A Fate thread? In the /qst/ catalog? Nani?!

After an end to the hiatus:

You are Anon, an albino man and something of a self-made warrior-magus who can remember only faint vestiges of his past, is unaware of his real name, and is a Master in the Akeldama Great Holy Grail War, which is taking place in a city in an artificial world called Akeldama. Your Servant is Avenger of Red, a winged girl wielding considerably powerful magic who has declined to tell you her true name so far. Most recently you and Avenger teleported toward a staging area for the enemy’s attack, where she had detected an Assassin-class Servant. Charging into a subway station, your pursuit was slowed when you ran into magecraft-enhanced explosive mines and other weapons crafted from the enemy’s hybridization of modern munitions and mystics. Fighting back and inflicting debilitating damage on an androgynous vampire called “Delta” and the Servant Aka no Assassin, who wielded the torture-weapon Noble Phantasm “Phantom Maiden”, you eventually encounter the Dead Apostle Eugene Messerschmidt and the Servant Archer of Black, who arrived as reinforcements. A missing companion, a relatively well-meaning vampire named Sophia, also managed to find you. She wasn’t pleased to find out that Messerschimdt was a commanding officer in the undead army that terrorized the world of Akeldama before the arrival of the Servants. You also learned that Sophia had undergone some kind of transformation since you last saw her.

You refocus your Mana Sight, and when you look at Sophia you can see that her body is densely infused with True Ether. As she takes a deep breath, a large fraction of the True Ether in her body begins circulate and move toward her upper back. In fact, it’s the same part of her upper back where you’ve felt an odd sensation in yours lately, and the sensation returns in earnest as you watch Sophia now.

You shield your eyes as you watch the True Ether begin to physically manifest in a shining white flash. Blinking a few times to clear your vision, you feel as though the ringing vibration of a massive bell is causing your entire body to reverberate.

Out of Sophia’s back are a pair of white wings: shining a pure white light, bright enough to clearly illuminate the tunnel, covered in feathers that make the wings reminiscent of those of eagles, and after a few moments of analysis you conclude that the wings are formed of the True Ether. Taking it all in, a single word leaps to the front of your mind and roots itself there. Right now, you’d have to describe Sophia’s appearance as...
