I know I've mentioned this before, but I keep thinking back to how funny it is that Setsuna and Azama were the retainers who stayed in Revelations. As much as she cares about them, Azama and Setsuna are the least retainer like Retainers in the game.

Setsuna and Azama were introduced to the player in chapter 8 of Birthright by Setsuna falling into a trap, and Azama laughing at her. Then, Azama points out that he has no weapons so it will be Hinoka protecting him, while Setsuna falls into yet another trap. Hinoka ends that particular conversation with these words.

"Gods. I knew I couldn't rely on the two of you, but this is worse than I imagined! Just try and hold it together long enough for us to see this through, all right? Maybe Ryoma and Takumi can help me babysit, once we finally catch up to them..."

Setsunas support topics

Trap supports full:- 3 Corrin, Jacob, Silas

Supports involving traps:- 7 ,Kaze, Kaden, Takumi, Ryoma (most of it is about Archery, but traps come back in the A support), Selena & Arther(also about shopping), Hinoka and Setsuna make it through most of their support chain about learning to cook something edible before Setsuna comes across mouse traps. So close

Supports involving hunting- 4. Takumi, Kaden, Kaze, Hayato.

Trap free supports and topics:- 8. Subaki, Saizo, Kagero and Hana - training, Azama -cooking, Hayato -Her ability to hum, Hinata-medicine, Niles- privilege.

Setsuna can grocery shop. Seems to be able to cook when not being experimental. Can lure animals by humming to kill them, would instantly destroy the message in a game of broken telephone, has trouble following directions (probably beacuse she gets so distracted), comes from a rich family, and is good at archery. It once took her a day to make it to the archery range beacuse she fell into every trap in the vicinity, and got upped in the S support where it took two days.

To contrast the diffrence between Setsuna and Saizo as retainers, we look at his support with her. Saizo ensures Ryoma is asleep first, gets up before him, gets his clothes and breakfast, and watches for Hazards. In contrast, Setsuna goes to bed, wakes up in the morning after Hinoka has put out her clothes and breakfast for her, and then goes to practice archery, where presumbly based on other supports, she gets caught in a trap. Hinoka Just straight up decided "shes hopless at everything in retainering but archery, so I might as well learn to enjoy the chores." Both Saizo and Kagaro are trying to teach her how to do her job better and are not seen succeeding.

One more stat. S support proposals that involve traps: Corrin, Jacob, Kaze, Silas, Takumi, Kaden, Ryoma, Arthur.

Now lets do Azama. And start with a Quote from his conversation with Arthur.

"Hahaha. Me? Support her? Listen, I barely do anything. SHE supports me. You're not likely to meet a tougher customer anywhere in the world"

Like Setsuna, someone takes Azama on for retainer training. Unfourtunatly for for the people who need to work with them, its Felicia, which means this does not happen before he and Setsuna are the only retainers left between the Hosidan older siblings.

Azama is a weird holy man. He has killed a bear durring meditation lessons, drove Sakura to anger strongly enough that she snapped a staff in half, doesn't want to bother to try healing people he feels are certian to die yet goes out of his way to heal Effie, has been Hinokas retainer for years, and is insanely presumptuous when proposing to a lot of people including both royal ladies. He also apparantly teases people he has feelings for, and genrally does not have the manor one would expect of the healer or monk. He's aggravating.

Hanas and Subaki's support is around training, in baffling ways.

Beruka, Mozu, Orochi, Hinoka, Hayato, Kagaro, Oboro, and Kaden all invole Azuma being a strange person, and usually insulting them. Arthur is the one who discovers his backstory.

"The rumor is that you were the second son to a family that ran a shrine for many years. You were a troublemaker who loved to mouth off about everything. But after trekking through the woods, you discovered the ascetic lifestyle. And eventually you settled down enough to be suitable for monkhood. Is that all true?"

And apparantly, it is true.

"I also heard that when you were training in the mountains, you met a pegasus rider. She had fallen and injured herself. That rider was Lady Hinoka. She was so impressed with your conduct that she searched high and low to find you. When she finally did, she requested that you become her retainer. In fact, I heard that you're the only person she named to the palace guard. "

(Of course this is all based in english translation. I wonder if the Japanese gives more details about them that I missed. )

Save that there were 2 people Hinoka named to the palace guard. Azuma and Setsuna. The two personal retainers who didn't defect to corrins army. (Yukimura is loyal to Hoshido first and foremost.) Saizo and Kagaro left in chapter 11. The Hoshidan older siblings don't join Corrin's army until chapter 16, five chapters later. They meet in chapter 13, in Cyrkensia, and can make their betrayal known. It appears durring that time, Ryomas been hanging with Scarlett, while Hinoka has been defending the home.

Which means, their inability to be typical retainers has been Yukimuras problem and the castle defence. And it seems to have made them more serious. Or at least, have a better introduction.

Azama: "I apologize for interrupting this happy family reunion, Lady Hinoka...but you have forgotten to introduce us, your loyal retainers."

Corrin: "Huh? You are...?"

Azama: "I am called Azama. If you make foolish mistakes and injure yourselves, I can put you right."

Setsuna: "Um... I'm Setsuna. I'm good with...a bow. ...Azama... You are standing on my foot."

Azama: "Ahaha! My apologies!"

Hinoka: "As Azama said, these two are my retainers! Don't judge them by appearances; they come through when it counts."

Still does not seem to change the fact that Hinoka is the one making breakfast. Yukimura is here pulling his hair out.

Spring, Picnic and Budding Love

Thank you, thank you, thank you SO MUCH for the support and the BOTTOMLESS patience, @sundaychamomile ! I hope you like it!!!! TvT)b

Summary: What should a prince, one who strived to be as accomplished and reliable as anyone, do once he found someone he liked? Leo found himself in a pickle trying to call his sweetheart Effie on a date while still maintaining his dignity, though it was anyone's guess if he actually could...

Commission info HERE and HERE!

______________________________

The Astral Realm, a place where one can enter and be protected of both enemies, the passing of time and the seasons themselves. However, it wasn’t as though there were no seasons in such a realm at all — they simply behaved differently than the ones in the outside world.

It was fascinating, in all honesty. One week, it was spring, yet, come next week — bam! Autumn. All the flowers that were in full bloom just yesterday — falling on the ground, withering along with the cold weather.

A pattern did not seem to exist for such phenomena, yet, if one were to observe closely, one could predict the next season rotation and prepare accordingly. After all, there were farms and fields located at the warmest areas that grew as if following the real world’s time, while still being greatly affected by the Astral Realm’s seasons.

Leo had taken upon himself to study these marvels, not simply because of his own magical interest — given that his tome, Brynhildr, was closely related to earth and nature itself — but as a way to help improve their army’s conditions and provisions.

It was another task thrown into the pile of his own self-inflicted duties that he took pride partaking in. After all, he had a deep-rooted desire to prove himself despite being already quite accomplished, so it was something he chose to do.

Besides, knowledge was never wasted, no matter how trivial it sounded. Not that predicting the weather and the seasons was something trivial in the least, but… Alas.

No. Truth be told, Leo had ulterior motives after getting used to the predictions.

According to his calculations, spring would start tomorrow, and would last for all but four days. After that, it would be a scorching, long-lasting summer, so the opportunity might take a long time to ever come again.

Leo took a deep breath. He had four days to prepare. Four days to research the best spot, three days to gather the supplies, two to put it all together, and only one to actually do it.

Of course, he still had to ask for the other party's opinion on all of this and... Argh, that was the most frustrating part. Predicting people's reactions based on emotion.

Still, he was at least at a better level at it than Beruka, so he could at least give himself a pat on the back for that.

... Oh, what was he saying? Comparing himself to Beruka of all people regarding human emotions and thinking he had the upper hand? It would be weird if he did not!

"Breathe, Leo," he murmured to himself, placing one hand on a wall and lowering his head so he could take a deep breath. In and out, that's it. In and out. "This isn't like me at all," he sighed.

Ah, how love changes one person, does it not? Where did all that confidence and poise as prince had gone? If anyone looked at him now, basically all but trembling at a corner of the library as if he had been suddenly struck by anemia, they would think him mad.

Still, he couldn't mask the little smile that sprouted upon his lips as he imagined the scene — once his plan was complete, all the preparations were done, and the two of them, him and her, having a great time under the blossoming trees.

He placed the other hand on his faint heart, clutching it as if he could pat it directly so it would calm down.

Yes, he could do it. After all, who was he? He was Leo, second Prince of Nohr, most accomplished scholar, strategist and magician, heir of the magical tome of wonder, Brynhildr! And none other.

Puffing his chest up, after a small self-pumping session, he was good to go.

Little did he know that his little theater was a source of much entertainment for his retainer, Niles, who observed him from outside of the window, over a tree. He would laugh about it for a few days; might even tell Leo about it, too.

Still, Leo left none the wiser to his retainer's shenanigans, basically hopping to make all the necessary arrangements. There was a long night of detailed planning ahead, but Leo was no stranger to all-nighters.

As expected, spring had sprung once dawn broke, showering all of the Astral Realm with pink petals and dancing pollen.

For a nohrian, it was still a rather strange feeling to experience spring so clearly, and perhaps that was the reason why he figured spring would be the perfect season to invite her over. Such a magical season, full of sprouting buds, flowering delights and delicious food.

Yes, ‘delicious food’ was the key here. Leo had read in a book that ‘the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach’, but gender was of no importance in this case. There had been several confirmed cases of such a phenomenon being true as he himself had researched not only within the army but also in some cities they passed by during their march.

Well, it had been Niles who went out to do the footwork for this research, but although he liked to fool around, he had Leo’s absolute trust. Ergo, the theory was proven true and he could start to apply it in practice. It was known for a fact that her appetite was on the… larger side, so the most logical approach would be to cater to that.

Although he thought he needed four days to look for the perfect spot, it didn’t take even half a day to find one: under the blossoming trees in the southern path leading out of the Astral Realm. Usually, since they could leave through each of the four corners of the castle, there were preferred routes they could take to arrive wherever they wanted. The southern path was the most beautiful, but also the furthest away from the living or farming area. In truth, it was the closest entrance to the mines and panning pools — places which weren’t really needed for a marching army to explore.

Suffice to say, it was a perfect, quiet spot with very low chances of interruption. Besides, watching the pink, fluttering flowers dance from under a large tree seemed to be a magical experience with guaranteed success in any romantic endeavors. Sure, Leo wasn’t about to take Niles’ word for it, especially considering the side smirk and the way he sneakily held his waist as if trying to hold back laughter, but seeing the place now, it did feel rather idyllic.

“Moving ahead of schedule,” Leo nodded to himself, crossing a bullet point in his notepad. He turned on his heel and left to procure the necessary ingredients for the feast.

The Astral Realm was really a blessing in that aspect — they could have a portable farm with them and not worry about taking great dips in their food stock. Sure, the farms still followed the real world’s time, but for an army that had to march year in, year out, it was a lifesaver to be able to enjoy the bounties of harvest while on the road.

As such, it wasn’t as if Leo was taking anything out of the pantry for his own selfish reasons — it was food that was going to be served to the soldiers anyway, especially considering his target’s bottomless appetite.

Ah, dear Effie.

She had caught his eye on more than one occasion even before they started marching into war. Through seemingly impossible odds, she became the youngest royal retainer to date only to reunite with Leo’s little sister, Elise, whom she had a budding friendship with a few years ago.

Through sheer determination, she bettered herself, perfected herself, trained herself. Each day she was ready to put her life on the line for her master and for her comrades, without ever losing sight of what was truly important.

The way she marched on ahead with a single goal in mind was baffling and charming to the overthinker Leo. She put her mind to one aspect of her life and ran away with it, cranking it up to eleven. Leo couldn’t help noticing how his gaze stayed on her longer and longer over the years, finally coming to the conclusion that he was in love after truly watching her in action.

She was dashing, she was caring… she was adorable, even when stuffing her face with food. Niles would laugh should he ever find out that Leo found her cute even when she tried to speak with her cheeks full of food. It was like a hamster. A huge, strong hamster that could bench press an uprooted tree like it was nothing.

So charming…

“Whoops,” Leo caught himself thinking about her as he procured the ingredients, noticing how his hands had stopped filling the entire crate with food. “Will this be enough…? I’ve seen her eat about this much food on a good day, but perhaps just to be safe…” he reached for a few more tomatoes.

Now that the plan was ahead of schedule, he had to think on his feet. If he started making the dishes right away, he would need to call on her as soon as possible — no matter how strong his preservation magic was, it worked best on raw ingredients. The moment they were mixed during cooking, the magic would lose its potency and the flavors could get mixed up should he try to strengthen it again.

So… it would all come down to him asking her out. He had already used a day of preparations, so if he cooked the whole day tomorrow, the food should still taste okay for the following day. Since there was no adverse weather in the Astral Realm, there was no need to worry about any spring showers ruining anything.

Thus, truly, it would all come down to him asking her out.

He took a deep breath.

In, and out. In… and out.

What a craven! Just the thought of coming up to her and asking to go on a date made his legs feel like mush. Besides, she was hardly ever alone. Sure, whenever she was training or eating she would stay by herself, but she disliked being talked to during such times.

She was such a serious and upfront person… Leo sighed like a schoolgirl in love, then shook his head to do away with such girlish thoughts.

First, he would cook. Then, he would look for her at the end of the day — surely she would be retiring to her quarters and, most importantly, far, far away from Elise. It would be the perfect moment to strike.

Puffing his chest up again, Leo nodded to himself and leff with light feet, confident in his own plan. Executing it would be another story, but for now, he was content.

The following day, he poured his heart out into cooking. He was someone that was able to master a skill after watching it once or twice — despite his initial clumsiness — so doing an array of tomato-related dishes was no problem at all. Nonetheless, he had to keep Effie’s tastes in mind when cooking, so he added plenty of meat and carbohydrates in the form of a wide variety of sandwiches. Tomato juice, tomato sauce, cheesy sandwich with sweetened tomato — a product of his own creation which he dubbed ‘ketchup’ — plenty of different kinds of patties of meat pressed between fresh vegetables and fluffy bread… It truly looked like he was preparing a feast for 50 people.

It would allllll go only for her. He smiled, thinking of her content expression in the face of such scrumptious lunch. The more he cooked, the more confident he felt about his odds.

So much so that he rode that wave and left as soon as he was finished storing it all safely, making his way to the soldier’s quarters.

Call it eagle’s eyes, rose-tinted glasses or what you will, but Leo managed to find Effie quite easily amidst them all. As royal retainer, she was allowed to sleep at the tower adjacent to the royal family’s, and Leo caught a glimpse of her just about to enter it.

“Effie!” He called out, proud that his voice didn’t crack. She was thankfully alone, so now was the perfect time.

Hearing her name, Effie turned around. For a moment, it felt like they were the only ones in the world. Leo felt like the falling petals and warm wind around them were spurring him into action. He could almost even hear some sort of background music, as if a world famous harp player were accompanying Azura’s most heartfelt song.

He gulped, taking another step forward.

“My Lord?” Effie turned to him, her cheeks slightly turning pink from catching the attention of someone so distinguished as Lord Leo himself. She looked up to his taller height as he approached, her heart fluttering.

Oblivious to Effie’s inner positive response, Leo somehow managed to walk over to where she was without tripping. He was focusing so much on basic movements he was out of breath.

“Effie, are you—” he huffed, shaking his head. “Are you free tomorrow?”

“My Lord, are you okay—” she reached out to his sweating countenance, catching a whiff of something delicious coming out of his clothes. “This is…” she took a deeper breath, being charmed by the smell of food.

“Well? Are you?” Leo urged, slightly panicking after she made a motion to touch his forehead with a handkerchief that somehow appeared in her hand.

Effie felt somewhat more comfortable after smelling food, so she reached her goal of patting the beads of sweat on his forehead. “Hm?” She smiled, catching Leo off guard. “I’m sorry, my Lord, could you repeat that?”

“It’s—!” He screeched, then cleared his throat. “C-come…” he tried to breathe in, but the scent of her floral handkerchief inebriated him, making his eyes twirl in panic. “Come tomorrow to the southern entrance!!” He blurted it all out as an order instead of as a request, but he was practically hyperventilating, so coherent thought was the first to go.

“B-but…” Shocked, Effie pulled out her hand, but Leo took it in a stupor, making them enter each other’s personal spaces. She gulped, her heart beating so fast she also was at a loss for words. “But what about training…”

“You can come after! After the morning training!” He almost yelled, squeezing her hand before letting it go altogether, turning around to leave. “You better be there! I’ll be waiting!” he said as he ran away, bright in the face, redder than the ripest of tomatoes.

“L-Lord Leo…” she reached out the place he was just a moment ago, seeing only his retreating back as he ran out of the soldier’s garrison.

“Whaaat?! Did he pretend not to know I was here, or something?!” Elise puffed up her cheeks, coming out of the door behind Effie.

“I don’t… I don’t know.” Effie turned to Elise, returning the handkerchief. “Thank you for this, Lady Elise.”

“Honestly…” Elise crossed her arms after tucking the hankie away. She had even greeted him, gave Effie something to wipe his sweat with and waved from behind her and everything! How blind was he?! “I’m gonna ask Camilla if she knows anything about this, Effie. Thanks for escorting me, buh-bye!”

“Hm, yeah… bye…” she lifted one hand in a half-hearted parting gesture, still looking at the place Leo had disappeared to.

Elise, with a frown still adorably knotted in her face, went up the stairs, deep in thought.

It wasn’t uncommon for Leo to make silly blunders, like coming out of his room with pajama pants, or with his clothes inside out. There was one day when he came out to the battlefield still holding his pillow! It was hilarious.

Nevertheless, he was second only to Xander in overall competence within their family, so Elise respected him a lot despite all his flaws. She just wasn’t sure why he was acting so strangely with Effie when she was right there…

Deep in thought, Elise arrived in Camilla’s room right after, being welcomed with a big hug. While they caught up and Camilla brushed her hair, she explained what had happened a few minutes previous and jumped in surprise when Camilla threw her head back in laughter.

“My, oh my!! My, my!” She giggled, her beautiful face glistening and reddening in delight. “Elise, dear, you weren’t planning on going with Effie tomorrow, were you?”

“Huh? I mean…” she looked down, rather dejected.

“Oh, dear, so you figured it out, too? Why the long face?” Camilla hugged Elise’s shoulders from behind.

“It’s just that, I dunno… It feels kinda lonely. I look up to Big Brother Leo a lot and I respect him and I know he would be perfect for Effie since she’s my bestest of friends and I want all of the best for her, but… But…” she covered her face with her bangs, hiding her expression through the mirror Camilla was looking at.

“Mhm, darling. I’m proud of you for saying all that. How much you’ve grown!” Camilla teased, feeling Elise snort a bit before going back to pretend to sulk. “If you’d like, why don’t we take a walk tomorrow? Say, perhaps by the southern entrance…”

Elise’s head shot up. “Eh?! B-but won’t we intrude on them? I’m…”

“Oh? Whatever do you mean, my dear? We will just be taking a leisure walk, we won’t be disturbing anyone’s business,” she winked, making Elise’s expression brighten up.

“Uh-huh! I get it! Undercover spy mission!” She struck a pose much like how Odin would. Her shoulders felt less burdened and the smile returned to her lips.

“Now that suits you much more, dear,” Camilla smiled, caressing the corner of the oblivious Elise’s lips.

The two sisters planned their stakeout and gossiped until way into the night.

The following morning, while Elise slept, Camilla left earlier in the morning for her own training, though she also planned to go to where Leo was. If anyone needed a big sister right now, it was him.

She watched over how he loaded up a cart with a few crates and jugs, nodded to himself and ran back in only to come out one hour later fully dressed with a cute vernal outfit, and perfumed to boot!

“So cute, little brother. This big sister will watch over you,” Camilla giggled as he strapped the cart on his horse and had it pull it to the designated spot. “Well, I should go to Elise before she notices I’m gone.”

Another hour later, the pair of sisters were ready to start their stakeout.

Elise adorably wore a black cloak over her entire body, and tried to cover her face with one of her oversized pigtails. It looked so silly and cute Camilla couldn’t take it, so she said nothing and simply followed her lead.

“Are you sure this is okay, Big Sister?” Elise asked with a muffled voice from all that hair, glancing back at Camilla who was walking around like normal behind her. “W-won’t we get found out? I think Leo would be super mad at me if I do something wrong… I’m scared when he’s really angry.”

“Don’t worry, dear Elise, everything will be fine. He’ll be so caught up in our lady friend he won’t even notice us. Besides, there’s a gazebo a bit further down the path from where we can see it all with no trouble.”

Why Leo didn’t choose that place as the date spot was anyone’s guess, honestly. It would protect them from the elements and from falling petals, but it wasn’t for Camilla to guess what went through her little brother’s genius mind.

Arriving safely on their spot, the sisters comfortably sat down, enjoying the cool spring breeze.

“Ah!” Elise perked up, pointing somewhere below them. “He’s there, big sister!”

“So he is,” Camilla nodded.

Leo had decorated the place perfectly. Since it was under a tree, he brought a sturdy, light-colored cloth to place on the ground, then another, lighter and cuter one to place on top of it for a spot of color; separated the food in various baskets and dessert towers while keeping the larger jugs of beverage and water somewhere closer so it would be easier to refill their cups.

It was absolutely perfect.

“But, Little Brother, if you do it like that for so long…” Camilla placed one hand over her cheek in worry.

Leo, oblivious to the stalking sisters a ways behind him, was too fidgety to worry about anything but how to breathe at that moment.

He didn’t know if he should appear stoic, cool, aloof or eager when she finally arrived.

The poor prince changed positions at least seven times over the course of a single minute. Should he lean on the tree, or should he cross his legs? Maybe lean one arm over a knee and read a book with the other, coolly? Perhaps place the book on his lap and read normally? Or…

Curse having Odin around him all the time! Now he couldn’t stop overthinking the impact that a cool pose could have on a woman. He wasn’t about to go around yelling BLOOD AND THUNDER or whatever nonsense Odin screamed during battle, but now he was so overwhelmed by it all he was almost thinking Odin was right…

His eyes were twirling and he was getting dizzy, so maybe he should drink a cup of warm tea…

As he was reaching towards the teacup, he heard her arrive.

“S-sorry, Lord Leo, it took a bit longer than usual to do my routine…” Effie huffed, covered in sweat and still wearing her training clothes — which were weighted and heavier than normal clothes — but she still looked so striking.

The few rays of light that filtered through the trees illuminated the sweat running down her face, cheeks, neck and collarbone, wayy into her clothes…

Leo flinched at where his eyes were going, mentally slapping his face as he quickly got up. “Don’t mention it, I didn’t wait long— wah!” he obviously tripped over his legs which were asleep from being seated for so long, despite all of the moving around while trying to find a cool pose.

“Lord Leo!” Effie effortlessly caught him with one hand, though she knocked over one of the dessert towers in the process. “Oh, oh, I’m so sorry, Lord Leo! I’ll put it all back in no time—” She crouched to pick the food up, but the moment she took a fruit, she was bitten by an ant. “Ouch…”

“No, no, it’s all my fault for arranging them like this—” he tried to dissuade her and finally took a look at the ‘picnic for 50’ he had arranged all around him.

Ants.

There were so many ants.

Some went after the fruits, while others followed the juice’s trails. Some even went onto the sandwiches as well.

No, no, nononono! Leo froze on the spot, his stomach sinking.

It’s all ruined! Everything!

His plan had been so perfect; his organization, his cooking, even how he asked her out! … Well, maybe not that one, but still! How could he have been so stupid as to forget the existence of such stupid pests?!

He was the one in charge of developing pesticide for their crops, for gods’ sake!!! He knew they were an issue! He did!

Befuddled, Leo didn’t know what to do or what to say. “Effie, f-forgive me, I didn’t take that into account. It’s fine if you want to leave— Wait, what are you doing?! Don’t eat that!” He touched her shoulder in a panic as she ate an entire sandwich after swatting away the visible ants.

“Don’t worry, Lord Leo. It’s all really delicious!”

“I mean don’t eat them! They’re insects!” Pale in the face, Leo was aghast at Effie’s nonchalant attitude.

Effie tilted her head to the side. “They’re good for eyesight, didn’t you know?” She said with the straightest face one could ever muster, making Leo rethink his entire life.

“They’re… what?” He sat down, perplexed.

For a few seconds, there was only the sound of Effie munching, but then she started to shake a bit before giggling. “Pfft… B-because… Have you ever seen one wearing glasses?”

“What…?” Leo deflated, his eyes spinning. “What do you mean? There is no way to produce a pair of glasses small enough for ants to wear—”

Effie couldn’t hold it anymore and laughed a bit louder. “F-forgive my impudence, my Lord. It’s… it’s just that you’re so smart, I didn’t think you would take me so seriously…” She snorted down some more food, picking up the enormous jug with one hand and drinking straight from it without bothering with a cup.

“So it was… it was a joke.” he frowned, cursing his stupidity, then looked at the giggling woman in front of him.

She was… she was having fun. She was eating his food, even though there were ants all over the place.

“Don’t worry about them, my Lord. There’s no harm in eating ants.” She said with such conviction it actually made Leo feel less miserable. “Besides, with food this good, I wouldn’t want them to have it all for themselves!” She smiled toothily, making Leo’s heart skip a beat.

Ah, she was so beautiful. Even as she ate, even as she choked from eating so much — wait, he had to help her there, but still. She was so beautiful, so caring; so understanding.

She accepted his blunder with stride and managed to keep their picnic from flubbing completely.

Truly, there was no woman like her, Leo thought as he smiled shyly, taking a bite of one of the few sandwiches that were safe from the ants.

From their spot, the sisters breathed a collective sigh of relief to see the two of them enjoying themselves.

It was a good day.

Ko-Fi Commission: Corrin in Heat

Commission Prompt:

Basically, fem Corrin is in heat and desperately needs to fuck. Of everyone that could help, it ends up being Peri and Beruka, both futas, that have to help sate her lusts. Each of them taking turns fucking her, the other taking over when the first gets too tired. I'd prefer it starting with Corrin trying to resist her instincts before giving in, but if it doesn't quite fit for you then that's alright.

Commission below the read more

"A-Ahh…fuuuuck…"

Corrin had a problem. A big one, and one she had no idea how to deal with. Never before had she felt like her body was on fire, never before had she felt the intense craving to have a massive cock inside of her. Of course, never before had she been 18, the time when dragons such as herself began to go into heat cycles every now and then.

It just so happened that she was in the middle of one, desperately plunging her fingers in and out of her cunt late at night. Even with her countless orgasms, that distinct feeling of dissatisfaction was rising up within her. The feeling of needing an actual, proper cock, even though she had never taken one before, she had heard plenty. Yet, she couldn't satisfy that need.

How could she? She was the leader of the army, after all! Not only would it be disgraceful, it'd be taking advantage of subordinates. Yet with her dozenth orgasm and counting, Corrin couldn't stop herself, stop her mind from wandering the more her fingers plunged in and out. The more her other hand began to cup and grope her own tits, tweaking her own nipples.

She couldn't help but imagine that the fingers inside of her weren't fingers at all, but a massive, thick cock. That she was riding someone, energetically milking them dry of all their cum. Corrin bit her lip as the thoughts grew more and more, desperately trying to fight them.

"Haaaaa~" she whined again, another orgasm, tongue lolling out of her mouth as she tilted her head backwards. This was…why was this happening to her!? Even as she asked that, she slowly began to fingerfuck herself again, unable to stop her mind from wandering, to potential partners. People who could satisfy her, and who were still awake. Late at night, most were sound asleep…most, but not all. She could think of a few people that would be likely to be awake and not on guard duty.

It was then that her brain hit upon the perfect pair. Peri, no doubt awake to keep tabs on Xander's every move, and Beruka, awake to keep an eye out for enemy assassins or ambushes. Complete opposites in terms of personality, one loud and boisterous, the other cold, calculating.

But both ruthless…and both no doubt had stamina for days. Or at least that was what Corrin thought as her fourteenth orgasm hit. This time, though, she didn't immediately start fingering herself right away again. No, she instead eyed her glistening fingers, then stared at the ground for several moments, weighing her options. Wouldn't it…wouldn't it be worse, denying her urges?

Staying up all night, orgasming over and over into unconsciousness…if it could even claim her. That would be horrible, leading an army in such conditions. So, she made up her mind, standing up only to sway on her shaky legs. A few moments to get her bearings…and she was off to a nearby tent.

It didn't take long at all for her to coax Peri and Beruka into helping her out, not that they had much of a choice. Corrin had told them she had something important to say, led them off to a private area…and immediately jumped Beruka. Out of the two, Corrin figured she'd be the least likely to engage if she watched Corrin and Peri go at it.

But Peri…she might jump in if Corrin and Beruka did it, instead. Surprisingly, the normally quiet assassin let out a squeak as she went down, and another when Corrin's hands roamed all over her body. "Beruka…I need it. I need your fucking dick…" the normally pure princess commented, Beruka so stunned she didn't react. Not quick enough, anyway.

By the time she began to move, Corrin had already lowered Beruka's clothes, already plunged that fat dick into her folds. For the both of them, a wave of pleasure washed over their bodies, both moaning together. "Ha…cute. You make cute moans, Beruka!" and now that she had a cock in her, Corrin was really getting into it.

An eager smile on her face as she rocked her hips back and forth, the assassin barely able to keep a hold on herself already. Out of all the things that she expected this night, this was the very last thing! Jumped by Corrin, of all people, her rock hard cock being milked relentlessly.

Corrin wasn't letting her get any rest at all. She eagerly and ruthlessly bounced on Beruka's cock, fat hips slamming against that pelvis over and over. Loud slapping noises echoing around, Corrin thankful she had chosen such a faraway spot to do this. In spite of her status as a virgin, her cunt was greedily accepting the dick in it.

Corrin was so lost in it that she barely noticed Peri, watching the scene with wide eyes…and a grin of her own. A grin Corrin returned, as she reached down to grope at Beruka's chest, the assassin only able to give short thrusts in exchange for Corrin's harsh bouncing.

"It's gonna be your turn next, Peri. Be ready!" the dragon warned the other, locking eyes with the woman before returning her focus to Beruka. To her credit, the assassin was trying to keep up pace now, but it was clear that Corrin's hunger far outweighed Beruka's own.

And then just like that, only a few minutes in…Beruka howled as she thrust upward as far as she could, flooding the womb of the dragon with her seed. Corrin let out a pleased moan, clamping down on the dick spurting load after load of cum into her, invading every inch of her cunt before Beruka fell back to the ground with an audible thud, breathing heavy, eyes nearly crossed from the intense orgasm.

"Uhhhh, so-" before Peri could finish her sentence, Corrin was already on top of her, having launched herself at the other woman. Peri was barely able to let out a cry before she, too, fell to the ground just like Beruka before her. And just like Beruka before her, she was quick to find her cock balls deep inside of Corrin, the dragon princess letting out pleased moans as she began to frantically bounce on that dick. Now that she had gotten her first creampie, the hunger inside of her had grown more than ever before.

She couldn't stop herself. She wanted more of this! She wanted this to go on and on and on all night long. No resting, no stopping! She would personally wring the dicks of the two dry and then some! A feral look was on her face as she let her thoughts get away from her, aggressively manhandling Peri's fat tits as she bounced on that shaft.

Unlike Beruka, Peri was quick to thrust back. Not because she consciously chose to do so, with even her getting overwhelmed, but because that was what her instincts were telling her to do. Fast, aggressive thrusts to match the pace Corrin was setting. The two of them frantically trying to outfuck the other over and over, trying to last longer than the other could.

Peri, surprisingly, would last far longer than Beruka did in terms of cumming. A solid ten or fifteen minutes, neither of them were keeping track really, before she finally unleashed a load inside of Corrin, tensing up as she added her load of cum to the seed poured in there not too long ago by Beruka. Peri, much like Beruka, could barely see or think straight as she fell onto the ground and out of Corrin's pussy, the dragon looking down at the two flustered futas.

"Round two!" she declared, grabbing Beruka by the wrist and forcing the woman onto her feet. Then, from there, Corrin quickly dropped to all fours, shaking her rear at the dazed assassin, still trying to recover from her first orgasm. "Come on! Or I'll tell Camilla you fucked me!" and that was sure to make Camilla a bit upset. Beruka, of course, was rather quick to thrust herself back inside, even knowing the consequences of that cumwringing cunt.

Instantly her toes curled and a moan left her, but she thrust regardless. She thrust as if her life depended on it, and Corrin cooed at the sensation of being fucked in this position. Why had no one ever told her that sex felt this amazing!? Of course, her heat was probably helping to make it feel better than it usually would but still!

Corrin's tongue would loll out of her mouth as she thrust back against the dick, fat cheeks bouncing as Beruka thrust into her again. The assassin even found the energy to begin raining smacks down on the dragon's rear! Corrin howling with delight as it happened. At this point none of them really cared about being heard, that ship had long since sailed, so Corrin didn't restrain herself.

She could barely hold herself upright with her hands as Beruka fucked her senseless, the assassin guided by pure instinct and breeding power more than anything else. It seemed that she, too, was now eager to fuck Corrin, if only to avoid the ire of Camilla…or Corrin herself, for that matter.

Beruka came yet again, groaning as her second orgasm of the night hit her. Load after load pumped into Corrin yet again as she clenched onto those fat ass cheeks, those being the only things keeping her up on her knees at the moment. Of course, she was quick to fall over once the last of her cum was inside, all energy leaving her body…at least, for the moment. Corrin, for her part, turned and eyed Beruka for a moment or two.

Then, she shrugged, getting onto all fours again. With a mere gesture, Peri came over, and replaced Beruka right away. Not that she was confident in lasting long either, but Corrin wouldn't be stopped now. She was insatiable, more than ever before, and Peri learned that, the grip Corrin's cunt had on her cock tighter than ever.

All that could be heard were the moans of the two as Corrin got railed yet again, minutes passing by swiftly. But this time a mere fuck wasn't enough for Corrin, not at all. She didn't care how much it drained the two of them, she was going to be utterly satisfied by the time the night was over. That was why she crawled forward, just enough, with Peri still in her.

Confused, Peri was still eager to follow. That was how Corrin got before the near delirious Beruka…and how she popped Beruka's dick into her mouth, eagerly facefucking herself as Beruka groaned weakly.

Time passed even faster now that she was being double teamed. Or rather, now that she was double teaming them, the pair barely able to satiate her even like this, with her plugged from both ends. But the sight of her swaying tits, her bouncing ass, the feeling of her lips and cunt. It was enough to make them unable to stop thrusting inside of her, to not think of the fact that near everybody in the camp was hearing them go at it repeatedly.

It didn't help that Corrin was rather loud when it came to moaning, even with her mouth stuffed full of dick. Dick she couldn't get enough of, if the fact that she was near choking herself on it for almost a minute at a time was any indication.

It wasn't just one load, or two, or three. Many, many loads would be pumped into and onto Corrin as the night went by. Time became meaningless for the trio of horny ladies, with Corrin often getting sandwiched by them, poking and prodding them to keep going. Whether that was with the swaying of her hips and fat ass, or the way she eagerly licked at their dicks, they couldn't find it in themselves to stop giving Corrin exactly what she wanted, what she could take. And just as Corrin feared, even with the two of them helping her, they couldn't last against her stamina.

No surprise there, she was a dragon, or at least adjacent to dragons. So of course they didn't last. But even when they fell into unconsciousness from the countless orgasms, Corrin didn't let them rest. Their bodies, anyway. She was eager to keep riding the pair long into the night, swapping from one to the other after every orgasm. Until finally, eventually, she herself passed out on top of them, cum surrounding all three.

One might expect that things might be different in the morning. That Corrin would deny what happened, or that Peri and Beruka might. Or that the morning might even start off as normal, somehow, with all this being swept under the rug. But no, for the two would be in for quite the shock when they woke up, relatively early at that too, before anyone else was awake. After all, it had only been a few hours since they passed out and yet what did they find when they awoke at nearly the same time?

Their bodies close to one another…close enough for Corrin to be able to swap from facefucking herself on one cock to doing so on the other in mere seconds. With her heat cycle going wild, she was still horny, still eager to keep going.

They did not deny her, they could not. Their fear of her being upset if they did was too strong. That…and the fact that their dicks were rock hard, throbbing with need as Corrin sloppily, eagerly slurped and licked at them. Taking one into her mouth, sucking eagerly, before moving onto the next. And whenever she wasn't attending to one with her mouth, she made sure to keep giving it attention with her hands, instead.

Laying there, on her stomach, greedily taking their dicks down her throat, she looked like a cum hungry slut. And felt like one, too! But she didn't care about that, not at all. She only cared about getting cum. More and more and more cum, as much as the other two could possibly give to her.

And they gave her plenty! How could they not, with such an eager display? Beruka was the one to cum first, groaning as she tossed her head back. Thick loads of cum spurting all over Corrin's face, who was still eagerly sucking Peri off. The assassin seeing stars, not even able to shoot out too much cum before she stopped. Probably thanks to all the seed that had been wringed out of her last night by the hungry dragon. And Peri?

She wasn't too far behind Beruka, cumming only just a minute or two after she had. And just like Beruka, she tossed her head back, this time flooding Corrin's mouth. Though, she got it worse, the dragon's throat and mouth clamping down on her cock, keeping it trapped as it throbbed. As it unleashed the last of Peri's seed. Then, Corrin finally pulled her head away, leaving the two women to flop backwards.

Silence reigned, at least for a couple of moments, as all of them finally began to calm down from what had just happened, what they had went through. A million thoughts racing through their minds…or at least, Peri and Beruka's minds. Corrin didn't seem too bothered, letting out a yawn, and then a content giggle as she glanced around. It didn't take her long to find a towel to wash herself off with; presumably, one of these two had been planning to use it at some point during the night for a bath, but that had never transpired.

Several moments later, her face was clean and presentable…though the scent of sex still hung heavy in the air. "That was amazing, you two!" she chirped, getting only weak groans of agreement from the pair.

With the two of them briefly indisposed, Corrin took the opportunity to stand up and stretch, letting out a content sigh, that is before she took a step and stumbled for a moment. A few blinks and some focus later, though, she turned around to face them, glancing between the two faces peering back at her, clearly tired.

"Aaaaand if I ever need help with this little issue in the future, you'll help me, right? We wouldn't want the entire camp to be jumped by me! Plus…I know you both loved it!" and with that declaration, she stepped close to plant a kiss, on both of their cheeks, before heading back to her own tent.

Peri and Beruka were not awake for much longer, only long enough to adjust their clothes before falling asleep where they were…away from their tents, with their surroundings still coated with cum. They would have a LOT of explaining to do once they awoke. As for Corrin, however? She would be fast asleep too, but not be in trouble as much. After all, there was not a hint of what had happened on her end, leaving her free to continue her escapades another night~

2022 Author’s Notes

A yearly-sum-up of my personal thoughts for my written works in 2022 (ones with chapters updates count too), my own personal tradition. All of the fic I listed can be found on my AO3.

JANUARY Red Courage - a FE3H Claude/Edelgard AU fic My 2021 Nagamas gift fic, basically grabbing all the ideas I had for this ship pre-release but then had abandoned after playing the game (and seeing how non-interactive the lords are towards each other). These two getting married would be quite the political power couple, but I admit within this fic I also was explore a no-TWSitD AU focused on how 3H’s plot could’ve happened anyway, with just human greed...and well, Adrestia’s gross patriarchy. I’m rather pleased with the result and even and am casually working on a sidequel that follows what Dimitri and Dedue’s time in Alymra was like.

FEBRUARY

Human, Weapon - a FE14 Beruka backstory fic Written for the Les Revanants horror zine, one of my first outright horror attempts, Beruka’s past provided some good fodder to explore. I feel like FE has a lot of solid examples of disquieting ex-child-soldiers, usually children forced to act as assassins, ect, and it obviously having lost lasting negative impacts of their personal growth and expressiveness. Beruka is one, though her backstory is only hinted at in supports- we know she killed the master who’d trained her.

APRIL Chains We Forge - a FE14 post-Conquest bad end AU The hostage fic I wrote inspired by @flutterbatwrites‘ Bad End AU for Conquest in particular. The too long awaited update, wherein dad-tyrant!Xander makes his appearance. I had a LOT of fun depicting all the fankid princes and how they might get make mischief. Still a last update to make, I promise I will and hopefully soon-ish.

MAY Enlèvement - a FE3H Dimitri/Annette fic Ship fic cowritten with @mrmissmrsrandom, this verse spun out of Fleckerl‘s continuity and we’ve got a whole bunch of ideas. This one’s mostly cutesy speculation on how Dimitri and the Annette’s crushes on each other might’ve gone.

Kitchen Box Step - a FE3H Dedue/Mercedes fic Cowritten with @mrmissmrsrandom with more speculation on post-war politics within a Dimitri ruled Faerghus- but this time with fankids! And not just Duecedes kiddos, but also some royal bastards left behind by Rufus (in our party-prince headcanon, cooked up before Hopes shattered these dreams). All the characters we’ll be feature more of in this verse, which is just very fun to sandbox in.

JUNE Hunger Pangs - a FE16 ABO childhood fic Prequel to Sense of Taste, where it’s mostly the Faerghus four being cute kids and sfw. I’ve notice the trope very rarely ever deals with questions of like, what it’s like pre-puberty with all that presentation weirdness. And then I’m once again wasting Faerghus headcanons by sticking it somewhere no one will read them. I think there’ll only be 3 more chapters, though I have more ideas for the verse- like Dedue’s claiming and a SoT sequel.

NOVEMBER Course de Danse - a FE3H Dimitri/Annette academy fic All our academy-set ideas for this ship, this collection will be pretty solidly G rated as a rule...aside from maybe an off-color joke or insinuation or two. As much as I don’t personally like Byleth-as-teacher or school as an FE game focus, it is fun imagining all the Fodlan kids interacting as students. Also co-authored with @mrmissmrsrandom

DECEMBER

Quartet’s Common Time - a FE3H Annie/Mercie/Dedue/Dimitri fic

This is the big polyam smutfic, with a very small nod to Faerghus politics. The first couple chapters will have more f/f and m/m action, but there will be a sweaty pile on. I suppose for any interested, look forward to when @mrmissmrsrandom and I post more next year!

Ongoing IRL stuff from last year INTENSIFIED this year, which REALLY threw off personal project free time. But with @mrmissmrsrandom‘s cooperation, we got a lot of fic we’d had on the shelf posted. Although with Engage right around the bend, don’t think we’ll get all out FE3H ideas up before that next FE entry is out. Silver lining, maybe the Fodlan fandom can chill out :v

Entry 97: Easily Explaining A Better Plan

Revelation Chapter 8: Traitor's Brand

The gang arrives at Fort Jinya. Yukimura comes out and calls Corrin and Azura traitors. Side note, Yukimura is one of only two units not recruitable in Revelation. Corrin begs Yukimura to listen to their claims that Nohr isn’t the bad guy and he tells them to fuck off. Yukimura reveals that Takumio has been captured and Ryoma is missing.

This battle reuses the map from Chapter 7 of Birthright, except with our units approaching from the south instead of defending from within. Corrin fights against Yukimura, Saizo, and Orochi, sparing each of them. Corrin asks for help in ending the violence, but no one listens. Saizo tries to suicide bomb, which is a bit of an overreaction. Kaze and Sakura show up and tell him to knock it off.

Corrin finally gets a chance to talk and says that the murder of Mikoto and the invasion of Hoshido weren’t caused by Garon. Except, they were. He was working for Anankos, but he absolutely was responsible. Corrin sucks at explaining things. Saizo says Corrin has an overactive imagination, which isn’t helped by Corrin being unable to explain anything.

Corrin is not some manipulative, intelligent Game of Thrones character. If they were, they would have went to Hoshido, told them that Azura remembers another man manipulating Garon from the shadows, and asked for help in ending the Nohrian invasion by taking out the true leader of Nohr. Then, they could have taken their new troops to Valla via the lake portal. Next, they could have invited Xander to a peace talk and shown him the truth with the crystal ball. Xander would have no problem grabbing a few squads of Nohrian troops for the invasion, allowing for the gang to invade Valla and kill Anankos. But no we have to watch Corrin be an idiot and characters randomly trust them for half of the game.

Sakura and Kaze decide to join. Corrin tells Sakura that it sucks they can’t explain things to her, in front of the lake which is a portal to Valla. Fucking ridiculous. Also Subaki and Hana show up. And I grabbed Mozu between chapters.

Support: Beruka/Xander

C: Beruka warns Xander that he is in danger.

B: Xander realizes that Beruka has been hired to kill him. He tells her to try it, knowing that he has weapon triangle advantage.

A: Beruka kills her employer out of loyalty to Camilla. Beruka resigns from the army, but Xander demands she stay, saying that he shouldn't banish people for thinking about dishonorable actions. And I mean, compassion is great, but Beruka is still an assassin. She has done dishonorable things.

S: Beruka avoids Xander out of guilt. This upsets him, because he's in love with her. Beruka says she isn't fit to be queen but Xander says Nohr needs a queen familiar with the dark. Beruka asks if Xander would kill her if he had to to save Nohr. Xander says yes, but it would haunt him til his dying day. Beruka accepts, not wanting to come between Xander and his kingdom.

Review: An excellent Support, with Xander being a badass and a good leader.

Support: Leo/Peri

C: Peri invites Leo to go kill some random person with her. Leo is horrified and stops her.

B: Leo explains that killing is wrong. Peri is confused by this, because they kill enemy soldiers constantly. Leo struggles to argue what the difference is.

A: Leo explains that killing is always wrong, but there are circumstances where you must kill in battle to serve a higher purpose and make sure good prevails. And honestly, he'd have a point if he A: didn't constantly kill unarmed enemies so Corrin doesn't have to, and B: wasn't part of a brutal invading army driven by no motive besides conquest.

S: Leo realizes that people will try to hold Peri accountable for all the evil stuff and marries her to protect her.

Review: This is a really interesting Support, but not quite for the intended reasons. Peri, and I can't believe I'm saying this, is right in this Support. She's right that there is little difference between her killing for fun and the actions of the Nohrian army, especially those of men like Hans and Iago. This Support fails by not having Leo acknowledge his own shortcomings. In many ways, Leo is just as cruel and evil as Peri. They both kill constantly. The only difference is that Peri likes it. But, at the end of the day, what solace does Leo's guilt give to his victims?

Support: Charlotte/Odin

C: Odin immediately sees through Charlotte's bullshit and assumes she's evil, stating "your villainous 'tees' and nefarious 'hees' have no effect on me!"

B: Charlotte explains she lies to make men like her. Odin relates to this desire and tells Charlotte she's doing it wrong. Odin gives Charlotte advice on how to act like Odin.

A: Charlotte acts like Odin. Other people think she's weird. Odin is amazed.

S: Odin falls in love with Charlotte because she acts like him. Charlotte punches him to make sure he'll still love her.

Review: A pretty good Support. Seeing Charlotte do Odin's weirdness is fun, as is Odin being completely oblivious to the fact that people don't like his act.

Support: Effie/Keaton

C: Effie works out by carrying around a tree trunk. She assumes Keaton can carry it and tosses it at him to catch. He almost dies.

B: Keaton and Effie go hunting. After a rabbit runs under a tree, Effie offers to rip the tree out of the ground. Keaton instead suggests they lie in wait.

A: Effie bench presses two trees at once. Keaton gives Effie homemade jerky.\

S: Keaton proposes. Effie says yes and promises to protect him, because she is clearly far stronger.

Review: Why is Effie being stronk so amusing? Maybe it's because the rest of the cast are mostly human in capabilities. Whatever. This one was good.

Age Swap AU Pairings

A list of who gets together and my opinions/reasons for these pairings.

This will be specifically for a Revelations Route, so if you wanna ship different combinations of characters in this AU, I won’t stop you.

I also won’t be getting into the Child Units (yet.) With all of that in mind, here’s the ASAU Pairings:

Corrin X Azura. I mean… it’s Corrin and Azura. How can I not? Especially since they’re not altered in this AU, but their kids are. Imagine big sibling Kana little brother Shigure dynamic.

Sakura X Hana. I’m as much of a sucker for Sakulise as the next FE14 fan, but honestly the bond these two have and have had for easily a decade at this point just overrides the softness of Adult Sakulise. Shiro is their son with Ryoma serving as a surrogate father.

Elise X Effie. Same as with Sakura and Hana, Elise and Effie’s bond in this universe (realm?) is just too strong for me not to pair them together. Siegbert is their son with Xander serving as a surrogate father.

Takumi X Oboro. This is a cute pairing, what can I say? Can you tell I’m a sucker for Liege X Lord pairings? Also, just imagine cute and sweet Kiragi making his mom’s Demon Face.

Leo X Niles. I don’t even know how to put my feelings on this pair into words, so I’ll just trust y’all to accept it. Forrest is their son with Beruka serving as a surrogate mother.

Hinoka X Hinata. This pairing is unique since it’s the only time I don’t ship a lord with their non swapped retainer (or another lord) but honestly I just like the himbo samurai/tomboy princess dynamic. Also protective older cousin Hisame is interesting.

Camilla X Beruka. Cute but strong Malig and her scary Assassin waifu? What’s not to love? Also Niles served as a surrogate father so they raise Nina together.

Ryoma X Xander. I decided to pair these two together since I figured I should do at least one pairing between a Hoshido and Nohrian royal. Since they couldn’t have kids with each other, they agreed to be surrogates so their oldest sisters could have kids, allowing Shiro and Siegbert to exist in this world.

Jakob X Charlotte. A very… very chaotic duo. This was simply a duo born from the fact that they were kinda just leftover after I paired off most of the other characters. Add super strength to Dwyer’s mountain of secret skills.

Silas X Felicia. One: they’re cute. Two: imagining Sophie inheriting Felicia’s clumsiness and ice magic is equally hilarious and terrifying.

Kaze X Orochi. Stoic ninja who struggles with feeling like he failed his liege due to something out of his control plus merry diviner who struggled with feeling like she failed her liege due to something out of her control equals both fun shenanigans and absolute angst. Also imagining Midori being able to somehow use a combination of Divining and her Medicine could make her a force of nature in her own way.

Saizo X Kagero. What can I say, I’m a sucker for this duo too. I’m sure they could be happy together once Saizo learns to stop having the personality of a cactus. Plus having two Ninja parents probably makes Asugi a super ninja.

Laslow X Selena X Odin. If I was gonna have Corrin get with Azura, an OT3 would be needed so all the kids would be capable of existing and I’m just a sucker for this trio. I’ll be using Henry!Laslow, Robin!Selena, and Lon’qu!Odin. Soleil inherits the Fell brand, Ophelia inherits the Exalts’s brand, and they get to be awesome redhead step sisters. Sorry to anyone who ships these two.

Azama X Subaki: …ok, look, so far I’ve done three wlw and only two mlm pairings. Two more guys were gonna have to get together. And after I saw these two, reread their supports, then read @unassumingvenusaur’s fanmade S Support for them, I wound up enjoying this pairing immensely. Also for the sake of not having to do anymore surrogates because this is getting complicated: Transmac Subaki (which I feel could not only make his backstory more interesting given the implications of how terrible his parents are) allowing for them to have a brown haired Caeldori and a red haired Mitama who are sisters.

Arthur X Setsuna. Apparently luck works like integers because when you combine an unlucky Fighter with an equally unlucky Archer, you get a doubly lucky Wyvern riding super hero. Also imagining dorks like Arthur and Setsuna together is just adorable tbh.

Kaden X Peri. When I don’t pair Peri (heh) with Laslow, I usually pair her with one of the furries so I can create an absolutely terrifying Kitsune/Wolfskin. In this case I decided that Peri would be Selkie’s mother and the rest of the army gets to suffer then consequences.

Hayato X Mozu. One: this is basically genderswapped Cyril/Lysithea and Donnel/Maribelle which already makes it a win. Two: Rhajat with Mozu’s hair and freckles is a hilariously adorable image.

Benny X Rinkah. Gentle giant meats muscular spitfire to create flaming good boy.

Keaton X Nyx. Yes, let’s pair the most mature woman in the army who considers herself a monster with one of the most immature guys in the army who can turn into a monster.

Feel free to share your opinions on the pairs, I’ll probably talk more about the child units in the future.

AU where Leo and Camilla completely run away and live their lives as commoners. They are a genuine husband and wife, with so many children. In an era without photographs, most of the nobility wanting nothing to do with the commoners, and really opportunists ready to pounce an empty seat, its more than just possible.

yeah!! I think in birthright Leo has enough sense of duty that he wouldn’t do this. Nohr is already really crumbling and him running away would make that so much worse. He would REALLY want to, though. For Camilla, but also because he now has everything his mother wanted for him. Except, he hated his mother. And the circumstances of him ascending the throne… are awful. He’d fantasise about this, but callous as he is, he does have a good heart. He knows his departure would mean chaos and possibly more conflict, and he refuses to subject his people to any more of that.

(Side note—I find it beautifully ironic that SO much violence happened in their childhoods over that throne. but in birthright… it’s just tossed around between people who don’t want it at all.)

In the other routes though… yeah!! They might find ways to visit their other siblings sometimes, especially Elise whom we know loves dressing up as a commoner. Occasionally she’d bring Xander and Corrin to visit too.

I imagine it would actually be so healing for Leo to let go of his titles, let go of everything that’s ever been expected of him by his mother or anyone else. He’d be able to get over his inferiority complex toward Xander, because it doesn’t matter now. And most importantly: he’s happy. he’s with the woman he loves, and the odds of people finding out the truth are so low.

Would they have jobs? I am imagining them living in a city or town as opposed to a rural village or farm. Maybe Leo becomes a bookseller. I could see Camilla working at a bar or something, and Leo hates it—he knows all the men are staring at her. But she loves the attention, and she especially loves teasing him about it—reminding him not to worry because she is all his.

I could see Beruka and Niles living nearby, too. Not as retainers or servants, but still to keep an eye on them. As friends. Especially at first, they would struggle to befriend their neighbours I think, and their former retainers would be MORE than willing to keep them company. Selena and Odin, if they stuck around in fatesland for a while, would also probably live nearby—or if they stayed in the castle with Laslow, they’d at least visit from time to time.

Ship bias Hapi and Beruka please!

✶ @blairscorned › send ❛ ship bias ❜ & i will share up to 5 ships i have a bias for for my muse!

somehow, this ask made me think hapi/beruka could be a thing if beruka was in fe3h… （´・｀）♡

◦ hapi ›

01.) hubert — similar to yuri, i also shipped hapi with hubert before i even shipped her with any of the ashen wolves, like a day after the cindered shadows dlc dropped. i think hapi finds his spookiness dumb in a charming kind of way, and i felt from the get-go like he’d be obsessed with trying to help her either get rid of the sighing spell or use it to her advantage. three hopes expanded on him wanting her to sigh more in combat because he thought it’s what she wanted, and he respected her decision not to, like the gentleman he is. also, coffee parties.

02.) yuri — i mentioned it in another ask about yuri’s ships, but their dynamic felt the most natural among the ashen wolves for me. a true friends-to-lovers dynamic that really clicked well and was satisfying.

03.) constance — they’re so stupid funny together, i love how they’re just always thinking of each other and hanging out in their free time. ugh, and the way coco just stands up for hapi to other nobles! it’s swoon-worthy, it’s beautiful, and obviously hapi would ruin anyone’s day if they messed with her coco. i do think they’d be prone to petty arguments, but that’s kind of fun, since they sound more like an old, bickering couple.

04.) hilda — i have no idea where this one came from, but i always liked the idea of the both of them immediately being interested in one another after balthus introduces them. the banter would be cute, and hilda fawning over dressing up hapi in pretty outfits is a super adorable thought.

05.) marianne — she believes she’s cursed, hapi actually is cursed, and it’s related to demonic beasts. there’s something soft and cathartic, and maybe a little tragic about the two of them together.

◦ beruka ›

01.) camilla — words cannot express how much i love these two together. the fact that beruka was assigned to kill camilla, but failed her mission simply because camilla asked her to work for her instead… shut up, it’s love! as asocial as beruka is, she does genuinely come to love and respect camilla, and it’s evident camilla feels the same, regardless of if those feelings are familial, platonic, or romantic.

02.) oboro — it’s hard to get the full extent of how tragic their connection is in their supports, but i imagine it must’ve taken so much more resolve for oboro to forgive beruka after her parents assassination, and for the two of them to build up an actual trusting friendship that could lead to something more. slowburn at its core, i love it.

03.) laslow — beruka? falling for laslow’s skirt-chasing shenanigans? still not very likely, but them slowly falling for each other while beruka was stalking someone and laslow interrupted each attempt with date suggestions is golden. top tier romantic-comedy material. i’d watch it if it was a movie, and i usually don’t like rom-coms!

04.) niles — he’s a fucking slime ball, but i do think he actually cared about beruka, and vice versa. they’d make each other worse instead of better, both intentionally and unintentionally, but it really just works so well.

05.) peri — another example of a duo who make each other worse instead of better, but somehow, i think their childhood traumas would bring them close. and i love the contrast of how stoic beruka is versus peri just being batshit insane. they’d be the most adorable pair of girlfriends.

For Fire Emblem Heroes, can I request Camilla, Peri, and Beruka finding out their shy and cute S/O is really dominant in sex?

Reader is gender neutral

CW (CONTENT WARNING): Sexual scenes, blood tw

| Camilla |

- She thought you were a cute little thing with you being so shy with her advances. You were just so cute that she can’t help but just push you into her chest and revel at your flushed face.

- However, when you and her had a moment to yourselves in the bedroom, she was pleasantly surprised to see you pinning her on the bed with your legs as you purred that she had teased you for far too long.

- It was a surprise, no doubt, to have Camilla be bottom and not dictate the course but she decides to relent since you were the first to catch her off-guard like that. It’s an achievement of it’s own and you should be proud of yourself.

- Thinks you having two sides that are on the same coin is something she giggles to. It’s just seeing you, stumbling over your words when you were introduced to someone new, is also the same you who rendered her speechless by amazing oral sex.

| Peri |

- She just wants to eat you up on how cute you are! She hasn’t met anyone so akin to a little blueberry… And she thought she was the blue one in this relationship! Despite being covered in the red of her enemies (and you having to cover your eyes from the violent scene).

- When she was talking your ear off about the best ways to murder somebody, you grabbed her by the collar and dragged her to the nearest storage closet and growled that she needs to be quiet. And thus started to blow her mind by pumping your fingers in and out of her.

- If you thought she was finally rendered speechless because of your act, you were dead wrong. In fact, she’s even more chattier than usual because she never expects you to reduce her to a blabbering mess. It’s an incredible feat, one that she’s very eager to tell everyone.

- When she sees you stuttering and being your shy self, she just butts into the conversation and sings to the person about all the scandalous things you two have done. It’s a 50/50 chance that you run away from the conversation or punish her in your bedroom.

| Beruka |

- You two are on the same boat, being shy and all. Well, more or less Beruka doesn’t like talking to anyone that isn’t you or Camilla and you were just naturally shy.

- Beruka is a trained assassin but even Wyvern Riders have weaknesses, specifically against arrows. When she fell from her Wyvern and had to heal in the infirmary, you smashed your lips against hers when she woke up and growled that she is staying by your side for a long time.

- She can’t even talk to you now because her mind keeps replaying to when you made her a moaning mess. It was a good awkward moment and the only time she actually talked to you was a hand on your shoulder and a weak “Hey.”

- She is both flabbergasted and frustrated when she sees you stuttering when discussing battle strategies. It just doesn’t make any sense to her that you made her blush while you’re the one who’s blushing when people stare at you for too long.

"Emké." His voice is brash, his arrival impetuous, striding towards her with the same single-minded determination he displays on the battlefield. That can mean only one thing. Unhooking a sword from his belt, Felix offers it to her, sheath and all. His expression is unchanged. "I just got this. Can you look it over? The weight on it is all wrong."

She looks up without hesitation, unfazed as ever by the swordsman’s stormy tone and carriage. Felix is a connoisseur when it comes to arms– a fact she values far more than politeness or pleasantries– so whatever it is he’s brought is no doubt more interesting than the busywork she’d had underhand. “Something the merchants brought in, I’d guess? Let’s see it then.”

They always did like to chatter about some ‘exotic steel’ they’d picked up in their travels. Most of it amounted to fancy-looking iron with the lethal capacity of your average letter opener.

This isn’t that bad, of course. Fraldarius has a better eye than almost anyone, so the blade is solid and the welding quite seamless, with handsome details and the evidence of some real craftsmanship in the finery. Nevertheless, she feels what he suggested in an instant.

“No kidding.” the sheathed blade teeters between hands before she draws it out and points it away, twisting the hilt and tipping the point high and low. Firelight from the forge catches on seams and refracts in thin trails over her face, narrowed in scrutiny. “All that work shaping mythril only to have it’s counter-weighting botched.”

A few thrusts, and a mimicked cleave, further proving how much the forte dragged downward in each motion, before her eyes return to him,

“that smacks to me of someone hollowing the pommel. not a hard fix, if you’re asking; which I’d wager you are.”

#fauxduke #♥'( did you ever see... beruka and saizo's first support in fates... )#♥'( where they literally look at each other sternly and say nothing before smiling and parting ways )#♥'( yeah that's what i'm imagining as the Felix Emké Brand™ )#♥'( small talk is for the weak )#♥'( aNYWAYS THANK YOU THIS IS PERFECT )

youre welcome!! i hope u enjoy <3 <3

My first choice for you would be Beruka! Beruka does not mind your info dumping at all. She loves to listen to you. You could talk to her all day and she would never grow bored of you. If you get frustrated when trying to find the right words to speak, she will wait patiently and offer up whatever she can think of. The fact that you believe there’s good in everyone is what drew her to you. Despite what she’s done, you always believe that she’s a good person and you have always tried to understand her. That’s what she loves most about you. The second thing she loves most about you is how affectionate you are. She gets really blushy if ur affectionate with her but she definitely loves it. She doesn’t know much about your interests but she learns quite a bit by listening to you.

My second choice for you would be Brady! Ok so you two are the most affectionate couple ever and all your friends will just find you guys cuddling on the couch crying over like a dog or something. Brady loves to have someone that just understands how he feels. …. Whenever one of you starts crying the other definitely cries too. Just like Beruka, Brady loves how you believe in people. He thought he would drive you away with how scary he looked, but you didn’t judge him at all for his looks. He’s got lots of knowledge about history art and language, so you two have extended conversations about that. Maribelle forced him to learn about it and honestly he didn’t really care at the time, but seeing how passionate you are about these topics makes him happy that she did that. And obviously Maribelle approves of you. She wants your wedding to be the most elegant thing ever. At the altar all three of you are sobbing very loudly and it’s a mess but it’s also really cute

Repurpose and Discoveries

Thanks for the support and BOTTOMLESS patience as always, @sundaychamomile! I hope you like it!

Summary: Beruka and Saizo chose to get married after the end of the war, thus beginning another chapter of Beruka's life in Hoshido. Still, she didn't like to be idle, so she wanted to resume her services as retainer, though to another master this time.

Commission info HERE and HERE!

______________________________

One day, after moving to Hoshido to live with her husband, Saizo, Beruka felt compelled to ask something that had been at the back of her mind for a while.

“Saizo, I have a question.”

“Ask.” Saizo replied dryly as usual, as he fixed his clothes to go into duty.

“If me and Lord Ryoma were in mortal danger at the same time, who would you choose to save?”

It was a question that the wife of a retainer might ask herself and wander in a spiral of negative thoughts throughout the marriage, though it was something all kunoichis and wives of ninjas knew the answer to.

Beruka, however, asked it in a business-like tone as usual, as if she had wanted to know which oil was the best to polish one’s sword.

“Lord Ryoma,” Saizo said a beat later, though he felt a twinge inside his chest. It wasn’t a question he had pondered over before, but his loyalty was too deeply ingrained into him to allow any other answer to come out. “Although I’m sure he would scold me for answering like that.”

“Good. I would save Lady Camilla first, too. Without hesitation.” She nodded matter-of-factly. “Hm,” however, she soon frowned, then took one hand to her chin in thought.

Saizo knew that look.

She was introspective.

Beruka had never been one to be in touch with her emotions, so they would usually catch up to her after a while of something happening, much like now.

“What is it?” he stepped closer to lift her chin to look up at him.

“Maybe with some hesitation,” she said in a soft voice, tilting her head to the side to test out how that felt. “With a lot of hesitation,” she tried again, this time feeling her chest lighten up as if satisfied with her answer.

“Heh,” Saizo chuckled, moving a few strands from her face so he could place a kiss on her cheek. “If you hesitate that much, neither of us would make it.”

“True,” she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his waist. “Perhaps the hesitation would come later.”

“Would the answer change later as well?” Never losing his smile, Saizo wrapped his tiny wife in a hug, enjoying her warmth.

Beruka took a few moments to think on the answer. She thought of her feelings towards Saizo, then imagined what it would be like to fail to protect him and watch his death.

It was painful.

She did it again, but this time, with Lady Camilla.

It was unbearable. She couldn’t even fathom something terrible happening to her, even though she had left her service to be with Saizo.

Yet, there was an underlying thought that made her wonder if that would continue to be true forever. Would her feelings for Saizo continue to grow with time? If they would…

“Perhaps,” she answered honestly, unaccustomed to being so introspective.

“Hm,” Saizo chuckled on her shoulder, taking in her scent before pulling away. However, Beruka kept her arms firm around his waist. “Is there something else?”

She looked up at him with a small frown between her brow. “I came to Hoshido to be with you, not as a soldier,” she stated, to which he nodded, understanding what she meant.

“Ah, yes. I’m sure Lord Ryoma will call on you for your skills in time.”

“Killing is what I do best, yes, but that can be done in an instant. I do not know how to be idle, Saizo,” she squeezed her grip on his clothes. “According to Lady Camilla, I am a competent retainer, and your queen is lacking one. Take me to Lord Ryoma so that I can ask for the position myself.”

Well, technically, Camilla would say that Beruka was ‘the best, the cutest and the most competent’ retainer in the market, but the nohrian princess was known to coddle those dear to her, so Beruka omitted the unnecessary parts.

Saizo pondered on the request for a moment, his face showing no expression. Then, a smirk sprouted on his lips. “Very well. I cannot speak for my lord, but I will vouch for you as well. Come with me.”

Beruka blinked, her cheeks slightly flushing as she felt a bubbling, not unpleasant feeling rise within her chest.

Emotions were sprouting inside of her little by little, day by day, and she was able to identify them more clearly each time they surfaced. She didn’t even need to put to words that she was feeling happy for being able to work alongside Saizo, and even more so as he took her to the King’s office hand in hand.

The request wasn’t a difficult one, especially since Ryoma had been worried that Azura was without a proper guard. Sure, the ninjas around the castle greatly served as eyes and hidden blades, but having a designated person beside her at all times would be most helpful.

Ryoma had seen Beruka’s skills during the war, and he knew how vehemently Princess Camilla vouched for her, so, truly, it wasn’t a difficult thing to do.

Of course, he also had to consider Azura’s opinion on the matter, so he told the two of them to return the next day for a concrete answer. But they were told to expect good news, which made the bubbling inside Beruka’s chest turn into a comforting sizzle.

She had never stopped training, even after coming to Hoshido. She was a blade before she was a human— no. No. She wanted to discard such trains of thought now that she was getting more in touch with her emotions. She was conscious enough that thinking of herself as a mere tool wasn’t the way to go, but there was still much ground to cover for her to properly understand the reason why.

For now, she would hone herself, as a human who was as sharp as a blade, to keep on serving until she couldn’t anymore, or until she tired of it.

At night, Saizo returned to their quarters with a bag in tow.

“If you are to become a retainer here, you’ll need to understand the way of the ninja.”

Beruka tilted her head to the side. “Is it mandatory to be a ninja to be a retainer in Hoshido? I can conceal myself just fine.”

“It’s not mandatory, no, but the very foundation of the castle was built with the way of the ninja in mind. Although I recognize your skill, you also must have noticed how you stand out in the corridors, instead of blending in as you usually did in Nohr.”

“It is true. Even though I wore boots, my steps never echoed before. In here, each movement I do makes a creaking noise, though I am learning the pattern.”

Saizo smirked, “I know you are, which is surprising. It takes people years to fully grasp the walking pattern of the castle.”

Every house, castle and mansion in Hoshido was built out of wood, as opposed to the hard stone common to nohrian settlements. That also meant that every house, castle and mansion in Hoshido had a different pattern built-in in their supporting beams and wooden floors. If one stepped on the wrong spot, the wood underneath would creak ever so slightly.

It wasn’t a loud noise in the least, but it was noticeable if one wanted to remain undetected.

Most servants and ninjas learned the patterns at a young age, so their steps would effectively render no sound as they walked. Beruka, as an outsider, hadn’t been given such lessons; so even though she was cautious enough to muffle her steps, the wood still creaked underneath her feet.

But from then on, that would change.

Saizo untied the knot on the bag to reveal a set of kunoichi clothes for Beruka.

She looked from the bag to her husband, then picked up the paper-thin fabric. “I won’t be able to fight in that. Can’t I use my armor as usual?”

“These clothes aren’t for tanking, but for mobility. Ninja strike hard and fast, from the shadows.”

“I can do as much with my armor… It never inconvenienced me in the past. I have managed to work around any clunking sound that may come from it.” She put down the clothes, frowning.

Saizo lifted them back up, “there are spots you will not be able to fit through with all that metal around you.”

“You fit around them just fine with all those muscles,” Beruka put the clothes down again.

“Hrm,” Saizo coughed, embarrassed, then lifted the clothes. “Listen to me.”

“No.”

“Why? You’re being obstinate for no reason.”

“No reason? There is a reason.” Beruka retorted, but when she opened her mouth, no words followed. “Hm,” she frowned.

“What is it?” he sighed, putting down the clothes.

“I do not know. But I don’t want to wear these.” She made a stinky nose to the clothes on the table.

“Think harder. Why?” He pressed, taking the bag and putting it in her hands.

Beruka’s frown deepened. “I…” She looked from them to her husband; his cleavage and skin-tight undershirt. She then remembered Kagero and the other female ninjas she saw strutting about. “It feels like I am taking my clothes off instead of putting something on. I do not like it.”

Saizo coughed once again, covering his face with one hand. “What? They’re just clothes.”

As he had always been around these kinds of garments, he never thought of them as anything else but uniforms. They were light and easy to move in, and although the kunoichi showed more skin than the male ninjas, it was incorporated in their training to use it all in their favor.

Thinking nothing of that, Saizo picked a kunoichi uniform that would fit his small wife and brought it to her, but now that she pointed that out…

The silence stretched and Beruka gripped the bag harder. “Alright, I’ll put them on, or take everything else off, I suppose.”

Before Saizo could reach out to stop her, Beruka went behind the changing screen.

Once she came out, he realized what she was talking about.

That was really a lot of skin she was showing.

The blush was apparent on her white skin, making the situation feel somewhat obscene. “See? I don’t feel comfortable at all.”

It felt as though she was cosplaying as a ninja rather than embracing the way of the ninja, but perhaps that wasn’t the point of it all in the first place. Beruka wasn’t a ninja, although Saizo was still going to teach her all that she needed to know about moving around the castle.

But she needn’t dress like one.

No, he didn’t want her to.

All that skin under the armor was only for Saizo’s eyes, and no one else’s. He approached her with a fire burning inside his chest, sliding his hands through her naked arms.

She flinched in response, her blush growing deeper. “What are you doing?”

“You were right. You should not wear this for duty.” He lowered his head to kiss her cheeks, then trail down his lips to her neck.

She let out a short sigh, tilting her neck to give him more room. “So, I will wear my armor.”

“No,” he licked her skin, pulling her closer. “There are other uniforms you can try on. Later.”

Biting her lower lip, Beruka nodded. “Later.”

The next day, as expected, Azura accepted having Beruka as a retainer, even though they haven’t interacted much before, during or after the war. Regardless, Beruka was known to be loyal and her skills were acknowledged by everyone around, so there was truly no need to refuse.

Thankful to be able to put her blade to use once again, Beruka started as Azura’s retainer right away. Or perhaps it should be said that she ‘returned’ to the duties of a retainer, but this time for another master in another castle.

Of course, she was wearing her armor for the first few days.

During the nights, Saizo would walk her through the castle’s patterns, though both of them remained unseen as they trained. In the morning, before duty, Saizo took Beruka to Oboro so the seamstress could repurpose a Spear Master outfit to serve as Beruka’s new uniform in Hoshido.

Heavy armor was great for tanking, but she could risk breaking an old support beam if they threaded towards unmaintained parts of the castle during their training.

“So, you’ve finally appeared, huh?” Oboro welcomed the two with a tinge of sarcasm in her voice.

Beruka smiled softly, somehow glad that Oboro was acting normally even after everything that went through between the two of them.

Of course, Oboro was still rough around the edges and probably would never truly forgive or accept Beruka — or most nohrians in general. However, she acted as usual and took the job given to her seriously; one time she even grinned!

Thus, Beruka was glad about such development. Although she had moved to Hoshido to be with Saizo, that didn’t erase her nohrian past, nor the bloody path she had walked on in another life.

Beruka’s mentor killed Oboro’s parents and died by Beruka’s hands at a later date, leaving Oboro with unresolved feelings towards Nohr and the murder of her family.

Still, to think that they would not only fight alongside each other during the war to even work together under the same roof without animosity was nothing short of a miracle. Beruka let Oboro touch her body while taking measurements and Oboro didn’t flinch (though she rolled her eyes) at the amount of hidden weapons Beruka had stashed all around her armor. Progress!

However, the reason why the uniform was taking longer than expected was due to Beruka’s own stubbornness. She wanted to stash just as many weapons while wearing lighter clothing.

Sure, Saizo had many stashed kunais around his body, but it couldn’t compare to the amount of knives, needles and iron threads Beruka had hidden under her armor. She even had a flexible, but brittle, sword inside her belt! It was as unbelievable as it was impressive.

“I’m telling you, I can’t make that many pockets without sacrificing style! You’re gonna look like a clunking bag if I do it the way you want.” Oboro threw her hands up, pointing at the corrections Beruka wrote on top of her sketch.

“Style? Is it fashionable to be susceptible to attacks?” Beruka retorted without hesitation.

Oboro groaned. “Ugh, you don’t get it, do you?! You’re not like Saizo or Kagero that follow Lord Ryoma through the shadows. You’re gonna be beside Lady Azura! You’ll practically be her face wherever she goes! You can’t look shabby.”

“I don’t need to stand out. I need, however, to have a knife right at this spot,” she tapped with her forefinger on her note.

“Grrr!” Oboro felt like pulling her hair out. “Saizo, do something about this! I can’t talk with this wall.” She turned to the silent ninja by the door.

“She’s right, though.” He said simply, making Oboro bang her head and both hands on the table in frustration.

“I should’ve expected this. No, why did I ask SAIZO of all people for help here, who am I kidding,” she groaned, rolling her forehead on the table. Suddenly, she raised her face (and both Saizo and Beruka ignored the big, round red spot on her forehead) as her eyes flared. “Alright, you’re on. I’m gonna make it with so many pockets you’re gonna run out of weapons to stash it in. AND it’s gonna look fabulous, too! Watch me! Watch me!!” She pumped herself up, at some point looking up to heaven or something, ignoring both bystanders.

Saizo and Beruka exchanged glances and smiled, shaking their heads as they left a fired-up Oboro behind.

Since Beruka was already a master in her own right as an assassin, Saizo’s job in teaching her the patterns was an easy one. She was already halfway through mastering the floorboards without any guidance, so once he started telling her where to step, she progressed quickly. Soon, they were sneaking around the ceilings and behind secret doors.

As Beruka was retainer to the Queen herself, there was very little information that should be kept from her. Still, top secret routes only privy to the King and his retainers were kept out of the lessons for obvious reasons, but neither she nor Saizo mentioned them as both of them were aware of such minor details.

He was keeping the old parts of the castle for last while Beruka’s uniform wasn’t yet ready, mostly because the construction during the earlier years of Hoshido had very narrow passageways so they would need to squeeze in there together, which was impractical with her armor.

Beruka did not notice it herself, but she had been smiling more often lately. She seemed content to be able to put herself to use — and not only that, she seemed comfortable between the people there. She bickered with Oboro and talked about her feelings with Saizo; she listened to Azura’s singing and was even asked if her and Saizo’s child would be a playmate of the eventual first prince or princess.

Everything was so different while she still did basically the same things, so it felt somehow magical to Beruka. Saizo didn’t tell her about her smiles, though, for fear that she would try to manage her facial expressions and deprive him of the blooms in her face.

Once the uniform was ready — over Oboro’s dead body, it seemed — Beruka tried it on immediately. It was as light as the kunoichi uniform Saizo had made her wear before, with the added effect of actually serving as clothing and covering her body. There was light armor on the chest and legs, but since it was made of leather, it wouldn’t get in the way of any sneaking she’d eventually do, so, all in all, it was a masterpiece.

Oboro almost cried tears of blood to make it the unreasonable way Beruka wanted it — and was thoroughly vexed to receive only a small smile and a ‘thank you’ nod for all of her troubles, but ended up throwing her hands up in frustration and laughed it off at the end of the day.

‘What did I expect, anyway,’ she had said with a puff, making Beruka giggle for the first time in her life. It was such a novel experience she snapped her neck to Saizo immediately, as if wanting him to witness a new emotion that sprouted out of her.

Saizo smiled under his mask and took his small wife out of the sewing room towards their own so she could change.

Once she did, they exchanged serious nods and went to train right away.

Now, she was much lighter than he was, especially because he had ‘all those muscles’ as she had pointed out before. Well, ‘all those muscles’ did kind of get in the way once they entered the narrower passageways hidden beneath the ceiling.

At one point, Beruka tried to push him in vain. “I can’t breathe like this, you’re occupying too much space.”

Clearing his throat in embarrassment, Saizo turned his head away. “And you wanted to enter with your armor on. Clearly this was the best strategy.”

“I won’t deny that my armor would’ve been in the way here, but so are you,” she huffed, her breath tickling Saizo’s collarbone. “Isn’t this supposed to be a one-man path? Why are we here together?”

Truth to be told, Beruka was right. It would be enough for Saizo to show her the way and guide her through it by either entering before or after her, but for some reason they ended up crawling in there together, entangling their bodies in a way that they’ve never done before, not even during hot nights.

Saizo had no excuse, so he said nothing.

Frowning, Beruka raised her chin to meet Saizo’s eye. “Hey, look at me. Don’t look away.”

There weren’t many places to look away at, by the way. Saizo just tried to look ‘opposite of Beruka’, though even that was turning out to be impossible as she was so up and personal his whole field of vision was filled with her.

Instead of talking, he tightened the grip he had on her waist, bringing her even closer. Their body heat was already warming up the space around them, making them both sweat and pant.

“...!” Beruka felt Saizo’s tense muscles under her and finally caught on to the reason why he seemed so quiet. Was he embarrassed? Was his body… reacting to hers?

She tried to look down to his pants, but since her head was very much dug into his chest, it seemed like she was rubbing herself against him, making Saizo flinch.

“So that’s what this is about…” she murmured, moving one leg in the middle of both of his.

“D-don’t move like that,” he groaned, unsure of if he should push her away or hug her even closer.

Maybe… just maybe… Maybe Saizo was more into Beruka wearing hoshidan clothing than either of them ever thought.
