In canon, the Fifth Grail War happened decades too early.
But... what if it didn't?
Say the Grail War happens 10 or 20 years later than canon. This gives every Master more time to sharpen their skills, or allows new Masters to supplant the old.
What do you think would happen?
Personally, I think Shirou would either repair cars for a living (unlikely, since he's not directly saving people that way), or be involved in the yakuza through Taiga (though it'd need some explaining). He could be a firefighter, too.
Rin would probably be married, even if it isn't out of love. She'd also be an expert mage with shittons of gems.
Sakura, Shinji, Zouken... I don't really know, to be honest.
Ilya could be kept in cyrosleep until it was time to summon Berserker.
Gil would probably exhaust his supply of orphans, too.
No idea about the others.
There are a lot of interesting directions this could go.
