The route chosen to cause all events of Fate/hollow ataraxia to be the official sequel to Fate/stay night was indeed the Fate route, with Saber being the love interest of Shirou in most situations. Although the Kinoko Nasu himself has responded that Fate/hollow ataraxia not appear to follow a particular route from Fate/stay night, that it was written in a non-serious manner and still said 'ItРІР‚в„ўs best if you donРІР‚в„ўt think too much about it' when questioned about its place in the timeline, there is a route that fits with the storyline of the plot of Fate/hollow ataraxia and meets all the requirements to completely make this possible. To get everything you need to know really what is the route considered РІР‚ВcanonРІР‚в„ў that gave rise to the events of Fate/stay night to continue with those of Fate/hollow ataraxia. To better explain how was the events of Fate/hollow ataraxia, you must know several things about the storylines of both Fate/stay night and Fate/hollow ataraxia to understand why the state of things were so different from those seen in the three previous routes of Fate/stay night (Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven's Feel) for Fate/hollow ataraxia became the direct continuation of Fate/stay night and is considered canon.
