#gaius x robin

[fe-fictions]

Gaius x Robin Commission (Robin gets pregnapped and Gaius is,,, super not okay with it >:O )

Since the end of the Valmese War, and your return to the living world, you found yourself back in the busy world of reconstruction and regrowth. 

There wasn’t as much for you to do as a tactician, and since Gaius was a reformed thief turned war hero, he was now on the right side of the law and would become an upright citizen dedicated to helping you restore the halidoms from Ylisstol’s castle.

But what this meant was that while there was plenty of work to be done, there was a lot more free time on your hands compared to war time. Now that things were busy again, it was getting difficult to find time to relax. 

The hustle and bustle of a growing halidom meant that more needed to be done by Chrom’s chief advisor, baby or not. Gaius was the one who was most worried about it. 

“You know, just because everyone else is getting busy, that doesn’t mean you have to as well, Bubbles.”

You glanced up from your work, where you’d been hunched in your office since the dawn. Your husband didn’t waste much time, closing the distance and circling around your desk. He pulled your chair back, forcing you away from the paperwork.

A small whine escaped you, though your glare was more jovial than annoyed.

“Gaius, this is an important budget proposal I have to review. Miriel was insistent that I give her my recommendations on it by the end of the day-”

“That would’ve been fine four months ago.” He put his arms on either side of you, gripping the back of the chair. “But unfortunately, you’ve been given strict rules not to overwork yourself until the baby’s born. And even then, Maribelle said you’d have to take it easy for another three months.”

“Gods…that’s such a waste of time!”

“She just said to ease back a little.” Gaius reminded you, taking your hands and lowering your arms so that they were wrapped around his waist instead. 

He gently rested your head on his chest, smiling fondly at his pouting, pregnant wife.

“It’s still too long.” You sighed, squeezing him close.

“Yes, yes. How ever will you survive without working yourself to death?” 

“Oh, hush.” You rolled your eyes, “How about you let me finish this review, and afterwards we can take a nice, long break together.”

“Is there anything I can do for you in the meantime?” His question was earnest, which received a warm smile and a squeeze of his hands.

“I would actually love it if you could bring me some of that herbal tea in the royal kitchen. It helps a lot with the back aches, and I’ve been feeling it for the last couple hours.”

“Sure.” He helped you up, “And would you like a sweet treat with that bitter medicinal swill?”

“That would be wonderful, yes.” You grinned at him, leaning up to kiss him. “Thank you for being so perfect.”

“Why don’t you take a little walk in the meantime? That’ll help with the aching while you wait.” 

You opted for a brisk walk in the courtyard. It was actually quite relaxing, and did help ease the tension in your back. The tea would certainly take care of the rest.

Within ten minutes, you opted to head back, figuring Gaius would be ready by then. But when you returned to the office, you found your office empty, only a cup of tea and some biscuits waiting on the desk.

“Guess he had something come up,” You shrugged, had a sip and a bite, and continued with your work. But the ache in your back didn’t ease like normal. A stronger, more irritable ache in your skull started, instead. 

“Ugh…” You groaned, pressing your hands to your head. A sudden migraine was abnormal. The world became blurred, a pit in your stomach. This wasn't an illness. It happened too suddenly. 

It was poison.

“Gaius…s-someone…” Your words were too quiet and too slurred to be coherent. You tried to stand from the desk, but your legs gave out from under you. The cup crashed to the floor in your attempt to catch the desk.

You felt the stone strike against your head, and then…there was nothing.

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

Gaius was held up by the lack of tea supplies. For some reason, he couldn’t find the right kettle, or the medicinal herbs, or even the cup you preferred. 

The cabinet he had kept everything of yours carefully stored in (the one he shared with you, that most of the royal chefs allowed you two to use)...had been compromised.

Everything was gone.

Gaius was not immediately concerned until he heard from every person he asked in that kitchen if they’d seen your herbs or dishes. To his chagrin, none of them had, save for one…who thought they’d seen Gaius come by earlier to make your tea. 

An impostor.

Gaius was sprinting away from them within seconds. Fear and adrenaline spiked, fueling his system to burst towards the monstrous mess that was coming. He fought the panic back as best he could, but deep down he knew what happened

‘It’s been years…dammit, it’s been this long with nothing-!! Why would they go after her now?!’

Gaius swerved around the corner, clearing the corridors and practically running over anyone who stood in his way by mistake. The door to your quarters was still locked, how he’d left it. Surely you returned from your walk by now. He tore the key from his pocket and thrust the door open.

“Robin?! Robin!!” He called after you, but received no response. He rushed to the office,; and his heart dropped to the floor.

Your tea cup was shattered, spilled all over the stone. Your desk was a mess, and your window, behind the chair…was unlatched. On the windowsill was a single flower; a snapdragon blossom.

The calling card of the thieves’ guild.

“Oh no. Oh gods…oh, oh, Robin-” He stumbled over his feet, trying desperately to turn on his heel and break out of the room. The Exalt was summoned frantically, which didn’t take long to cause a chaotic panic among Shepherds.

Gaius shouting “Robin’s been kidnapped!!”, fomented chaos. He was ripping through the palace, and lighting a fire under every single Shepherd he could find. 

Soon enough, there was a council room filled to the brim with confused and worried soldiers.

“How did she get kidnapped? It’s not even the dead of night-- how did anyone miss that?!” Stahl asked right out the gate. Frederick grimaced, unfurling a map of the continent and another with schematics of the castle.

“I am uncertain, which is alarming. It is not as if we leave the palace understaffed in terms of security. And Robin is extremely capable of defending herself.”

“That’s because these aren’t your run-of-the-mill criminals we’re talking about.” Gaius said, showing them the flower. “This is a message. It was left on the sill in Robin’s office.”

“A snapdragon.” Miriel observed simply, “It symbolizes deceit, does it not?”

“It does. It’s a message from the thieves’ guild.”

“What?” Sully stared at him, incredulous. “No way! We took down that band of fools ages ago. Hells, you were there! You helped us out!!”

Gaius nodded, recalling the days during the war when he’d provided the imperative information to take apart one of Ylisse’s biggest challenges; its organized crime ring.

He had been a part of it, long ago. Though it had served as little more than another avenue for him to bring in cash when he needed it. The ties had been cut long ago in an effort to preserve himself and his own interests. 

He needed to build trust with the Shepherds, and he wasn’t concerned about potential fallout. He didn’t have anything to lose, before. 

“They’re using Robin to get to me. They won’t give her back willingly, and I don’t know what they want to trade with me in exchange for her safety.” Gaius’ hands were on the table, scouring the maps in an attempt to avoid the pitying eyes of his friends and allies.”

“They want revenge.” Chrom’s hand was on his forehead, feeling the gravity of the situation increase exponentially. “If they were able to slip into the palace that easily, they knew how to navigate it. There must be a route that they took, right?”

“There’s a good chance they entered through the catacombs beneath; it would be most difficult to spot them there.”

“And where do these lead to?”

“There’s a network all throughout Ylistol. If they were able to access the royal catacombs, then they likely found an opening. And the entrances to the catacombs are…here, here and here.”

The group gathered around the map as it was marked at the southern and north-eastern sections of the castle.

“If they took that route…it would toss them pretty far from one of their hideouts. Hells, we could throw wyvern riders out there just to be safe, but it’s too open.”

His finger drifted from the southern point to the second marker, tapping his finger against the parchment.

“If they came out here…there’s a hideout 50 miles from here. It’s in the hills, and it’s tough to find; harder to get access to. If they‘re back in their hole, I wouldn’t doubt it’s this one.”

“And if they set up a new hideout? One you didn’t help us find?”

“Then I will spend every waking second hunting them down. I’m not leaving a single stone unturned.” Gaius vowed, his glare furious and filled with purpose. 

They were not going to get away with the foolish choices they made.

“Gaius, I understand your concern. Truly, I do. We’re all worried about Robin and Morgan. But I want to make sure you aren’t going to do anything rash.” Chrom said firmly, “We cannot risk you going rogue and getting injured because you lost control trying to get Robin back.”

“I would never let that happen.” Gaius snapped at him, “But you’re not gonna stop me from trying to find her. I’m not gonna lose her like this!”

“And you won’t. We’re bringing Robin home.” Chrom reassured him, looking tentatively to his knight commander. “But I don’t want you to get hurt trying to save her on your own. So promise you won’t go after her until we form a plan, as a unit.”

“A unit.” He repeated, his voice quieter. He looked around the room, “The amount of time it’ll take to get everyone ready is time we can’t waste. Just let me do this on my own!”

“We’re going to rescue her as a team- and that’s an order. Trust in us, Gaius.”

The thief was not happy. He was angry, and he was afraid. The guild didn’t work slowly, and they didn’t want her unless he came as a result.

There was no time to spare. 

Gaius bit his tongue and nodded, relenting to the Exalt’s command. He watched as the group returned their focus to the map, starting to draw together a strategy. 

They would form a final plan within a few hours, at least, and by then everyone would be ready to go.

As far as Gaius was concerned, a few hours was a waste of your time.

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

“Lord Chrom!!”

Sully’s voice rang out from the armory, where teh Shepherds had gathered hardly an hour earlier. She rushed to him and Lissa, her face pale and jaw clenched.

“Nobody can find Gaius anywhere.” She reported grimly, “And Cordelia reported that we’re missing a Master Seal from our stock.”

“Oh gods.” Chrom pinched the bridge of his nose. “He didn’t.”

“We need to move, quickly.” Frederick spoke from the side, looking just as grim as Chrom. “If he’s hunting them down we cannot risk letting him do more harm by acting alone.”

The Shepherds were whipped into an even more intense frenzy, rushing to go after not just their tactician, but a thief who likely just changed class to something even more lethal.

It was frightening to think what he was going to do next.

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

Gaius was able to find the guild fairly quickly, thanks to his lingering connections with Ylisse’s underground. 

Tracking the hideout down to the southern-most point of the kingdom was what caused the biggest headache. But once he found the entrance he was looking for, there was nothing left to lose.

His class change had brought with it a much more vast knowledge of paralytic poisons, with all sorts of fun side effects that might bring them to the edge of death, but nothing more.

The blades in his hands worked quickly in the cover of darkness, striking out and drawing blood at any thief unfortunate enough to pass him by. 

He was rushing through the corridors, the hideout in poor shape and poorly put together. It was clear they were in dire straits.

They would have been welcome to rebuild in his mind, before all of this. Now…well, it was going to be torn down by his own hand.

Veiled in black robes, he navigated swiftly towards their holding cells. It wouldn’t be long before he got where he needed to. 

If they were going to hold a prisoner anywhere it would be somewhere secure…especially given the status of their victim.

He climbed to the ceiling, drawing himself up onto the rafters when he reached the guarded doors.

 Two men, neither had sensed him yet. The wood creaked beneath his feet where he was suspended. Just as they looked up, a dart struck each of their foreheads.

They both fell silently, slumped to the floor.

That would buy him at least thirty minutes, before the poison wore off. He dropped and fetched the keys, swiftly unlocking the doors and descending deeper into the pit of the hideout.

He barely breached the doorway when he heard a familiar, dry laugh.

“It’s about time you came, boy.”

Gaius froze. Standing at the end of the hall, lined by rusting prison bars and stained blood across the stone. There, at the very end, stood his wife, a knife to your throat, your arms and legs bound.

“Robin-” His heart was in his throat. “Baby, are you hurt? What did they do to you?”

“She’s all right for now, Gaius. If you don’t want anything to happen to your wife, or your child, I would put your weapons down and get your hands up.”

They knew you were pregnant. Of course they knew. 

Gaius lifted his arms, taking his weapons out and dropping them to the ground as instructed. Then his hands were in the air.

“All right. It’s all on the floor- I don’t have anything else. Now let Robin go! She doesn’t have anything to do with this!”

“I’m well aware. You gave us all up for a shot at the good life, didn’t you? You thought if you sold out the pepole who took you in and taught you every damn thing you know, that you could live the high life. Have a cushy job in the castle…have a little family…you didn’t think that was gonna really happen, right?”

“Tell me what you want, and let her go- I’ll do whatever you want, so long as she doesn’t get hurt. Just leave her out of this!”

“I’d be happy to…if you hadn’t made such a poor choice. You got to pay for what you did, boy. So here’s what we’re gonna do.”

Gaius’ arms were suddenly yanked behind him, and a boot connected with his stomach before he could even blink.

“Gaius!!”

Your panicked call was quickl silenced with a press of the blade, drawing blood from your skin. Your captor shoved you forward, forcing you to clsoe the distance where your husband was writhing on the floor.

“This is what I want. We’re gonna beat the shit out of you, like you deserve. And then we’re gonna take your wife…you’re never gonna see her again. And as soon as that little brat of yours is born…they’re gonna be a real thief; my progeny. That’s your penance, for destroying the world we worked so hard to build. You spilled our blood…so I’m taking yours.”

Gaius reached his hand out, inches from where you struggled against your captor’s hold. This wasn’t happening. This was a nightnare. He couldn’t lose everything.

“N-no…please…” He gasped, fire burning his lungs with every attempt.

Instead, he got another boot to his stomach. Blood sprayed from his mouth. You sobbed.

“Stop it- stop it, damn you!! H-he can’t fight back!”

“No, he can’t. Looks like little Sticky-Finges Gaius has become a pathetic little creature. And now he gets to watch as we rip his entire reason for living right out of his hands.” The bastard sneered, a sick grin spread wide across his face. “Enjoy this moment, boy. It’s the last time you’ll ever see her face again. Though if you grovel…I might reconsider.”

“Huh…” Gaius’ hand touched the man’s boot, “I d-don’t think so.”

Suddenly, you were released, the man’s body contorting with pain. He fell to the floor, writhing and crying out. Gaius grabbed your wrist, pulling you to his side. He struggled to his knees, holding you to him.

“G-Gaius!” You felt him loosen the bindings, before the rumble came overhead. The ceiling shook, debris falling onto you both. “Gaius what did you do?”

“Poison charms. One of the many…many advantages of the assassin class. Though…I only have a few of those.” He managed, “He’ll be fine in an hour or so…but for now, he can suffer for wat he did…to you.”

“What’s going on upstairs?” You pulled the ropes off, before taking him in your arms, drawing Gaius to your chest. “Is that the Shepherds?”

“I’d a-assume so…they probably aren’t happy that I came for you without them.” 

“You did what??” You gasped, cupping his face to draw his hazy gaze to yours. “Y-you got beaten half to death and they didn’t know you came after me? W-what were you thinking?!”

“I needed…to make sure you…were safe.” He grunted, trying to swallow down the pain reverberating through every bone in his body. His hand fell to your middle, the smallest swell of a baby bump skimmed by shaking fingers. “I wasn’t gonna w-wait around while you were stuck here. If they hurt you…”

“I know. You stupid man.” You shook your head, pressing a kiss to his forehead and hugging him tight. “Let’s try to stop the bleeding while we wait for the others…I don’t doubt they’ll be here soon. And, um…thank you. I can’t imagine what you were going through when you figured out what happened.”

“Don’t worry about it…I wasn’t gonna stop for a second. Not even Blue could’ve kept me from g-getting you two home.”

“You’re a valiant man.” You murmured, squeezing him close. “Now stop talking so much. You’re gonna exacerbate the internal bleeding.”

Gaius nodded, relinquishing control to his dear wife. You did have a good point; the sensations he was feeling weren’t particularly pleasant.

He was able to stay conscious long enough to see Maribelle and Vaike come careening into the holding space, and could hear incoherent scolding when more Shepherds showed up.

When he came to, he found himself in a cot, tucked away in Southtown’s clinic. He would turn on his side to find everything still hurt, and he was tied up in bandages from head to toe…but that his wife was curled up beside him, sleeping soundly with his hand held to your chest.

Gaius accidentally woke you up by throwing his arms around you and hugging you as tightly as he possibly could, and of course peppering you with a thousand kisses that you couldn’t have escaped from if you tried.

You were safe. The baby was healthy, and both spouses would be assigned a long, gentle recovery period until you could return to work.

With plans in place to make sure that should Gaius ever have to leave your side again (which he would make absolutely sure happened as little as possible), he would be easily accessible and could hurry back to you.

The nightmare was over. Mercifully, he was able to bring his family back home. A fear he would spend the rest of his life ensuring would never happen again.

strong willed

willing to accept that he is not a romantic person and will see his job as important as you? and maybe more because he is pragmatic person

can compromise to some extent, but never that be conflicting with the person or their interest

Can't think of someone compatible with his in the TYPE0 world, but Emina can and might ruffle his feathers a little bit. idk.

ngl Aki Minahara could have a chance if she is a little bit older dlfkjsdkfs

anyway he looks for someone serious about the relationship.

he wants a family not just one night stand but he is afraid of making said family because of the crystal and dying and getting people's memories wiped clean.

basically, he does not want to be forgotten ...

uuh he can cook so he is not expecting the whole 'gender role thing'. as long as you are good in the things you like to do, then sure fine. tbh he prefers to cook. he is not big on eating other people's food. though he wont stop you from cooking. surprise him.

cats. tbh it is not something he can give up on for a partner???? because for him feeding and looking after the stray cats is an important part of his life. silly as it sounds but he takes it seriously.

he can compromise a little bit with the cat thing but don't expect him to stop going out to feed them.

[miumiins]

When do you plan to draw Gaius x Robin again ?\>////</

mahalo 🤗

[fe-fictions]

I’m a hopless romantic with my only hope being the fire emblem boys. Do you have any Angst left over from lonqu or maybe gauis

(How about Gaius having a nightmare about when you sacrificed yourself to Grima??? ;;; A ;;; )

It was such a common thing to wake up numb. It was two years, after all, of drinking himself to sleep and waking up feeling positively miserable.

However the misery that came from a hangover was far preferable to the misery of grief and heartache.

He was never much of a believer in anything besides himself, but he had to have faith that you would be home, again.

So when you really did show up it was world shattering in the best of ways. Everything was turned upside down the instant he felt your touch for the first time in years.

He just didn’t know what to do with himself unless he was attached to you. That entire first day having you back, it was impossible to get Gaius away from you.

As far as he was concerned, you weren’t getting out of his embrace for at least a decade.

He stayed awake long after you went to sleep that night, almost afraid that if he did, he’d wake up and realize it was all a dream.

When he eventually did drift off, though, he was pleasantly surprised to find you still there, sleeping soundly beside him. You looked like you’d been through the ringer, and it was clear you needed a good long rest.

So he stayed there, awake and alert, watching over you while your chest rose and fell beneath the bed sheets. How long had it really been since he’d shared his bed with you? Had it only been two years? It felt like a lifetime and a half.

He traced a finger along the side of your face, ghosting over your nose and lips, committing every inch of you to memory.  You breathed deeply, tugging on his heartstrings as you always did. Gaius smiled to himself. How precious.

With a soft, silent movement Gaius leaned over you, kissing your forehead. 

It wasn’t too early in the morning...he would need to at least get ready for the day. His initial plan was to get ready, make the Exalt’s breakfast, then return to you.

He didn’t make it out of the blankets.

Gaius turned to move away when your hand caught his wrist, gripping him just tight enough to make him realize you were awake and very interested in him staying.

“Do you have to work today?”

He resisted the urge to grin. It didn’t work.

“If you need me here, baby, I’m not going anywhere.”

“I do.” You were still sleepy, but determined. A deadly combination.

“Then I’m here.” 

Gaius settled in beside you, wrapping his arms around you and resting his head on your chest. Your fingers wound into his soft ginger hair, practically lulling him back to sleep in seconds. He sank into your touch, the sweet comfort of your warmth enough.

“I should probably let them know I’m not gonna be there this morning…”

“They’ll figure it out.” You mumbled into his hair, kissing the top of his head. “I don’t think they’d blame you.”

Gaius snickered, burying himself in your sweet hold. 

“Me, neither.”

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone

Hold Back #1 (Chrom X F!Robin & Gaius X Lissa Fanfic)

Wow, it’s been so long since I wrote something.

I’ve been focused more on brainstorming stories than doodling these days. Got several plans for these two pairings, but just hoping I don’t quit midway…

[pegasusknightsonly]

awakening luna planning

chrom/sumia obvs im not an idiot. usual inheritance goes (galeforce from sumia, aether from chrom). this run i had lucy go through sage and that wasnt great but it wasnt terrible either. ds+ and tomefaire gave it way more oomph than lucys raw magic would suggest. what else could lucy do if i want to give her a beast mode... hmm. i want to keep her in a sword class if i can. bow knight i guess after she finishes great lord

lissa/libra DONT FIX WHAT ISNT BROKEN MY FRIENDS !!!

what if i dont use wyvern panne. i mean thats stupid and i probably should but what if i didnt feel like it. the problem is that virion!yarne is really really good and frederick!inigo is absolute trash but frederick!yarne and virion!inigo are both Just Fine. i do really like virion and olivias support. hmmmm

gregor/miriel again its a classic for a reason. maybe i do nerdzerker laurent so i can keep lucy in a physical class

now unfortunately i need a magical girl to hang out with owain. i really dont want to use noire because tharjas base hit is so horrible. henry!nah ? henry!nah maybe??????????? str +3 mag +3 skl +2 spd -1 oof but what can you do with nowi lol lck +0 def +5 (??????) res +2

"what about robin" what ABOUT robin. i mean. rob/lon'qu. its a classic for a reason

ok how would we all feel about vaike!yarne and frederick!severa . now i know what youre saying and i agree that cordelia is virtually unusuable but severa is at least better. fred!sev is str +4 mag -2 skl +5 spd +1 lck +0 def +3 res +0 is like... i dont like spd +1 but i like the rest of the statline????

nnnnnnn i actually really like a +mag robin/sully........ str -1 mag +3 skl +3 spd +5 lck -2 def +0 res +3

but that gives us 6 girls 4 boys. so i probably need to commit to a m!morgan for balance. i DO want to use robin as a rallybot late game and frobin is much better for that bc of bride access so i dont want a 3rd gen morgan bc robin wont be seeing much combat. HMMM

wait hear me out on my new terrible idea. donnel!nah. str +3 mag +1 skl-1 spd -2 lck +5 def +5 res +2 for another armsthrift/sol build ?? orrrrrrr ricken!nah str +1 mag +4 skl +0 spd -1 lck +3 def +3 res +3 in sage or dark knight to bakc up what owain is doing......

buttttttttttt you KNOW i love mag robin/lon'qu which is a m!morgan with str +0 mag +4 skl +4 spd +6 lck -2 def -1 res +1 and i think nah and morgan could have a lot of fun together... early second seal ricken to archer to boost nowi's hit bc awakening manaketes use str instead of mag?

ok.

sumia!lucina (bow knight) x gregor!laurent (berserker)

chrom!cynthia (sniper) x virion!inigo (warrior)

gaius!kjelle (dark flier) x libra!owain (van/ven sage)

frederick!severa (...paladin? luna falcoknight?) x vaike!yarne (berserker)

ricken!nah (sage) x lon'qu!morgan (van/ven sorceror to sage)

+mag/-lck frobin (grandmaster -> dark flier -> bride -> falcoknight rallybot) x lon'qu (?trickster or griffon knight for +1 mov on pairup)

sumia (luna falcoknight flying support/speed rallybot) x chrom (bow knight / skill rallybot)

olivia (dancer) x virion (early promotion into sniper to maximise longbow chip damage?)

all other parents benched

[shinra-agent-phoenix]

Hey so I know your thoughts on Fandom shipping. Namely you don't like when people ship characters who are in a canon relationship with other people, or when the ship goes against a character's sexuality. Can you give a list of Canon ships and sexualities so we know what we can make fanart of this AU of? Like, what ships for these versions of the characters we can make fan content for?

I don't want to be killed for disagreeing with fanon, so I will not reveal sexualities. Well, ok. I will reveal 1. Edgeworth is AroAce in this AU. So no ships for him.

As for fancontent, I will list the Canon ships, though only for characters that have been at least named. So this will be updated. If you wanna make fancontent for my AU containing ships not on this list, please ask me. Also do not make NSFW fan content for this AU. At all. It makes me very uncomfortable. Even characters that can consent. I just hate all NSFW.

Anyway canon ships so far, including ships for characters who will only appear once in the entire AU:

Xiaomu x Reiji

Phoenix x Iris

Gumshoe x Maggey

Ron x Desirée

Kay x Eustace

Chrom x Sully

Robin (F) x Priam

Lissa x Ricken

Frederick x Sumia

Maribelle x Lon'qu

Gaius x Anna

Cherche x Vaike

Stahl x Tharja

Panne x Gregor

Henry x Olivia

Cordelia x Libra

Miriel x Donnel

Again this list will be updated as more content is released.

Update: I'm gonna add this before I get killed by fans. Yes, all the ships are a male character and a female character. No, this is not out of homophobia. The reason why is, I generally don't ship. And when I do ship, it's because I can connect to it. And I get vocal. And since I am Heterosexual (though maybe with the sec repulsion I'm Acespec? I dunno. But I am definitely Heteromantic), I only really connect to male and female pairings. But I don't like EVERY male and female pairing. I am very picky. Like I said, I don’t ship much. So please I beg of you, don't come into the asks and be mean because I don't ship a gay ship. The only ships I actively dislike are toxic ships, proships, and ships with toxic fanbases. I'm neutral towards most ships!

[captainschmoe]

more potential s supports for this new guy:

libra's daughter because his grandma is literally her god??

aversa's son bc see above (its robin x tiki's dynamic except second gen lol)

any other ideas? for pairings in general, not just him

I have names for them! Libra’s daughter is definitely Aries and Aversa’s son is probably going to be Béla.

Anyway (and these can be friendships, romances, or life partnerships btw):

- Gerome, mostly for how Chiko wants to become close to Minerva.

- Lucina, due to the friendship between Tiki and Marth, and how Tiki keeps Marth’s legend alive thousands of years after his passing; so too will Chiko insist on doing for Lucina and her story.

- Also Lucina and Frederick’s son, whom I’ve named Sinjin. Though he dislikes his father’s excessive zeal for the job, he is very fond of and devoted to his princess, and oopsie it looks like he’s going to be a bit of a nanny to her anyway because she can’t take care of herself for shit… and lowkey he kinda likes her.

- Not a pairing, but Virion’s son, whom I’ve named Philibert (pronounced “fil-a-bear”) has the hots for “Marth” and was disappointed to learn that she dropped the disguise. Then he starts reminiscing over how hot she was as a guy. To Chrom’s face. No fear.

- I think it’d be funny for Philibert and Inigo to argue about men vs. women like how Nina and Soleil do in Fates.

- In a similar vein, I think Jack (Henry’s son) and Gavin (Gaius’s son - also a very tentative name tbh) would beef over food preferences. Gavin hates sweets due to overexposure as a child, but loves savory and spicy foods. Jack is… not a spice hound. He almost dies.

- CHIKO AND CYNTHIA, end of discussion.
