I'm fine with a Taiga route, i think pursuing her would be fun. It's just that we're currently entangled with 4 other girls.
I know, Fate as a franchise has the goal of 'date anything with boobs,' but there comes a point where too many girls ruin the girls sleepover.
And Shirou is currently the guy friend that got invited, and is being used to smack people like a stick

Don't be. It just happens there are so many great Fate characters, including underused ones like Taiga and Ayako
And hey, just because it Will be complicated doesn't mean it cannot be enjoyable. Specially since we just the want the girls around Shirou to be happy with them, because he makes then happier

I mean, it's truly difficult to get more with each of the girls with...everything going on, including being kidnapped and almost being killed
But even if it's not seen much in the actual chapters, it's clear most of us want for Shirou and Taiga's relationship to change to something more intimate.
Pretty much the same applies to Sakura, Ayako, Medea and Circe.
And hey, if getting Taiga to be in love with Shirou means taking away the Legendary Illya router...I would be okay with that. This Illya feels she would already be happy just being Shirou's Sister (sometimes the younger, others the older)

It's hard to be any type of mad about it, because the problem is that the characters are well realized and interesting. There's just a lot of them, and far as I can tell for the plot to work, they need to be around. So there's a lot of them.
Like, I'm sad that we have to pick and choose between everyone, because words are not free and do take time to be written.
Fact of the matter is I would be interested in adding Taiga to Shirou's relationship spaghetti, but that takes away time from Medea and Ayako, my personal favorites, while Taiga would only get whatever could be sliced off their portions of the relationship pie. I don't think there'd be enough left for a satisfying Taiga romance on top of all the other romance, and doing the Ayako/Ruby thing, and Circe and Medea's deal, and Sakura's issues, and the mess that is Rin/Saber/BB, and Illya and Rider, and the actual cluster fuck that is the plot which only grows more terrifying as time goes on.
All these things are interesting, but they all take time away from each other. That you still manage to keep me interested in all of it speaks highly of your writing skill.

Feel proud of yourself, Erien
You started with the mythical Medea route, which has been done a few times in the past, and expande to something more complex, unique and charming

If you believe it I added Medea to the first vote 15 minutes before posting the story. Just thought it was right.
I guess one could say that last second decision and the results of the vote were Fate.

Ophelia Phamrsolone was a Magus. But only one as of recently. She was, in truth, a newly graduated student. Barely considered an adult in the world of mysteries. Ophelia Phamrsolone was broken, a damaged person. Traumatized by youth and the world around her, her only solace being her own abilities, even forced upon her as they were. Ophelia Phamrsolone was wise, she did not accept gifts of power offered with no apparent cost.
Ophelia Phamrsolone…
Ophelia Phamrsolone was running.
The Clocktower was gone, ruined now, a shell of its former shelf. The Magus were gone now, barring a select few. And Ophelia didn't know where they had gone, the shadows were deeper now, the light had fled from the Clocktower, and things lurked within them. It had started simple enough, Lord Marisbury had summoned a servant. Oberon. Such a thing was unusual, a grand display of power for… Frankly, Ophelia didn't even know. But then things began to change. The servant was friendly, everyone adored him and fought for his attention, and he was gracious for it. He helped, he taught, and he gave gifts.
Then Lord Marisbury disappeared.
It had been a sudden thing, one moment he was there, then he simply… wasn't. But nobody seemed to notice or care. Not Lady Reines, who had latched herself to the side of Oberon and hardly even seemed to leave it. Nor Luvia, who hardly seemed even alive.
Ophelia ran, sprinting past a man in a suit. He was whimpering, crying on the floor, he was drawing a symbol onto the wall in chalk. A star with a flaming eye in the center. There were seven hundred of them.
She saw Kadoc, standing stock still in another hallway, staring at a wall with a crazed expression on his face. He wasn't blinking, he was barely breathing. Then she heard it, a roar so mighty it shook the foundations of the building itself, and she was running ever harder. A shadow was chasing her now, clawing and fast. It bounced from the walls and snuffed out every light it passed. She skidded around a corner, her legs pumping. She was the only one left, there had been others, other masters, others told to summon servants. And they had been corrupted, changed.
There were eight masters now in the Clocktower, and she was but one of them. And she was the only one left who still had her mind. Laughter surrounded her, and she passed a room filled with flaming priests, representatives of the church, screaming as they were burned alive. The shadows were closing now, crushing, all encompassing. The light was fading, and Ophelia Phamrsolone lept. The window broke around her, and at once she was out of the darkness and into the light.
"Now!" she screamed.
A steed of brilliant white appeared underneath her, and atop it was a rider bedecked in brilliant silver plate. She landed atop the saddle, and the howl of the beast of shadows sounded behind them, confined to the tower. The horse landed onto the rooftops, then continued, leaping from place to place as they darted above London."
The knight looked back. "Where next my master?"
"The airport, we need to get to Fuyuki… we need to get ahold of the grail before Oberon can."
"So very headstrong," the knight says smiling. "You remind me of Jimena, little master."
Ophelia glares.
The knight laughs. "It shall be done."
Then they were off, and the tower howled behind them.

Regarding the Taiga Vote, it's called, and I'll probably do it in an omake to not crowd the quest. We're entering the final arc shortly, don't worry, still a good bit to go in any case.
If we manage to get Rin and Salter back on our side, Salter won't be happy with someone fucking up her kingdom besides her.
