Basket of peaches [Henry]

‘’ Whoever doesn’t want to go fight the Ylissean army is dismissed, I will take the punishment instead of you all. ‘’

The morale of the army was loo, too low; their allies were running from the fight, Emmeryn’s death engraved in their mind. What was the point in this fight anyway? Many of them wanted to flee, but everybody knew that death was the only outcome of this, either from treason or from that battle that would be the last. The Plegian army seemed frozen on the ground; excepting those who were running away from the fight, nobody was moving, they were all looking at their general, Mustafa, livid from what he just said. They all knew what taking the punishment meant. Winning or losing the battle would have the same result for their general; death.

‘’ Are there anyone else planning to flee? Do it now or never! Follow what you think is right! Lady Emmeryn’s words touched you and you believe she was right? Flee! I too am following what I believe is right; I won’t flee. I will fight to death, being loyal to my general is what I believe to be right. So those who stays, let’s not fight for King Gangrel anymore, let’s fight for our general! ‘’

These encouragements – or were they a cry of despair? Nobody could really tell – from a [hair color] haired dark mage managed to break the fear of the soldiers next to them. Seeing who it was, Mustafa was proud but also wanted to swear. Of course, it was them who would encourage the troop to keep fighting in his name, he knew nobody more loyal to him that his own child. He wanted to tell [name] to run, to go back to their house, to get out of the battlefield, but he couldn’t. It was too late for that, seeing that his precious kid was currently fighting a brown-haired cavalier and that the new Exalt of Ylisse was coming his way. The general was waiting for him, waiting for this bloodbath to end.

‘’ I am General Mustafa of Plegia. If you wish to keep your lives, then you must win them! ‘’

The fight was short, too short. The sword that pierced him in the stomach wasn’t the most hurtful thing Mustafa felt at that moment. No, it was a single scream. The scream of his child seeing their father being strike drown by the Exalt. He wanted to tell them that he was proud of them, but he couldn’t. He needed to carefully select his last words to protect his soldiers.

‘’ Well done, Ylisseans...Hrrggh! Please...spare my...men... ‘’

A caw. Another one. What started as one crow making some noises ended up as a cawcophony on the battlefield. [Name] didn’t know how long it has been since the end of the fight. One hour, maybe two? Or even more? All they knew was that they have been in the same position for far too long, crying over their father’s dead body, and that the Ylissean army quickly left the place after that the heartbroken crying mage punched the Exalt across the face to force him to stand back from Mustafa’s body. Someone sitting to their right didn’t even made them turn around, already knowing who it was; wherever a murder is, Henry is near.

‘’ I see that you didn’t really get hurt, all the blood on you doesn’t seem to be yours. That’s good, I would hate to see you hurt. ’’

‘’ They – they killed him, Henry. He wanted to spare them, but they killed him! Dad is dead! I don’t want to let him here. Mom needs to know. We should dig a grave for him, ‘’ [Name] whispered, still not looking at Henry.

‘’ Stop crying, you look silly. Mustafa always gave me peaches whenever I visited, so I will put a basket on peaches on his grave as a thank you. Would you like that? ‘’

‘’ Yes, ‘’ the [hair color] mage whipped their tears with their blood tainted sleeves before finally getting up and giving their hand to Henry, ‘’ but you still suck at trying to console people. ‘’

Rules

This list is subject to change.

General rules:

I will not write NSFW nor too sensitive topics. I’m sorry, but I am here to have fun, not to feel uncomfortable.

I can write both drabbles and headcanons.

I do not write for the younger characters nor the elder ones, unless it is something like ‘‘ Fae wants the Reader to adopt her but they are uncertain about being a parent so Fae tries to convince them ‘‘ or ‘‘ Mustafa acts like a dad to the reader. The Reader decides to stay with him and a few of their companions to fight Ylisse’s army, knowing perfectly well that they won’t survive this fight. ‘‘ So yeah, platonic relationship for these characters.

I honestly prefer writing platonic and rival relationship, but I can do romance too, I just have less practice.

I love AUs, so you can definitely send me some!

I don’t write Character x Character unless it is platonic or one of my crackships. I mostly do drabbles about one character with no particular relationship or Character x Reader.

I like writing letters, so if you want to send something like ‘‘ Donnel sends a letter to his mother, fearing his death because Grima appeared and they are planning for the last fight ’‘, you definitely can!

I won’t write more than 3 characters for the drabbles.

I mostly write fluff and crack, but I love writing angst too.

I know yanderes seem to be quite popular in the fandom actually, but I won’t write yandere!character.

Special rule:

As you can see, my username is Ylisseanbard-stories. I can and will write stories that bards sing. If you don’t see what I am talking about, you can go listen to Ragnar the Red on YouTube.

The games I played:

Fire Emblem Awakening

Fire Emblem Fates

Fire Emblem Echoes

Fire Emblem New Mystery of the Emblem

Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon

Fire Emblem Heroes

I am currently trying to put my hands on a copy Fire Emblem Sacred Stones

I don’t write for every characters, but still send your request in, I’ll see if it’s someone I’ll write for on not. Just know that I won’t write for most villains ( I have no problem writing for Hestia and Maria from Echoes. )
