So I had a thought this morning regarding a Type-Moon story . . .
Initially, my idea was just to plan this as a power-grab between the Fifth War and the system's dismantlement ten years afterward (which, of course, necessitates that certain routes and Ends be followed).
Then I considered what might be possible if Alaya intervened prior to the Fourth War's even starting - I had visions of a teenaged Ilya being a second Master, while the Einzberns carried out the strategy they used in Fate/Zero.
Eventually, though, I've decided on this:
During either the Fourth or Fifth Grail War, Fuyuki is destroyed via Counter Guardian intervention (I'm thinking earthquake, or volcanic eruption - or triggering the explosives Kiritsugu had planted as a failsafe).
The resulting damage to the area's ley lines sends surges all across the country, creating a new prime area for the ritual to be held. While the Mages' Association is inclined to shut down the system altogether, those eager or desperate enough to try for one last attempt at the Grail make arrangements to gather in the new location, and make their play.
The players gather in Misaki Town, and the Apostate Crusade begins . . .
To answer the immediate questions:
* Depending on the routes I choose, the Fate and Tsukihime characters involved are variable, but the taint of Angra Mainyu is considered to be removed from the Grail following the prior War.
* There will be Einzbern, Tohsaka, and Tohno representatives in the War, regardless.
* I'm also planning on representatives from Atlas and the Church.
* Naturally, there are a couple of surprises planned, as well.
. . . Anyways, does this sound like something I should consider worth pursuing?
