'''Emiya Shirou''' }}
 
In the aftermath of the [[Fate /Zero|Fourth Holy Grail War]], Emiya Kiritsugu was content to live out his final days with his newly adopted son Shirou. However, he found himself beset by strange dreams, dreams that told him the results of his incomplete training of Shirou's magecraft. As a result, he knew that he had to prepare for the future. For a [[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight|Holy Grail War that was approaching fifty years early]].
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7207791/1/From_Fake_Dreams From Fake Dreams]'' is a [[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]] [[Alternate Universe Fic]] written by Third Fang, author of the [[Door StopperDoorstopper|incredibly long]] ''[[Yet Again (Fanfic)|Yet again, with a little extra help]]'' [[Fanfic]]. The story follows the Magus Killer as he seeks to have Shirou properly trained in skills for the upcoming war, and then Shirou as he tries to make sense of the world of Magi he's been thrust deep into.

=== This fanfiction series contains examples of: ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Accidental Innuendo]]: [[In -Universe]], with [[Oblivious to Love|Shirou]] delivering a ridiculous amount in Chapter 15. Bazett and Rin [[Crowning Moment of Funny|can't help but notice, though]].
** Even his [[Pre -Mortem One -Liner]] is not immune.
* [[Ambiguous Disorder]]: Shirou, who doesn't seem to realize that Rin has feelings for him and consistently takes her at her word. This [[Poor Communication Kills|causes]]… a little friction. Being "distorted" (as in canon), this is unsurprising.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: The King of Rats in chapter 17 when the others are noting the fact that he is an unusually well mannered demon.
** The King of Rats smiled. "You are not the first to say that young girl. My master himself was also quite intrigued when he first realized that I am rather fond of the human race even though he did not create me as such." He raised the mace to the light in the room to get a better look at it. "When he asked me about it, I merely replied that I constantly work for the betterment of all rats, my master… and humans so long as the latter continue to make pizza of course."
* [[Badass Creed]]: Not finished yet, but he's close to [[Field of Blades|Unlimited Blade Works]]:
{{quote| ''My body is made of blades… Fire is my blood… and Glass is my heart… Through countless battles I forever wait, alone on the hill of blades… For Hell's hands to bear… For Heaven's hands to temper…''}}
* [[Badass Teacher]]: {{spoiler|Kuzuki has been sparring with Shirou.}}
* [[Big Bad Ensemble]]: Louvre, Zouken Matou, Kirei Kotomine, & Gilgamesh. For now, anyway...
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* [[Black Swords Are Better]]: Shirou's most dangerous sword Kiritsugu is a black longsword with blood-red stains and [[Tainted Veins|brown veins]] on it.
* [[Blasting It Out of Their Hands]]: Rin does this to Louvre, to multiple characters' surprise.
{{quote| ''"…I can't believe that actually worked…" Rin, Bazett, Shirou, and Waver muttered under their breaths in relief and or mild disbelief.''}}
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Shirou's inherited magic crest ends up being a [[Game Breaker]] against Louvre: {{spoiler|Time magic, combined with the Origin Sword Maiya, equals a way to bind a vampire's personal timespace to the Gaian timeline, thus nullifying his pesky healing factor. I repeat: Shirou is now not only a major threat to magi all around, but it expands to magi-turned-Dead Apostles as well.}}
* [[Cool Sword|Cool Swords]]: The Origin Swords are [[Game Breaker]] material, to be blunt, to the point that Shirou could easily become [[The Dreaded]] for other Magi. [[Cool Big Sis|Bazett]] has told him upfront that she'd kill him if he ever made her list before he could use them.
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
** Maiya: Can bind things, including alterations and souls, improperly, effectively screwing over anything that can split itself apart or adding something to their very core.
** Kiritsugu: This blade… well, it Severs and Binds just like the Origin Bullets, but combined with the curse… it hits them down to the very soul. Hitting someone's magic with it can cause them to literally lose the memory of the spell. If it hits them directly… Well, let's just say even [[Tsukihime|Roa]] wouldn't be able to escape it. {{spoiler|Louvre found out just how terrifying it is, the hard way.}}
{{quote| '''Shirou:''' ''Sacrifice and save, blade of the cursed hero.'' '''Kiritsugu!'''}}
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: {{spoiler|Shirou's swords}} may turn out to be this.
* [[Didn't See That Coming]]: Waver Velvet's plan to rescue Sirius runs afoul when Louvre uses his newly-acquired weapon.
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
* [[Dead Man Writing]]: Kiritsugu left behind letters to be read by Shirou once the the fifth Heaven's Feel goes into swing. {{spoiler|Recent circumstances, however, led to Shirou discovering the letters early, although only one has revealed its contents.}}
* [[Deader Than Dead]]: The final fate of anything hit by the Origin Blade Kiritsugu. {{spoiler|The souls can't even go through [[Reincarnation]]!}}
* [[Death Byby Adaptation]]: {{spoiler|Shinji}} bites it after running into Louvre's son. {{spoiler|[[Asshole Victim|Not that anyone actually complained…]]}}
* [[Deal Withwith the Devil]]: Shirou is forced into one with {{spoiler|Zouken regarding the war and Sakura.}}
* [[Dreaming of Things to Come]]: Basically what kicks off the entire story. Kiritsugu basically sees all three routes, the [[Multiple Endings]], [[Bad End|Bad Ends]] (sans [[Have a Nice Death|Tiger Dojo]]), and the life of the Shirou that became a Counter Guardian.
* [[Flaming Sword]]: Louvre's son has one with blue flame that drains od on contact.
Line 48 ⟶ 47:
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: {{spoiler|The Ash of Miracles}}. Guess who.
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: When Shirou is returning a prana-filled jewel to Rin, Taiga thinks Shirou got himself a new girlfriend.
* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: According to Bazett, every female enforcer has to deal with them at least once.
* [[Original Character]]: Sirius McGinty, crafter of Mystic Codes, including Kiritsugu's Thompson Contender.
** Chapter 18 introduces {{spoiler|Marjatta Edelfelt, the younger sister of Luviagetta Edelfelt, who due to the ''Ore scales'' aka ''Sisters'' characteristic of the Edelfelt clan is co-heir.}}
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
** [[Jerkass Realization|Which Rin is forced to realize when she]] {{spoiler|learns of his Reality Marble.}}
* [[Posthumous Character]]: Kiritsugu is dead after 3 years of raising Shirou, by the end of Chapter 5.
* [[Pre -Ass -Kicking One -Liner]]: Rin as she {{spoiler|points the Thompson Contender at an enraged Louvre}}.
{{quote| ''"…Get off my property."''}}
* [[Pre -Mortem One -Liner]]: In the same chapter as the aforementioned [[Pre -Ass -Kicking One -Liner]], from Shirou when he's {{spoiler|comparing Louvre's collection of weapons to his}}.
{{quote| ''"It's not big enough."''}}
* [[Small Role, Big Impact]]: Kiritsugu dies even sooner than in canon due to {{spoiler|giving Shirou his magic circuits}}, but his actions here set the new plot entirely into swing.
* [[Spanner in Thethe Works]]: [[Tsukihime|Louvre]], whose desire for Mystic Codes and Conceptual Weapons has him kidnapping Sirius. This leads to the chain of events that exposes the existence of Shirou and his abilities to not only the Mage's Association, but to [[Big Bad Ensemble|Kotomine, Zouken, and Gilgamesh]] as well.
* [[Storm of Blades]]: Like his canon counterpart, Shirou is completely capable of this. {{spoiler|Taken [[Up to Eleven]] during his fight with Louvre, when he traces practically his whole arsenal simultaneously.}}
* [[Soul Cutting Blade]]: Kiritsugu's intended function was to cripple a magus' magic circuits, but when that effect is reinforced by the curse of Angra Mainyu, the effect goes far further, all the way down to the very soul.
* {{spoiler|[[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Shirou [[Human Pincushion|skewering Louvre with his entire arsenal of weapons]], an arsenal whose count measures in the hundreds, if not thousands.}}
* [[Too Much Information]]: Sirius in chapter 18 much to Bazett and Shirou's consternation.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: {{spoiler|After [[Fate/hollow Hollow Ataraxiaataraxia|Bazett]] [[Big Damn Heroes|saves Shirou]] by killing Louvre's daughter, she pretty much says this in regards to him making a [[Geas]] with Louvre's son in order to protect Rin and Sakura.}}
* [[You Are Not Alone]]: {{spoiler|Part of Rin's comforting speech when Shirou tries to make sense of receiving Mystic Code swords from Kiritsugu while being told to tone down his heroic-obsessed distortion.}}
