    Main Story 
  • About everything Irisviel and Kiritsugu get up to inside the Grail. Just to start with, the reason Iri derails the Grail War is because she wants grandkids.
  • How does Iri keep Sakura from being forced to give up Rider? Unceremoniously drop the ceiling on Zouken. And when Zouken summons an Assassin, Iri gives him a Poisonous Person, knowing that sooner or later he would touch her and die. He doesn't even last a minute before he slaps her and promptly melts.
  • Kiritsugu idly notes that it's going to be hard for Shirou to have sex with Assassin since her touch is lethal. Iri hadn't considered that, and has Shielder summoned because she is immune to poison and can pass this ability on to allies. And she makes Caren her Master just to screw with Kirei.
  • When Bazett summons Lancer, she wanted Cú Chulainn, and is surprised she got his mentor Scáthach instead. Lancer smirks and says Bazett was probably hoping to get into Cú's pants, which Bazett vigorously denies. Lancer shrugs and says Cú is good in bed, but she'd be happy to help. Bazett turns into a stammering mess.
  • Kirei's reaction to realizing that the new master chosen among the Church is his daughter, Caren. Kirei mentally notes that he knows exactly what God is punishing him for, but still thinks it is a bit much.
  • In canon, Kirei's phone message to Rin is loaded with all sorts of dangerous implications and not-quite threats, making it clear that he is a powerful man in complete control of himself and others. In the fic, he flatly admits he has no idea what's going on, and then Caren starts bothering him so he ends up yelling at her in the background. Rin is left very confused.
  • As soon as Rin summons Archer, she starts driving Rin crazy by demanding and spending money and causing property damage whenever she fights.
  • Illya, on seeing Shirou with Sakura, Rin, and all their Servants, orders Berserker to "kill those skanks who are trying to steal my onii-chan!" Shirou still doesn't even know he has a sister—because Kiritsugu never got around to telling him.
    Iri: Oh dear. I think that Illya might be just a little yan yan for her brother...
    Kiritsugu: [sighing] I swear, it's a family curse to never have it easy with women...
    • Iri yells at Kiritsugu for never telling Shirou about Illya. Kiritsugu can only look away and sheepishly admit he dropped the ball on that one.
  • Illya throws a tantrum and breaks everything in her room. When her maids are about to clean it up, Illya uses a spell to instantly fix everything. Leysritt asks, "Why are we even here if she can do that by herself?"
  • Iri's method of recruiting Taiga through a vision.
    Iri: Now, do you have the spirit to go in there and keep those girls in line?
    Taiga: Yes.
    Iri: No matter what stands in your way?
    Taiga: Yes!
    Iri: Even if you have to fight them to keep Shirou safe?
    Taiga: YES!
    Iri: And are you going to get a piece of that action before all the good spots in the bed are taken?
    Taiga: HELL YES! Wait, what?
    Iri: That's the spirit! [knocks Taiga back to the real world]
    Kiritsugu: That was cruel.
    Iri: Oh, Taiga's a tough one. She'll handle her new responsibilities just fine.
    Kiritsugu: I meant to Shirou and the girls.
  • Because Iri broke the rules on the limit of Servants, other people can use that to get their own extra Servants. Iri only realizes it at the last second, when three separate groups get involved, and doesn't have time to stop the summons. She still makes sure all the new Masters and Servants are female, though.
    Iri: [nervously] I think Shirou can handle six more girls, right? He's a durable young man.
  • When the Ainsworths summon Avenger, Julian dramatically declares he is her Master, only for the wind to be taken out of his sails when Avenger points out Angelica got the Command Spells, not him.
  • Rin figures out Archer's identity note  and asks why she is a woman when history wrote her as a male:
    Archer: Well, I started growing breasts when I was thirteen and then…
    Rin: [While staring at her own chest] Not remotely what I meant!
  • During a meeting with Shirou and his allies, Caren refers to Saber, Rin, Drake, Sakura, and Rider as "his girls", prompting Rin to say that she is not his "anything". Caren agrees, and pointedly notes that Shirou prefers Sakura and that Rin and Shirou really are nothing. Rin visibly has to compose herself after this.
  • After a meeting with Shirou and Saber; Bazett, Lancer, Caren, and Shielder are talking about their thoughts about Shirou when Shielder mentions that she thinks that Saber needs someone like Shirou to lighten her up.
    Caren: Speaking from personal experience?
    Shielder: Have a father at the Round Table and you're the baby of the group forever, but I was actually talking about one of the other knights. Sir Bedivere was always the one who could make the king smile. He was a bit like Shirou actually. Earnest and determined, even if he was pushing himself far too hard. I miss him sometimes.
    Caren: Just him? The Round Table must have been a boring place.
    Shielder: Oh no, life in Camelot was always exciting: Like when Gawain would come home after one of his adventures and spend hours regaling us all with his incredible skills, whether we wanted to listen or not. Or when father would gain another admirer and we'd spend weeks helping him hide from her whenever he inevitably got tired of the poetry and flowers and gifts. Or when we all started a game of trying to figure out whether Tristan was asleep during our Round Table meetings or not. Or when Gareth would bring home another man that she'd "befriended" and Gawain would go on for hours about how he just wanted her to be safe before bullying us into spying on the new guy for him.
    [Everyone else staring at her in disbelief.]
    Bazett: Somehow I feel like my image of the Knights of the Round Table has been permanently damaged.
  • Rin complains that it's Luvia's fault she's so tired. Sakura gently says she can't blame everything on Luvia. Archer clarifies that this time it actually is Luvia's fault: She bought the empty lot next to Rin's house and made sure the construction crews were working loudly through the middle of the night.
  • Illya calls Shirou a playboy, and he tries to defend himself by saying that he is only actually sleeping with two of them. He realizes what he said and then groans, "That didn't come out right."
  • Avenger is in a middle of a fight with Saber when another Servant shows up. When Avenger asks who she is:
    Lancer: Well, I'm throwing spears at you. So clearly I must be Archer.
    Avenger: [Cross-Popping Veins] You think I'm going to stand here and let you mock me?!
  • In a fight, Bazett asks Shirou to watch her ass. He briefly admires her hips before focusing on the fight. He notes he's been spending too much time with Sakura.
  • Illya and Berserker enter the Emiya household and say Shirou invited them. The rest of his girls yell at him both for doing that and for forgetting to tell them.
  • After the two let themselves in, everyone acts civil because Taiga's grandfather Raiga is there. Shirou is hopeful their meeting can be resolved peacefully, but as soon as Raiga leaves, everyone starts threatening Illya and Berserker. Shirou tells them no fighting in his house, so they start arguing. Shirou is again hopeful for a peaceful outcome, but then they decide to take it outside.
  • When Berserker electrifies Ruler, she acts like she got off on it. Everyone stares at her awkwardly.
  • Illya stands on her toes and tries to kiss Shirou goodbye, but she is still too short, so Berserker has to pick her up so she can kiss him on the cheek.
  • After Illya and Berserker leave, Rin yells at Shirou and storms off. Shirou decides to talk to her and asks the others to back him up, but they all refuse.
  • Luvia flirts with Shirou and invites him to her house. Rin and Sakura give a Death Glare, and Shirou can see flames in Rin's eyes.
  • Rin scolds Shirou for nearly accepting the invitation, saying it is obviously a trap. Shirou says, "I'm not that stupid, Tohsaka." Ayako smirks and asks, "You sure about that?"

    Omakes/Meta 
  • One omake is Shirou, after the events of the Grail War, giving a sleep-deprived rant about the issues of having twenty-three girlfriends to his classmates and his classmates (with the exception of Issei) only caring about the fact that he has twenty-three incredibly beautiful girlfriends.
  • Shinji Matou abruptly disappears from the story. After a few readers asked what happened to him, the author explained that he is completely terrified of Rider and Assassin and has holed himself up in the Matou Mansion, praying they don't come for him. It is hilarious because those two barely even noticed him. Even funnier, when the readers asked how he was doing over two years later, the author stated he's only just gotten the courage to come out at night to make sandwiches for himself.
  • One fan omake shows the end of the Grail War, where Iri offers all of the servants normal bodies (so that they can both grow up and have Shirou's children), and gives them all sneak peaks using cards that are all but stated to be from Grand Order. The reactions are mixed and priceless.
    • Liz complains about losing her perfect idol body, causing the card (Carmilla) to glare at her.
    • Nobunaga has no complaints except wonder why her hair is now red (her card represents her Avenger self). Nobu also says that she looks better than grown-up Liz, causing Temptress to whack the Demon Archer with the blunt end of her spear.
    • Saber is sold once she sees her grown up and very well-endowed lancer-self.
    • Rider has a small breakdown because her future self is Gorgon, who she hates.
    • Finally, Shirou's future self is shown in a mirror (which Iri totally did not base on one from a Hall of Mirrors). Both Shirou and EMIYA glare at each other.
  • Another Omake has Serenity giving birth to her first child. The doctor aiding the delivery has to wear a hazmat suit, and notes that said infant is only slightly toxic.
  • One Omake is taken almost verbatim from the Castle Anthrax scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, except that the roles of Galahad and Lancelot are reversed. Lancelot still asks Galahad if they are gay, forgetting that Galahad is a girl in this universe, something that genuinely enrages her. And it's outright stated that this actually happened when they were alive.
    • Even funnier, when Galahad tells this to the rest of the harem and Shirou, everyone is reduced to Stunned Silence except for Saber, who remembers these times quite fondly.
