#Corrin x Takumi

[originalfireemblemscenarios]

♠️ Okay, wonderful! For the event, would you be open to writing for a F!Corrin with Takumi and Jakob (separate)?

I would love to see you write something centered around a curse on Corrin...maybe her voice is stolen, her memory of her loyalty to Hoshido/Nohr goes away, she's put to sleep...? Just some ideas. Excited to see what you come up with! ❤️

THERE IS SO MUCH POTENTIAL! I could write so many curse prompts... Maybe I can do it as an event in the future?

Takumi and Jakob with cursed Corrin

Corrin here is female

Starter for both

Corrin had been waiting for some free time to visit the realms and see her two adorable sons.

Unfortunately though her husband was busy handling variety of tasks she couldn't help with... But that'd mean that she'll just have to give her sons twice the attention to make up for it!

Traveling alone to the realms went smoothly. But trouble started once she was heading back.

Suspicious mages were found not far from the portals and naturally she decided to investigate to make sure what their goal was.

To put it simply- she got unlucky and caught. Turns out the group was just beginner mages that liked to play around with curses and Corrin ended up as their test subject.

She managed to fight them off... But she didn't come back unscathed. Although it'd be a matter of time before the curse takes it's effect...

Takumi- Sleep curse

The moment he was done with all his tasks he noticed that his wife didn't come back yet. Which made him worry greatly.

So the second he was notified that she came back he went to see her. He wanted to know if anything happened or if she just lost the track of time.

He happily greeted her and she seemed normal as ususal. She was just as full of life as always.

Suddenly her head started hurting and she felt weak. He immediately caught her in his arms and lead her back to their quarters so she can rest.

"Takumi...? What's happening to me?" it felt scarry to be so helpless. He wanted to lie to himself and say that she was just a little tired but everything came so suddenly there was no mistaking that something else is the cause.

When he helped her lay down he only then noticed a mark underneath a cape on her back.

He immediately wanted to get help, but at the same time he didn't wanted to leave her.

He recalled how he was cursed and he definitely remembered how scary it was. Especially to forget hurting his friends. Luckily it doesn't seem like she'd be under a similar spell.

When she closed her eyes is when he started to panic more. So he immediately went to look for someone who could help.

Fortunately the curse wasn't strong. The people behind it were clearly an amateurs. It was easily broken.

The whole thing didn't last even an hour but he was a little paranoid that Corrin might never wake up.

When Corrin woke up Takumi immediately hugged her like he was never going to let her go. He was dead worried but now everything was alright.

But the happy moment had to come to an end sooner or later, because now they had to take care of those mages before more people get hurt.

Jakob- Memory loss

He was happy to hear that she was back from her trip... But he also wanted to scold her for losing the track of time so easily.

She was acting normal for a moment but then she suddenly started acting confused by everything.

The realization hit him when he spoke to her and she said "Do you know where I am? Who are you?" not being recognized by her hurt more than getting stabbed.

He thought it was impossible for her to not remember him. But there you had it.

She was still just as kind and sweet. Somehow the curse only affected her memories but not her feelings. So she acted a little shy around Jakob like she had a crush on him.

Which was honestly adorable but he didn't wanted her to be like this. Although she didn't lose her feelings, she doesn't know who he was to her. He thought this kind of thing could only happen to someone like Silas, not him!

He was sure it was a curse, what else could it be? So naturally he looked for someone who was more experienced with dark magic.

As they walked around he held her hand and it made her rather flustered, but she didn't stop him or even ask where he was taking her.

It wasn't anyhow an advanced curse so it wasn't hard to get rid of it. Still the whole thing made him angry.

Now that she remembers everything it'd be loveley if she could tell him who had cursed her. In that case he could make sure nothing like that would ever happen to her... Well anyone but he only cared about his wife's safety.

I can hear her heart break into million pieces along with the sudden urge to vomit. Poor Oboro.

Also, we love Takumi&Corrin in this house :3

[overtsexting]

overall i’m less interested in hoshido sibcest than i am in nohr sibcest, because they’re less angsty so i find it more boring lol, but ryokamu’s:

Ryoma: I owe you an apology. I have not been honest with you. Nor with the others. The truth is...I am not your brother.

Corrin: What do you mean?

Ryoma: Exactly what I said. You and I are not related by blood.

[…]

Ryoma: I am sorry I kept it secret for so long, but I felt I had to. It was what Father wanted. He'd never have wanted you to feel like he loved you any less than he did us.

Avatar: So then why are you telling me this now? What changed?

Ryoma: I fell in love with you.

Another cute Takumi post before I go to bed. I made this reel awhile back and I’m still obsessed with it xD

[invaderblitzwing]

OK a little backstory.

Zero and Corrin were out and got attacked. Zero ended up getting hurt so they hurried back to the castle. After his injuries got checked out, Zero and Corrin have a chat. Corrin feels responsible but Zero assures him to not feel bad. It wasn't his fault. Leo and Takumi come into the room to see what happened. Leo being very close to Zero and having a "interesting past" with his retainer he gets upset at Corrin. Then blames him for getting Zero hurt. Takumi however is more in defense of Corrin and tells Leo to chill out.

Credits in the read more:

Corrin: Marth_Emblem (deviantArt) or Lio_Fotia (Twitter) Zero: SciresM, DSX8, Kurokairaku, and Sangabc converted the model to MMD Takumi and Leo: The models were made by the same person but they have privated the file and I'm not sure of the creators name. Stage: KingdomHeartsNickey

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

In regards to the unit identity conversation going around in FE spaces right now i wanted to throw in my general thoughts...

When people say "unit identity" in regards to gameplay, i feel like most people mean how the character in the story matches how the unit plays.

Fates has the best reclassing system imo, because units have to build support with other units to get their class via the friendship and partner seals. Building support levels has another function in that sense, and it's another incentive to experiencing them.

This creates another way supports effect the ways you can play. As for an example, when Takumi teaches Corrin how to shoot a bow in their support chain, Corrin literally gains access bows via the Archer class.

Fates also has heart seals which change the units class based on stats, skills available, personality, or personal background (They also function as partner seals iirc, but that's more of a waste, i feel).

Three Houses, due to its lack of a weapon lock, essentially created a system where "just put everyone in x, y, or z class to make them good" has become some of the most common advice to new players. This problem existed before, but essentially making classes little more than "this one has good stats, this one has bad stats put them in the one with good numbers."

Sure, it allows those "all mage" runs that are fun to mess around with a lot easier, but it also reduces classes down to just their stats. Want to use bow? Bow Knight's a good class, but can always go for Wyvern. Want to use axes? Try Wyvern. Swords? Swords aren't good, at least use lances or axes in Wyvern.

Engage has the same problem. In fact, despite having weapons locked to classes again, it's now even more of a problem (imo). This time the problem is that so many units are incredibly same-y. The difference between Etie and Alcryst is a couple of points in Str and Spd, same for Lapis and Diamant, for Zelkov and Yunaka it's Spd/Res/Str trade.

The characters feel same-y. Unsurprisingly if you watch build guides on these characters from multiple different people, you'll see the same couple of classes recommended repeatedly. Warrior, Wyvern, Griffin. Few Sages and Personal Classes, but besides that, most characters sit in those three.

Although i like the concept of passive skills unique to certain classes, i feel like they're often times incredibly weak. Or don't synergize well with the class itself. High Movement Bow Knight has a skill that increases hit rate when not moving (the one bow using class that can make good use of Momentum and having high movement and being a Cavalry type should sit still??? It's even more offensive because bows don't have particularly horrible hit rates, and bow units typically have decent Dex/Skill).

We can all agree Berserker getting a pretty weak skill for a weak weapon type that the okay at best defense class typically doesn't want to use... might not be a good balancing tool against the other infantry Axe class with Bow access and better caps in Warrior? Or the flying mobility and Lance or Sword access in Wyvern? Or hell, even the Defense from Great Knight? (although this class is another meme pick)

Don't get me started on S rank weapons also being mid, if not outright bad

I think if there were better skills for classes with lower stats (including movement), less weapon access, then that'd be cool. Or they could do a "Infantry classes have lower growths, but higher stat caps. Therefore they've about caught up midgame, and are better for combat late game, but have less utility due to not being able to ride a horse/flier"

If Personal skills were stronger, and units had more differing stats, Weapons/Proficiencies, or had access to more personal class and/or personal weapons, i think i wouldn't care about how easy it is to get into classes, because the units themselves would actually be unique in how you can play them, even if everyone is in the same class.

I mean, look no further than the bow users in Fates, since that weapon type and its weilders have been getting a lot of attention lately. Takumi has a personal bow with crazy might that gives him the ability to move without being impeded by terrain. Niles doesn't have a unique bow, and his class is already represented in Shura, and DLC Anna on the Adventurer route, and potentially Selena and Laslow for the Bow Knight route, but he has access to capturing generic units to fight for you and has stats that definitely differ from all of them.

Setsuna has a basic archer stats, a weak personal skill, and no personal weapon, and is naturally the perfect example of a bad archer. While Reina has good stats and a useful PS that essentially make her Birthright Camilla except with lances and bows instead of axes and tomes (and Kinshi isn't really seen as a good class!). Shura's whatever in CQ, but in RV he has maxed weapon ranks, giving him access to useful Stages ASAP and decent bow chip, especially with his debuffing PS. (Not much to say about Anna except why is she not in the Merchant class by default?? Magic Anna is not more important than Capitalism Anna 😤)

But i'm rambling, so i'll just say that with the unit/class design we have now, i'd rather have limited classes so that we can at least say:

"They may not be the best unit... But they are the best Swordmaster/Bow User/Magic Unit/etc."

(sorry for the length btw!)

[chickenmcnuggies]

Unofficial Gay Fates 1.9 is out! It adds in 23 new supports, as well as dozens of fixes to older supports to bring them up to par.

The videos of these supports have already been up today since this morning, and some of you may have noticed only some of them feature our added voice lines. The mod team decided for the sake of speed and ease on us, that we're dropping the voice lines in our supports, as adding those alone doubles the time it takes to work on each support. In the future once most—if not all—the supports have been added we may go back and add them to the supports that lack them.

As for the added supports themselves:

ROMANTIC: Hinoka x Nyx, Arthur x Ryoma, Arthur x Reina, M!Corrin x Gunter S, M!Corrin x Percy S, Saizo x Shura, Hana x Kagero, Scarlet x Subaki, Felicia x Hinoka, Kaze x Laslow, Oboro x Reina, Corrin(F) x Anna S, Odin x Takumi

PLATONIC: Selena/Elise, Azura/Gunter

PARENT CHILD: Ryoma/Percy PC, Arthur/Shiro PC, Scarlet/Caeldori PC, Takumi/Ophelia PC , Odin/Kiragi PC

SIBLING: Ophelia/Kiragi SIB, Soleil/Caeldori SIB, Shiro/Percy SIB

As per usual it can be found at the Gamebanana page here

Happy pride, everyone!

“Why are you moaning like that? Are you a faggot? A woman?” Takumi slammed into their ass as their screaming turned lewd, ignoring that he was the one who lusted after a man who was called his brother.

Corrin squealed through the cloth stuffed into his mouth, a sound Takumi presumed as that of a whore. They squirmed in place, wrists struggling against his hands that kept them in place; on their knees, shoulders nearly dislocated, pulled back onto his cock.

“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!” He repeated over and over, yelling at not only Corrin but also himself.

He knew that if either of them got any louder, one of his other siblings would surely hear them and come to investigate before he could finally prove that this Nohrian stranger they were all enamored with was no member of their family. After all, what kind of freak would want to fuck their own sibling? Corrin may have been a degenerate or a freak, but he definitely wasn't. That meant Corrin couldn't be his brother. Corrin was too tight around his cock to claim to have any Hoshidan dignity inherent to the royal family. Their ass was too soft, too welcoming, pulling Takumi's cock in deeper and deeper as he fucked the man in front of him; the nobody who his family was obsessed with.

Yet, still, he wanted to be even deeper. He wanted to reach deeper than anyone ever had or ever would again. To leave his mark so far inside of them that they could never pretend to have shame or dignity ever again. To make everyone see that this man was nothing and he had been right all along.

And that thought, triumphant vindication, made him come.

He breathed. In then out as him cum flooded Corrin's ass. In then out as he marked them as a whore who couldn't claim any nobility. In. Out. He breathed.

As Takumi pulled out, he released Corrin's arms and let them fall onto the ground in an unkempt heap. Their crimson eyes were hollow as they stared forward at nothing in particular, tears smeared across their cheek. Red and white dribbled out of their gaping hole and pooled beneath them in a small puddle. There wasn’t a shred of nobility in the way their limp limbs sprawled out around them; Hoshidan or Nohrian.

A small, manic smile crept across Takumi's face as he stared at them. This pathetic display was all the proof he needed to validate that this person couldn't be related to him. After all, no sibling of his would allow themselves to be reduced to such an undignified state. No one with the blood of Hoshido in them would tolerate such disgrace. Even if his entire family wanted to continue pretending, he had finally confirmed the truth he'd always known with his own hands.

But if this person wasn't the long lost brother his family had been hoping for, then they were just more Nohrian scum sneaking into his kingdom during a war. Where their true intentions laid was yet unknown, but Takumi knew better than to allow them to continue roaming free.

Instead, he thought they'd make a fine prisoner. Even if the rest of his family was fooled and allowed them freedom, he would be their ever vigilant warden to ensure they never threatened his kingdom. And if they did? He would be the first to capture them and show his siblings he'd been right all along. He would punish them. Personally.

And that thought made his cock stir.

Omg the "breath catch" in the camilla/leon support is killing me ajdjwkd HE ACTS SO DIFFERENTLY WITH HER... i was originally drawn to leon because of his frankly inappropriate married convo with kamui at the nohr festival of bonds but it goes so much deeper than that... thank you for answering my question!! <3

oh my god i loVE their festival of bonds convo it's so funny. he's so turned on by the fact that he married his sister without technically marrying his sister. coupled with the fact that kamui is frankly the only s support partner he actually has any chemistry with............. that man is a siscon through and through.

i skimmed through that comic book earlier and there was a little more siscon leon actually (with bonus siscon takumi):

there was quite a bit of other vaguely shipcesty things too lol. like m!kamui being sad that he's not close with takumi, so soleil ropes nina into helping. a looooot of camilla x corrin. its quite fun loool

[dirtyoldmanhole]

before we hit ch25, the last few lines of this one are pretty nutty in an emotional implications way.

corrin's fam is a bit fucked up, y'all.

(that's a roundabout way of saying mikoto's growing on me in a big way this playthrough.)

if you successfully run through this stealth level, possessed!mikoto tries to trick you with the last door. I'm pointing this out to show the increasingly more blurry line of possession as these last few levels go on. corrin's starting to get the idea, thankfully.

don't always take them at their word, basically. watch the actions.

(ignore the different corrin/player character, i had to snag a screengrab off of a let's play.)

... geez. that's chilling.

when you add in all of the more autonomous(ish) possessed characters together (mikoto, takumi, gunter), you start to see common patterns with how anankos presses on their psychic wounds.

mikotos, as you could take a gander with the last post, craves more time with corrin. her mother's instinct gets warped in a way that anankos can bend in a way that (nearly) guarantees corrin's destruction.

i find it interesting that her psychic wound here mirrors her magical barrier with how she drains nohrian troops of their will to fight. 'surrender/stop resisting/in the name of (twisted) love'

(I can't talk much to takumi's possession/his psychic wounds as much other than a 'yeap looks like anankos really whacked hard on that competitive/insecurity nerve there. but it does look quite consistent with the other two.)

mikoto's boss fight is up.

.... the massive spoiler that (one of) mikoto's lovers was human!anankos (aka corrin's bio!dad) just hit me, actually.

this whole exchange is exceptionally twisted with that in mind.

corrin defeats her. before we hit her actual death scene, you get the items, if you had completed the stealth level successfully.

(gunter's line here is a throw-away in the great scheme of things, I'm pretty sure it's nintendo throwing one last hail mary of sorts to the denser players of 'hey remember this guy, he's about to be very important wink wonk')

(also, imo, it's not a coincidence he keeps randomly showing up whenever corrin's parents are involved.)

corrin's starting to get it.

mikoto's hoshidan children get a chance to huddle around and say their good-byes before she dissolves into the water bubbles that signifies complete "body is dead" anankos' possession. (water being the element he and the other vallites are heavily linked to).

speaking of, we get a revelation ba dum tishh here....

in terms of plot twists, this one's actually not that surprising. nintendo's kind of wearing a little thin of 'oops actually royal of x country' twists but this one makes more sense with how mysterious corrin's past is.

no shit sher-

........ uh

w-w-what are you doing here sir

i am pretty sure i did not see you in the screenshot .02 seconds before when mikoto got vaporized

(why are you all alone there too that's kinda really ominous)

uh

uhhhh

you're standing kind of close man

(seriously though, analyze all the other screenshots and he's always a respectful body-length distance away from everyone, especially corrin. the difference is an immediate big fat "!!!" subconciously even if it doesn't read as well in the screnshots)

..........

..........NOT OMINOUS AT ALL NOPE

whyisthiskindofhot

corrin babe

you might want to talk things out with your hubby there justsayin'...

BECAUSE

this is the brilliant bit about the complete and fucking total shift into 'camera's weirdly all the sudden treating your psuedo daddy gunter like a villain what the fuck' (the visual equivalent to 'why do i hear boss music all the sudden')

we find out in about two chapters that gunter has a burning decades long nursed hatred of royalty (for not unjustified reasons) (but)

combine that with the 'gunter lowkey always holding some kind of romantic/??? unresolved pining for corrin' (especially if you're coming from conquest headcanons)

with

the knowledge of anankos hating corrin's guts and willing to twist anyone dear to her in some pretty depraved ways

.....

if your reaction is 'oh geez. that suddenly got some real fucky undertones real quick'

YUP

OHO YUP IT SURE DID

gunterfuckers know what's coming up next >:)

[teaveetamer]

True, the lords in Engage can't really carry the plot and only Alfred and Diamant are popular. Heck, the most popular ship Alear has is with Alfred and saying it's popular is an overstatement. Compared to bombs like Chrobin, the Corrin x Royals and Dimileth, it's really small in terms of content.

I wouldn't say Ivy and Timerra are necessarily unpopular. The Nintendo Dream poll ran like two weeks after the game came out and the ladies are also later recruits that people might not have gotten yet.

I also believe that the four lords are all interesting and strong enough characters to carry the plot... they're just never given anything to do. Alfred is relevant until you get to Brodia and he's relegated to peanut gallery status in favor of Diamant, then Diamant is relevant until you get to Elusia, then Ivy is relevant until you get to Solm, and then Timerra is relevant until you're done with Solm, and then she's relegated to peanut gallery status along with the other three royals in favor of Veyle. And even when they are relevant, their presence in the scene is always secondary to Alear's presence.

Like I'm not gonna sit here and rewrite every scene of Engage but I think if the lords were allowed to have more conversations with each other in the main plot then I think they would have been a lot more compelling to explore in a transformative sense. Like imagine getting to Solm and Diamant and Ivy are constantly bickering, or Ivy is throwing jabs at Diamant that he's trying to be polite about, or something like that and their relationship eventually evolves into them putting their differences aside or apologizing to one another and resolving to work together. Or if upon arriving to Brodia, Alfred criticizes Brodia for being at war with Elusia all the time and Diamant gets to respond to that, and they have their differences on the matter despite getting along personally. Or if Timerra joined up and was initially distrustful of the other three (I mean Solm does seem to be kind of wary of everyone else based on some of the info we get) but over the course of the next chapters she starts opening up to everyone more and more.

But yeah, just checking through Engage's AO3 listings the ships seem to be relatively scattered this time around.

And again I think this plays into the fact that Engage doesn't really have a lot of big, centralizing side characters. Like Leo and Takumi were both great, compelling characters individually and they played off each other well in a pair, so it's not really surprising that they wound up being the biggest Fates ship in the long run. Same deal with Felix and Sylvain.

Self-insert ships tend to get a lot of attention, but self-insert ships also don't appeal to a lot of people for various reasons (personally I never really like reading self-insert fics because we all self-insert in different ways, and I find it jarring when people's characterization varies wildly from mine... which is most of the time). If the self-insert ship scene is all you have, then you're going to lose out on a major part of your potential fandom audience.

Have you read my Xander x Charlotte fix yet?

I’ve actually edited chapter B so I hope you haven’t so you can see the changes first

Thing is, in game, my ships for Fire Emblem Fates are

Corrin x Silas

Ryoma x Mozu

Xander x Charlotte

Leo x Nyx

Elise x Takumi x Oboro (I just can’t pick)

But outside of canon,

I actually also ship

(Fem) Corrin x Charlotte

And (Fem) Corrin and Mozu

I really like the idea of Charlotte and Corrin’s dynamic

Charlotte is a woman who is purposely perceived as delicate and soft when she’s actually a cold badass of woman

Corrin has been casted into the role of a leader and a warrior when her true nature is a sweet innocent darling

So they’re kind of opposites

And I can imagine Charlotte getting close with Corrin as Corrin sees and appreciates Charlotte for who she really is.

And Charlotte slowly loses interest in chasing men in favor of the one girl who understands her (who’s also royalty)

I just really wanna ship Corrin with girls, like I also ship her with Mozu cause they’re neutral mutuals and they have similar backstories in losing their moms

Plus it’s that princess and a peasant girl dynamic

You like?

Not to mention, Corrin was kept ignorant of her true past and now suddenly has to content with the dire fact that she was abducted from her family! Part of what I liked about FE: Fates was the fucked up part where Corrin has to choose between her birth family and her adoptive one. I can see her siding with her adoptive family since her siblings were so kind to her and loved her as if she was truly their sister, but I also liked the flavor of angst Revelations introduced in that Corrin rejects both of her families and has to fight them to end this war. It tugs at my heart strings to see Corrin fight big brother Xander, and Xander struggling to hide his emotions and be the strong heir that Nohr needs.

I actually ship Corrin with Nagito Komaeda from the Danganronpa series lol! They even have twins (both Kanas). But for in-universe ships, I like the Corrin x Silas ship! I just like Silas in general, tbh. He’s like that golden retriever boyfriend who never gives up on Corrin.

And omg a rivalry between Xander and Ryoma! I love this crossover with Pokemon in which Ryoma goes into battle with Zekrom (a black dragon that attacks with lightning) and Xander meets him in battle with Reshiram (a white dragon that breathes fire). The elements of the dragons mirrors the elemental energy of their swords!

Charlotte has shocked me since I first encountered her in the Nohr route. I loved her dichotomy in that she can kick someone’s ass thoroughly and still play the cute card to get what she wants (money). And I loved how the writers gave a pretty legitimate reason for it--she only wants to support her family! And a female fighter who can rip people to shreds with her axe? Hell yeah! I love her little animation where she tosses the axe behind her and does this cute little curtsy thing and plays with her hair. She’s just all around a very good character to play with, and while I haven’t played the games in a long time, I remember that she was one of the heaviest hitters on my team.

Personally, I liked shipping Corrin with Lilith, but then Lilith dies no matter what lol

I also like the idea in a modern AU of Corrin splicing up her week to spend with her Nohrian family and her Hoshidan family. It’s quite chaotic.
