How about this: m!merceleth
Tumblr media
They were one of my favorite friendships in my AM run! my Byleth is ace/arospec and gay so I don't see them as romantic personally, but I really liked their supports and I think Mercie was one of the first people Byleth was somewhat vulnerable with. They're both guarded in their own ways, but they can open up to each other in a way they can't (or don't want to) with most people. They look out for each other. It's nice.

Favorite Merceleth headcanons?
Thank you for the ask!!!
Merceleth isn't really a ship I have headcanons for? it's more like I have reasons for liking them as a couple, but also those reasons are kind of grounded in hc?
I guess one headcanon is that they're very in tune, almost inherently. Shortly after getting to know each other, they know they can rely on the other as if they were their right hand. They balance each other out, yes, but they're also on the same page about a lot of things. Their backgrounds, personalities, behavior, they balance each other out, but like their nature is the same page. If that makes sense.
I love merceleth because of that mix of opposite (devil/angel, mercenary/nun, fighting/healing, deadpan/cheery, good with complex things* and bad with people/bad with complex things and good with people, etc) and of connection; It's what makes them such an entertaining pair to me. I love imagining everyone else in the monastery being baffled by their in tune-ness and how well they understand eachother.
My other headcanon is that part of why they connect is their childhoods; Byleth grew up in a mercenary band, and as well adjusted they may be, that's still a pretty disillusioning and violent upbringing. Mercedes grew up in an abusive family and lost her brother at a young age. This is hard to explain unless you've experienced it, but going through life having had a chaotic childhood can make you feel disconnected from your peers, like you can't be on their level because you've learned to navigate disfunction while they have known function, or the things that seem important to them seem irrelevant to you (or whatever! this is a nuanced thing). So when they meet, they find someone, like them, who "gets it", who they feel normal around.
(I have spent the better part of two years obsessing about Mercedes's psychology and childhood, which is where most of my headcanons lie. Probably my most important Mercedes hc is that she's a CSA survivor, and that definitely effects her relationship with Byleth, so that's a merceleth hc by association; it definitely ties into my point above about meeting someone who can understand your trauma.)
More traditional hcs because you got me going now: I think they'd try on each other's clothes and have a great time. I've said this before but I think prof au they mix up letters to each other and graded papers and accidentally hand back a letter to students. I think they stay up all night talking. I think they both admire the other's way of doing things, like Mercedes is very impressed with Byleth's sword skills and Byleth is so impressed by her sewing. I think they're both smart but when they together they become idiots (affectionate) I think individually they're good in a crisis but if they're together they will somehow make the situation worse. I think prof au they are always sneaking their relationship around seteth. I think they see the students as kids but the faculty sees THEM as kids. They are a sitcom duo to me <333 these characters are pure serotonin <333 theyre so silly <333
*I don't know how else to say this?? I mean Byleth is good at war strategy and teaching a lot of different subjects and is just super intelligent in specific ways that Mercedes is. not. she can't hold too many numbers in her head at once she is self diagnosed scatterbrained.

“Please don’t cry.” as either Mercedes x M!Byleth or Mercedes x Hubert, your choice, and hopefully as something more tragic ending heartbreak then breakup heartbreak?
Went with Mercedes/Myleth since I don’t think I’ve even written them before? And if I have then it’s been long enough for me to forget, and therefore they deserve another story. 
(Currently accepting rare ships! Click here for the info post!)
--
Byleth couldn’t wrap his head around all that had happened. They had won the battle at Fort Merceus and triumphed over the Death Knight. They had won. Yet soon after deciding to return to Garreg Mach, Mercedes had collapsed. 
“Internal bleeding,” Flayn announced sometime later after leaving Mercedes’ tent. “Dimitri, I will need some supplies...”
Byleth barely heard their conversation. He replayed the fight in his mind-- trying to think of a Divine Pulse that had gone wrong, or a fight Mercedes had lost that he hadn’t wound back in time.
When Dimitri had gathered everything Flayn requested, Byleth lingered by the tent flap, hoping someone would allow him inside. But Flayn put a hand on his arm. “Please, Professor, let us do our work,” she said, speaking of herself and Marianne, who was already at Mercedes’ side.
“But I-- I’m--” Byleth stumbled. I’m the Enlightened One. I have the powers of the Goddess. I have to be able to do something. 
Flayn squeezed his arm with a wan smile. “I will come get you when you can see her. In the meantime, it may comfort you to pray.”
Mercedes had always done enough praying for them both. Though the prayers themselves never brought Byleth comfort, Mercedes’ sweet voice always did. He wanted to hear that voice now. Instead, he nodded to Flayn and stepped aside.
The other Blue Lions came and went. Some had reports for Byleth, which he accepted with a nod, and some just came to sit beside him until their duties around camp called them away. At one point, Dedue brought Byleth a mug of soup. Some time later, Annette came by to make him drink it.
Most of the army had gone to sleep by the time Flayn exited the tent again. Byleth stood, his mug half full and now forgotten in the dirt. “She’s asking for you,” Flayn said.
“Is she alright?”
Marianne stepped out of the tent and went straight past Byleth and Flayn. She didn’t stop until she reached the nearest campfire, where she practically fell into Dedue’s waiting arms. 
Flayn bowed her head, clasped her hands, and spoke to her shoes. “We have done everything we can. Only time will tell if it was enough.”
Byleth pat her on the head. As much as he would have liked more assurance, Flayn looked exhausted. “Thank you,” he said. Then he turned and entered Mercedes’ tent.
A single candle at the far end illuminated Mercedes laying on her bedroll. Spools of bandages and empty bottles of potions had been swept to one side. A blanket stopped Byleth from seeing where Marianne and Flayn had been working, which was probably for the best. Byleth knelt beside Mercedes-- then he swallowed and lay down beside her instead. 
Blonde hair framed tired eyes, but Mercedes still smiled when she saw him. She reached out a hand to cup his cheek. “Oh, please don’t cry, my love.” Byleth covered her hand with his, leaning into her touch. “I’m sorry for spoiling our victory.”
Byleth shook his head. “It’s my fault.” It had to be. He was the one with the divine powers, the divine sword, the title of general-- there could be no one else to blame.
Mercedes took in a shaky breath. “No. I deserve this.”
“Mercedes...”
“I deserve this. I abandoned Emile.” Mercedes’ lip quivered, tears spilling down her cheeks. “I abandoned my baby brother.”
Byleth leaned forward to kiss those cheeks. “You don’t deserve this. None of it.” She let out a sob-- then a gasp of pain. Byleth tried shushing her, pressing his lips to the corner of her mouth. “You need rest. Please, Mercedes.” More tears fell, some landing on Byleth’s face and some falling freely to her pillow.
Sothis had gifted Byleth some portion of her powers and yet Byleth’s healing couldn’t come close to Mercedes’. He lay a hand over her abdomen anyway, allowing white light to flow from his hand into her. Whatever good it would do. 
“S-Stay with me?” Mercedes managed, laying her hand over his atop the blanket.
Byleth nodded. He extinguished the candle before huddling against her. With the light gone, with Mercedes’ wounds hidden from view, Byleth could pretend this was just another night together. 
He kissed her forehead and muttered, as close to a prayer as he would ever come, “Be here when I wake up.” 
Mercedes nodded even as her eyes shut. “I won’t fail you too. I’ll be here. I’ll be here...” 
Sleep didn’t find Byleth that night. He lay awake, listening to every inhale and every heartbeat. Sometimes-- when Mercedes breathed unhindered and the sounds of the army camp seemed far away-- Byleth spared a thought for Emile.

Do you recommend any good Blue Lions fics? I really can't find any good one that catches my interest because most are either just Edelgard bash fics or have the discomfort ship (dmlth)
Anon, you and I are in the same boat 😭 (Also lmfao, D*mileth being a discomfort ship is such a big mood (and thank you for the term ahaha)--love them platonically, but them romantically (if not in a polycule with another girl) makes me break out in hives 🥲)
I tried my best tho! Took me a while to answer this cause I had to take a deep dive into my bookmarks--I tend to gravitate towards Black Eagles / Golden Deer fics because of the risk of Edelgard-bashing from BL fans, so I don't have a lot of AM fics on-hand :(
Disclaimer: I didn't include shippy BL fic one-shots, as I assumed you're looking for recs that would feature more of the crew / things found in AM but not in other routes! But if you're down with those, I do have a bunch of BL/Hegemon!Edelgard x Byleth fics on hand 😂
------------------
[Post-AM]
1. Our Own Paths by jtav (WIP)
Byleth meant only to rewind time and knock away a dagger. Something goes wrong and Edelgard becomes a half-mad beast. Dimitri begs her to save his sister and Byleth reluctantly agrees. (rcb note: Technically an AU, but eh. Anyway, it's one of my favorites among the fics I've discovered recently. In the author's notes this is what it says: "This is very much AM El with all that implies. But…this is also a story that believes radical reform was necessary by an author whose favorite route is CF" and it's really evident in their fic ehehe. It's an exploration into the trauma and guilt and grief that Edelgard's war sets onto Fodlan--while it may have been ultimately necessary (armed reformation vs "peaceful" reformation which may merely prolong the suffering of the people, if it would even work at all), a righteous cause and the promise of a brighter future still can't wash away the blood that's been shed or the horrors that they've all endured. I also love the conflict that comes up between the Adrestians and El--both parties learning from each other their reasons for the roles in the war...just, really really good stuff :) )
[Alternate Universe Fics]
1. An Eagle Among Lions by AMX004_Qubeley (Completed)
The morning after her and Byleth's wedding, Emperor Edelgard von Hresvelg wakes up in her old bedroom in Garreg Mach to discover that she has brown hair, only one Crest, ten happy and healthy brothers and sisters, and a bad habit of sleeping through her professor's lectures. (rcb note: Let's assume you aren't the same anon as the one who recc'd this to me hehe. Anyway, I gush about this fic here :) )
2. outwit even death by Volossya (WIP)
In which Byleth saves the Edelgards of Silver Snow, Verdant Wind, and Azure Moon by dragging them through time to the beginning of Crimson Flower. Fodlan will never be the same. (rcb note: not really BL, but it has AM!Edelgard at least? Just wanted to recc it, I find it really interesting :) )
3. The Lion and The Lotus by WithPatienceComesPeace (WIP)
The Prince of Faerghus unites with a mysterious Professor from Duscur to uncover the Truth about the Lambert Assassination. (rcb note: The MC is an OC, and the fic follows the Blue Lions, however Byleth is the Black Eagle's Professor. I confess that I've mostly just read the few parts that had Byleth in it, but I did check out some other chapters and they looked quite well-written and interesting! From what I gathered, Duscur is sort of a fantasy!India and that's where the MC is from. The worldbuilding is amazing, altho I don't know what the plot is haha, but I'm certain it's good. I love the MC interacting with Dedue and Dimitri, and the former 2 bonding over the culture and grieving the loss of Duscur together. The MC's interactions with the other BL's great as well, and from what I've read, the author has a great grasp on their characters! Once I'm done with my Byleth-centric binging I actually do plan to go back to this fic and read it in its entirety :) )

Merceleth and Celcryst (Alcyrst x Celine) for the ship bingo.
Okay this is so funny I literally just sent merceleth to another friend for this exact game like minutes before I got this ask
Merceleth on the right and celcryst on the left!
Merceleth with either byleth is like one of my absolute biggest ships I love them so dearly! I watched Celcryst's C and B supports and I can definitely see where the appeal is but I never really got too into Celine's character due to not using her as a unit and that meant she didn't get many supports. Actually one of my goals in my hard mode run is to try harder to keep Celine specifically because I heard good things about her and really want to get to know her

The ride back to the Monastery was tense, lacking the chatter of victory. The Blue Lions had defeated another crew of bandits, but one key member was leaving much worse for wear.
Mercedes had been stabbed with a poison dagger.
It is here. My ultimate merceleth fic.
Tags: Hurt/Comfort, Trauma Recovery, Friends to Lovers, Character Study
This fic is already done! it is about 21k words, and I will be posting each chapter individually until it is done, maybe every two or three days. 
(CW: The first chapter has some light body horror)
