26 – Goodbye
Rin doesn’t hesitate for a moment as she charges Berserker; her farewell to Archer will be to avenge his death.
27 – Hide
Rin’s long, dark hair covers them both when she drapes herself over Archer; hiding them from the world for a few treasured hours.
28 – Fortune
”Let me read your palm” Rin tells him; it’s an easy excuse to hold Archer’s hand in her own.
29 – Safe
Archer doesn’t bother to wonder when his goal shifted from winning the Grail to keeping Rin safe, even at the cost of his own life.
30 – Ghost
Archer’s warm lips, so firm and insistent against her own, easily make Rin forget that he is a spirit.
31 – Book
Rin always keeps the book she used to summon Archer close by, thumbing through its pages for reassurance.
32 – Eye
”An eye for an eye.” Rin murmurs to Archer as her tongue slowly traces patterns over his stomach; Archer has never been so grateful for justice.
33 – Never
Archer’s tea is perfect, but he’ll never make it for anyone but Rin.
34 – Sing
All it takes for Archer’s blood to sing with desire for her is the jasmine scent of Rin’s hair.
35 – Sudden
Rin smiles at him, and abruptly Archer feels something rapidly constrict in his chest; he realizes with dismay that it is probably his heart.
36 – Stop
Rin is too practical to just fall in love, especially with a man she can’t have, but when she looks at Archer sipping his cup of tea and feels warm inside, she knows stopping is no longer an option.
37 – Time
Time and space is what ultimately divides them, but as Archer fades away he vows to find a way to return to her.
38 – Wash
”Wash your back?” Rin says with a not-so-innocent smile; Archer thinks that it is only fair to do the same for her.
39 – Torn
The conflict between the professional eirei and the man hopelessly in love is tearing Archer apart inside, contained only by pride and incredible willpower.
40 – History
Archer doesn’t remember his past, but he looks at Rin gracefully drinking her tea and thinks he doesn’t really mind.
41 – Power
”In terms of reiju and magical power it’s safe to say that you’re the most powerful” Archer told her, not knowing he had barely scratched the surface of the kind of power she would have over him.
42 – Bother
Even if Archer didn’t like doing chores he still wouldn’t mind doing things for Rin.
43 – God
Although Rin doesn’t really believe in God, Archer has a way of making her recant over and over again when he makes love to her.
44 – Wall
Archer sincerely tried to wall his heart off from Rin; it is ultimately an exercise in futility.
45 – Naked
Rin is happiest when they lie naked in her bed together, tangled up in the sheets and each other.
46 – Drive
Rin is pretty sure using Tracing to make himself a Ferrari is an abuse of Archer’s powers, but she sees the oddly boyish look in his eyes and decides not to say anything.
47 – Harm
In the infinitely long seconds before he vanishes, Archer looks back on all he has done and only regrets he can’t protect Rin from future harm.
48 – Precious
Rin has a great collection of mana-charged gems, useful and powerful talismans that she would give up in a second for Archer.
49 – Hunger
For a Servant with a steady supply of mana, the need to eat is more of an affectation than anything else; then again, Archer thinks as he practically tears off Rin’s conservative uniform, some kinds of hunger can’t be satiated with just anything.
50 – Believe
Leaving Archer behind was the most difficult thing Rin has ever done; only belief in him keeps her legs moving further and further away from his side.
