Okay, I gotta warn you guys, this idea is pretty... pretty crack.
The idea is simple: Archer is GAR. By, like, definition. Shirou, on the other hand, is kindof a dork. He's like Peter Parker, pre- radioactive spider bite. After FS/N he's like Peter Parker, post- radioactive spider bite: powerful and strong, but still a dork.
So he decides to go on a quest to become as awesome, as GAR as Archer, who is just his future self: by being proactive like this he hopes to avoid all the Emo paradox!suicide business that was Archer's whole motivation to become a Servant.
Naturally, Shirou recruits the help of the only magus that can help him travel around other dimensions, searching for masters of Being Awesome: Zelretch the Wizard Marshall. Naturally, such an absurd idea tickles Zelretch's fancy, and he agrees to help. Or maybe he just gives the kid the Kaleidostick and that works somehow.
Aided by Zelretch, Shirou studies at the feet of such masters of Awesomeness as Kamina (from TTGL), Kazuya the Shell Bullet (from Scryed), and maybe like Char Asnoble or something (Char from the the ORIGINAL Gundam).
Thoughts? Suggestions?
