History Fanfic / FateZeroAvengerOfSwords

The plot of the story is driven by Shirou, instead of dying at the end of the Heaven's Feel route, becoming a Counter Guardian of Alaya [[NotSoDifferent like Archer/EMIYA]], and through his presence aims to [[ForWantOfANail change things that went wrong.]] With [[{{Determinator}} Kariya]] as his Master, he will influence many events in the future.

* AdaptedOut: Lancelot and the Berserker Class, since Kariya summons SHIROU to the Avenger class.
* AxCrazy: Caster as usual.

* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler: Touko and Daisuke]] show up in Chapter 4, showing [[AlternateUniverse how some things are different.]]

* MythologyGag: [[spoiler: Miyu is Shirou's sister]], and Avenger uses some of EMIYA's preferred tactics, such as Hrunting from VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Shirou and Rider hand these out to Gilgamesh and Kayneth respectively.

* WarriorTherapist: Shirou tries to be this to Kariya in order to ease his Master's rage and unhealthy psychological condition.

The author has [[WordOfGod said that he aims to change things]] from what happened in LightNovel/FateZero, such as how the Servants died and character development for what he considers neglected characters.

-> ''[[HeroicSacrifice On his last breath]], Shirou destroyed the [[EldritchAbomination Greater Grail, along with Angra Mainyu.]] He had been expecting to die quietly, [[YouCantFightFate not to somehow become employed to Alaya.]] Though he had been human, he was a Heroic Spirit, and as Avenger of the [[LightNovel/FateZero Fourth Holy Grail War]], he would do his best to win, and [[ScrewDestiny save those people who had shaped him from his birth in the fire.]] [[{{Determinator}} The Avenger]] would save them.''

As of October 5, 2016; the story has now been officially cancelled. The author then revealed that he's going to reboot the entire thing into another fanfic called ''Fate Liner: Red Knight'', using characters and elements from ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'' and ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'' as a basis.

* {{Badass}}: Shirou/Avenger as per the usual, but some credit has to go to Gilgamesh [[WorldsStrongestMan (the canon strongest Servant)]] during the battle at the docks. Granted this is the Nasuverse, so its pretty much [[WorldOfBadass a world of badasses.]]

* ImplausibleFencingPowers: As per canon, Shirou gains the combat experience of the owners of the weapons he's copying. However, he's still not as good as the originals, forcing him to take several hits during his fight against Archer.

It is written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/5545105/ForteOfTheBallad98 [=ForteOfTheBallad98=]]], who considers this his [[MagnumOpus greatest work so far.]]

** Caduceus: Normally an A-Rank Noble Phantasm worthy of Hermes ,it has been downgraded to a mere C+ due to Shirou's need to trace it quickly to stabilize Kariya's condition. With its legend warped by confusion with the Rod of Aesculapius (blame the Red Cross), it's capable of healing wounds and eliminating illnesses, but it takes time as a result of the transience of the copy.
