#Asbel X Cheria

[annon-guy2]

Tales Series: Romance Couple Voting Poll

[itfitsitshipsart]

Desert Date

The name doesn't quite work, but... it works enough. Evelyn struggles to keep in the shade in the desert.

(S/I) X Malik Ceasar

-

Evelyn squinted up at the sun, its powerful rays beating down upon the party.

“It's sooo hot…” Cheria whined, a sentiment everyone was feeling at this point. She shielded her eyes and looked around at the rest. Pascal was no longer bright and chipper, speaking only in hushed mumbles. Sophie leaned heavily against Asbel, and he and Heubert stood with sweat glistening on their brows. And Malik stood as stoic as ever, sweat beading on his arms and exposed chest. She watched as Evelyn slunk a half step  closer to him, and was now under his shadow.

“I bet the captain makes for some nice shade, doesn't he Princess Evelyn?” She commented with a smile. Evelyn glanced away, her face read, possibly from the heat.

“Yeah. I mean, he's tall enough and broad enough for me at least.” She pushed up her glasses.

“You've been standing in his shadow almost the entire time we've been in Strata, haven't you?” Asbel tilted his head. Cheria nodded.

“Now that you mention it, Asbel, she has!” 

“I don't want to get sunburnt,” Evelyn stated. “And I burn really easily.”

“Well the captain won't be able to help you much in a few hours.” Heubert crossed his arms. “The sun will only get stronger as it goes higher, and soon our shadows will be directly below us.”

“Heccudahumadm…” Pascal mumbled.

“What?” Cheria and Sophie both wandered closer to the girl, leaning close to her slumped figure.

“Heccudahumadm…”

Cheria's eyes widened, “Pascal, they can't do that! It would be impractical and…” her voice trailed off.

“Do what?” Heubert raised a brow. Cheria shook her head, blushing.

“She said the Captain could just drap himself over her to shade her then.” Sopie translated.

“Like this?” Malik stepped behind Evelyn, putting his arms around her. He leaned forward and rested his chin on her head. Evelyn's face reddened further. “It would work… but I can't say it would be ideal for travel or battle.”

“Yeah…” Evelyn closed her eyes and leaned back against him. “I'd hit your gut if I tried to draw my bow, and I don't even know how you'd throw your blade.”

“I suppose I'd have to hold you in one arm, and you'd have to move with me when I throw. And you'd be limited to your magic.”

“Wait, they're actually planning to work like this?!” Heubert exclaimed, and watched as the two further discussed their plans.

“Looks like it.” Asbel nods. “But I guess that's the Captain and Evelyn for you. They work so well together.”

“...yes, I suppose you could say that.”

[almightyrozenidiot]

W, T, C for the fandom thin- wait i swear the letter order is coincidental I was reading from the bottom up shshdjdjd

Shinji Hirako behaviour

W - Fake dating. I think I'm just too aroace for it and P5 absolutely put it off the trope entirely for me. I know there's other tropes I hate but I had to wrack my brain really hard to find this one fdlshgjl

T - All of my 'x character is autistic' headcanons are the ones I'll die defending. I have way too many to list any specific examples lmao

C - This one is tough because there's several I don't like but don't want to expose myself for not liking fldhgslgbslbgds I'm gonna go with a classic and say Cheribel. More power to you if you like it but I think Cheria deserves a lot better than what the narrative gives her. It sucks that in L&L ends up reducing her from a someone actively trying to help as a frontline medic/nurse to pining for Asbel, and completely forgets the fact that if it wasn't for Sophie, she would have likely died from her heart condition as a kid (I think it's acknowledged in like, one skit but it's been so long that I honestly don't remember). I don't know who I'd want her to be with but she at least deserves someone who treats her better than Asbel did. Plus L&L still gives us a bunch of Richass moments when they want us to ship Cheribel - intentionally or not.

[idiots-of-ephinea]

Cheria: "This is my husband, Asbel."

Cheria: "And this is Asbel's boyfriend, Richard."

[incorrecttalesquotes]

Hubert: So what’s it like dating Cheria?

Asbel: Once, I asked her for a water while she was pissed at me, and she brought me a glass full of ice and said “wait.”

[tales-of-vesperia-headcannons]

Not a Vesperia post

You cannot play or watch Tales of Graces and tell me that Richard isn't gay. Richard, the gayest prince, literally died in wall bridge, and Asbel saying "stay with me" was what basically brought richard back to life and even in the skits before, richard and Asbel are so gay for each other but Asbel is just a confused bisexual that he doesn't even fully realize his feelings for both Cheria and Richard.

Oh yeah and there the skits where Pascal pretty much knows how gay they are

It's fantastic, the reply value on the game is so good. Especially growing up with it vs. Rediscovering it now

[tumblezwei]

Tales, 13 and 15!

13. Most shippable character

Oh fuck uuuhhhh Velvet. That's what happens when you're a tsundere toward every single one of your party members, all your ships become enemies to lovers.

15. Favorite poly ship

Asbel x Cheria x Richard

Asbel has two hands and Richard being alone makes me sad

[katscomicart]

I ship it.

[mewnia]

One piece of art done with trying to get out of this block! I decided “Hmm it’s been a while since I drew Graces.”

It’s technically a redraw from this old drawing I found!

Fic rec bingo list!

I thought I’d fill out this fic rec bingo card, posted by @lightveils on Twitter!

It sort of turned into the History of MachineQueen in Fanfiction. All you unsung heroes who write and publish fanfic, I love you and remember your names.

Recs for Fire Emblem Fates, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Yu-gi-oh, Doctor Who, RWBY, Ace Attorney, Tales of Graces follow!

1. A fic you love without knowing the source material

Undone - codenamecynic, Dragon Age II, E rated, Fenris/Female Hawke, multichap 135k words

https://archiveofourown.org/works/482156/chapters/838851

I know nothing about Dragon Age and can’t remember why I decided to read it. TV Tropes maybe?  From what I can tell it’s the events of the game with additional sex scenes. Hawke is witty, Fenris is a tragic broken bird, I was sold.

2. A fic with a premise that shouldn’t work but it does

Trial and Error - undieshogun, Fire Emblem Fates, T rated, Subaki/Takumi, multichap 15k

https://archiveofourown.org/works/6890677/chapters/15719992

Not so much a premise but a ship I wasn’t convinced on. But it had Subaki in it so I gave it a try. It’s really cute - Subaki tries to teach Takumi social skills, much to his annoyance. 

This line alone is gold star characterisation:

"I couldn't tell you why Tsubaki has taken such a liking to you, but I do know that any time he wants to befriend someone, it's because he sees in them something he lacks."

3. A fic you’ve reread several times

Gratitude - GoldenThreads, Fire Emblem Three Houses, T rated, Hubert/Ferdinand, multichap 8k

https://archiveofourown.org/works/20344273/chapters/48239686

The writing style is so beautifully layered that I find new meaning every time I read it. The scene where Ferdinand offers a hairpin for each story Hubert tells is gorgeous, one of my favourites to reread. 

4. A fic you still remember many years later

A Song I Think I Heard Before - Scribbler, Yu-gi-oh, T rated, Mai/Jounouchi (Joey), multichap 40k

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5924028/1/A_Song_I_Think_I_Heard_Before

My favourite Mai fic. This gives her a backstory with Dartz based villainy and recontextualises her relationship with Jou (Joey in the dub, most YGO authors used the JP names to distance themselves from 4Kids’ added cheese). I was on tenterhooks waiting for each new chapter. It’s got real emotional depth, capturing Mai’s cynical nature perfectly. Also I still think about/use the phrase bumblefuck in the morning. 

5. A comfort fic

just a little stuck on you (you’ll be on me too) - flowermoons, Fire Emblem Three Houses, T rated, Hubert/Ferdinand, one chap 33k

https://archiveofourown.org/works/21875707

This brings the cast of FE3H to the modern world and drops them into reality TV show The X Factor. There’s no war or death angst, just a singing contest. I grew up with The X Factor on TV on a Saturday night so this was a delight. Like me, the author is cynical about reality TV which makes the fic even more engaging. Ferdinand mourning his long hair after he cuts it and Hubert running round London looking for him really made my day. 

6. A catharthic fic

Long and Lost - Windian, Tales of Graces, M rated, Richard/Asbel, multichap 36k

https://archiveofourown.org/works/5357546/chapters/12372899

Listen game, you can’t spend 40 hours having the protagonist’s motivation as ‘save Richard’ and then pull a no homo on me! In this fic Asbel dutifully marries Cheria only for the whole thing to collapse in on itself when he realises he’s in love with Richard after all. The snow storm scene is something I’ll always remember.

7. A fic you’d like to print and put on your bookshelf

Revival series - MyAibou, Yu-gi-oh,  T rated, multiship, many k

http://fanfiction.net/s/2681684/1/Revival-Prologue-Paradox

This is split into multiple parts and has another multipart followup. A continuation of Yu-gi-oh Duel Monsters with shipping and very decent original characters including villains. My polarshipping heart is in love with this scene on the clifftop in part 2 chapter 11 - a slow dance to the sound of the waves to help Mai remember she isn’t alone *melts into a puddle*

8. A fic you associate with a song

Who I Am Hates Who I’ve Been - darkrunner, Yu-gi-oh, rated K+, Mai/Jou, multichap 9k

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4445992/1/Who-I-Am-Hates-Who-I-ve-Been

It’s titled after a song. This was one of the first fics I ever found, read and loved. I was way too shy to review but I loved this author dearly. Good old angst & hurt/comfort with a happy ending. A happy ending for Mai was all I wanted haha!

9. A fic that inspires you

Patience, Ponies and Pastries - GoldenThreads, Fire Emblem Three Houses, T rated, Hubert/Ferdinand, multichap, 27k

https://archiveofourown.org/works/20722859/chapters/49231019

A shipping fic where the two characters being shipped spend most of the fic apart! This author is so good at characterising the pair, there are treasures hidden throughout. I never thought reading about horses of all things could make me so emotional... 

And this passage from Ferdinand’s point of view:

As long as Hubert did not truly reject such affection, did not throw him in the stocks for his bleeding heart, then he did not require reciprocation. He required that Hubert be cherished, and that was that.

10. A fic that brought you on board a new ship

Marik and Bakura Go To Censored Town - Little Kuriboh, Yu-gi-oh, M rated, multichap, 24k

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6954805/1/Marik-Bakura-Go-To-Censored-Town

I spent most of my Yu-gi-oh fandom life wishing there were more fics about Mai and tended to avoid the big slash ships. However, Yu-gi-oh Abridged’s strongest pair were always Marik and Bakura. When I read this fic I realised yes, Marik being an idiot and Bakura being the straight man (not literally) makes this ship sing.

11. A fic you wish could be a movie

Denial & Deception - Bohemienne, Fire Emblem Three Houses, M rated, multichap, 74k (incomplete)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/20895731/chapters/49671050

The setting of Derdriu is so lushly described that it would make a wonderful movie setting. Additional points for the masked ball chapters! 

Hubert and Ferdinand infiltrate the Leicester Alliance using a fake relationship. It goes as well as you might expect. There is comedy, there is romance and the whole thing makes you want to smack Hubert round the face with a fish. 

12. A fic that led to you making friends with the author

Past Future Continuous - HermitsUnited, Doctor Who, T rated, multichap 20k

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4917490/1/Past-Future-Continuous

We are not in contact anymore but we shared a love of Donna Noble. This shines through in all her alternate season 5 fics! 

13. A fic you’ve gushed about IRL

Festering Under Your Skin - Bohemienne, Fire Emblem Three Houses, M rated, multichap 52k

https://archiveofourown.org/works/20465312/chapters/48559553

My poor gf had to put up with me going on about this one. Lady Edelgard is dead and Ferdinand is a Blue Lion who spares Hubert. All of this is played for maximum dramatic potential. Special marks for the scene where Ferdinand accidentally poisons himself with Hubert’s coffee. So brilliantly in character for both of them. And excellently foreshadowed earlier in the fic where an imprisoned Hubert keeps asking for his coffee... 

14. A fic you associate with a place

Heart of Defiance - battlemage15, RWBY, M rated, multichap 150k

https://archiveofourown.org/works/7896874/chapters/18038116

I downloaded this to my phone and read it on the top deck of the number 6 bus as it bumped along the country roads of deepest Devon. I was on my way to job interviews in the city and the trip was 2 hours long. The fic itself is a Yang centric shonen power fantasy that goes to pretty dark places. 

15. A fic that made you gasp out loud

Blood and Ink - ShowMeYourFury, RWBY, M rated, Cinder/Ruby, multichap 45k

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11754595/1/Blood-and-Ink

This fic is ruthless with Cinder’s villainy. Every time you think she can’t go any further, she does. I love it. 

16. A fic you found at the right time

Forward - Lyricanna, Fire Emblem Fates, not rated, multichap, 34k (incomplete)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/12747516/chapters/29075913

I love the concept of this fic so much. Subaki is selected to be a Hoshidan ambassador in Nohr and gets lumped with Niles as a guide. Neither is having a good time. There is a plot going on involving kidnapping and asassination that forces them to work together. 

17. A fic that you would read fic of

The Obligatory Hot Spring Scene - Scribbler, Yu-gi-oh, T rated, oneshot, sub 1k

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6368612/1/The-Obligatory-Hot-Spring-Scene

Written as though the characters are actors and canon is a TV show. I love this concept and would read more in a similar vein

18. A fic that made you laugh out loud

Surrender To Your Peace - spiralpegasus, Fire Emblem Three Houses, M rated, Sylvain/Felix, one chap, 11k

https://archiveofourown.org/works/20757260

“This is very unfortunate,” Dimitri says with a frown. “As the leader of this mission, I will take full responsibility and use the Swamp Bedroll.”

One does not simply sacrifice themselves to He Who Saw The Bottom Of The Earth And Lived with such a cavalier attitude. “You know your guilt complex doesn’t actually have to extend to sleeping in a gross swamp bag,” Sylvain tells him disbelievingly.

“I agree, Your Highness,” Dedue says, setting He Whose Stench Haunts The Dreams Of Man down on the ground with a delicate sort of distaste. “None of us need use this… bedroll.” He says bedroll the same way he says food when it’s Flayn’s turn to cook.

19. A fic with a line or two you’ve memorised by heart

one sentiment enlightens to another - newamsterdam, Fire Emblem Three Houses, G rated, Hubert/Ferdinand, oneshot 6k

https://archiveofourown.org/works/21074840

Ferdinand rolls his eyes. “Of course I do, Hubert. I remember very well. I just— well. Perhaps I’ve overestimated you.”

Hubert, who has spent the better part of the past few weeks believing he constantly underestimates Ferdinand, bristles.

Not the exact lines but I always keep this in mind when writing the ship. I think these hit on the fundamental misunderstanding between the two characters. Hubert is only human, not some all powerful hero/villain. And Ferdinand isn’t stupid just because he’s honest and emotional. I think the two of them have trouble getting their heads round these concepts!

20. A fic that gave you butterflies

Ataraxia - Windian, Tales of Graces, T rated, Cheria/Pascal, 13k

https://archiveofourown.org/works/7828981/chapters/17871247

"I want you," Cheria tells her, and the night catches like a rubber band. Her hands are in Pascal's hair, Pascal's arms around hers, her mouth on hers. Their kisses are sloppy and messy, noses knocking against one another, but it's everything and it's nothing at all like kissing Asbel.

When they break for air, Pascal tells her, "You don't know how long I've wanted to do this, Cheria."

Cheria asks, "Why didn't you say anything?"

"I dunno Cheria, because you were gonna marry Asbel, maybe?"

It stops her in her tracks. Voice low, she asks, "What am I going to tell him?"

Pascal cups either side of her face. Kisses her, so hot and hard that Cheria's left seeing stars, clinging at the strings of Pascal's swimsuit like a shipwrecked sailor to a spar.

"Screw it. Think about it in the morning. For once in your life, do something you want."

21. A fic that embodies something you value in life

The Truth About Love - MistressAkira, Fire Emblem Fates, T rated, Niles/Subaki, 2k

https://archiveofourown.org/works/12036081

This fic is experimental in style - the author descrbes it as a soliloquy. The sentiment I take from it is that love is compromising, inconvenient, illogical. Yet it’s still something beautiful and something worth fighting for.

22. A favourite AU

Mobius - SirTeateiMoonlight, Xenoblade Chronicles, T rated, multichap, 17k

https://archiveofourown.org/works/17845748/chapters/42111473

Melia finds a copy of Xenoblade, plays it and knows exactly what’s going on in the story. She uses this knowledge to her advantage. It’s a slippery slope. By the end of the story she’s mercilessly torturing Lorothia against her brother’s wishes. 

23. A fic you’ve stayed up late to finish reading

Dirty Sympathy - ideny, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, M rated, Klavier/Apollo, 130k on AO3 not sure on kink meme

https://bludhavens.livejournal.com/88397.html?thread=41790541#t41790541

https://archiveofourown.org/works/1075868/chapters/2160789

I stayed up reading this until 4am and for some reason (probably tiredness) confessed this to my not-yet-gf. She cites this as one of the moments she fell for me!

It’s a dark fic in which Klavier and Apollo are both in abusive relationships with villains. They concoct a plot to implicate the two of them in criminal activities to escape and fall for each other along the way. 

24. A fic that made you feel seen

i knew you were trouble - Magepaw, Fire Emblem Fates, M rated, Niles/Subaki, 8k

https://archiveofourown.org/works/19314568

First of all the title is one of my favourite songs. Second of all the dialogue is everything I want from the Niles/Subaki ship. Third Subaki’s pegasus makes her presence known. Fourth there is a gory battle scene and hurt/comfort gone wrong. And fifth, a happy ending. 

Niles had to turn away, hand pressed to his mouth, before his own blush betrayed him. This was too good to last. This had to be the most embarrassingly vulnerable moment of his entire life, and of course the entirety of the Nohrian and Hoshidan military combined had to be there to see Niles go soft. 

[mcalhenwrites]

A-16, B-9, C-8, D-5, E-3, F-9, G-22

Thank you for the ask!A-16Favorite Kid CharacterMao is my favorite, but following him: Elize, Anise, Sophie, and… does Lambda’s flashbacks count to add him to the list?B-9Favorite Found Family(haha you know me well!)Oh, I’ve got a couple of found family dynamics I really love. One is the Xillia party, with Rowen taking an almost grandfatherly affection to Elize and Leia, and Alvin finding a place among everyone, and Elize giving him that sweet kiss on the cheek and telling him that she’ll be his friend… The other is from Graces, where I half-heartedly OT3 Asbel with Richard and Cheria or just have him single (I don’t have any diehard Asbel ships tbh so I’m rather loose with him and actually prefer him single)…but Asbel being Sophie’s dad, and in an AU, Lambda’s dad. I think he’d take good care of those two. Asbel x dadisms is my true ship!C-8Favorite Plot Twisttbh I never pay attention to these much, so this is a tricky one… But I think I can list one that stands out to me.Finding out in Regulus Knoll that Farah wasn’t truly responsible for the events in Rasheans. I think that hit me hard. D-5Favorite BuildingOhhh this is tough only because I keep thinking immediately of all the places in Fennmont! I love the shop hub, Orda Palace, and Talim Medical School. Oh, and the hotel is nice. The interiors and exteriors of all the homes in Nia Khera, too! The spirit artes used to decorate the outer parts just make it so gorgeous and rustic, and the insides really feel like the kind of inviting place where - if you ever found yourself lost and stumble into some random village - all the townsfolk will make a space for you to eat and sleep among them and it would be homey. :)Oh, and I love the palace in Kanbalar, it’s absolutely beautiful inside. The same goes for all Auj Oule inns, as well. They’re fucking gorgeous, from the textiles to the light fixtures. I’m in awe each time I go inside of one.And the mayor’s house in Hamil! I feel like I could live a very rustic life out in a place like that, and be pretty happy!(Yes, these are all Xillia, I think it has my favorite architecture out of all the games!)

E-3Well this E3 was fantastic, I got all the things I wanted from itFavorite Mystic ArteJade’s Indignation hits high, but he’s completely knocked out of the park by Max’s Elemental Master. That shit is so ridiculously funny in English, I spammed the heck out of it for kicks. “ELEMENTAL… BWHAHAHA!” Jade’s is just impressive in another, less goofy way. :’DF-9Favorite openingTales of Innocence! Specifically not the remake! “Follow the Nightingale” with those visuals was amazing… I loved it so much.Some worthy mentions: Eternia, Zestiria, Graces, and Rebirth!G-22Favorite Halloween costumeOh, this is tough. Meredy, Rita, and Jude all come to mind!I think Rita’s #1 though, simply for nailing my favorite Halloween aesthetic
