Rendezvous

More Saber and Gil :)

Some of my ships and fandoms.

I have more but I wanted to give these love recently, hehe.

Ahem.. welp it’s been almost 2 years that I’ve been obsessed over this pairing… and that’s the main reason why I want to contribute anything that makes this ship still working lmao. 

[Some of you may know that I recently made a lot of Gil x Saber fanarts, I also write a fanfic about them (but I have no idea to continue it)..] 

Anyway I want to make a honest opinion about how I feel, since I don’t have any friends that into this ship but I guess there’s a lot of fellas out there that loved this pairing too :” #sadlife

I know there’s A LOT of people that against this ship, and said that this ship is unhealthy (apparently yes bcs in F/SN main routes Gil is a colossal dick corrupted by grail but…) let’s see on the other side…

Tbvh, I used to ship Saber with Shirou when I watched F/SN by studio DEEN back then (when I was in elementary school) but now I’m currently an University student that already mature enough so my taste and the way I think may altered. Without further ado, here’s my opinions:

 They look good together:  

Both of them are blonde -> (actually that’s my main reason why I liked them bcs I like blonde characters).

Height Difference : Their height difference is about 28 cm (Gil=182 cm, Arturia=154cm). You know that every tall guys need a short girl (and vice versa) lmao.

Gilgamesh is portrayed as a handsome pretty boy (especially when his hair down) compared to Shiro (just a plain highschooler boy). All of us know that Arturia is a beautiful girl so, shipping her with Gil would make a picture perfect couple lmao.

      2.  Gilgamesh is faithful and Shiro is a two timer

In the VN, Shiro has different love interest due to different routes. In FSN he may loved saber but in UBW he loves Rin, and in HF he loved Sakura. Knowing this facts, I rather consider Shiro and Saber’s relationship just a master-servant in professional way.  He doesn’t deserve her! lol.

At the other side, Gilgamesh the prideful arrogant bastard ,King of Heroes is faithful for keeping his promise that he waited for her for almost 10 years and still has desire towards her.

      3.   Foe-Yay:

 We already know that both of them are destined to against each other as enemies at the end of F/Z episode where both of them fighting to death to obtain the grail, there’s a scene where he stabbed her leg with his sword and  propose her. It’s kinda messed up and awful in real life..but at the other side I started to think “shipping them maybe interesting” then, i checked out some fanarts and eventually stumbled into their r-18 doujinshi yum.😳

     4.  A lot of materials and Ideas

Well, there’s a TON of fan materials that involving this ship and it’s quite varied from love-hate relationships, tsundere-tsundere, foe-yay, r-18, etc. It’s depends on the situation. Infacts this pair is one of the most popular ship within fate franchise and a lot of Japanese ppl seem to liked this pairing too.

5. Their Voice Actor & Actress often playing couple roles

(source:tumblr)

Also, Saber’s VA (Ayako Kawasumi) has a major crush on Gilgamesh and choose his seiyuu (Tomokazu Seki) as a partner that she liked to collaborated with.

Bonus:

(Recently i found there’s a Japanese cosplayers of Gil & Saber that married each other and cosplaying at their wedding reception).

at comiket 86 there’s TYPE MOON booth named :

Eden on earth

starred by Arturia in Avalon & Gil in Babylon.

that means even TM themself lowkey makes this ship canon lol.

Yup these are my main reasons, it may not covering the whole thing but I just want to write something like this, I’m okay if you don’t agree with my opinions, well every person have their own opinion and their preferable ships, we should respect every opinions and once again please forgive me if my English skill is not good enough, i’m not a native speaker and I’m still learning.

Winged! Valkyrie Arturia is heavily influenced by Gwendolyn from Odinsphere(do check her out she’s so beautiful and sad) along with my deep obsession with wings uwu

Four times Gilgamesh is woken up, and one time he wakes up first.

…

…

Enkidu leaned down, concentration edged on his features. He extended his arm forward and, even though Gilgamesh’s form was half-hidden under the blankets, he managed to poke his cheek with incredible precision.

His best friend didn’t react at all.

Enkidu wasn’t discouraged, and repeated the action, this time adding the sound of his voice.

“Gil.”

Again, no reaction, and again, Enkidu didn’t let it faze him.

“Gilll.”

There was no change.

“Giiiiiiiilllllllllll.” Two pokes accompanied his call this time, and since there still weren’t any results, he decided to try to change the name on purpose, “Billllllllllllll.”

Gilgamesh grunted, clearly displeased even as he kept sleeping, but didn’t open his eyes.

“It’s eight in the morniiiiing,” Enkidu insisted, without success, because his best friend didn’t budge.

Understanding that he needed to switch to other tactics, he casually said, “Oh well, I guess I’ll have to tell Ms. Fujimura and dear Arturia that you’re not coming to school today.”

The next second, Gilgamesh bolted up from the bed, eyes snapping open and expression fully alert. And what was presented to him was a smirking Enkidu who was holding up his school bag and a pair of socks.

“I made the eggs sunny-side up today, and you’re going to eat them,” the green-haired boy announced, knowing that otherwise Gilgamesh would once again leave without breakfast.

Yawning audibly, Gilgamesh brought a hand to his hair, unconsciously tousling it even more, and grumbled.

…

……

…

Arturia had been told that Gilgamesh was taking a nap in his tent, and since her skills at cooking were non-existent, Enkidu gave her the task to go wake up the ‘Sleeping Beauty’ while he finished grilling their lunch.

Cautiously glancing inside the flaming red tent, Arturia found Gilgamesh fast asleep, half his body under the blankets and the other half hugging them and the pillows close. She had to suppress a small smile when she noticed that his usually impeccable hair was a mess, reminding her of a bird’s nest, albeit a strangely blond one. It also looked soft, and she had to curb the sudden impulse to pass her fingers through the sunny strands.

While she was staring, he turned around in his sleep, taking the blankets with him, and as he did so his t-shirt pulled up, revealing part of his bare back and even showing her a hint of his boxers peeking from his pants.

Realizing how inappropriate and nosy she was being, Arturia shook herself and after taking a cautious step inside the tent, she leaned forward to shake the sleeping boy’s shoulder.

It did not seem to have any effect except for making him bury his head inside the blankets. Arturia recalled that Enkidu had warned her that waking up Gilgamesh could be extremely difficult, and therefore shook his shoulder more firmly.

Gilgamesh groaned.

“…just leaaaaave,” he mumbled, his head completely disappearing among the blankets. She almost chuckled at the childish image.

Clearing her throat, she attempted to call his name.

“Gilgamesh? Gilgamesh, wake up.”

His head partially emerged from the sheets, and his expression told her he recognized her voice, but he also seemed to believe he was dreaming.

Her crouched position starting to become uncomfortable for her, Arturia kneeled down next to him and extended her arm to shake his shoulder again. He shifted in that same moment though, and her hand landed on his bare arm and the blankets instead.

She was slightly surprised to notice how warm he was and how comfortable the blankets seemed to be. Had she had the time to indulge in it, she probably would have felt tempted to lie down on those soft sheets and fall asleep as well. She had however more than enough control over herself to not give in to such a desire and, what was probably the real reason why she wouldn’t do that, she was hungry.

Before she could do anything else though, Gilgamesh shifted again and his other hand came to grasp hers, tugging at it.

“Come back to bed, Arturia…”

Her face became the same colour of the tent, and she pulled back immediately as Gilgamesh instead hugged the pillows more tightly. This was becoming awkward, especially when her mind unhelpfully pointed out how adorable he looked when he nuzzled the blankets with his cheek.

“Arturia,” he whispered, and as a small smile appeared on his lips, Arturia cleared her throat again, this time more loudly.

“Gilgamesh – it’s time to get up.”

Still slightly red-faced, she watched as he seemed to realize that her voice was coming from above and not from the blankets in his arms.

“…huh…?”

He finally blinked, turning to look in her direction, and his crimson eyes met a pair of green ones looking at him expectantly.

Once again, she felt the urge to ruffle his hair when he sat up, the bird’s nest looking even more dishevelled now.

Since he was awake, she lowered her voice and her tone was gentler as she repeated, “Wake up.”

It was then that she noticed how close their faces were, because he blinked again upon feeling her breath on his skin.

“Why are… you… here?”

“Enkidu told me to wake you up for lunch, since food is almost ready. Come on now.”

His expression was odd, and he seemed lost in his thoughts, clearly wondering if he was still dreaming.

Proving how much eloquence he possessed in that moment, he muttered, “Hmmm,” before shaking his head a couple of times, sleepy haze finally leaving him.

Now fully awake, he directed a small smirk in Arturia’s direction, as she had stood up in the meantime.

“You could have stayed in that position, I didn’t mind.”

She abruptly tried to take a step back, but before she could stumble on the mess of blankets, he grabbed her arm, to simultaneously steady her and pull himself up. His bangs fell into his eyes, and his brought a hand up to disentangle his hair.

Arturia made sure to keep a little more distance between them and tried to change the subject.

“How long have you been asleep, by the way?”

He yawned.

“Not very long,” was his elaborate reply, and she raised an eyebrow.

Her eyes were however drawn to his t-shirt, which she noticed had still remained up as he was napping, and her raised eyebrow went even higher.

“Show some decency, please,” she scolded, and while he did pull down his t-shirt, he looked supremely unbothered.

“It’s not like I wanted it to roll up,” he pointed out, legitimately. “I move when I sleep, if my clothes don’t follow it’s their own fault.”

Arturia had a flash of the black boxers she had seen just a few minutes before, and huffed to hide her embarrassment, while Gilgamesh appeared to be oblivious and stifled another yawn.

“Come, everyone must be already at the table by now, and I will not let all the barbecue meat disappear before we get there.”

Knowing very well that a hungry Arturia could be dangerous, Gilgamesh made an effort to contain his amusement and followed her without objections.

…

……

…

When he got a place of his own, Gilgamesh had believed his unpleasant mornings of being forced to get out of bed at ungodly hours were over, especially since he had refused to settle for a lowly flat and had instead chosen a huge mansion to reside in.

He had however forgotten the very important fact that Enkidu had rented the mansion next to his, and that his best friend considered it his mission to wake him up himself.

When Enkidu waltzed into his bedroom for the fourth day in a row at seven in the morning, using the spare key he had given him himself and turning on some loud rock music, Gilgamesh managed the impressive feat of inventing a string of new, extremely creative curse words while still not being completely conscious. 

After only a week, he decided that, no matter how much he loved his best friend, there were limits to what he was willing to tolerate, and perhaps a slightly smaller but more isolated flat wouldn’t be a bad idea after all.

He pondered over that particularly appealing thought with a smile gracing his features, since he was considering proposing to Arturia soon.

…

……

…

He woke up slowly, his mind not completely conscious yet, but he was aware of a strange yet not unpleasant sensation that seemed focused on his head.

It took him several minutes to start feeling more coherent, and even longer to realize what the unknown sensation was, especially since he refused to open his eyes yet.

A small, soft hand was gently caressing him, fingers going through his hair without hesitation but making sure not to accidentally pull on it. Even though he did not open his eyes, Gilgamesh couldn’t help letting his lips curve into a slight smile, for he knew those hands very well, and he knew the warm body attached to them – and currently in his arms – even better.

Without making a sound, he leaned forward slightly and nuzzled her neck contentedly. She chuckled softly, her movements stopping for a second before resuming with a barely noticeable hint of eagerness.

His smile widened. His precious Arturia knew that he hated getting up early in the morning, and when it was inevitable, for example on specific days in which they had to take a flight, she made sure he woke up in the most pleasant way possible.

…

……

…

Arturia was woken up by some small sounds coming from the stove.

As she opened her eyes, blinking rapidly to wake up fully, she realized why those sounds seemed to be so close: the evening before, she and Gilgamesh had fallen asleep together on the couch. Looking around, she saw that someone had draped a blanket over her. She smiled faintly.

As she turned towards the man in the kitchen to thank him, her words died in her throat as she noticed that her husband – who wasn’t even facing her as he casually yet expertly moved the food and plates – was wearing an apron.

And not a random one but a frilly one. He gave her a smirk as he briefly turned around, but didn’t stop in his work, silently conveying the fact that he was almost done and was going to bring a tray to the couch for them both.

I mean like a fic idea where the apoptoxin cure is found but Shinichi is just a total disaster at being grown-up again. Here’s my idea, but of course there must be Kaito, so the setup would be something like this:

The Black Org is done with. Kaito’s gunmen going down too is optional. In that case, Kaito still organizes heists bc they’re fun, and a nice way to expose forgeries and his targets’ dirty laundry. Haibara is close to the cure, so the number of tests increase and Conan gets to be Shinichi more often. Mostly he stays hidden and under observation, preparing to return to his former life. Haibara, for once spending more than a few hours in Shinichi’s presence, soon realizes that this. Was. Not. Going. To. Work.

Shinichi is terrible at being Shinichi. He keeps slipping into a high voice and waving his arms, not even to draw attention to himself but because that’s what kids normally do in any interaction. He keeps doing a hundred different Conan-typical things, and on him it just looks weird. Anyone of his friends, heck his classmates, would see something’s up.

Also, Ran has not been told about the double identity debacle because frankly she’ll fucking eviscerate him if that ever comes to light. Haibara gently insinuates Shinichi is a dead man if he straight-up returns to living at the Kudo mansion and spends more than a week in Ran’s presence. Shinichi demands a second opinion. Agasa agrees. Hattori comes over and gives a thumbs down. His parents visit and give the death verdict in like 30 seconds flat. 

Shinichi: “How even-”

Yuusaku, hand on Shinichi’s arm like he’s talking to a slow child: “Son, you’re sitting on the counter swinging you legs and holding a cup with two hands. A cup.”

So it’s decided Shinichi needs time to readjust, and a new place to do it at. In fact, there’s a whole list of requirements: 

a different school so his behavior can be passed off as quirks or a recovering head injury or something

a residence a bit away from Beika, they can’t have Ran meeting with him every day

he needs someone to help him catch up in school

that someone should preferably be sharing the same workload and even class so they can keep an eye on Shinichi

+ if they can find someone who can be passed off as a cousin

+++ if that someone is quirky enough themselves that Shinichi will not rank as the biggest weirdo in class

+++++ if it’s someone who can understand the situation and keep secrets

Shinichi’s parents exchange a look and are like ‘whatvs, might as well’ and make some calls. Shinichi’s story is that he’s been working on a big case while also becoming a target, so he had to lay low and put his life on hold and just as they cracked the case open he received a head injury so he’s recovering at a cousin’s in Ekoda. Conan went back to America. Everyone in Beika more or less buys the story.

Predictably, it only takes one glance for Shinichi and Kaito to have realizations. Yuusaku and Yukiko are having the time of their life watching shit hit the fan. Eventually things calm down, Shinichi could already care less about arresting KID (he’s just in it for the chase), Kaito spends like 10 minutes in the presence of a calm Shinichi before he sees that oh boy this guy needs some serious behavior adjustments and reluctantly agrees to a housemate, while Shinichi questions what life choices led to Kaito KID, of all people, making sure he appears normal. I mean okay, maybe Kuroba hides his KID persona under a facade of a normal- nope, he’s just as extra. How is this his life.

Anyway, this was all the setup. What I wanna talk about is the shenanigans Shinichi gets into and the “quirks” he’s gonna have. Here are some! (Feel free to add ideas, maybe you’ll inspire me or we inspire a third party to write). Okay, here go the Conan things Shinichi keeps doing:

holds beverages with two hands

speaks in a high voice and simplifies his speech

slips and calls people his age nii-san or nee-chan

“A-re-re!!!”

“I saw it on TV! …Wait no, Hawai- no! Uhm.”

holds conversations with his whole body (swinging and waving hands, swinging back and forth on his feet, enthusiastic nods, smiles too wide, scuffs shoes, pouts, hand gestures, hand clapping)

once there was a thing on a high shelf and he kept hopping in place until Kaito asked what his problem is, Shinichi is mortified bc he was waiting on The Adult to notice his struggles and help

covers behind people to avoid attention, which looks ridiculous since he’s the same height as most of them

when there’s a problem to solve, he keeps nudging other people instead of just providing the answer himself

fails a few exams at first bc he’s not used to doing so many complex academic questions in such a short time

his hand hurts from taking notes in class

combine a suddenly high-school workload with having to catch up on the missed material and he’s exhausted and napping all the time

the first time there was a roll call, he raised his hand and shouted “Haaaaiiii!” in a really high voice. Instant embarrassment, but also helped everyone in class establish that he is indeed suffering the effects of some head injury and they need to be Understanding and Considerate

trips sometimes bc long legs

keeps fidgeting with his legs when he’s sitting, not used to them touching the ground

on that note, sits cross-legged anywhere he can, including school chair

Shinichi leaning back in chairs and being surprised when his head isn’t supported

Shinichi trying to hide how he went to sit knee first, like he was gonna climb the chair

the confusion on his face when he sat on some thin surface and it couldn’t hold his weight. Kaito laughed for days

throws himself on couches and beds, breaks the bed support at least once

“Shinichi, you have bruises on your butt.” “Well excuse me if I forgot, normally when I fall on it it’s not that high- don’t laugh!”

Shinichi, butt sticking out of a vent where he was trying to reach a lost cat: “I may have miscalculated.”

tugs on people’s clothes when he wants to get their attention, also keeps leaning in to whisper in their ear jfc Shinichi

must not hold hands when leaving house, must not hold hands to keep together in large crowds

keeps running/skipping to places if he’s excited

generally has to stop from skipping when in a group bc he has long legs now, he can keep up by just walking

keeps squinting at everything, bc it’s not that easy to get rid of glasses even if you didn’t have a prescription

on that note, eyes keep watering bc he’s gotten used to the UV protected lenses

eyes also water from the wind

also he always forgets to squint if he’s going through some shrubbery or cobwebs, and then suffers when it pokes him the eyes

he either keeps adjusting his nonexistent glasses or Kaito has to pluck them off his face bc he forgets he should not be wearing them

asks someone to hand him something already within reach

drags a chair over so he can stand on it while washing dishes

“Shinichi, why did you put all your clothes on the bottom part of the wardrobe?”

“Fix my skateboard, the battery goes out twice as fast.” “Yes, because you’re twice as heavy.”

just out of nowhere starts (very badly) humming kids’ songs 

gets ridiculously happy about his morning coffee, black no sugar

“You need to eat more vegetables, Kaito.” “Oh my god you’ve been brainwashed.”

actually tries the puppy eyes on people. Sometimes it works.

forgets to shave

may ask Kaito for waxing tips because it’s weird to see so much hair on his legs and living with Kaito just might be skewing his perception of normal

Shinichi, like, finding nothing weird about responding to a classmate’s plea through a bathroom door and going to retrieve her school bag with pads in it

has to be reminded to pay for himself when in company

“Kudo-san, where are you going? That’s the kids’ section. The men’s department is this way.”

“No sir, that ticket price is for children up to 12.”

gradeschoolers love him and somehow he usurps Agasa as the Detective Boys’ favorite hangout person

somehow gets on great with Aoko and her 3rd person speech

Hakuba can’t decide if he’s a genius or brain-damaged (probably both)

Akako can’t decide if he’s a death god adept at concealing his magic or just the bitch of one

Ekoda and Beika police throw down at a KID heist at 3am over which days they get Shinichi’s detective skills. Beika wins custody battle on the grounds that Ekoda already has two mascots while they lost one

Ran is glad her friend is back, but she hopes he gets well soon because that head injury really messed him up

Sonoko dislikes Kaito on first sight, ever since he first tried to win her over with “such a cheap party trick, he thinks I’ll fall for just any magician"
