=== Fate/Hollow Ataraxia ===
A loose sequel to Fate/Stay Night, released not long after, and probably required reading if you liked the above. A fanservice disc in one part, and a backside of the original story in the other. Long after the Holy Grail War, Emiya Shirou is caught in a looping world of four days, which appears to be a mesh of every route, including ones which don't exist, all due to what seems to be a catastrophic miscast on Rin's part, and everyone gets into wacky hijinks.

In truth, the situation is much more complicated. The real story follows Bazett Fraga McRemitz, Lancer's original master, who should have been dead. In Hollow Ataraxia, she is brought back to life by what seems to be a mysterious, irregular, weak, and very angry Servant calling himself Avenger Together they go on a journey through the Holy Grail War's history in an attempt to untangle the mess of the ritual ''properly''.

Hollow Ataraxia has a full translation patch, you can play it. Voice acting was absent until the Vita rerelease, but patches have been made backporting it to the PC. The game would retroactively introduce the "eighth" servant class, and the one ultimately responsible for screwing up the Grail Wars in the Fate timeline:
*'''Avenger''': Don't think this is about [[Marvel Comics|superheroes]], servants summoned as this class [[Edgy|desire nothing but revenge, no matter how high the cost]]. They're so obsessed with getting even that [[Grimdark|the Grail War forbids anyone from summoning them as they're near-impossible to control...]] which is exactly what happened in the Third Grail War. The Avenger summoned in that case was Angra Mainyu ([[Skub|or <s>Angry Manjew</s>Aŋra Mainiiu if you want to be pedantic]]), the big evil cheese of Zoroastrianism. The people who summoned him expected a "god of evil", but all they got was some no-name villager that was once used as a scapegoat for "all the world's evil" and was promptly krumped... but the Grail viewed him as a mortal and granted the wish for all the world's evil, dooming the later Grail wars until he was dealt with. F/GO would at least poke fun at their inherent edginess by making them utter dorks when off the clock, and [[Dawww|genuinely viewing you as their friend if their affection was high enough]]. Their revenge ultimately trumps all else, though they'll at least make your death quick and/or painless. Aside Hollow Ataraxia's namesake Avenger, other notable Avengers include Edmond Dantes and Antonio Salieri. Avengers deal extra Damage against Rulers while being countered by Moon Cancers, and reduce their team's debuff resistance in exchange for activating their Noble Phantasms sooner, typically by gaining more energy from getting hit.
