My last and first idea for the FSN fandom was a bit of a flop, and with good reason, although I still have hope it might someday be used as a crackfic.
Having researched somewhat more the mechanics of the universe, I was scrolling through Archer's history on Wikipedia, and came up with this:
To me, that sounds like nothing more than a WEAPON, from FF7.
I immediately came up with this: The planet is in danger, and it sends out the signal to wake the WEAPONs. And who should wake among them, but Archer.
Granted, there's still some stuff to be worked out like, how did he get to that world. If I recall correctly, human settlers reached that planet far in it's past, when it was already housing the Cetra. Theywere the ancestors of the current-day occupants of that planet.
Maybe instead of being excecuted for his 'war crimes', he was sentenced to exile on the first colony ship - actually a prison ship being sent away from earth, designed never to return. The entire fleet lands on the planet where FF7 takes place, and the rest is history.
It would mean denying the events of the 5th holy grail war, and him ever going back in time to try and kill shirou, etc... but I'd be interested to see what he does on that world.
As a WEAPON, his imperitive is to destroy the ones responsible for the impending death of the world. The rest of the WEAPONS take the view that huanity in general is responsible, and try to wipe it out. Archer is a more precision instrument, designed to surgically remove the flaw with minimal fuss.
Some things I'd like to see:
-Masamune as a broken phantasm.
-Cloud drooling as he sees 'Unlimited Blade works.'
-Archer pointing out all the flaws in Cid's Rocket.
Of course, Sephiroth would completely pwn him, but if he can get six lives off of Hercules, he should at least be able to slow down a SOLDIER general.
Also, given that he now has the pessimistic view that people can oly be saved by killing others (I think - that's what I understand from the Wiki site) I wouldn't put it past him to go after people like Shinra or Hojo, to try and take them out.
Plus, if he could trace Rider's bridle, he could get some pretty cool monsters to ride around on (not too sure about this? Wiki site said he could mainly do swords really well, and even Rider had trouble with things like dragons.)

Wikipedia said:
Through his deal with the world, which made him not only an Epic Spirit, but also a Guardian of the world, he still had hoped to serve mankind somehow in afterlife. However, as the Guardian, he is only summoned to prevent the impending doom of the world by eliminating the cause, which usually means killing people who are responsible for bringing the disaster.
