After reading the bottom of the FE crossover post now I'm thinking about Desmond taking Azura's position of Nohr noble taken captive by hoshido and pushing Azura into more third party territory

From @shadowpack12

Please can we get a fanfic of Desmond in FE: Fates. Please! I’m begging

I cannot write a full fic for this but I can make up ideas. I hope that will be okay :)

The FE: Fates idea that this is talking about is the bottom part of this FE x AC idea I had.

I know you said Nohr royalty but hear me out.

Okay, so in this scenario, we’re going full on isekai’ed Desmond but with an additional caveat. He deages to the same age Corrin is when she was kidnapped. And, in this case, we’ll go further and make him the twin brother of Corrin (up to you whatever gender Corrin is) who Garon was unable to kidnap together with Corrin.

In this one, we can set it up with the idea that Desmond doesn’t remember anything and people around him believe that he has amnesia because of the trauma of seeing their father die and his twin kidnapped while he ran away.

Desmond isn’t sure if this is necessarily true.

It was also possible that he had been reincarnated as this prince who is also called Desmond (although it would probably be more accurate that people around this part call him Desumon… but they sound the same more or less anyway).

Desmond knows he has a missing twin and he is worried, absolutely worried, sure, but, at the same time, he was in a young child’s body with no real information about the world.

So…

He had no choice but to focus on growing up and learning everything he has about this world.

When Desmond turned fourteen, he starts to have dreams of a woman with flowing blue hair and wearing a white dress.

She would always be singing by the lake.

The dream would always stop before she turned around.

Fifteen years since Desmond had woken up in this world…

The dream changed and he finally sees the woman turn around.

And the first thing she ever spoke to him was…

“Please… save everyone.”

Before Desmond could say anything, he wakes up…

To one of servants informing him that his vassal Kaze has returned…

… with his long lost twin.

Unorganized Notes:

Since every royalty needs to have 2 retainers, Kaze will become Desmond’s vassal. In this situation, Kaze will be one of his retainers (sorry, Corrin). His other retainer would be Shura who Desmond took in when he saw guards of Hoshida deny him entry.

Desmond also took in all the other refugees and survivors from Kohga. Mainly because he couldn’t turn a blind eye to them but also… because he knew that their skills as ninjas would help him make his own Brotherhood.

Of course, there’s a bit of a “???” on the timeline considering Kohga was invaded by Mokushu before the Nohr-Hoshido conflict so either we tweak the timeline or we change this with Desmond making contact with Shura and the other survivors a few years afterwards. Either way, his relationship with Shura is more of a partnership where Shura and the other Kohga survivors and refugees are under Desmond’s protection and Desmond promised that he’d help them take back their country.

So Desmond had actually been in the process of making plans to take care of the Mokushu (and Kotaro) while creating his own Brotherhood when Corrin ‘returns’ to Hoshido.

Desmond knows he’s not blood-related to them but he still calls them his siblings. He and Ryoma respect one another but Desmond’s usual “I’ll throw away my honor if it means I can save people” makes him butt heads with Ryoma at times, mostly because Ryoma is worried just how ‘far’ Desmond is willing to go. Saizo is always serious and polite around him and Desmond likes to joke around just to poke at him. Saizo is also very hard on Kaze and always remind him to make sure to protect Desmond. Kagero is usually more reserved but she’s also the one who keeps trying to remind Ryoma to ease up on Desmond because she knows that Ryoma is trying but Desmond tend to misunderstand his words at times.

Hinoka and Desmond are close and Desmond sometimes treats Hinoka the way Ezio treats Claudia. Lots of teasing and light-hearted conversation. Hinoka is the one who always tries to remind Desmond to not take Ryoma’s words too seriously. Azama gives Desmond a headache at times but they’re not in bad terms. Desmond also worries a lot about Setsuna because of how reckless she can be.

Takumi has double the inferiority complex this time around because of Desmond and Ryoma being leagues stronger than him. It’s also annoying for him because Desmond talk to him a lot because Desmond could see Takumi’s inferiority complex a mile away and tries to help. He’s not sure if he’s actually helping and he’s acting the way he wished someone had acted around him with his own inferiority complex (and Desmond has loads of it considering he feels inferior to three Master Assassins and one Grand Master, add in a sprinkling of thinking William Miles is always disappointed at him). Oboro and Hinata both see this and they always love it when Desmond visits Takumi. Oboro is also the one who made the Assassin robes under Desmond’s ‘designs’ which she updated to feel more Hoshido-esque with Desmond’s approval. Hinata likes to spar with Desmond and uses the time they spar to talk about Takumi and how much they’re worrying about him. Desmond suggested they try treating Takumi more as a friend than their ‘boss’ as Desmond think Takumi might be lonely. The two are trying… with varying success.

Sakura loves Desmond and likes to call him ‘big brother’. Sakura actually grew up with Desmond taking care of her a lot of times (because Desmond likes to play hooky). It’s because of Desmond’s influence that she hides a dagger in her clothes and she knows how to use it. Sakura would probably be the most ‘changed’ among the royalties. Her personality is pretty much the same but she’s less shy and there are times when she can perfectly mimic Desmond. It usually means someone really bad is about to die. Hana has a crush on Desmond. Desmond knows it but he sees Hana as a little sister and treats her like, patting her head and such. That only makes Hana’s crush harder and Desmond finally understood how Altaïr felt towards Kadar. Subaki is always polite around Desmond and Desmond tries to make him ease up a lot but it’s taking a lot of time which Desmond is fine with.

(I skipped the other Hoshido characters because Desmond would probably not have met them until the start of the ‘main story’).

Speaking of which…

Corrin chooses Nohr in this situation and the Yato actually splits into two with Corrin receiving one and the other going to Desmond.

Desmond is driven by revenge as well but he also knows that Corrin’s devastation over the death of their mother is real which is why he tries to get more information while staying in Hoshido’s side.

After he meets Corrin once more, he doesn’t dream of the woman with blue hair but…

He receives her pendant at the same time Yato splits into two.

Desmond cannot transform into a dragon and no one knows why.

This one would feel like it’s going for a Conquest and Birthright route at the same time then will pull into the Revelations route after Desmond and Corrin finally talk (both of them trying to minimize the death count).

Once they get to Valla, they’re greeted by a message made of water from the blue haired woman who calls herself Azura. She tells them the truth… She made a deal with a ‘god’ from another world to pull the soul of a newly departed ‘hero’ into their world and to turn back time. That soul was Desmond. She did all of this because the real Corrin chose a path paid with blood (although it’s not clear if she chose Nohr or Hoshido) but the real enemy managed to push the world into a ‘bad ending’ of some sort even after all those sacrifices. In exchange for her ‘spot’, Desmond became Corrin’s twin. The message ends with Azura requesting them to defeat the true enemy of this world and bring true peace.

Azura is alive but she’s somewhere in Valla, only able to leave message to guide Corrin and Desmond that she had prepared beforehand so the two also made it their mission to find Azura as well.

ooooh now we're getting into conquest endgame.

loveblog time! just started slime!garon's level.

lol iago and hans' chapter was significantly easier than ryoma. still had to do a few resets but it was fairly straightforward.

unexpected dynamics i really enjoyed this route was: camilia/laslow! there's a winking-teasing sense of mutual indulgent self-aware humor especially from her to him, and i feel like he's got the right mix of flirty but adorkably sincereness for her. love camilia being the 'niles but female' competent kinkster and laslow being the goober.

speaking of her: i still love that camilia + hinoka scene so goddamn much. really need to do some more camilia/corrin yuri.

i also really enjoyed arthur x practically everyone; he's one of those that i probably will make an excuse to draw. dynamic with elise is easygoing and just great, his supports with benny are GENUINELY ADORABLE wtf, and he actually has a shockingly touching S support with azura. (azura gets a hell of a lot of great S supports). i'm not feeling his S support with corrin as much but he's just fun for the subversion factor.

kind of irl chuckled at corrin's support with elise with the training bit, cannot help but think that was corrin channeling a little of gunter there. :P

slime!garon is... mm. not doing it for me. awkward 'haha what the fuck?' vibe lol. points for creativity (i could see the application in a kinky hentai doujin or two god bless) but that's about it.

i'm really, really glad i actually completed revelation first. holy shit revelation's last four chapters were like "specifically designed to ANNIHILATE krad emotionally + id wise with a steel chair yeeting this villainfucker into orbit". this? ehh. i can see how CQ would appeal if you were a nohr royalty stan but ehhhhhhh, i would have much rather have seen garon's badass blight dragon form that i know you see in birthright. or at least some sort of tragic pathos to the whole posession thing. (obviously half the unsaid factor is it kinda leaves gunter's whole arc just limply hanging. there. though i'mma wait until the very last two scenes i know are coming up before throwing judgement on that)).

#there is like a good 60% i run through this tonight specifically for more gunter scenes b/c i am that fucking single braincell thirsty.#(i'm also like trying to “close out” conquest so i can actually focus on some other games/projects especially after YRMR lmao)#krad loveblogs conquest (casually)

It finally went back to the original 3% rate so I think I’m done with these brave heroes. What I got was:

Brave Soren x 3, Brave Corrin x1, Brave Robin x1, Brave Gullveig x1

Malice x2, Ranulf x2, Hinoka x1, Brave Ephraim x1, Hubert x1, Anankos x1, Phina x1, Sumia x1

Which is not bad but i don’t like it that I didn’t get many brave heroes copies. Last year I got at least 4 Chroms and 4 Tikis (and I don’t remember how many of the other two). And now ehh.

#I have 95/120 so I may try until 120 and get another corrin #robiin.txt

So Hinoka! I think it's fair to say that I don't like the pegasus archetype all that much in the 3DS games so I might be a bit harsher on her than on Mozu x)

She will easily get to 60% growths in most areas but will rarely get to 70% or plus, so it's best to focus on giving her skills allowing her to shine because her base can only get her so far. That means she will underperform unless put in one of two builds: a support unit with a sort of "aura effect", or rely on offensive skills.

As a support unit: her personal skill gives +2 attack to all allies in a 2 squares radius, which is already an alright boosts. The "optimal" way to build on that damage boost would be to get rally magic and strength (one from marrying Azama, the other from befriending Camilla), but would require gaining 3 levels in onmyoji and wyvern lord respectively, two classes that don't really complement her that well. But adding the rally speed she gets as a falcon knight and amaterasu as a kinshi knight, she will have a great aura effect and her rallies will let others be much more effective in combat even if they leave the area of effect. She will probably be outclassed in that role but this is still a nice, mobile option: add to this an okay staff use if you end up as a falcon knight (especially if you use a few spirit dusts to help her catch up) and the strength to be a good attack stance support and she has her utility

She is probably more interesting as an offensive unit because of her resistance. Her promotion path really nudges her toward mage killing (warding blow basically negating magic damage), and she can work fine there. You might want to grab a few skills on the way there to have a better offense: rend heaven from basara can compensate for her mid attack when facing physical foes, but it's not an extremely powerful skill. However, if you can marry her to Xander, Silas or a Corrin with the cavalier secondary class, you could get luna which works GREAT with her relatively high skill and speed. She's also not half bad as a paladin either so you might change her to this after getting warding blow (and/or spend some levels in great knight to also get armoured blow and get her to reduce almost all damage when on your turn, but this will also take some time), so you'll end up with a slight more balanced Hinoka. You can also marry her to Hinata, she'll be an adequate swordmaster, and astra works well with her, you'll have to teach her swords though. Spear master is also a possibility, but she will just repeat Oboro's role except with a lesser start with physical bulk. She'll outperform Oboro on every stat but defence though, so if you lose/don't want to use Oboro or don't know what to do with Hinoka, you can go for that. As I said Hinoka is fairly good in most physical classes, but won't really shine all that much

What build would you make for Mozu or Hinoka?

Okay so keep in mind that when I build units I don't really do it in a "normal" manner, I kind play the game almost solely to make stupid builds no matter the time it takes even if I have to farm a lot. Furthermore I have a few savefiles so I often use some amount of skill transfer, not a lot but sometimes I grab a few skills on another save to not waste levels on another. I'll still give more reasonable builds after detailing my 20 steps plan to make a godkiller. Knowing that:

Mozu is very fun because of both her growths and her easy access to profiteer. She can be a good multi use units, with resource utility and offensive power. Her main weakness is that she is fairly frail, and will probably not be able to survive too many hits.

My last run had her as a Kinshi knight for a few reasons: it has the same solid luck as merchant, second highest outside of strategist (hardly viable considering that magic is the one stat she has a growth below 10). While it has an inferior strength compared to other classes, kinshi knights have both great speed and massive range (flying movement + bow range). And because they use the same weapons as the merchants, the transition after you get profiteer isn't too hard. I wanted to give her a special niche along that so I decided to be very stubborn and farm her in a class she is absolutely not good at: sorcerer.

By befriending Nyx, she get access to the dark mage, which objectively doesn't work for her, but I have too much free time. I got her to level 15 in the sorcerer class (because of how the game works you only need to spend 4 levels in that class if you swap at level 11) solely for one skill: bowbreaker. That along the speed she gets as a kinshi and her great luck makes her near impossible for bow users to hit. That made her a weird case of flying archer killer which I thought was very funny, I could throw her in the middle of a bunch of archers and they'd all have 0%. Kinshi knight provides the highest luck cap, which she'll reach pretty easily. With this she'll have at least 30% chance of producing money every turn for 7 turn. If you are lucky/willing to grind the DLCs, you can get Anna's bow which gives a massive +5 luck for a skill and strength debuff every attack (her skill should be solid by now, and she doesn't need to kill or even attack to activate her skill so you can just equip it on her if there is a turn she doesn't have anything to do). Along with that, I gave her a bamboo yumi that gets her +10 avo, further enhancing her dodgetanking despite its weakness (it's not the rarest weapon to get at the lottery or on lucky spaces, you'll always end up having at least one and you will probably get to forge it to have it stronger). Along with Air Superiority she'll get as a kinshi knight, she'll also be able to avoid flyers and especially other kinshi. From there, she has the speed to rarely get doubled, the most precise enemies will have at best 20% or so hit rates with her, and she'll be producing lots of money while also providing decent supportive damage. If you go that way aptitude isn't gonna help you much as you'll be at equal or higher level than enemies, so you can drop it. From there there isn't much to add, you can grab life and death from Master of Arms and bowfaire to increase her damage output dramatically using a bow, both are accessible with second , add a longbow to increase her range if you fear she can't dodge everything or chip an enemy she can't reach.

If you want a less time consuming and more "realistic" build (aka "for someone who isn't as obsessed as me and doesn't have too much free time), Mozu's main advantage is her high speed and luck naturally leading her to dodgetanking. The most avoidant class is swordmaster (innate +10 avo along a nice +10 crit): marrying Ryoma will let her access it along with giving aptitude to an already powerful second gen unit. Between a whooping 85% speed growth with aptitude, 60% strength, 50% HP and skill, she'll be a reliable dodgetank, especially considering her personal skill let her regain HP on forest tiles (among other tiles), which makes her a good bait. She'll have the skill to activate Astra fairly reliably, and life and death from the master of arms class would again make her damage output insane, along with swordfaire that she'll get while progressing as a swordmaster. If you're in Conquest though, the next best option is probably marrying Arthur to get her to be a berserker. She doesn't get the avo bonus of the swordmaster but nearly as much speed, insane strength, and her innate skill growths counters the poor accuracy of axes, along with a 20% crit bonus that goes well with her good skill. Her sniper line can help her in that class: certain blow alleviates the axe inaccuracy. I wouldn't say gamble is really worth it but you can try it if your Mozu has a consistent enough hit rate, and since she'll be using only that weapon axefaire is good. Now if you want to have her solely as a player turn based unit, once again, life and death will have her obliterate people. If you want to use her good speed and strong HP as bait however, getting strong riposte and sol can help with that. Sadly since Conquest doesn't allow much grinding outside of DLCs, you can't go too insane, but her only friendships options there are Effie which gives class that'll probably affect her speed negatively, or Nyx, which. Yeah, without even more grinding the skills that could work with her aren't accessible. If you count the Heirs of Fates DLC rewards, you can get speedtaker or strengthtaker, preferably the first for swordmaster and the second for berserker (those skills cannot be used at the same time so no use getting both on her), and if you make a revelation berserker, befriending Oboro

Now, for Hinoka. She's a bit trickier because she's the balanced "jack of all trades master of none" type of character. Her growth rates are all around 40 without class bonus beside her magic at 15 and her defence being a little lower than the rest at 35. That means she isn't really bad anywhere, but she doesn't really stand out either. She is the kind of characters that you might have on the map but realise soon that whatever she can do, others will do better despite having more glaring weaknesses than her. However her base skill, resistance and speed stats are good, and she always joins with a guard naginata which is a pretty rare weapon. So for her, we have solid bases

#sorry if it doesn't make sense I am a bit sick and sleep deprived #also Hinoka often ends up benched on my playthroughs while Mozu consistently makes it to endgame so I have less advice about her X)#I was convinced Oboro would outperform Hinoka in most stats as a spear master tbh but checking the growths #I think I just got very very lucky with my Oboro so far #she ends up with 30+ def effortlessly and the strength to destroy most enemies in one round #Fates build

Age Swap AU Pairings

A list of who gets together and my opinions/reasons for these pairings.

This will be specifically for a Revelations Route, so if you wanna ship different combinations of characters in this AU, I won’t stop you.

I also won’t be getting into the Child Units (yet.) With all of that in mind, here’s the ASAU Pairings:

Corrin X Azura. I mean… it’s Corrin and Azura. How can I not? Especially since they’re not altered in this AU, but their kids are. Imagine big sibling Kana little brother Shigure dynamic.

Sakura X Hana. I’m as much of a sucker for Sakulise as the next FE14 fan, but honestly the bond these two have and have had for easily a decade at this point just overrides the softness of Adult Sakulise. Shiro is their son with Ryoma serving as a surrogate father.

Elise X Effie. Same as with Sakura and Hana, Elise and Effie’s bond in this universe (realm?) is just too strong for me not to pair them together. Siegbert is their son with Xander serving as a surrogate father.

Takumi X Oboro. This is a cute pairing, what can I say? Can you tell I’m a sucker for Liege X Lord pairings? Also, just imagine cute and sweet Kiragi making his mom’s Demon Face.

Leo X Niles. I don’t even know how to put my feelings on this pair into words, so I’ll just trust y’all to accept it. Forrest is their son with Beruka serving as a surrogate mother.

Hinoka X Hinata. This pairing is unique since it’s the only time I don’t ship a lord with their non swapped retainer (or another lord) but honestly I just like the himbo samurai/tomboy princess dynamic. Also protective older cousin Hisame is interesting.

Camilla X Beruka. Cute but strong Malig and her scary Assassin waifu? What’s not to love? Also Niles served as a surrogate father so they raise Nina together.

Ryoma X Xander. I decided to pair these two together since I figured I should do at least one pairing between a Hoshido and Nohrian royal. Since they couldn’t have kids with each other, they agreed to be surrogates so their oldest sisters could have kids, allowing Shiro and Siegbert to exist in this world.

Jakob X Charlotte. A very… very chaotic duo. This was simply a duo born from the fact that they were kinda just leftover after I paired off most of the other characters. Add super strength to Dwyer’s mountain of secret skills.

Silas X Felicia. One: they’re cute. Two: imagining Sophie inheriting Felicia’s clumsiness and ice magic is equally hilarious and terrifying.

Kaze X Orochi. Stoic ninja who struggles with feeling like he failed his liege due to something out of his control plus merry diviner who struggled with feeling like she failed her liege due to something out of her control equals both fun shenanigans and absolute angst. Also imagining Midori being able to somehow use a combination of Divining and her Medicine could make her a force of nature in her own way.

Saizo X Kagero. What can I say, I’m a sucker for this duo too. I’m sure they could be happy together once Saizo learns to stop having the personality of a cactus. Plus having two Ninja parents probably makes Asugi a super ninja.

Laslow X Selena X Odin. If I was gonna have Corrin get with Azura, an OT3 would be needed so all the kids would be capable of existing and I’m just a sucker for this trio. I’ll be using Henry!Laslow, Robin!Selena, and Lon’qu!Odin. Soleil inherits the Fell brand, Ophelia inherits the Exalts’s brand, and they get to be awesome redhead step sisters. Sorry to anyone who ships these two.

Azama X Subaki: …ok, look, so far I’ve done three wlw and only two mlm pairings. Two more guys were gonna have to get together. And after I saw these two, reread their supports, then read @unassumingvenusaur’s fanmade S Support for them, I wound up enjoying this pairing immensely. Also for the sake of not having to do anymore surrogates because this is getting complicated: Transmac Subaki (which I feel could not only make his backstory more interesting given the implications of how terrible his parents are) allowing for them to have a brown haired Caeldori and a red haired Mitama who are sisters.

Arthur X Setsuna. Apparently luck works like integers because when you combine an unlucky Fighter with an equally unlucky Archer, you get a doubly lucky Wyvern riding super hero. Also imagining dorks like Arthur and Setsuna together is just adorable tbh.

Kaden X Peri. When I don’t pair Peri (heh) with Laslow, I usually pair her with one of the furries so I can create an absolutely terrifying Kitsune/Wolfskin. In this case I decided that Peri would be Selkie’s mother and the rest of the army gets to suffer then consequences.

Hayato X Mozu. One: this is basically genderswapped Cyril/Lysithea and Donnel/Maribelle which already makes it a win. Two: Rhajat with Mozu’s hair and freckles is a hilariously adorable image.

Benny X Rinkah. Gentle giant meats muscular spitfire to create flaming good boy.

Keaton X Nyx. Yes, let’s pair the most mature woman in the army who considers herself a monster with one of the most immature guys in the army who can turn into a monster.

Feel free to share your opinions on the pairs, I’ll probably talk more about the child units in the future.

Unbreakable Bonds

Happy birthday to my friend! Barely made it in time, too! This is for a friend of mine who’s been with me for a long time, and despite whatever’s distance’s been put between us, I know our bonds are stronger than anything that’s put on our ways. I wanted to express these feelings with this homage to his favorite character from Fates, Hinoka, filled with my best wishes for him; and for us. May they never break!

Winter was approaching Castle Shirasagi with each passing day. But still, a bright red-haired princess made sure to wait every single day by the outer gardens for her cherished little brother and father to come back from their expedition.

Princess Hinoka was swinging her little legs over the enzawa, eagerly looking at the royal outer garden, expecting their return. “When do you think they’ll come back?” She would ask at least once per day, always making sure to have her meals on rooms leading to the garden.

Mikoto would laugh and pat the little girl’s thick and long hair. “They’ve been gone for only a little while, Hihi. Please be patient.”

She would pout and puff her cheeks and say “But I wanna play with Corrin now!” before turning back to the gardens and waiting.

Honestly, she would have preferred the waiting to the news that followed soon after.

It was a chilly afternoon, the red and orange of the trees painting a melancholy picture alongside the somewhat crimson sunset when an uproar began at the gates. Saizo the Fourth stormed through, his body beset with wounds as he held the legendary sword Raijinto close to his chest, his own son, Kaze, strapped on his back, with profuse bleeding.

“Queen Mikoto!” He kneeled on the floor, the last of his strength being used to make him stay conscious. Young Prince Ryoma followed close behind, dirty but seemingly unscathed. “As soon as our party arrived, there was an ambush at Cheve and my Lord--” he hesitated, the words hard to say. How could have he outlived his liege?! “My Lord Sumeragi fell in battle to protect Young Master Corrin.”

Mikoto took both hands to her face in shock. “Oh no! Saizo, please, tell me it isn’t so!” She knelt in front of the ninja and shook his shoulders, the blue lightning characteristic from Raijinto resonating with the Queen’s anguish.

A thud could be heard beside Saizo: Ryoma fell on his knees; exhausted, but mostly blaming himself for what had happened. “It’s true, Mother…” He choked a sob, trying to be strong despite his young 12 years. “K-King Garon himself l-led the attack and… and took Corrin with him…”

“NO!” A yell from behind them, back at the palace, made the young prince lift his head towards the approaching little girl. “It’s not true! It can’t be true!” Hinoka held Ryoma by his shoulders, their heights almost the same despite his kneeling position. Tears clouded her eyes so, she could only see blurs. “W-where’s Corrin? Where’s Dad? Tell the truth!”

Ryoma’s lips trembled and his eyes burned with tears. “I-I’m not lying, Hinoka,” he said, sniffling, acting too grown-up for his age. “I s-saw it myself…”

“Dad, what do you wean that we’ll get a new bwother and a new Mommy?” The little girl asked, tugging on her father’s pants. She never had a little brother before! What was it like?

With new-found strength, Hinoka pushed the oldest prince to the ground. “THEN WHY DIDN’T YOU HELP HIM?!” She yelled atop of her lungs. “Father said to protect our young siblings, always, right?! WHY DIDN’T YOU?!” She cried, tears rolling down her cheeks so fast even her voice was choked from the sobs.

The first time she met the young boy, Hinoka felt a pang of pain in her heart. He was so small; his skin was so pale -- his bright red eyes went super well with her hair, too! She immediately hugged the toddler, not understanding what she was feeling.

“That’s your new little brother, Hinoka.” Sumeragi had said, crouching down to their eye level, patting his oldest daughter on the head. “We will always be together from now on, so as his new big sister, you’ll have to protect him.”

Flabbergasted, it took Ryoma a few seconds to react. “I- I tried, but Naomasa-- he took me out of the way!”

Late King Sumeragi’s retainers, Naomasa and Saizo. Like his master, Naomasa was an esteemed swordmaster with outstanding speed, but not even that skill was enough to take him out of the ambush with life. He protected the young prince with everything he had, but perished from his wounds during the trip back. Saizo himself collected Sumeragi’s helmet and sword before ordering the retreat -- he would outlive one master, but not two. Prince Ryoma’s safety was imperative.

Hinoka tried and failed to dry her tears with her kimono’s sleeve as they kept falling. Medics and healers from all over the palace started surrounding them, worried for the prince and for the young Kaze, the young soul who used his body to protect Corrin from stray arrows.

Mikoto, Saizo and Yukimura talked, their voices dying by the servants’ uproar around them. Voices from every side, heating the moment.

But for Hinoka, her heart was cold. The wind was cold. The stupid weather was growing colder by each day. She clenched her small hands so much her entire body trembled. “Why… why wasn’t it you?” She murmured.

Still on the ground, unable to get up due to his sister’s rage, Ryoma looked up to her. “Wh-?”

“WHY WASN’T IT YOU THE ONE THEY TOOK?!” She yelled over everyone’s voices. “Corrin did nothing wrong! He was- HE IS your little brother! Why did you fail to protect him, WHY!!” She stomped her foot on the floor before jumping towards Ryoma, intent on mauling him for leaving Corrin behind.

Reina, who was monitoring the situation around her Lady, held the eldest princess back. “It’s not his fault, Lady Hinoka,” she said without looking at the little girl, focused on her liege; more worried about Lady Mikoto than anything.

Hinoka struggled, her feet dangling off of the ground. “Let me go! Let me go!! I’ll find Corrin myself!” She pushed the woman’s hand away and jumped on the floor once more, her tears momentarily dried. “While you’re here worrying about what happened I’ll rescue my precious- MY CORRIN!”

After saying that, she ran. She ran without looking back; without knowing where to. Was Nohr far? Which gate should she use? She needed to get out of the castle and do something!

Mikoto’s hand stood helplessly in front of her as she watched the small back getting smaller, her heart wrung with worry and grief. The Queen then clutched it over her chest and glanced at her retainer. “Would you please keep an eye on her? She needs her time now…”

“My Lady, I’m not worried about the Princess… Are you well? The news…” Reina turned to Mikoto, wondering how could she still remain calm after hearing that her husband died and that her child had disappeared.

The Queen’s smile was so filled with sorrow it was a wonder the corners of her lips went up at all. She then gestured to the young boy covering his face with his arm, the small body trembling with grief. “Before being a woman, I am a mother and a Queen. I shall grieve when I have time to do so. Until then…” She looked at where Hinoka had disappeared to before kneeling down to hug her eldest son. “Shh, my boy. It is going to be alright. Mother’s here now.”

In her blind rage, Hinoka’s feet took her to the barracks, and she instantly realized that she would need a weapon to fight the nohrians, damned be them! Her small chest went up and down from the run, her disheveled hair and kimono doing nothing to stop her from going to a weapon rack to take a training naginata.

But it was far too heavy for her and she fell on the floor while holding it, hitting her head. The pain only made her overly aware of the void inside her heart and she felt the tears coming back once again.

“I pwomise! I’ll pwotect--” She turned to her older brother by her side, “WE’LL pwotect him, right, bwother?” She said with the brightest smile Ryoma had ever seen. Having a little brother had awakened Hinoka’s protective side and he understood that. Looking at both of his little siblings only brought warmth to his heart. He would protect them.

She would protect her little brother. She would fight, she would bring him back.

And then… and then she could finally hug him for days and tell him she would be there for him while Dad couldn’t. She would be the spear fighting for him and by him. And then they would all be happy again. Their family would be whole again.

“C-Corrin…” She sniffled, getting up and pulling the naginata with all she had. “D-dad…” She sobbed, barely seeing the way ahead, her body already tired from pulling that stupidly big log or whatever that was. “Corrin… Dad…” She repeated like a mantra, each word a new step she gave towards the exit.

Then towards the garden, then to the forest towards which it connect with.

“CORRIN!! DAAAD!!” She called as she deviated deeper into unknown territory, wondering if she was already in Nohr. “I’M GONNA SAVE YOU!” She cried, her arms numb from mauling the weapon around the uneven territory, her back, bare feet and shoulders burning from the exercise. It was already so cold, she HAD to be in Nohr by now.

The Princess hadn’t realized that she was walking during the first snow of winter -- her red hair was almost entirely covered by snow, her body shivering due to her disheveled kimono and bare feet. “I hate this… where are you, Corrin…? Dad, please, please come back so I can bring Corrin home…” She plopped on the ground, never letting go of the spear. Then, she yelled to the increasingly strong wind: “I’M GONNA BRING YOU BACK, CORRIN!” finally crying her eyes out after, exhaustion reaching its peak on her small body.

She cried for what it seemed to be hours, and finally Reina made her appearance. “Princess Hinoka,” the retainer called, crouching beside the young girl.

Hinoka raised her head, startled. “Reina!! Reina, take me to Nohr! I’m going to bring Corrin back on my own!” Her tiny lips trembled, almost purple with cold, but she didn’t seem to care -- only her brother’s safety was important.

Reina put one finger over her mouth in thought. “As much as I would love to go on a nohrian killing spree right about now, I have my duties as a retainer to follow. If you want to save the Young Master, you’ll have to do it yourself, Princess.”

“T-then!”

“But it’s not going to be now. Look at you.” The woman pointed to the naginata with her chin. “You can barely lift a weapon as you are now.”

The Princess choked a sob, aware of her own helplessness, pressing her lips into a line with such force she pouted, holding back the tears. Reina pointed at the little girl.

“There. That.” She nodded and got up, extending her hand to the princess. “Remember these feelings and focus them on training. You’ll have to train hard. Every single day. You’ll have to train until you can lift that,” she pointed to the naginata, “and all of its sisters you left scattered around the barracks. You’ll have to train until it becomes a second nature to you.”

Hinoka was silent for the first time that day, her mind finally focusing on something other than blindly chasing her brother. On strength.

Seeing how the princess’ eyes lit up, Reina went on. “Only then you’ll be able to fly towards Nohr and rescue your brother. I will proudly fly by your side when the time comes.”

Reina was a strong woman, Hinoka knew that. She had turned down countless offers of higher positions in the army; those with more responsibilities and paperwork -- but she refused them all for the sake of protecting her Lady. Hinoka had seen Reina fight, or at least school the younger recruits on the art of the naginata, both on the ground and in the air.

She would learn. She would fight.

She would fly to Nohr when she had the chance -- the day Reina acknowledged her skill would be the day she would be ready to rescue her brother.

Wait for me, Corrin, she thought as she took Reina’s hand.

I’ll come for you, she thought on the day she cut her hair short so it wouldn’t get in the way of her training. Big Sister’s changing but I’m still the same inside. I’ll always protect and love you. She thought as she fought, as she bled and as she cried during her training.

Reina was made captain of the Kinshi Knights, but still doubled those responsibilities with her duties as retainer, always making sure to train with Hinoka whenever she had the time to. Ever since that day, the princess didn’t break her word (though she did try to run to Nohr one time and fly to it on another after she learned how to ride pegasi) and tirelessly trained her body to fight at the frontlines. Reina would fulfill her promise to Hinoka.

Once she came back from a Faceless raid at the border.

“Ugh, it’s snowing,” Hinoka muttered under her breath, throwing another javelin right into a faceless’ collarbone, killing it instantly. She hated the cold, it reminded her of the day Corrin had been taken.

“D-Did you say something, Big Sister?” Sakura held her sister’s arm, wary of the approaching Faceless. “A-Are we going to be okay? You’re stuck here on the ground to protect me, but the Faceless a-are only increasing…”

“Hah, it’s going to be fine, Sakura. Really. Big Sister is strong, remember?” She flexed with a smile to put the younger princess at ease. The girl smiled and nodded in response.

“R-Right…” Sakura looked to the mountains around them and felt the ground slightly shaking. “Oh! Someone activated a Dragon Vein that way!” She pointed south, towards the holy city.

Hinoka put one hand over her eyes to shadow them from the sunlight and smiled. “Oh! I wonder if Ryoma heard about the attack. That’s great, right, Sakura? We’ll be home earlier than expected.” She nudged her little sister, who giggled, the concern she felt previously melting away like the snow did under the DV’s Ryoma activated one after the other.

Looking at her brother’s direction, Hinoka thought she saw someone familiar with him. There he was, in red. Then Kaze, then Rinkah… but the other person was dressed differently than the other three. They had white hair-

“It can’t be!” Hinoka gasped, immediately gripping at her pegasus’ reins. Sakura’s exclamation of surprise beside her stayed the princess’ hand, however.

“B-big Sister?”

Stay calm. Don’t be brash. Remember your training. “It’s okay, Sakura. Sorry for startling you.”

The gods couldn’t have been so good to her. It was too good to be true. It couldn’t be him.

And yet… after the fight was done and she could see him from up close, she instantly recognized him: Her Corrin. Her beloved, her adored and precious Corrin.

Sakura shyly introduced herself, not realizing Corrin was her long-lost brother. But Hinoka could never forget. Not that pale skin; not the endearing red eyes; not the adorable pointy ears. She would never forget any of it.

Shock held her in place, her eyes trailing to Ryoma’s, who stood behind Corrin. He simply nodded in understanding, which was enough to make Hinoka’s eyes burn with tears.

“His name is Corrin, Sakura.” She said, her voice shaky. “He’s… he’s finally home…” She broke down in tears, throwing herself in that foreign yet so familiar chest, squeezing him with everything she had. “He’s come back to us!”

Note

Ok, so I know you’ve written about your Awakening and Three Houses pairings, but have you got any Fates content for us?

Have you even played Fates for that matter?

I haven’t actually played Fates, and I don’t know many of the characters beyond Corrin and the siblings. Also, some characters from Awakening are inexplicably there?

That being said, I have some pairings among the siblings I like.

Corrin(F and M) x Azura: Destined soulmates and all that.

Ryoma x Camilla: Uptight do-gooder with the morally ambiguous slightly crazy one? Sign me up!

Xander x Hinoka: Two type A personalitys clashing yet working well together. Love it.

Takumi x Leo: What’s better than one tsundere cute boy? TWO CUTE TSUNDERE BOYS!

Elise x Sakura: Smol gay beans being adorable together. Love it.

Entry 10: Geneva Convention Speedrun

Before doing anything else, I built a Prison in the castle so I can test out Orochi’s personal skill. Birthright allows the player to replay old maps for EXP, so I tested it out on one of those maps. I had Orochi go up to a random enemy soldier and use her Capture ability, which knocked him out. When I got back to the castle, he was imprisoned. I had my most terrifying, intimidating soldier, Sakura, go into his cell and convince him to join us. She screamed a bunch like she was being murdered and then walked out with our new soldier: Kenshi the Oni Savage.

Kenshi

Why am I even doing a character profile on this guy? He’s a generic enemy I kidnapped. Whatever, he’s part of the team now. I shall treat him with love and respect.

Hey, minor thing that’s unrelated to anything that I feel like mentioning: the Geneva Conventions forbid forcing POWs to fight for you. Corrin is a war criminal. I mean, that isn’t big news, considering the fact that Sakura is by definition a child soldier, but still. So many war crimes.

Speaking of child soldiers, we got Hayato at the end of last chapter.

Hayato

Hayato is another Diviner and the son of Fuga, the buff dude we fought last chapter. His personal skill makes him fight better against higher level opponents, which is fitting for a character with an inferiority complex. Personality wise, he seems kinda rude about characters treating him like a kid, which is dumb because he is a kid. Maybe the game will do something with his wanderlust. Is it just me or does Hayato look a lot like Ricken from awakening? I mean, they aren’t identical like CERTAIN CHARACTERS, but they’re both short young mages wearing blue with red hair and brown eyes. It’s weird. Speaking of his design, I think Hayato’s is fine? It isn’t bad, it’s just kinda okay. Way too similar to Ricken’s though.

Support: Azama/Setsuna

C: Setsuna does chores and Azama sarcastically mocks her. Setsuna is too stupid to understand that he’s being a dick.

B: Setsuna tries cooking. She makes food that is unholy.

A: Setsuna, thanks to Azama’s sarcastic advice, goes into a zen state and creates the greatest meal Azama has ever had.

S: Setsuna proposes to Azama.

Review: A very shallow support line, admittedly. Setsuna’s incredible stupidity is amusing, but Azama comes off as a jerk and the two of them do not work as a couple.

Support: Kaze/Saizo

C: Kaze asks Saizo about his quest to avenge their murdered father, pointing out that Saizo is motivated solely by his desire for revenge and loyalty to Ryoma. Saizo hints that there may be something else fueling him before running off.

B: Kaze challenges his brother to a duel, under the condition that Saizo comes clean if Kaze wins. Saizo decides to just explain things to Kaze. Years ago, Saizo confronted the man who murdered their father but failed to kill him, losing his eye in the process. Saizo hid this fact for years out of shame.

A: Kaze apologizes for allowing Saizo to carry the burden of his revenge alone and vows to make amends, promising to become Saizo’s new eye.

S: This is a great support line that expands Saizo’s backstory, explaining his scars and grumpy mood, while also establishing a solid relationship between the ninja brothers.

Support: Hinoka/Sakura

C: Sakura, while watching her sister train, laments that she isn’t brave and tough like Hinoka.

B: Hinoka praises Sakura for her kindness, stating that their love for their family members is what they have in common.

A: Sakura and Hinoka decide to train each other. They hug.

Review: A sweet, but ultimately lacking support line. I do like Sakura’s feelings of inferiority and desire to have Hinoka be proud of her, but ultimately this support line is just the two of them explaining things we already knew.

Support: Corrin/Hayato

C: Hayato is sending charms back to the Wind Tribe. Corrin encourages him to send a letter with them. Hayato freaks out, because he’s never written a letter before.

B: Corrin helps Hayato write a letter, recommending that he tell his family that he isn’t scared of ghost stories any more. Hayato objects, and instead writes about his battle prowess. On Hayato’s suggestion, Corrin also decides to write a letter.

A: Hayato sends off his letter and Corrin gives him hers, which is filled with her gushing about how awesome he is and embarrasses him. Hayato decides to write an embarrassing letter for Corrin in response.

S: Hayato writes a letter about how cute Corrin is and how he’s in love with her. They get engaged.

Review: This support was...weird. It’s a “comedic” support, but it isn’t very funny. The letter writing concept is odd, but I suppose it makes sense for Hayato. I will say that this one flows into the S-Rank conversation better than most, but that’s about all that works.

Paralogue 1: Tragic Start

Fire Emblem games often feature side levels called Paralogues. Most of the Paralogues in Fates are linked to a specific route, so I’ll be doing them after their route is done. The exception is Paralogue 1, which is available for all three routes and will be done now.

The chapter opens by showing a herd of faceless destroying a small village and killing the mother of Mozu, one of the villagers. Team Corrin hears the screams and runs in to save the day. They find Mozu cowering in a thicket, hiding from the faceless. Corrin comforts her over the death of her family and Mozu decides to fight to avenge her family, joining the army.

Mozu

Mozu is our obligatory small child who can’t fight but has really good stat growths because of her personal skill. Like Donnel from awakening. Honestly, identical to Donnel from Awakening. To be fair, she does have some characterization about her being the sole survivor of her village, which might come up in supports. Her design is fine; a bit plain, but that works for her character. I am unnerved by how young she looks for a character in a game about soldiers and marriage, though.

The enemies in this chapter are fairly weak. I bolted Corrin over to Mozu with Subaki and recruited her. I decided to try and have Mozu kill as many faceless as possible, to avenge her dead family. Mozu can’t take a hit and does one damage, or zero in some cases, but it was doable. I positioned her next to Corrin, made sure to only fight one enemy at a time, had Hana weaken enemies with a kodachi, and healed Mozu constantly with Sakura. After thirty-three long turns, Mozu killed all of the faceless and reached level eight. Still, it was worth it. Those seven levels of high growths made her go from doing one damage per hit to doing five.

After the battle, Mozu is left wondering what to do with her life since, you know, everyone she ever knew is now a corpse. Corrin suggests she join the team, but only until they find a good home for her, because Mozu is a child and they are an army. Mozu decides to join their cause, despite having literally no idea what they’re fighting for.

So that’s another child soldier. God, child soldiers, forcing POWs to fight for you, invading Hoshido and killing border guards, killing enemy medics...Corrin’s speedrunning the geneva conventions.
