#l’arachel support

[optimismxmagicism]

It was yet another morning of boring basic casting classes- stuff he already learned ages ago. This was the cost of being a late transfer he supposed…

He was taking notes half heartedly in his book, though he was more interested in the doodling on the back page. With nothing better to do, he was absentmindedly drawing whatever came to him- a sketch of the flying coach, some doodles of his friends back home, Ross if he was a piglet..

(Aw, I’m so bored I think I’m going to die..) Ewan lamented internally. He came here to perfect his magical abilities, yet he was stuck in a beginners class. It reminded him of the time Tethys made him sign up for beginners swimming lessons. There he was, swimming with a bunch of kids no older than 7.

If there was a goddess, he hoped she’d hear him and send him something, or someone entertaining-

It was at that moment that his monologue of tragic boredom was interrupted by the scrape of a chair- and a flash of hyperactive blonde peerless beauty- wait. Peerless beauty? The beautiful princess of peerless beauty? Only one woman he could think of fit that description, and it was indeed-

“Pri- L’arachel?!” He spoke in surprise, as she approached him. Somehow in all his time here he never noticed her as one of his classmates- and that’s surprising considering nobody can miss L’arachel. He still remembers her proud exclamations as she smited baels and entombed alike with holy white magic. How she managed to be the protector of the final remaining sacred stone- and most memorably, how she threatened to beat someone senseless- if only she were not a holy woman.

He didn’t expect her to attend the academy though- and she looked so much younger than he remembers her. Ah well, that couldn’t be too important. He was grateful for her impeccable timing at the very least.

While the teacher looked at them both with a frown, they didn’t seem to be fully aware of what the girl next to him was talking to him about- so he had to improvise.

“Umm- owwwie.. ow…! Professor…” He faked sudden pain, and put on his best puppy-dog expression. “My stomach really hurts all of a sudden- would it be okay if L’arachel took me to see a healer?” He looked at her, praying to whatever holy thing may be out there that she could play along- it was always hard to tell with her. But he provided them an opening to get out of class if only she realized what he was doing and joined the ruse.

HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO TAKE....

Helpful tip: in L’arachel’s ending if she got an A support with Dozla, it says she gets married but not who she gets married to, so you can pretend it’s Eirika

you are now legible the very first inbox fic i wrote!!!!!! featuring two of my faves (vanessa and lute) being goofy in chapter 11 :]

"LUTE!"

Vanessa had just barely ducked her head in time to dodge a fireball that nearly careened with her skull, which thankfully only struck the revenant directly behind her, and was now facing the culprit: a purple-haired mage, hand extended in a clear post-fireball-hurtling position.

“Yes?” Lute responded flatly, as if she hadn’t nearly just torched her pegasus knight companion.

“Could you perhaps exercise a little more caution with your magic?!”

Lute simply shrugged in response. “If you weren’t in the way, I wouldn’t have almost hit you. Perhaps you should be more aware of your surroundings. And besides, you dodged it just fine! So, no harm done.” She quickly moved past a bewildered Vanessa to inspect the remains of the monster.

Vanessa simply could not understand that girl. She was hard enough to read as-is, but this interest of hers only made her more confounding.

Vanessa hated fighting monsters. The inhumane screeches they made upon death, the utter ruthlessness in their strikes, and their tendency to appear in vast hordes… she would count herself lucky if she never had to take a step into the creature-crammed floors of the Tower of Valni again, frankly. And yet, for some reason, Lute was utterly fascinated over these creatures.

Anytime a battle included any sort of skeleton, gargoyle, or some other affront to the Goddess, she would always insist she take place in it. She didn’t do it to smite them from the land for some sort of holy purpose, like L’Arachel seemed to, however. She just… wanted to be near them? Perhaps? Vanessa decided now was as good as a time as ever to get some answers.

“What exactly do you find so… fascinating about those creatures, Lute?” Vanessa questioned, breaking Lute’s apparent deep concentration. “What isn’t there to find interesting about them? You’re telling me the prospect of a stone statue gaining life or a skeleton rising from its grave to wreak havoc doesn’t deserve any sort of looking-into?” She curtly responded.

“That’s… fair, but then why do y-“ Vanessa’s train of thought was suddenly interrupted when she noticed the distinct lack of her javelin in her hands. “Where did it- LUTE!” Her answer came all to quickly as she swiveled around to see Lute prodding at a nearby skeleton with said javelin, giggling slightly as she pushed it away with the blunt end of the stick. Said skeleton was clearly not enjoying this as much as Lute was, as it wildly tried to swing at her with its (mercifully) short sword.

Vanessa quickly snatched the javelin back from Lute’s hands, much to her disappointment, and just as swiftly dispatched the monster, before turning back to the (apparently) aspiring pickpocket. “You’re spending a bit too much time around Colm, I think. He’s rubbing off on you.”

Lute simply gave a mischievous grin as she mumbled a quick ‘sorry’ and went right back to looking through the remains of the smoldering revenant. “…What are you looking for, anyways?” Vanessa questioned as she peered over Lute’s shoulder. “Or do you just dig through monster corpses for f-“ She suddenly earned a shush from Lute, who had apparently found what she was looking for.

Lute rooted around in the mush for a brief moment (thank the Goddess she had gloves on, at least) and pulled out a small, dark crystal that was seemingly buried quite deep in the creature’s burnt remains. She held it in her hands and marveled at it, as if it was a diamond. “Do you know what this is?” Lute asked excitedly as she turned to Vanessa, who was, admittedly, curious. She shook her head.

“This is an Anima crystal! According to a tome I read, it’s the very source of what gives the monsters their life! This is-! I need to show Artur!” As soon as she finished that sentence, she shot to her feet and dashed off towards Artur, practically bouncing up and down as she showed him her ‘find’. He seemed equally fascinated in it. Strange as Lute’s interests might be, as long as she was having fun, there was no harm to it, Vanessa supposed. And she had to admit, the brief explanation over the crystal did pique Vanessa’s curiosity over just how these creatures work… perhaps she could ask Lute about it… preferably when they aren’t in the middle of clearing out a fort full of said monsters, of course. As Vanessa quickly mounted her pegasus to answer Neimi’s shouts for assistance, she felt like she understood the purple mage a little better now.

Vanessa and Lute have reached support rank C

That was adorable I love that!!! Lute is so normal about Creatures!!!

[soren-apologist]

considering how l’arachel nearly went into cardiac arrest over ephraim taking off his pauldron in their supports i’m kind of surprised that she didn’t immediately have an aneurysm at seeing him with his entire shirt off

[worlds-4th-best-dad]

:) Yomotsu

11. Would you date this character?

13. What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

11. Yes, I would. Despite his status and his eccentricities, I know he will treat me right.

13. I’m not sure if he can appreciate emoticons since the screen reader he will most likely use for his phone would just read them as the punctuation marks comprising them. As for emojis, probably the chipmunk emoji since those are the closest things he considers as companions while living in the woods.

23. Ooh, this is a good question. I think that another character similar to Yomotsu from a different fandom would be L’arachel from Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones. She’s a princess of Rausten who is classed as a Troubadour (a healer class on horseback in FE). She has an honorable goal of ridding the world of darkness and evil, albeit even it is for fame. She is also quite mature and provides emotional support to the protagonists in their time of need, despite her comical nature. All of these traits are quite similar to Yomotsu.

25. My first impressions of Yomotsu were much like Takao, I didn’t give him much thought. He was a nice character, even if we didn’t get to learn more about him. After I grew up and started to write stories, I started to appreciate him more and more. Now, I love the silly little sentai~

[yanderefairyangel]

Continuing off my Alternate cast Emblems ask from the other day, here’s who I would partner with who. (I made sure to not use any repeats besides the Royals)

Kris (F) - Alear (F) (Figured letting Alear partner with the Archanea Emblem in both versions was the most fitting)

Alm - Alfred (If Céline gets the Female Echoes Elblem, Alfred gets the Male one)

Seliph - Veyle (I feel like Veyle would remind Seliph of his sister)

Finn - Fogado (Horse boys… they’re also both dedicated to supporting the rulers of their nations)

Guinevere - Céline (younger sister Mage girls dedicated to working for the betterment of their nation)

Eliwood - Diamant (If Og Diamant uses Roy, let’s just give this Diamant Eliwood.)

L’Arachel - Rosado (The Princess if Peerless Beauty and the Ultimate embodiment of cuteness? The enemy won’t stand a chance)

Elincia - Ivy (Flying Princesses. Plus one’s green and white and the other is black and red, perfect color contrast)

Sothe- Zelkov (Identical class, figured their abilities would mesh well)

Morgan (F) - Hortensia (Smol cute magic girls who have an older sister and are striving to do their best.)

Azura - Timerra (Lance girls who sing. One’s good at it, the other is Timerra)

Yuri - Alcryst (I feel like Alcryst would remind Yuri of Bernadetta, just like Alcryst did with Edelgard)

Ninian - Pandreo (Ninian’s known as an Oracle, Pandreo’s a priest. It’s a winning combo.)

Hinoka - Lapis (Red warrior girls who are fish out of water when it comes to being around nobles.)

Shez (M) - Rafal (Chaotic doofus meets Tsundere, what’s not to love?)

Katrina - Nel (I forgot to list Katrina but she’s the 7th Emblem Bracelet. Anyway, I feel like Katrina would kinda remind Nel of her brother, so I figured they’d work well together.)

Lachesis - Amber (I figured partnering Lachesis with someone who looks, but acts nothing like her bother would be incredibly funny.)

Panette - Innes & Joshua (Honestly I just had the idea of Panette using Joshua and Innes’s weapons in a completely different style than what they were used to and thought comedic shenanigans could ensue)

Etie - Askr Trio (Etie uses a bow, and the Trio give her each a unique weapon, so she’d be able to have a lot of coverage)

Interesting choices !

I am assuming that some Emblems can have special link then like Kris/katarina, Byleth/Shez and Seliph/ Sigurd Celica/ Alm ?

I wonder what would happen if Lady Anna teamed up with the Askr Trio

[youngerfrankenstein]

I'm opening this large but since you talked about saying positive things about characters and all.......... who are your faves from FE8, and please gush about them ? :D

:D I’ll try and keep this somewhat short

L’Arachel, CHAMPION OF JUSTICE! I love how self-assured she is, how much she wants to make her parents proud, how happy she is to support other people (questionably sometimes). Also she’s just plain funny. She’s someone who leaps before she looks but is lucky enough it always ends well. And in the end she was one of the biggest reasons the day could be saved so hey! Maybe she wasn’t wrong about her mission from the gods!

Lyon! Talk about the road to hell being paved with good intentions. He really did just love his people and the twins so much, and while it got twisted horribly I don’t think that it means it was any less real. Also I think the implication is he’s doing his best to fight from the inside and ensure his own defeat (forgive me if I’m wrong). He’s a tragedy, I like tragedies.

Cormag! Sue me, I’m a sucker for grumps with a heart of gold. I also like that he’s at least smart enough to question Valter’s story (yeah it’s overly simplistic how you recruit him but what do you expect?) And holy heck if taking down Valter with him isn’t one of the most satisfying things you can do in the game. He’s also just, a good dude.

Eirika and Ephraim! Feels wrong not to put them together because they really are made better characters by their contrast. The way their arcs parallel through the game is really interesting! The different kinds of strength one has and the other has to learn. The way they support each other and everyone around them.

Really though, almost every character in the game has something neat about them. Sacred Stones has a smaller cast than most and I think that let a lot of them be more tightly written. It’s a really good cast!

I love FE8…

[brick3621]

Oh hey, this pairing makes sense now

@mousegard

(I never played Radiant Dawn, nobody "uhm, achshually" me. A support scene between Edelgard and L’Arachel would’ve been funnier but I’ve never pulled El before so I had to make do)

i accidentally let my princess girlfriend and my communist revolutionary girlfriend in the same discord call and surprisingly they really hit it off. both of them get a massive kick out of pretending to execute eachother for crimes against their respective class, they're having great fun. they paint eachothers nails and stuff

[childofaura]

SILHOUETTE DROP!!!

Pull up a beanbag

right, so both girls I think, unless there is a very feminine guy, and one might have a tail so maybe a tellius banner, Lyre or Lethe (my tellius knowledge is limited) no ears thought so not likely.

I think it could also be L’arachel with the hair, but I don’t know jack about FE8 so take it with a grain of salt. I guess that would make the one on the right from the supporting cast, but if they aren’t then we can expect a harmonized instead of a duo.

The one on the right has medium length hair, which rules out a fair few characters, kinda reminds me of Lucina, but also Shez sort of. If it’s anyone from engage I will scream haven’t decided if that’s good or bad. (this is probably very off the mark)

I think they will be an axe/lance and staff respectively

Those are my thoughts right now, I wish you luck for getting hot guys on the banner! <3

The one on the left definitely has to be Shez, she has the hair tied up in a knot at the top, and I think you’re right on the lance, since it looks like a big beach umbrella. I’m just PRAYING she’s not drawn by Sencha. One on the right for sure is L’arachel, I’d recognize that tied up bun anywhere, lol. I guess this means we’re going right back to specific unit themes for seasonal banners, which I’m not really a huge fan of.

We don’t have a SINGLE dude on this silhouette and that frightens me XD

Monster Mash||Dwyer & L’Arachel

@peerlessvalkyrie

The woods near Renais had been feared, for it had been the playgrounds for monsters. However, Dwyer needed to find his way through, for there was no other path to Grado. With Staff in hand and Nova in tow, the Troubadour sighed out of exhaustion as he approached the forest’s entrance. Based on how he was able to see the sunlight penetrate the canopy, Dwyer failed to see how he was supposed to be frightened; the Woods of the Forlorn has been more intimidating by comparison.

As Nova paced through the bushes, Dwyer’s eyes scanned the area. He was quick to notice the woods were deserted. No song of birds, no rodents hopping about within the leaves. All there was was a breeze that brushed through the rustling tree leaves. While it was slightly unnerving to know the thicket was abandoned, the peaceful atmosphere made Dwyer grow drowsy. With a yawn, he was at the verge of nodding off. That was until a grotesque growl could be heard.

Snapping out of his daze, it took a moment for the Troubadour to realize he was surrounded by Revenants accompanied by hell hounds. The bushes shook as the beasts stepped through, out of their hiding spot. They gazed at the mortals, hunger in their eye sockets. Drool dripped from the hounds’ mouths, raring to tear through the horse before them. Nova huffed with fear, but Dwyer had been too tired to feel afraid. He grew bored of the sight of Faceless, and these monsters felt no different.

However, by the time when he realized he couldn’t hold them back long enough for an escape, it had already been too late. The hounds were swift, catching the young steward off guard. They leaped and snapped at him, one latching to his arm as another tried to reach his chest, only tearing at the fabric of his capelet. Nova shrieked as a hound bit his leg. With Dwyer occupied, he was thrown off. Free of the weight of a rider, the steed began to buck and stomp at the hounds, trampling two, but two more remained. Dwyer threw the hound off his arm and fiercely kicked another. He stood, cursing at the pain of his wounds. Reaching for his Dagger, he stepped towards his steed, and slashed at one of the attackers. Hell hounds lay dead and rotting, but the Revenants began to charge. Dwyer accumulated more injuries, and he was growing weary. Nova fell to his knees, exhausted and in pain. Dwyer proceeded to heal the wounds with his Staff, but he couldn’t help himself.

“Gods… Is this it?”

[joyfulpiefactory]

(So uh. These two are s-supported in my game and I wanted to write an interaction. That’s honestly my only reason for me writing this but I hope you enjoy!)

———————————————————————

“L’arachel, are you alright? Watch your footing...”

Some time had passed since the princess had bestowed Seliph his mask, keeping it dutifully on his hip while not in battle much to his partner’s chagrin. He had been walking ahead of her, dutifully following behind the summoner as they were lead to a nearby battleground.

Matching her pace he outstretched a hand to her own, a slight smile gracing his lips as he watched her stumble against the rocky path below them. She was doing her absolute damndest to guide her horse along with her, one hand wrapped around its bridle as the other searched for balance.

She hadn’t taken off her mask once since receiving it.

“Oh, thank you, darling...” she rasped, struggling to find his hand against the haze of white over her eyes. She wouldn’t dare make her steed carry her through this precarious terrain.

“Are you doing alright? Would you like me to help?” Careful, Seliph bit back his amusement at her flailing as he brought his hand to her own in a tight grip.

“Don’t be silly, dear- I can- oh my, thank you.”

He chuckled. “Of course. May I ask why you aren’t riding your horse?”

Raising her head as if in defiance, she stood on her toes for a moment before feeling Seliph pull her another direction with him, gait slow and methodical. “And just where are we going?”

“Relax. I assume you wish to give your steed a break, yes?”

L’arachel felt her mouth open in protest on instinct, though quickly found it shut in surprise. “I do.”

“And you cannot see very well with your mask on.”

Her lips curled with frustration as she felt rocks skid and clack under her shoes, everything around her indeed locked under the view of filmy white glasses.

“‘Tis a small price to pay fo-“

“-Hang on, we’re going downhill a bit. Grip a bit further up my arm, L’arachel.”

Ignoring her completely, Seliph focused himself on getting his partner across a slight ravine, rocks now giving way to grass and mud.

Not even taking offense she does as she’s told, feeling Seliph’s hand move to take hold of her forearm from underneath.

“It’s a bit of a big step,” Seliph muttered, judging the distance with a quick glance as his foot lurched forward. “Don’t be afraid.”

L’arachel’s hand tightened against his wrist as she felt him almost dip somewhat, a soft sound of alarm growing overshadowed by the soft whinny of her horse.

Landing his foot safely across the divide in the earth, he twisted his body with a slight grunt as his hand slid back safely into Larachel’s own. “I’m alright. Don’t be afraid. To your horse, this is child’s play.”

“...” L’arachel’s lips became a thin line as she blinked, internally cursing the fate she had to bear as the keeper of the golden mask of justice. She couldn’t see a thing. “Of course.”

Seliph’s gaze softened as he spied her apprehension, giving her hand a slight squeeze. “You can do this, princess of Rausten. Just step forward. Your steed will follow your tempo.”

Tightening her grip on her horse’s bridle she took a careful step forward, feeling her body lurch forward under the kiss of gravity as Seliph gingerly matched her pace.

“Let go of the bridle, L’arachel. I’ve got you.”

“What?” Her hand acted sooner than her mind, almost immediately obeying him only to feel an arm swoop along her back, a cry ringing out as dirt slid under the hooves of L’arachel’s horse.

“Well done. We’ve done it.” Releasing her on the solid ground next to him, he reaches out to grip the horse’s bridle in one swift motion. “There we are.”

“...” Eyes wide, L’arachel took a moment to recall just where she was, head awhirl as her fingers came in contact with the bridle once more. Just where was his...?

My back...!

“YOU LECHEROUS BEAST!”

[overtsexting]

camilleo — probably. the whole family is so incesty in general that it might take their siblings a minute to come around (because of their own shame and repression lol) but they would. and their retainers are all so hopelessly devoted to them, that I could see selena expressing disgust at first, and odin being a bit confused, but they’d both come around, while beruka wouldn’t care and niles would be 100% supportive

ephrika — significantly less likely i think 🤔 l’arachel has that “only child with a bit of a crush on two siblings and therefore a bit of an incest kink” thing going, but she’s also a Holy Woman, so she’d definitely act scandalised at first until they asked her to join for the night. Seth would probably be disappointed and a bit unsettled, but he’d do everything he can to protect their secret. Innes would be pretty shocked and be like “clearly i’m superior to ephraim because i don’t fuck my sister” regardless of whether he does in fact want to fuck his sister, but i think tana is close enough with eirika that she’d actually be supportive.

Guys what’s your favorite ‘illegal’ ship and do the people around them support it? I’d say no, makes it more fuN✨

Standing Here I Realize - Gold Round (Team 9)

For what has got to be the last time, the arena flashes a bright white and is reborn into something new. The four heroes enter a small void in their passage to the next fight, and when they exit, they are greeted with something grotesque.

Puppets. More specifically, puppets of themselves. Each is a lifeless, wooden mannequin of its human counterpart, strung up by threads that seem to trail into an endless void high, high above the arena grounds. Follow the strings long enough, and you’ll find only darkness. Each is equipped with the weapons and clothing of its original, allowing them all an eerie mirror to examine their current equipment with. What makes them creepier, however, is the fact that their strings trail back down from the ceaseless shadow above and around the fingers of a puppeteer. Though it is only an illusion, a permanent, toothy grin taunts L’Arachel and her allies. It suddenly snaps its head to the side, and as though the world around them is responding to its plea, two monsters emerge from nonexistent ceiling.

The first is a colossal, eight-headed reptile, which pushes and coils past the set of dolls to bear its many fangs at its prey. They drip, drip, drip, with a noxious substance, hungry and eager to sink into a human neck. The second--a hundred-armed, fifty-headed humanoid--slams a crater into the floor in its wake. Its gruesome heads roar up in unison, ready to resort to unrestricted brutality to reduce the four living souls before it to a bloodied pulp.

L’Arachel is, understandably, off-put by all of this. The puppets appear human but lack facial expressions, breaking the ability to form a sense of empathy with them. The snake instills a primal sort of fear when faced with a predator in the wild. And the damnable monstrosity showcases an intimidating strength from appearance alone. All culminate a sense of terror in the Rausten girl, as they would anybody. But now is not the time to be shaking in one’s boots.

Her eyes trail down to her hands, which have a slight tremble as she holds her legendary Forblaze tome. Normally she’d be excited at the prospect of using this sort of thing, but in a horrifying scenario like this, she needs to act carefully. Rather than rushing these foes head-on herself, she needs to strategize. And what better way to do so than standing back and bossing people around?

“You, with the lance!” She’s quick to then point out, gaze flicking to the arsenals of her companions, “As the princess of order and denizen of guidance, I command you to make the first strike! See what you can do about that awful thing with the scales and fangs, and receive my holy powers while you attack!”

L’Arachel uses Rally Strength, Speed, and Resistance! Sigurd receives +2 strength, and +4 to speed and resistance until R2P

Her finger is quick to redirect itself at Deirdre, who she continues to bark orders at, “And you! His lover! Have you any tact? Any grace? Support him in his endeavors. We’ve come too far to lose, have we not? You’re both lucky to have such a genius mind at the helm of this operation.” 

L’Arachel uses Rouse! Deirdre receives +1 strength, and +2 to speed and resistance until R2P

[youthofpandas]

l’arachel!! :D

wooo yeah we love a girlboss!! a silly little lady. a funny gal.

My general thoughts & opinions on them - she's so funny and I love every chapter she shows up. I know hiding nobility is a trope in the series but who else is doing it quite like she does...

Favorite moment of theirs - All of the times she just shows up and says absolute nonsense. Iconic.

Favorite support chain - say the line L'arachel! "if I were not a holy woman, I would beat you senseless" (the crowd cheers)

My dream FEH alt for them - She has so many good ones already but uuuuh... PIRATES bc it would be hilarious. this is my wisdom upon the world. this time we can get a Rennac alt and he is so miserable to be here.

Headcanons and/or ships I have - Eirika/L'arachel rights. They are so real and true and canon. Headcanons well I'm glad you asked bc this is a reminder L'arachel is on the "doesn't know what NFTs are" + "buys NFTs" section of the chart. I am sorry. I also think she is the type of person to LOVE weird little recipe blogs and tells the stories that the lady bloggers write out to other people as if they happened to a friend. She also goes like "my retainer who I made make this for me substituted half of the ingredients and it was great!" in the reviews

Favorite art of them - I cannot pick between the halloween alt or the fairy alt. If I had to I would go with the halloween but the fairy one is so good matched up with the other fe8 girls...
