes to dodge this trope, he doesn't predict that thanks to her own vampiric reflexes, she might dodge with the same timing and direction. The end result: classic Suggestive Collision. Pervert Revenge Mode ensues. Later, Shirou goes out for an early morning run, so Medea doesn't lock the bathroon door when she goes to take a bath. Then, when Shirou gets back, he enters without realizing that she's there, resulting in them seeing each other naked. This leads to Shirou admitting how attractive he finds Medea. | |

Asleep for Days | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_37c95f05 | comment |
Asleep for Days: Soon after his difficult battle against Ciel the Executor, Shirou falls asleep from prana expenditure, blood loss and simple exhaustion. When he comes to, he's told he was out cold for over thirty hours instead of the six he estimated. Hearing this, Shirou starts to sweat buckets at the realization that he surely made his allies in Fuyuki (Medea and Taiga) worry about him for all that time. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Guilford has a villainous example up and running throughout most of the first Story Arc. He throws money at a prostitution ring to make them kidnap Yukiko for him, counting on the fact that Rin would look for her Muggle Best Friend, then find and save her on his own schedule. In the meantime, he puts Yukiko under the power of the enhanced version of his Sorcery Trait, Rule of Blood; this essentially turns her into a brainwashed mole ready to betray Rin at her most protective. This is meant to ensure that he can kidnap an accomplished Magus like Rin such that she can't counter or avoid him using Rule of Blood on her. Should he succeed in this, he'll have a guaranteed Master candidate and her future Servant working for him during the Holy Grail War and implicitly a brood mare. | |

Woman Scorned | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_4063acfd | comment |
Woman Scorned: Medea, which comes as no surprise considering her myth. While searching for Shirou via a scrying spell, she assumes he's with another woman after seeing him (platonically) sharing a bed with Satsuki and nearly goes into a jealous fit. It took another person's cold analysis of the situation for her to realize that it truly isn't what it looks like. She does feel badly ashamed of her reaction and short-sightedness afterwards, though. Word Of God is that Medea's social mores come from an age where men of power were expected to have concubines, and she'd be okay with that so long as her position in his life remains secure. However, if Shirou were to betray her and throw her away to pursue his goals like Jason did, she'd snap and go on a killing spree. | |

Crazy-Prepared: The creators of the Heaven's Feel ritual took into consideration a large number of eventualities with regard to future Holy Grail Wars, most notably including a surprisingly canny safeguard against Servants capable and willing to tamper with it: the Wards that protect the Grail system from such interferences are an active component of the same, meaning that they can't be taken down while it's still in full operation without causing a catastrophic failure that would destroy the Grail and level the whole city and beyond. This unfortunately prevents Medea from fixing it. As soon as he found out about magic and the Grail War, Dojima had his informants start keeping track of everyone of note in the whole mess. | |

Spanner in the Works | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_60194b82 | comment |
Spanner in the Works: Shirou is this to the enitre Grail War system. Prior to this particular war Angra Mainyu took over the Grail and the Einzberns modified the system multipled times to give them an advantage (first opening up the system to anti-heroes and heroic sprits with the "Evil" alignment to allow themselves the ability to summon Angra Mainyu in the Third War, and instituting a "queue" system prior to the events of Fate/Zero that would ensure they would always have the first choice of Servant). This causes major problems when Shirou contracts another Master's Servant, Caster (instead of contracting with Saber, completely fucking up the queue since was the third Master but contracted with the second Servant, resulting in Rin, the fourth Master, contracting with Saber, the third Servant, and so on, meaning there isn't a Master available in the queue to summon the final servant) - Angra Mainyu ended up refusing to reboot the war to resolve the problem so all seven Servants can be summoned, as it would resolve in less violence and bloodshed. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, except Shirou successfully establishes a ceasefire until the Greater Grail is investigated and his claims of its corruption are verified. This was taken into account by the Grail's designers, and it was supposed to be resolved by changing the Grail War into a battle between two teams ala Fate/Apocrypha, but with the queue being unresolved and the seventh Servant not being summoned and because someone on the outside had set up a safeguard to prevent the Grail from accumulating energy too fast or past a certain threshold, that contingency couldn't be utilized either. WHOOPS. Unfortunately, this results in the system handing over control to the main intelligence. Which is Angra Mainyu, who has a vested interest in the most violent and bloody outcome possible. | |

Shirou manipulates black cloth with his prana and wraps it around his body to disguise himself as the Archer and then undo the process when he's done using it. In that way he doesn't have to worry about leaving an incriminating outfit for someone else to find. It's upgraded to Instant Armor later on. | |

Lethal Harmless Powers | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_65e33518 | comment |
Lethal Harmless Powers: Rule of Blood is a Sorcery Trait that works on living tissue, encouraging the healing processes and allowing cells from different donors to work together properly. So, why did the Mage's Association issue a Sealing Designation on it and anyone carrying it? Rule of Blood makes it extremely easy to play Frankenstein the way Guilford did with his chimeras, and with the help of a magus of Caster's caliber, it's possible to use it in a ritual that slaves people to him, making them as loyal as his own organs. The effect on the victims' minds is particularly disturbing, slowly shaping their thoughts until they're willing to do anything for him, and effectively making them a creepy mix of Property of Love and Mad Love. | |

Clueless Chick-Magnet | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_6df8075f | comment |
Clueless Chick-Magnet: Shirou, as usual. It starts with Sakura (a Childhood Friend Romance this time around), then he sorta gets Rin (you know the drill) and then he gets Caster, aka Medea. All due to his Chronic Hero Syndrome. And now he seems to have charmed Satsuki, but her circumstances are complicated, to say the least. It turns out that he's not entirely unaware, but possesses strong mental discipline, but that with the increase of beautiful women around him, as well as being a hormonal teenager, his discipline is starting to crack and he's having trouble not being Distracted by the Sexy by them. Despite this, he still manages to misinterpret Medea's signals after the bathroom incident as just teasing in retaliation instead of genuine signs of interest. He was also unaware that other girls were interested in him for more than just looks. Medea even lampshades his status as this after she spells things out for him. He lampshades this after Medea clues him into Sakura having feelings for him, once aware of it, he finds it amazing that he didn't notice earlier. It's later implied that Rider is developing an attraction as well, saying that forcing him into submission is rather enjoyable after agreeing to regularly spar with him. Medea even lampshades that it might be happening. | |

Like an Old Married Couple: Believe it or not, Shirou and Caster's relationship takes on shades of this after a while. Their main point of contention is, of course, Shirou's Chronic Hero Syndrome. For her part, Medea is not shy about giving him a piece of her mind about the heroically stupid things that he does. For his part, Shirou develops some measure of tact - however small - in talking to her about the last or next stupidly heroic thing he did or does plan to do...or at least he makes the effort to make them sound less, you know, suicidal. | |

Darwinist Desire: Marriages among magi are all about eugenics for an heir and the comparative magical eminence between spouses and have almost nothing to do with romance. Rin is surprised when she realized that, by that argument, Shirou Emiya of all people is a perfectly reasonable option for her husband and the father of the next Tohsaka heir. And by "surprised" we mean she banged her head on her desk until said realization would be knocked out from her mind. It doesn't work, so she opts for the next best thing and ignores the whole deal in favor of more pressing matters such as the imminent Holy Grail War. | |

For Want of a Nail | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_79a60aec | comment |
For Want of a Nail: The premise of the story. Shirou running into Sakura years earlier than their canonical meeting makes him realize his Chronic Hero Syndrome at a time where a post-Fate/Zero Kiritsugu is still there to guide him. It has truly become an Alternate Universe with Shirou contracting Medea after she's attacked by the Chinese mercenaries, meaning she'll be his servant for the Grail War. This happens to Shirou in Misaki city, as the narration notes. If it wasn't for him meeting Satsuki, or rather her wandering around at night, and then getting attacked Shirou might have gotten involved with the main Tsukihime plot. Instead that happens and, hearing her scream, he just missing Neo Chaos showing up to slaughter the hotel he was staying at. The Grail War in earnest has multiple later on: Caren is the master of Avenger, as it happens it's implied that Bazett actually became Lancer's Master without being betrayed by Kotomine, and Berserker is stronger than ever and can communicate properly. It also heavily implied that Archer and Assassin are completely different Servants, especially since neither are summoned by Rin or Medea. Even when Bazett is surprised by Kotomine and her command seals are taken, she is able to survive long enough for Dojima to find her so he can take her to get healed. | |

Being Watched: Like his canon counterpart, Shirou is highly apt to notice when someone is watching him. The side effects of some unrelated training make him sensitive enough to detect professionals who can shadow other Magi undetected. Shirou has the trope reversed on him during Professor Shirata's presentation at the museum. His attention keeps being drawn to a man wearing Chinese clothes, whom Shirou pegs as a martial artist on sight. Every time Shirou's gaze lingers, the man turns to look right at him, clearly implying that he's skilled enough to perceive others' stares. | |

Entertainingly Wrong: Given the fact that Archer is able to deal with some level of supernatural danger without too much trouble, Guilford correctly deduces that Archer knew about Magecraft beforehand, but he mistakenly assumes that the man isn't a magus because he didn't resort to using his skills in a life-or-death situationnote (Justified: Magi in the Nasuverse are usually too proud of their accomplishments above normal people to not use magic in such situations). From there his guesses go even further off the mark; he theorizes that Archer could be a retainer of Fuyuki's Second Owner (Rin) because it'd be strange for someone like him to operate well within her territory without her permission, not to mention because Archer infiltrated his mansion the same night Guilford kidnapped Rin. | |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: In-Universe. Rider called her Master "Goshujin-sama" in order to avoid using Grail-related terminology in public, her and her Translator Microbes seemingly unaware that the old Japanese word for "head of family" today is mostly used within the context of a dominant/submissive sexual relationship, and causing one hell of a misunderstanding. | |

Loved I Not Honor More: This is how Shirou and Medea's Will They or Won't They? was solved. Once it finally got through his head that she wasn't just playing The Tease with him, Shirou admitted that, while he does love her back, he knew that he'd always put his life mission before her, which he considered it wasn't fair at all to her and that they should remain just allies. Hours later, Medea made him understand that she was fine with being together even if he couldn't make her the center of his life. SPECTACULARLY so. | |

Multilayer Façade | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_9826b657 | comment |
Multilayer Façade: From outer to inner layer, Shirou's Secret Identities stack up like this: civilian persona/vigilante persona/Magus persona (Chronic Hero Syndrome is a constant in all of them though). The distinction between the latter two is particularly relevant when dealing with Tohsaka. In his own words: It could be said that Shirou has a fourth layer (between his vigilante and magus personae) for Detective Dojima, who knows that the whole crime-busting business is not the whole story. This becomes a moot point later on (see Broken Masquerade above). | |

| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_997719d0 | comment |
Exposition Beam: As part of their deal with Waver to surrender Rule of Blood to him, Shirou has a very limited portion of the latter's memories transfered via Magecraft directly to his brain. More specifically, the former Master of Rider's experiences in the previous Holy Grail War to give himself an edge for the current one. Unlike most instances of this trope, while the transference of memories was practically instantaneous, their assimilation much less so. Even several days later, Shirou's mind can barely put enough together to show him short Dreams of Times Gone By. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human? | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_9c45b5a2 | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: What sparked the battle in Isn't it sad?. Shirou refuses to kill Satsuki once he realizes that she retains human sensibilities and self-awareness by having improbably skipped her Ghoul/Living Dead phase and becoming a full-blown vampire in a matter of minutes instead of the average of a century, leaving him with someone who needs human blood to survive but has yet to harm a single person because of it. On the other hand, Ciel chooses to exterminate Satsuki because an unique anomaly like her has enormous potential to become a powerful Dead Apostle if given the time (and also because, deep down, she's a little jealous that there was no one there for her like Shirou was for Satsuki). | |

Revealing Cover-Up | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_a1b0c1c2 | comment |
Revealing Cover-Up: Tohsaka uses hypnosis to make detective Dojima forget everything about Guilford's Mansion. However, she doesn't take into account his incredibly keen attention to detail - the fact that Dojima couldn't account for an additional 50 kilometers showing on his car's odometer is enough to make him suspect that something is amiss. Due to his affinity with swords, Shirou realizes that one of the unearthed blades in Professor Shirata's museum exhibit is in fact an extraordinary well-crafted duplicate. The catch? It's a perfect reproduction of a sword forged using unknown techniques supposedly long lost to time, meaning that once Shirou and Caren figure out that a Wraith is committing the murders through the use of a possessed victim, they also realize that the missing sword is most likely its true link to the world...and that given the replica's quality, the blade's blacksmith is the origin of the spirit. Kirei never told Rin what role he took in the last Grail War. If he had just told her he hadn't known her father's killer, she would have believed him and left it at that, but since he kept it from her, she finds it equivalent to hiding the body, almost totally destroying any faith she had in him. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity: To keep his fighting prowess hidden and protect his Secret Identity, Shirou is cautious to always take a beating if he finds himself in a fight undisguised (likely jumping in to protect someone, knowing him). Taiga is this as well. In Broken Junction, she picks up on clues to the nature of Shirou's injuries using only scarce hints and, as Shirou himself explains, she only puts on an act when things aren't serious. Adachi. On top of being a whole lot smarter than anyone gives him credit for, he doesn't have an inflated opinion of his real intelligence and skill. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Medea is from Ancient Greece, and actual royalty to boot, and thus her mores on relationships are quite different from the norm. For example, she doesn't really mind if Shirou were to take other lovers, as it was common for men as accomplished as him to do so at the time. This and her bi interests makes her go as far as to teasingly suggest Shirou that he should try and bring Saber to their bed, something he has a hard time not thinking about it for obvious reasons. On the other hand, Medea doesn't take well at all anything that could threaten her position in Shirou's life, meaning that said hypothetical lovers should have to simply accept they can't have him for their own. Or else. | |

Modesty Towel | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_ab1064b3 | comment |
Modesty Towel In Chapter 19, Shirou is naked save for the towel as Medea is drawing magic patters on his body. He finds it very difficult not to react to the feel of her slender fingers running on his bare skin. Subverted in Chapter 28, when Shirou accidentally sees Yumizuka walked out of the bathroom with a towel only wrapped around her hair. She does untangle the towel to cover herself in the ensuing Naked Freak-Out. | |

Catch-22 Dilemma | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_ba8b13ad | comment |
The creators of the Heaven's Feel ritual took into consideration a large number of eventualities with regard to future Holy Grail Wars, most notably including a surprisingly canny safeguard against Servants capable and willing to tamper with it: the Wards that protect the Grail system from such interferences are an active component of the same, meaning that they can't be taken down while it's still in full operation without causing a catastrophic failure that would destroy the Grail and level the whole city and beyond. This unfortunately prevents Medea from fixing it. | |

Shirou later berates himself for falling for one of The Oldest Tricks in the Book just because he was completely exhausted after Yukiko's rescue. Shirou borrows this trick for a later use on Tohno Akiha; it helps him corroborate that her father was killed as he'd suspected. He does politely apologize after the fact, though. | |

Boxing Lessons for Superman: It's one of the reasons why Shirou makes a point to learn an unarmed fighting style even if he can boost his body beyond human capabilities. The other reason being to prove to Kuzuki that the Snake, the set of fighting techniques taught to him during his youth as a killing method, can be used for good. It pays off handsomely in Isn't it sad?. During his fight with Ciel, Shirou realizes that she can't die by mundane means, making the normally lethal techniques fair play in that particular case. | |

Word of God | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_cc4b45f6 | comment |
Word Of God is that Medea's social mores come from an age where men of power were expected to have concubines, and she'd be okay with that so long as her position in his life remains secure. However, if Shirou were to betray her and throw her away to pursue his goals like Jason did, she'd snap and go on a killing spree. | |

| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_d243518d | comment |
In Spite of a Nail: Even though one important event from canon's Backstory didn't happen in Path of the King, namely the time when Sakura and Rin watched Shirou trying to perform a high jump during middle school (a.k.a. the BAR scene), both of them still became aware of him due to entirely different sets of circumstances. Sakura met Shirou not long after the end of the forth Holy Grail War and they became Childhood Friends, which arguably made her fall harder for him this time around. In Rin's case, he piqued her competitive streak after he managed to rank higher than her in school ratings in spite of him being an orphan, the captain of the archery club and holding a part-time job at the same time and the fact he's the best friend of her Sitcom Arch-Nemesis, Ryuudou Issei. There's still a fight with Lancer at the school with a witness that said Servant tries to kill despite all the changes. The witness being Issei, however... | |

Amnesia Missed a Spot: When it becomes necessary to make Detective Dojima forget about the events related to Guilford's mansion, Tohsaka does an impressively good job of manipulating his memories via hypnosisnote (Her spot checks include using his trance to press him for info on possible conspirators or incriminating records that would jog his memory). However, he still notices that something is amiss because the reading of his car's odometer indicates about 50 kilometers more than the expected number. | |

Battle Couple: Not a couple per se, but Archer and Rin's Casual Danger Dialog can come across as flirty. This is notable because it only happens after she figures out his Secret Identity. A more straight example looks to be happening between Shirou and Caster as of chapter 39's Relationship Upgrade, as they are a Master and Servant about to truly enter the Holy Grail War. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: Dojima wouldn't have clued himself in so fast to the oddities in Fuyuki if a) his laptop hadn't crashed while looking through old cases files b) he hadn't choose to go to the archive instead of borrowing his partner's laptop and c) if the archive room wasn't such a mess he had to actually organize it on his own to find what he needed. The only reason why Shirou was able to find Caster before the then Master-less Servant vanished from the world was because she decided to spend her last moments watching the sea, which happened to be in the proximity of the warehouse where he stored the items he... er... salvaged from Guilford's place. This nicely mirrors similar events from canon. The narration takes a moment to point out how unlikely the chain of events that led Saber to become Rin's Servant actually was. | |

Groin Attack | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: Shinji was on the receiving end of this trope when he berated Shirou after the latter allegedly slept with Rin the night before (in Shinji's head, he's the one who is supposed to do that), confronting him in the middle of a school corridor. During lunch break. Where she can hear him. What an Idiot!. He gets it again, once more from Rin, this time due to his comments and assumptions about Satsuki who just transferred in. | |

Clingy Jealous Girl | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_eb5b71fe | comment |
Clingy Jealous Girl: Medea in spades. Made more terrifying or amusing because of how easily she can go Comedic Sociopathic or Comically Serious about it, respectively. For an example of each one, the first time she caught Shirou literally sharing a bed with another woman, she almost went into a killing spree. The second time she caught him in bed with the same woman using his arm as a pillow, Medea calmly and correctly deduced that the scene in front of her was indeed Not What It Looks Like... yet Medea still acted on her jealousy by claiming his other arm because she somehow convinced herself it was a "territorial dispute" she couldn't back down from despite the fact neither woman was in a relationship with the guy. | |

Idiots Cannot Catch Colds: Taiga is positively delighted the first time Shirou calls in sick because of a cold, citing this old wives' tale. It's actually just post-heroics exhaustion. | |

| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: Not the main focus of the fic, but Dojima, Adachi and Yukiko are relevant characters. Later on, characters from Tsukihime and Fate/hollow ataraxia start taking big roles as well. | |

Dojima wouldn't have clued himself in so fast to the oddities in Fuyuki if a) his laptop hadn't crashed while looking through old cases files b) he hadn't choose to go to the archive instead of borrowing his partner's laptop and c) if the archive room wasn't such a mess he had to actually organize it on his own to find what he needed. | |

Trick Arrow | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_ef0f881b | comment |
Trick Arrow: Shirou can modify his arrows on the spot with Reinforcement and Alteration for different purposes. As a Technical Pacifist, he usually crafts them with metal balls instead of pointed heads to use them as incapacitating blunt projectiles. Alteration also allows him to add on runes, which can give the arrows incendiary effects and more. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: What makes Tohsaka notice Shirou in this continuity? He gets higher grades than she did in the exams. And how does he manage that? He uses magic to Reinforce his brain, allowing him to multitask with the low, low cost of a Psychic Nosebleed-inducing headache. Shirou also discovers that he access the Accumulated Experience of things similar enough to swords like knives or scalpels; one of the latter grants him the proficiency of an experienced surgeon, though in that particular instance, he ends up wishing it didn't. During That Which Bleeds (I), Medea uses Magecraft as a voice amplifier to give Shirou a very blunt scolding for not communicating with her during the Misaki hotel incident and aftermath. It's powerful enough that birds scatter from their trees in fright despite a decent amount of distance and sound-proofing Boundary Fields. | |

Distracted by the Sexy | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_f10d3363 | comment |
It turns out that he's not entirely unaware, but possesses strong mental discipline, but that with the increase of beautiful women around him, as well as being a hormonal teenager, his discipline is starting to crack and he's having trouble not being Distracted by the Sexy by them. Despite this, he still manages to misinterpret Medea's signals after the bathroom incident as just teasing in retaliation instead of genuine signs of interest. | |

Innocent Innuendo: Rider, trying to keep her nature as a Servant from being discovered, calls Shirou by a Japanese term instead of the English "Master". This, combined with her outfit and appearance, leads the school to conclude that they're in a S&M relationship. | |

Pervert Revenge Mode | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_f8880124 | comment |
Pervert Revenge Mode: Subverted. After Shirou ran away from the Accidental Pervert moment in That Which Bleeds (I), Satsuki's only reaction (other than embarrassment) was to laugh long and loud. Justified: from her perspective, that was by far the most "wonderfully human" thing to ever happen to her after being turned into a vampire. | |

Malicious Slander: The students of Homurahara Gakuen have a tendency to come up with surprisingly sordid explanations for things. For instance, there's the "Did They Just Have Sex?" example above, and when Yukiko went missing, some said she was dragged into a ring of drugs and prostitution by her nonexistent secret yakuza boyfriend. | |

Running Gag | |
| Path of the King (Fanfic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Dojima gets orders of magnitude more displeased and snarky the more he learns about the supernatural. Take the following gem of a line, for example: Shirou's "Being a Hero sure was tough!" and his grievances with Finagle's Law. Shirou's Heroic Build, particularly when the candid pictures that Taiga took of him get mentioned. | |

Comically Missing the Point: Taiga is left with a strong feeling of surrealism when, of all the strange things related to Magecraft, Medea uses an "honest-to-god Crystal Ball" for a spell. The latter notices her incredulity and is quick to assure her that even with the considerable distance involved, scrying for Shirou's situation in Misaki should not be a problem. | |
