The time travel  (Alaya wants crim dead) and Arc existing period while crim is alive as well as zel not trying to murder crim.

[Mordalfus Grea]

this is another Iffy idea of mine, this one starting from Shirou's Origin

What if Shirou was not alone when Kiritsugu found him, what if Shirou had a Twin sister who was also still alive. What if the two of them had a conjoined inner world (not a joined mind but something near that, think of a Twins-Bond or something like that) so when Kiritsugu used avalon on one of them, it affect both of them. Skip ahead a full five years later and Shirou's sister catches the attention of a certain king, said king decides to go undercover as a child in her school to earn her affection as her fellow student while earning her awe. Skip ahead another five years and Gil has only achieved half of his plan, as Shirou's sister has a crush on him equal to Sakura's own crush on her brother. So how will the Holy Grail War fair when Shirou has a Twin sister who is a magus like himself (same level and abilities) but loves the Golden King/Prince and said king/prince has been somewhat humbled by living five years as a human child but continues to strive for [shirou's Sister]'s attention while avoiding his ever growing collection of rabid fangirls.

Main Pairings: Shirou x Sakura; Chibi Gil[gamesh] x Fem!Shirou; One Sided Shinji x Fem!Shirou;

Hmm, why would Gil like this girl?

Also, if there are two Shirous and they have Gil on their side, wouldn't they basically walk the war without any problems? Particularly since Gil most likely has something to kill the worms in Sakura without harming her in the process.

I'm also guessing Shinji is going to die horribly....

[Mordalfus Grea]

Too many plot holes?

[lantzblades]

Gilgamesh and being interested in a female Shirou is hard enough to believe but he's far too far out of character.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, he is chibi Gil. Chibi Gil is somewhat nicer....

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Guys what about a story set 2 years before the grail war, in which Fuyuki is having loads of disappearances happen and Rin has to investigate once evidence that a magus might be behind it pops up. Kirei's on one of his many trips so he isn't around at the time to take care of it himself.

First person Rin story, contains an OC bad guy (Since who else, really) and contains character appearances from lots of other characters as well, such as Shirou and Shinji. (Back when they were BFF)

Concentrates on Rin as a character as she has to surpass herself and think outside of the magus box to figure out a way to track down this person who is terrorizing her city.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, it's not really my thing for the obvious reason, but it certainly could be an interesting fic.

Although, then, Fuyuki already has Zouken, who kills people semi-regularly without being noticed, so I'd hope that Rin might use her new-found investigative skills to investigate why her sister is always so sad....

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

To be fair Zouken is said to be gone most of the time. He doesn't really make disappearances in Fuyuki itself happen that often. Rin would have quite a lot of work to do.

But since my plans for this ultimately end up delaying the grail war(Blame Rin for this, research in leylines involved) and cause a battle between Rin and Shirou in only the second arc, there probably will be an anti-Zouken arc at some point as well since everything is going X-TREME FUSTERCLUCK.

But don't put your hopes up, my ability to write has turned to shit. I'd be lucky if I managed 5000 words of this thing before it all blocked.

Anyway this entire story is me trying to use the fuyuki setting without the grail war, because retellings of the grail war are becoming so very stale.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, yeah, I'm thinking more of the fact that Sakura is obviously really unhappy (Rin acknowledges in HF that she noticed that).

But, yeah, I definitely see what you're saying there. The whole "let's do an alternate Grail War" thing is massively overused. Something different would definitely be good. I guess that a lot of it is because of the popularity of the servants (I would say that, overall, they're probably more popular than the masters), which means people usually won't want to write stuff that excludes them.

[Alice]

It's definitely an interesting idea. Particularly since you don't see Rin and Shirou facing off against each other very often, and like you said, the "Alternate Grail War" thing is already kinda overdone.

[Elf]

I just had a really crazy idea for a fic.

I think this would probably work Post-Fate.

Rin's been working on a way to get the Second Magic.  She's been working on it for years.  She has burred herself in work since the conflict that could have started another Grail War with Waver.  Insert something tragic happening.  Maybe Rin having to put Sakura down like Old Yeller because she was created to be a Grail of sorts by Zouken.  Something where Rin couldn't outright admit or grieve from.

Anyway, she found out about all the tragic shit that happened to her sister.  Not to mention she sees things on the news about Shirou from time to time as well.  Her life is lonely and she has regrets.  So she's doing what any repressed magus would do; try to find a way to the Root or in her case the Second Magic to validate that her life has meaning.

She does; just not in the Zeltrech dimension surfing way.

She wakes up and she's seventeen years old again, and it's the day before she summons Archer in the 5th Holy Grail War.

[Cherry Lover]

Hmm, that could be interesting. I presume she would be very much trying to save Sakura in that case, amongst other things.

[Elf]

Yes, very much so.

Just with all of her power, she still doesn't know how to do that.
