Nah, the writing is ok. And mind you, Keitaro had already chosen long ago. But Shirou, placed in a harem-like situation, shall be indecisive. That's what I dislike - indecisiveness. Your story leans toward Shirou x Sakura the most, so shouldn't it stay that way?
Less indescisive, more like dense as hell
I'd set up a poll, but setting a poll is like begging for a Saber end.
This fic does have multiple endings. It has one Bad End, one Normal End, and the Endgame endings, which is Harem End by default but I might add an ending for each girl after the fic's done.
Well, actually, on here it's probably begging for a Rin end, or even an Ilya end.
But, yeah, I wouldn't advise setting up a poll, because there are few enough stories which have "unpopular" pairings (which, annoyingly, includes Sakura x Shirou, even though it's canon) without you choosing the most popular pairing as well.
Well, more to the point, it's pretty much certain to end with the most popular pairing rather than his favourite pairing or the one which makes most sense from a story-telling perspective. And, honestly, there are enough stories like that without him making more of them.

The power of the BAR sets the Harem End as a default end. Without choices there will bo no other end, even a bad one.
Simple:
Erl just writes them cold-turkey, choices are not required.
Granted, MVS's canon will need to be shifted around slightly, but it's not undoable. In fact, this way you aren't limited to "One Story/One End", whatever it may be.
EDIT: SNIPED
At any rate, I do like the idea of multiple endings, which is something I plan to implement into my own works.
My Fanfics. Read 'em. Or not.McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.
That... makes little sense. I'd rather know where I'm heading and choose my actions.
Ufufufufu, you would, wouldn't you~
It's so fun to toy with readers sometimes.

Hmm, consider the following: your fic was UBWish 75% of the time with mentions of Fate and HF here and there, and suddenly you have an ending with Taiga, which practically mutilates all the development you made your protags undergo. Your readers go "wtf is this shit?" and you go "trawl acumplsht". Was that your goal all along?
Edit: And about multiple endings, I don't mind if they are the endings of different people, like Shirou's end, Archer's end, Rin's end, Sakura's end, Saber's end, or pairings' end: Shirou/Saber end, Rin/Archer end, Shirou/Sakura end, etc.
Okay, I'll give you the damn choices when it's time. Wimp. And no... I'll try not to make endings ass-pulls.
