Alright folks, what I got for you here is a little thing I wrote during the height of the tension on the thread.
I hope it's somewhat enjoyable for you.
EDIT:
Titled:
To feel it's warmth

[X] Summon Caladbolg and stab her through her back. Do it quickly and make it painless.
You know what you must do, you summon Caladbolg and raise your blade behind your lovers back.
You know thousands will die if you don't, but as you brace your arms for the thrust you freeze.
You can't do it, not to her.
You shake and fall to your knees as your sword clatters to the ground, the horror of your actions now clear to you.
"What was I about to do?"
You were the only thing Brie had ever loved, you were there from the start the first memories she had were of you. To her you were the only thing that mattered, she was willing to let the world burn if it meant she could be with you.
And you were about to stab her in the back.
You can't do that, not after all you've been through.
Ruler looks quizzically at you. "Rider are you ok?"
Brie puts forward her hand for you to take. "C'mon Rider, it's time."
No, you've made your choice. You can't kill Brie but maybe you can still save the city "Ruler, Bries isn't going to save the city." Rulers eyes lock on Brie.
"Eh? What are you talking about Rider, there's nothing left but to make the wish to save the city right?" Brie shuffles awkwardly under the saint's gaze.
You shake your head. "No, Brie the least we can do is be honest at the end."
Brie grabs you by your shoulders. "What's this change of heart? Since when did you care about virtue?"
"I can't let you do this, I won't let you become like me." her eyes go over the sword next to your hands.
"Ri-der?"
Ruler nods solemnly cutting Brie off. "There's nothing for it then, Brie before you make your wish I have a request for you. I'm asking not as the supervisor of this grail war, but as your friend."
Ruler plants her flag in-between Brie and the grail.
"I know what I'm asking you is unfair but please, don't let a city burn."
Brie's eyes warily scan the room as she takes a few paces back.
Ruler holds her gaze steady on her as she squirms.
"Please do not make me repeat myself, in spite of my position I care for you both, this isn't easy for me either."
Brie starts shaking "I can't lose her..."
She turns to you a wide-eyed look of betrayal on her face, with tears in her eyes.
"Rider?" her gaze asks the question why?
"I'm sorry." you can't hold it in anymore and begin to cry. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I don't want you to become like me."
You can't look her in the eyes as you try and curl up in a ball.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
You feel a flick on your forehead
"Oww!"
"You stupid queen, why'd you go and do something like that." Brie crosses her arms pouting and turns away from you. "Hmph, I guess it was all a lie then, I was such a fool for believing that you could love me."
You hold your forehead confused. "W-what?"
"You go out late every night and don't come home until early, hours of the morning, who knows what you get up to." she spins and places her finger on your nose a mischievous smile on her face. "Who." she tapes your nose. "knows."
You blink once, twice.
"I thought you'd be angry?"
She nods, "oh, yes I am, livid. And hurt too, How could you betray me at the last moment like that? You're going to have to be punished for this, maybe something to do with cheese."
Your blood runs cold as the image of Brie chasing you with cheese covered lips enters your mind.
"Y-you wouldn't." a nervous smile plays across your face.
She tackles you in a hug, crushing your ribs. "Of, course I wouldn't you dummy. But I've told you before, I know who you are and I still love you."
"B-Brie, Please you're hurting me."
She lets go and smiles at you.
"Why'd you have to go and do something stupid like telling everyone eh? Trying to be a hero isn't like you."
You try to wipe the tears from your face. "I-I co-" The tears keep falling.
She cuts you off with a quick kiss to the cheek. "I told you, I love you in spite of your flaws, there's no need for you to change yourself for me." she turns back to Ruler.
"I'm sorry Jeanne but I'm not ready to give up on my wish."
A voice comes from the entrance.
"Trace on."
You turn to see Emiya standing in the entrance. "It's ok Medb, I didn't think you'd be able to stop her." He raises two blades one black, one white. "And I'm sorry Brie, I can't let the city burn. You're going to have to give up on your wish this time, maybe in another grail war-"
"NO!" Brie yells before taking a breath and calming down "I won this war, I won't have you take her from me."
The flutter of Rulers flag draws your attention as well. "I'm sorry Brie, it's not fair that you have to give it up but it has to be done." it's pointed at Brie who backs further away form the saint.
Brie raises her hand. "Rider I command you to protect me until I can make my wish!" a flash of red light illuminates the area as Brie dashes towards the grail.
Caladbolg appears in one hand, riding crop in the other as your body is already moving to support her. As you pass a row of pews you smash them the wreckage blocking Emiya's line of sight.
As Caladbolg crosses with Rulers flag you look her in the eyes. "I'm sorry Ruler."
She stares into you, eyes soft. "It's ok, you tried."
Bries scrabbles the last few feet towards the grail as you smack Emiya with your riding crop forcing him back.
"Rider let me through!"
Tears begin to fall to the floor around you.
"I can't I'm not betraying her again!"
You Grab Ruler and try to throw her into Emiya, but only succeed in falling to the floor yourself.
"Kyaa."
Emiya's gets caught on the tangle of bodies as he tries to get passed. "No." He attempts to reach out to Brie who has made it back to the grail.
"Holy grail! Give Rider a corporeal body, let her be alive again!"
Golden light fills the room and your vision is obscured as you lose consciousness.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You awake to a soft sensation under your head as you open your eyes.
"Wake up sleepy head."
You stare up into orange eyes as a hand runs through your hair.
"What happened?"
"We won, silly."
You blink. "What? where's Jeanne, Emiya?-"
Brie strokes your hair again a content smile on her face. "Jeanne faded with the grail and Mr Emiya Said something about having to go save the city and ran off to try and stop the magus association."
Brie leans down towards you. "But I tho-"
She cuts you off with a kiss, before leaning back. "Don't worry about it now, we'll find Scáthach later. She can help us get out of the city, right now I'm just glad I have you."
You smile as tears well up in your eyes, you reach out and grab her hand.
"And I'm glad I have you."
You close your eyes with a smile.
Whatever challenges there are in front of you, you're confident you'll overcome them together.
