Remember:

1 time = 1 Excaliblast

Should I write a companion piece detailing this process Irun.

And awfully well done, Pata. You hath managed to touch mine cold heart of stone. Good job, man, very good job

PS: Sorry for butchering ancient english.

[Techlet]

WAFF attack! My heart is losing...

[TheSpy]

I'll admit... I cried a little.

. . . Archer route.

[ItsaRandomUsername]

Nope.

Illya lives past the one-year mark, that's the key difference.

Here, Shirou is like a more successful "Archer", because he'll have her by his side for much longer than Archer did.

....or at the very least, their origins are different.

[Pata Hikari]

. . . Archer route.

Hahaha.

I actually thought about this.

"Hmmm could this Shirou become Archer?"

"Maybe!"

On one hand, Shirou's fulfilling his ideal. On the other hand, Illya might not let him do something so dumb as making a contract.

[deviatesfish]

So beautiful.

This is just too awesome for words. It has the right amount of humor and drama. From the title, I instinctively thought it was gonna be a somewhat serious fic, but when I read about Ilya's body breaking down, I felt my heart lurch and was worried I'd follow after Irun. I'm so glad it didn't turn out the way I thought it was going to - Ilya dying within a year. Thankfully, Pata gave us the True End for Ilya. I am so freaking overjoyed that I feel like I should build a temple in your honor Pata for this fic.

First, awesome one shot. I love it.

Second, reading this fic and remembering that Ilya is dying because of supporting Berserker before the War and because she was the Lesser Grail. Her constantly healing and ruining her body with the souls of the Heroic Spirits makes sense. It just raises one question for me:

How is it that Sakura at the end of Heaven's Feel can survive having all that energy with no apparent effects despite being human and support Rider for years to come when Ilya, Miss Magic Circuits with a body, is dying from the same thing? If Sakura can survive it, why is Ilya in such a dire situation?

Because Sakura deserves too, isn't it obvious /sarcasm

Well I was really, really hoping for an explanation that wasn't, "Plot hole!"

[TheSpy]

It's the Nasuverse what did you expect?

[deviatesfish]

Nasu probably wanted it to be tragic. Since he probably likes Ilya. So he kills her.

An explanation for the mechanics of absolutely EVERYTHING that follows internally consistent logic.

Except for plot holes.

EDIT:
