Author's note: For clarification's sake, Saber Lily is the same age as OG Arturia during FSN. I called her Saber/Arturia here because… well, the OG isn't in this Chapter. This AU is about 'What if Saber Lily had been summoned by Shirou and had a crush on Archer.' Next chapter is just Part 2 concerning this writing prompt. Chapter 3 is prolly what if Jeanne d'Arc but Saber shows up instead of OG Saber.

Let me know in the reviews which Servants you guys want to see.

"Oi, Master. Wake up. Breakfast's ready."

Said by the red bowman known merely as Archer. He and Rin were in the Tohsaka residence at this time. The Holy Grail War had been won and yet Archer and the other servants did not disappear once the Grail had been destroyed. Meaning, Archer spent his time as the caretaker to this young, talented and beautiful magus.

Who irked him to no end as she struggled to get out of bed at 9 in the morning.

"Master. Wake up." Archer said as he nudged her with his finger. Resulting in a groan of annoyance as a reply.

"5 more minutes…" Drawled out Rin as she moved away from Archer's prodding hand.

"You said that an hour ago, Master. The food is going to get cold." Archer said as he moved closer towards his master. Who found herself at the far end of her own bed as she tried to avoid Archer's pokes to wake her up.

"Eeep! Stop poking my sides, Archer." Said Rin as she couldn't help but feel ticklish because of Archer's attempts to get her up.

"Then please wake up, Master. I'm tired of having to deal with your inability to get up in the morning." Archer said as he moved away from Rin and picked up the cup of tea that was resting at the lampstand beside the bed.

"You didn't have to do that, y'know. I was going to wake up eventually." Grumbled Rin as she took the cup off of her servant's hands and sipped her tea.

"Right. And by then, you'll be a starving zombie who can barely walk." Archer countered as he approached the door to Rin's room to leave.

"Oi! I can take care of myself just fine. I simply prefer waking up at noon, that's all." Rin countered. But her words meant nothing to the red bowman who knew the girl far more than she knew herself.

"I'll be waiting at the dining table with the food, Master. I'm making Italian today." Archer said. Smirking in amusement as he heard Rin's loud footsteps race about in her room. Probably getting herself ready as quickly as possible so that she wouldn't miss the food.

Why would Rin race towards the table even if she's the only person who's going to eat in her own home? Well…

"Thank you for the food!"

Said the occupants of the table. Ever since the Grail War ended, it became a regular thing for the former participants to come around here every other week just to eat a happy breakfast and just hang out once in a while. If not in the Tohsaka manor, they would eat at the Emiya residence. The arrangement came to be when Rin out of nowhere started a debate on whether or not Archer was a better cook than Shirou. The two aforementioned cooks took this as an offence to their skills as a chef. And because of it, everyone started eating together as 'judges' to see which is truly the best.

But in reality, Rin played them like a fiddle. She merely wanted to eat the best of the best the two had to offer. And she knew for a fact that competition would make the both of them perform at their peaks.

The others just tagged along because, why not? It's practically free food.

And while all of them were content to praise Archer's cooking with big toothy smiles and multiple pats to their stomach, one of them had the consistency to always compliment the red bowman's cooking out loud.

"Archer-senpai! Your food is great as always. But I believe that this is the best you've made yet!" Said a joyful Saber as she offered her bowl for seconds.

"You always say that when you come around here, Saber." Archer said with a strained smile.

"Hehehe… it's hard to lie when it's the truth you're saying. Don't you think, Archer-senpai." Saber said with a bright smile that blinded everyone in the room. Archer included.

"Well, it's nice that you think that way. But let's not go overboard with the praises. What would your master think if he's hearing all this from you?" Archer asked as he returned Saber's bowl with a lot of rice in it.

Truth be told, he didn't give a shit if what that boy - who was currently tweaking Rider's bike outside - thought. He's merely trying to deflect Saber's attention towards him because it was killing him inside to hear all the good things he's hearing from the white wearing, black bowtied, and insanity inducing servant that was Artoria Pendragon. 'Once and Future King of Camelot'.

Or should he say, 'Future King of Camelot' only? Because apparently, there wasn't a sliver of the blue armoured knight - who he had fought alongside with mind you - within the happy, borderline cutesy, and (should he dare say it?) overwhelmingly charming girl before him.

What in the world happened so that the summoning system in the shed would bring forth this beautiful lily?

"Archer-senpai?" Asked Artoria as she tilted her head in confusion. Goodness, thought the bowman, imagine the Kingly Saber doing that. Archer would get killed before that happened though.

"Yes, Saber?" Archer asked as he hid his emotions from the white dressed servant. He didn't like the sound of being called 'senpai' by Artoria. But, then again. He did try to get to her to stop. It's just that the stubbornness of a Pendragon is an insurmountable mountain that cannot be overcome.

"Why aren't you eating with us here at the table? Didn't you make this food?" She asked as she glanced at the table to see a drunken Taiga dancing around in the living room with an idiotic Lancer who had somehow got Shinji, Rin, and Sakura into joining their idiotic dance. Shirou and Rider just went into the manor with a late Illya, Sella, and Leysritt in tow and the five of them ignored the dance party and sat at the table. They all heard the white Saber's question and had their own piece to say.

"Eh, it's probably not a big deal for him, Artoria-san. A Servant like Archer doesn't need food that much because his master isn't as incompetent as yours." Sella callously said. Making the redhead who was sitting beside Saber wince in the process.

"I agree Sella. Poor you, Artoria-san. To have a terrible magus for a master." Leysritt cheekily added. Hearing this, Illya pouted in anger.

"Mou! Sella and Leysritt are not allowed to bully Onii-chan!" Illya said as she stood on top of her chair as she glared at the two maids. Her finger pointing at them accusingly as she spoke.

"Aw, thanks Illya-" Shirou said appreciatively but was stopped by the little Einsbern.

"Only I can bully Onii-chan. You two are banned." Illya exclaimed triumphantly. Causing the redhead to slouch in defeat. Artoria could only offer a hand to her master's shoulder as a means of comfort.

"The place looks lively. Don't you think, Archer?" Rider mused as she took one of the cans of beer just lying about on the table. Must be Lancer's, Archer thought.

Wait, were those her glasses at the table?

"Too lively in my opinion. I have to clean up after them when they all leave." Archer complained. He was now seated beside Rider and Artoria because he was seated at the forefront of the table. He too grabbed a can of beer.

"Well, you don't chase them off or anything. So, I assumed you enjoyed it." Medusa said as she slowly took a sip. Knowingly making direct eye contact with the bowman without her glasses on. Strange…

"I am merely following the whims of my master. I am obligated to do what she asks." Archer countered as he returned the eye contact with his own. Archer was feeling slightly hypnotised by Rider's eyes at the moment, but he didn't care. It's like a challenge to not let it get the better of him.

"He lies as he breathes." Rider said as she narrowed the distance between them. Her husky voice barely being registered as her intoxicating scent invaded his (magically attuned and sensitive) nose. He was frozen by her mystic eyes at the moment because he lost his concentration. Or maybe it was because he was just stunned by the surprising action.

"We both know you like this." Rider whispered in a needlessly seductive manner. She had her lips closer to Archer's ear as she spoke. Almost touching even.

Archer shuddered at the obvious double entendre. He then distanced himself from the purple haired gorgon and coughed loudly to get his freaking act together. Obviously flustered at what Rider was doing. It wasn't the first time she had done this to him so brazenly. He does not understand why she was doing something like this with so many people just watching like that time she dragged him around on a 'pretend-date', as well as that time when she 'playfully' bit his neck in front of a Sakura who had fainted just in time to not witness the scene after. He handily scolded her for her actions each and every time it happened. But it apparently wasn't working since she kept escalating these stunts more and more. And for what?

"Ahem. I may or may not like a gathering now and then. But, they are still rowdy and annoying to deal with." Archer calmly replied. Totally ignoring the events that just happened moments prior. Not even caring that the others on the table -as well as the people who had finished dancing and looked on towards the main show - just watched on with silent intrigue and increasing jealousy (well, for one of them anyways).

"I'm annoying? Surely, you don't think that way about me. Not after all that we've been through…" Said Rider with false indignation and a fake pout. She then smirked and leaned towards Archer. Slowly placing her left hand onto his chest and freaking him out in the process.

"Well… Maybe if you are more pleasant to be around, then I'd reconsider changing my mind about you." Archer said as he brought his right hand up to try and move the purple haired servant's hand away.

It was at this moment that he cursed the one who thought that giving him D-Rank Strength was a good idea. He could barely move her damn hand away because she was B-Rank! Damn it!

"Well, then tell me how I can be more… pleasant for you. I would do anything to make you change your mind." Rider's face was so close to Archer's that any sudden movement would make their lips connect. Shit, she wasn't even hiding anymore. She's going all in! Archer thought. Curse his E-Rank luck!

"Rider-san. I would appreciate it if you would please stop whatever you are doing. You are making Archer nervous."

Both of the mentioned servants stopped their staring contest and quickly looked towards Artoria. Her ahoge was gone, hair resplendent blonde hair darkened by a few tones, her clothes became pitch black and her lively emerald eyes turned into a deathly yellow.

And did I mention that she was holding onto a blackened Caliburn with hands shaking in fury?

"Right, my apologies. The beer had taken hold of me for a moment there." Rider unapologetically said as she moved away from the red bowman. Everyone called bullshit, but they were too entranced by the rom-com scenario that they just let it be.

"Archer. I believe that you need to eat. You have not touched your food yet." Artoria (Lily) Alter said. She was slowly turned back towards her bright and cheerful self as she spoke.

"I… don't think I'm hungry, Saber. I'll save it for later." Archer said as he offered Artoria the same shaky smile he had always given whenever he got in trouble back when he was Emiya Shirou. Some habits can't be broken, the bowman thought.

"That was not a request." demanded Artoria. Her altered side returned in full force.

"...of course." Archer said as he began chowing down on his food. And with that, everything went back to normal. The dance party started once more. Medusa had to be stopped though because Lancer, Shinji, and (unsurprisingly) Shirou couldn't get their eyes off of her. And after a few hours, everyone packed up and left because they had day jobs to do.

To be continued…

Part two preview:

"Do not provoke me, Saber. I am not the kind man you think I am. If you aren't careful, I will act on impulse. I am not afraid to hurt you"

Archer finally came to the realisation that this 'brief infatuation' Artoria has over him is going too far. He did not want to let her suffer the pain of being in a relationship with him. That boy is a way better choice for her than Archer could ever be. And it's a fact. The bowman is far too jaded, too broken, too cynical to ever let an idealistic, hopeful, and adorable fall for him. He needs to nip this fling right in the bud to save Arturia the pain.

He's cornered Arturia in her room at the Emiya residence. Alone of course. Archer's got the heart to save her from the shame of being rejected in front of everyone else. He even got her in a kabedon position to show how menacing and evil he actually was so that he can shake this 'false love' off of her psyche. The only expected outcome is that she runs away from him fully acknowledging that she doesn't actually like him in the romantic sense.

However, fate has decreed that Archer doesn't get what he wants. For the reaction he got was not expected.

"I… I'm not… against the idea of you…" Arturia bashfully turned her head towards the arm Archer slammed towards the wall. She was biting her finger in anxiety (?) while fidgeting all about. Her eyes then went from the arm towards the bowman's eyes. Looking at him expectantly and very, very strangely.

This moment is a prime example of extremities. We have the original Artoria, who in this scenario will fuck Archer up for his threatening demeanor. While Artoria Alter, the more uh, brazen version - completely opposite to Lily - would Fuck Archer dominatrix style simply because it's in her nature. If both of those two would react extremely at the moment, how would Lily react?

"I wouldn't ever do this with anyone but you…" Lily said as she brought her hands up towards Archer's chest. She was trying her best to look him straight in the eye, however she couldn't muster the courage to do so. But that didn't stop her arms snaking around his torso and resting on his back. Effectively closing the distance between their bodies.

Okay, Archer thought. I'm fucked.

"Saber, wait-" the bowman was suddenly stopped by a pair of soft lips crashing into his own.

'Take that, Rider.' Lily triumphantly thought as she resisted Archer's futile attempts of getting away.

'He's mine.' Lily thought before her vision turned black.
