^ Someone should write about that.
I feel like Kirei might find the guy who was going to summon Assassin and off him before Caster does. Though maybe that's too much forward thinking. I don't really recall if his stealing of Lancer was something he planned for or if it was more like "lol, bazett's here? might as well take her servant then"
I think it was the latter, even if he did recommend her as a Master.
Tooling around with the idea of a mild Fate x Notes crossover
The Six Sisters dig up six heroes with king in the mountain legends behind them to help them fight back against the arriving Type monstrosities. They're the actual, flesh and blood legends and not some prana ghosts, but they're still paired with each sister as a bodyguard to keep the Fate parallels.
Major themes would be the heroes slowly coming to terms with the fact that time has passed them by, as their first battle with a Type is a total disaster and they're fighting for "humans" that barely qualify for the title anymore. That Ado Edem does most of the heavy lifting and his Knights seem just as powerful is another sore point. Made worse by the fact that the Sisters are the leaders of the A-Rays, who were just at war with the more conventional Liner breed of humanity. At the same time, pushing the idea that even a futile dream is worth fighting for and a life given in service to a higher ideal doesn't have to be such a bad thing.
It would also be a chance to see the early days of the Aristoteles invasion with things like ORT and Ado Edem in action. Of course, despite the end-war premise, it would probably be a slow-paced character examination as the assembled heroes discuss what it means to fight a losing fight, whether there's any worth in it and so on.
Very bleak sort of story overall, though with a touch of bittersweetness
Kings in the mountain I've considered include Arturia, David, Francis Drake, Ogier the Dane, Charlemagne, Avicebron (not that he has one, but there is a story about the Golem of Prague returning to life)
Kind of burnt out on straight Grail War stuff now but I still like the hero-out-of-time concept and the Land of Steel setting

I do wonder how would they reach Avalon to "dig up" her.
Or they found her graveyard if it's Lord El-Melloi Case Files timeline, extracted DNA and engaged in cloning shenanigans as expected of Type Moon nowadays.

I was thinking some Magic mumbo-jumbo about how the end times are well and truly upon mankind, so their little ritual kickstarts these six coming back earlier than the rest
Or I could just have every king in the mountain coming back to life en masse and their numbers being whittled down systematically as they try to take the fight to the Types. Think Band of Brothers but with heroes of folklore. It could have a revolving POV jumping from hero to hero as they are cut down or witness some major event in the Type war.
You know, there are so many kings in the mountains it's not funny. Carpathian Mountains oddly have unusually high number, but I guess those would be basically low tier if summoned as Servants.
There are a ton of them, which is why I had thought to cut it down to just six.
But maybe the fact that there are so many of them and they don't make that much of a difference is a sign of how bad things are. There could even be an early chapter dedicated to a Type curb stomping most of the Fianna or something. I wager Diarmuid would make it, though, if only to unwittingly guilt Saber half to death.
That only reminds me of Seika's Mass Effect crossover.
Got the idea from the most recent Prillya OVA, but would you read Magical Girl Taiga fighting drug lords and organized crime?
Linger: Complete. August, 1995. I met him. A branch off Part 3. Mikiya keeps his promise to meet Azaka, and meets again with that mysterious girl he once found in the rain.
Shinkai: Set in the Edo period. DHO-centric. As mysterious figures gather in the city, a young woman unearths the dark secrets of the Asakami family.
The Dollkeeper: A Fate side-story. The memoirs of the last tuner of the Einzberns. A record of the end of a family.
Overcount 2030: Extra x Notes. A girl with no memories is found by a nameless soldier, and wakes up to a world of war.
no

tobias pls stop hacking kirby's account
Sure.
More Taiga is always great and hardboiled gang fighting is always fun
Why would Taiga be fighting drug lords and organized crime? In Fuyuki, that's her family.
