#alear x kagetsu

[irrevocably-delicious]

I still haven’t finished Fire Emblem Engage or decided who to S support yet.

But Kagetsu is hot and weird so he’s kind of winning me over.

[fe-fictions]

I am just OBSESSED WITH DIAMANT, KAGETSU AND ALFRED !!! Would you mind writing your morning after stories for them pls ? Or at least one of them, the one you prefer ! Have a nice evening ! :)

(WE ARE STARTING OUR FE ENGAGE STORIES WITH A BIG THREE PARTER!! ENJOY!!)

Alfred: For the golden retriever prince, waking up beside you is something that is jarring and enthralling. He’s practically over the moon, recounting the previous night’s events.

The whirlwind wedding, the joy on all your friends’ faces, and most importantly, the adoration that mirrored in your eyes just as poignantly as it did in his.

It was a magical day from start to finish, but the prince was far happier when he woke up and found you sound asleep beside him. He was practically shocked by it.

To think that he had actually married you. He confessed to you, you told him you loved him too, and…and how here you were…it made him start to freak out.

But it was a freak out in a good way. At least, that’s what he thought. Alfred smiled to himself, giddy and completely unsure of what he was going to do next. He reached out, brushing his fingers along your cheek, unable to fight the joy that swelled in his chest.

It was real…you were wearing his ring, he had the Pact Ring glittering on his finger, and you looked so, so cute when you were sleeping! He just wasn’t sure what he was going to do with himself.

He worries about waking you up, but then he remembers that it’s the Somniel; it’s rare you’d wake up on your own unless someone came in to rouse you with a loud but tasteful announcement.

Then he remembered that someone wakes you up every day. 

Alfred, being the dutiful (new) husband that he is, quickly slips from the bed, wraps a sheet around his waist, and hurries to the doors to make sure they’re locked. 

After all, it would be awfully inappropriate for the Divine Dragon to be seen so very, very exposed….and he wasn’t sure h ewanted any of his comrades to see him in such a state, either.

Satisfied that the door was firmly locked, Alfred nods to himself and turns on his heel to return to you.

At least, until he looks back at his new wife and discovers that you are awake and rubbing at your eyes.

“Oh, no!” Alfred eeks out, “You’re supposed to be sleeping!”

“You got out of bed.” You yawned, propped up on your elbow. Alfred’s shoulders drop and he returns to bed, falling face first onto the mattress by your legs.

“I was trying to make sure that nobody would come to wake you up, like usual!”

“Well, considering what day it was yesterday…I don’t think any of them would be silly enough to try.” You smiled softly, petting your sweet husband’s soft, blonde hair. “Maybe Clanne and Framme…Vander, even…but they’d figure it out pretty quick.”

“I-I know.” He blushed, peeking up at you, “I just…wanted to make sure! I’d be beside myself if somebody came in and saw you like this.”

“But you wouldn’t mind if they saw you?” You quirked an eyebrow, teasing. Quickly he pulled himself up on the bed, scrambling to correct himself.

“No, no, not at all!! I just meant that…I mean, you’re the Divine Dragon!! I’m a prince, sure, but you’re the Divine Dragon!”

“When it’s just the two of us, though…I’m just Alear.” You reminded him softly, “You’re not going to refer to me by that title all the time, are you? Even when we’re alone?”

Alfred buried his face in his hands. “This is not how I saw our first morning together going.”

You laughed, pulling him into your arms. As if he wasn’t already blushing enough; it was a different situation entirely when wrapped in the open (naked) embrace of his loving wife.

“No? It’s precisely how I saw it going.”

“That’s because you take great joy in messing with me.” He said with a sharp sigh, though there was no malice detectable. He instead relaxed in your embrace, resting his head against your chest.

“I guess I do tease you a little too much, huh?” You mused softly, “Should I go easy on you, today?”

“Maybe not the whole day. I doubt you could hold back that long!” He joked, relaxing in your arms as you laced your fingers into his hair, playing with the soft strands. 

“You’re awfully gracious, Alfred. But I’ll behave myself. If only for today.” You promised to him, and your morning continued in the hazy beams of morning light, the beginning of your new life together starting off just as you both hoped (though with a little more messing around than expected).

------------------------------

Diamant: He is staring at you with a reverent fondness, drinking in every single detail. You, in kind, were privy to this when you first woke, though your eyes had remained closed for a long while.

It was strange to find him so conemplative, but it was clear that the adoration he held in his heart for you was unmatched.

The Pact Ring glimmered on his finger, adorned upon the hand that now held yours, linked together tightly in the soft light of dawn. 

He is practically beaming at you; he is known for having the loudest laugh in the army, but among his closest family and loved ones, he is known for having the most precious of smiles.

The high prince of Brodia is a sight to behold, and one you haven’t been able to tear your eyes off of since the day you met. But ever since your wedding day nearly 24 hours earlier…well, let’s just say there’s nowhere you’d rather be looking.

“What are you thinking, Alear?”

“Me?” Your gaze flickers away from his, just for a moment. But quickly you return, albeit a little more shyly. “I just…nothing.”

“It must be something.” His finger hooks your chin, gently turning your attention fully back to his. “What’s going on in the great dragon’s mind?”

“Really, it’s…it’s nothing. I’m just…I was just thinking about how lucky I really am.”

At this, his eyebrows rose with great interest. “You’re the lucky one?”

“Of course I am…I mean, you’re the one who agreed to marry me.” You remind him, running a finger over the ring that glittered so handsomely on him. 

Diamant shook his head, “If I recall correctly, I believe we proposed to each other. I’m not the only one with a ring on my finger.” 

“Well, yes, but…you’re my husband now. I don’t think anyone else could ever be so lucky to call you their spouse.”

“And I could say the very same about you.” He countered, bringing your hand to his lips. You blushed at his sweet gesture, but it is no more intimate than the two of you lying there, quite bare beneath the thin sheets of the Divine Dragon’s bed. 

“To think we have the rest of our lives together.” You sighed softly, snuggling into his side. Your hand fell to his chest, listening to the comforting thump of his heartbeat. “What are we going to do with ourselves?”

“I’m sure we’ll find plenty of ways to fill our time. Spending mornings like this is certainly an excellent start.”

You smiled up at him, earning a kiss on your forehead.

The morning was a sweet, joyous preview of what was to come. Only happiness awaited you, for the rest of your days.

------------------------------

Kagetsu: He was practically beside himself with glee, the morning after your first night together. He had always deeply valued your friendship, but when it blossomed into something more…oh, it was exquisite. And the fact that you reciprocated his feelings made him feel like the luckiest, happiest man alive.

Kagetsu’s family could not attend your wedding, but you did endeavor to spend your honeymoon with them. The wedding ceremony was lavish and festive, a more than welcome celebration after the hells you’d all gone through during the war against your father.

But now…all was at peace, and you were bonded with your lover for a life of eternal happiness.

The wedding ended late that night, and Kagetsu was glad to escort you from the Somniel to his hometown. Prince Fogado graciously offered the swiftest of Solm’s pegasi, and before long, you and your new husband were arriving at his secluded home.

His family did not know you were both there yet, though. That was by design; you wanted to spend your precious first moments with Kagetsu alone. Just the two of you, for a little while.

The rest of the world would be able to greet you on your debut later. But for that night, and the morning that had followed, it was just yours and Kagetsu’s little world.

A beautiful world that had the handsome swordmaster with his hair down and tousled, spilling all about his face whil he snuggled up to you.

“So…are we going to take the morning off only? Or are we going to take the whole day before we tell anyone we’re here?” You asked your husband, breaking the dreamy silence of the inn.

Kagetsu hummed, feigning deep thought, all while he nuzzled into your chest, wrapping his arms around you. To think your new husband was so clingy; it was utterly adorable.

“Well, at first, I thought it would be best to greet them right away. But now that the morning has come…is it wrong that I wish to spend the day with you all to myself? Just the two of us. Perhaps with the hot spring bath attached to the room…and in the dining room. They have excellent onigiri that you simply must try, here!”

You laughed softly, petting Kagetsu’s fluffy hair as he blurted out his plans as they came. “So I’ll take that as a yes, we are taking the day for ourselves?”

“I think so, yes.” He lifted his head to grin at you, giving you a soft squeeze. “I do not wish to spend my time with anyone else, today. Just the two of us…husband and wife!”

“And hot spring…and onigiri.” You added, making him chuckle. Kagetsu rolled over so that you were lifted on top of him, holding you gently at your rather exposed waist.

“I wish for you to experience my home, while we have this time to ourselves. It is a very special thing, getting to welcome you into my traditions. I hope that you will enjoy them; and if you do, I am excited to see such special moments between the two of us.” 

“My, what a sweet talker.” You shook your head, tapping your fingertips along his chest. You could feel his little heartbeat pick up when he met your sparkling eyes. “Then, shall we get up and start our day? There’s much to be done, it sounds like.”

His grip tightened, pausing the dancing of your fingers. 

“Perhaps…we can wait a little longer. I would like to enjoy the closeness with my sweet wife a little longer.”

“Only a little?”

Kagetsu swallowed thickly, the blush quickly blossoming across his face when your mischievous grin reappeared from the night before. 

“If the lady wishes, I suppose we could take longer than ‘a little’.”

“I do wish it,” You kiss him sweetly, which was all he needed. “I want to thoroughly enjoy you, Kagetsu.”

The romantic morning was the perfect start to the rest of your precious marriage to Kagetsu. Eventually you were able to drag him out of bed, where he could show you the luxurious wonder of the hot spring bath, and the delight that came with the delicious riceballs he was so obsessed with.

His family was thrilled to meet you once you were able to peel Kage away from the inn. His nervousness at introducing you to the family was quickly replaced by how proud he was of his dear, dragon wife.

They were quick to welcome you, and you were even quicker to enjoyhis family and all the new world they had to offer you.

Truly, the two of you could not possibly be happier.

HAPPY PRIDE IVY 🥳🏳️‍🌈

[roy622]

Collecting all of the previous polls, let's see which ship is the most popular.

[emblemxeno]

People on Twitter denying that Engage’s cast is very queer coded is really funny to me lmao

Like, to an extent, I can understand it seems cheap and inoffensive just to make Alear’s romances gender neutral and them being the only ones to have paired endings is sad. Fair.

But deliberately ignoring how fruity the Engage cast is? What? Supports between Fogado/Alcryst, Fogado/Pandreo, Diamant/Amber, Etie/Goldmary, Celine/Hortensia are very gay! Anything that comes out of Alfred’s mouth is gay! Merrin is very les to the point her personal skill is her escorting women like the handsome gal she is!  Kagetsu and Chloe are very open and brazen with their gay words (okay maybe the former is explained by language barriers but honestly he’s probably queer, too)! Rosado personally executed the gender police himself!

Part of the criticism of Engage’s queerness is that no character “uses it in a meaningful way” i.e. explain deeper parts of their characters, and Twitter people compared it to X, Y, and Z characters from the game that shall not be named, and idk, personally in a game with a tone like Engage, it matters less to be specifically descriptive and matters more to be more playful and fun with it. It’s not like Fates where there were only two same sex S support characters and so they had to be written with that directly in mind for their characters (which Treehouse then removed, damn thee), but Engage from the jump tries to be more feel good and hopeful, so not only does there not really need to be character arcs intertwined with implied differing sexualities, that opens the avenue for more of the cast to be read as queer/queer coded by fans.

Idk, that’s what I feel anyway

[feshippingpolls]

m!Alear x Kagetsu

FE: Should they kiss?

Alear x Kagetsu

[certainempatheticturkeymuffin]

Currently my ships for engage are as follows:

F!Alear x Chloè (It's straight out of a fairy tale)

M!Alear x Mauvier (Veyle deserves a nice family)

M!Alear x Pandreo (because a cleric and the god they worship, aw, plus the s support is cute)

M!Alear x Alfred (The supports are cute, also Alfred being the first to come to his rescue, also Alfred is definitely gay, you cannot tell me this man is straight)

M!Alear x Kagetsu (because Kagetsu deserves good things)

Alfred x Bunet (they are as weird as each other tbh, muscles and food. Definitely a crack ship.)

Cèline x Etie (just seems to fit tbh)

Louis x Rosado (the supports, Louis can stare at Rosado even when he's alone, which is sweet since Louis likes observing interactions between people. Rosado also doesn't seem to mind the staring)

Diamant x Ivy (Forbidden romance, rebuilding relations, Ivy gets on well with his little brother, it seems nice and wholesome)

Alcryst x Seadall (okay hear me out, their supports are so sweet, and the A support,,,, Seadall is so understanding and Alcryst is so much less timid around him,,,, Alcryst getting over his fear to ask for stories, and Seadall indulging him and it's just so sweet, i need ship art of these two)

Citrinne x Lapis (The dynamic with Alcryst being the third wheel because they're his retainers is just funny to me, they also seem like they'd be cute together)

Kagetsu x Boucheron (you know why. I'll give you a hint: quiz)

Can you do Alfred and Kagetsu’s reactions to finding out s/o is pregnant?

(I've been sitting on this one a little while-- the two puppy dog husbands!!!!!)

Alfred: The golden retriever prince is naturally completely on board with the idea of starting a family with you.

It’s an intimidating idea, at first, until he remembers that you’re just another person, like he is at the end of the day.

Titles aside, you were two people who loved each other more than anything. And if you wanted a child with him, then he was going to do everything he could to provide that for you.

So when you finally break the news to him that your months of trying were successful, Alfred could hardly contain a sliver of emotion.

“Alear!! Oh, Alear!!” He wrapped you up in a massive bear hug, nearly knocking you over as he shifted between tears of joy and laughter. “We did it!!!”

“We did!” You giggled, enjoying the sunny glow of your husband’s happiness. “We’re officially going to be parents. In…I think they said I was two months along.” 

“Two months? Already?!” He gasped, “That means we only have to wait seven more instead of nine!! This is such great news, darling! Oh, my gods, we’re…w-we're going to be parents!!”

He then proceeds to pepper you in kisses from head to toe, revelling the bounty of good fortune that befell you both.

Alfred wants to tell everyone right away, but somehow you convince him to take a step back and just take in the moment…privately, between the two of you.

“I’m not ready for everyone to know jsut yet.”

“What ? You don’t want to say anything?? But Alear, you’re the Divine Dragon!! You’re my wife!!!! Everyone will want to know right away! Oh, and then we can have a wonderful celebration, a-and we can gather up the royal families and have everyone attend!”

“That’s what I want to avoid.” You replied, much quieter than your husband who was practically bouncing around with great excitement.

You took his hands, a shy flush creeping onto your cheeks.

“I just…want this to be just for us. At least for a little while longer.”

“Really?” He looked confused, as though the request you made wasn’t something he could comprehend. 

You squeezed his hand, smiling nervously.

“I’m very excited to have a baby with you, Alfred, and I know we’ll tell everyone and they’ll all be happy for us! But…right now, I just want it to be, you know…our thing.”

“Ohh…I see.” Alfred nodded, and beamed at his wife. “You want it to be our little family?”

“It just takes a lot of pressure off. Not the king’s heir, not the Divine Dragon’s child…just Alfred and Alear’s baby.”

“Just a normal papa, and a normal mama, who will soon be blessed with a beautiful baby.” He chimed in, drawing you into his chest and peppering your face with dozens of kisses.

You broke into a laugh, trying and failing to resist his sweet affection.

Alfred would indeed hold to his promise and would not let the announcement slip until you were ready. Whi ch was torture for him, because he wanted everyone to know how ecstatic he was! Thankfully you only made him wait a week or two…though he would claim it was a difficult week.

Mainly because his sister and friends were teasing him for acting so “creepy” when he was even more happy and excited than usual.

The surprise was worth it, though.

-------------------------

Kagetsu: He had already expressed to you how wildly in love with you he was. He thought it was impossible for him to love you more than he did already. 

There could not possibly be more room in his already full heart!

That’s what he thought; then you told him the news.

“Kagetsu…I’m with child.”

The impossible was achieved with those three small words.

“Y-you…you what?”

Kagetsu’s voice was barely more than a squeak. He was choked up with emotion, trying to process the news you just gave him.

You nodded your head, tears starting to build in your eyes as you repeated the news.

“I’m with child, Kage. I’m…I’m three months along, already.”

“You’re-?!” He gasped, his hands quick to grasp your shoulders. His eyes were blown wide, floored with the information you were giving him.

First you were pregnant, but now you were already three months along?!

“I-it explains all the weird behavior, doesn’t it? The sickness I was feeling, the headaches and the tiredness…Framme’s the one who confirmed it, and then we double and triple checked with Pandreo just to be sure.”

“Oh, Alear…oh, my Alear…!!” He could barely piece together a sentence, let alone a thought. 

Kagetsu, who was always so chatty and happy to tell you exactly how he’s feeling was speechless. It was shocking to witness.

It was all the swordsman could do to gather you up in his arms, and hug you to his chest as tight as he possibly could.

You were somehow able to wiggle your arms free, if only to loop them around his neck as he buried his face in your hair.

“Ah…I take it you’re happy about the news, then?” You asked with tentative optimism. Kagetsu gasped softly, and pulled back to look right at you.

The tears that had gathered in your eyes had already overflowed from his. But beyond the tearstained cheeks was a smile so full it made your own heart sing.

“I c-cannot be any happier than I am, right now, in this moment.” He replied with a deep sincerity,filling you with warmth.

That man truly loved you with every facet of his being.

You cupped his cheeks, wiping away the tears that just couldn’t be stopped. He kissed your palms, trailing kisses down your wrist before he found your forehead, your nose and at last, your lips.

“Oh, my wife.” He shuddered, stroking your hair, his heartbeat loud and thundering with joy against your hands. “Alear…Alear, we’re going to be parents!”

“We are. Before we know it, we’ll have a little one to show around the Somniel.”

“I can hardly wait!!” He grinned, “Alear, I didn’t think it possible but…I truly love you more than anything in the world.”

“I love you, too.” You kissed him, tenderly, earning yourself one last beautiful moment of peace and happiness before Kagetsu could contain himself no longer.

He made sure to announce to the whole world that he was, indeed, an expecting father. 

And that his brillaint, flawless, perfect, goddess-like wife who could do no wrong ever and he loved more than any living creature has ever loved something…was pregnant.

It took a while to live down that embarrassment (but he was so cute when he did).

[warlockoftheharshtimes]

My Team In Fire Emblem Engage

Alear, Diamant, Alcryst, Fogado, Alfred, Boucheron, Kagetsu, Zelkov, Bunet, Pandreo, Amber, Seadall and Rosado.

Why These Characters? Well, I'll tell you:

(Click 'Keep Reading').

Alear - Well, you got no choice but to use Alear half the time. But even if I could not use him, I'll still use him because he's a great sword unit and he dodges constantly when you level him up enough.

Diamant - A heavy hitter sword unit that if you level him up a bit, his strength is amazing and he barely takes any damage to anything.

Alcryst - The best bow unit in the game? Sign me up! Also, isn't he just adorable?

Fogado - A very good bow unit via long bow and radiant bow but also is amazing at large swords like the Armorslayer and Wyrmslayer.

Alfred - Honestly in my opinion, the best lancer in the entire game, especially if you give him Emblem Sigurd.

Boucheron - Also in my opinion, Boucheron is the best axe unit after leveling him up enough, he's almost got 90 health.

Kagetsu - Amazing sword unit, fast and constant critical on almost each enemy he's up against.

Zelkov - Amazing Thief unit, fast and strong, dodges almost each hit and he often criticals on enemies too.

Bunet - Amazing axe unit, level him up enough and he hits enemies hard, it may take two turns but he also takes barely any damage.

Pandreo - Amazing healer and magic unit, criticals often, hits twice and the enemy is dead.

Amber - Amazing lance unit with heavy lances, sadly takes damage often but you gotta depend on his dodging and strength when he hits.

Seadall - Usually just used to make people move a second time, dies constantly after one-two hits but that is if you don't have people around him.

Rosado - Never really used him often but he was always my option if I could use 13 characters in a battle. Dies often, but he's cute and I love him.

They're also members of the ships I like: owo

Diamant X M! Alear, Fogado X Alcryst, Boucheron X Alfred, Zelkov X Kagetsu, Bunet X Pandreo, Amber X Seadall and Rosado with well... I don't know, I never came up with an idea.
