#lyon is such an instigator lol

[h0rr0rsaxo]

Okay! I have another idea hehe...feel free to send me more!

So I know Varrick and Keiran HATE each other....I wanna see how Keiran and Vince would go.....Vince is a little less hotheaded and I think it would be interesting.

So Anni and Vince are out, trying to chill and get drinks and they run into Keiran. Keiran purposefully ignores Vince and talks down to Anni and calls her things like "love" and "sweetheart". Vince is obviously a little jealous but he has that thing with being too close with someone so he holds back. Keiran can tell he's holding back too, so he kisses Anni roughly and busts her lip. The second Vince sees blood, he just immediately throws hands and loses it. The two fight and eventually get kicked out of the bar, along with Anni and Vince freaks out, completely losing his shit and yelling at Keiran to stay away from Anni. It just kinda escalates from there and it can however you'd like!

(Thank you so much! And you better send me more requests!!!)

Unwanted bar violence - Simp Party

Warnings; Slight violence

Tags; @insane-horror-movie-addict

A/N: I wrote this pretty late so sorry for how shitty it is..

Word count: 1,467

Keiran clutched the cup so tightly that if it had been glass it would have shattered in his fist. His eyes watched hawkishly as he noticed Anni laughed with a man by the bar. The man was clearly flirting with her, finding ways and reasons to touch her arm and shoulder and once even her face as he “removed an eyelash” from her cheek. He leaned in close and whispered something to Anni and Keiran waited, breath caught in his throat as the man brushed his fingers against her arm. His heart thundered in his chest and nearly ran outside. But, of course, Keiran kept his cool. Settling his drink down onto the bar-counter, he put on his usual lazy smirk and walked over.

“Whoa,” Keiran mumbled, letting out a low whistle as he stepped near Anni, lazily stuffing his hands into his pockets as his eyes traced along her body. It seemed Anni had taken extra care to put herself together tonight. She didn’t often get to flaunt what her mama gave her. She had actually taken time to look for a nice outfit, but anything too excessive, and do more with her hair then wad it into a ponytail on the top of her head.

“Damn," Keiran said with a sly smirk. “I’m definitely gonna relax and have a good time tonight with you around,” he added with a suggestive wink.

"Keiran?" Anni's gaze turned to him, her eyes widening agape slightly. It was strange not to see him on a mission— seeing him outside of work had been so strange.

“Hey sweetheart.” Keiran said, an arm stretching across to place a hand onto her shoulder, "Missed me?"

“You wish.” Anni smirked at the man playfully but with a certain tightness, ordering the drinks for herself and Vince from the bar. She quickly glanced over her shoulder to introduce Vince to Keiran, but his demeanor had slightly changed. Vince kept a cool expression— but the vibe he had been giving off seemed rather, annoyed.

“Waiting for someone gorgeous?” Keiran asked, pushing his blond hair back with a hand, bright white teeth flashing. Vince narrowed his eyes slightly, was this annoying blond ignoring Vince's existence….? What the fuck?

“Uh… no actually.” Anni smiled, “My frien-”

“Is obviously not that attached to you if he let you go off on your own.” The Zalgo proxy cut in, smirking at her while leaning on the bar.

“Actually—”

“He obviously didn’t think that anyone else would notice how perfect you are, sweetheart.” The man drawled, tracing a finger down Anni's arm, causing her to shiver.

There was a flicker in Vince's eyes and an almost imperceptible clench of his jaw. If Anni hadn’t learned to recognize every little change about the man, she never would have noticed. He was her good friend. She is just about the only person he opened up to. He couldn’t help but let a genuine reaction flash across his face before hurrying to hide behind a tough, manly exterior. She saw right through that smoke screen, "Actually she isn't alone. I'm right here. But, I think you noticed that already," Vince rolled his eyes slightly, attempting to keep that smile onto hisbface.

“Anyways, what can I help you with, Keiran?” Anni politely asked.

“Actually, yes, I think you can. You see, I was wondering if you’d allow me to compliment you with a drink? It would be an honor to buy a beverage for a beautiful woman, such as yourself.” Keiran flashed a charming smile that made her stomach flutter. Vince's eye twitched immensely, while the fake smile stayed put onto his lips.

Before Anni could even think about what she was saying, she blurted, “Yes, thank you. I’d love to have a drink with you.”

The blond nodded, as if he had been expecting that reply. Anni almost questioned it, but he flashed another dazzling smile at her, and her thoughts left her.

It felt as if no time had passed before Anni was leaning onto his arm, and for once, he didn't seem…violent. He actually seemed like a decent man. A charming and delightful man. Oh, he was so handsome, she couldn't deny that. She looked at him, and was about to ask him why he was asking so…delightful, when the moonlight caught his beautiful eyes and made them sparkle. She smiled and continued making small talk with him. She had just laid her head on his arm, relishing his warmth.

Vince felt his shoulders slump. He wasn’t quite sure why. Maybe it was the alcohol fueling his emotions, but he really wanted to punch the douchebag that was hanging off her face. It was embarrassing to watch, the blond was so annoying that he basically just stole her. But just as Anni did, she elegantly gave a small chuckle, reached her hand up to his cheek and rested her forehead in the crook of his nose. Anni's smile melted into his lips. At the same time across the room, her smile almost took Vince out.

If there wasn’t live music playing and people circling him on the dance floor, she could have heard Vince's fragile heart crack.

He couldn’t believe Annu was with such a douchebag. Why should he care? Why should he care?

He shouldn’t. It was a stupid crush. That’s all.

He wasn’t a jealous man.

“You alright?" Lyon asked, his energy taking Vince out of his trance. Vince grunted in response. “You seem like you're going to kill Keiran over there. You look like you're gonna shoot him with your eyes.” Lyon chuckled, as he leaned against the bar. Lyon knew Vince, since he was a frequent customer at his bar, and they knew each other quite well.

Vince didn’t say anything in response. “Is it because he’s trying to suck on Anni's face?” Lyon whispered in his ear, placing a hand on his shoulder. The demonic bartender had loved to stir up and instigate unnecessary trouble— in fact, he was known for it.

“Why don’t you back the fuck up,” Vince spat at him.

Lyon walked backwards holding his hands defensively in the air with a smirk on his face. “Quit being so obvious, man. Do something before you lose something. But hey! I'm just a bartender, what would I know?”

Vince turned back to look at her, but the two barstools were now empty. He hated imagining what was currently happening between the two of them. It made him cringe even thinking about it. His face scrunched as he began to feel overwhelmed by the bar scene of the night. But he tried his best to keep his composure— he wasn't even dating her, so what right did he have being so jealous?

All of those thoughts quickly changed when he saw how Keiran made-out with her.

The world around them blurred as Anni looked into his eyes. Keiran's arms reached up and tangled around her neck. He breathed in sharply and kissed her roughly, his arms encircling her waist drawing her in, his lips hungry for hers. Blood began to trickle from how much force he put into the kiss, it only encouraged Vince's anger. But the way Keiran had made unashamed eye contact with Vince was the absolute last straw.

Anni let out a loud gasp as Vince's fist plummeted into Keiran's face. He brought up his arm for another punch but Keiran had already fallen on the ground from the first one. Vince shook out his fist. He hadn’t punched anyone in a while, he usually was better with firearms.

Suddenly, Keiran grabbed his arm and swung his fist, punching him in the face and kneeing him in the stomach. Vince grabbed his wrist and flipped it around his back, yanking it upward and snapping his bone at the elbow joint. He hissed and then laughed to himself, “Do you think broken bones can hurt me? I'm a fucking Zalgo proxy.” Keiran glared.

Keiran thrusted his free arm back, elbowing Vince in the face and he stumbled back away from his vulnerable state. Turning around, he ran forward and slammed his closed fist on Vince's back, his body falling to the ground with a thud. Though Vince quickly grabbed him by his shirt and yanked him up, throwing him against a table and letting his ragged body fall against the scratchy floorboards.

Vince glared as he looked down at the angered man on the ground. “Stay the fuck away from Anni,” Vince said slowly, kicking him in the side as the blond muttered curses in russian.

Though Lyon had been excessively enjoying this display of unwanted violence, one of Lyon's workers did not. The three of them quickly got kicked out of the bar, and Vince continued to glare at him— even from outside.

claude, dimitri and byleth went into enbarr/adrestria and yoinked it for good regardless of the ending fodlan becomes one again ( 3 houses isthe first fire emblem game to do this where a lord annexes the enemy country when they are done ( edelgard and the empire are antagonists not villains thats what they were described by the writers where any of the 3 lords can be the good guy in their own arc ( morally grey figure ) other games they just eliminate the war hawk faction 1/2

and leave the leadership to the people . or the country asks them to take over or the lord has the birthright to the land 2/2

If by "yoinked it for good" you mean that they made sure that the people weren't left high n’ dry after their emperor threw them into war, starved them, conscripted them, and used them as meat shields? By taking on the responsibility of making sure the people are safe after their last leader very clearly failed in doing so, you mean? Forgive them for daring to help them and not leaving them to fend for themselves after they've had just about everything taken from them due to a war none of them asked for or wanted.

And besides, even if we go with this reading of the three of them, then wouldn't this just make Edelgard still worse than them? Because unlike them, who had no intention of taking over all of Fodlan and only do so because all of the other leaders are either dead, gone, and/or had given up their authority to them, Edelgard... literally has it as her go-to goal. Conquering all of Fodlan is what she intends to do. It wasn't because of the circumstances to led to it happening despite her wishes/intentions, she wanted to conquer all of Fodlan.

And also, no, this is literally not the first time the heroes have "annexed" the land they "conquered" from the villain; Ephraim and Eirika do this after Lyon invaded - and destroyed and ransacked - Renais, in Sacred Stones. Ephraim literally says that he will do his best to look after the people of Grado, essentially in honor of Lyon. So that's just. Literally incorrect lol. And I doubt that these two games are really the only ones like this, either. Because, shocker, taking responsibility for the people after killing their leader who had instigated war and mass suffering/death across an entire continent for explicitly self-serving, imperialistic purposes is not, in fact, the same thing as imperialistically conquering lands by killing off their leaders and replacing them with your own men. Trying to conflate these two things are is hilarious.

"Heroes of their own story" yes, I would assume that Edelgard does not, in fact, think of herself as evil, as that is not a mindset the overwhelming majority of anyone ever genuinely believes about themselves (outside of self-loathing, which Edelgard does not have). I would think that she has successfully justified her horrific actions to herself as not-evil, because that is what almost everyone who does horrific actions do. That does not stop the fact that her imperialistic and violent conquest, her use of her people as human shields, and her targeted attacking of a specific race and religion, all done without any attempt made to rectify said actions whatsoever... are evil. Those are evil actions. Zero other people in the game do anything close to these evil actions, other than her evil butler and the evil murder cult she is working with.

Yes, protagonist and antagonist are two different things; the protagonist can be the villain and the antagonist can be the hero. You know, what happens on CF, where you play as the villain and you fight and defeat the heroes. By violently invading their lands for explicitly imperialistic and racist motivations. And by lying to your allies. And by working with a murder cult. I'm sorry but I just can’t see how Edelgard forcing what she herself says she thinks are “pale offshoots of the Empire” back under the Empire’s banner for the explicit, directly stated purpose of putting Fodlan completely under the Empire’s control is morally gray and not flat out evil

Yeah! :) They just conquer Adrestia for its own good, make sure everyone’s doing okay, and then they just... keep making sure everyone’s doing okay... for years and years to come, even in the face of uprisings. It’s all imperialism for the greater good!

And meat shields, starvation, conscription, still busting those tired arguments out, huh? Addressed here.

And besides, even if we go with this reading of the three of them, then wouldn’t this just make Edelgard still worse than them? Because unlike them, who had no intention of taking over all of Fodlan and only do so because all of the other leaders are either dead, gone, and/or had given up their authority to them 

You see, unlike Edelgard, Dimitri, Claude, and Byleth conquer Fodlan on accident. It was an accidental imperialism, and that makes it okay! :)

Also Adrestia might’ve had other leaders... if the Knights of Seiros didn’t execute them as a stand-in for the entire army.

And also, no, this is literally not the first time the heroes have “annexed” the land they “conquered” from the villain; Ephraim and Eirika do this after Lyon invaded - and destroyed and ransacked - Renais, in Sacred Stones.

Oh wow, I guess Marth’s a dick, then. He toppled four countries and just left them to dry! He shoulda also done an accidental imperialism.

Also, the ending in which Ephraim promises to “take care of Grado” only occurs in his own ending, and it happens because of a cataclysmic natural disaster. He was going on a humanitarian relief mission, not to govern the country. Eirika’s ending says nothing of what happens to Grado after the war.

Then also we got a little bit about Edelgard targeting a race and religion, but unfortunately Three Hopes demonstrated she’s not an enemy of religion, just of the Central Church of Seiros, because of their political involvement in Fodlan, not their religious ideals.
