A/N: Written for the Diversity Writing Challenge, e7 – drabble collection consisting only of 100 word drabbles. Also written for the Duel World Challenge, vs. Knopse.

Drabbles are posted out of order (on purpose XD) but the numbers on them explain their chronological order.

25. Ultimum

It doesn't matter that their tale's slightly different in the middle; it ends the same. The Grail's destroyed without bringing a single wish into fruition and the Servants vanish from the world. Rin is left re-examining the circle she'd drawn in her family mansion and wondering how she'd managed to summon Shirou Emiya in the first place, what object had been the catalyst…

Apparently Shirou Emiya had a bit of Saber buried with him. A creepy coincidence and pure luck on Shinji's part.

Still, it's closure on Rin's part. Saving him would've given him time, but not changed his fate.
