11!!"Fate/Revenant Sword" provides examples of:
12
13* ActionGirl: Rin, who fills her canon role, and Saber, who is a [[HistoricalGenderFlip female version]] of King Arthur.
14* ArtifactOfDoom: The Holy Grail.
15* AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: [[spoiler:Shirou]], after making a pact with [[spoiler:the Fae]], becomes [[spoiler:Apeiron Lepida Leitoyrgei, King of the Forsaken.]]
16* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Shirou gets sent back in time because he says, "I can't stay here. I need to go back." He's telling himself aloud that he can't stay on the hill staring at where Saber disappeared because he has to go take care Illya and Rin, but Angra Mainyu chooses to interpret it as a wish to be sent back in time.
17* BigFancyHouse: Shirou has an entire traditional Japanese estate, and the Tohsaka and Matou have Western-style mansions.
18* BittersweetEnding: The beginning of the story, and then the fact that you know it's going to end the same way. [[spoiler:Or at least the Normal End and Epilogue and the True Epilogue of the Good End end this way. The Good Epilogue of the Good End [[EarnYourHappyEnding means what it says]].]]
19* BloodMagic: Rider’s method of summoning her Phantasmal Beast.
20* ByThePowerOfGrayskull / CallingYourAttacks: The Noble Phantasms used by Servants require their names to be invoked.
21* ChekhovsGun
22** Caliburn, which [[spoiler:Shirou manages to make into a real weapon, rather than just an imitation.]]
23** The books that Rin gives to Shirou at the end of chapter three are important later on.
24* CrazyPrepared: [[spoiler:Shirou's pact with the Fae]] is made to help fight Gilgamesh ON HIS LEVEL.
25* DangerousForbiddenTechnique:
26** Noble Phantasms that have to be called out to be used reveal their wielder's identity, and therefore, their strengths and weaknesses.
27** Excalibur, which takes too much mana to be used more than once.
28* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:Caliburn, and later on, [[InfinityPlusOneSword Escalvatine]].]]
29* FieldOfBlades: Unlimited Blade Works is one.
30* {{Foreshadowing}}: The books Shirou gets from Rin involve making contracts with [[spoiler:Ghost Liners, Servants, Divine Spirits, and ''Elementals''.]]
31* InfinityPlusOneSword: Gilgamesh's Ea [[spoiler:and Shirou's Escalvatine. Both of those weapons are EX-ranked Anti-World Noble Phantasms.]]
32* {{Jerkass}}: Shinji is one, as usual.
33* MagicContractRomance: Shirou has summoned Saber and in the Fate route of ''Fate/stay night'', they fall in love. Having gone through that already, Shirou is already in love with Saber and hopes to woo her into falling for him again.
34* MagicWand: The Azoth Dagger can function as one.
35* MentalWorld: Unlimited Blade Works is a reality marble--the user's inner world made manifest in reality.
36* MorningWood: Shirou on the morning of the third day, when he wakes up spooned against Saber.
37* MultipleEndings:
38** [[BittersweetEnding Normal End]]: [[spoiler:Saber and Shirou defeat Gilgamesh and Kotomine respectively and destroy the Holy Grail, but [[ButNowIMustGo Saber disappears]], leaving Shirou to live his life without her.]]
39*** [[BittersweetEnding Normal]] [[EarnYourHappyEnding Epilogue]]: [[spoiler:The Grail system is dismantled, and Ilya dies a year after the War's end. Eventually, after Shirou's death, he and Saber [[TogetherInDeath reunite in Avalon]].]]
40*** If his recent ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'' Crossover fic ''Miracle of Zero: Kingdom of the Forsaken'' is concerned as it takes place during this route, [[spoiler:sometime before the familiar summoning, Rin Tousaka [[RapeAsDrama gets raped]] by the Association and later [[KilledOffForReal gets killed right in front of]] Shirou. [[EvilFeelsGood Needless to say]] his reaction is extremely over the top and it also added into his list of greatest failures. How can he be a hero of justice if he cannot save someone close to him?]]
41** [[HappyEnding Good End]]: [[spoiler:Shirou and Saber defeat Gilgamesh and Kotomine, respectively, and Saber destroys the Grail and [[IChooseToStay ends up wishing to remain with Shirou]].]]
42*** [[HappilyEverAfter Good Epilogue]]: [[spoiler:Ilya is still alive (although [[NotGrowingUpSucks she physically remains as a young girl]]), and Shirou, Saber, Rin, Sakura, Ilya, and Taiga are all living as a family.]]
43*** [[BittersweetEnding True Epilogue]]: [[spoiler:Ilya dies three years after the War ends. The Grail system has been dismantled, but there are people who still want to begin more Grail Wars, and a number of magi, whether from the Association or not, want to either capture or kill Shirou and Saber. Things may not be easy for the pair, but at least they have each other.]]

48* ThePowerOfTheSun: [[spoiler:Escalvatine has a fragment of the Sun inside it, however that actually works.]]
49* TookALevelInBadass: Shirou, who gets good enough to [[spoiler:[[CanonDefilement beat Gilgamesh]] in a one-on-one sword fight]].
50* TranquilFury: Shirou feels this when he sees Caster holding [[spoiler:Illya and Taiga]] hostage.
51* WaveMotionSword: Three of them, as a matter of fact:
