Why do you say non-existent Shirou-Sakura when its actually the most engaging and well written one in fsn, if only because both sides are really unstable and actually reliant on one another to a degree much higher than any of the others?
Not to say I particularly like the pairing or anything, but it's probably the last one that could be called "non-existent".

Plus, Saber deserves better than Kiritsugu

While i agree on Saber's front, i really wouldn't call Rin's "barely-even-a-romance". Rin and Shirou's relationship feels more dynamic, as they both support each other, keep each other in line, and treat each other as equals. This is more intersting, to me, than Sakura's romance.
Sakura feels more like a follower who offers nothing positive to the other side. A burden that Shirou's unhealthy side feeds upon.

But i can understand where you're coming from when you take Shirou's character progression course into account.


Rin and Shirou's relationship may feel "dynamic" but it doesn't feel so much as a romance like an equal partnership as you said, but of friends and not lovers. I mean there aren't any significant romantic scenes besides the graveyard scene and...well, the sex scene, which apparently Nasu realized as well since he crammed a childhood flashback, flirting, awkward moment, blushing, oblivious Shirou, tsunrin and dererin all into the h-alt. There is romance, yes, but it isn't really taken that far. Like they even say in Taiga dojo "Archer stole all the great moments"-they romance is put to the side compared to the other two routes.

The whole unhealthy status of the relationship between Sakura and Shirou is part of what makes it more interesting than the other two, imo, and again it's more relevant to the story and it's themes than Rin and Shirous relationship, where the most relevance to UBWs theme is Rins development from trying to be a pragmatic magus to being a more optimistic person and opting to save Shinji at the end which is development you could argue didn't need the romance to happen.

More the circumstances surrounding it, the relationship in itself isn't inherently unhealthy. Not personality or experience wise anyway.

Depends I guess on whether you think the best thing for a damaged guy is a damaged girl.

Well, i buy Shirou and Rin's relationship more than 70% of romantic relationships in romance anime shows out there, and they sure have tons more romantic scenes than all of F/SN routes combined.
Character interactions can be way more effective as a romantic writing tool than dedicated romantic scenes, when done right, and i felt that this was the case in UBW.

Rin's development in UBW didn't need romance to happen, yes, but i take the effect and consequences of a relationship as a whole to consider it interesting or even relevant to the story progression. Shirou's healthy development in UBW gives way more credit to that relationship than anything that happens between Shirou and Sakura in HF.
While Sakura's influence on Shirou's development was certainly interesting, it definitely wasn't a positive one. I realize that interesting aspects in any story don't need to be positive to be good (F/Z, for example) but it needs to contribute positively, even indirectly, in my opinion, to the romantic relationship. Especially when that romantic relationship is the sole motivation for the main character.

But i digress, "interesting" is a really subjective term. What i may find more interesting, can be more dull and uninteresting, relatively, to you.

Relatively. Shirou would have the mental breaks and the external support to keep him in line, making him seem, at least, mentally well.
