10 Fate/Stay Night and Hollow Ataraxia tracks that I adore.
1. Last Piece
An unforgettable moment that is both one of my top 3 favorite endings of all time and might be my favorite character arc resolution. Its name hits even harder with context.

2. Emiya
Possibly the most iconic character theme in Japanese media. There is no track that evokes a higher feeling of hype in me than this one, and each moment it played in is unforgettable.

3. Sorrow
One of the most emotional tracks for me, the Fate route might have some issues and it might not do as much as the other 2 routes, but the ending makes all of that worth it, love Saber and Shirou's story so much.

4. Caren's theme
Very iconic and while it's technically Caren's theme, it actually is more of Angra's theme for me, considering that it plays on many of his character monologues, it's just so soothing to listen to and has a very ethereal vibe to it.

5. Ever-Present Feeling.
Anyone who read F/SN knows how emotional this soundtrack is, it plays pretty often but it will always hit every time it does, each moment it plays in is a big emotional highlight of the series for me.
"But still---- I was not wrong."

6. This Illusion
Another emotional track, every time I listen to it the one thing that comes to my mind is the "Answer" in UBW, both from Shirou's perspective and Archer's perspective, I can't really explain what it evokes in me but it feels like a resolve is being found in it.

7. False Transmigration of the Soul
One of my favorite atmospheric tracks ever, it sets such a unique, creepy and mysterious tone and atmosphere, it IS Hollow Ataraxia for me.

8. In the Name of God
"What other people called happiness--
--Did not bring me any joy."
While it plays in many moments throughout F/SN, for me this track will always be the theme of Shirou and Kirei's final dialogue, and it fits Kirei's character and the situation so well.

9. Violation/Trespassing
This track is what made reading Heaven's Feel so engaging to me, far more than the previous 2 Routes, such a creepy atmosphere that I never really found anywhere else, and it had me constantly wondering what's actually going on.

10. Deep Slumber
This track kind of describes the whole story of Fate/Stay Night for me, it just has that "fate" feel to it. And is overall just a really great track to listen to even without context.

Extra 11. Reunion
Probably my favorite slice of life track ever, I have so many memories with it from Hollow Ataraxia. I can't really describe the emotions it evokes in me. Nostalgia, longing, satisfaction, happiness, it just makes me want to spend an eternity in those moments
