Second
Edition: August 2007
First Edition: November 2006
This fanfiction takes place after the anime. If you haven't
watched the anime yet, you're not missing much. This fanfic
relies more on the legend of King Arthur. Please see the
references below for more background.
For those who have read the first edition, a summary of differences
between the first and second edition is listed after the table of
contents.
About the Cover Art
The illustrator for the cover art is Ephemeral.
The cover art was originally used for Faith's
Chinese fanfic "Saving Dreams" first published on May
24, 2006. Faith's fanfic is stored on a chinese server, so you
will need to configure your browser to display the chinese font if it's
not configured.
Ephemeral has graciously given permission to use the cover art.
Thank you very much!
A WORD OF
WARNING!!! Some chapters contain descriptions
of nudity and bath scenes. Mature
situations are described in
Chapter 8 and later chapters. The rating for these chapters is
R. Reader discretion is advised.
DISCLAIMER: I don't
own Fate/Stay Night or any of the Fate/Stay Night characters mentioned
in this fanfic. No profit is made from writing this fanfic.
So please don't sue me.
Any resemblance of a character to a living or deceased person is
purely coincidental. This work resulted from my perverted
imagination. Special thanks to beta readers tensa, dtsx
and TK-kun. I appreciate all your help! m(._.)m newyoungjoo has kindly translated some
chapters in Korean.

When the anime version of Fate/Stay Night came out, I was very
excited. Patiently, I prayed and chanted: "Rin and Saber...
Rin and Saber... Rin and Saber...". Then I watched the mana
transfer episode.
"That's it?!"
Needless to say, I was disappointed. To add salt to my wounds,
the anime ended so sadly for Saber.
I was angry.
But I threw up my hands and took comfort in Strawberry Panic to ease my
pain. And then I saw Ephemeral's fan art. Soon, two voices
in my head demanded that I write a fanfic about them. No was not
an answer.
So every night after I got home from work, I slaved away in front my
PC, typing and typing until I got tired. Five months later, I
released the first set of chapters.
It's been a long ride, with ups and downs when the story got
stuck and I couldn't write. But overall, it was fun. Will I
do it again? Let me rest first, and then I'll think about it.
Anyway, I hope that the readers enjoyed reading it just as much as I
enjoyed writing it. Once again, I extend my thanks to everyone
who's read my fanfic.
