They already survived one Grail War right, so how bad could another one be? Oh wait, there are twice as many Servants? There's a Ruler? There's another weird priest? And their faction is called the — Oh boy, if Shirou and Rin survive this, they'll be having words (and swords and curses and explosions) with Zelretch.The Third Faction is a Fate/stay night fanfic by TheMaster4444 set after the events of the Unlimited Blade Works route that follows Shirou and Rin navigating the events of Fate/Apocrypha after being reunited with Saber as the third faction in the Great Holy Grail War.They thought they couldn't be surprised anymore, but as it turns out Fate has a way throwing more curveballs at you.And Shirou and Rin should know by now, that nothing is what it seems in a Holy Grail War.

Anyone Can Die: Given that this is a Grail War, there is little doubt that a lot of Servants will die, and some of the Masters will undoubtedly kick the bucket too.

Adaptational Villainy: Canonically, Darnic's actions in the Third Holy Grail War only incidentally result in the death of Zouken Matou. In the reality Shirou and Rin are dumped in, Darnic purposely murdered the Tohsaka and Einzbern families alongside Zouken.

The Dreaded: Shirou is this to Sisigou and Amakusa, though less because of his own abilities and moreso due to his connection to Kiritsugu, the Magus Killer. Sisigou, in particular, doesn't want anything to do with Kiritsugu after a joint mission with him left Sisigou so terrified of the Magus Killer that he kept tabs on his fellow mercenary just be sure he could be as far away from him as possible.

Hidden Depths: Neither are outright cruel, but Siegfried shows a strategic side that a knight of his caliber who has fought in the constant wars of the Middle Ages would possess, given his manipulation of Achilles to fight Arturia and Fiore surprises herself with how she is willing to twist Spartacus' beliefs to get him on her side, though she is very unsettled by her actions.

Embarrassing Nickname
 The Third Faction (Fanfic) / int_317629db
comment
Embarrassing Nickname: This sums up Rin's feelings about the color that their faction of herself, Shirou, and Saber are given by Zelretch. Luckily, Ruler fixes that little pickle by formally dubbing them the Blue Faction in honor of Saber's signature look. Unfortunately, everyone else in the war hasn't been made aware of this, so they still refer to their faction by their initial color designation: The Periwinkle Faction.

 The Third Faction (Fanfic) / int_39ff7ffb
comment
Saber's issues with Mordred are such that her attempt to Change the Uncomfortable Subject are hilariously inept, something Rin and Shirou notice. A rare moment where this trope is treated seriously and still Played for Laughs.

comment
Worthy Opponent: Saber, Siegfried, and Karna all view each other as this after their three-way duel. Vlad actually gains a significant measure of respect for Rin after she unflinchingly stands up to him and successfully convinces the Black Faction to stand down to allow her and her allies to leave. Shakespeare believes that Shirou can be this seeing him as the perfect antagonist for his protagonist Shirou Amakusa.

Smug Snake: Just about everyone considers Celenike one, but especially Rin during their fight. Rin mocks her for her lack of Magecraft skill as well as emotional control and strategy in combat, especially since the last two mess up Fiore's and Gordes' own attempts to take Rin down. Not surprisingly, Celenike doesn't survive.

Villain Has a Point
 The Third Faction (Fanfic) / int_723be11b
comment
Villain Has a Point: Furious with her recent failures & shortcomings, Darnic now has no qualms of sacrificing Fiore, his own heir to further his plans. While this is perceived as cruel, Darnic is not entirely wrong in his reasoning as Fiore is indeed too kind & soft hearted to be a proper Magus, much less a Master & her initial attempts in taming Spartacus have not been successful. Shakespeare brings Shirou's conflict of achieving his dream of becoming a Hero of Justice to the forefront and attacks it head-on with his Noble Phantasm. He examines and takes apart Shirou's life with many points to make him Amakusa's perfect foe. A number of which Shirou denies but others he struggles to argue against. But it's this observation that perfectly sums up Shirou's mindset.

Friend to All Children: Atalanta much like in canon is very protective of children and her wish is to ensure that no child will ever have to grow up without love. As such, once she finds out Mordred's true age, she becomes very protective of her and decides to help her and Sisigou out a little longer.

comment
For Want of a Nail: In canon, Jack managed to erode Atalanta's defenses, so she saw them as innocent children (which they are, technically) and flew into a blind rage when they were killed. Here, since more people get sucked into Jack's world, Jack can't spare as much focus on Atalanta, and she has only some minor guilt over Jack being killed.

Tsundere: This is probably the closest approximation to the way Mordred feels about her father. She holds a respect for Artoria that borders on hero worship, and goes into a rage when anyone, even Artoria herself, suggests she wasn't perfect. At the same, Mordred still hates her father and will fiercely deny any positive feelings towards her, even as she continues to sing her father's praises.

Cuteness Proximity: Cats to Mordred as per usual unfortunately for her she gets paired up with Atalanta who not only causes all of the cats to flock to her instead but also refuses to allow Mordred to touch her lion ears. What ultimately causes Mordred to agree to team up with Atalanta to battle the Blue Faction is the latter letting her pet her lion ears.

Entertainingly Wrong: Due to their prior experiences with the grail, Shirou and Rin initially assume that the grail is corrupted with the spirit of Angra Mainyu, unaware that, due to Darnic's actions and the Einzberns summoning Ruler Amakusa instead of Avenger, the grail was never corrupted. Ruler eventually straightens them out in this regard.

It Amused Me: The apparent reason why Zelretch sends Shirou and Rin to the world of Fate/Apocrypha since he found how the war played out to be rather dull and felt they could spice things up. Whether this is true or if Zelretch has some alternative agenda is yet to be revealed. Archer (EMIYA) hints to Shirou in a dream that Zelretch may have ulterior motives beyond alleviating his boredom.

Jack and Chiron are killed during Jack's initial debut, where canonically, no Servant or Master died during that confrontation. Chiron's death, in particular, is very notable since he didn't die until the Final Battle with the Red Faction in the canon timeline as opposed to his very early death here.

Inferiority Superiority Complex
 The Third Faction (Fanfic) / int_a7ba94de
comment
Inferiority Superiority Complex: Mordred falls into this hard. She is constantly bragging about how she is the only fighter to surpass her father, King Arthur, even though Mordred never actually beat Arturia. She also claims credit for the defeat of enemies that were either killed by others, aren't actually dead, or she needed help to beat (though to her credit, she does believe she killed them all herself). Its clear this is all due to her desperate need to prove herself to her father and gain Arturia's acknowledgment. When Astolfo calls Mordred out of this she flips out and nearly kills Astolfo right then and there.

Odd Friendship
 The Third Faction (Fanfic) / int_a94eaaa4
comment
Odd Friendship: Mordred and Atalanta. They don't have any significant interactions in canon and their personalities are as different as night and day but in this fic they end up spending time together due to the Blue Factions presence. Mordred actually refers to Atalanta as "her cat" due to her lion ears and Atalanta identifies with the Knight of Treachery due to both of them being rejected by their fathers. After finding out Mordred's true age Atalanta becomes very protective of her and gives her copious amounts of encouragement, a sentiment only her Master Sisigou did previously, thus making their bond stronger.

comment
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Gordes is the definition of Small Name, Big Ego, but Rin and Shirou acknowledge that his mastery of alchemy combined with hand-to-hand does make him a decent threat, and he even catches Rin off-guard by turning his pectoral muscles into metal to stop a Reinforced kick from her, a feat she notes is incredibly dangerous since messing that up would have turned his lungs into metal.

Big Brother Mentor: Shirou to Sieg: Though Shirou doesn't believe he makes a good role model for Sieg due to his own mental issues. Nonetheless, Shirou is happy to help the homunculus however he can and even teaches him cooking which Sieg picks at an extremely quick pace.

Alas, Poor Villain
 The Third Faction (Fanfic) / int_ac09dc0f
comment
Alas, Poor Villain: Jack's death is given quite a bit of sympathy by the Blue Faction in spite of the terrible things they've done since ultimately Jack is merely a conglomeration of children who died unloved and never even given the chance to really live. Ultimately the best that Saber can do is give them a quick death with Excaliber's holy light to show them that hope exists and they die content even if they believe that hope is an impossible dream for them.

Man of Kryptonite: Shirou is this to a few Servants. Since his Reality Marble, Unlimited Blade Works, is a separate world, Vlad loses his Home Field Advantage of Romania. Since Unlimited Blade Works is always daytime, Jack's Maria the Ripper finisher, which only works at night, is neutralized. Since he can Trace the history of weapons, he can quickly identify their owners and weaknesses. For example, as soon as he meets Siegfried, he informs Saber of his Achilles' Heel that a spot on his back is not invulnerable.

Berserk Button: Though they are Servants, they are still people & thus can get rather angry. Mordred has two: Do not ever call her a girl in any way & don't dismiss her as unworthy, which she, correctly, took Astolfo's comment to mean. For Atalanta, do not hurt children in any way for form.

Dies Differently in Adaptation
 The Third Faction (Fanfic) / int_c181a846
comment
Dies Differently in Adaptation Jack and Chiron are killed during Jack's initial debut, where canonically, no Servant or Master died during that confrontation. Chiron's death, in particular, is very notable since he didn't die until the Final Battle with the Red Faction in the canon timeline as opposed to his very early death here. Celenike is killed by an explosion Rin sets off during their fight, where canonically, she uses two Command Spells to try and make Astolfo kill Sieg & Mordred decapitates her without fanfare.

Internal Reveal: Shirou finally finds out the truth of Kiritsugu's past in the UBW timeline thanks to Sisigou. Needless to say, he isn't happy to find out his father was the Magus Killer and doesn't believe Kairi at first. It's only after he sees Archer (EMIYA) again within his Unlimited Blade Works mindscape and gets confirmation from him that Shirou accepts the truth about his father.

Cassandra Truth: Shirou denies vehemently that Kiritsugu was the infamous Magus Killer when told so by Sisigou who worked with him once. Shirou only believes it once he meets Archer again and asks him point blank if its true. Needless to say Shirou isn't happy to learn how similar his father and his alternative timeline counterpart are.

Quality over Quantity: Rin ends up facing off against three of the Black factions mages on her own. While she does take some hits and uses a fair number of gems by the end of the fight she is the victor. Thanks to her natural talent as a mage, her years of training, and experience fighting in fifth Holy Grail War Rin ends up killing Celenike and putting Fiore and Gordes down for the count.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Shirou gets very angry with Shakespeare & attempts to kill him after the latter pushes him too far. Saber's issues with Mordred are such that her attempt to Change the Uncomfortable Subject are hilariously inept, something Rin and Shirou notice. A rare moment where this trope is treated seriously and still Played for Laughs.

Comically Missing the Point: Shirou and Karna obviously have no concept of what an Inherently Funny Word is, because they do not get what's so funny or weird about the third faction being called "periwinkle". Shirou states several times that he doesn't get it (in response to Gordes laughing his head off and Rin despairing), while Karna straight up states that it's a perfectly fine colour and they should take pride in it.
