And that's not all there is to it. While Shirou and the Servants and Masters are leading their oddly domestic lives together, something darker is going on. Strange beasts are spotted and an unfamiliar magus appears to have restarted the Heavens Feel. That said, none of the Servants seem to actually care since they've settled into their new lives. Yet while this is going on, time seems to be looping in an odd manner, lasting four days before the world resets back to the first day with no apparent sign of any continuity between cycles.
On top of all that, no one seems to have informed Bazett Fraga McRemitz that the Fifth Grail War ended six months ago. She's not really sure why, but rather than the Servant she intended to summon she seems to have ended up with someone... darker. Meet the eighth Servant whose identity was only hinted at in the [[Fate/stay
An English patch for ''Fate/hollow ataraxia'' was completed in 2014, available at [https://web.archive.org/web/20171025124638/https://tlwiki.org/?title=Fate%2FHollow_Ataraxia TLWiki].
Please do not add details that relate to ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' and reserve this page for those dealing only with this story.
* {{spoiler|[[All Just a Dream]] - [[Or Was It a Dream]]}}▼
{{tropelist}}
▲* {{spoiler|[[All Just a Dream]] - [[Or Was It a Dream?]]}}
* [[All Myths Are True]] - The wide variety of legendary heroes who can be summoned as Servants. Partly explained by Assassin, who is by his own admission a fictional character, as a reverse of the hero making the legend. This still doesn't explain how a mage is able to acquire the legendary artifact needed to summon the specific hero, such as Gilgamesh's: the fossilized remains of the first snake to shed its skin (tied to a legend about his quest for immortality).
* [[Alternate Continuity]] - Essentially all routes and [[Multiple Endings|endings]] of ''[[Fate/stay
* [[Art Shift]] - A movie seen in ''hollow ataraxia'' is presented with live action pictures of different types of dolls instead of the usual art style. Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].
* [[Back
* [[Badass]] - [[World of Badass|Nearly everyone]].
* [[Body Horror]] - Spikes erupt from Caren Ortensia's skin in the presence of evil.
* [[Broad Strokes]] - Enough of the ''[[Fate/stay
* [[By the Power of Greyskull]] - When a Servant uses what's usually their most powerful weapon or distinctive skill -the Noble Phantasm- they shout its name. All Noble Phantasms must be called out to be used. [[Justified Trope|This is explained as being required to unlock their power in the Holy Grail War system]].
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]] - Avenger and Angra Manyu were both mentioned in passing in ''[[Fate/stay
* [[City of Adventure]] - Fuyuki City, [http://punynari.wordpress.com/2009/10/31/real-life-fate-stay-night-locations-in-kobe/ which is based on Kobe]. However, there isn't a single character with the [[Kansai Regional Accent]] one would expect almost everyone to have in the heart of that region.
* [[Continuity Snarl]]: If you keep track of everything that is mentioned in the story, you'll note that Shirou has to remember an impossibly complicated and possibly contradictory series of events. For example, he remembers Tohsaka beating Caster in close range combat in the church like in ''Unlimited Blade Works'' but he also remembers her being impaled by Gilgamesh outside his house. Thankfully, this is the [[Multiverse|Nasuverse]], so all routes are canon (even ones that were never shown).
Line 30 ⟶ 31:
* [[Empathic Weapon]] - Zeltrech's Kaleidostick. An incredibly powerful magical device capable of channeling enormous amounts of [[Mana]] and giving its wielder powers and knowledge pulled from alternate realities, {{spoiler|with the drawback being that it derives considerable joy from humiliating said wielder and forcing them into ridiculous [[Magical Girl]] costumes}}.
* [[Familiar]] - All the Servants are a type of Familiar. Shirou wonders why Lancer is still around since his Master died. As established in ''[[Tsukihime|Kagetsu Tohya]]'' only the most powerful familiars can stay alive even a little while after their master dies.
* [[Fan Translation]] - There is [https://web.archive.org/web/20100506011346/http://www.tsukuru.info/tlwiki/index.php?title=Fate
* [[Filler]] - A large amount of scenes have little to do with the main plot. Special mention goes to the numerous early Shirou/Sakura scenes which seem to mostly consist of nothing but talking about cooking, blushing and similar things. Presumably a result of Sakura not having much to build off of that isn't depressing thanks to ''Heavens Feel's'' rather grim nature. Which is not to say that those are the only filler scenes, just the ones that receive the most complaints.
* [[Fission Mailed]] - Sneaking into Sakura's room with Shinji to look at her diary results in this.
Line 39 ⟶ 40:
* [[Gotterdammerung]] - Modern Magecraft vs. [[Older Is Better|the Age of Gods]]. Though Caster notes that the likes of Sakura and Tohsaka have some absolutely amazing potential and in her age it seems there were no True Magics like what Zelretch can do.
* [[Groundhog Day Loop]] - Surprisingly, apart from the gameplay functions of the four days continuously looping for Shirou's half of narration Avenger admits outright after the first time he and Bazett are killed that the four days will keep looping even if they're killed.
* [[Hentai]] - Some people are ''very'' surprised when they find out that the original ''[[Fate/stay
* [[Ho Yay]] - Issei seems to have a bit of a crush on Shirou, though no one instory seems to notice. Shirou also notes that Rider seems 'fascinated' by Ayako.
* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]] - Servants can have their Noble Phantasm coming out of thin air. [[Justified]] by the Holy Grail War system. Lancer pulls out Gae Bolg at one point to show to Ayako. And also chop flowers for a get well bouquet
Line 53 ⟶ 54:
* [[Mundane Utility]] - Lancer picking flowers and showing off for girls with Gae Bolg, an imagine spot of Rider petrifying policeman who are after her, Saber unleashing the Barrier of the Wind King when Shirou teases her about her stuffed lion and more.
* [[No Ontological Inertia]] - All the Servants being able to stick around is odd, but has some precedent with the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' good end and ''Heavens Feel'' true end, but Shirou wonders why Lancer is still around after the death of Kotomine.
* [[Not Himself]] - Many of the characters are nothing like they were in ''[[Fate/stay
* [[Older Than They Look]] - Saber, who is said to look a couple of years younger than Shirou, but is actually around seven years his senior due to the age-stopping effect of Avalon when possessed by its rightful owner. Gilgamesh also appears in child form and Ilya is a homunculus and thus has what has been called 'unusual growth patterns' and thus looks around ten.
* [[One Hundred Percent Completion]] - There's an actual meter for it. Try to see all the ? scenes before the ! ones or you may miss out on them forever.
Line 59 ⟶ 60:
* [[Road Cone]] - Ataraxia ignores the sometimes large contradictions between routes and throws almost all of it in.
* [[Root of All Evil]] - Supposedly, Angra Mainyu. Avenger states outright that he is not the god and just a guy that had the title bestowed on him for having some similarities to the god in question.
* [[Shout
* [[Spell My Name
* [[Tenchi Solution]] - In this continuity Shirou does not seem to have settled down with anyone in particular, though sex scenes are still implied to have taken place.
* [[Third Option Adaptation]] - ''Fate/hollow ataraxia'' is a sequel, not an adaptation, but it essentially mashes together parts of all the routes in the original, while removing or ignoring things that would be contradictory or difficult to handle on a fandisc, such as most of the traumatic bits of Sakura's backstory mostly being glossed over. This is probably justified by Rin accidentally almost merging all realities a month before Ataraxia takes place, as well as the nature of the [[Groundhog Day Loop]] occurring in the story.
* [[Transformation Sequence]] - Rin's [[Magical Girl]] transformation
* [[Two
* [[Unwanted Harem]] - The story does not have Shirou paired off with any one character. Instead, he now has Tohsaka, Saber and Sakura plus the addition of Rider and Ilya while Ayako and the three track girls also seem attracted to him to varying extents. {{spoiler|A particularly entertaining scene opens up in Eclipse after you get [[One Hundred Percent Completion]], where Bazett and Caren both also try to move into the Emiya household, and each of the heroines vigorously protests.}}
** Averted with: {{spoiler|Bazett, even if the heroines protest about her moving in for a week, it's clear she's in love with Lancer. Caren, on the other hand, seems mildly taken with Shirou's resemblance to Avenger.}}
* [[Verbal Tic]] - Normally averted, but when the crowd gets a hold of some Einzbern spirits, each drinker gets a verbal tic based on their preferred animal. Rin talks like a cat-nya, Saber like a lion-gao, and Shirou talks like a dog-wan. In general, though, at least in the original Japanese, one can reliably distinguish almost every character simply by their natural speaking patterns, without needing to involve a lot of odd speech or particles (Himuro's odd use of archaic honorifics notwithstanding).
* [[Will Not Tell a Lie]] - Shirou says that he's learned that Servants generally never lie outright as a matter of pride. If you look back at ''[[Fate/stay
* [[World of Badass]]
