Perfect

This was a truly beautiful story. Thank you for making it

This is a really fucking good story. The amount of feels you hit me with was not something I was prepared for honestly. Also, I think it was a really good choice to have both endings, and to do the normal one first because it made it so much more satisfying to see everything work out after experiencing that bittersweet ending from before.

I still have no idea what the deal with Shirou's co tract is. Can you please explain?

Hmm. I like the mixture of the other routes, like matou from heavens feel, but overall the impact of shirou being in the past is so negligible. Yet as he tried to maintain the timeline it also makes sense that there isn't much difference.

Oh fuck that was a good chapter. I mean archer was a bit h here, I get it, I really do understand why he loathes himself, but really I kinda want a shirou to call him out on his bullshit, that he is not him, that his mistakes are not their mistakes.
But that ending! He becomes an actual fucking hero! So cool!

You prob answered this in a later chapter, so ignore it if you already knew. Altria is a mistranslation. It's like saying Lin Tohsaka, Shilo Emiya or Lolonoa Zolo (one piece)

YOROKOBE SHOUNEN!

i thought the whole fuckin point of this story was to change things but i see now that all of the pertinent points of the story shall remain the same and only very VERY small details will change.

maybe you should have shirou cry a little fuckin harder eh? that might solve his problems.

the throne of heroes should exist outside of time so all their experiences as servants should go to their originals at the throne. so saber or at least the one in the throne should know about the grail war that she did with shirou.

and is this the useless shirou or the one who can trace noble phantasms

would have been better if he was older when sent back. not right after the war

This was incredible. Out of all the things I normally find fault within stories, none are flawed in this one; your sentence structure is amazing, your grammar is virtually flawless, the plot is a perfectly built emotional rollercoaster, and you even took the time for multiple endings. I've gotta say, you have a lot of talent. I hope you continue making Fate/ Stay Night stories in the future, alongside the ones you've already created. although the quality is good in the F/SN fanfic area here, there is less quantity than some places I've been, so there are so few of the stories I want with the quality I want. Thank you for satisfying me in a way I never expected when I started reading. To be honest, I didn't think this would be good; I came - I am ashamed to say - to this story as a last resort because it had Saber x Shirou shipping. Boy was i surprised when it turned out wonderful. Now, if only it was longer... Guess my next stop is the rebuild, because i've read eve

I am now totally enamoured with you and everything you represent, and I love this story as the best I've ever read, solely and completely because you mentioned the famous Mark Twain quote. you have earned all the respect I have just for that.
