Ever since Dis Lexic posted their 'Awaken the Dragon' challenge, I'd wanted to do this. A story that pairs Harry with Arturia. Admittedly, I did that already in Ex Umbra in Solem, but that didn't quite feel right to me. This story, however, did. It had a very troubled genesis, and went through multiple iterations, including a crossover with Fate/Apocrypha (a few elements of which made it into My Beautiful Huntress, believe it or not), but eventually, I managed to find the right angle for it.
