Welcome, readers. This is my first Fate fanfiction and my second one in general, so I don't think it's very good, but as long as it entertains I'm happy.
This will be a multi-crossover, in the sense I'll be getting Servants from other series. I've read a couple of those before but they're mostly one-shot collections, so I wanted to expand the idea. Also, this will be a comedy, this chapter isn't much of it, but I'll try the next to more lighthearted.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Fate neither any of the other represented series.
Chapter 1: In which the harem is introduced
Shirou Emiya wanted to be a hero. He certainly helped people every day, to the point of obsession. He has been scolded and told that would lead to self-destruction, but in the end, he didn't care, he will fulfil his promise to the man that saved and raised him.
That's why he will participate in the Holy Grail War.
Not long after Kiritsugu's death, he found some records on his workshop about said ritual; the summoning, the Servants, the Command Seals and even more. Shirou was interested, why Kiritsugu had these? He had no idea, but didn't care about it for the moment. However, he dismissed it shortly after reading it only occurs every 60 years and the last one took place a decade ago.
Then days ago what he identified as Command Seals appeared on his right hand and is currently in front of his summoning circle.
He thought it was strange, but quickly got to prepare for the War. It wasn't hard to put two and two and connect the previous war to the fire. Though he was below a second rate magus, he still would make sure there were no casualties, not again.
Rin Tohsaka looked at her clock. Perfect.
As much as she hated to admit it, she was glad Kirei called to pressure her to summon a Servant, which reminded her of adjusting every backward clock of her house to not miss the perfect time to do the ritual.
Not that she would tell him, mind you, he'd gladly rub that on her face constantly and the guy was already a pain in the ass.
While she didn't have a catalyst (well, there was one in her father's old workshop, but what kind of pathetic hero would a snake skin bring?), she was sure to draw the best card now that her mana was at its peak, maybe even summon a Saber!
And, oh, how much she desired to crush a twin-drilled blond.
Speaking of that, Luviagelita Edelfelt was quite proud of herself at the moment. Not only she has poured enough jewels for her to take out an army into the summoning circle for some extra power, but she did also have the perfect catalyst. It was a simple wooden staff, however, it belonged to a very powerful being, a force of nature, if you were curious.
The last time her family involved in the War, they were humiliated, even if they had Saber at their side! And in the last War? They weren't chosen to participate! (Though seeing the final result, she couldn't decide if that was good or not).
Well, not this time!
She also grinned, thinking about the face a certain twin-tail dark haired would make at seeing her Servant.
Sakura was annoyed, Zouken and Shinji didn't like it when she was annoyed.
Zouken regretted adopting the younger Tohsaka. While she had good affinity with the Makiri magic and thus provided an heir, his experiments on her… didn't provide good results.
The day he tried to turn her into a lesser Grail she snapped, failing his goal and getting most of his worms killed. He sometimes, very rare sometimes, tried to make her obey him. The results weren't pretty. He seriously was beginning to wonder if he was a masochist.
He even once tried to persuade Shinji to abuse her in hopes she would break. What was his response? "Hell no! I'm not suicidal" and for the first time ever, he could understand his grandson.
How he convinced her to summon a Servant? He forgot and maybe that was for the better.
Illyasviel von Einzbern made a creepy smile that would make the Cheshire Cat jealous.
She couldn't wait to go and kill that damn Shirou Emiya. A shame Kiritsugu was dead, she would enjoy seeing his face of terror at that replacement of herself being murdered in front of him before being next.
Old Man Acht wanted her to wait, to be completely prepared to summon a Servant of the likes of Heracles and control it on its entirety. But 10 years are already too much waiting. She fled early, it was hard to escape the tight security of the Einzbern manor, but somehow she achieved it along her maids Liz and Sella and arrived at Fuyuki.
Didn't matter to her anyway. With all the rage she has accumulated those years, she does expect to summon a Berserker. Whatever as long as Shirou got killed by her hands.
Bazett Fraga McRemitz always exposed a bit of a cold exterior, but right now, inside she was actually quite nervous.
The last War was insane, the Magus Killer was a Master for crying out loud! The large amount of collateral damage left by the Servants and that magic was on the verge of being exposed countless times, coupled with the disastrous results, it was in due time that the Mage Association would take cards on the matter.
And who else would be more qualified to be sent than one their best Enforcers who also happens to be one of the few living people with a Noble Phantasm?
Bazett tends to do most work alone, it's no secret that she's socially awkward to an extent, but now not only would she have a partner, it was going to be a legendary hero!
Whoever it was going to be, however, she had her priorities clear, she had a reputation to maintain after all.
'Please be Cú Chulainn, please be Cú Chulainn, PLEASE BE CÚ CHULAINN!'
Well, most of them.
Nope. Negative. Absolutely not. There was no way she would participate in that carnage; she couldn't dare herself to kill a pigeon, why would she do that to people?!
She looked at herself in the mirror again… the Command Seals were still there.
A cruel joke, yeah, that's it, somehow Zelretch decided to pull a prank on her and put some false Command Seals on her body… right? … Okay, it was panic time.
There were so many terms Ayaka Sajyou could describe herself as, none positive, but suicidal wasn't one of them. Participating in the War for which her sister went insane for not being selected and so in madness killed her father and herself? She'd rather face Miss Blue.
Going into her workshop, she looked at the circle her sister left. It was intact. A painful reminder of not involving herself in that slaughter. Maybe if she didn't summon a Servant she wouldn't be needed, right?
Then the author decided to be a dick and the circle began to glow.
Elsewhere outside of time and space, Angra Mainyu AKA All The World's Evil AKA The consciousness behind the Grail saw the summonings and metaphorically grinned. Two of the Masters being the children of Kiritsugu Emiya, this would be a fine opportunity to-
No, just sending Servants that would kill them on the spot would not be fun, not to mention he's probably gonna need the Einzbern to manifest into the world, he wanted chaos… wait, that's it! There were so many forms of chaos and he has yet to try this one.
The Tohsaka girl wants a Saber, the Einzbern a Berserker and the McRemitz a hero? Well, he'd gladly give them what they want. Good thing he didn't have to choice for the Edelfelt, the girl's catalyst would already give her an annoying brat, even he couldn't stand how much she ranted and complained on humans every 5 seconds.
Sending to the Emiya a villain or his future self would be entertaining, but from what he has read on the records of the life of Counter-Guardian EMIYA, specifically on his… "Experience with women" causing chaos to the pheromones of the kid sound neat.
"Now, to whom shall I send the pig?"
Besides who the Servants will be, I don't really have anything planned, I'm not even sure if I'm gonna make Bazett part of the harem, so expect me to make stuff as it goes on. Also sorry if my interpretation is kinda OOC. And English isn't my native language either, so sorry for grammatical and narrative mistakes.
By the way, I gave some clues to Luvia's Servant, try to guess who is it!
See ya next time!
