Traitor!Im sorry Ilya loyalists, but I'm jumping ship... Medea Lily is the best!
Also, my vote:
[X] Talk with Medea on your side of the story
[X] Have Medea scry over the Emiya residence
[X] Emiya Residence, Kiritsugu's origin bullets should still be in the locked case…
The heart bit isn't that bad considering Medea's Pain Breaker.[X] Talk with Medea on your side of the story
[X] Write in: Have Medea scry over the Matou Residence
[X] Emiya Residence, Kiritsugu's origin bullets should still be in the locked case
My thinking is is that even if we were to take care of Zouken, an Origin bullet would be the simplest way. It might even be in character too. Medea scrys the Matou residence, maybe finds out what Zouken is up to, and then Shirou gets furious. Shirou would then plan a way to rescue Sakura which might envolve the origin bullets...
It might be one of the best ways in dealing with Zouken who can body jump. There is, of course, the worms around Sakura's heart. That's an issue...
Some people made a write-in for Medea to scry the Matou household.
Aww, some people do care...
That'll help get Shirou over his, 'try not to think of Sakura when it's still raw' phase... maybe.
Although Rin and Shirou are very likely to stick with their canon servants unless something is done.
This Shirou doesn't really know that EMIYA intends to kill himself... uh... damn it.Well, that's good news. I really want this Shirou to meet that Shirou and that other Shirou. I actually kind of imagine our Shirou just jumping on top of the Emiya shed and making a comment on Archer trying to kill Shirou.
Huh. Can we still create Divine Constructs by the by? Because Archer apparently can't, so we could use that to our advantage if it ever comes down to it.
This Shirou doesn't really know that EMIYA intends to kill himself... uh... damn it.
Anyways, yes he can still create Divine Constructs that are strong enough to block other Divine Constructs, but they tend to be hollow on the inside to an extent. Other than that, their capabilities can still be activated with enough prana to a weaker extent compared to the originals. e.g. Sul-Sagana can still fire laser beams.
Now, since we're right before any of the possible branches, which route should we "guide" Original!Shirou down on?
Fate seems the most straight forward.
UBW ends with Gilgamesh as the final boss, but at least any problems regarding Canon!Medea has been butterflied away.
Heaven's Feel? Oh boy. Sure, it's the route for saving Sakura, but the possible enemies... including Sakura herself.
At any rate, using the Grail would get Angry Manjew a chance to pervert Shirou's wish, no matter how he'd spin it...
Type-MOON rules are that people who are similar or alike cannot get along...Is it wrong that I want the Shirou's to meet and join forces?

Miyu!Shirou would likely wish Fate!Shirou the best, hoping that this Shirou doesn't keep making mistake after mistake and lose everything in the end. Fate!Shirou wouldn't agree with becoming the 'villain' but he would agree with saving Miyu in accordance to the "Save Everyone" principal.That, and at this time they're ideally opposed to each other. Miyu!Shirou willingly became the 'villain' and sacrificed both the world and his ideals in order to save Miyu. Fate!Shirou meeting someone like that would really rub him the wrong way, just like how he was irritated at Archer almost subconsciously.
How will EMIYA feel about Miyu!Shirou and how he turned away from the EMIYA path?Miyu!Shirou would likely wish Fate!Shirou the best, hoping that this Shirou doesn't keep making mistake after mistake and lose everything in the end. Fate!Shirou wouldn't agree with becoming the 'villain' but he would agree with saving Miyu in accordance to the "Save Everyone" principal.
Saber would probably sacrifice Miyu in contrast. Although Fate!Shirou converted to Archer's way of thinking would behave differently and could either go HF or UBW (try anyway, at least you tried thinking) with the decision.
EMIYA would sort of understand where Miyu!Shirou was coming from, but would ultimately be the Seigi No Mikata and give Miyu up if he was in Miyu!Shirou's shoes. But in his capacity as a Counter Guardian he would probably be protecting Miyu instead due to plot reasons. Besides, no one seriously trusts the Ainsworth for the whole 'save the world' thing being altruistic, not Gaia nor Alaya. Curious thing to note: He will never attack Illya in any timeline, even if he could have ended the Grail War easily and the later complications.
In the end, Miyu!Shirou wouldn't hold anything against most other versions of himself since he's "been there" and already made his decision.
