Emblem Byleth and the Three Lords
Alear: Check out this Bracelet I found!
Byleth: Wait. The pattern? It can’t be, can it?
Alear: *Summons Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude*
Byleth: Uh-oh...
Edelgard: We’re finally free!
Dimitri: Its been so long. 
Claude: Teach!
Byleth: All of you. It does my heart well that we are all reunited but I before we go any further I must speak to you.
Dimitri: Speak? About what?
Byleth: I know all three of of you have many different ideas about how things ought to be like in our homeward, but you need to understand that we can all learn to compromise and I am willing to act as your mediator-
Edelgard: oh that. Professor, we’ve set aside our differences. 
Byleth: What?
Claude: We were in that emblem for a thousand years. We had a lot of time to talk things out. 
Dimitri: Really it only took 42 years for us to come to an agreement. 
Byleth: What did you do in the remaining time?
Edelgard: Oh orgy night. Like every night. 
Claude: In fact, things only got better after we stopped arguing and starting ramming. 
Dimitri: I can’t believe we missed out on it for so long. 
Byleth: THAT’S ALL IT TOOK?!
Alear: Wait they aren’t a throuple in Byleth’s world? Hm? Could’ve fooled me.

I love three houses discourse because I'm pretty sure everyone just picks their route based on which house leader they're the most gay for and then tries to defend their pick by pointing out the other sides's war crimes via twitter memes. Reader, all four of them do substantial quantities of war crimes. So many. We're just here because the woman with Issues and a big fuck-off axe said so, and then we gotta justify everything she did in the name of dismantling the class system. I mean, I'm here for that, but you could also try justifying Charm Man uses poison and perfidy to try to stop racism, A Sad Little Meow Meow gives no quarter instead of doing therapy, or the Thicc Pope tries to bring back her mom via human experimentation, depending on your tastes
#This is 100% swinging at a hell of a hornet's nest#Do I tag it?#Yeah fuck it we ball#fe3h#fe16#edelgard von hresvelg#claude von riegan#dimitri alexandre blaiddyd#rhea fire emblem#I should probably clarify that I love all of these characters quite dearly#Well except Rhea#I think she's a good character but I'm not feral about her like Edelgard or charmed by her like Claude or desperate to save her like Dimitr#discourse#edelgard discourse#Edit: I actually don’t care about 3H discourse either way lol#there’s plenty of interesting shit to talk about in this game#also I get that the people who say “x did war crimes” actually don’t mean “this was bad because it violated the Geneva Convention”#but any time I see something about how many war crimes someone did (usually Edelgard or Dimitri) I just think:#“Hah it’s a war crime to deploy Cyril to rescue Flayn because he’s still 14 then”#also I got into this game because someone told me ‘so there’s a gal with an axe and trauma’ and I booted it up#and I have a friend who likes Rhea despite his moral reservations solely because ‘she’s hot tho’#and that’s also really funny#point is I don’t really wanna participate in most fe3h discourse cuz I have shit to do but this post isn’t meant to be a dunk on anyone#I’m not upset when I see it; it’s either funny or fine or sometimes right#I’m just gay for Edelgard and amused by the idea of applying the Geneva Convention to a world where it Clearly Isn’t A Thing

Yandere! FE3H House Leaders Headcanons
Warnings: As this is yandere fiction, this deals with behaviours  that can be uncomfortable and triggering to read. Read at your own risk. This work is purely fictional, I do not condone this behaviour irl. By clicking the ‘read more/keep reading’ you are consenting to read this at your discretion.  
Characters:  Edelgard, Claude & Dimitri 
Tumblr media
Edelgard 
Type: clingy & delusional 
~Edelgard finds herself lured by your strength and grit. You may or may not be physically strong, but it is your mental fortitude that arises her initial interest in you. During the academy days, she observed how despite the obstacles in your way, and the adversities of your past, you never broke down. You faced whatever came your way head on, or in the instance challenges deterred you momentarily, you always bounced back. She admired this because it was a reflection of who she was as well, and no matter what battle or war, this essence of intrapersonal strength was the most critical part to determine the last ones standing. 
~She wants you to be part of the Black Eagles - she needs people with your vitality by her side when she plans to start the war as the Adrestine Emperor. Edelgard is driven, if nothing else - ruthlessly ambitious to achieve what she wants. So, there’s no stopping until you are part of the Black Eagles. 
~Once you are part of the Black Eagles, Edelgard inevitably can spend more time with you; by doing so, she sees how hard you work and your unique brilliance that makes you excel in your area of expertise. However, it is your dedication that really makes her fall for you. Subsequently, she begins to imagine your future together. She envisions a new Fodland, unified under the Adesterine Empire. A new era where crests and the church are meaningless, and you’re there to rule right by her side. The rewritten history records would speak of the Flame Emperor and her lover who changed the world with their storm, and their shared ambitions and power that reshaped the sovereignty of Fodland. Eventually, she becomes so consumed by these delusions of your future together, she starts to believe that you are already together. There is no courting, or even asking. It’s just the reality and it’s really frustrating for her when you continue to attempt to dissuade from it. So, she has no other option except to be by your side and cling to you until you realise this. 
Tumblr media
Claude 
Type: manipulative & overprotective 
~You were an enigma, and Claude wanted to figure you out. You always wore a genuine bright smile on your face, and kept a cheerful energy. Even during times when everyone else would be visibly upset, you never were. You always maintained your cheerfulness, almost as if you didn’t allow yourself to feel your other emotions. And so out of curiousity, Claude started to watch you discreetly. He noticed that he was right in his assumptions; you never let your true emotions show. In times when something displeased, annoyed, or upset you, it would be only for a mere moment where your mask would slip and your true expression would show. Otherwise, that smile would continue to remain. 
~Truthfully speaking, Claude rather preferred the moments where you were just you, instead of wearing that smile he was beginning to detest. He wanted to dig deeper and see more of you to understand why you hid yourself and didn’t trust your housemates enough to show yourself. What could you possibly be hiding? 
~Claude was cunning and great at maintaining his own facade if nothing else. Perhaps, that’s why he felt drawn to you in the first place. Since you piqued his interest, he couldn’t just let you go without undoing you. He decided that he was going to break you down to nothing to unveil your secrets if that’s what it took. 
~Slowly and surely, Claude started to single you out. From observing you so much, he had a grasp on what he had to say and what buttons to push to set you off. It started off slowly - a brief pointing out of an insecurity, until it kept growing. Seeing that you weren’t close to breaking no matter how much he tried, Claude nearly gave up. But just before he did, you gave in. 
~You couldn’t tolerate his bullying any longer; it reminded you too much of the trauma you experienced at home, and to escape from all of that, was exactly why you came to the Officers Academy in the first place.
~As you break down, and start to Claude why he was being so mean to you and beg him to stop, disclosing hints of your trauma in the process, he achieved his goal. He came to understand that you hid yourself because that’s what you had been shamed for, and that’s who you had been traumatised to hide. It was abhorrent because you were so lovely - the real you, the delicate you. You deserved much more than you had ever been given, and he was going to give that to you. 
~He embraced you, gently rubbed your back to soothe you, and started to mumble apologies. Then, once you settled, the scelara of your eyes red from the crying, and tears hanging onto your eyelashes, he thought you were so pretty. He cupped your face, and turned it so you were looking up directly in his eyes. 
“You don’t have to hide yourself anymore. I promise I won’t let anyone else hurt you. I’ll kill them if they even try.” 
Tumblr media
Dimitri  Type: clingy, stalker, & possessive  
~If love-at-first-sight trope met puppy love trope, that’s how your story starts with Dimitri. Definitely, there is physical attraction from the moment he saw you. But more than that, there was also a strange and immersive pull he felt towards you that would make him believe you two were destined soulmates if he was the type of person to blindly believe in such nuances. So, while there was something that felt akin to love at first sight, Dimitri never acted on it, or had plans to act on it. It was something he was aware of, acknowledged, and planned to never think about again. Well, not until you joined the Blue Lions, and then, he had no choice but to be in close proximity to you. 
~You have many good qualities and traits that Dimitri admired. But the one that he valued the most, was your kindness. You were always ready to lend a hand to anyone that needed it. You were always there to support and listen to your housemates whenever they required it. But who was there for you when you needed it? Realistically, your housemates were reliable and all of your support and help was reciprocated when you needed it as well. That’s what you loved about the Blue Lions, and had joined their house in the first place. But for Dimitri, whenever you were present, you were the only thing he ended up focusing on. Everything else was as easy to tune out as white noise. So for him, no was ever there for you. He needed to be there for you. And that’s how his puppy love started. 
~He starts to leave little presents for you - your favourite snacks, flowers, tea, etc. At first, it was flattering, the way most people would feel when they notice they have a secret admirer. You looked forward to finding the things you liked and reading the sweet notes filled with small and delightful compliments that accompanied them. However, it became frightening when the presents were left in your private spaces like your bedroom. With everything that started to happen with the Flame Emperor and the other assaults at the church recently, you didn’t wait around until something more serious happened to address the problem. Immediately, you asked to speak with your house leader privately, and brought up your concerns. 
It was great how proactive you were. You noticed something suspicious and immediately took action to address it; this showed your capability too. But, it was such a shame that you went to the preparator himself. 
Dimitri was hurt that you found his expressions of love for you suspicious and suspected him of being a ‘stalker’. But, he was a realist; he understood that love took time and love took hard work. If he was the type to act on mere biological lust, then he would have courted you from the moment he met you. Nonetheless, he was perfectly content with working hard as well and helping you realise that you belonged together. 
“It’s hurtful that you became suspicious of my presents. I just wanted to show you how much I love you,” he started, stepping closer and closer to you, until he had his arms wrapped around you. 
“W-What?” 
“But it’s okay. I understand that you have not realised your feelings for me yet. I’m more than happy to help you with that.” He whispered softly, before clumsily locking his lips with yours.

𝚂𝚕𝚎𝚎𝚙𝚢 𝚖𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚜 𝚠/ 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚎𝚎 𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚜
Tumblr media Tumblr media
࿐ character(s): Edelgard, Claude, Dimitri (Fire Emblem Three Houses/Hopes)
࿐ genre: sfw, fluff
࿐ type: headcanons
࿐ requested by: BY ME- 
⌦ male!reader (he/him)
⌦ the three lords and their sleepy hcs (can contain morning & night moments)
A/N: first fire emblem post but its not me just hyperfixating over one character. there’s multiple. and the three lords are FIRST. feeding myself fire emblem content by being a self-indulgent little shit 🏃‍♂️💨
Tumblr media
𝙴𝚍𝚎𝚕𝚐𝚊𝚛𝚍:
→ although she experiences frequent nightmares and lays awake due to her insomnia. she wouldn’t expect something or even someone to make her feel at ease to try to sleep. but sometimes the world can be unexpected. and the world gave you to her.
→ i have a feeling Edelgard would make sure you are asleep first, the sight of your sleeping expression brings her a shit ton of comfort and reassurance you are safe. a comfortable moment where she feels at peace with your warm body next to her, under the same blankets and sheets.
→ thou sometimes you wait for her to fall asleep, wanting your beloved to actually get some sleep so she won’t seem so tired with her duties the next days.
→ being one of the lords, she has the confidence to big spoon you, and she does- just having you close to her within her reach. inbetween her arms.
→ once it reaches morning, she makes sure to give you a little kiss on your face before she leaves to get ready for the day ahead of her. always leaving you to sleep in a little longer before she would check up on you moments later. and eventually wake you up.
→ Edelgard would time to time not want to get out of bed, comfortable and content to sleep. happy to have someone she can cuddle with days and nights ends.
𝙲𝚕𝚊𝚞𝚍𝚎:
→ the type to hold you close. very close. as he doesn’t have too much time with you due to his own duties and important things to attend too, he would do anything to keep you close just for a little longer. or even a while longer.
→ which comes to him making any excuse to keep you with him in bed. especially when morning comes with the birds chirping and breaking sunlight between curtains.
→ trying to slip away from his grasp in the morning is hard, as one of his arms hook around your waist tiredly. but it was soon greeted with his other arm closing in to pull you back onto the bed. soft whines leaving his lips like a puppy and an obvious pout adoring his tired face. he just wants you to stay with him a little longer, would you let him indulge?
→ definitely will spoil you. breakfast in bed... showering you in kisses, face and body too... playing with your hair if you let him or letting you play with his quite messy cocoa hair. and a few other things Claude will list.
→ though, on mornings where Claude must admit he’s busy and has to leave to tend to those duties, he always makes sure he tells you sweet nothings and a kiss on your lips or cheek before departing.
→ cant lie... Claude will likely wake up earlier than you as its- really part of his daily schedule before meeting you. but besides that, he lays in bed. watching your handsome face till he forces himself to get up. his mind just lingering of you majority of his mornings, and he’s not complaining.
𝙳𝚒𝚖𝚒𝚝𝚛𝚒:
→ its kinda hard seeing him in particular to be soft and all that fluffy jazz with his actual- lore and story... but i just love him too much.
→ Dimitri is (to me) definitely touched starved. so initiating most of the cuddles under the comfortable sheets and blankets would be a new experience with him, one that would take time for him to get used to.
→ but he’s definitely not denying any touch from you. as he may dislike fragile things and anything alike, but your gentle touch that skim his skin. whether it be on his arms, wrists, hands, his face- it makes him yearn and lean closer to your warming body. 
→ his eyes softly closed in the action as he places his own hand over yours whenever you touch his face. nuzzling gentle and maybe the rare bold chance of him pecking a kiss on your palm.
→ mornings with him, is usually him waking before you, leaving to go clean himself up and maybe making/grabbing breakfast for you to bring to the shared room. his eyes softening seeing your resting figure comfortable.
→ Dimitri would always say gentle, sweet sappy nothings to you whenever you are asleep. saving himself from the embarrassment that would occur when you hear him say it. but at the same time he’s so tame and tender with his movements when it comes to you. he treats you like a piece of artwork that could crack any moment, though you may have flaws and possible cracks, you are seen as a Kintsugi to him.

BYLETH EISNER is a man best kept alone to his devices. As a student, Claude didn’t know much about the enigmatic professor who could cleave mountains with his sheer might. As a man after your affections, he only knew that he was an obstacle to his goals. The Ashen Demon wasn’t that discreet when it came to his . . . attraction.
Opening up his journal to find out more on his rival, he knew what kind of horrors he’d find. But it still didn’t prepare him for the lunacy written upon yellowed parchment.

ENTRY 00 — ALWAYS & FOREVER
Why was it that you always, always landed out of my arm’s reach? Wasn’t this a game? A game made to fulfill my desires? A game made to help me escape reality and the agonizing lack of romance in my life?
So why did you always end up with someone else? No matter how many true resets I’ve made, no matter the different ways I’ve approached you and even the extent I’ve isolated you from the other house leaders, you always, always, ended up with one of them.
Hell, it didn’t matter that you assisted Edelgard with her acquisition of Fodlan one time. You still somehow found yourself in the bed of none other than Dimitri himself. The fool always took you in no matter what horrors you caused on him or his allies.
I stared at your old, frail body. Thanks to the Goddess’s aid in this timeline, I’ve never aged a day. I stayed youthful and spry as you and Edelgard grew to rule the new land I had acquired for her.
Your wrinkly skin still felt heavenly to caress. Each second of continuous contact filled me with more and more pleasure; less and less self-control.
Maybe if I were bolder, more radical with my approaches. Maybe if I had just eliminated them all before they stand a chance.
Maybe then I won’t have to just sit and stare but hold you close and cage you within my arms. My snowbird that always deserted me during spring, a being so allergic to sunlight that you ran away from him endlessly despite the warmth he devotedly provided.
I am the Sun. There was no room to argue with that fact.
And I will always be there, shining my unbearably powerful rays of scorching hot light upon you.
Tumblr media
1155 It seems that were born as snow and ice. The closest one might get to the term brigid. Quite fitting since you are set to rule a nation by such a name when your father, the current ruler, passes away.
You weren’t supposed to take the throne at all. Your older brother was a fit heir. He had spares in the form of his children as well. But, as your eldest niece Petra is too young, you had to take responsibility of an entire nation even though you weren’t much older.
1175 After the death of your brother, you were sent to Adrestia as a symbol of newfound trust. However shaky it might be, you had no choice but to fulfill your duties. It seems even from a young age you were already cold, as accounts of you described a mature, straight laced girl. You knew, much earlier than everyone else that despite your high stature in society, you were only but a pawn to time and destiny.
All this came in useful when it was discovered that all Adrestian royal children were kidnapped. So you did not only have to fulfill the role of heir apparent to a country but a country and an Empire. Those who slithered in the dark made your authenticity as new royal kin solid far too quickly. No one even got to question it as you replaced Edelgard’s older siblings in meetings and formal events.
A simple story of your own albeit feigned kidnapping years ago, plus a few spells here in there to change your eye color to purple, guaranteed you a spot next to the Emperor. You lost everything: your identity, your brother, your friends back home; only to have gained a small chance to even take the throne that oppressed you. The Emperor, in turn, also got to keep his position. His luxurious, heavy crown and clothing in exchange for continuing the façade and perpetuating the play.
After Edelgard’s return to the stage, a lot changed. Factions formed left and right on who should take the throne next. Would it be the bastard child that proved to be a worthy heir, or the true child of Adrestia who’s yet to prove herself? But in beyond the glitz and glamor of the stage, you two shared quite a strong bond. You taught Edelgard many of your secrets when it came to the act. How one would stay calm under pressure, and to keep an air of confidence when all you can think of is self-doubt. In exchange, the Agarthans saw you fulfilling your duty as their spy diligently. You rose in the ranks of both areas in the speed of light.
You were determined to free yourself from the shackles, a consequence of the ichor you were blessed with.
Everything had been set.
An escape cometh Spring.
1180 You, Edelgard, and your niece Petra are sent to be the representatives of the Empire in the Officer’s Academy.
I have already planned out what to do for this timeline.
And this time? You won’t be getting away.
Tumblr media
A/N: I couldn’t for the life of me find a Fire Emblem 3H fic that included both the three house leaders and Byleth as romantic interests so I decided to take one out of Thanos’s books and do it (make one) myself.
There will be other yanderes as well but the House Leaders + Byleth are the main ones.
Reader will be the horniest aro, just watch.
I already had a FE3H concept I could have gone to in my Quotev account but was like NAHHHH I WANT REVERSE SAGAU(ish) BUT FIRE EMBLEM. So here we are.
Unfortunately because of how this is formatted I’m not able to make individual chapter warnings but I’ll be making a masterpost where everything is listed.
Fun Fact: In Japanese, Fire Emblem 3H is called 風花雪月 literally translating to Wind (Claude), Flower (Edelgard), Snow (Rhea or in this case, [Y/N]) and Moon (Dimitri). So the white theme is based off of that. I’ve been working on this for so long and wanted to make a house named Ashen Scales to contrast Edelgard BUT NOPE WE GOT THE DLC AND AS MUCH AS I LOVE YURI- AAAAA.
This will be the first and last A/N so don’t worry about these long ass paragraphs happening again.

fe3h revalink au. i don't actually have a full-fledged thought for this one but i'm imagining byleth!link and edelgard!revali, and the [FE3H SPOILERS] scene where you kill edelgard in the verdant wind route and the quotes "your path lies across my grave" and the "i wanted... to walk with you..."
revali, who won't back down for what he believes is right even though he didn't foresee how the war he started would destroy the country, and link, who wants to save him but knows that even if revali loves him, he won't back down from his beliefs. revali who begs link to kill him when link gets the edge on him during their final battle, because if link wants to fix this country then it will depend on him taking revali down.
"well, then? claim your victory," revali grunts, barely able to hold himself up with his bow. if link doesn't kill him now, the blood loss will kill revali first. "strike me down. you must!"
"i can't," link whispers, blue eyes wide and teary. it almost catches revali off-guard; he's never seen link break like this. link, who is always stony-faced and expressionless, whose eyes are now full of tears, the grip on his sword with the barest tremble. this isn't how he wanted to see link cry for the first time... "revali..."
"even now," revali says, gritting his teeth, "people across this land are killing each other. if you do not act now, this conflict..." he winces, the pain flaring all over his torso. link twitches, nearly jumping forward to reach for revali. "... will go on, forever."
he looks up at link. the little hylian is crying freely now, face morphed into a look of anguish. revali's gut tightens, in pain, in regret. he wishes it wouldn't have to end like this, but he refuses to back down now. it's too late for him anyway...
"your path... lies across my grave," revali barely manages. "it is time for you to find the courage to walk it."
"no, revali," link whispers, tears continuing to pour down his cheeks. "we can fix this together, just come with me, please—"
"if i must fall," revali cuts him off, breathing heavily and shutting his eyes, "then let it be by your hand." he forces himself to open his eyes again and look up at link. "please, link. this is the only way."
"i won't," link says, wiping furiously at his eyes. he staggers forward towards revali, his sword falling from his grip as he kneels before revali and cradles his face. "this can't be the only way, we can still save hyrule together, our paths can still be parallel, please, revali—"
but it's too late. revali supposes he still fell by link's sword; this final battle between him and link did a number on him, and there wouldn't have been any way he could survive it with the amount of injuries he has sustained, regardless. link was always an incredible fighter. he wraps an arm around link and pulls him close, inhaling the scent of his once-lover for the last time. link throws his arms around revali's neck, desperately holding him tight.
then, revali pulls away and presses his lips to link's forehead. "i wanted... to walk with you..." he whispers, exhaling finally and his grip loosening. with link in his arms as he takes his final breath, revali is finally at peace now.
link realizes a second too late that those were revali's last words, revali's last breath, revali's last embrace, and he screams. link howls and shouts and wails, holding revali's body, not caring that his armor is seeping with blood or that his body is heavy and sore. he begs, calling for mipha or zelda to heal, for anyone to help, for the goddesses not to take his revali from him.
link sobs, holding revali's body tightly rocking back and forth. he did this, he killed revali. and perhaps it was a necessary evil, for the good of hyrule and to end the war, but it's an evil link will never be able to live with, the blood of his lover forever staining and burning his hands with sin.
