I like your omakes of the ace/Shirou they are all awesome please continue it.
It might be funny, but I find myself approaching the 'Emiya Clan' threshold.
I'd better kill him off before that happens![]()

I don't really control what other people write in their snippets. But I try to keep Yuuno included as much as possible. I like his character, and I don't really get why he was put on a bus so much in series (ignoring meta things like how the show has now turned to pandering Yuri fanboys and such).
I mean, Yuuno is the first person that tells Shirou about Mid-Childa and its magic. He's also the only other boy in the group. My thought process is that the group is a bit more balanced gender wise, so there will be more group interaction. If Shirou has questions for stuff, he turns to Yuuno. Also, when the girls want to hang out and do girl things, Shirou and Yuuno can hang out.
And cause odd things to happen.
Yuuno coincidentally activates Lost Logias and Shirou gets them into complicated messes while saving people. They both attract women in the process.

That's a very good point on the Yuuno/Rin angle and it makes a great deal of sense. As Fraggle stated, it is far less forced. Shipping Yuuno with one of the Aces requires either a good deal of back story between the two(or more) inserted into the gap between A's and StrikerS or Post-StrikerS interaction coming from one of the Aces in a believable manner in order to make it flow decently for a serious story. The series proper isn't really a good place to go when looking for valid reasons to ship Yuuno.
Hence why the shipping I do in my stories involving Yuuno requires some stretching of the imagination and a bit of personal character interpretation. The light Hayate/Yuuno in ISA required expanding on the idea of Yuuno being used like a tissue and then tossed away. The Hayate/Yuuno/Eins in Absence requires me to not only screw canon enough to have Reinforce live through my obscure forging techniques, but also so that Yuuno's home is a valid and reasonable location for the Aces to stop by when they are too tired to make it all the way home. I'm not even sure where to begin validating the Signum/Yuuno is S&S.
Shipping Shirou with the Aces is total crack at this point, which I will readily admit to loving, and it is ultimately up to Heroslayer to decide how to deal with his romance options.
In all seriousness, Hayate may be somewhat of a long stretch for Shirou while Nanoha has the best angle thus far for a relationship with him. Harem option aside, Fate could nudge Nanoha out of the running due to her own distortions potentially overlapping with Shirou's and giving them a common ground. There is also the idea of Shirou's saving people thing developing into a romance option, assuming he saves Fate. Shirou/Saber or Shirou/Singum could be the most likely couples if only due to the fact that they are embodiments of the sword and living by the sword, which Shirou, who is a sword, could plausibly find very attractive.
Anyway, that's how I see things outside of a Snippet standpoint here.
You are not nearly close enough to the Emiya Clan threshold. Three wives and a few OC munchkins running around and who have not been manipulated into becoming GodMode hax OCs is not Emiya Clan. Its just amusing, adorable, and lets us see BigSis!Vivio.
Please keep writing your snippets as you see fit. We enjoy them greatly. =)

I don't think it's all that unfeasible. I mean come on, this is the guy responsible for the BAR, not to mention gettingI have to agree that Shirou/Aces is crack, It started with the joke that all tree liked him and that he was oblivious to their feelings, bu then I realized that Shirou isn't that stupid over here and was just avoiding them because he figured out he'd self destruct someday, especially after meeting Archer. And ofcourse the fact that if all three of the girls really liked him that t would become messy if he was forced to choose between them.King ArthurSaber to fall in love with him within the span of two weeks, a certain captain of the archery team who probably has crush on him and another Servant who definitely has a crush on him but won't act on it.
Then you have Kirei who has a man crush on anything EMIYA. >_>

Yeah, I suppose you have a point. I doubt it would end in a foursome. Though that leaves room for lots and lots of drama. Could be interesting if it's not overplayed.
*looks at Saber* Yeah, I don't think he has worries there.And Shirou's BAR might not effect people with really high magic resistance. XPj
Teenie problem with that scenario, well four problems in my perspective (pre-HGW and post-A's):
- Shirou - Distorted, thinks of others before himself, and I honestly don't think he understood human relationships before the HGW...and it's kinda messed up that one learns about relationships in the midst of a conflict.
- Fate - Where to start? Abandonment issues, inferiority complex, and clings to the slightest signs of affection...she's the abandoned last-born who knew nothing but fighting until meeting with Nanoha.
- Hayate - Desperately alone...at first. Maybe that's why she gropes so much, she's starved of physical contact.
- Nanoha - Far, far too forceful in relationships, or at least in starting them, pushes herself too hard when she has an obligation, and tends to cling on said obligations regardless of other people's advice.
They'll destroy each other the way they are...at the same time, if they get things just right, they could have a meaningful relationship, all four of them, since they seem to all mesh pretty well together, but they can just as easily slip up and destroy not only their relationship, but each other as well. I don't know if the wonderful reward would out weigh the horrific risk and consequences.

The reason why I made it a '100% completion end' was because I feared that if I played their crushes realistic then he'd see them only as childhood friends, or unwilling to choose anyone at all because of his distortion. The heartache and angst would completely derail my other snippets. I mean, at that point I had already added Vivio( as mentioned in the 'adopting vivio' snippet back then, and we were joking about their rivalry as to who got Shirou first.
Back then I actually wrote that I'd better solve the problem for Vivio's sake :P Ugh, I kinda wrote myself into a corner back then >_>
I still believe that YuunoxRin is best pairing for ferret-boy in this plot though -_-

*pat pat* There there, you still gave us some of the most wonderful (and painful) cavities around ^^;;;
This. Just this. Ferret boy deserves a sexy and open-minded assistant. What would Rin's reaction be to the Infinity Library anyways?I still believe that YuunoxRin is best pairing for ferret-boy in this plot though -_-

If you've seen Carnival Phantasm, think Caster rolling on the floor at the sight of Saber, IMO.

You posted at the same time as I, I'm justified in not knowing of your post. :P
And I dislike all those "OMG SEX ME NAO" reactions people give to characters.
