-> ''But mostly? The [[ThirtyXanatosPileup assorted plans at play here]] would be going very, very wrong due to the actions of [[SpannerInTheWorks a no-name, no-count, utterly talentless Magus by the name of Shirou Emiya]]. [[NaiveNewcomer He had no magic worth mentioning, no combat experience of note, and no plan for or knowledge of the War he was about to enter]]. He did, however, have one trait that had derailed a countless number of such grand, far-reaching schemes throughout history.''

Having believed Shirou to be - like [[DisappearedDad Kiritsugu 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, ''[[OhCrap enhanced]]'' - by simple chance.

** More conventionally, [[SmugSuper Gilgamesh]] reacts this way to [[spoiler:Caster Alter and her "pet" shadow monster, Lancer Alter]], in Chapter 12.

* FastballSpecial: [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Hilariously]], Shirou does this to [[SmugSnake Shin]][[TheChewToy ji]] in Chapter 4.

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...:

* {{Protectorate}}: Ilya to [[IdiotHero Shirou]].

* AffablyEvil: [[spoiler: Corrupted!Caster]].

* DarkActionGirl: Rider, of course. Also, arguably the new course for [[spoiler: [[SquishyWizard Caster]]]].

** More conventionally, [[SmugSuper Gilgamesh]] reacts this way to [[spoiler: Caster and her "pet" shadow monster]] in Chapter 12.

* FlatWhat: The response of Archer, Lancer, ''and'' True Assassin to [[spoiler: a Grail-Corrupted Caster]] in Chapter 9:

* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: Caster]].

* {{Revenge}}: After [[spoiler: Kuzuki's death]], this becomes [[spoiler: Caster's]] motive.

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler: Caster, first, with Lancer following on from that]].

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Caster]], and ''how''!

This story - considered by some fans to be a {{Fanon}} interpretation of the never-made "Ilya Route", takes many elements from the ''Heaven's Feel'' story path, but is largely its own story. Started in 2010, it combines the Moczo-brand style of humour (''Fanfic/UninvitedGuests'' & ''Fanfic/ManchesterLost'') with their other strengths of superb plotting, characterisation and story-telling (''Fanfic/{{Infinity}}''), to create a worthwhile reading experience.

* FriendlyEnemy: Rider, of course. Even when [[spoiler: she's takes some of Shirou's ''prana'' to ensure Sakura doesn't die]], she's very considerate about it.

** And then Archer does it to Rin in chapter 11.

* BigSisterInstinct: If you don't want Ilya to sic [[GameBreaker Berserker]] on you, then do ''not'' harm "a single hair on Shirou's head. [[spoiler: Rider]] found this out the hard way.

--> ''But at the very least, even on those rare occasions that his conscience (yes, despite [[TheSociopath what anyone else might say]], he did have one) flared up, he could always say 'At least I'm not Zouken'. The elderly Magus disgusted him, repelled him in every way and on every level. Kirei was, after all, completely selfless in his own way. His [[OmnicidalManiac means of doing so]] was [[EvilFeelsGood bizarre]], [[Understatement perhaps]], but he cared only for other people.''

* TheProtectorate: Ilya to [[IdiotHero Shirou]].

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Put simply, just about ''every'' interaction between Ilya and Shirou either has or ''is'' one of these.

* AntiVillain: Rin. Arguably qualifies as HeroAntagonist, to a degree.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Not said yet, but this is why [[JerkassWoobie Ilya]] grows fond of Shirou.

* CerebusSyndrome: The first few chapters aren't completely light-hearted, but even the action and tension is interspersed with humour. This isn't totally lost in [[spoiler: [[WhamEpisode Chapter 8]]]] onwards, but the tone appropriately becomes darker (and the story even ''more'' evidently arc-driven).
* TheChewToy: Shinji, arguably even ''[[BeyondTheImpossible more]]'' than in {{Canon}}. In Chapter

* FastballSpecial: Shirou [[CrowningMomentOfFunny does this to Shinji]] in Chapter 4.

* MyMasterRightOrWrong

* TheOjou: Ilya, according to Shirou.
