A ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' fanfic by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/blindinkpoet/pseuds/blindinkpoet blindinkpoet.]]

There are many ways the Fifth Holy Grail War can go. Even when all the Servants are the same, the smallest choices can change everything.

Or Morgan le Fay can just get herself summoned and start screwing with the War from the word go.

Morgan le Fay, once Morgan Pendragon, still feels guilt for the ruin of Camelot. Seeing all the paths her sister's life can take, she decides to insert herself in the Fifth Holy Grail War, taking the Berserker slot and getting herself summoned by Shirou Emiya. Using her supreme magical power combined with knowledge of the future, she quickly begins manipulating events in her favor, hoping to build a new future where almost everyone can be happy.

The other players in the War are mostly confused, certainly suspicious, and not willing to just go along with a mysterious witch. But Morgan planned for that, and nothing is going to stand in the way of finally making things right.

!!This fanfic provides examples of:

* CluelessChickMagnet: Shirou, of course, as always. Just to start with he's got Rin and Sakura both after him. Morgan knows from the start she's going to end up having sex with him, but reminds herself not to be drawn into his "harem." Artoria doesn't interact with him but Morgan promises she'll end up with Archer (so Shirou from another direction), and Ayako ends up drawn into the War when Shirou saves her.
* IntimateHealing: Morgan notes that she'll need to do a sex-as-mana-transfer with Shirou eventually (and is even looking forward to it), but she taps into the local ley lines as an alternative energy source to put that off as long as possible. [[spoiler:When it starts becoming more imminent, she asks Sakura for permission first]].
* PeggySue: In a variant, Morgan, the one going back in time, had absolutely nothing to do with the original events; the very first change she made was getting herself summoned instead of someone else. She still fills the role, though, as she has full knowledge of the future and uses it to put everything on a more preferred path.
* PetTheDog: Technically the entire fic is one big example, as Morgan is trying to make up for her mistakes by maximizing happiness. More specifically:
** She's rather gentle with Archer, largely treating him as a scared, angry child who just needs to be shown some kindness. Archer is, of course, more than a little confused at this, but Morgan promises that he'll end up with Artoria in the end.
** She clearly sees a lot of herself in Sakura, and one of her first goals is to get her out from under Zouken's thumb. [[spoiler:She also asks permission before doing a sex-as-mana-transfer with Shirou, even though Shirou and Sakura aren't actually dating]].
** Likewise, she sees the parallels between Illya and Shirou with herself and Artoria, and shuts down their first fight before it can even start.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Morgan is surprised when Shirou catches on rather quickly that something strange is going on with her. She mentally notes that she should have known better; he tends to get hyper-focused on a goal, but this ''is'' a boy whose primary ability is AwesomenessByAnalysis. He is good at noticing small details and putting them together quickly.
* SquareRaceRoundClass: One of the most powerful witches of all time is summoned as a ''Berserker''. This is canon to ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', but it was weird there too. The very first thing Morgan does is break the Mad Enchantment on herself, making her a Berserker in name only.
