#General of Fire - Laegjarn

[rhynerd]

A thought came to me and I had to make it into a diagram:

The contents of it shall be typed out under the keep reading:

A venn diagram of two characters. To the left is Jaylen Hotdogfingers from Blaseball, with art of her created by @mleelunsford next to her circle. To the right is Laegjarn from Fire Emblem Heroes; art of her Sheathed Steel version attacking is next to her circle. In the center of both circles is the following:

Magically burned to death

Came back with a debt

Murdered a god while on their team

Previously forced to help somebody burn people to death

Lead a place

Got a lot of alternate art

FEH OCs Part 2 out of ???

Disclaimer: I am going off of my memory, so I will probably miss or misremember several things. This time we're going through the characters introduced in Book 2 (and a little more).

Fjorm: I think she's alright, she apparently has a burning hatred for Sutr, but I never got that vibe from her. Also, it took like 3 years for Nifl to claim her life as she did the rite of ice. Which is weird, but at least it got addressed.

Gunnthra: Fjorm's big sis and she's dead. I think a lot of people forget that part, just like I forgot a lot of her character. Girl deserves to be in some forging bonds, she hasn't been in one since the event dedicated to the Nifl Royal family.

Hrid: Same as Gunnthra, except he's not dead and is ruling Nifl. I feel he could use some more alts or forging bonds events. Also, he tried 1v1 Sutr, but it didn't work out. A for effort though.

Ylgr: I like the kid, she's thrilled to be a hero and go on adventures with her siblings. I also like her relationship with Helbindi, it's the typical tough guy and wide-eyed kid, but it's cute. Also, her weapon is called Sylgr and I find that amusing.

Laegjarn: Caught my attention with her relationship with Laevatain. Gotta enjoy sisterly bonds and all that stuff. Although, I don't understand why she and Fjorm are friends. They barely knew each other and were on opposite sides, then she died and was forced to fight for Muspell. Not a lot of opportunities for meaningful conversation unless it's off-screen.

Laevatain: Imagine being named after the sword you wield, Sutr is a shitty parent, but that's not news. She's reliant on Laegjarn for strategy and planning, but her sister is dead and she is in charge of Muspell. I worry for her.

Helbindi: I feel bad for the dude, he lost his village and sister, and then dies protecting Veronica and Ylgr. One of his castle lines mentions that he doesn't feel he belongs here. Anyways, Duo hero with either Ylgr or Mustafa for him.

Sutr: Generic evil fire guy, and that's fine. He has a kickass design and that one speech where he talks about burning people alive. Kinda disappointed he's not in Book 3 considering there was a xenologue where we got to see Sutr in Hel.

Loki: How are you not a Legendary/Mythic Hero? YOUR SISTER IS ONE. Not crazy about her design though. Also, I'm expecting her to kill the Summoner (Norse mythology is the basis for that claim). Nifl: I don't like her design, it doesn't feel wintery enough to me. Although, I would like to know more about her first love and see her pre-muspellruinedmylife.

Muspell: Not crazy about his design either, his Flame Tribe alt is great though. He doesn't feel as intimidating as Sutr, which is a bit sad. I would like to see him and Nifl singing Snow Miser vs Heat Miser.

Squall is wrapped in a comfortable warmth as Laegjarn envelops the soldier in her arms and cape, Muspell's Princess and General placing a lingering kiss on her scar. "Happy birthday, my darling." She had procured some new attachments and implements for Squall's gunblade, imbuing with more fire magics. "How would you like to celebrate?"

"Oh. Right. Today is the day, isn't it?" She'd completely forgotten, she didn't really celebrate her own birthday much frankly. She enjoyed the embrace and the kiss at her scar. Sometimes forgetting that it was there. Always a constant reminder. "Oh... Wow... I don't know what to say, Laegjarn... Thank you. I uh... Don't really know. Never been one for celebration, you know? Hehe..."

Expiration

CW: violence and character death

[ao3]

A skirmish against Muspell forces a retreat, the summoner uses a newfound hero out of desperation to try and cover their escape. The damage caused is not just limited to their enemy.

(Thank you to my beta readers (who were fed 2nd hand lore that I'm sure was incomprehensible). I shan't forget the polite comment "I'm not trying to be mean, Lark, but The Order of Heroes is a bit on the nose-" to which I responded "Oh, that's the name in the game. I didn't come up with that.")

“Lucina!” Chrom’s voice barely pierced the din of battle. He could make out his daughter’s fluttering red and blue cloak from across the battlefield. The lord threw himself between a blow, parrying the lance to the side. Like clockwork, the princess lunged forwards, pressing the advantage with a thrust. The soldier fell. They had but moments to themselves. She turned to him, the brief smile on her face quickly disappeared. His expression said it all.

“We’re falling back.” Lucina breathed. “I thought-“

“The summoner is sending reinforcements.” Reinforcement. He didn’t like this plan. He knew Lucina would like it less. He didn’t tell her. “But we have to leave now.”

“Alright, father.” Her brow furrowed. She heard his voice shake. The urgency in it. He was withholding something but now was not the time to press.

Mages aided in their retreat, flinging spells and hexes as cover fire. The lords weaved between, leaning on each other, Falchions rattling in their scabbards. They reached the backlines, battered but alive. Few advanced to meet them past that point busy with preparations, save the clerics. A set of familiar pigtails bobbed over to meet them. Lissa hurriedly flitted between them both, stave flaring with light. Exhaustion had already begun to seep into Lucina’s bones, despite the magic. She could barely understand what was being said. She found her eyes unfocusing and drifting as Lissa launched into a speech about stitching bones back together. The princess managed to pick out a familiar black robe from the crowd, hood up, setting a steady pace back towards the fight. She called out to him.

“Robin! W-“

Her words fell on deaf ears. He didn’t even bother meeting her eye. The back of her neck prickled. Chrom placed a hand on her shoulder, his grip tight.

~~~

The sky had begun to darken. Múspell forces waited. Their position remained fortified. The Order of Heroes had failed to break their defence. They would retreat, wasting resources and leaving themselves open to a counterattack. Princess Laegjarn had advised them as much and she was certainly a sound tactician. They had nothing to fear. Even so, the wyvern rider held her lance upright, remaining attentive. Her mount shuddered, suddenly restless even after the heat of battle had faded. She placed a gauntlet to the side of its neck. This did not console it. The beast seemed actively unsettled now, head bowed, whining. The realisation dawned on her slowly, accompanied by sweat beading her brow. It was too dark for the hour. Of course the wyvern would have known this, his domain was the skies after all. She looked up, fear constricting her throat.

By the gods, it was as big as the castle.

The archer saw a lone figure break the crest of the hill and nocked his arrow. The troops vaguely recognised him, he fought for the order, clad in a black, purple and gold robe. He was a tactician. Despite this, they saw no troops. It was curious, he held no flag, not that they would have accepted a surrender. What was he to do?

The arrows loosened all at once, arcing through the air. The man made no move to block them save raising his arm to shield his face. The arrows bit into him. He wore no armour and yet he remained standing, as if his skin itself was resistant. Discomfort rippled through the ranks. He advanced, annoyed scowl present from under his hood. The general barked for them to fire again. It must have been a spell, some sort of enchantment to stall for time, it would fail eventually. The soldiers drew their bowstrings back once more. Suddenly, they halted, their nerves faltering as the sky was overshadowed. The clouds began to part. Some tried to flee. It was already too late.

A long, black, snake-like neck descended in segments. Six draconic red eyes locked their sights on the battlements. The dragon’s head extended, following the scattering troops tauntingly as they tried to escape. A deep rumble emanated from its throat - eerily akin to laughter. The man once known as Robin extended his hand, a ghost of a smirk playing at his lips. The fell dragon opened its glowing maw. A jet of ash-like dark energy burst forth, reducing all in its path to dust. The castle crumbled from the onslaught, debris shooting into the sky from the impact, raining down in chunks on the mounted troops who abandoned their positions.

The archer awoke, ears ringing, unable to move. He spluttered as he tried to draw breath, tasting blood in his mouth and finding his front slick with it. He was trapped beneath part of a parapet. He tried to laugh despite the situation, delirious from blood loss, certain to die here. And even if he didn’t, deserting the army would result in his execution. He had no options. His fate was sealed. He could hear the deliberate crunch of boots on the earth. The man - if he could be called that - was coming closer, snarling as he tore arrows from his robe. He was bleeding too, barely. They locked eyes. Beneath the hood he could see they were just the same as the dragon’s - burning with malice. Nothing was said. There was nothing to say. His fate was sealed. They held not the power to stop him. The assailant continued onward and the dragon continued to destroy, carving dark scars into the earth.

The remaining wyvern rider urged her mount to fly lower, praying her position was obscured by the ruined fortress. In her mind the army were now akin to insects, powerless. Ants had cracks to crawl back into where they could not be found. She currently had no such luxury. Her mind raced. She barely understood what was happening. She spurred her wyvern towards the cover of the forest. That was their only hope.

The fell dragon watched them go, his wounds catching up to him now. He inwardly cursed his frail mortal body. He extended his hand one last time. Ultimately it did not matter whether she escaped or not, the damage was done. Dark spikes burst forth from the earth, gaining on the woman fast. Wyvern and rider swerved desperately as one. The dragon’s breath found its mark, barely, the beast’s wing torn from its socket with a sickening snap. Soldier was knocked from her saddle, the world melted into a dizzying mess of shapes before fading to blackness.

The dragon’s vessel finally took a knee, breathing ragged. A deathly silence hung in the air. It was done. It was, in fact, more than done. The summoner had only sought to cover their retreat. Instead Grima had done more - claimed the keep. Or what was left of it. Despite his addled memories keeping him from assuming his full power he had laid waste to them all the same. He briefly mulled over the summoner - they had promised to support them in the pursuit of power, an endeavour that may save their life in the future. He paused, jerking to attention as two pairs of footsteps approached. The dragon had not been alarmed by the advance, but nor did it attack. Instead, it bowed its head low to the ground so that all its six eyes could bore into them, outlining them in red.

Her voice trembled. “You-!”

Grima turned to the lords and huffed. Lucina stood, Falchion clasped in both hands, and despite the intensity of her grip the blade shook. Chrom stood next to her, lips pursed, gaze troubled, one hand on his own blade. He was the only thing giving her the strength to stand. A version of her father, who may as well have been a ghost, providing a glimmer of hope that things could be better here in Askr. It was pathetic. Grima was certain his own presence undermined this ideal to some extent. Grima circumvented the pair, the dragon half receded into the clouds. He tugged his hood up and pushed past them. The summoner’s choice of company would certainly be a thorn in his side.

Nice to meet you, I am ‘D’. Contrary to popular belief, no, I am not Laegjarn of Muspell.

I’m moving my old multimuse blog over here, formerly her0icmismatched. I’m going to be working on building this new blog over the week, so I won’t be ready to RP just yet. Going to be setting up things like rules, bio pages, etc.

Also, tag drop.

[theforrest13]

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!! don't care that she's got kinda garbage ivs, I've got her and that's all that matters now :'D now I can save up some orbs for when I inevitably cave in on another banner..

[moonlitdhampir]

Laegjarn still hasn't joined my army in feh but I'm hoping this will appease rnjesus!

[sotiredmostnights]

my thoughts re: ash

i've seen a few people complaining about how ash is treated in terms of design and personality. i won't argue in regards to her design (although i definitely find her design to be far more tame than other FEH characters), but i don't see anything wrong with her personality so far, and i'll try to explain why.

the main complaint i've seen is that ash is nothing more than waifubait because, as far as we can tell, she seems clumsy, sweet, & shy. these are indeed common aspects of a generic waifu character, but honestly, when it comes to dark-skinned characters in particular, we haven't seen a fire emblem character like this before.

most dark-skinned characters in FE tend to fall into one of these categories: aggressive/boisterous/violent (basilio, flavia, helbindi), villainous/antagonistic (surtr, muspell, laegjarn, aversa, laevatein), threatening/intimidating at first glace (benny, dedue), and/or servile (dedue, cyril). even though i enjoy most of these characters, i think these are all pretty negative stereotypes and tropes when applied to the few nonwhite characters across all the FE titles.

so far, ash is different. she's shy and bashful, and it doesn't seem like she's going to fall into any of the aforementioned harmful tropes. it's too early to say, of course, but man. it's such a breath of fresh air compared to what most representation in FE looks like so far, and i'm very excited to see how her character is handled!

Laevatein dating hcs?

Laevatein Dating Headcanons

note: Ah;; sorry it’s been a long whole since Ive been active, but I hope that you didn’t mind that I added some Laegjarn to the mix. I looked at them and went ‘do not separate’ so uh yeah...

• no matter who you are, where you’re from, or what you’re doing Laegjarn can and will confront you

• she will give you the shovel talk of your life and she will not hold back

• “hurt my sister, and I will make my father look like a saint”

• she doesn’t mess around when it comes to her sister, Laevatein is dear to her and she will always be there to protect her

• that aside, Laevatein is very inexperienced at romance… or feelings in general, so you’re going to have to lead her through the relationship

• anything related to affection, whether or be hand holding or cheek kisses or anything, it will make her blush

• she’s used to the fire of Múspell but this warmth… it’s different to her, she’s not used to it but she likes it

• she’s very shy about pda and prefers to keep your relationship private

• please be understanding with her, Surtr essentially raised her to be a weapon so emotions are very unfamiliar to her

• later on in your relationship, she will be more confident with being affectionate with you, but things will be very slow at first

• it’s not that Laegjarn hates you, she’s just far too used to cruelty at the people she used to trust

• when she discovers how serious you are about your relationship with Laevatein, she becomes protective of you too

• you’re now family to her, and you make her sister happy, so she’s happy too

• Laevatein is honestly very happy to be with you, she never expected you to be attracted to her due to her nature and the standing she had as a general of Múspell

• in terms of dates, neither of you do a whole lot, you both simply prefer to be in each other’s company and that’s all either of you need

• Laevatein would try her absolute hardest to protect you if you go out on the battlefield with her, she wouldn’t hesitate to take a hit for you if you were in danger, no matter how much you don’t want her to

• it reaches a point where you two begin to look out for each other on the battlefield, unwilling to see the other get hurt

• it was through your bond that you two became an unstoppable force, nothing could get in your way as long as you two had each other

• Laevatein didn’t have any nicknames for you, but didn’t mind if you gave her any

• you two were an odd couple, but as long as both of you were happy and satisfied in your relationship then that’s all that mattered

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Fire Emblem Heroes Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Alfonse/Bruno | Zacharias Characters: Alfonse (Fire Emblem), Bruno | Zacharias, Other(s) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Rock Band, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting Series: Part 3 of brufonse week 2020 Published: 2020-10-22 Word Count: 4275 Summary:

Despite everything, Bruno had the idle thought, on more than a few occasions, to try and reconnect with Alfonse. At the very least, it wouldn’t come off as someone trying to take advantage of a former acquaintance’s newfound fame, but that had never been Bruno’s concern, anyway.

No, what had been his concern was that they had drifted apart so suddenly, and everything in Bruno’s life had changed.

If Alfonse saw Bruno now, he certainly wouldn’t recognize his former friend. Thirteen years would do that, he supposed.

happy brufonse week, my thoughts on this fic are under the cut

okay so one. your eyes do NOT deceive you, this IS a 4000+ word one-shot from me! it could’ve been even longer but i was trying not to like go overboard for brufonse week. still as much as i like this and am proud of it i am thinking that at some point i might want to... expand this out. make a chaptered fic of it because there is SO MUCH DETAIL that i had to leave out to keep this from taking me months to write and so many details i would’ve loved to have the place to fit in

so setting details. they’re both alternative bands but they’re different genres that fit under the alternative music umbrella. i did not go into this because i didn’t wanna waste everyone’s time by going on a multi-paragraph explanation of the intricacies of the millions of different alternative genres. i also know basically how these bands sound but i can’t describe it without bringing up specific bands, at least for zenith, and the one band that has the specific Sound i was thinking of ended up being shitty so. i can say that golden wings is like a lot lighter a band. not pop punk exactly but might have a bit of that influencing it. zenith is more dramatic. stage presence of the black parade-era mcr, but not quite the sound since i imagine zenith is a bit lighter. yes i’m sorry i have to talk about band shit when discussing this fic

as you could guess, the interviewer talking to alfonse is peony. bruno doesn’t know her name so in the fic neither do we since we’re following his pov

originally i was thinking of writing the beginning bit, the interview, from alfonse’s perspective but i ended up not doing that because i figured that this fic would be better/easier to write from bruno’s pov

i kind of wish i had the chance to involve other characters more, but because i basically had to keep a lot to the core of the story i couldn’t quite do that. as such i didn’t get to elaborate on things like bruno and helbindi’s friendship, or eir and sharena at all

laegjarn knows bruno didn’t watch the entire interview because he didn’t have the reaction she would have expected of him

i know who does what in each band also. this did not get to be relevant in the fic itself so it’s here now

GOLDEN WINGS alfonse - lead singer, guitar kiran - bass sharena - drums anna - manager

ZENITH bruno - lead singer, guitar laegjarn - bass helbindi - drums eir - backing vocals, rhythm guitar loki - manager

i am skipping around a lot because some sections of this fic i don’t have much to say about. ngl VERY early on in the planning for this fic (if you can call it planning) i had the idea to turn the plot twist of book 1 on its head, that bruno is zacharias, by having alfonse know The Whole Time. so i was super pleased to have that work out. i also knew from the start i wanted bruno to not see the entire interview and miss where alfonse was confessing his love

the last section of the fic is the weakest, i think. i probably could’ve just cut it out but i really wanted to get over 4000 words on this fic. but honestly you might be able to tell i was just trying really hard to wrap it up. it’s still kind of sweet and i don’t think it’s BAD it’s just my least favorite personally

i like this fic a lot for what it is, i’m proud of it for being my longest one-shot. i could probably have more to say about it but i’m fucking exhausted i got like 3 hours of sleep total today. the last thing i rly wanna say abt this is that it’s like... not a slow burn but ONLY because the length of the fic meant it couldn’t be. if i had the time and patience and energy to devote to making it chaptered it would almost definitely be long enough to consider slow burn

i also can’t pick a favorite section because i like too much of this to choose just one

Super Rad 3H Countdown: Heroes

Welcome to the first entry in my Three Houses countdown!  Let’s talk about Heroes. Warning: I will be spoiling the plot.

Heroes is a mobile game, the only one of its kind in the series.  It’s free to play with a gacha system for characters, which is a fairly generous one, but that doesn’t mean much.  All I’m saying is that you can make a Super Jagen without ever needing to put a cent in. It might be a little controversial to consider Heroes part of the main series.  It’s a spinoff, yeah, but it has its own plot now, and it’s probably the most played game of all due to ease of access.  I legitimately very much enjoy Heroes, and I’d say I’ve gotten my (Free) money’s worth out of it over the years. Favorite Music:

Book 3′s Map Theme

One, the Book 3 art is great, just saying again.  Two, this theme fuckin’ slaps, y’all.  The somewhat more sinister undertone fits really well for a story that’s darker than previous ones, and has the perfect vibe for going to Hell and killing Jello Skeletons, which is the real ass plot of this Book. Favorite Character:

Laegjarn

Laegjarn was rad as heck.  Look at that cape, she’s cosplaying FIRE ITSELF.  I legit mostly just liked her on the strength of having a memorable design, because she doesn’t get a ton of screen time in the plot itself.  Book 2 was a storytelling mess, but Laegjarn’s kind of a highlight in being a fairly straightforward Camus who also rides a Wyvern.  Is it new?  No.  Is it super deep?  No.  Does that mean IntSys had the fuckin’ right to have her immolate her own innards and die?  Also no.  R.I.P., you ostentatious Flame Princess, you were too cool for This Sinful Plot.
