Fire Emblem Pride Week Day 4 - Solidarity

This year's Pride seems rather bittersweet this go around. We, as a community, are, of course, facing a shitton of pushback; no thanks to MPs in my country debating the "existence" of trans/gender-diverse folks, and evil billionaires using their blood money to fund anti-LGBTQIA bills and lawsuits. This, I wanted to be, a show of solidarity with our people, and queer folks across the world.

Cause and Effect

Today for @fe-pride-week we have something a bit silly, that description really is all this fic had going on.

Sorry for the late upload I procrastinated making a title and had to spend way too long trying to think of one.

FE Pride Week - #1: Self-Discovery

<Pairing: Dimitri X Araial (male OC)>

For @fe-pride-week

—

Araial wasn’t used to kindness, especially from anyone around his age. The only person who had treated him with any respect before a certain point was his father - even his own mother had left him behind when he was three days old.

Most nobles were very cruel to Araial. The boy came from a poor family; he was the only child of a single father. He refused to beg for food, instead foraging in the woods, thinking it would help him avoid judgment. Still, the rude looks and whispers continued.

But then, things were different. Someone around his age finally treated him kindly - someone quite unexpected.

The person in question was not just a noble - he was royalty: Faerghus’s own crown prince, Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd. The young prince had defended Araial from his tormentors many times now, even getting into a fistfight with one particularly aggressive bully. And during training, if Araial began growing weak due to hunger, Dimitri would often sneak food out of the castle’s kitchen for him.

Araial was confused at first. He didn’t understand why Dimitri was so kind to him, but he appreciated it.

He more than appreciated it.

He wanted to swear his eternal loyalty to Dimitri, to try to return the favor.

Araial soon realized that he felt more than appreciation for Dimitri. He was unsure of how to label it at first - it felt like love, a feeling described in books Araial had read - but he had never read a book in which a man had loved another man. But still, he eventually realized that it was possible.

People often said that children Araial’s age only had crushes - they didn’t actually fall in love.

But Araial knew differently. He wanted to do whatever he could to return Dimitri’s kindness. He decided to venture into the knighthood in order to be able to protect the prince - what better way to show his appreciation?

Still, he never told anyone of his feelings, out of fear of being ridiculed, or of being rejected.

As he fondly looked back on the past, he smiled warmly at his own worries - they seemed so small now.

Especially since he was now married to the love of his life - the king of Faerghus himself - Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd.

Anything you're excited for in the June Direct?

At the risk of sounding flippant, not especially. I'm just too overwhelmed now with projects. To wit, I'm currently

gathering video footage and getting ready to sit down at the mic for the trans Fire Emblem Pride video;

editing Octopath Traveler porn and angst, because I'm now also a fanfic writer for some reason;

intermittently working through commission projects, mostly on Pokémon;

and anticipating The Thousand-Year Door remake in two weeks, which I won't be making any content on but...you know, it's TTYD. Does anyone not love that game apart from the backtracking?

And of course I'm still keeping up with my offline work. Last weekend especially came with a wild bit of, er, partner swapping (NB: I do not actually have a partner as such), although as a credit to my ability to multitask the experience did give me an idea or two for a particular sex scene in the fic.

I have entirely too much going on to even think about anything else at least until mid-June or thereabouts. Of course that'll probably be when the Direct is, but for now I don't have any predictions. There's also nothing to be hyped about, because as far as I'm aware Nintendo has announced next to nothing yet for the second half of 2024.

Some FE remake news would be nice, or maybe remakes of the Zelda Oracle games? Those could always use some more love, and the Switch Link's Awakening is right there with a style just ready to be copied.

Weary Eyes Hide Nothing

AO3 Ver

Written for FE Rarepair Week day 2: Patient/Hurt (Takumi/Camilla)

Word Count: 2024

Summary: Being forced to sit around doing nothing was absolutely making Takumi go insane - there was only so much a person could take of their own thoughts. At least he could find a safe haven for the night, if unexpected.

It was one of Takumi’s biggest duties to himself to not get hurt on the battlefield. The fear of death aside, he couldn’t handle being out of commission and useless around camp. What good was he to his family if he couldn’t survive on his own? So, naturally, as was expected when Takumi just needed to be good at something for once, he ended up with a broken leg. It wasn’t even from an enemy - he had simply taken one too many steps back and the ground gave underneath him. A few rolls down a hill and he had landed on his leg wrong with too much force. He didn’t need to be a healer to know that the sharp crack and blinding pain meant he had broken his leg from his carelessness. If he just hadn’t been an idiot this never would’ve happened. While he had managed to be rescued before any vallite soldiers could find him and transported back to Corrin’s tucked away castle, Takumi couldn’t be more unhappy with himself. His frustration only grew when Sakura confirmed the broken bone and, while being able to mend most of it through magic, still put him on bed rest for several weeks. He didn’t want to wait for it to finish mending naturally - he needed to get back out into battle, damn it. His little sister was persistent when needed though, and Ryoma was even more stubborn. He agreed on the down time and that was that. Takumi had to deal with being useless for the next couple of weeks. A part of Takumi tried to explain to himself over and over that it was only because they cared, that his family was worried about him. It made sense right? Worried siblings would want to make sure their brother heals right, of course they would. Yet it didn’t matter to the larger more colder part of Takumi’s mind. The side that whispered nothing but harsh words and blackened insults, and spat at the idea of care. By day two Takumi was positive he was going to go insane if nothing changed. He could only spend so much time with himself before it got too loud in his head and reading only helped him stay distracted for so long. Oboro and Hinata tried to help as best they could but they still had training and work to do. They couldn’t sit around making sure Takumi didn’t drive himself crazy. He had other visitors here and there, but most left quickly. They had things to do and Takumi wasn’t in exactly a good mood to socialize. When Camilla stopped by, he had to admit it was a surprise. The only Nohrians to stop by was Leo and Elise - Leo to play chess and exchange book analysis, Elise to babble at him and try to boost his spirits. Takumi didn’t expect someone like Camilla to come by at all but by the end of the evening she was there. “You seem to be cozy all tucked away in here, Prince Takumi,” Camilla said with a smile. She walked over to sit at the edge of his bed, out of her armor for the night. She wore a simple Nohrian style dress but she still had heels on that clicked against the floor. “Having fun resting?” “Not exactly,” Takumi huffed. He glanced up at Camilla from the book in his hands before returning to it. It was given to him from Leo, and while written in Nohrian and causing him to struggle to translate it, it was holding his interest well. Camilla hummed to herself and looked around his room. Her face fell into a frown once she noticed his half eaten dinner. “Not hungry tonight?” To be truthful, Takumi had been having a hard time not gagging at the thought of food so he had just opted to set it aside. “Uh, I got busy reading I guess...” “It’s not good to skip meals,�� Camilla chided. “How else are you going to heal? The bags under your eyes also tell me you haven’t been sleeping.” Takumi left the sleeping comment alone. He didn’t know how to tackle that one without having to explain his nightmares. “I'm pretty sure I can survive one meal.” “I have half a mind to forcibly feed you myself.” Takumi huffed. “Princess Camilla, I’m not going to starve from one meal - and would you stop trying to feed me? What are you even here for?” “I just wanted to check up on you. I’ve been meaning to but Xander has needed me for this and that the past few days.” Camilla ran a hand through her hair. How she managed to keep it so clean and perfect in the middle of a war was beyond him. Takumi nodded. “You’re certainly not obligated to see me. I’m sure you have more important duties than seeing some lousy Prince.” “But I do count this as important,” Camilla said. “You’re a dear friend to me, Prince Takumi, I want to make sure you’re doing alright.” “Well, I’m breathing so that should be enough for you.” A part of Takumi was getting more irritated by the moment, and it was getting difficult to not lash out. He didn’t need to make the tensions between Nohr and Hoshido flare up again because he couldn't control his mouth. “Hmm…” Camilla paused, staring at him. She crossed her legs and rested her head against her hand. “Are you sure you’re alright, dear?” Takumi’s grip on the book’s pages tightened. “Yes, Princess Camilla. Is there anything else you need?” Camilla was quiet for a moment before standing. At first Takumi thought she was finally going to leave, but before he could say a word she was sitting down next to him and pressing against his side. She reached her arms around and pulled Takumi’s head to her chest, squeezing him close. Oh gods, this couldn’t be happening. While soft and warm, having his face pressed against Camilla’s breasts was not what Takumi needed right now. He prayed to whatever god could be listening to not have anyone come in. He didn’t need rumors to spread around and then have an angry older brother breaking down his door. No, he enjoyed his body only having one broken bone for the moment. Though he couldn’t break free of Camilla’s grip no matter how much he squirmed, trapped by her strong arms. “Princess Camilla,” Takumi said, voice slow and even. “Would you please release me from your chest.” “Now, now, don’t get all shy,” Camilla said. “You need to relax.” “I don’t think this is the way to go about this. In fact I would probably be more relaxed if you let me go.” Camilla chuckled. “Just relax dear.” She started to run a hand through his hair, working out all the knots that had built up over the day with gentle ease. Whatever argument Takumi had against this started to break apart at the touch. Camilla’s fingers were cool and felt nice against his skin, leaving sharp trails wherever they touched. Takumi sighed. “Is this really necessary?” “You don’t seem to be relaxing any other way,” Camilla said. “Just let yourself enjoy this.” “The least I could be doing is studying up on strategic theory or something, not letting you pet me like an animal,” Takumi mumbled, unable to help tilting his head as she grazed by his neck. “I’m useless like this so I might as well try to be productive somehow.” Camilla hummed again but the sound was hard and firm. “You’re far from useless, Takumi, you just need to have some patience.” The drop of his title turned the conversation to a different tone, one Takumi couldn’t quite decipher alone. “Your leg will heal and then you’ll be back to being the best archer we have.” “False flattery isn’t necessary,” Takumi grumbled. “I’m not a child in need of his pride being stroked.” “I’m not treating you like a child - although children do refuse to sleep and eat.” A playful tone had taken to Camilla’s voice. “I just want you to relax. Drop your fears for a while.” Takumi grimaced, and tried to pull away again. “Don’t mock me.” “I’m not mocking you.” Camilla’s voice had gone hard again, her arms not budging against his pulling. “Simply telling you to relax. Do I need someone to make a sleeping draught for you?” So much of Takumi was begging to start a fight. Energy buzzed throughout him and over his skin as every inch of his body wanted to lash out, move, do something. Camilla’s arms made it hard though, and the constant brush through his hair made it harder. It was soft and rhythmic, and the part of him that wasn’t screaming inside wanted to comply and do as Camilla said. Rest and enjoy it. “Why are you even bothering with this?” Takumi asked, letting his eyes close. “There’s no point.” “If it gets you to quiet down for a while, I think it has a good purpose,” Camilla said. “Berating yourself is good for nothing but wearing yourself down. At this rate you’ll end up not back to a hundred percent before fighting and will just end up hurt again.” Takumi gritted his teeth. “Well, I would just love to stop but I think I would’ve by now if I could.” Camilla sighed. “I know. But for at least tonight try and relax. Focus on nothing more than right now.” It was tempting, it was so tempting to try and follow Camilla’s advice. A night of rest without a constant thrum running through his body would be wonderful. Before he knew it he was timing his breaths with hers, and letting himself focus on her touch.  Her nails were sharp but feather-light against his skin. It was easier to ignore the urges like this. The pent up frustration telling him to lash out. Takumi started to find a pattern to Camilla's movements. “All you need is patience,” Camilla said. “A bit of patience and you’ll be fine soon. Your leg will heal and… you can work on the rest.” “Don’t belittle me over this. I don’t need to be reminded I hold a child’s fears.” “They are not a child’s fears because you are not a child. You are just a man who has stronger fears than others.” Camilla adjusted to push Takumi into a more upright position. She leaned in to press a kiss to the corner of his mouth. “Do you feel better now?” Takumi could tell he was blushing. He knew it and yet he couldn’t stop it from happening. He chose to divert his eyes instead. “Uh- yeah?” He didn’t mean to phrase it as a question, but to be fair he was a little unsure on where everything was going here. He didn't have much time to focus on the women surrounding him, and that included Camilla. However, he's not going to look a gift horse in the mouth if he's being given one. Camilla laughed, voice high and airy. “Would you like me to stay here for the night, Takumi?” He almost said no. His gut instinct to any kind of help or aid - no, always no. Yet Camilla’s face was too soft for that. Too warm with her smile for Takumi to say no. He starting to realize he was almost powerless here. “If… you want, I guess.” “I’ll take that as a yes.” Camilla let out another small laugh before bringing Takumi close again, lying them back down onto the bed and wrapping her arms around him. The running motion through his hair started up again. After a while, Takumi managed to let himself fall into a doze and curl up closer to Camilla. ‘Patience’ she has urged him. It would require patience for all of his wounds to heal, but at the moment the task wasn’t as daunting as it usually was. Right now, he couldn't even focus on something like that. Only the soft fingers running through his hair and down his back. His breathing fell back in time with Camilla's.

D6 - Pride

OR, the OG lesbians for me feeling the winds across the plains! Seeing their paired ending as a teen really changed something in me, abstract as it was. It felt like something I had always wanted but didn't know I could have, it filled me with hope, and maybe a bit of pride. And for that they will always be iconic to me, no matter how many canon gays we get 🌈.

Tomorrow's the last day of the @fe-pride-week so stay tuned for the last entry!

[kiose]

D4 - Solidarity

OR, the Golden Deer Girls go on double dates (and Hilda has fun teasing Lysithea) Shout out to that one LeoLysi anon that shared their headcanons with me and inspired this entry

We're past the midpoint now for the @fe-pride-week, 3 more entries to go, stay tuned!

D2 - Coming Out

OR, Takumi can't believe he got his ass kicked by a gay girl(?) I didn't stop to really think for sure if Takumi would react like this, I just thought it would be funny (pls don't kill me Takumi fans) Also Hana is nervous cause Sakura's older siblings are acting intimidating

Second day of the @fe-pride-week, you're still on time if ya wanna participate or something

[kiose]

D5 - Diversity

OR, Edelgard isn't really sure what her exact relationship with Byleth is, or her relationship with the goddess... or both...? This idea sounded less silly in my head but I already drew it so screw it, we carry on (based on a text post that I cannot find right now) I know there are things more diverse than a relationship between an emperor and god's vessel, but I couldn't draw 'em

For the @fe-pride-week
