He will stab you in the front (I promise)

Looking for a fantasy drama? Political intrigue? Enemies to Lovers? Lovers to Enemies??? It's the 4th Anniversary of The Lion and The Lotus, and it's finally time to put it out into the Tumblr world!

The Prince of Faerghus unites with a mysterious Professor from Duscur to uncover the Truth about the Lambert Assassination.

Excerpt:

The Prince of Faerghus leaned across her table. “Tell us what you know about the Tragedy of Duscur. You investigated it.”

“I investigated if the people of Duscur were there. They were not. I can't tell you what happened outside of this.”

“Professor Parvati.” Dedue picked up her business proposal. “You are the kind of person who has a backup plan for her backup plan. You made a document like this overnight for your enjoyment. You were hand-selected by the Church of Seiros. You enjoy the patronage of the Prime Minister of Adrestia. Do you really believe you can fool us into thinking you did not do a thorough job? On this?” He put the proposal down. “Please. Don’t insult us.”

Professor Parvati shot him a look. “You are stabbing me in the back, Dedue.”

“No, Professor. I assure you,” Prince Dimitri said, chuckling. “If you ever cross Dedue, he will stab you in the front. I promise.”

Hubert didn't knock when he entered Jeritza's quarters. Such an intrusion might someday end with the edge of a blade pressed against his neck– but that was part of the game.

This time, however, Hubert found Jeritza bent over his desk, his quill-scratching filling the silence of the room. Hubert stepped up behind him and looked over his shoulder. "Poetry, again?"

"You'd rather have me stalking the streets in blood-lust?"

"It's less embarrassing than poetry, admittedly." 

"Does it help if the poetry's about blood?"

Hubert sneered down as Jeritza looked up. He slipped his arms around him.  "I'm afraid not."

Wherever You Soar Away, Remember That It's Always a Blessing to Be Here with You

Fandom: Fire Emblem Three Houses, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury

Summary:

Suletta Mercury is shattered. Her dreams are but a folly, her life's philosophy turned out less than ideal, and her love has been torn to shreds before her eyes. It's a blessing, then, that she's just where she needs to be to rebuild herself. Or: After episode 12, Suletta Mercury becomes a Deer, Fodlan discovers it has neighbors beyond the skies, and Miorine tries to rectify a mistake.

Read the fic here, and check out an excerpt/my thoughts below!

Excerpt:

Byleth gasped in shock as a wave of heat rushed over her; it was nowhere near as searing as the earlier one, but it was still far from pleasant. Forcing herself up to her feet, she took in the sight before her. Encompassing the whole of the opposite end of the path (or, rather, crater) was a massive, smoking figure. Its body was made of pure steel, shaded with varying hues, but not left unharmed by its approach. Scorch marks and melted iron dripped from various spots on its arms, though its chest area appeared relatively unscathed. The creature’s face (or what she approximated as its face) had the most damage, with cracked glass and torn metallics throughout. What in the world is this? I wish I knew… Byleth intended to return to the others, to call upon the Church to investigate, as further engaging with this… thing was far past what she had been ordered to do. However, this was before the creature turned its head to look directly at her. It’s alive?! Sothis screeched, horror in her every breath, How is something like that sentient, let alone alive after falling from the sky in flames?! …sU…Le…tTa… If Byleth had much of a heart, it likely would have stopped. “You… can talk?” Sa…ve… Su…lE…ttA… The creature’s chest opened, steam billowing from its sides.  It held within its casing a girl with bright red hair.

Author's Note: Somehow, out of all the things I've written on AO3 over the years, this is my most-viewed story with almost ten thousand hits and over 300 kudos. I'm sincerely blown away by that, because I just wanted to write what I thought would be a fun AU that'd last a few chapters at best. I love writing these characters, and exploring new facets of their personalities as they interact with someone so far out of their norm (and vice versa for poor Suletta), and it's given me a great challenge in writing drama and intrigue.

This specific story is barreling toward its climax, but I've got plans for what's beyond--so whether you're an old reader or a new one, I sincerely hope you enjoy it!

Crossovers I love you <3

I'm a sucker for crossovers. Love them, eat them up, especially with a good concept, good character writing, and good world building. The last one applies if's its part the fusion variety rather than the dimension travel variety. ESPECIALLY if there is a language issue. So here's one crossover idea and I'll post about more of mine later

OP x Fire Emblem Three Houses

I have a few ideas with this concept alone.

(a) Zoro, in his fashion, ends up within a Duscur village after being saved from drowning from a old fisherman. The village has been experiencing a pirating issue with no help coming from the Garreg Mach, the Eastern Church, or the Kingdom Soldiers. Zoro, despite not recovering fully, gets involved and that will have consequences.

No other Strawhats would show up, at least not till the very end and there wouldn't be chapters cutting back to them, maybe just a section or two. It would be Zoro, the Officer's Academy

The idea of Zoro interacting with fucking Claude, Edelgard, Hilda and Hubert is such a funny idea to me. They would not get his deal and he wouldn't not explain it. Felix would have a field day when he finds out Zoro uses three sword style, first because he'd find them obscenely stupid and second when he recognizes Zoro's strength in one way or another. Would Zoro see or sense Sothis? No fucking clue

It would also be an interesting way to discuss the viewpoints, social norms, and morality of both series. With his deposition and ideals, I do think he'd open up a lot of perspectives the students wouldn't have thought about before. I'd think he'd definitely clock Dimitri's tumbril. I'd have him leave before Edelgard starts the siege on Garreg Mach and be ambiguous

(b) Ashe ends up within the One Piece World sometime after Donato's death, Strawhats pick him up during some shenanigans and they help try and get him back home. Ashe is just coming off losing another father and another older familial figure, this could be an escape for him or a way to reignite his passion of justice and adventure again. Also I think his interactions with Nami, Luffy, and Usopp would be really interesting

(c) This time it's Glenn. Typically story of the Agarthans taking him during the battle, experimenting on him/using him as a test subject and he gets shot into OP. There's a million ways you can play with it. I imagine that he ends up on Drum Island and under Kureha's care. This would also have the end goal of Glenn getting back to Fódlan. Though we know some of Glenn's characteristics and a very, very basic backstory if that, he's still very much a sandbox character so writers can play with him however they want.

(d) All of the others are dimension travel so let's talk about one that can possibly work as a fusion. I'm thinking either a duo like Robin and Chopper, Law and Chopper, or just Law deliberately seeking out Fódlan in hopes of learning medical knowledge to help with the Smile Fruits. Why they are deliberately searching for Fódlan? Beats me, maybe something to do with magic and thinking outside the box.

[hypn0sssss]

I was reading an old fanfiction I started back in middle school, and the whole concept is that it was a crossover murder mystery that takes place on a boat. It also had the really cool detail that because of the rules of the murder mystery, none of the characters were called by their real names. Like Poe from Bungo Stray Dogs was "The Author", Emma from the Promised Neverland was "The Escapee", Felix from Fire Emblem was "The Swordsman" and so on

To be honest the idea was rather fire and I've been thinking about starting it over but with new fandoms :)

Life after Death

Fandom: Fire Emblem, Fire Emblem Awakening, Fire Emblem Three Houses

Summary:

Dimitri and an unlikely companion ruminate on what life is about. You have a lot of time to do that when you're dead.

Read the fic here and check out an excerpt/my thoughts below!

Spoilers ahead, naturally.

Excerpt:

Something occurred to Dimitri as Robin was detailing his latest findings (something or another about how, as “souls,” they don’t need to eat, which only served to make Dimitri realize how hungry he was).  Dimitri had never asked Robin how he got here. Well, he hadn’t asked Robin much. He’d sat silently as the tactician babbled on, preferring the sound of his prattle to nothing at all. Still, once the thought was there, it bubbled up. And up. And up. Until, eventually, it popped. “How?” Robin tapped his chin. “It’s an easy answer, but it might be hard to believe.” “Try me.” Dimitri raised an eyebrow. “Was it one of Edelgard’s soldiers? Or perhaps a brigand?” “...I’m sorry,” Robin admitted, “But I have no idea who you’re talking about.” Dimitri paused. “...Edelgard von Hresvelg,” he clarified. “The Emperor of Adrestia.” Robin shook his head. “Never heard of her or it.” Dimitri’s eyes widened. “Were you raised on a continent outside of Fodlan?” “I presume so, as I’ve never heard tell of a Fodeland.” Despite himself, Dimitri couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. Robin’s bluntness felt...familiar. --- “So you’re saying it’s not pronounced Fair-geese?” “C’mon, Teach, cut the guy some slack. He’s probably heard it pronounced wrong all his life.” “Claude, do not teach her such foolishness-” --- “It’s...not pronounced that way.”  “I see.” Robin crossed his arms. “Well, perhaps this will convince you: I died fighting a Fell Dragon. You don’t have those in Fodeland, do you?” Dimitri stared at him for a moment. He thought back to the siege of Gareg Mach. "...I believe we have just the one." “...what.”

Author's Note: This one is a favorite because, honestly, it was difficult to write. I had only really just started to get to know Dimitri as a character, and it had been years since I played Awakening, but I wanted to put my best foot forward for this gift fic. I also wanted to take on something a little more somber than my usual fare, while offering a sense of possibility and closure in equal measure for these characters.

Hopefully I did a decent job at that.

5 Years Of Three Houses, 5 Years Of Loving Edelgard.

5 Years ago today, I was first able to enter the continent of Fodlan, I meet Edelgard and from there I fell for a character in a way I never had before. I was already a professional writer with published worked and focused on Character driven work but I was still blown away by what an amazing character Edelgard was. 5 years ago, I got Engaged at a queer con, I was playing my 2nd route of three houses having played from Three Houses. The game was with me at this wonderful landing point in my life, it was there during the rough covid era struggles, when I was deeply, deeply sick, I was sicker than I ever been, not with Covid but with stomach issues and was hospitalized multiple times in one month ending in a surgery. I ran a roleplay inspired by Three Houses in Thirsty Sword Lesbians which I played for many years, I dated one of my exes through the whole campaign and grew a lot closer to one of my current girlfriends through it. I refined a version of one of my favorite OCs Ever Lena to do a Three Houses OC AU version of her for a different roleplay and while that fell through she did end up being used for that previously mentioned TSL game.

I reviewed Three Houses after finishing all four routes, I wanted to be really through and experience every route, every story, every FF romance arc, etc before I reviewed it. I gave the game a 7/10, I think now I'd give it an 8/10 maybe but a review score is what I think of the game as an overall package. The life changing power of Crimson Flower was really the big deal for me. That was 10/10, that was peak, it was just that the other routes were nowhere near as good for me. Edelgard the revolutionary who is happy to cast herself as a villain if that's what it takes to change the oppression in the world, something that was so strong, so powerful that it was reflected into our world. She was so good at being a character who impacted a fictional world, the only reason things happen at all that people to this day get angry about people loving her, discourse about her, cast her off, make up shit, show their political asses, etc. What a fucking character to be hated so strongly, for so long by this rabid group. Keeping love from a small fan base over time is hard but maintaining hate as a fictional character, that's harder especially with a 24/7 culture war of new women to hate. However, she also maintained love, Edelgard is the most popular character in all of Fire Emblem, in the 5 years she's got the most fan art, the most votes in CYL, she clearly makes nearly the most money in the gacha given how often they make new versions of her or rerun her, she is the moment.

Of course, it is not just Edelgard I love but the Black Eagles as a whole from the classic roster to the extended family of Mercedes, Lyesthia, Shamir, Leonie, to the Hopes additions of Monica and Shez. Edelgard stands so tall but she doesn't overshadow her amazing allies in changing the world. Even the men, me a famous not man enjoyer, finds at worst like, kinda boring rather than like repulsive. Plus I really love Hubert and Jeritza both as characters and think they are lovely, brilliant characters I wouldn't want to see replaced.

Three Houses hit me in a way "better" games haven't hit me in. I still think about the characters, the world, the politics, the ideas, the lore, the romances, everything so often, daily. I love so much art, most of this little blog is me talking about art I engaged with and I struggle to think of another piece of art that took me by storm in the same ways that Three Houses has. I'd love to have another game sweep me off my feet and have me giggling like someone who just met their idol but even if it doesn't happen again I am glad it happened with Three Houses.

Then there was Three Hopes and I fucking love Three Hopes, it only exists in the context of Houses but Scarlet Blaze and Golden Wildfire blew me the fuck away. Both routes do a ton for the characters in the series, the plots are fantastic, bringing Monica back and making her one of the best characters in the Fire Emblem series was so fucking great, and I adore the Warriors gameplay. Three Houses was a gift that not only gave itself but Hopes which really just furthered helped put Houses in focus, tie in way more lore, way more context, and way more information. I could explore the world of Fodlan even more honestly, I still hope for Hopes DLC because I just love this game.

It was so amazing to see Edeglard freed of Those Who Slither in the dark and the way her revolution works if she could just have saved her lesbian best friend and probably girlfriend. I loved to see the new amazing paralogues, the way the war shakes out, how she operates free of enemies resting in her house, how the nobles react when Edelgard is a free agent, the way the church fights back in this new time line. It really exciting and it is fun to see how the world once again revolves around the actions and moves of Edelgard and how she sets Fodlan Ablaze with change but now with more time to do things more carefully. It is such a great alterative look.

I don't have enough glowing things to say about Three Houses but I do have some things to say for the future of my favorite video game series. I deeply hope the future of Fire Emblem is more like Houses and not like the games around it. Houses was a return to form and the first story that blew me away since Radiant Dawn. I want more games that have the style and budget and scope and ambition of a Houses. I don't really trust intelligent systems to bring me that kind of story, so I hope they work with Koei again in the future and let their writers do their thing,

I love the smaller scale Fire Emblems but I can play indie games and smaller budget SRPGs and get the scope and ambition of a smaller scale Fire Emblem but only Nintendo money can bring the kind of game Houses is to the table. I really want to see the expensive class system brought back hopefully without the sexism and the big roster of characters and so much of the little things that made houses so charming. I don't need multiple routes but I would like a good political message like Crimson Flower to be in the future. I don't know if I'll ever love a character not made by me or my loves ones as much as I love Edelgard again but I want them try and I want them to pull it off.

Happy 5 Years Fire Emblem Three Houses, you are something special. If you want to see more of me gushing about houses you can read my fics here https://archiveofourown.org/users/AlexisSara/works?fandom_id=23985107
