Really good job on the rewrites Faggle, they feel a lot more smooth and meaty. Looking forward to the others.
@crystalwatcher: A lemon, eh? I am ...curious.
The Art of Shipping is as profound as it is dangerous; not for the faint of heart nor the weak of will, it makes gods and devils out of us all.
Dogs and cats!
Also, papercuts. Can't forget the papercuts.
And I am more than okay with any of these permutations. Though Ayako Unisoned with Rein opens up some untouched possibilities... Combine with Signum and Shirou is... Well, he'd better make sure steel is his body and fire is his blood.

Wells said Iron...well Said (TTwTT)
Shirou is the bone of his sword.
Of course they're going to cause fire run through his veins while his body becomes steel.
Just finished rewriting chapter I, doubling the size >_> also made some progress on chapter 7 as well.
Currently waiting for Hyrule to check the grammar and tenses for any screwups.
Illya is best servant
A different version of Shirou breaking out the dream world (plus coronation)
//////
“This is a dream isn’t it?” Shirou asked as a silver haired woman faded into existence behind him and the world dimmed to a featureless void.
“Yes, it is.” The woman said as Shirou turned to her.
“I need to go back.” He looked her in the eye, his need to stop what was happening clear.
“Please, I can’t be stopped, just stay here away from the pain.” Tears appeared at the corners of her now closed eyes, only for her eyes to open as Shirou embraced her.
“It’s something I need to do. I’ll heal what has given you the title of the Book of Darkness, the Cursed Tome, I’ll give you a new name.”
“But, the defense program…”
“I will stop it, I sware it as your master. I promise you, She Who is The Blessed Wind That Supports Us All, Reinforce.” Tears flowed from the eyes to the newly named Reinforce as she returned Shirou’s embrace.
“New name: Reinforce recognized, Administrator authority granted.” Shirou smiled and began to chant.

Unlimited Blade Works
With those words echoing across the battlefield from nowhere yet everywhere; flames burst from the woman and consumed the world around them. Nanoha flinched back but was caught by them before she could do anything else. As the fire’s faded she looked around at the now changed landscape.
A field of blades stretched from horizon to horizon, thrust into the Earth like headstones. Black feathers fell like snow from on a serene winter night. A sky made of gears and nighttime clouds floated overhead. Something glowed from the corner of her eye and she turned to it, eye’s widening at the sight of Shirou standing upon a Belken array surrounded by his Knights.
We are the Guardian Knights Who Gather Before our Master, He of the Night Sky
As Long As Our Master Exists Our Souls Shall Never Extinguish
As Long As There is Life in Our bodies, We Shall Stand By One Another
We Will Always Exist Before Our Master, The King of The Night Sky, Emiya Shirou!
