Yeah, I could easily see a Shirou/Ayako/Sakura/Medea/Circe/Taiga polycule, maybe with Mata Hari, Morded, and/or Archer drifting in and out. Wouldn't be the most complicated polycule I've seen before.

Sounds like a headache to me. I'm invested in Taiga as a character, but not as a prospect for romance. Mata Hari I basically don't know at all, and Mordred has bad habit of stabbing people she shouldn't stab.

Sakura is the odd one, as she clearly has feelings for Shirou, but hasn't done much with them besides stew. That's not attractive. Hell, that's part of why I like Ayako so much, girl went for it. She used Shirou saving her brother as an excuse, but even that she put aside and said she's doing because she just likes Shirou. Meanwhile Sakura has just sat and watched. Unless that changes, she's taken herself out.

Medea is cute and has had some serious conversations with Shirou. She has issues and trauma, but she's willing to be open with Shirou at least. Circe has decided to be full-on grandma gremlin, so while she's angling to get into Shirou's pants (and Medea's robe) (And Ayako's skirt), it's not clear if she's looking for anything besides entertainment.

Well she also wants Medea to be happy, but that's all I'm certain about.

So as it stands, Ayako and Medea are who I'm interested in seeing Shirou with.
 
.... I'm all for Medea and Ayako romance because those characters don't get a alot of love in the fandom from my exp. But really... I don't care WHO it is as long as it reads well and feels waffy.

So by that logic and given its Erien writing... I'm fine with anything!
 
Yeah, we're going to need to pay some good attention to Sakura if she's ever going to break out of her stewing. Girl deserves some tender love and care.

To be fair, that's how it works in canon too. Girl has massive issues.

That's kinda besides the point. People seem to like her, so whatever she's got going on clearly works for some people. People not me. Characters can be well written and simply not click with everyone. Personally, I'm not one for wallflowers. Medea also has issues, but she's been as active as she can.

Olga/Rin/Artoria OT3

...actually, that sounds like it would be amazingly hilarious.

...Rin moves to the UK to join the Clock Tower with her girlfriend Baeber, they meet Olga and include her into the relationship.

A Win-Win for everyone, I say.

Edit: With so much Yuri in her live, would Rin develop a thing for Luvia? Considering how much tension there is always between them.

With any luck, Luvia will be on her way to fuyuki to join the polycule

A lot happened for Shirou and everyone around him. Saber wasn't part of any of that in a meaningful way.

Compared to any of the routes, Saber Is a complete stranger to Shirou, and potentially dangerous for his loved ones.

*take a deep breath*

The issues that could be avoided and solved if we stop pick every options that make us unable to had shirou interact with Saber and Rin and kept us away from them.. But nooo....... you guys kept vote the other things cause 'funni'(*rolls eyes*). Yes the title is what it is, but doesnt meant to ignore excalibur and try to get some potential bad ends

While the avoiding-Rin has become a Meme, I don't believe we have being avoiding her because *funny*

In those votes she had to compete with Sakura, her tragic sister and Shirou's long known Kouhai, Ayako who didn't get much spotlight in any Fate route and easily bypassed our Shirou's natural barriers, and Illya, his tragic Big Sister worthy of a Route.

And any bond we had with Rin and Saber would have died out the moment Shirou summoned Mordred. We barely can talk with her and already tried to kill Ayako who looks and acts nothing like Artoria.

And finally, both Saber and Rin have a much greater presence across the 3 canon routes compared to Sakura, let alone Illya Taiga and Ayako

And both Medea and Circe also take ALOT of Shirou's attention. And having the mystery girl that Is Ritsuka here only makes any chance to interact with Rin far less likely

I second this.

I like Rin, I really do, she's a badass and a complete mess and probably my favorite character in the Fate franchise...

But I've already seen a lot of Rin, so I'm far more curious about everybody else.
 
I want Rin involved because I want to see her and Sakura interact and have the story explore what it means for them to be sisters. There's plenty of times they share screen time in Fate but its hardly ever in that context and more of an offshoot of their relationship with Shirou and I've always felt that's a shame.

Not even best timeline Today's Menu for the Emiya Family, has Sakura and Rin interacting as siblings. The episode that focuses on Sakura has her being a sister to Shinji.

    • Buenos Noches!

    The author graduated college today and is in a great mood, so I thought it'd be nice to have an extra vote. Since the thread is going nuts over them regardless.

    Lets settle this once and for all amigos.

    Well, not once and for all, you can always interact later. But, for the next interaction, as a bonus.

    [] [Rin]

    [] [Sakura]

    Y'all know how I'm voting on this. Besides, it'd be good to follow up on Archer's advice.
