-🦋

It's Like Looking Into a Mirror

Author’s note: Hello Butterfly anon! I took some liberties with the idea of “reflections” and instead turned it into look-alikes created by Annette’s magic! I hope you all enjoy Day 9 of Tickletober: Mirrors! (From Miya and Mia’s Tickletober list!)

Series: Fire Emblem Three Houses

Characters: Sylvain, Ashe, and Annette

Word count: 813

Summary: Annette has some new magic to show Sylvain and Ashe, but this magic is intended to be used for the fall-themed festival, so there might be a trick up her sleeve as she shows it off.

—

The academy’s spooky harvest festival is just around the corner, so everyone is busy making preparations for the event. Outside in the academy’s marketplace, Sylvain and Ashe work together to decorate wooden booths and stations with autumn themed materials.

“Hey you two!”

The boys look in the direction of the feminine voice calling in their direction. They see their fellow Blue Lion’s student, Annette, running towards them with a wave of her hand. In her other hand is a magic tome. She stops running and has a twinkle in her eyes. “There’s something I want to show you both!”

“You seem pretty excited,” Sylvain observes.

“What is it?” Ashe asks with a curious inflection.

“Watch this!” Annette lifts up the tome and waves her hand above it. Purple, sparkling magic swirls around her fingers until it shoots forward on the ground in front of her in two separate beams. From the ground up, the purple magic begins creating an image of a person with legs and an academy uniform, but the real surprise is when Ashe and Sylvain see the faces of these conjured up figures. They share their exact likeness, with their same hair, facial features, and all.

“Ta-da!” Annette cheers.

“Whoa!” Sylvain exclaims as he looks at the magic form of himself. “Handsome fella. It’s like looking into a mirror.”

“Two mirrors,” Ashe jokes in response. “This is wonderful Annette!”

“Thanks!” Annette smiles. “I thought the magic would be useful for fun entertainment at the harvest festival.” The orange-haired female pauses for a moment to look at her two friends. “But there’s one more thing I forgot to show you with it.”

“What’s that?” Sylvain asks.

“You’ll see.” Annette places her tome under her arm to free her hands. Like a puppet master controlling strings, Annette moves her fingers to control both the Magic-made Ashe and the Magic-made Sylvain. The real Ashe and Sylvain are startled at first when the two forms start moving, but they soon become intrigued the more they watch Annette’s magic.

“Whoa! I didn’t expect them to move too,” Ashe says, keeping his eyes on the approaching figures.

“Me neither,” Sylvain says. Although, his impressed expression soon turns into concern when Annette maneuvers the figures to walk behind them. They didn’t think that their own selves could be so intimidating, but they were in this moment.

“Um, Annette?” Sylvain glances his eyes towards the girl while his focus stays on his magic-made reflection. The only answer he gets is a giggle from Annette. (If Annette of all people isn’t giving him a straight answer, then that can’t be a good sign.) With a flick of Annette’s wrist, the two figures dart out their magic-made hands and, surprisingly, start tickling the real Ashe and Sylvain.

The two male Blue Lions yelp with a jolt at the sudden, silly surprise attack, followed by roaring laughter from the two students. Ashe squeezes his arms to his side and tries to curl himself up, while Sylvain tries to shove the shadowy figure away.

“Hehehey! Wahahait a mihihihinute!” Sylvain playfully exclaims.

“Ahahahannette!” Ashe squeals through his laughter. He ends his sentence with a squeak as the figure scribbles into his ribs, as if his magical doppelgänger is aware of exactly where he's ticklish.

The girl giggles again as she wiggles both sets of her fingers to control the magic figures tickling her friends. “How do you like the second part of my trick? It’s really just to show how the magic can interact with physical objects, but I thought that it would be more fun to test it this way! Plus, there’s usually monsters at the harvest festival, right? So what better monster to have than a tickle monster!”

“Yehehes, we see thahahat!” Sylvain shoots his arms down to pry the hands of the magic-made figure with his likeness away from squeezing his sides.

“It’s vehehehery impressive Annette,” Ashe giggles from his curled up state, “but I thihihink we're both tickled ohohohout!”

“Hehe! Okay, I hear you,” Annette smiles and throws both of her hands to her sides like a conductor of an orchestra. The magic-made Blue Lions disappear into a breeze of purple dust. Ashe and Sylvain immediately wrap their arms around themselves. Annette walks closer to check up on them.

“You two okay?” the girl asks with concern.

“Yeah,” Sylvain smiles with a breathless chuckle. He takes a moment to breath some more air. “That was a…strange experience. Do I really look that menacing when I’m tickling someone?”

“As someone who’s been on the receiving end of your tickle attacks many times, yes,” Ashe teases beside him.

Sylvain scoffs and gives Ashe a playful shove. The silver-haired boy giggles and so does Annette. The harvest festival might be intended to be scary, but its autumn themed decorations, spooky mazes, and even entertaining magics, are all in the spirit of fun.

Fire Emblem Three Houses: Which Ending is a Happy (or most Fulfilled) Ending(s) for Dedue in Fire Emblem Three Houses? (ALL ENDINGS INCLUDED)

Not all character endings are happy ones. Some don't accomplish their goals, there are those who don't completely heal from trauma, or they're overshadowed by someone they're paired with. However, There are also those who accomplish their goals no matter what (Ex: Ignatz being a painter) or seem content with how things went for them.

I'm mostly not going to discuss supports (meaning compatibility between characters or the most romantic) since that's not what this is about. It's about which endings would be the happiest for specific characters or what makes them more fulfilled (you can choose more than one).

Recap: Ingrid

Bernadetta

So right now, we are going to discuss Dedue. I suppose you can call this tricky cause he seems content being Dimitri's vassel. Some can argue that Dedue is not living his own life, being his own person, or taking care of himself. While others can say that he made a choice to stay in Dimitri's service, so he's being his own person. Things can go either way. It all depends on perspective. I'm a neutral party in this.

There's also Duscur, some endings have both Faerghus and Duscur reconcile, while others seem ambiguous (like it doesn't say). Although in the latter, We can only assume since Dimitri doesn't seem like the type to not try to reconcile with Duscur.

Endings

Dedue - Taciturn Devotee

"As a loyal vassal, Dedue dedicated his life to supporting King Dimitri through his entire reign. After tending to his liege on his deathbed, Dedue resumed his post at Dimitri's grave on the edge of Fhirdiad. There, it is said he stood sentinel over the peaceful realm he had helped build until the end of his days."

Have there been improvements with Duscur (like reconciliation)?: ??? (This ending never mentioned Duscur or the reconciliation of both Faerghus and Duscur. We can only assume since Dimitri doesn't seem like the type to not try to reconcile with Duscur)

Is this a happy ending for Dedue, no, or so-so?: Dedue seemed content to remain as Dimitri's vassel. It doesn't seem that different to Dedue's ending with Dimitri. (See Dedue and Dimitri ending)

Dedue and Byleth

"A year after Byleth was appointed to succeed Rhea as the new archbishop, she announced her marriage to Dedue, who had resigned his position as the king's vassal. Their wedding ceremony, brightly colored with all of the most beautiful flowers from Duscur, set the tone for their happy life together. Dedue served as an intermediary between Faerghus and the church and -- alongside the archbishop -- committed to improve relations with foreign nations as part of the rebuilding effort. In their later years, they retired to the Duscur Peninsula where they spent the remainder of their lives gardening in peace and quiet."

Have there been improvements with Duscur (like reconciliation)?: It might be implied. It's said that "...Dedue served as an intermediary between Faerghus and the church and -- alongside the archbishop -- committed to improve relations with foreign nations as part of the rebuilding effort." Foreign nations could include Duscur.

Is it a happy ending for only Dedue, only Byleth, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: Dedue resigned as Dimitri's vassel so he can propose to Byleth (although he said that "He accepted my decision with a smile. I do not think I have finally accepted it myself yet, to be honest."). Despite that, he assists in his own way not just to Faerghus or the church but other nations. Settling in Duscur looks like a good retirement plan for both Byleth and Dedue. Some can say that by resigning he's being his own person or taking care of himself. (Again it all depends on perspective)

Dedue and Dimitri

"After his coronation, Dimitri assumed the throne of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, and his loyal vassal, Dedue, remained ever at his side. Among Dimitri's achievements was the reconciliation with Duscur: an extraordinary effort that required extensive negotiations to get past a history of betrayal and oppression. It was a trying task, but Dimitri never once considered giving up. While they behaved as lord and vassal in public, it is said that Dimitri and Dedue were more like family in private. When Dimitri finally fell to illness, Dedue tended to his liege's deathbed, and then took up a post at his grave for the rest of his days. When the time came, they were buried beside each other."

Have there been improvements with Duscur (like reconciliation)?: Yes

Is it a happy ending for only Dedue, only Dimitri, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: Both. Dimitri always felt guilt over the deaths of his father, Glenn, and the genocide of the people of Duscur (whom were scapegoats to the murder of the king). While he can't bring back his father, Glenn, and many others who died. He can help Duscur and worked so hard to achieve reconciliation and succeeded. Dimitri and Dedue remained close, Even after Dimitri's death (what Dimitri died from i'm not sure. Is it from illness like in his ending with Marianne, old age, or something else?) Dedue still displayed loyalty towards his grave. Doesn't seem that different towards Dedue's single ending.

Dedue and Ashe

"Though the innocence of the Duscur people was proven, prejudice against them still lingered in the Kingdom capital. Far this reason, Ashe refused a knighthood when it was offered to him, and choose instead to open an inn that specialized in Duscur cuisine. Dedue began to frequent the place on breaks from his duty as the king's vassal, and overtime, imparted to Ashe his culinary wisdom. As the inn gained popularity, the people began to see the Duscur people in a positive light. This led to a reconciliation between the two cultures that came rather more quickly than expected."

Have there been improvements with Duscur (like reconciliation)?: Yes

Is it a happy ending for only Dedue, only Ashe, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: Both. Ashe didn't become a Knight due to his disgust of the lingering prejudice against the people of Duscur. However, one of the things makes a Knight a true Knight is readiness to help people, and that can be enough. Ashe embodied a spirit of a knight by opening an inn that specializes in Duscur cuisine to provide a hub for the people of Faerghus and Duscur to meet and settle their differences. And Dedue, while still remaining as Dimitri's Vassel, helped Ashe along the way.

Dedue and Mercedes

"Two years after the war, Dedue and his wife, Mercedes, opened a school in the Duscur residential district in Fhirdiad. The school educated Duscur children, who had never been given structured learning before, in reading, writing, arithmetics, and even Duscur history. Many years later, when the Duscur people reclaimed their homeland, the people who attended this school were able to resettle there and revive their old culture. because of this, Dedue and Mercedes were forever renowned by the Duscur."

Have there been improvements with Duscur (like reconciliation)?: Yes. Not only that but also Duscur's revival.

Is it a happy ending for only Dedue, only Mercedes, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: Both. It doesn't say if Dedue remained as Dimitri's vassel nor does it say that Mercedes entered the service of the church, But being involved in the restoration of a nation wrongly blamed for the death of Faerghus's king and several others sounds like a huge step-up. Especially since Duscur is Dedue's homeland and Mercedes (Adrestian by birth but a Faerghus citizen) did say she wants to help people - whether through service to the Church of Seiros or otherwise.

Dedue and Annette

"Some time after the war, Dedue and Annette exchanged wedding vows in a modest ceremony and then settled down to a life in Fhirdiad. For them, after marriage stayed much the same as before. Dedue continue his duty to King Dimitri, and Annette took up a teaching position at Fhirdiad's school of sorcery. Though each gave the other space for the work that was important to them, they made sure to spend much of their free time together, and to bond over cooking and housework."

Is it a happy ending for only Dedue, only Annette, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: Annette gets to be a teacher, a fitting end for a hard working magic prodigy to teach the next generation of mages/sorcerers. Dedue seems content to remain as Dimitri's vassel. But both Dedue and Annette seemed super with their jobs, at least they make time to be with each other.

Dedue and Ingrid

"After the war, Dedue and Ingrid both served as protectors to the newly crowned King Dimitri: the former as his loyal vassal, and the latter as a knight sworn to House Blaiddyd. The pair fought side by side on countless occasions, and were known to be inseparable on the battlefield. Tales of the taciturn vassal and the steadfast lady knight were told by bards all throughout Fódlan, and it is said that their friendship helped spark the reconciliation between the peoples of Faerghus and Duscur."

Have there been improvements with Duscur (like reconciliation)?: Yes

Is it a happy ending for only Ingrid, only Dedue, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: Both, because not only do both Ingrid (achieving her dream to be a Knight) and Dedue work together as protectors to Dimitri. But their friendship helped the peoples of Faerghus and Duscur reconcile. She gained character growth too, overcoming her prejudice.

Dedue and Flayn

"After the war, Dedue returned to Fhirdiad to support King Dimitri's reign as his vassal. As he worked, his wife, Flayn, was determined to support him with home-cooked meals. Dedue patiently endured the more disastrous of his wife's experiments, while teaching her everything he knew. Eventually Flayn's talent blossomed and she became a renowned chef. It is said that those who were lucky enough to taste her cooking always asked for more, and that Dedue's eyes lit up with affection and pride when she told him what she was planning to prepare next. "

Is it a happy ending for only Dedue, only Flayn, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: Flayn manages to improve her cooking. Plus, I remember that Flayn is interested in love and relationships. Plus she's able to have her own life without Seteth interfering (I think? Depends on the perspective). Dedue seems content to remain as Dimitri's vassel.

Dedue and Shamir

"After the war, Dedue returned to Fhirdiad to support King Dimitri's reign as his vassal. Shamir was ever near, and as Dedue's trusted partner and a mercenary for the royal family, she complemented his public-facing work with by handling any necessary covert operations. The trusting professional relationship between the two blossomed into love, and soon they were married. It is said that, when absolutely no one else was around, they would let down their guard and engage in secret jokes and idle chatter."

Is it a happy ending for only Dedue, only Shamir, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: In this ending Shamir at least managed to settle down somewhere (possibly moving on from her dead partner). Dedue seems content to remain as Dimitri's vassel.

Which of these endings is his most happy endings (you can choose more than one)? What do you rank these endings? You can even discuss Dedue's supports as a reason in comment.

I'm about to do Ingrid next since one of her biggest struggles is deciding between her dream of being a knight and the welfare of her noble house as the only Crest bearer in the Galatea family.
