THE WORLD IS STILL BEAUTIFUL

(FATE STAY NIGHT FAN FICTION)

(I literally started writing this out of the blue without jotting down the main points of the story, my inspirations are enough I guess to bring it to life! Anyway, I am new to the Fate Stay universe so I will do my best to put everyone in character and if ever they wouldn't then know that it's not intentional. My source of power is the beautiful tsundere goddess Rin whom I became really in love with, she and Archer is my main OTP but pairing her with the other drop dead gorgeous guys of Fate Stay doesn't sound bad to me either so here's the outcome of my fantasies xD Honestly, I hope she just ended with Archer mainly not Shirou, oh well.)

PAIRING (S): Rin x Multi (If it's not obvious enough, I made it like a reverse harem)

Disclaimer: I OWN NO MASTERS OR SERVANTS.

I - Start of the Song

Given another chance to live and breathe…

In another plane of existence where their previous lives, goals and perspective do not matter… but their memories of the bloodshed, sadness, love and pleasure stay…those that made them who they are right now… it remained with them as they woke in this world with no sense of familiarity.

What is she supposed to do here?

What is the Unseen Forces' goal this time?

It could not be tell by a single glance but one thing is for sure, it's gonna change each one of them and whatever decisions they will make in the future in this plane will either break them…or bring them closer to one another.

This time they turned their eyes on her.

Rin Tohsaka found herself lying in nothing but endless darkness, her aqua blue eyes widened in surprise upon realizing the state she was in; she remembered quite well that she went out to dinner before going back home to her apartment condominium to sleep, not to mention she was still in London with Shirou. What's happening? Was she dreaming?

"Far from the truth unfortunately." echoes a deep masculine voice in the darkness that made her rose up quickly from her lying position, the long dark haired girl went in a fighting stance with her right arm raised pointed in the air-ready to conjure her spells at whoever spoke.

"Who are you?! Show yourself to me!" She yelled in anger, her mind is now running many thoughts that would explain her current situation.

From the distance, a tall being appeared dressed in pure white royal looking garb-his face was angelic and handsome that she could not help but feel a little light, reluctantly she lowered her hand for the aura resonating from the approaching person was not dangerous. He seemed to glow holy light, like an angel sent from above.

The mysterious man smiled politely, "I did not mean to surprise you like this, Lady Tohsaka but please be assure that my intentions are nowhere near suspicious. I am here to inform you of what will happen after this." He walked a little closer until he's just standing meters from the dark haired mage. "I am Thaddeus, Guardian and Keeper of Time, it's a pleasure meeting your acquaintance." the pale long blue haired man made a bowing gesture.

Rin blushed a little, not used to being bowed at, "T-time Keeper? So you can control time by will?"

Thaddeus nodded as he straightened up, "If I wish to do so I could but I never done such thing unless it's really necessary which is not all the time. Aside from that I could also jump from one plane of dimension to another, anyway, speaking of necessary this is one of those moments. When you wake up later you will find yourself in London no more but a city or should I say world far from yours and fight in a war."

"Another holy grail war?" And she found this somewhat questionable for the holy grail recently ended, it was still fresh in her mind how her Servant refused another pact and disappeared right before her eyes. She did not just tell him but in the depths of her heart, she knew she longed to be with him more than the man she was with in London.

The Time Keeper shook his head, "No dearest, it is not for the holy grail, true that the war for that already ended which caused a great deal of pain to lots of you, the fight for the Holy Grail mostly went down south; throughout my lifetime when I watch, it's always death, betrayal and suffering." Sighs. "Fight to the death for one wish that it could give… Without giving fair chance to others…well life is never fair, not even to us higher beings."

"So what am I supposed to do, Thaddeus? What kind of journey am I going to and for what purpose?"

His dark gem green eyes seemed to shone as he looks at her with a small smile, "A journey for oneself and giving yourself a second chance to experience something differently." He placed a hand on her head which Rin found warm and with no harm, "I could not tell you everything or else it lose its purpose but I wish you enjoy what ever will happen, dearest lady and you find true love and happiness." He was about to turn and walk away but Rin stopped him.

"Wait!" She clutched a hand on his sleeve, multiple questions overflowed in her head and mainly she wanted to know who initiated such plan with a foggy concept.

"It's not foggy, Lady Tohsaka." Thaddeus spoke, able to read the run in her thoughts. "The decision has been implemented by the World itself for you and them."

Them? Before she could voice that out, an invisible force pulled her away from the glowing being and in a matter of minutes she's now on a bed staring up at a white ceiling…and a blinding white light on her right.

"W-what the hell…" Rin rose up, on her right was a window-the sky was clear and sun was high bright, grumbling a little she pulled the peach colored curtains to cover the entire window. "Weird dream…" She got out of the bed holding her head, "What does it even mean-" The black haired girl stopped her monologue as she noticed the different look of the room…this was not her bedroom, it clicked to her quickly that it was not just a weird dream, it was REAL. The room was spacious, neatly fixed with a couple of things across her and a wardrobe, the color was not her style 'cause it's too bright of a combination-peach, yellow and white while she prefer something regal or dark-ish. Is she now living someone else's life?

To be sure, she walked towards the human sized mirror near the wardrobe and found her reflection not a different face; same hair length, physique, etc and she was even wearing her favorite sleeping gown.

"I have to check what's going on." Without bothering of changing her outfit, she pulled the door open and stepped out of her bedroom; blue eyes assessed the house as she descend the stairs, it was not huge like the Tohsaka mansion but large enough for more than two people and the interiors are simple, neat and beautiful. The main color scheme of the house was gold, white and yellow.

In the middle of the house where the living room was, she found a tall man standing with his back on her and he was wearing a casual dark green long sleeves and pants, he was scratching the back of his head.

"Hey you...!" She called out in a loud voice, uncertain if it was right to do that or not, she stood near a small shiny table and out of impulse, grabbed the nearest object she could reach for weapon which happens to be a vase.

The man finally turned around and for the second time that day she was greeted by a handsome face…he has pure dark hair styled up remind her of Lancer's hair but still looks different and he has a single defying gravity bangs sticking out which added to his cool look, his eyes were a shade of amber and there's a beauty mark just below his right eye.

"My apologies, young lady, I did not know how I got here, I woke up in the sofa over there." He pointed at the three seater brown couch nearby, "And has no memory of coming in such house, I am sorry if I startled you."

"It's okay," Rin was surprised to know that she was not the only one confused but she recalled Thaddeus mentioning about 'them' so it means this guy was one of those companions she will likely have. "We are in the same situation, my good sir, there's no need for apologies."

"Very well then, I am Diarmuid by the way and you are?"

Before Rin could introduce herself, she was interrupted by a sudden bang on the wall and they both turned to the direction of the sound where they saw someone that Rin did not expect to see again.

"Rin?!"

Oh my God… Tan complexion, tall built, silver white hair and copper brown eyes, red black outfit… No way in Hell…

"A-Archer?" Tears sprung in her eyes, unable to control it, the rough exterior around her heart broke down and gave way to the flow of feelings she had suppressed after his disappearance.

What is he doing here?

Is my mind just playing a trick on me?

But he's really there! Heaving as if he ran a marathon while holding onto the wall for support; she felt the surge of connection again rushed in her veins, he's real!

Without saying anything, Rin ran towards her Servant and enveloped him in a tight hug as she buried her face on his chest.

"Archer, you're back." Her hands curled on his back.

Diarmuid watched as the young girl who was called Rin ran towards the tall white haired guy, the look of shock registered on that guy's face but he did not push Rin away instead he let her hugged him and returned the gesture, placing his head on top of hers. It was such a heartbreaking scene for him and a well buried past unconsciously rose to the surface of his head because of this followed by a clench in his heart but he brushed it off and remained looking at them. Recalling the present problem, he really did not have an idea what occur, being a Servant he knew for a fact that he was far from normal and could live again if called to do so; when he saw the girl, his initial thought was he was summoned by her but it did not seem that way earlier after she called his attention.

When the pair was done, the stranger named Archer was the first to pull away, he loosen his hold on the girl but did not leave her side; his eyes finally look at Diarmuid, "Are you a Servant or Master? You don't strike me as anything ordinary."

"You are correct, my name is Diarmuid and I am a lancer type Servant." He introduced himself, "I thought I was summoned by the young woman but I was wrong."

"I am Archer," Archer said gruffly, "Your name rings a bell but we never cross path yet I presume, this is the first time."

"Why don't we all sit around first and talk?" Rin asked, now she's back to her usual self without any hint of tears. "I do know we are all in the same situation, best that we hear each other out."

The trio went to the dining/kitchen area, Diarmuid sat on the head table and Rin is on his left while Archer went to prepare something to eat in a short period of time, seeing that the fridge and cabinets has foods in it that they could consume.

"What's the nature of your relationship with him?" the dark haired Lancer couldn't help but asking, he was curious for they seemed close with each other. "Are you two intimate with each other?"

Rin choked and almost spit the tea that she was sipping from the cup Archer put before her, cheeks tinted with light pink as she went in a coughing fit. "What kind of question is that?!" No one ever viewed her and Archer like that before, they were never under that kind of spotlight except now…

"Rin what's wrong?" Archer neared his former Master upon seeing her coughing fit, eyebrows furrowed at her reaction. "Breakfast is ready soon."

Rin shook her head, "NOTHING! GO BACK THERE AND FINISH YOUR COOKING I AM HUNGRY!" Her face went totally red now.

"Oh I did not know such question will make you flustered, Miss Rin." Diarmuid leaned back on his chair.

Archer turned to the other man, "What question-"

"YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW! That's none of your business, Archer! Go away-hmpphhfff" A tan hand went to Rin's mouth and clamped it.

"You were saying?"

"I asked the miss of the nature of her relationship with you because judging by your action towards each other earlier, you seemed pretty romantically attached to me."

It was Archer's turn to be surprised, his eyes widened and he scoffed as he turned away from them, releasing his hold on Rin. "Don't be ridiculous, she was my Master, that's all." Afterwards, he went back to the kitchen area to check on their food.

His answer placed a silence between Rin and Diarmuid, the former was looking down that her bangs cover her face it's hard to know what her reaction was-Diarmuid suddenly felt a little bad that he raised the question, it was just out of pure curiosity though but it did not look like it end well with the young miss.

And without his knowledge, he was not wrong at all.

Rin's heart pained after hearing her former Servant's answer.

"GODDAMNIT! What in My name is happening here?! I feel like I've become one of you!"

Cu Chulainn rolled his eyes irritated and messed up to the core as he walked on the street side with a loud complaining golden haired man following behind. He was highly tempted in piercing his Gae Bolg on its chest just to make him shut up but the problem is he doesn't have his powerful spear and he is dressed like a person. You know, without the blue body tights and all. Which is also the dilemma of his companion as how he nicely put it, he felt like all his valuable possessions and power were taken away from him and he got turned into a peasant out of the blue.

It was not far from the truth really but does he really have to whine about it like hell?! Damn King of Heroes! More like a selfish, arrogant bastard!

"Will you please quit your whining?!" The spiky blue haired Lancer stopped and turned to the man with an annoyed look on him. "Look mate, we're both broke it's not only you."

Gilgamesh gritted his teeth, he moved closer and grabbed Cu by his shirt collar. "You dare to speak to me that way, dog?! Have your forgotten who I am?! You are nothing but a spec of dust beneath my throne!"

"Suck it up, will ye?" Cu pushed Gilgamesh's hands away from him, "What are you gonna do? Kill me? Ain't happening, mate and you are no king to me. You don't have your noble phantasm or any extraordinary power so your title doesn't mean anything."

Gilgamesh knew the damn dog was right but he would never never in his life admit that, he's a King regardless of the era or looks, it's not going to change the pure blood running in his veins that these lowly mongrels doesn't have. He was about to retort when they heard a taunting laugh nearby, and quickly he spotted him sitting on a table outside a cafe clothed in a strange looking black-white armor; it kinda looks like a Lancer class type of outfit but more modernized.

"You two should be helping each other out instead of fighting y'know." The unknown man said, a wide sinister smile spread on his lips. "Got something for you." He tossed a jewelry in the air and Cu caught it with one hand, his garnet red eyes inspected the object and it was a necklace with an almost-heart shaped red translucent pendant. Seems quite familiar.

"You are the one who took our power and brought us here?" The blue haired Lancer asked, glaring daggers at him.

The dark haired stranger rose up and shrugged, "Not really, but I am involved, not denying that." He smirked, "You better hurry and find your girl or else…y'all will not make it through this." After that he disappeared into black glitters.

"What a cowardly creature to strip me of my power." Gilgamesh murmured, "They knew they would not win against me so they did this, it was a daring move but it doesn't spell their triumph, I am not yet defeated."

Cu was too busy looking at the necklace to comment or even give a care about Gil's statement, he knew the accessory and saw it already but he couldn't just recall when or to whom it belongs to.

"And who is this girl he's pertaining to?"
