[traumxrei-archive]

🌸 anon's Chp 67 thoughts: nothing, NOTHING, prepared me for the reveal that Rook started in Savanaclaw. Assuming Leone was houseleader at the time, I first thought that Rook annoyed him so much he was kicked out lmao. Also I wonder if Savanaclaw Rook will be a future card 👀 My luck for picking the right nodes during the phantom containment levels were so bad 😩 For the last Jamil/Leona containment level I had to go through EVERY node until I got the right one I could feel (1/2)

dude fr. like i said in my post i was kinda spoiled for the rook reveal, but it STILL blew my mind. and it makes 100% more sense, bc rook IS from afterglow savanna ++ he seems very familiar with leona, so— (oh also, they missed out on adding rook to the new sunset savanna event that happened in jp,,,,it'd be interesting to see him there,,,obv i love lilia, kalim, and vil, but rook... ig bc he was just in portfest but man.)

ayo my luck for nodes were pretty abysmal too sjfkdsfk i ended up giving up when i got to the very last one and looking at the codes that aries sent bc i didn't wanna go through the Pain and Terror.

and the leona laughs. takes a deep breath. now whY is he laughing so damn much when he's legit in a life-and-death situation ?? the way i replayed the voicelines so many times— i mean. what ? no. nothing.

yeahh i really liked hearing abt it from a writer's perspective, bc with the lore that's been revealed, not only is the world more immersive, but you can like. make scenarios around that now. imagine if octatrio volunteer for the organization or sumn and start training other merfolk, that'd be absolutely hilarious sjfkdsj

and my reactions to the rest of book 6 should be out //soon//. i've been trying to save myself from grief, but i need to play it before i get consumed by studies and end up speculating when i'm supposed to be studying sjkfdjskf so it will be very soon hehe

OCs in the Future

This is probably them as fourth years or what they'd be like in the future (LET'S PRETEND THE FOURTH YEARS DON'T GO TO INTERNSHIPS BECAUSE THAT'S DULL) anyways first pic is them in their last year and second is them grown 🥹

LUMI KIONA:

As a fourth year, she's actually a lot more loose. She laughs a lot more and shows affection so much more towards everyone. No longer wears her glasses, she wears eye contacts instead. She cuts her hair so that it's right above her shoulders. Outside of the school, she has opened her own business and within a few days it's booming. Customers don't have to worry about contracts or anything (she's exploiting Azul behind the scenes /j). She has so much more control of her magic and she no longer needs her pen, all she has to do is flick her wrist. If she wants to use an element other than ice, she will need her pen anyways but for the most part, she's fine with her magic.

In the future, she's become a CEO of a large conglomerate company (JUMIN HAN, STEP ASIDE). She has a virtual assistant and someone else working for her to make it easier. On the weekends, she visits Allen or Riley, depending on the week. She'll take snacks and tea and just talk with them. Most of the time, she's extraordinarily busy but because her company has grown so big to the point where her reach extends everywhere, she's so rich that she doesn't know what to do with the money. So she gives the money to her friends, Allen, Riley, and Miles because she's comfortable where she is. She doesn't want a castle or a mansion or anything, she's fine with her house with the big backyard. She's just enjoying herself a lot more and shows her emotions more!

MEDITRINA ROSAS:

In her fourth year, she has her hair in layers and she usually keeps up her hair in space buns and lets the rest of her hair down. She's no longer putting on a façade of her being calm. She doesn't bottle up her emotions either, but due to her doing that for years, she can be seen as nonchalant to the point of absurdity. The flowers in her hair are no longer just purple, she wears whatever color she's feeling like. In true respect to her love of purple in the past, she has purple contacts on. She is the houseleader of Pomefiore. She wears the crown crookedly and while a lot of people may think that it's a complete difference from Vil, she does not let the others slack off. She holds herself with an elegance and she refuses to let the others slack off just because she isn't Vil.

Later on, appearance wise, she has cut her hair up to her ears. She has several piercings and a rose tattoo on her neck. Her occupation in the future is a detective. She's one of the best ones out there, she doesn't let anyone go. However, when the Ignis case file is put on her desk, her heart drops. She still misses him even though it has been years and she keeps wondering if he's found someone new, someone that could take care of him. She remembers the times they had together and in order to keep her emotions under control, she cries for days, she's missed him too much. She purposefully doesn't capture him and never has a partner because she knows exactly where he is. It's almost fun to her, seeing him once more. The chase is a thrill, especially since she remembered how much fun she had with him.

How is she with her family? She keeps in contact with her favorite cousin, Esteban, as always. She no longer talks to the rest of the family. The only time she did talk to them was to take back her cat Dorito. Whenever she's on a gruesome case, she asks Esteban to take care of Dorito and that she'll pay him.

GALE DIEBIN:

By his fourth year, he's no longer as calm, he's more in a constant state of stress. He can be seen with dark bags and he tries to play it off but Gale is so tired. He wants to go back home, he no longer wants to be in this world. He is desperate to have his old life back, even for a few minutes. His hair is a lot shorter, he cut it (to the outrage of his fans). But the poor guy is on his last straw. He doesn't go to any internships and most of the time, he's in his room, trying to figure out a way himself to go back home. He can't imagine what's going on and he wants to go back, even for a minute. And somehow, he does.

In the future, his job is as Lumi's assistant. He's actually figured technology out! He's really good at everything he does and he loves working under her. They go out on outings once a week so they can both relax from the stress of the company. His hair is so much longer (it reaches past his lower back) and he no longer hides his green eye. He has more freckles and he's actually grown a lot more serious. A lot of stuff has happened since he became Lumi's assistant, starting from him actually finding his way back to Earth and staying there for a few years. According to him, when he went back, everyone was panicking and looking for him. They were all so happy to see him once more, but that was when he said his goodbyes and searched for a way back. Somehow, he managed to do that within those years.

IGNIS COLINA:

By his fourth year, he's on a hybrid internship. He's both in the internship and he's back at school. He didn't want to leave the school entirely but he didn't want to miss out on internships! Ignis still hasn't cut his hair, he only cut the ends so he wouldn't have dead ends. Once he reaches his fourth year, though, he gets involved in more fights. Whether or not he starts them is up to interpretation, but something's been going on with him. It's this that causes Meditrina and Ignis to break up. He doesn't know what's going on with him and the last thing he wants is to hurt her. No matter how much she pleads with him, he doesn't let her go back to him. He's too far gone and the only person that could get him out is him.

In the future, he's a world famous chef. But that's all a front, in reality he's become the leader of a gang. His horns have grown out fully and he can be recognized by the tattoo on his neck. But whenever he doesn't want to be discovered, he wears a hat and puts makeup over the tattoo. He knows that Meditrina is going after him and while part of him is terrified of being turned in, the other part of him is desperate to see her one more time. He purposefully sets himself up so he gets caught by her. He wonders if she's found someone new and if he takes care of her better than Ignis did. The thought makes him bitter. But the sight of her makes him even happier. He has strict orders of people that are not to be touched and she is one of them. Even after all those years, he still watches over her and does his best to protect her.

IRIS TARTAL:

By her fourth year, she's the house leader of Ignihyde. She's more strict with these guys that Idia because she was exhausted from Idia being a shut-in like everyone else. Now, the Ignihyde students have to take walks at least once a week and at night. If they like the dark so much, they should be able to walk around at night. She watches over Ortho constantly, she has a major soft spot for him. Obviously, she's still a tsundere but she cares for people in discreet ways. For example, one of the guys had fallen asleep on the lounge couch so she covered him with a blanket. Onyx was exhausted from doing his assignments and even moreso when he realized how many assignments he had put off. She had done all of them for him but would not admit that it was her.

She's a world famous inventor and she has actually created the first time machine. What the world doesn't know is that she has also harnessed the power to control time. That machine in the museum? It's still valid, but if a thief wants to use it, they can't since the machine doesn't have batteries. She arrives at the reunion with a ring on her finger, turns out she's engaged to someone. She also has stopped wearing her mask and she's gotten full arm tattoos. These are magic and they usually shift depending on her mood or when she wants to be reminded of something. It's one of her own inventions as well. Iris no longer buries her emotions in her work, and she actually shows her emotions a lot more nowadays!

Honestly speaking, she got lost in time for a while before her engagement. She was stuck in the multiverse, to be exact. Through every universe, only one thing was common: supposedly, she always fell in love with Onyx first. She was so confused by this since in her universe, it was him that fell first. She's even more confused and panicking because how long has he liked her?! After what seems like an eternity, she finally returns and all she says is, "I saw the meaning of the universe. It's apple juice."

NAVIN EITEL:

In his fourth year, he's the vice housewarden of Pomefiore. He was definitely missing Gale at the time, so he ended up growing his hair out into a ponytail just like him. Unlike Gale, his ponytail is on his right side. He also misses Ignis a lot so he wears the red earrings that Ignis bought him before he left. Because Meditrina is no longer the Mom friend and he always has been, he's the one that takes the most care of the dorm and especially her. He makes sure everyone is eating well and properly, he goes on walks and takes the freshmen, he makes Meditrina go to sleep early because "no makeup will cover the dead look in your eyes". Thanks to Gale, though, he's been getting gigs. Sometimes he'll get back to school dead tired but happy because he's finally working.

He's become an incredibly versatile person in the entertainment industry. He directs, he works in crew, he acts, he does it all! Because of how charming he is and how well he does his job, his movies are usually hits. He's won many awards for the movies he's worked on and he's always as humble as ever. Whenever he's got a movie premiere, he invites his friends and takes them to awards shows. They all get star struck at seeing their favorite celebrities but Navin's like, "That's my friend? Do you want a picture with her?" "YES. NOW. PLEASE."

BLANCA ROSEHEARTS:

By the time that the year she was there is over, she's decided to leave NRC. She only went there to find Riddle and she managed to take him out of his mother's grasp. It was a lot of arguing and fighting, but she managed to become his legal guardian through court. Meditrina actually was her lawyer at the time since she was studying law and Lumi came through as well, helping with whatever she needed. Valkyrie also made herself of use (mainly to sit in the courtroom and intimidate Riddle's mother). She is his legal guardian until she is of age and she's made sure that if their mother ever comes near them, she will punt her. At least now Riddle can go home to someone who won't mistreat him and he'll be able to hang out with his friends!

Due to an "unfortunate" accident (courtesy of Iris), she has grown SO much taller and she's now a model! Her hair is shorter than before, but not that short, it's enough so that she can put them up in buns. The influence that her friends have gained her a quick way to the top and now she's at the front of multiple magazine covers. She has tons of butterflies that visit or live with her in a little cottage. She has a HUGE garden that she likes walking through daily. If her brother is still living with her, she makes sure that Saturdays and Sundays are days that he rests. If he doesn't live with her, she invites him for tea on Saturdays, just so he can have a day without worry.

COLETTE LARUVI:

During her fourth year, she's the Savanaclaw house leader. Two months before everyone left for vacation, she decided to duel Leona and she actually ended up winning by using her Unique Magic against him. There have been lots of changes to Savanaclaw, but the biggest one was that at first, a lot of Savanaclaw students were against her as house leader, so she made them fight her. Each time, she'd make them lose to the point where when Titus saw a fight, he'd grab snacks and watch with Jack.

She has become a famous fashion designer and started her own fashion company. No longer needing the money from her parents, she works as a designer and sometimes as an actress with Navin. Many times they've both been in a movie together. Other times, she's been the designer to his outfits or costumes. She designs her own clothes and she's been noted to answer that she is wearing "herself" when asked what she is wearing. Taking a note from Blanca's book, she usually has a lollipop on hand and eats them when she's working. The girl got a tongue piercing too, out of impulse. She was crying afterwards. She has been more than happy to make Blanca her model with her clothes and thanks to how good they look and Blanca's confidence, a lot of renowned designers have gotten her jobs with them or that they know of.

TITUS VERANO:

In his fourth year, he is Colette's vice housewarden. He is the one that oversees the changes to Savanaclaw, starting with cleaning up the messes that are in the spare rooms so that the thing that happened with Leona during Azul's reign of terror does not happen to anyone else. He is the most welcoming one out of everyone, even though he's a giant. Some of the students look for him specifically because they think he's the housewarden. He just directs them to Colette. He plays a lot of video games with his friends and tends to stay up doing so. He's strangely good at horror games though, he has defeated Five Nights At Freddy's, Uncanny Valley, DDLC, etc. He's also the one that organizes events with the dorm, there will be events like watching movies and stuff like that. He's really nice with everyone and in comparison to him before entering NRC with no friends and only Colette, now he's more popular, known by tons of people, and has a bunch of friends.

Once he graduates, he works as a secret agent. His area of expertise is cybersecurity, therefore whenever someone needs him, he's right there. However, his job also requires him to protect famous people due to what they know based off of their connections. While he's an expert in cyber security, he's also a marksman. If there is any big awards show or anything, he is usually on a roof with other people as snipers. Does he work for the government? Maybe, maybe not. Does he work in order to protect everyone he loves? Absolutely.

ASTRO BASILISCO:

In his fourth year, he is sitting back and watching as Heartslabyul either changes or stays the same. All he really cares about is that there's a show being put on and he doesn't mind if he's in it or not! His hair has grown a lot longer and he usually braids it. It's dyed pink at the ends. When he sees Valkyrie, he annoys her to no end. He usually comes up with sayings such as, "Watch out, Grandma, don't trip!" To which she replies, "You are one to talk, old man, do not let your joints get in the way of simple things." He's the one that teases the freshmen a lot and makes some incredulous rules up. The freshmen are terrified and the dorm leader may have to tell him off. He's just laughing the whole time.

During his fourth year, he claims that his internship has something to do with the music industry and it's not a lie, exactly. He uses the internship excuse to have a comeback with his idol group. A lot of his fans go wild over him with long hair and even his own group is like, "Wtf! You no longer look maidenless! Congrats, peepaw!" They still bully him, they do not care.

A few years later, Astro is no longer an idol, the role as leader has passed on to Selene. He is no longer in the entertainment industry, instead using his skills to be a spy. Now he wears eye contacts all the time so that he isn't identified easily and looks human-ish. After all, who will go and think that the person they are talking to is actually a demon? He's also dyed his hair so it's almost leaning towards white but still blond. He has cut his hair once more, preferring it short. His horns are peeking out by the day since it means that he's becoming more and more into an actual demon. He craves the adrenaline that involves life or death matters, so him being a spy is the best option for him, especially if he is practically immortal unless killed in a specific way.

VALKYRIE XENARIA:

By her fourth year, she's actually managed to transfer to NRC! However, instead of going into Ignihyde, Valkyrie winds up in Diasomnia. She hangs out with the others a lot more often and she's honestly the strictest one there. Some Diasomnia students made the mistake of trying to put her in her place since she came from RSA but she used her Unique Magic so quickly on them that it was a flash. Iris and Onyx are both ecstatic to have her there and all three of them arrange a bunch of hang outs. Valkyrie knows she's third wheeling but she does not care because it's so amusing to see how Onyx trips over himself for Iris but she's trying to find ways to make her cousin or Leona's life miserable. She also likes hanging out with Lumi a lot, they are both similar in the logical sense and they become good friends very quickly. She has to deal with Astro's pranks constantly, although sometimes she'll put him in his place. Her hair is no longer dyed brown, it is now back to orange.

In the future, she doesn't work exactly, it's more than she has finally decided to settle down and take it easy. Due to the multiple favors she has accumulated over the years, she uses them to her advantage. She has a cottage in the forest near a lake. She owns a garden that she tends to everyday. It's a peaceful environment. However, whenever she craves that feeling of adrenaline, she decides to go back to her old headquarters (she asks beforehand) and gives lessons. She actually taught Astro all the things she knew because she used to be a spy. She's seen as an important member of the headquarters and she is content with the position she's in.

ONYX NYSALIS:

By his fourth year, he's taken over as vice house leader of Ignihyde. He tries to calm Iris down by saying that no, she cannot go around and ensure that every Ignihyde member needs to go out and see the sun at least for one hour. Then again, he kind of agrees. He's definitely the one that makes the Ignihyde students awestruck because he's a cyborg and since they all work with technology, they are itching to see how exactly he works. He does not mind, since he is also curious. Iris, stop gatekeeping and share with the class, especially if Onyx would love to know too.

He is a doctor. He works in neurosurgery and he makes a lot of money. To be honest, he completely raced through undergrad school, and medical school because he knew everything that the curriculum required him to know. It's the best part about being married to the same inventor who tinkered around with you and suddenly you're one of the smartest people on the planet, if not the smartest. He's the youngest neurosurgeon in his field, younger than the average by half. He was part of the field within no time and to this day, he is considered one of the best surgeons. He does not hesitate ever and he knows what to do. At the end of every surgery, when he gets home, he always gets a check-up of his own so that he does not malfunction in the middle of anything.

REUNION SUMMARY !

Lumi is a lot happier now that she's working in business and the second she sees her friends, she actually screams and races to hug them. Out of excitement, she ended up freezing Colette but unfroze her right afterwards.

Meditrina avoids the first reunions but at some point, she finally makes it and everyone is ecstatic to hear her cases. When she sees Ignis, she doesn't know what to tell him and she wants to keep avoiding him. But by the end of the night, she finds herself out on the balcony, laughing and leaning against him with the same internal butterflies, just like old times.

Gale is more serious but at the sight of Navin and Ignis, completing the Package Trio, he actually winds up bawling. But the atmosphere is more light-hearted with all three of them united and they're all super excited about being with each other again, talking on and on for quite some time.

Ignis goes to the reunion after years and he accidentally sees Meditrina there. He talks to the others about his cooking and they all know about his gang, but Meditrina avoids that talk. However, he finds himself going after her when he spots her on the balcony. He thought it's be different, more painful now that he has zero chance. But by the end of the night, he feels much lighter and as though he might have a second chance.

Iris, to everyone's surprise, is engaged and she's actually grinning the whole time. She's definitely sarcastic but she's super happy to be there. She talks about how her time machine almost got taken but the thieves couldn't figure out how to make it work. She said, "They just needed some A batteries."

Navin, the famous celebrity he is, gets there and everyone is in on the joke to surround him like paparazzi and try to get autographs. He laughs along but he seems more cheerful now that he's doing what he loves and he's successful at it too.

Blanca is the one who actually makes the desserts, she's INCREDIBLE at making desserts. She also screams at the sight of Meditrina and Ignis, she's more excited than anyone.

Colette arrives in her own outfit alongside Titus and she has to explain that yes, she's met some famous designers but no, she can't get that one leather jacket for you, Ignis. She's actually the one that subtly helps Meditrina and Ignis hang out alone together, she takes Medi and Titus takes Ignis.

Titus gets there with Colette and he is asked about how his job as a marksman is. He's the first one on the dance floor, causing everyone else to start dancing. He and Colette are scheming to get Ignis and Medi back together and he takes Ignis. Somehow, it works.

Astro actually sings one of the idol group songs and he has to chase his own unit away because SOMEHOW they found him. The others were laughing the entire time, trying to let them stay. Astro said, "I AM NOT BEING TORTURED WITH TINY GREMLINS TONIGHT."

Valkyrie LOVES seeing her friends again and out of sheer excitement, she is super jumpy and all over the place. She's a little clingy too but it's very cute since she hasn't seen them all in so long.

Onyx is engaged and honestly, the drama that goes on in the hospital is what he spills. No, he won't talk about his procedures, but he will talk about how his coworker's wife's best friend messed up an entire relationship. He's more than happy to see Valkyrie and he's the one that thanks her for everything.

[asexual-levia-tan]

guy who hasnt read anything other than the main storyline content voice:

come to think of it, if leona is so bummed about not ever being able to receive the throne or whatever, maybe he keeps flunking on purpose to stay in a leadership role (houseleader)

[valcaira]

loving all houseleaders in their own ways is amazing; dimitri vs edelgard discourse doesn't affect me. claude isn't better than either of them as well. they're all war criminals who need therapy. they're all my blorbos. my poor little meow meows

[jentastiq]

It has been a while since I made New Horizons designs for the houseleaders in Fire Emblem Three Houses, so I decided to make updated versions.

Down below are other Fire Emblem Three Houses designs I’ve made, which are available on same creator ID.

Houseflag sweaters

Houseleaders (old version)

Byleth designs

Handheld flags

Edit: Added a small detail on Edelgard's design, code is updated.

[philliamwrites]

good news: i've started to enjoy playing few3h and decided to continue working on the dawn will come, a fire emblem three houses gn! reader insert with canon divergence where you smooch all the houseleaders, i promise ✨✨✨

bad news: if i finish the game and the plottwist with shez and their demon baby boy is the same that i have planned for my story three years ago, chances are very high i'll abandon this work and upload everthing i've outlined so far / have written as a google docs for everyone interested to read. until then, i'll try to upload a chapter every month ✨✨✨

also looking for a beta-reader for this story, i'll have to go back and edit chapters as well, i'm not happy with how my writing used to be

a very pleasant i still wanna go down on dimitri to you all

[kisant]

Now that I’ve been making some headway into Claude’s route, I have realized something very important...None of the houseleaders sleep. 

Edelgard has her nightmares and her Flame Emperor gig, and she also spends time in the library at night, as she had a conversation with Claude and Byleth there. Dimitri has his ghosts and his investigation about the Duscur massacre, and Dedue was trying to convince him to get some sleep and stop doing all-nighters. And Claude also spends a lot of time in the library after hours to investigate the secrets of the church and the relics. In fact, in his supports with Lysithea, he’s the one that convinces her to go to sleep instead of researching into the night. 

Almost the entire plot could have been avoided if Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude has seen each other in the library at ass o’clock for several nights in a row and decided to make an investigation group and share information. Add Lindhart and Lysithea too, because those two also pull research fueled all nighters often. Hubert too, for obvious reasons. All of them are in the “coffee (with varying degrees of sugar) is my lifeblood” club. 

Jeritza can join the club later, too, because I’m convinced that early game Jeritza slept like 2 hours per night before being revealed as the Death Knight. That’s why he naps in the battlefield the first time you encounter him and only becomes more active and mobile once he stops being the fencing teacher as well as all his other jobs. The difference between early game Death Knight and late game Death Knight is not interest in dueling Byleth, but the one between being constantly sleep deprived because you have 3+ jobs and being well rested after finally being able to fix your awful sleep schedule. EDIT: I made art to go with this post! 

Now it has colors :DD

Ok, so Verdant Wind was my first fe3h route and I fucking hated it, but it's been like 2 years, so I've decided to replay it and to see if I still feel the same (I just want to give it a fair chance and not have my bad, knee-jerk, "I'm still learning how this game works" reaction to be my only memory of the route). Anyways, I'm having thoughts anyways so I may as well shout them into the void as I go along. Thoughts as of white clouds ch7 (spoilers will be included. Also, I'm writing this at 4am so sorry if I dont make much sense):

Jesus christ the tonal whiplash of this route is awful. Hey Claude, Hilda- let's maybe not have a cheery talk about how cool relics are right after we killed a man

One idea that they kinda set up and I'm really sad they never really explored is Claude's friendship with "Thomas." I think it could've been interesting if they treated that relationship more like Thomas grooming Claude into the slithers. In non-VW routes, I think the betrayal could've served as a last-straw sorta moment that causes Claude to double down on his distrust in others, also further justifying why he never teams up with the other houseleaders. In VW, I think it would've been nice if by forming normal, healthy relationships with Byleth and his other classmates, Claude is able to realize on his own that something is kinda weird with his relationship with Thomas, so he actually asks for help and gets it, leading him more into genuinely trusting and relying on others. I feel like this angle could also help set Thomas up as shady, cuz I remember feeling pretty blindsided by the reveal in my first playthrough

I really like that Claude gets to have moments with the other houseleaders. I think if they played into it more, it could've been fun foreshadowing for his whole "master of diplomacy" he has going on post timeskip

Since the deer are the house with the most commoners, I think it would've been nice if they delved a bit further into the whole wealth disparity thing. Like, there's definitely bits and pieces, I just wish they went further into it. I think it would also help give further context on why half of the alliance wanted to side with Edelgard (and make Claude look more impressive when he actually does unify them)

[aubins]

Between each scant moment of peace, therein lies a thread that threatens to unravel it. Upon this field, Eir believes that it has been laid out for all to see; the gleam of a sharpened blade, the melodic twang of a bowstring— all one needed was simply to pull. For Death, it seemed almost comparable to a soul. Tranquility was as fragile as such, and never long-lasting for many. As the Helian gazes out towards the field, a futile hope buds deep within her chest, weak despite herself. It is the quiet wish that the next enemy she finds need not be a friend.

But as it has been for many of her lives past, her desires are never realised— not by fate, and neither by her mind. It passes by nearly like a wisp, a lavender crown washed bright beneath the sunlight. Sapphire gaze catches upon the figure that moves through the field, as efficiently as they were even within the abyss. Houseleader Yuri. There were no claims Eir could make of friendship, though her respect lies with them all the same. She is aware they did not fight as Ashen Wolves— but neither did they fight beneath one banner, either. Death’s stride is silent as she follows.

A breath is taken as they both slow into a clearing, one unaware of the other. The Helian watches, still, obscured by their surroundings. Should she say something? A warning? Those were not the duties of Death. There was merely deliverance. Without a sound, Eir nocks her arrow, and draws the bowstring. A few seconds pass, her aim steadied. The arrow flies, decisively, through the air.

ATTACK ROLL: 16! Critical damage. ( -4HP ).

For a house named after an animal so fiercely loyal, the Ashen Wolves have all but scattered from the pack. Andrei and Julius to the Eagles, he to the Lions, and Hapi and Eir to the Deer — they fight this battle under banners red, blue, and gold. They are the wolves in sheep's clothing, hidden amongst their peers. If any have questioned so far where it was these students never before seen in class have come from, they are not concerns that have been voiced.

For their part, Yuri throws themself into the Battle of the Eagle and Lion with a vigor that does not quite match that of their allies. This is not the first time they have marched under a blue banner upon this field, and this mock battle does not have the same stakes that it carried two — three? — years ago. These are not their classmates, this is not their house, and it has been a very long time indeed since they have called Faerghus home.

So, they watch from the sidelines, blood from their previous battle wiped clean from their blade with the edge of their shirt. They wait, and underneath the din of battlefield, quiet enough that their ears miss it, there is the twang of a bowstring, the whistle of an arrow through air.

[ -4 DMG. YURI: 2/6 HP ]

The mockingbird's nature is to fly; he does not enjoy being grounded, and certainly not by a familiar face. A hand rubs at the shaft of the arrow, gaze pensive as they stare down at it, then turn to meet their assailant. “Beautiful shot, Eir,” they offer, hand already upon the hilt of their sword. “Maybe this is my sign from the goddess to pick up my archery lessons again.”

Yuri closes the distance between them with a glint of steel and a flicker of grin. “Well? Let's dance, then.”

[ ROLL: 20, CRIT! -2.5 DMG. ]

My first attempt to write a multichapter fic. Let’s see how this one will work out. 

Chapter Summary

A duo of twins. A cold and emotionless woman. A compassionate man. Both working as mercenaries unitl they meet the houseleaders of the Officer's Academy.

The goddess speaks that fate cannot be altered. A fate is a fate. And the words of the goddess are absolute.

But maybe - just maybe - these two can.

(Twin! AU)

AU HouseLeader!Byleth is my new favorite thing. Her house is like “Silver Wolves” or smth like that, and Jeralt is assigned as her professor.

Designing this outfit was super fun!! I talk through the design a bit under the cut:

In terms of colors, since the primaries were taken and given Byleth’s nickname as the “Ashen Demon”, I thought something stark and bleak would be a good fit. 

I kept elements from her original design that I thought would incorporate well: gauntlets were a given, and kept the dagger but changed the sheath color to fit better. The weird circlet + fabric thing on her chest mirrored Edelgard’s so I thought it would incorporate well. Peep that tiny but well-covered boob window, as a nod to how useless in battle it would be in her original design--here I think it’s understated, and wouldn’t be too much of a disadvantage.

Other than that, I was mostly referencing other house leaders for things to include: all-black was a given, as was the side-cloak (though here it’s cut, like Byleth’s original coat!) Gold adornments all over the chest piece, and a nod to house colors in the collar. Not a fan of the original booty shorts + tights, so I thought of going for something similar to slim riding pants; I didn’t do a full-body design, but I’d imagine Byleth’s original high boots, and the pants tucked into that.
