Magical Studies (Sylvain X Male Reader)

“Your swinging is horrible.”

“I know. Why do you think I use magic?”

 “And yet the professor wanted for you to train in swords.” Felix frowns. He feels he’s being held back from his regular training by helping his younger brother.

“Maybe he wants me to be a Trickster or Mortal Savant? Well, whatever, I probably stick with magic anyway.”

“Fine by me. Still, the professor egged me on to help you. Let’s not waste time, so you better focus.” As both men draw out their swords, someone else joins the training ground, causing the swordman to scowl. “No.”

“I haven’t even said anything.” Sylvain quickly defends himself.

“My apologizes. You meant to train here, huh?” Felix looks at Sylvain, who awkwardly looks at him. “Thought so.”

“I was just wondering how you two are doing. Thought I would check up you two.”

“I’m horrible.” Y/N comments.

“And now I’m training him right now. Meaning you’re interrupting.” Felix coldly says to his friend.

“Well, maybe you should get a different teacher.”

Felix glares at the taller man. “You’re saying this is my fault?”

“No, I didn’t mean that.” Sylvain quickly clarifies himself. “I thought maybe it would be better for Y/N to have a different way to learn.”

Felix hums. “I can see that.” Without a warning, he hands over the sword to Sylvain. “Here.”

“W-What?” Sylvain looks surprised. “You want me to teach him?”

“Yes, but knowing you, it probably won’t work.”

“But I don’t use swords.”

“Good. You’re on equal level. Maybe you can figure it out together.” Felix looks at his younger brother, who’s stunned his older brother would do this. “Talk you later.” Thus, he walks away and out of the room.

“Wait! Felix!” Sylvain wanted him to change his mind, but deep down, he knows it will do nothing. After sigh, he looks back at the younger Fraldarius. “Your brother is a handful.”

“Imaging living with him for your entire life.” Y/N cracks up a smirk. “So… are we going to train, or…?”

“Sure. Why not?”

They get into their places and begin sparring. Of course, they begin slowly. Though they slowly build up the pace, bit by bit. Everything has been going well, until one incident.

“What the-!?” Sylvain gasp as he quickly looks back, where he sees Y/N’s sword hanging against the wall.

“Oh my-! Are you alright!?”

“Did you just threw the sword at me?” The redhead looks back at his friend.

“I-It just slipped!” Y/N quickly excuses himself. “It was an accident! I swear!”

“It’s alright.” Sylvain calms him down, but Y/N still feel guilty. “How about we take a break?”

They decided to go outside after putting the swords away. That’s when they walk around the Monastery. While they chat, Y/N rents about the entire situation.

“I almost killed Felix too. Multiple times. He called me a moron in return.”

“Don’t fret about it.” Sylvain continues to feel his friend better. “You’re maybe a bad swordsman, but you’re still good mage.”

“The best.” Y/N says with full confidence. “I got straight A’s in the School of Sorcery back in Fhirdiad. Mercedes and Annette would say that too.” He let out a sigh. “Why can’t the professor see that?”

“Someone sounds full of confidence.” Sylvain find it funny the total shift of mood.

“I’m a modest guy, but I take pride in my magic.” Y/N explains. “I studied every type of magic. Whether it’s reason, faith or dark. I even create my own spells.”

“You can do that?” Sylvain sounds impressed. “What did you make?”

“Let’s see… I made a spell that shoots a beam of ice. One that tangles enemies with vines. But I also made spells that are used out of combat. Like one that cleans object, increases one’s charm, turn bad food into good one-”

“Wait a sec. Increases someone’s charm?” Sylvain is intrigued of how he can use this for picking up the ladies.

Y/N regrets confessing one of his spells. “I’m not going to let you bother any more girls.”

“C’mon! How about we see this as an experiment?” Sylvain suggests. “Say, what if we use the spell in order to neutralize the enemy without any shed of blood. Won’t that better the world?”

Y/N can’t believe Sylvain slimed his way to convince him to do it. “Fine, but only for a better world.”

-

Both men are standing at the marketplace, where they try their experiment. There are a couple of female students at the stall, in which Sylvain is intrigued by.

“You sure about this? I’m not finalizing the spell, so you might get results you don’t like.”

“Nothing permanently?”

“I sure hope not…”

“Fine by me.” Sylvain carelessly ignores the potential risk. “Let the experiment begin.”

“Alright.” A purple magic circle appears in front of Y/N and a purple shine lands on Sylvain.

The philander quickly looks around his body, seeing nothing changed. Nor does he feel hurt or changed. “…Does it work?” There isn’t a respond of Y/N. Thus, he looks back at him, seeing him look away with his face red. “Are you blushing?”

“S-Shut it!”

“Wow, you totally are!” Sylvain looks impressed. “The spell worked!”

“I increased your natural pheromones… and it looks like it worked.” Y/N tries his best to act normal. “J-Just go flirt with the girls already!”

Sylvain chuckles. “Don’t mind if I do.”

The man leaves Y/N and heads towards the stall, where he chats with the girls. Though he quickly notices that the girls aren’t responding like Y/N did. However, he did get some odd gazes from the male students. Feeling like he figured what the risk is, he returns back to Y/N, who looked normal first, before he shies away.

“The spell only works on guys!”

“I-It does!?” Y/N looks surprised. “I probably changed the pheromones to focus on guys…”

Before Sylvain could respond, one of their classmates passes by. Being polite as he usually is, Ashe decided to say hi, only to instantly notice the strange aura. “H-Hey guys. Y-You two having a good day?”

This confirms Sylvain’s suspicion. Y/N surely noted this. “We’re good. We’re heading to the dorms. See you later.”

-

Y/N and Sylvain heads to the bathhouse to get rid of the pheromones, thus breaking the spell. That’s what at least Y/N thinks. Ones there, the redhead prepares himself to go in the bath, which happens to be empty. Before undressing himself, he notices Y/N heading the exit.

“You’re not coming?”

“First, you’re teasing me with the entire spell. And now, you want to join you in a bath, while the spell is still active?”

“I don’t see the problem. Aren’t you supposed to confirm that the spell breaks with this?”

“You’re such a-” Y/N let out a grunt. “Fine… Wonder how you treat me if I were a girl?”

“Probably worse.” Sylvain says with a smirk.

They change their clothes and get into the bath, with Y/N staying away from Sylvain, who’s putting his entire body in the water. After coming out of the water, he looks back.

“They’re still there?”

Y/N gets closer, only then having an answer. “Y-Yes. Just continue putting your head underwater.”

Sylvain continues to clean himself from the pheromones. After a while, after his entire body is drenched by the hot water, he looks back at Y/N, awaiting for an answer. The spellcaster gets closer.

“It’s gone.” Y/N comments.

“Thank goodness. Now I don’t have to worry about guys like you smothering over me. But I guess you still will do so.”

“You think I’m into you?” Y/N says with a smirk. “We will be an awful couple. You will just cheat with any girl that passes by.”

“You really think that low on me?” Sylvain acts offended. “Like you don’t have your own baggage. Your brother will probably kill me if we were together.”

Y/N then smirks. “Now that you point that out, maybe we should be together.”

Sylvain chuckles. “Fine by me.”

-

After a long bath, the two guys continue spending their day together. As they approach the dining hall, they get approach by someone, reminding them that they completely forgot their training.

“Well? Did you learn something?”

“A lot.” Sylvain quickly pitches in. “…Just nothing revolving around sword fighting.”

“I’m not disappointed. Just confirming your lackless attitude.” Felix says coldly.

Y/N frowns. “Can’t you stop acting so rude.”

“Can’t you just do something as easy as practice. I can’t have your back the entire time.” Felix explains. “You need to learn to be independent.”

“I am.” Y/N argues back. “Maybe if you look less on what I can’t do and instead look on what I can, you know I’m more than capable.” The younger man let out an annoyed huff before leaving.

Felix let out a groan. “That idiot…”

“You should treat him less hard. He’s still a kid.” Sylvain defends his friend.

“We’re here for a reason. We’re not kids anymore, nor should we act like one.” Felix still holds up his stance. “He should realize that.” With that, he walks away, leaving Sylvain wondering what’s up with Felix, and how he could help Y/N.

-

Y/N is again practicing again at the training ground, where he swings his sword. Still, he doesn’t feel confident about it. He then sensed someone joining him. As he looks back, he sees Sylvain, as well the professor.

“Oh, hello professor. Sylvain.” Y/N nods to his friend.

“I heard you were having trouble with the sword. I didn’t knew you needed more guidance.” Byleth kindly says.

“I told him.” Sylvain admits. “Felix was complaining about the entire thing, and I know I’m not the one that can teach you, so I went to the teacher.”

Y/N smiles. “Thank you.”

“Next time when you’re having trouble, go to me.” Byleth adds.

“Looks like all that ends well.” Sylvain smiles. “Let me know if you need something.”

As he tries to walk away, Byleth speaks up. “Hold up. I think this an opportunity for you to learn a thing or two.”

Sylvain sighs. “Better luck next time…”

-

Some days has passed, and Y/N and Sylvain are swinging blows. The taller man can tell the spellcaster become better. Ever since their private tutor with the professor, Y/N’s sword affinity become better. His swings become smoother, faster and stronger. His stance as well become better. Sylvain would even admit he’s better then him. That definitely proves the current match, where Y/N uses Hexblade to destroy Sylvain’s training sword.

“What the-!?” Sylvain looks shocked.

“I did it!” Y/N smiles. “I recently learned that move. And now I will use it.” He gives a mischievous smirk. “Those bandits won’t know what will hit them.”

“I never think I will see the day where you act like a hotshot.” Sylvain responds. “Congratulations.”

“Thank you! Oh, and also thank you for your support. If only Felix would act more like you. …Without your bad parts.”

Sylvain laughs. “I can wish the same. Maybe you can call me your big brother instead?”

“Absolutely not. You’re more like… umm… a very good friend.”

“Just a very good friend?”

“Maybe.” Y/N smirks back. “I would consider you a good husband if you cut down with the flirting.”

“And what if I stop?” Sylvain asks.

“Action tells more than words.” Y/N says. “I guess only time will tell I can view you not only as a trustfully friend, but as something more.”

“Sounds like a challenge, and I sure like to take one. How about a warming up? We can go to the dining hall and get some food.”

“Sounds like a good idea. We can celebrate my victory.”

[yanderehsr]

Assalaam alaikum (its a traditional greeting from where I’m currently staying) This is my angsty request:

Can I request yandere ex-fiance sylvain x betrothed reader. For context, Sylvain and reader were betrothed at a young age by their families to conjoin the families. We all know how sylvain hated being his family and seen as crest stud so he will hate reader too who bears a crest and is part of the reason why he is being force to marry early. Reader on the other hand is dutifully fulfilling their role as sylvain’s fiancé as they don’t want any of their siblings to suffer in their place. Reader cooks sylvain’s favorite food, invites him for teas and all kinds of couple activities. Sylvain being himself decides to flirt with other girls despite having a fiancé already and is skirt chaser with new girls every week just to spite reader and his father. Seeing how their fiancé doesn’t even respect them as a person and is often caught in indecent scandals, reader is hurt as they’re the only ones trying to make something good in the unfortunate situation but is hated by sylvain. One day reader after being stood up by sylvain once again is comforted by one of the kinder students (ashe, dedue or ignatz even) and they fell genuinely in love with the student. How does sylvain feel that reader is no longer trying to make the relationship work and is now interested in other men and frankly speaking replace him in their heart? How would he get the reader back?

-Thank you for reading my request (I’m so excited that you’re doing three houses, do you still remember the anon that sent the jing yuan x neglected wife reader request, that was me. It was such a long time ago, and your blog has grown since then. This request has similar vibes but I see Sylvain to be the kind of yandere that needs a wake up call to snap into yandere mode)

*Gasp*, so it's you who requested that, nice knowing that you still read from me, Sylvain is actually one of my favorite fe3h characters, 4th place in fact😆

Hope you'll enjoy😄

Trigger Warning: Yandere, Obsessive behaviour, Possessive behaviour

The arrengement happened before either of you were born, that didn't mean that Sylvain didn't hate this situation, he hated it more than anything else, and the only thing he could take his anger out on was you, it was stupid and even he knew that, but he was a child and that was all he could do.

Sylvain ignored you, he hated you, sure it was the situation he really hated but it was you it effected, the two of you should be a couple but this whole situation had made you feel lonlier than ever before. You had to go through with his angry looks and indifferent responses for so so long.

"Just go away, I don't have time for you today"

But that didn't mean that you didn't try, you tried so damn hard to make this not only easier for Sylvain but for you as well, if this was going to happen then why not make it a happy relationship at the very least, so you cooked for him, you stood up for him and what did you get in return, he ignored you, flirted with others and left you alone, over and over again, it was tiring but you held out, or you thought you could at least.

"I-I just don't understand what he has against me"

"There there, I am here to listen to each and every word, so vent all you want"

You had met Ignatz at yet another ball Sylvain had left you at, yet another party where everyone would laugh at you as soon as he left and you were all alone, that's when you met Ignatz who allowed you to rant about it, get everything you had been holding in for the last 10 years off your chest.

*THUMP* *THUMP*

A new spark had been ignited that day, not for Sylvain but for the kind boy who listened to you and comforted you when you needed it, he treated you with respect and kindness, much different to your fiance.

Someone who did take notice of this was Sylvain, you who were such a constant in his life was suddenly spending less and less time with him, you smiled at him less and less, and one day it had all dissapeared... he would admit, he missed it, missed you.

But Sylvain saw you with Ignatz, saw your smile not be directed at him your fiance, but at Ignatz, His heart clenched tightly, a painful feeling in his chest as he saw this, for some reason he felt like ripping the boy from the golden deer apart and get you back, he felt jealous.

Sylvain through jealousy realises what he had, and what he is losing right now, someone to love, someone that treated him with kindness, he feels saddened that he has pushed you away, why did he do that. Maybe it was too late now... you were leaving him...

... Wait you were still his fiance, you were still his, this arrangement was made by not one but two nobles, you couldn't break this off that easely, he will be better for you, he promises, Sylvain cleans up his act, stops flirting with others, now he just needs you to stop cheating on him and he will finally have happiness, with you tied to his side through marriage.

"You need to remember I am you fiance, our love was destined since birth, nothing will sepperate us, I will admit that I have acted stupid so far, but just because I have acted stupid doesn't mean you can cheat on me"

My favs of my work let's go

Okay this might be weird but while I'm so busy with other projects and sort of letting my writing battery recharge (getting small things done here and there but not stressing about it overly), I wanted to reshare some of my personal favs of my own work, just to like, idk... hype myself up and congratulate myself for once lmao. We creatives need to be a bit self-indulgent from time to time.

So yeah, if you're bored while I get my shit together and write again, maybe take a peak at these, or wander around my masterlists in my pinned post for something I might have done in the past for a fav of yours.

FE3H

Lorenz & Ignatz & Reader threesome - starting with what I suspect will be a trend with these because I'm a contrarian at heart, so when I realize a character I love isn't popular, I double and triple down and become determined to write them the hot, hot smut they deserve

Claude - Arranged Marriage - I really enjoyed doing an AU, and I'd def love to do more of them in the future. Plus Claude is the most fun and interesting of the main lords fight me about it.

Lorenz - Arranged Marriage - okay last Lorenz one but........ I'm just saying, he's a good boy y'all just can't acknowledge a glow-up when you see one.

Felix & Sylvain & Reader threesome - this is a short one but I just love the vibe and the dynamic between these lads it was so fun to write.

Seteth - Guilty Masturbation - I'm just such a sucker for repressed men dealing with their persistent lusts sorry not sorry

Seteth - Reader gets Aphrodesiac'd - okay I'm happy with this piece but also it holds a special place in my heart because for some reason, the porn bots are CONSTANTLY liking this thing specifically and I have no earthly idea why, they're just drawn to it.

Okay just one more Seteth thing it's the Priest x Succubus one - which I'm super happy with and I still sometimes think about writing a continuation for it because priest kink goes brrrrrrrrr

Things other than FE3H

Volke (FE 9/10) messy hookup - Volke is such an absolute man and it was such a joy to have an excuse to write him. Fandoms as a whole need to thirst for more sexy grown ass adults.

Reyson (FE 9/10) in heat - though this is kind of tied with the in heat one I did about Tibarn, which I also love. Bird men in heat..... that's what's up.

Kaeya (Genshin) w/ praise kink - Kaeya def remains my Genshin fav, and no amount of "Hoyo finally figuring out how to model an adult male body years into the game's run" will change that.

Luxord (Kingdom Heart) consensual non-con - it's just so rare that I get to write for my Org XIII lovelies and it's just so fun to write sex dialogue for such a resolutely sexless series lmao

Kurama (YYH) giving oral - I've written quite a lot for Kurama at this point (on here, mostly shorter drabbles and headcanons) and it's still always a pleasure, and I'm particularly fond of the subtle playfulness in this piece.

OCs! Shaeliegh and Terry - angsty hookup - I had SO much fun writing OC stuff for once and it's totally fine that others aren't as inclined to be into it, but I personally think it's some of my best work and enjoy rereading it frequently~

So I just noticed your most recent request (the Felix/Sylvain learning magic one). I was wondering if I could see the reverse? But like not taking place in the same story, if that makes sense. Like the reader (I'd prefer a male one) wanting to learn how to wield physical weapons to protect himself better so he asks Felix and/or Sylvain for help, maybe Ashe for bows as well cause he's a cinnamon roll

As stated in my rules, I only do two characters per request. From the way your ask is written, I prioritized Felix and Sylvain. If you like it, though, then please feel free to send in a separate ask for Ashe! I do this for time reasons and to spice things up (writing 3 fics back-to-back with the same concept without a break is a little draining.).

But aside from that, I'm glad you liked the other one! I have fallen in love with your concept just as much, but my goodness! This took me far longer to complete than I am happy to admit. I am aware that my main issue was synthesizing your request to a male reader, as I find them a little difficult to write for.

Regardless, I want you to love what I came up with! Requests are open, everyone, so don't be shy!

The stories will be continued under the cut.

Felix:

As you pushed open the doors to the training grounds, you weren’t surprised to find the expansive room was almost empty. The afternoon had turned to night, and most of your classmates were either wrapping up in the dining hall or preparing to rest.

Most of them.

"Training again, Felix?"

The blue-haired noble didn’t break his routine, cutting through the training dummies with the precision of a master. It wasn’t hard to admit that his skills were impressive for his age. Truly, the metal seemed to be a natural extension of his own arm.

"What?” he called, “Have you come to drag me elsewhere?"

"Actually, I was hoping I could spar with you."

At this, Felix dropped his sword arm to his side. He turned to you, raising a brow.

“Aren’t you usually preparing for bed at this time? You know that a quick skirmish isn’t going to chase me out of here any sooner, and I’m not about to waste my time with someone who isn’t at the top of their game.”

You let out a laugh, “Trust me, sleep is the last thing on my mind.”

It wasn’t quite true, you were definitely a little tired. Sleep wasn’t an option right now, though. You knew you needed to be here, but as soon as you entered the room, you forgot what you came for. That seemed to be happening a lot lately.

It has something to do with Felix, was all you remembered. Useful, as it meant you could keep him here until your memory returned. You hoped it would soon, lest you spend half the night with your feet on the ground.

“What are you waiting on, a map?” He began to move the practice dummy he had previously created a considerable dent in, “Go grab a weapon, unless you intend to fight with your fists.”

Migrating to the rack by the wall, you picked up an axe that looked as though it were in better condition than those around it.

Wrong. It has something to do with this. The axe is wrong.

Great. This was like trying to solve a puzzle whose final picture was blank. The answer was literally right in front of you, you could swear it! But then what were you meant to fight him with? A lance? You didn’t know how to use too many of the weapons within your line of sigh-

“You’ve been staring at that axe for about a minute now. Are you sure you’re not tired?”

Walking back towards him, your focus was entirely on the hatchet in your hand, “I swear, I’m not. I just…nevermind. Let’s do this.”

“Good, just don’t let it get in the way of our training,” the swordsman approached you, already pulling out a coin from his pocket.

“Oh don’t worry, you’re still getting your ass kicked. I call heads, by the way.”

The question in Felix’s eyes left him at your last remark. The coin was flipped, and sure enough, it landed on heads. You would be the first to attack, leaving Felix to begin in a defensive stance.

Both of you moved a few paces away from one another. The axe was familiar in your hands, but it felt wrong tonight as you placed your grip on the wooden base. This was an easy problem to overcome, you knew, as a simple feeling couldn’t detriment your performance too much. Still…

“Ready.” you nodded.

Felix echoed your confirmation once he had taken a more athletic pose, and the first bout began.

You charged forward, a plan in your head as you swung your axe over your head and down onto Felix. He leapt back, then changed his momentum towards you. The blade of his sword slashed once, then twice as you dodged backwards both times. The blade of your own weapon was still on the ground where it had landed earlier, your grip on the pole keeping it exactly where you wanted it to be.

Once more you rushed at him, only this time, you spun the blade 180 degrees on the floor and brought it up and forward. With your momentum charging the upsweep of the wooden blade, Felix didn’t have the time to dodge out of the way. It clipped him in the arm, where his shoulder was attached to it.

“Point,” he called.

Wordlessly, you walked past each other to switch positions. It was your turn to defend from his assault.

“Ready.”

“Ready.”

You didn’t have time to get a full breath in before Felix came forward. He copied your first movement, cutting downward as you chose to defend with the pole of your axe. Successfully blocking his attack, you pushed him back by thrusting the pole that had halted his sword outward.

Unfortunately, he caught his balance before you did. His fast impulse let him drive his sword forward into your chest. Your inability to lower your axe and reset into an athletic stance left you off your center.

His sword struck true, though you could sense he had let up enough of his momentum so as not to knock you over at its poke.

“Point,” you stated.

By the goddess, point you idiot!

Finally, you remembered! Bringing your hatchet with you back to the weapon rack, you exchanged it for a wooden sword hanging on the metal stand.

This did not go unnoticed by Felix.

“...”

“...something wro-?”

“Are you mocking me?” he questioned. The face of the future Duke had contorted into one of disgust.

“No, not at all! This is what was nagging me since I entered. I’m meant to take the certification exam for the Hero class in a few days, though I’m nowhere near ready. I know my way with an axe, but my skills with the sword could use some work. I’ve attended a couple of seminars, so I came here tonight in hopes of actually practicing,” you assured him.

“A smart idea. You can only learn so much without practical application,” he agreed. “You’re not going to get anywhere holding it like that, though.”

Swiftly, Felix closed the distance between you, “Hold your sword out.”

You did so, paying close attention as he adjusted your grip. It felt more natural already.

“Since your main weapon will be the axe, I doubt they’ll care too much about how you attack with it. Just as long as you can block, defend, and dodge effectively, you’ll pass. It takes a certain level of skill to do even that, though.”

“Right.”

He took a few steps back, and you immediately recognized his offensive pose, “I’ll take it easy on you these first few times; it’s more important that you work on applying your fundamentals, which you should have picked up from those seminars, than for you to adapt to countering my style. Ready when you are.”

“Alright. Ready.”

Most of the time, when he attacked, it was all about reading the angle of his sword and countering it appropriately. You were strong from your hatchet training, so sustaining the blocks was child's play. Switching the advantage came harder to you, though. To push back and then add a strike of your own was incredibly difficult while enforcing defenses.

It took a few rounds and a lot of bruises, but you eventually fell into better defensive habits with the sword. You were nowhere near Felix's level (even though you knew he was taking it easy on you, it felt like he was toying with you the whole time), but you found yourself much more assured in your base skillset.

"That's enough for tonight. It won’t do either of us any good if we keep sparring when we ought to sleep,” Felix commented, crossing the room and putting his wooden sword into a sheath that had been discarded on the ground.

A single, stark laugh left you, “Never thought I’d hear you of all people saying- Wait, that’s yours?”

“Is there a problem?”

“I just…didn’t think you’d have brought a wooden sword of all things.”

The swordsman raised a brow, then approached you, “Give me the one you’re holding.”

You did, easily. Then, when Felix took his own wooden blade from its casing, he held it out to you.

Taking it, a small wave of surprise washed over you once you realized it was weighted.

So this must be how he remained so agile when he used a real blade.

“What did I expect?” you traded weapons again. Then, you made your way to the rack on the wall to return your borrowed, glorified stick.

Sheathing it for the final time that night, Felix headed to the door while you were still messing around with fitting the sword back into its place.

Before he could leave, you made sure to call out to him. 

“Felix?” you watched his attention snap back to you. “Thanks. You know, for helping me figure this out.”

“Tch, we’ll need to work longer than just one night to fix all that.”

“Ouch. Feel free to lay it on gently, next time.”

“Then save your thanks for after you pass the exam. Besides, who said I was doing it just for you?” he turned to go once more, “Prepare yourself. When I’m done with you, you’ll be one hell of a training partner.”

The doors to the training grounds shut with a resounding echo. You sighed, finally fitting your sword onto the rack. Then, you walked the path back to your dorm.

But as your head made it to your pillow, sleep was hesitant to claim your racing thoughts. Felix’s last words to you were the promise of a trial by fire.

You hoped passing the exam would be worth the price of all the burns.

Sylvain:

“Hey, Sylvain. Mind if I borrow you for a sec?”

You dragged him away from his conversation, the two women he was talking to clearly having begun to turn hostile. You didn’t know what the philanderer had said to them, but you knew it wasn’t good if they were looking at him like that.

“Yeah, we might wanna go a little faster,” Sylvain recommended under his breath.

After some casual speed-walking, you both wound up outside the stables. Much to your chagrin, he actually seemed proud of himself. Some people just didn’t learn, you supposed.

“Thanks for getting me out of there. So, was there something you needed?”

“Yes, actually,” you chose to ignore that he believed you would pull him out of his own mess just to be nice, “I’m working on becoming a dark knight. I’ve got the magic part down, and I’m good enough at the equestrian portion to know I’ll pass. It’s the lance I really need help with.”

“So you came to me?” he laughed. “What, wouldn’t you rather have Dimitri or Ingrid training you? I’m no good-”

“Don’t even try it; you’re not worming your way out of this one. You’re far from last place in your lance skills and you know it. Besides, you owe me a favor.”

He raised a brow, “That still doesn’t explain why you chose me over Dimitri.”

“If it really matters that much to you, I can’t choose Dimitri. His crest supplies most of his strength, so I didn’t think he’d be the best fit for a teacher. Ingrid and Ashe would be okay, but they’re both out on a mission, right now.”

“So in other words, I'm your last pick.”

“Hey, I could’ve waited for them to return if I wanted. I’m in no rush to take the exam until I’m certain I’ll pass,” you countered.

“Then…I’m your first pick?”

You lowered your brows, “Get over yourself and help me.”

The two of you made your way down to the training grounds. On the way, Sylvain kept looking around as though he expected those two women to jump out at any moment.

“Relax. I doubt they’d go train of all things after that encounter. Your reputation might take a small hit, though.”

“You mean to suggest it’ll get worse than it already is?”

You conceded at that point. To tell the truth, you had no idea how Sylvain was still able to pick up women, what with the gossip and rumors attached to him.

Once the doors were shut behind you, Sylvain relaxed a bit more. He instructed you to grab a practice dummy and set it up in the middle of the area. However, once the job was done, the red-headed noble was nowhere to be seen.

I swear to the Goddess, if he ditched m-

A shout of surprise left your throat as you turned around to the sound of a loud thud behind you.

Sylvain laughed, “Woah, didn’t mean to scare you! Everything’s ready now.”

Looking to the ground, you identified a large wooden object in front of your training partner. It wasn’t there before, so it was probably what made the noise.

“Okay…?” you questioned, “What do we do with the battering ram?”

“Oh. That’s your new lance.”

That’s a funny joke. How the hell am I supposed to lift that thing?

You gave him a strange look, “You’re kidding, right?”

He stretched his arms out, resting them behind his neck, “Nope. That’s how my father made me train. He even got in contact with Rhea to make sure at least one of these would be here for me.”

“Seriously?”

You were beginning to have second thoughts about this whole thing, but you were the one that asked him for help. If he was willing to give it to you, you were taking it.

“Alright, then. What do I need to do?”

The Gautier heir picked up the ram with ease, walking over to the training dummy to demonstrate.

With him talking you through it, you pieced together that the plan was for you to stab with the ram, then swipe horizontally both ways before finally swiping vertically both ways. Each portion of the exercise was to be repeated twenty times.

“Go ahead, give it a try.”

Thudding on the ground once more when he set it down, the battering ram lied in wait as you approached it.

But even picking it up was a challenge. Both of your hands were on the same handle as you yanked upwards to no avail.

“Sylvain, there’s no way I can lift this.”

A huff of air left his nose in a chuckle, “Probably should’ve guessed that. No offense.”

“Don’t sweat it. That’s why I'm here, after all. Any other ideas?” you asked.

“No, no, this could work. Here, you take the back handle and I’ll hang onto the front.”

Together, you managed to lift it, though you were surprised at how much of the work you felt yourself doing.

Sylvain guided the direction of your swing while you did the actual movement. It was a pretty effective system, if you were in any position to say, and you could really feel it in your arms. Nonetheless, you refused to let up. The two of you went through the motions until all of the reps were finished. After your first set, however, a short break was in order.

“Of course, this won’t just be a one day thing. It’ll take a couple weekends to really get results. Feel free to let me know when you need help, and I’ll find time to make it down here to work with you,” he offered.

So it was. Over the next week, you both made it a habit to train with each other after lunch. Eventually, you were able to get through the routine without him. He would still be sure to make an appearance, but at this point, you weren’t exactly sure why.

Once you felt closer to ready, the two of you met up about three days before you were scheduled to take the exam. This time, Sylvain handed you one of the practice lances and instructed you to do the same exercise.

Immediately, you noticed an improvement. The motions were so much faster, and your hits had become so much stronger than before.

It seemed your “teacher” noticed it, too.

“Great, now let’s put it to some real use.”

Sylvain picked up a wooden lance of his own while you moved away from the training dummy.

“Go easy on me, yeah?” you laughed. “I’m not exactly used to this new strength, yet.”

“Don’t worry, my crest won’t activate during something like regular sparring.”

You noticed his defensive stance. He was prepared for you to attack.

Best not to keep him waiting.

Adjusting your grip, you made your way over to him. You moved your arm to act out a horizontal swiping motion, but you didn’t actually go through with it. Reading his backwards dodge easily, you didn’t let up on your charge until after he had caught his jump. Then, you used your momentum to poke forward.

“Agh-! Yup, that one’s definitely yours,” he grunted in suppressed pain, “My fault for anticipating, though.”

“You good to go again, or…?”

Sylvain plastered on a grin, “Nah, I’ll be fine. I can handle a little bruise.”

If he didn’t want to do anything about it, you certainly weren’t going to force him anywhere. Round two it was.

This time, you both went back and forth for a bit until the poles of your lances were locked in a stalemate. You were so focused that you didn’t notice Sylvain stick his leg out until he had swept your feet from beneath you.

Thinking fast (as mages always did to avoid getting hit), you used the energy of falling to create the momentum that allowed you to roll away from him. Getting up fast was going to be the key to winning this bout.

Not a second too soon, you were on your feet and swinging your lace around your body until it halted just before hitting Sylvain’s side, who was still running toward you. He noticed immediately and stopped his advance.

“That’s your point, too. A bit unconventional, and I have no idea how you’ll recreate that on a test…”

“Well there’s no way I can control what happens on the test, right? If it’s just sparring, then sparring practice is the best I can do.”

“Can’t argue with that,” Sylvain said matter-of-factly. “One more, or should we call it a day?”

You recalled how you jabbed at him square in the chest during your first bout, and then how you just barely managed to avoid hitting him in the second.

“I’m good,” you nodded. “I’m a bit tired today. Besides, there’s always tomorrow.”

“Sure. Well then, see you here again tomorrow.”

He left you behind to clean everything up, but you didn’t blame him. He probably would have given away how bad his injury was if he tried to bend over anyway. Classic Sylvain, who could never manage to fool anyone but himself.

Placing the lances back where they were meant to be stored, your thoughts turned to the future. The exam that had once felt like a huge barrier now looked merely like a step on a staircase. You knew you had Sylvain to thank for that.

Maybe you’d get to it eventually, but for now, you’d stick to showing your thanks in other ways. Whether he noticed it or not.

[fandom-meanderer]

would rlly like a scenario where sylvain befriends an m!reader and one day he sees him laughing and is like well shit! i guess i really like guys and am bi!

I include Sylvain in the list of “IntSys Missed Bi Chances”

~

“(Name), check this out,” Sylvain winks at you. You lean against the wall.

“Alright, Gautier, impress me,” you taunt, shooting him a lopsided smile. Sylvain suddenly felt strange, was it the competition? Or was it the need to impress you?

Both.

It’s gotta be both.

Sylvain slid next to a lonesome blonde and waved the waiter over.

“Get a drink for the lovely lady and put it on my tab,” Sylvain smiles. The girl perks her eyebrow up and thanks him. “It’s no problem,” he says. The waiter places two drinks between the two of them and they start to chat. After a while, he excuses himself and walks back to you.

“That’s it? That’s all you have to do.”

“Yup.”

“Buy them a drink and talk for a while?”

“Yeah.”

“That easy?”

“That. Easy. Try it,” Sylvain nudges towards the brunette at the table next to them who was, of course, alone. You sigh and shake your head.

“Fine, but you’re coming with me.”

“Of course! Anything for my friend,” he says. Huh, that stung a little. You walk over to the table and wave at the girl. She looks up from her book and waves back.

“Hey, mind if me and my friend sit here?” You ask.

“Be my guest,” she says. Sylvain slides in first and you follow. You look at her book.

“Hey, that’s the King’s Fall,” you eye the cover, a sudden smile graces her lips.

“It is! The most recent edition to the-”

“King’s Among Us series,” you both say. You stare at each other for awhile before you start laughing.

“What did you think about the Captain’s sacrifice?”

“Are you kidding?! Tragic. Horrible. I can’t believe K.C. would do that to us!”

“I know? What the heck,” you turn to Sylvain. “Have you read the series?”

“I’ve only heard of it,” Sylvain shrugs. “I think I saw Ashe reading it once.”

“Oh, Ashe is a classmate of ours,” you explain. The girl, who introduced herself as Cynthia, looks between the two of you.

“Oh, now I recognize those uniforms. You’re from the Officers’ Academy.”

“That’s right,” you smile. “And your uniform, you’re from the School of Sorcery, right?”

“Yes, actually.”

“That’s really cool, I graduated from there last year.”

“Oh, so you’re only a year older then?”

“Yeah, I suppose so...”

As your conversation moved on, Sylvain could only watch with his head in the clouds. Looking at you at this angle was just... The light hit you perfectly, the sounds around them just died out when you spoke. And the way you just clicked with this girl, it kind of made him jealous.

Huh, him? Jealous? He thought he’d never see the day.

Then, a sudden realization hit him as he turned to face you once again.

Holy shit.

He’s in love with you.

I tend to write more general things now for TBHK rather than reader inserts, but I'll still accept requests for X Readers if you wish.

I’ve seen up to Chapter 5 with TWST, along with about half of Chapter 6, so try not to send requests that include spoilers for anything beyond that! It'd be greatly appreciated ^^

For FE3H, I don't write for the Church of Seiros (except for Flayn). I like them all but I just don't enjoy writing for them as much qwq

I’ve watched all of Arcane but I haven’t played League of Legends so if there’s something that I should know about, please let me know!

For any requests involving the fluff alphabet I have, I'll allow a maximum of 5 letters and 5 characters per request. Just remember that the more letters and characters there are, the longer it'll take me to finish.

Regarding suggestive requests, anyone under 16 will not be allowed to have suggestive requests. It just makes me uncomfortable. (Suggestive meaning no full blown NSFW but some mild spice.)

Hello! I'd like to leave a request if I may! Could I request a Male!Reader crushing on Linhardt please? Reader is probably the coolest dude in school, but doesn't know how to go about talking/confessing to the sleepy nerd. Poor guy probably asks for help on how to confess, who they ask, what and how that advice goes is up to you! Thank you for your time! 💕

Consider it done and done, my friend!

~

“(Name), please, I’m serious, you’ve got to teach me your ways,” Sylvain pleads. You shrug your shoulders.

“Honestly, Sylvain, I don’t know where you’re coming from. I wouldn’t call myself the ‘Coolest of Garreg Mach,’” you scoff. Sylvain laughs.

“Ha! You might not, but you’re on the top of almost every student in school’s list!” His jaw drops.

“Hi, (Name)!” A female student calls. You shot a wink toward the incoming student, not surprised by their immediate blush which was followed by an excited whisper toward her friends. Sylvain looks at you with a raised eyebrow and an ‘I told you so’ expression. 

Okay maybe you were the coolest guy in school. But that still doesn’t erase the fact that there was that one person who you could never speak clearly to.

“Well, Mr. Coolest of Garreg Mach, there’s gotta be a special lady you’ve got your eye on, eh?” He probes. You roll your eyes.

“For the last time, Sylvain, I don’t have any woman in mind.”

I mean, you’re technically not lying. Then, just as the Goddess willed it, you happened to cross paths with the thief of your heart. And… Oh gods, is he falling?!

“Linhardt!” You shout, lunging forward and catching him. Then, you swear you felt your heart stop.

‘Oh my goddess this is actually happening. Is this really Lin? IT IS. OKAY. DO NOT DROP HIM, (NAME), DO NOT DO IT.’

“Hey, (Name), are you…” Sylvain paused. “Ho… ly… shit.”

“Sylvain help me I don’t know what to do.”

“Uh, why not put him down?”

“On the cold floors? That’s cruel, Sylvain.”

“Okay, um, put him on that bench over there.”

“Right.” Linhardt was a lot lighter than you expected him to be, which in a way sent you in a frenzy because good goddess has he been eating right? Either way, you and Sylvain found yourselves on the parallel bench, with you taking deep breaths. “Be still my beating heart…”

“Man, you have got it bad,” Sylvain laughs. “No wonder you always told me you didn’t have a girl in mind.”

“Yeah… yeah…” You nod. “Sylvain, I’m going to ask you this and I need pure, honest advice.”

“Uh huh.”

“How do I tell him?”

“That you like him?”

“Yeah.”

“Well make sure he’s awake first,” Sylvain jokes. The intense stare made his laugh fall into silence. “Okay, okay. What I would do in this situation is that I’d probably get him a nice pillow or something, then tell him something sweet. Linhardt seems like a good guy when he’s attentive.”

“Okay, yeah, I’ll try that,” you nod. “I’ll just wait for him to wake up.”

“Good idea, lad, alright, I’m gonna go,” Sylvain claps your shoulder.

“Wait you’re seriously not just going to leave me, right?”

“Well it looks like you’ve got this in the bag, (Name), trust me, everything will go smoothly.”

“Sylvain, wait, no-”

“Later!” Sylvain books it, leaving you sitting on the bench. Then, a groggy yawn grabs your attention. He looks around and sits up on the bench, looking slightly confused.

“L-Linhardt!” You scramble from your seat and move next to him. “Y-You passed out in the hallway, so I moved you over here, I hope you don’t mind.”

“It’s fine, thank you.”

“No problem!” You say loudly. Maybe a bit too loudly.

“I’m going back to sleep.”

“Wait!” You grab onto his arm. Linhardt looks at you.

“Yeah?”

“Uh… Well, I was wondering if you’d like to join me for…”

“For…?”

“Some tea!” Is what you were supposed to say, but instead it came out as: “Some beats!”

“Uh… you’d like me to go with you to choir practice?”

“Yes! Wait, oh gods, no… I’m sorry, I meant to say tea,” you cover your eyes in embarrassment, which only got worse when you heard Linhardt laugh.

“Sure, tea sounds nice.”

“Really?”

“Yes, though I’ll have to raincheck for later,” Linhardt stretches his arms above his head. “Come catch me again later, Mr. ‘Coolest in Garreg Mach.’“

“Oh, not you too,” you sigh. Linhardt smiles lazily at you.

“Later, (Name).”

“Bye,” you watch him leave. Once he’s fully gone you jump up and down, patting yourself on the back and making a little victory shout.

~

“Yeah, I like him,” Linhardt smiles warmly. Caspar looks over his shoulder.

“Who, (Name)?”

“Yeah…”

“Why?”

“He lets me nap instead of waking me up.”

“That’s it,” Caspar groans.

“Well, there’s more, but that’ll have to wait, good night.”

“It’s… it’s midday, Linhardt… Linhardt…?”

“Zzz…”

“Good luck to, (Name),” Caspar looks over to watch as (Name) let out a howl of… what is that, excitement? Whatever. Linhardt seems to like him a lot, which is all that matters in the end, right?

~
