From Mercedes remembers, the part of Adrestia she grew up in didn't get much snow. The snow they got didn't compare to the amount Faerghus got, especially not compared to Fhirdiad. She only lived in northern Faerghus for a short amount of time, but it still amazed her how much snow they get. On top of all of that, she felt warmth in her heart as she saw the children play in it. Throwing snowballs at each other, making snowmen, and creating random new games they could think of. All of it was so adorable and heartwarming.

"There you are Mercedes," Dimitri smiled, placing his hand on her shoulder. "Are you having fun watching the children?"

"Yes, they are quite adorable," she chirped, looking up to him. "It's nice to see them still filled with cheer after the war."

"That is true, it's always nice to see them with a smile," he said, kissing her temple.

Mercedes let out a little noise in agreement. She turned around to face him, placing her bear hands on his face to pull him down for a kiss.

"Why aren't your hands covered?" Dimitri said, kissing her back. "You'll get frostbite if you don't cover them."

Mercedes laughed a little as he pulled away from her. Her laugh became louder as he took her hands to cover them with gloves.

"There, now your hands won't freeze," he said, still holding onto her hands.

"Thank you, Dimitri," she said, giving him another kiss. "You always take such great care of me."

"You only do the same for me," he smiled, kissing her back.

"Anyway, what are you doing out her?" She asked, taking one of her hands out of his and placing her other hand on his triceps.

"Looking for you," he said, walking with her through the town. "I just wanted to spend time with you."

Mercedes felt her face heat up as she walked with him. "Oh Dimitri."

"What?" He asked, moving her hand into his.

"Nothing, I'm just happy," Mercedes laughed.

"That's always nice to hear," Dimitri smiled, trying to get her out of the town.

Before they could leave town, a little child had hit Dimitri with a snowball. For a split second he was scared since he accidentally hit the King of Faerghus but laughter shortly left his lips when Mercedes hit him in the face with a snowball fight. Everyone scattered everywhere, throwing snowballs all over the town. Before they knew it, both Mercedes and Dimitri found themselves outside of town.

"There you are, my sweet Mercie," Dimitri laughed, catching up to her.

"Dimitri, my king," Mercedes laughed, turning to face him. She walked up to him, placing her head and hands on her chest. She felt at ease hearing his calm heartbeat. "I was getting worried I wouldn't see you again after you let those little kids chase you into that corner."

"Sorry, they seemed very happy about their plan of attack," he said, wrapping his arms around her body.

"Well, I'm glad you came back to me safe and sound," she teased feeling his warmth encompassing her whole being. She let out a little whimper, holding onto his fur cape as she felt him unwrap his arms. "Dimi, please don't."

"I'm sorry, my angel," he said, moving his hand into hers. "There is one thing I wanted to do before we go home."

"What is that?" She asked, walking with him.

"You'll see," he smiled, leading her down the cobble path.

Mercedes nodded as she continued walking. She hadn't seen this part of Fhirdiad before, it was a bit run down but it was very lively. People were singing, dancing, and eating, it was so beautiful to watch. She was a little stunned that they weren't staying here, but going further out of the way. She let out a chirp when she saw the garden full of roses, she had almost forgotten this place. Dimitri had taken her here a couple of times before as a little date of his. Both times were picnics, but one was in the fall and the other was in the spring. Out of all the times she has been here, the winter was the most beautiful. Seeing the roses still blooming in this time of year and having frost on them, it truly was a sight to see.

She let go of his hand, walking up to a rose bush holding out her hand to the flowers. Their fragrant even smelled amazing, if she could keep these roses, she would. She turned back around, laughing when she saw her beloved boyfriend mess with his satchel. As cute as he was trying to get it open, she couldn't leave him there to struggle. Mercedes smiled, gently helping buckle the leather straps from their clasps. She walked around the garden, looking at every last rose before finding a bench to sit on.

"Mercedes!" Dimitri called out, walking around with a box in his hand. "Mercedes!"

"Over here!" Mercedes yelled out. "Just keep going straight."

"Straight?" He asked, walking around for a few minutes to find her. "Oh, there you are."

She gave him a gentle smile as he wobbled his way towards her. "Are you okay?"

"Ye-Yes, I'm fine," he reassured her, tripping over his feet, and dropping his box. "Oh, where did it go?"

"Where did what go?" She asked, looking at the ground around them.

"Nothing," he said, getting down on his knees.

Mercedes slowly moved her body down to the ground, feeling around to see if she could find his lost item.

"My angel, you don't have to help," he said, his lips beginning to pinch together.

"It's alright, my king," she said, placing her hands on his face. "This is important to you."

"Yes, it is," he said, trying to get her back on the bench. "I want to be the one to find this object."

"Dimitri, please let me help you," she pouted as she struggled out of his grasp.

"No, it's alright," he reassured her, letting her go. "I am more than capable of finding a box."

"A box?" She asked, getting back on her knees. "Why do you have a box?"

"It's uh, nothing," he said, stumbling over his words.

Mercedes let out a gasp, finding the box under the chair. She let out a groan when she felt Dimitri pull her into his embrace. "Ouch."

"I'm sorry Mercedes," his breath becoming faster. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine," she reassured him, pressing her back against his chest. "I'm more concerned with you."

"I'm fine, but do you mind handing me that box?" He asked, moving his hands into hers.

She stretched out her hands, feeling his hands on her forearms.

"Mercedes," he pleaded, not trying to get the box back from her.

"Dimitri, this is!" She gasped as she opened the box. She turned her body to face him, giving him a big kiss. "Dimitri, I love you!"

"I know," he smiled, kissing her forehead.

"No wonder you were acting weird!" Mercedes smiled, pressing her back against his chest again. She took one good look at the ring, seeing that the gem was in the shape of a sun. "This is such a beautiful ring!"

"Yes, it was my birth mothers wedding ring," Dimitri agreed, placing the band on her ring finger.

"Are you sure I can have this?" She asked, entwining her hand with his.

"Of course. My father said my mother wanted me to give it to the person I wanted to marry," he smiled, holding her hand tightly. "Mercedes, will you marry me and become my queen?"

"Yes, of course I will!" She chirped, turning her body around to give him a kiss. "I love you so much!"

"I love you too," he said, kissing her back as he fell onto his back, crunching some of the snow.

Mercedes got up from the ground with help from Dimitri, dancing before they went home.

Their wedding was held in the spring in the same garden that Dimitri proposed in. They were surrounded by their friends, families, and the roses that Mercedes loved.

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

I almost missed @ferarepairweek lmao. I was not about to miss that, I want to try to push the DimiMercie agenda show my love for them. They always warm my heart. So I combined two prompts together because I missed the first four days and right now I have days one and two together, snow and proposals. A while ago I wrote a piece about Mercedes reminiscing about her proposal when she was pregnant and I wanted to showcase that or at least some of it. I'm so happy that I was able to in this fic.

I am also hoping to do a couple of more before this event ends. I have a few more ships that I want to do, I have like five more that I want to. I don't know if I will be able to get to them all, but I hope I can. I have so many I want to show ;;;;

[rainily-03]

some things i've drawn since finishing AM

image IDs under the cut!

[image 1 ID: digital art of Edelgard (post-timeskip design) from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. She is facing forwards with an angry/determined expression, one fist clenched in front of her and the other arm outstretched as though giving orders. There is blood dripping from her fist and from her left eye. It is an uncolored sketch aside from the blood and the background being dark red. End ID]

[image 2 ID: Byleth and the Blue Lions (pre-timeskip designs incorporating some headcanons), standing in a lineup against a white background. Notes are written around the characters with arrows pointing to them. Byleth's read "shaggy hair (cuts it themself)", "always looks bored", and "gender = ???". Dimitri's read "very intense stare", "lanky", and "awkwardly big hands & feet". Dedue's read "earrings" and "always furrowed brow". Ingrid's read "fine, straight hair" and "long legs". Sylvain's read "messy hair on purpose" and "muscular". Felix's read "ears stick out" and "wiry (thin but strong)". Annette's reads "petite". Mercedes' read "downturned eyes" and "tall and curvy". Ashe's read "upturned nose" and "skinny". End ID]

[image 3 ID: three busts followed by four simple full-body drawings of the artist's personal female Byleth design. The first bust is labeled "Academy" and shows Byleth with blue hair and a neutral expression. The second is labeled "War" and shows Byleth in profile, green hair in a ponytail, with a determined expression and a scar on her cheek. The third is labeled "Post-canon (AM)" and shows Byleth with shorter, wavier hair, wearing the Enlightened One outfit and smiling. Three of the full-body sketches show layers of Byleth's outfit, altering it somewhat to make it more practical and less sexualized. The fourth is labeled "casual/work" and shows Byleth wearing a dark gray sweater over a pink collared shirt, black shorts over patterned tights, and short black boots. End ID]

[image 4 ID: a simple four-panel comic. In the first, Sylvain is clinging onto Felix, burying his head in his chest and crying while Felix looks bored and pats his back. Sylvain is saying, "UGH Felix why did I do that I'm such an idiot." Felix responds, "Well at least you're my idiot." In the next two panels, Sylvain looks momentarily startled before looking up at Felix with an adoring expression. In the last panel, a slightly disturbed Felix watches from afar as Sylvain walks by, surrounded by hearts and looking blissful, saying to himself, "I'm Felix's idiot..." Felix thinks, "He's so easy to cheer up but at what cost..." End ID]

FE warriors 3 hopes is undervalued, It gave us DANCER BYLETH 💃 (and I think it gets a pass solely for it, lol ok kidding but still undervalued, but that's another post)

The king won't admit he has a crush on the skillful mercenary, of course he doesn't know he's capable of such things. Fortunately, he has someone like Sylvain on his team 😊...

Love illustrated stories where you don't need words to know what's happening and it's free to interpretation 🫶

[lsain]

I love how FE3Hopes features a group of jocks who probably butchered each others' hair during the timeskip, and a group of theatre kids who likely help each other get ready in the morning.

For anyone who still goes here, these are finally available as prints on my store!

Long time no Fe3h
