Fire Emblem: Three Houses Hubert von Vestra / Ferdinand von Aegir

Pre-Timeskip/Academy Phase Complete, 17 chapters, 138k words Explicit 🔞

Ferdinand von Aegir doesn’t feel that he has a place among the Black Eagles, but the Blue Lions welcome him in warmly. Hubert von Vestra, a looming reason for Ferdinand’s decision, does not approve of this change of houses—especially when Ferdinand becomes fast friends with notorious playboy Sylvain Gautier and charming, handsome Prince Dimitri of Faerghus.

Hubert isn’t jealous, oh no; he’s merely concerned about the safety of the Adrestian Empire.

Thank you to everyone who supported us this past year while writing AFIL. You're incredible. 🖤

[dazzlerazz]

My heart melted you guys

[myossssss]

another quarrel between hubert and ferdinand, what will they do

[gascon-en-exil]

Honestly, Hubert should count himself lucky he’s got a normal skin tone and isn’t purple or green or something, like the remakes did to Gharnef and Jedah.

Although if he were the Ferdibert fandom already has a musical answer for that....

[moixaines-moving]

ferdibert is so funny as enemies to lovers bc, like, they're not really Enemies, they just have this vibe of two teens really passionate about a certain topic but from completely opposite extremes, so they take any chance they see to go for the other's throat.

[zdux]

I have so so so many Ferdibert ideas and so little time and skills. Please. I'm being smited, smote, struck down. I'd be too powerful if I could put these ideas on paper. They are rotting my brain. They are up there. They are the only thing that's going to get me to play a crimson flower route. Some brief looks at my brain;

Ferdinand teasing and being overly dramatic when he sees Hubert smile at someone else (Edelgard) for the first time cuz he never smiles at anyone [Post Timeskip]

Hubert having a mini crisis because Ferdinand has a girlfriend/he thinks he had a girlfriend and doesn't know what to do cuz he feels like he is missing his chance [Pre Timeskip]

A series of short animatics based on songs I've got clips of on TikTok [Various]

A massive fic/animatic that I have drafted with Demon!Hubert and Reincarnated!Ferdinand

And this is just what I can list off like there's so much in my brain.

And MANY of them involve ABBA songs because any time ABBA comes on, some spirit grabs me by the shoulders, shakes me, slaps me, and then I feel emotions and channel them into Ferdibert

[miss-1ng]

Pre-Timeskip Ferdibert prompt no. 29 in the touches section under the sub-category of hugs.

Hubert witnessed Ferdinand dancing with a random girl at the Garreg Mach Ball. Jealousy suddenly overtakes him and runs away. Ferdie looks for him and finds Hubert quietly crying. Ferdinand reassures him and says that he loves him very much and he will never betray Hubert for someone else...

Hurt/comfort ahoy!

this was posted later than i intended but i hope it's good!!

(i probably should mention i have no knowledge of dancing so i hope this is okay lol)

thanks for requesting!!

He’s always known this would happen.

He’s also always known that he shouldn’t get attached, even if it is to the man he loves.

And it’s not like he enjoys it. It’s not like he enjoys his heart wither every time he watches Ferdinand swing into dance with someone else – another needy noble who wants something she’ll never get. It’s socially unacceptable for them to do so. Hubert knows that.

“You can always ask,” Edelgard mutters next to him, intelligent eyes watching him. “The two of you are dating. I’m sure he’d love to-”

“Lady Edelgard, you misunderstand,” he lies, though by the eyebrow she raises it’s obvious she doesn’t believe him. He doesn’t throw away the act anyway. His eyes on Edelgard stray to Ferdinand, dancing among the crowd. “I assure you will be safe. I’ll be going outside for a while. Situations like these…”

“You don’t feel comfortable,” Edelgard finishes knowingly. “It’s okay. I’ll be fine. And I’m here to talk.”

He nods. “I know.”

Then he leaves.

It’s relieving when the wind blows against his face, and he’s never before felt so grateful for the outside world. That ballroom was far too stuffy, anyway.

Hubert finds his fingers curling around his coat, nails digging into the soft leather as he tries to stop his body from trembling and ease the tightness of his throat. His eyes sting. He wipes them away and inhales a shaky breath.

He’s fine, he’s fine.

While he waits – he is unaware of how long he waits for – he feels the clenching of his throat get tighter, the shaking of his body tremble some more. His heart pounds against his chest and he just wants to scream-

“Hubert?”

Oh, flames.

“Ferdinand,” he replies, voice calm and collected.

Ferdinand, his boyfriend, comes into his view, smile wavering on his lips. “I couldn’t help but notice you left. Is… everything alright?”

His fingers brush against Hubert’s wrist.

Hubert nods. “I am quite out of place in those environments,” he says, trying to keep the bitterness from seeping into his tone. He fails as he speaks his next words, “and I am not immune to… jealousy.” The words sounded so foreign on his tongue.

Ferdinand, the dastard, laughs. “Hubert.” He grabs Hubert’s hand, pulling him close, so close their chests are touching. “There’s no one but you.” And while they embrace, Ferdinand guides him as he leads the dance, Hubert following his footsteps.

“I love you,” he chokes out.

“I love you too,” Ferdinand whispers back, and in the wake of the night, they dance.

THIS IS ME ASKING FOR YOUR FERDITHEABERT HEADCANONS I didn't even know how badly I needed this ot3!!

THABK YOU FOR ENABLIGN ME

SO MUCH under the cut

I’m gonna go with individual ships first and then branch into ferditheabert that way it’s easier to sort of chronicle ???

Also someone remind me to write a fic one day im literally going to go through an entire plotline over here sndmdkdkdkd

Pre-Timeskip Ferdithea

I think this one would be the one that would happen first

I’m a whore for canon so everything definitely happens according to the supports imo

Ferdinand sort of just goes with the flow and is nice to everyone but anyone with eyes can see he’s madly in love with Dorothea

Just absolutely head over heels like

“If you asked me to jump off a bridge right now I would go do it” kind of head over heels madly in love

Dorothea is aware but is trying very hard not to be

She doesn’t really get it because she’s still under the impression he was gawking at her in the fountain and suddenly feels guilty about it now that they’re pretty much on the same pedestal

And as Dorothea navigates how she feels about Ferdinand and his adoration of her, she turns to Hubert’s relationship with Edelgard

Pre-Timeskip Huberthea

Dorothea pesters Hubert endlessly about his feelings for Edelgard

Knowing that his feelings for her aren’t romantic is relieving, but she’s not sure why

Especially because this now makes Ferdinand’s doting on her even more confusing

So she hangs around Hubert, much to his annoyance, to see what fuels his drive for Edelgard

She ends up doing a few tasks with him like buying some Bergamot, polishing axes, and eventually uh

They touch hands

While harvesting some Noa Fruit

And the ensuing weekend dinner with the Professor becomes all the more awkward because of course the Professor is playing matchmaker after noticing the time they’ve been spending together

Then one day Dorothea notices Hubert drinking coffee and is like

Holy shit that stuff we used to drink to stay up for five fucking acts of an opera how do you drink that

But he makes a bombass brew and suddenly the caffeine addiction is back

They don’t really talk about the almost-touches and the wistful talks about romance that don’t really go anywhere

But Dorothea manages to convince Hubert to do some things for himself (like planting coffee beans in the greenhouse and like vent)

And Hubert’s errands for Edelgard takes Dorothea’s mind off the stress of finding a suitor

Because devotion to someone or something is ,,, honestly a lot more important than money

And holy shit maybe there’s something to Ferdinand’s actions?????

Oh well better ignore it for now

Pre-Timeskip Ferdibert

But this is where it gets cOMPLICATED folks

Hubert is VERY aware that what he has with Dorothea is bordering romantic but he’s trying to push that down a because he feels like he doesn’t deserve someone who could be as devoted to him as he is to them

He’s ALSO trying to push down his feelings for Ferdinand mostly because he knows that Ferdinand is currently pursuing Dorothea

So Hubert is caught in the middle between the two

If at all, he tries to focus a little more on his attraction to Ferdinand because he understands that Dorothea is currently not interested in either one of them

(or else she would’ve said something, right????)

Also, due to Ferdinand being heir apparent to the prime ministry, Hubert has an excuse to keep watch over him

I mean

What can I say except Hubert is morosexual

He wants someone to fix/take care of and currently Dorothea is not exhibiting that need

Ferdinand tho? dude would literally lose his head if it weren’t attached to his neck

Eventually Hubert draws up a proposal to have a double prime ministry so that he can overlook Ferdinand’s actions in the future

He ends up tucking the draft into a drawer, but the idea tends to sit at the tip of his tongue every time he sees Ferdinand

He’s afraid Ferdinand will see it for what it is

A proposal proposal

And that’s exactly what it is

And he (no thoughts) talks to Dorothea about it and she (head empty) encourages him to propose it at the dance

Pre-Timeskip Goddess Tower

so after presumably edelethy actions have happened and the goddess tower becomes unoccupied,

Hubert asks Ferdinand to accompany him up to the tower for the government proposal™️

Ferdinand doesn’t suspect anything

But then they get up there and Dorothea is there, waiting to pour her heart out to Hubert because she realizes if she doesn’t nip it in the bud, she’ll never have a devoted suitor (and also she still doesn’t realize that this is a proposal proposal)

So then it basically becomes that spiderman meme with all the spidermen pointing at each other because they all have dumb stupid crushes on each other

Problem is they’re all young and dumb and they don’t know how to sort it out so they just don’t and leave

Post-Timeskip Ferdithea

So war happens and everyone’s pretty distant from each other

Then the Professor comes back and is extremely upset to see all the rifts between everyone

So everyone kind of tries

But that’s hard because it’s been five years and the rifts are now pretty much ravines

Ferdinand finally gets the nerve up to talk to Dorothea again because he’s at his breaking point

He can’t stand not talking to either of them and Dorothea’s more open to talking

Their A support happens and Dorothea finally understands why Ferdinand did the things he did

ONLY PROBLEM IS

NOW HUBERT/EDELGARD IS VERY CONFUSING AGAIN

Post-Timeskip Huberthea

So Dorothea finally confronts Hubert again and asks him again if he truly loves Edelgard

He decidedly does not

He also decidedly does not want to speak to Dorothea after the Goddess Tower Incident

Dorothea begs him to at least speak to Ferdinand

Hubert considers this

Post-Timeskip Ferdibert

Meanwhile, Ferdinand is mending the bridge between himself and Hubert

They have their A+ Support

They start doing missions together

And after Hubert protects Ferdinand from a close call with a Faerghus fusillade, Ferdinand starts to see what Dorothea saw in Hubert

Uh the devotion that is

Now Ferdiberthea :)

So have i said devotion enough yet? Because that’s the name of the game

And Dorothea fuckiNg misses Hubert

and Ferdinand is pretty much spending all his time with Hubert so Dorothea ends up missing him a lot too

(Also at this point both Ferdithea/ferdibert have become an unspoken thing around Garreg Mach and everyone is VERY confused)

(Except the Professor who is watching their matchmaking attempts come to fruition)

So anyway Dorothea has Edelgard arrange for her to go on the next mission with Hubert and Ferdinand

And OOPS ITS WINTER AND THEY ALL GET STRANDED IN A SMALL TOWN WITH ONLY A ONE BED ROOM OPEN AT AN INN

it’s a king size don’t worry

They just have to get used to each other’s company for a long Pegasus Moon

Ferdinand catches onto the coldness between Hubert and Dorothea so he tries to find situations to get them alone together

So after a couple of those moments, Hubert and Dorothea have a colder version of their A support out in the small town market

There’s some crying, some consoling, and a passionate makeout back at the inn followed by Ferdinand reaping the spoils by joining in

When they get back to Garreg Mach, they become an impervious wall of magic and equestrian fighting

They also become an impervious wall of love and devotion

Miscellaneous headcanons

Ferdinand always sleeps in the middle just because Hubert and Dorothea can be all over each other one minute, and suddenly need space the next

It’s not that they don’t like each other, they’re just both A LOT sometimes

Dorothea and Hubert often stay up longer than Ferdinand because they are very avid coffee drinkers

They double team carrying him back to the bedroom if he ends up nodding off at a late night war meeting

One thing to keep in mind is that I also headcanon Hubert as trans

And so he has met Dorothea at an opera in person before Garreg Mach, she just doesn’t recognize him, and he’s gonna let it stay that way

But it was with her that he was introduced to coffee, which sort of helped him through Edelgard’s disappearance (if you count staying up until the crack of dawn to plan ways to rescue her as “help”)

Hubert will never admit that he’s sick because he is devoted to his royal duties

so Dorothea and Ferdinand take turns staying with him to make sure he doesn’t move and fulfilling his duties in his absence

Ferdinand is still very fuCking reckless and hes even more reckless in war so it takes both dark knight!Hubert and gremory!Dorothea (riding on Hubert’s horse usually) to keep great knight!Ferdinand in check

Were you also disappointed that Dorothea wasn’t a theater/opera kid meme? Me too.

Anyway she is. And so is Ferdinand. So they convert Hubert into operakidism and then proceed to annoy the rest of the black eagles endlessly with opera songs and dance numbers

Listen, if u haven’t seen the Manuela/Ferdinand supports,,, like

Manuela is an enabler of the opera kids just saying

also it is no secret that Ferdinand is a horse girl and he ends up turning the other two into horse girls as well and eventually the rest of the black eagles have to ban horses from conversation entirely

Pegasi were already banned from conversation because of Hubert

Eventually the three get married and have a couple kids by mage

They take an annual winter vacation in a small town to rekindle any sparks they might lose in the stress of governance

Has somebody written a Ferdibert body-swap fic yet. I feel like it would be funnier pre-timeskip because they’d both be such big babies about how much they hate this, whereas post-timeskip it’s a lot of thirsting and blushing and trying very hard to not think about the body they’re currently inhabiting.

ALL FOOLS IN LOVE

Fire Emblem: Three Houses Hubert von Vestra / Ferdinand von Aegir

[huberts-private-counsel-archive]

UAAAAAAAA!!!! I HAVE BEEN DYING TO PESTER YOU ABOUT HUBERT BUT I CAN NEVER SEEM TO THINK OF ANY GOOD QUESTIONS IM SO SORRY AAAAAAAAAHHH so instead could I hear some of your feel good or cutesy Hubie head canons, by chance??? :3

Well....ain't this a fun and totally not ironic ask to get directly after I wrote ferdibert angst

IN ALL SERIOUSNESS THO I LOVE UR ART AND AM HONORED YOU SENT THIS IN?? SO AAAAAAA HERE I GO

I'm pretty sure you saw, but I don't think I can top what I'll call the Mocha headcanons (aka asks detailing Hubert actually getting a pegasus that he named Mocha) in terms of cutesy. I'll still try tho!

I like to imagine that after a certain amount of time (I'm picturing pre-timeskip, but you can imagine post-timeskip if you want!), the other Black Eagles tend to pick up on when Hubert is starting to push himself past his limits after *ahem* a certain incident (See: The Linhardt and Hubert supports XD) . After that, each of them try, in their own way, to make sure Hubert gets in a break every now and then and not, yknow, work himself into the ground. Most of them are subtle about it. Some (Caspar) are not. But they do all try. Even Byleth steps in on occasion to get Hubert to take a break.

While Hubert is definitely not used to all the care being sent his way, he's not as bothered by it as he thought he would've been. Dare he say...he actually likes it.

I also like to think that Hubert is genuinely fond of animals, not just pegasi. He's never truly owned a pet though - if anything, Mocha would've been his first pet - but he has been seen on occasion just sitting on the ground and doing reports surrounded by the monastery animals. Of course it isn't anything vital - he's not dumb enough to do important work out in the open - but he does have a set of mindless reports and such that he can fill out without needing to worry too much.

Sometimes, he even looks like a typical Disney princess. Except instead of being surrounded by woodland critters, he's surrounded by stray cats and dogs from the monastery XD

1) Hubert doesn't want Ferdinand to cut his hair after the war, so he takes some...unique measures to prevent that at all costs.

2) Hubert and Ferdinand just cannot seem to get along! But when Ferdinand crosses a line during an argument they have, new feelings buble to the surface...

[gascon-en-exil]

I mean, isn't Hubert's attraction to Edelgard canon regardless of whether it is reciprocated or not? Even if Ferdibert happens Hubert still did everything he did pre-timeskip anyway???

Hubert’s definitely into Edelgard no matter what. I take it as a number of things, from unrequited attraction being a messy and decidedly non-fluffy topic to a refusal to reckon with all the terrible things Hubert does for Edelgard to (specifically from the Ferdibert fanbase) an inability to recognize that the same character can be both a creepy murderous incel with a toxic relationship to the most important woman in his life and one half of a gay couple.

I love one-sided Edelbert. It’s ugly and complicated and adds so much to their dynamic and to Hubert’s relationship with Ferdinand (and by extension Ferdinand’s rivalry with Edelgard). Plus, it adds even more dark comedy and dirty kink potential to the whole situation, and who doesn’t enjoy that?

...Well, obviously some people don’t, but I’m going to guess that anyone who imagine Edelbert (platonic or romantic) as soft and fluffy isn’t terribly interested in their canon dynamic.

[miss-1ng]

Can you take two prompts together and combine into one? If yes then kissie no. 50 and 14. If not then do just no. 50

Pre Timeskip Ferdibert kissie number 50 (and 14 if you can)?

Ferdinand pushes Hubert onto his bed and kisses him desperately, whispering into his ear that this is their secret and Hubert is his only.

I definitely can!! I loved writing some soft Ferdibert, thank you so much for requesting!!

There's no content/trigger warnings for this, though there are neck kisses (not sure if that counts?). Stay safe anyway everyone!!!! <3 <3 <3

--

The last thing Hubert is expecting is a visitor, which is why the knock on his door this late at night is rather uncalled for.

He expects it to be Edelgard as he stands up and goes to open the door but is proved wrong when a pair of bright amber eyes stare back at him. “Ferdinand.” His voice sounds strange to his ears – unusually high pitched. He clears his throat. “What are you doing here?”

Instead of answering, Ferdinand walks through the doorway, and stands across from him, watching him with a lost look in his eyes.

Hubert feels his hand brush against the silver dagger carefully concealed in his cloak. He doesn’t want to use it but… Ferdinand is acting strange. Even for him. He narrows his eyes at the man he has begun to call his friend, his heart thumping loudly against his chest.

“I’ve waited too long,” Ferdinand suddenly whispers, his voice breaking the silence.

“Excuse me?” Hubert finds himself snapping – not because he’s bitter or annoyed but because he’s fucking concerned and what the fuck is Ferdinand talking about-

Ferdinand suddenly lunges forward, pulling Hubert forward by the lapels of his jacket, locking their lips together in a fierce kiss.

He is… stunned… to say the least.

While Ferdinand kisses him with his eyes squeezed tightly shut, Hubert just stares, that painfully familiar thudding in his chest speeding up. His hands on Ferdinand’s wrists slip off, letting the man pull him close.

He suddenly lets go, panting heavily, that beautiful blush of his settling on his cheeks. “Was that too forward?”

“No,” Hubert croaks. “It just… caught me off guard…”

With that Ferdinand surges forwards once more, whispering, “Tell me if this is too much,” before pushing him on his bed. His lips find Hubert’s, and this time he finds himself kissing back with equal force, relishing the taste – the taste of his favourite tea, Southern Fruit Blend (Hubert knows because Ferdinand had given it to him to taste once) – as he pulls him close onto his chest.

Ferdinand peppers kisses around Hubert’s jaw, before moving down, his hand sliding underneath his shirt. Hubert finds himself shivering from the contact and inhales sharply as Ferdinand pinches the soft skin of his neck.

“I love you,” Ferdinand whispers, and the words are almost too much. Hubert finds himself stilling as he slowly pulls away. There’s something hopeful in his eyes – glistening as he watches Hubert hesitantly sit back up. As much as he’d like to, Hubert cannot ignore it.

He presses his icy hand against the skin of his neck and nods back. “I love you too,” he chokes out, the words sounding so foreign as they leave his tongue but at the same time so right.

“But-”

That causes Hubert to almost double take.

Ferdinand’s hands cup his chin. “I need you to keep us a secret. If there even is an… us…”

“Of course,” Hubert replies, not too sure if he’s replying to the first or the second or maybe even both. Either way he pulls Ferdinand close, nestling his head in the smaller man’s hair as his kisses on his skin soon become second nature. “Anything for you.”
