Taking a look at just the first chapter, it looks bad, but I'm not really convinced of its missionability, to coin a term. I'll stick it in my list of "fics for consideration," see if I come up with anything for it.

On a more general note, I feel like a lot of Fate/ fans kind of miss a recurring theme in the series, which is that losing sight of your ideals ultimately leads to just as much pain as clinging too tightly to them. Archer is cool, yes, but in the end he hates what he's become just as much (if not more than) he hates what he was. And I think post-UBW, Shirou would go out of his way to not become like Archer; he's seen what comes of that, after all.

Honestly, I'd say that the main difference between Harry and Shirou is that Harry tends to be a little quicker on the uptake and actually has a sense of self-preservation.
