Cu-nosuba: God’s Blessing on This Lancer’s Holy Grail War!

Don't know if you have strong feelings about it one way or the other author but...
While it's a bit hotly debated, Gilgamesh in canon likely doesn't have Excalibur in his Gate of Babylon.

It's all the treasures he had in life + all prototype NPs connected to humanity. Arguably, a lot of NP's are connected enough in lore to make a bunch of NPs of the fate characters prototypes of others, so having say Gae Bolg isn't weird. He has been shown to have a couple of divine NP's but they are very rare in his collection).

Excalibur isn't a prototype for any NP because of its scale/purpose (Literally a fight threat to planet-scale weapon), it was forged by 'super' fairies in the reverse side of the world so it isn't really that connected to humanity other than Artoria having it on loan (She never 'owned' it, hence why she has to give it back when she 'dies'.). Gil's had LOTS of opportunities to stunt on Arthur/Artoria by pulling her stuff out at her, and never did.

Incidentally, while I don't think there was any specific mention of him not having it in actual canon, him not having Avalon(the sheathe) WAS mentioned, it's extremely unlikely he has her spear either, it's... possibly even more inhuman/stronger(if in a different way) than Excalibur is.

He definitely is missing a lot of divine constructs; he has Harp and Gram though.

Well there are other swords that are considered siblings of Excalibur(Galatine and Arondight) so it could also have a sword that was used as a "Prototype", though thats assuming, I remember hearing that he had something like that but don't remember if it was Fanon or canon

I actually didn't consider that, but the fairy angle does make sense why he never used it against her. Though I somewhat recall a mention that even Gil doesn't know the full contents of his inventory.

Still, thank you for taking the time to write this out! I'll have to be sure to remember that if I ever write another Fate fic.

Shirou going full magus killer is fucking hilarious. But I guess he can't be blamed; he was told that Saber was the one who destroyed his life and killed his family 10 years ago (because yes, he does remember them; we even almost see a small flashback in the VN before he forces himself to stop thinking about it) before he ever managed to fall in love and form a bond with her.

Is he planning on dropping out of school? After Rin still goes there, and I doubt he would actually care about school anymore now that he has fully become a "Hero of Justice" like his dad. He's more likely to just disappear off the grid and run to the Middle East for the rest of his life, though he'll probably only use firearms instead of swords since his magecraft is still crap because he never got the soul resonance with EMIYA.



What servant? Gilgamesh? I don't think he would become Shirou's servant when Kirei is already here with better magic circuits, more experience, and over a dozen command seals.

Unless Gilgamesh doesn't trust Kirei and would prefer the weaker Shirou, but that wouldn't be in character; as far as Gilgamesh is aware, Kirei is loyal to him and his plan of unleashing Angra Mainyu.

Though I guess it would be super funny to have Archer go crazy because, for the first time in all his eternal life, he finally fights against an evil Shirou teamed up with Gilgamesh. Truly you never stop experiencing surprises in your life, but I guess that's the beauty of living.

I think the school would still be shut down after Rider's attack causing everyone to collapse for an investigation just like canon.

As for the other parts regarding Shirou and Gil, I got something somewhat written on that for the start of the next chapter.
