[jejesart]

Hi, I’m a new follower and I love your art. Could you say who your favourite Fire Emblem pairings are, plus any other pairings from other series?

awwww thank you!!!!! ho boy this is gonna be LONG ill put it under read more you better be prepared HAHA

ok so for fire emblem first!!!!! i’ll go per series (the ones ive played) to limit them lmao and also because im gonna ramble (im sorry i dont even know if you play all of them but im feeling talkative today just ignore the ones you dont know lol)

fe sov: berkut/rinea. the way he loves her…. and wants her to smile…….. and shes happy simply just being with him………. at least im thankful for feh since theyre together happily there. watch me as i +10 rinea!!!!

fe4 holy war: finn/lachesis. ok i only play fe4 halfway the first gen so i cant say much but i read the manga and it makes me ship finnchesis so much!!! he fills the hole left by eldigans death in her heart…….. and she enjoys his company so much he becomes someone very important to her i love slow-building love

fe6: roy/lilina. i havent finished this im stuck at one chapter and i dont feel playing it lmao but im weak for childhood friends!!!

fe7: imma cheat on this one THE FIRST ONE IS ELIWOOD/NINIAN THEY HAVE MY HEART AND SOUL. hes super gentle to her and theyre completely lovestruck with each other throughout the game i just…… cannot not ship them………….. the second one is kent/lyn because liege/knight pairing is my other weakness lmao. and their support!!!! lyn wants to be more than just his lady ugh their a support is so good

fe8: joshua/natasha. not much to elaborate here really but its love at first sight for him you cant change my mind

fea: HENRY/OLIVIA IS JUST. SO. GOOD. he shows his real emotions because of her!!!! without realising he falls so hard for her!!!! ALSO INIGO BEING HENRYS SON FITS SO MUCH not to mention hes the only one who looks good with white hair among the fea kids lol

fef: m!corrin/azura, since they share somewhat same backstories i think they find consoles in each other’s company. also idk if you play feh but theres this one version of corrin that shows up in young azura’s dream world, and his dialogues are very azura-centered, much more than his female counterpart, and they all say he just wants her to be happy im crying (esp remembering her fate in birthright and conquest :v)

fe3h: felix/annete theyre just!!! so cute!!!! felix cant stop thinking of her???? and super soft to her unlike to the others????? she unknowingly makes her way into his heart ughhhh. i also like cyril/lysithea a lot, i really cant choose between them.

feh: not a main game but alfonse has all my uwus so i have to say this…… i love alfonse/summoner!!!! alfonse refusing to get close to any hero but ending up getting super close to the summoner……… he trusts them so much!!!! seriously like 80% of alfonses dialogues are related to the summoner and lemme tell you i squeal every time he talks about them lol

moving on for other series i’ll do another list for the series that are on top of my mind!!!

kny: (you must have seen this coming) GIYUU/SHINOBU OH MY GOD I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY. for shinobu, since she always dons kanae’s smiling mask, i think shinobu finds comfort in teasing giyuu since she can be a little bit like herself when doing that, like a small breather. for giyuu, since he isnt close with other pillars, i think he appreciates shinobu’s company, even though she keeps teasing him. THEY ALSO HAVE PARALLELS they lose their sisters and they hate their own circumstances (giyuu with him passing the final selection without doing anything and shinobu with her physique). and his shocked face when she [redacted]????? man i will forever be sad about that. and a side note i like tanjirou/kanao a lot! kanao defends aoi and the girls because she remembers tanjirous words. she legit cries because shes relieved tanjirou is alive. she even raises her voice to keep others quiet because she worries about him. tanjirou is a changing force in her life!!!!

gbf: gran/lyria. their lives are intertwined………… they literally cant live without each other………. and gran is so protective to lyria ugh i love that!!!! ALSO THE ANIME!!!!!!!! theres one original story episode about lyria almost dies because she hates her existence so much she wants to disappear but gran brings her back……………. not by his own actually but like he promises to always be there for her or something like that theyre just so cute. additionally i love lucio/djeeta a lot because lucio is sexy af HAHAHA BUT!!! you also have to look at this before you judge me

fairy tail: natsu/lucy. theyre my comfort otp i think??? like i still lurk in their tags and search for their fanfics til now. i also sometimes reread their moments in manga because i love them that much. SHES HIS HOME GDI and natsu legit doesnt join a fight because hes super worried about lucy after her fathers death oh my god. my favourite moment is when natsu uses lucy fire its just so funny but describes their relationship so well!!!

ok i better stop here or else the post will never end HAHAHAHA its so long already im sorry if you read all of that

[seliph]

dont ask me why i thought of this au but i did and im sad and i hope everyone else is sad too. i havent played fe4 in years so its probably ~wrong~ but you know what

Seliph’s sword trembled in his hand, palms sweating as his half-brother stared down at him and his army from the top floor of the temple. Julia rested a comforting hand on his arm and gave him a look of reassurance. When Seliph met her gaze, the world around him started spinning.

It felt like only yesterday that they were in the Velthomer castle garden, ditching their studies to practice swordplay instead. Hiding in the bushes when Uncle Azel came searching for them to scold them. Seliph hushing Julius when he started whispering about how important their studies were and how he needed to learn everything he could if he was to inherit the Velthomer throne one day.

Seliph wondered how much of his studying got Julius into this mess. He blamed himself, mostly. Blamed himself for every book Julius had read about the heroes of old. He should have stopped him.

Julius’ cackling snapped Seliph out of his trance. “What’s wrong, brother?” the monster spat so coldly it shot down Seliph’s spine. This was no brother of his. “Do you really think you can defeat me now? Don’t make me laugh!”

“Julius,” he said, hardening his quivering tone. “I have to end this. It’s my fault.”

“Your fault? Don’t flatter yourself. I was always meant to surpass you. It was only a matter of time.” Julius whipped around to face the altar. “I must begin my ritual. I hope my playthings are enough to keep you company in the meantime.”

Seliph desperately cut through the army, Julia at his heels to cast down any foe out of his reach. Every motion he made was second nature to him at that point, and he found himself lost in his thoughts again.

The emperor had fallen ill, Julia had written to him, and Julius hadn’t been taking it so well. He’d researched for days at a time to find a cure, a stall, anything. Half the time he’d refused the meals Julia had brought him. The entire ordeal had all but stressed Julius to his breaking point.

Everything changed after Julius had finished his research. Julia was banished from the kingdom. Julius remained at the emperor’s side at all times. Nobody was allowed an audience with them. The emperor himself had been cured, or so everyone thought. Seliph had forced himself not to wretch at the sight of the soulless shell they’d faced back in Velthomer. What in the world had Julius done? Even the thought of it now made Seliph ill.

Seliph finally reached the altar, and the redhead turned to face him. The Julius in front of Seliph now was not the Julius he knew. His once-fiery red eyes showed a touch of evil. When he stared at Seliph, the sly smirk the monster had on his face froze Seliph inside.

“I’m sorry things have to end this way, Seliph,” he hissed. That guttural voice was definitely not Julius’s.

Seliph tightened his grip on his sword. “What have you done with my brother?” he demanded. “Give him back!”

“Foolish boy.” Julius let out a chilling cackle that echoed through the dark temple. “Julius’s heart was weak. He doesn’t exist anymore. He sold his soul to me in exchange for saving his father and his people.”

Seliph swallowed the lump in his throat. “Y-you’re wrong,” he steadied his tone. “He’s still in there, I know it. I’m going to save him.”

Julius readied his tome, a cloud of blackness engulfing his open hand, the dark rock in his palm glowing. “Killing me is the only way to free his soul. If you are prepared to murder your own brother, then come at me, boy!”

It was over in an instant. Julia healed the black magic from Seliph’s wounds, tears flowing down her face as she avoided looking at the blood flowing down his sword and onto his hands. Sieglinde landed on the ground with a loud clatter, and Seliph soon followed, falling to his knees next to Julius’s nearly motionless body.

“I was... such a fool,” his voice came with weak, staggering breaths.

“Stop talking,” Seliph whispered. “We’re going to save you. You need to save your strength.”

“No. I deserve this.” Julius took Seliph’s bloody hand in his. “The demon king is going to be revived after I die. You have to stop him. For me.”

“Don’t talk like that, brother,” Julia pleaded. “We’re going to save you. Then, we can all live together. Just the three of us.”

He smiled and closed his eyes. “That sounds nice,” he whispered weakly. “Tell me more.”

Out of the corner of his eye, Seliph saw Julius’s feet disintegrating, and his stomach dropped. “Y-yeah,” he said softly, squeezing Julius’s hand, “we’ll evacuate Velthomer’s citizens before the earthquake, and then everyone can live in Chalphy in peace. The people will love us, Julius. They’ll throw parades in our honor and celebrate our victory against the demon king. We’ll rebuild Chalphy together.”

“I like the sound of that,” Julius said. “Thank you... Seliph...”

Seliph rose to his feet, and the ground began to rumble. When he picked up Sieglinde, he noticed that the blood had disappeared. Julia wiped the tears from her eyes. Seliph prepared himself as the entire temple shook. He would defeat this beast once and for all. For Julius’s sake.
