[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6372400/1/Chaos_Theory Chaos Theory] is a [[Fanfic]] in the [[Fate/stay night]] branch of the Nasuverse. Posted on Fanfiction.Net by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/31351/Moczo the Moczo siblings] - who wrote ''[[Manchester Lost]]'', ''[[Uninvited Guests]]'' and ''[[Infinity (fanfic)|Infinity]]'' - it is a [[For Want of a Nail]] fanfic which deals with the ripple effect of how one seemingly insignificant choice can rewrite the fates of multiple individuals.
 
In this story, the change comes when Shirou Emiya first meets Ilyasviel von Einzbern, who in [[Canon]] delivers her warning to him about summoning a Servant before departing. Here, however:
 
{{quote|''Shirou stopped, and watched the girl stroll past. She… something about her just said 'do not follow me' to his mind. Like he was risking his life by approaching her. But…''}}
 
{{quote|''Sometimes, it's the tiniest little things that can change the world.''}}
 
{{quote|''Shirou sprinted after the departing girl, shouting, "Wait, wait up a second!"''}}
 
{{quote|''The girl, her eyes wide with more shock than should probably have been in them, turned to face him. "Um... huh?" She said, eloquently.''}}
 
{{quote|''Shirou knelt down so that he could look her in the eyes, and put on his warmest smile. Her clothes looked very well made, so best to assume she had money and behave with proper respect; though really, he would have anyway. Even if she wasn't actually upper-class, it was the rare little girl who wouldn't get a small thrill out of being talked to like she was a Lady. "Hello, ojou-chan. Are you all alone?"''}}
 
Having believed Shirou to be - like [[Disappeared Dad|Kiritsugu]] [[Daddy Had a Good Reason For Abandoning You|Emiya]] - a heartless person, this act of kindness throws Ilya off her game. In addition to that, the effects of this meeting - though small at first - steadily propel the Holy Grail War into a never-before-seen direction, where friends might become foes, the people you trust are keeping secrets from you, and villains with far-reaching schemes find their plans derailed - and in some cases, ''[[Oh Crap|enhanced]]'' - by simple chance.
