What if _________ was _________'s servant?

[asterism42]

Why was there no lancer route again?

Because ew gay germs

[Andaeus]

Having Cu as Shirou's servant would be more likely to awaken Shirou's latent Bi side. But seriously, they're both loyal and protective to a fault, Shirou would have a male role model for the first time in years. Also that means that means the fight between lancer and archer would have more impact considering Cu's brotherly (or mana) bond with Shirou...

Why was there no lancer route again?

Yeah, they'd have a great dynamic. I would love to see a story where Shirou summons Cu. Or even steals his contract from Kotomine, somehow.

And if 'gay germs' are really such an issue, you could always go with female Shirou instead.

[GhostDIGIT]

Oh dear god, no.

Back on the matter at hand, what if Fiore summoned Cu?

[You]

Now you mention it I wonder if it's possible to get Herc from that poisoned arrowhead?

Because Issei is the only man for Shirou you hussy :V

On topic, what if Sakura ended up with one of the sweet and devilish Servants, like Bubble Bathory, Tamamo or Prelati/Medb/Semiramis? Or Medusa's horrible sisters?

Tamamo seems the strongest hook, since she kind of follows that dark waifu lineage that started with Fujinon and went through Kohaku to get to Sakura in the first place.

Several people are linked to the Hydra-poisoned arrows (Herc included), so probably.

[Siriel]

Okay, I think I've got a good one for you guys:

What if Hazama from BlazBlue was Kirei Kotomine's Servant?

It's been suggested often.

And the biggest problem is that Hazama was made entertaining (and had his behavior enabled) by the environment he was in during CT and CS. By himself outside of that contest the fact that he's a completely one-note character would quickly make him either boring or annoying.

Tamamo would actually be a good fit personality wise, Sakura may actually get some much needed Self Confidence out of it.

It would also lead to the hilarity of Tamamo vs Shirou as she tries to out-waifu him and win Sakura's heart (Shirou has no idea).

[Bird of Hermes]

That could happen, or Tamamo could just tell Sakura that Shirou is prime husband material and she is very lucky.

But what if Shirou summoned Mordred?

But what if Shirou summoned Mordred?

I believe this was discussed before and people agreed Mordred would likely kill Shirou on the spot. Don't know enough about Mordred's character to say whether this is accurate or not, though.

On a slightly related note (probably asked this before, but whatever), what if Shirou Emiya summoned Ryuko Matoi from Kill La Kill?

[Siriel]

.

It is easy to deal with Mordred:
Do not insult the King.
Do not praise the King.
Do not treat her as a girl.
Do not overtly treat her as a boy.
Do not be too formal.
Do not express too much interest in other Servants.
Do listen to her opinions.
Even a fool can do it!

[Walnut Sparks]

Is she likely to give him a warning, or just detach his head automatically?

[Walnut Sparks]

I suspect if his protag modifiers are functioning, he'd have a better chance of surviving if she tried to kill him right away.

[Andaeus]

Which means it's true, since he would treat her as a girl

Is she likely to give him a warning, or just detach his head automatically?

She gave Kairi a warning first, so I imagine Shirou would get one as well. And it's not like he goes around demanding every female character in the series act more girlish, it's really just Arturia. And that has more to do with the fact that she's clearly suffering from something ​to Shirou's mind, and he doesn't really know how else to deal with it. Mordred might not be "girly," but she's definitely lively in a way Arturia was not. I don't think he'd have much trouble dealing with her, at least in that respect.

I think a bigger issue would be that he's a lousy magus and can't supply much prana. I don't think Mordred is necessarily above killing him if she thinks she can net a better Master, say Rin for example. Then again, maybe not. I've only been able to read some of Apocryhpa.

Mordred's surprisingly chill in Apocrypha. Makes me wonder why she's suddenly such a brat in FGO.

[asterism42]

It's cuz Papa Kairi isn't around to keep an eye on her.

[You]

Cos she's showing off.

She'll kill him when he says "but you're a girl" and she tells him not to say it again and then he says "but you're a girl" right after.
