It's the fanfic chew toy of the Beast's Lair forums for a reason.

Read if you like Sekirei; avoid if you like Rin and/or Saber
This is a definite YMMV, considering the most recent chapters. As many FSN fans have pointed out in the reviews and fic forum, there are serious flaws in Rin's and Saber's character portrayals.
Along that note, if you are a fan of the Sunny Day end and/or the Shirou/Rin/Saber ship (anyone? no? just me?), I would avoid this like the plague despite it ostensibly starting off from both (for... no clearly discernable reason other than making Shirou into a comfortable-with-polyamory Counter Guardian EMIYA Lite borderline Stu). It basically takes a huge dump on everything good about that ending and that ship and tries to write it off as taking the intellectual high ground about "harem deconstruction" by ruining the relationship Shirou's actually fucking worked on while leaving his convenient-stand-in-for-therapy psychic alien harem that he picked up by accident intact. Um, how the fuck is that deconstructing anything about harems aside from the "people integrating seamlessly" thing?
But I mean, if you like having in the same chapter a heartbreaking clearly-meant-to-be-permanent breakup scene AND rebound sex during which the protagonist is thinking about how happy he is with his new relationships, and this doesn't strike you as horrible whiplash and totally OOC, go for it.
