Holy Grail War AU Meme.
The HOLY GRAIL WAR Meme
Seven Masters, magi of the present day. Seven Servants, heroes of days past. One Holy Grail, granting whomever claims it a wish. Only one team of Master and Servant may claim it. Who will it be?
For those unfamiliar with Fate/stay night or Fate/Zero, you can find a better explanation of the Holy Grail War here. (Note: The Holy Grail War in Fate/EXTRA functions in a dramatically different way, and one not followed for purposes of this meme.)
Instructions
1. Comment with your character. In the subject line, put that character's name, canon, and which role (Master, Servant, or either) you would like them to fulfill. Add other preferences if you would like. (NOTE: If your character can fill the role of Servant, I suggest you state which class(es) -- Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, or Berserker -- they fall into.)
2. Reply to others' comments. Pick your character's role (and the other character's if they list "Either" as their preference), then use the RNG to pick a scenario that fits the two characters' roles.
3. Enjoy! Though there might be triggers, depending on how the prompts are interpreted.
1. Battle. Who says that Servants get to have all the fun? After all, most Masters try to kill each other, too. Whatever the circumstances, the two of you are locked in a fight. Neither of you are willing to use your Command Spells just yet, so no Servants here. Just two magi duking it out.
2. Alliance. There's a bigger threat out there. Either one Servant is exceptionally powerful, or the situation has changed and the participants need to take action aginst it. One way or another, you're teamed up with one of your rivals for the Holy Grail. How long will this last before you try to stab each other in the back? Or, will something more develop?
3. Protection. Uh-oh! One of you has lost your Servant! Unfortunately, there's no way you'd get to the church safely on your own, so the other one will help you get there! Or maybe you don't trust the priest presiding over the Holy Grail War and are giving shelter to them yourself? Given their track record, no one would blame you.
4. Death. One or both of you lay dying. It might have been by the other's hand, or by someone else's entirely. How will you spend your last moments in the presence of one of your rivals?
5. You, Too? Surprise! You may have been friends before, but you've just discovered that you're both Masters! How will you handle this revelation?
6. Wild Card. Roll again, pick one of the previous options, or make one up!
1. Are You My Master? The summoning is complete. Whether intentional or not, catalyst or not, a magus has summoned a Servant. What kind of meeting was it? Was everything totally under control, or did a hitch occur? Or maybe it happened in the middle of a life-or-death situation!
2. Identity. Either the Servant has flat out told the Master their identity, or they unleashed their Noble Phantasm. Either way, the cat is out of the bag. How will the Master react, now that they know their Servant's name and legend? Will anything change between the two?
3. Battle Aftermath. A battle has just ended. Who participated? Are either of you hurt? Did the Master have to use a Command Spell? Any number of things could have happened here.
4. Discord. Uh-oh. It looks like the Master and the Servant don't get along. Here come the arguments! Don't do something stupid, like waste a Command Spell over a triviality...
5. Love. And then, there's the opposite. Sometimes Masters and Servants fall in love with each other. How will this affect things?
6. Wild Card. Roll again, pick one of the previous options, or make one up!
1. Battle. This is what usually happens when two Servants meet -- they duke it out. This probably says enough as it is.
2. Alliance. There's a bigger threat out there. Either one Servant is exceptionally powerful, or the situation has changed and the participants need to take action aginst it. One way or another, you're teamed up with one of your rivals for the Holy Grail. How long will this last before you try to stab each other in the back? Or, will something more develop?
3. The Grail Dialogues. Maybe you're not interested in fighting just yet. Maybe you just want to sit down and talk with the other Servant. Find out what they want, what makes them tick. Get some wine while you're at it -- nothing like good wine to go with good talk!
4. Death. One or both of you lay dying...again. It might have been by the other's hand, or by someone else's entirely. How will you spend your last moments in this War in the presence of one of your rivals?
5. Identity. Congratulations, you've just learned each other's identities! Will this change the situation, or will you press onward?
6. Wild Card. Roll again, pick one of the previous options, or make one up!

Would you have done the same thing if you were in my shoes? I know you: how far you've gone to find the truth without consequence.
[She paused for a moment.]
You'll never be my servant. I told you that before the mask was off. And I mean it.
no subject
...yes, I would have done the same.
[After a moment, though, he shook his head.]
If you will not consider me a servant, then remember at least what you are involved in, and continue to call me Saber. It would not take much for any of your opponents to come to the right conclusion, and target my present self instead of me.
no subject
[You're such an idiot. Both of you; present and future. Whoever ends up with you must have their hands full.]
I will keep that in mind then. Just as long as I can call you by your name when there's no fighting.
[Now how will the rest of the team find out about this?]

Would it be wrong to do it?]no subject
I will tell you this. I never stopped loving you.

There was no way she imagined him saying that, was there? Does he care for her in that way? To be honest, Yukiko thought he liked Rise or Naoto because they seemed to be the kind of girls he would go for. But that confession just now floored her.]
Yu-kun...!
[She went completely red in the face. No way this was a dream!]
no subject
Oh, I didn't tell you yet?
[Well, maybe he knew that. Maybe.]
no subject
[Call Yukiko a romantic but she didn't expect to hear a love confession from the future version of the boy she had strong feelings for! Oh boy, the redness in her face just went darker now.]
I...I....
no subject
Don't tell me. I already know. Tell it to the person that matters.
no subject
Damn troll.]Now I'm more nervous.
[Can she stay forever attached to your waist future bowlcut?]
no subject
[He smiled faintly, leaning over to press a soft kiss to her forehead.]
I promise you, I will take it well.
no subject
Thanks. For believing in me.
[She does have her cellphone on her. She should call him and ask to meet up with him.]
