Then offer him a five minute head start from Parvati, Ishtar, Saber/Saber Alter, and Prisma Illya.
Kind of forgetting the Lancer!Artoria(s)* (IF they draw upon the Artoria Hivemind's memories), Chloe (she's the more, er, 'dangerous' of the Prisma-verse duo), potentially Jaguar Man, and much later on Sitonai, for maximum discomfort/unease factor.

* - Not counting Mysterious Heroine X, her own Alter (Ecchan), or MHXX (after several years for Rhongomyniad-derived 'upgrades' to partially kick in). They have just enough unique backstory of their own to not immediately fall for him.

To be fair, I always thought that MHX reactions to EMIYA were the ones of an adolescent being distracted by sexy and trying to blame it on the source of the distraction. In fact, a lot of MHXs actions and character trait indicate that she's actually Arturia's physical age as opposed to her actual age.

Incidently, I do ship EMIYAxMHX. ALL CAPS HEROES BELONG TOGETHER!

Edit: That includes EMIYA assassin.

I was in general agreement with you, until this.

Assassin!EMIYA and DressOfHeaven!Iri, or Forever Alone.
Generally I have a preference for that pairing too. However, mad ideas belong outside the head. For instance, instead of having multiple servants per master in a FGO fic, why not one master and one servant with steadily accumulating masters as the plot progresses. Including some that would normally be servants in the game, such as Waver, Jekyll and JAlter.
 
Barring that Muramasa!Shirou was, at this point, unsummonable and the whole snippet was not canon, I think some servants would take exception on that. The obvious ones (I think) would be Bryn and Sigurd, Sieg and Jeanne, and probably Vampire-chan and her centaur husbando.
Oh, I totally agree!

...

Tell that to Rin/Ishtar, Saber, Saber Alter, Sakura/Parvati, and Illya.

But 'aunt' Saber was really just mom #2. It's the happy end from UBW as canon here I think, as Saber was around after FSN.

Also Ishtarin and Ereshakha are just goddesses piloting Rin's body, pretty sure Rin isn't too involved there. Salter would probably hate Shirou because she's an edgy tryhard. Dunno about Parvati but likely the same deal as the other pseudo-servants and Illya is Prisma Illya unless she's Sitonai.

Yes I'm a killjoy.

Rishtar is 70% Ishtar, 30% Rin, personality wise, so considering that + Ishtar's role in mythology I think she might well go after shirou if given a chance.

Also, given that CP is highest form of canon, saber alter also likes shirou.
 
Medea is 100% God/Titan by ancestry once you hit her grandparents and that's amazing.

Her mother and paternal grandmother were siblings as well, but that's sorta par for the course in Greek mythology.
Huh, I thought it was more 75%. That 100% would make her a Nymph of the highest caliber wouldn't it?

She really deserves the Divinity Skill

I think the only reason that's glossed over in Fate is because she'd overpower the caster class in Fate Stay Night, considering she's supposed to be defeatable.

I'd like to see a Rider class version of Medea someday with her divinity stat fully present and her dragon chariot in play.

I have been saying that for years.

A Berserker or Avenger Medea would also be interesting so long as one is outside of the splash zone.

Also Assassin!Medea
This all comes back to what hypothetical variants of servants could be.
Most notably, the Warp spasm Berserker Cu Chulainn. Terrible missed opportunity there.
 
I think it's more likely that rule breaker, representing the nullification of even divine contracts, represents the moment that Medea broke off from all other divines and so threw off her own.
That's something to ask from @Kyte , he's more knowledgeable about this than me.
 
It's from her FGO Mats profile:
Medea's profile said:
The Witch of Betrayal Medea's Divinity given physical form as a magical weapon.

Edit: actually scratch that, it's way older and from the original VN itself:

Ugh, not a fan of that explanation. Especially as she should then have her divinity in her lily form. Oh well, headcanon for fixing mainline canon gaps.
It's not like it really goes against your explanation (minus "nullifies even divine contracts", which I don't think is within RB's capabilities), so what's the problem here...
In my mind Medea still has a hidden EX ranked divinity stat.
Oh, it's for wank. Okay then.

I can be petty like that. Of course, given how many servants have divinity ranks, it seems strange to me that Medea didn't have them in that format. Especially with the likes of Julius and Iskander around.

Divinity seems to rise out of the very pores of the entire setting like some form of musk whenever it exerts itself for real.

Knowing Nasu, the fact that the Divinity is concentrated in the knife is probably going to end up plot-relevant at some point.
Especially given it's something most people have forgotten or don't know:V
