Shirou, in turn, goes on to, if not actually become Archer, then at least have a very similar life. In spite of this, they never forget about each other; she never stops waiting for him, and he never stops pursuing her, and in the end they're rewarded for their devotion by being reunited in Avalon.
It's incredibly touching. Saber actually cries tears of joy, and well, it was hard not to join her.

Okay, I did not see that one. But that is a nice ending too.

I have a very hard time seeing it as a Good Ending (and indeed, it's not. Just like Sakura's, it's called a True End). I mean, yes, Saber got to die peacefully and Shirou moves on with his life... but I really do have a hard time seeing any ending where two people fall in love only to be separated mere days later as anything resembling 'happy'. HF Normal ending is worse, granted, but Fate's True Ending is not exactly a barrel of cheer and I'm glad that Realta Nua changed it.

Fate was a bitter sweet ending. It was sad that they had to say good bye to each other, but they both had the experience of loving each other. Saber learned what it was to be a real person, a real girl.

Yeah, you totally answered your own question there.
