How cute she was, acting so innocent and shy. She had merely asked the other girl about her experiences, yet here she was blushing up a storm. It was almost endearing. 

It was if.... No. Not someone this cute. Not someone this pretty. Is Ayaka was in her time she would have been snatched up the moment she was old enough, if not by some man then by her. 

Send me “+” and the name of a character if you want me to write how things would go and what their relationship would be like if that character summoned mine as a Servant in the Holy Grail War, whether in place of their canon Servant or in general.

First things first, he is not fooled for a fucking second about what she’s really like.  That being said, he doesn’t see the full extent of it, and he wants to prove his mastery enough that he tolerates her.  Barely.

She falls for him because you cannot have Manaka and not have her crazy in love with someone.  In this instance, she falls for him because he’s such an unwavering, confident, effective, and overall benevolent tyrant that she can’t help but become enthralled (a.k.a. that A+ Charisma Gil totally has actually does the whole “akin to a curse” thing it’s supposed to).  This does nothing to endear her to him.

Gilgamesh and Ramses II get along fairly well in their battle due to their respective egos letting them understand where the other is coming from, even if they disagree violently over which of them is correct.  Gilgamesh spends much of the fight using the Gate of Babylon to counter all of Rider’s various monsters, but eventually comes to regard him highly enough to use Ea upon him.  This naturally brings the battle to an end and eliminates Ramses from the War.  Otherwise, he and Manaka breeze through this war as easily as he and Ayaka would breeze through the next one.

Given that Gil has a soft spot for kids, he’d probably treat Ayaka well if they met.  If any crush were to develop to parallel canon, it’d be here.

((ooc: shamelessly stealing the way you answered this, because that was a cool way to answer it.))

The actual summoning would be as grand and ostentatious as the one it would materialize.  Expect (harmless) explosions, loud noises, and golden light aplenty.  Gilgamesh isn’t too impressed with Ayaka during first meetings due to how normal she is, but he’d probably be partial to assisting her because I think he’d still consider her more beautiful than the women of Uruk.  He wouldn’t fall for her immediately, but that combined with potential interesting things would cause him to accept her.  Lancer is driven away easily as a result.

Gilgamesh is still in the War just to prove he’s the strongest and because the Grail’s still a treasure, but he makes no secret of how dubious he considers the whole thing.  They get along like oil and water at first because she’s a fairly rational girl and he’s Gilgamesh, but he still advises her with pinpoint accuracy when it becomes necessary to preserve her.  This doesn’t stop him from breaking her glasses whenever she gets too uppity for his liking, though.

He joins her school at her behest, if only so she can make sure that he’s not getting into too much trouble without her supervision.  He uses the opportunity to become super-popular and needles Ayaka without actually causing problems for her, so she doesn’t really have a way to retaliate.

Despite how incredibly they clash at first, they start to grow relatively closer as they learn more about each other.  She gains an inkling of why he’s such a shit, and he starts to see who she could be becoming reality.  If he was summoned by Manaka last war, he grows a bit more considerate towards Ayaka after realizing what that meant his Master likely went through.

They get through the Holy Grail War on a rocket surfboard.  The poisoning is no issue because Gil still has the antidote, and even if he didn’t he’d probably have several other treasures that would have worked in its place.

Archer Alter never materializes due to Gil being an Absolute Existence, and thus cannot be tainted.  Everybody besides him is kinda vexed by this.  Manaka pouts before just throwing her hands in the air and sending the Beast in to do its thing.

Final battle is…weird.  And awesome.  But so weird.  Gil finally bites the bullet and uses Ea, so Ayaka wins…technically.

He smirked at her answer.  What he said had been no lie; he was not blind to his own nature.  He made no apologies for it, and had no intention of changing himself for the sake of the plebeian’s sensibilities.  The flaws were just as much a part of him as the virtues, and in his own mind, they made those virtues all the more glorious in comparison.
