My Wanda | Wanda Maximoff
Pairing: Dark!Mafia Wanda Maximoff x Fem!Reader Warnings: brief mention of murder, anal play, tears, cold Wanda Word Count: 2k Genre: smut Summary: Y/N just wants Wanda’s love again.
AN: I’m not very good writing dark characters so she’s not very dark, I’m sorry! I tried my best.
• Kinktober Masterlist •
I knew the Maximoff twins long before Wanda was in any sort of position of power. I knew them back when they were working for whoever would give them a chance. He was a thief and she was a conman - and they were both exceptional at what they did.
When they started their own mini empire, working for themselves and making their own connections, another budding family in New York caught wind and tried to put an end to them and their ambitious new family.
Pietro, Wanda’s twin brother was killed one night while he was out on a job - a job that Wanda later found out was a hit and Pietro had been set up. I comforted her the night she found out about her brother, her only living blood in this world. That’s when she became serious about the business. She changed that night, her eyes not holding the same spark as they used to, her smile never really reaching her eyes anymore.
She took solace in me, and slowly I fell in love with her. We became lovers, but nothing more on Wanda’s end, as she felt it was too dangerous to get close to anyone ever again.
She quickly found respect once she found out who killed her brother, and took her time killing them in return, torturing them and giving them the pain she had felt tenfold.
She came home that night covered in blood and that was the first time I had seen her cry since Pietro’s death. I washed her as she sobbed, mourning her brother and her innocence.
She had two men that would do anything for her, that would lay down and die for her if she so asked them to. Their names were Dimitri and Leo, two boys she had known in the orphanage back in Sokovia and took under her wing when she and Pietro started their own family. They helped her murder the man that killed her brother and they stayed by her side, no matter what.
Dimitri and Leo were loyal, like guard dogs, and she made sure they were also loyal to me. I felt uncomfortable having one, or both of them, following me as I went shopping or if I just went out for a walk, but Wanda demanded it. She wouldn’t allow someone else to be taken from her.
Even though she wouldn’t commit to me, she would never look at another person the way she looked at me. I knew she loved me, but she was afraid, and I loved her enough to know that and be patient with her.
But the more power she gained, the more hardened she became. I had to remind myself constantly that she loved me, even when she fucked me. She became rough with me, almost callous, using my body simply for her own pleasure.
“My beautiful malyshka,” she purred as she thrusted her strap deeper into my mouth. “You take my cock so well.”
I held back tears, bobbing my head up and down her long, thick shaft. She had my hair wrapped in her fist as she pulled me down into her length. I nearly gagged as I took it to the hilt, doing anything and everything to please her.
I knew she got off on the power she had over me, and to be honest, I also got off on the immense amount of power she had. To an extent, I enjoyed being used by her, but afterwards I just wanted to be treated sweetly, kindly, and with love.
She pulled me off of her cock, my spit trailing from my tongue to the tip, my eyes glistening with unshed tears as she tilted my head up to look at her.
She was completely naked in front of me, save for the strap secured tightly around her hips, and I was mesmerized by the sight of her.
Her brown locks fell past her shoulders, barely brushing along the top of her perfect breasts, her thick lips parted ever so slightly, her green eyes, deep and dark, stared down at me, and her hands, adorned with silver rings, gripped at me as she helped me up from my kneeling position.
“Detka,” she whispered as she ran her hands along my hips, my skin forming goosebumps at her touch. “You know how hard work has been lately.” I nodded, knowing she had stayed up late nights trying to solve problems or help people instead of sleeping. “I need to just … use you. Okay? Just for tonight.”
My eyes were round like saucers as she turned me around, my back pressed against her front, her cock pushing into my ass and her lips on my neck. I almost gave in immediately at the feel of her against me, holding me against her and her teeth gently digging into my sensitive flesh.
I let out a moan as she pushed us towards the bed, my hands going out to catch myself as we landed on the soft mattress, her weight pressing me down.
Her hips moved against my own and I gripped at the sheets below me, my body trembling with need. She raised herself up off of me and spread my cheeks, letting the silicone dick slip between them as she rutted against me.
“W-Wanda,” I whimpered softly, turning my head to look at her. “What -”
“Shh, malyshka, shh.” I trusted her, but sometimes she was unpredictable and that made me nervous. “I’m gonna take good care of you.”
My heart fluttered in my chest at her words as she thrust herself against me, her fingers digging into my hips. She pulled me up to meet her thrusts and I pushed myself up on my elbows so I could grind my hips into hers.
“Oh, malyshka,” she cooed, “You’re being such a good girl for me.”
I bit my lip as she slid the cock down between my legs, letting the tip hit my clit.
I let out a whimpering cry as she slid into me, my cunt milking her desperately as she began fucking me. I could feel her eyes burning into me, watching me as I took every inch of her.
“You’re perfect - fuck - look at that pussy.”
“Wanda …” I moaned, blushing furiously when I realized she was admiring me so intimately.
The squelching sound of my pussy taking her strap was loud in the quiet room, the only other sound was the squeaking of the bed as she pounded into me.
She slapped my ass roughly and I pressed my face into the bed sheets, stifling my cries as she continued to spank me.
“I want to hear you,” she said, her accent thick. “I want to hear you crying for me.”
She smacked me again and I jerked, my hands balled up into fists to try and control my emotions.
“Did you hear me?” Her hand came down on my ass hard and I cried out, my pussy throbbing and my body aching.
“Yes, ma’am!” I cried, my tears falling onto the sheets below me.
“Again.” She demanded with another slap.
“Yes, ma’am!”
She admired my reddened cheeks, smiling as she heard me crying softly beneath her. She knew I loved it; I loved being treated like this.
She pulled out of me, leaving me wanting as she flipped me over onto my back. I hissed as my ass met the cool bed sheets and she hummed at the sound. She took hold of the cock and slapped it against my aching cunt, my whole body jerking towards her at the feel.
“So sensitive. Are you close, detka?”
I nodded and she smiled down at me, reaching up to pinch one of my nipples between her talented fingers.
I cried out softly, my hands on either side of my head, knowing very well that she loved when I showed my submission to her like that. I wouldn’t touch her or myself unless I had her permission to.
She tugged and twisted my nipple until it was red with abuse, then brought her head down and sucked the other one into her mouth, her teeth scraping along my hardened bud roughly.
I could feel myself getting closer and closer to release with everything she did to me. If only she would touch my pussy …
She bit down into my nipple and I cried out, my body pressing up into hers. She lifted her head up, a string of saliva hanging from her lips, and smiled at me.
“We need to get these beautiful nipples pierced.” She brought her hand up to my wet breast and slapped it. “Imagine how sensitive you’ll be then.”
I shuddered, my mind beginning to get fuzzy at her words. I’d let her do whatever she wanted to me. She dressed me, she fed me, she fucked me, I was hers to do with as she pleased.
She licked her lips and propped herself up, gripping the cock between her legs and rubbing it along my puffy slit, my wetness spreading all along my thighs.
“What a mess you made.” She hummed softly. “I’ll have to clean you up when I’m done with you.”
I could feel my legs trembling as she slid the cock towards my hole, slight panic setting in when I realized she intended to fuck my ass.
“Relax,” she said as she inched it in, my whole body tensing as she forced herself into my ass. “Relax.”
“W-Wanda,” I whimpered. “I can’t …”
“You will.” She grunted as she continued to slide her slippery cock inside of me.
It felt like fire as she slid, at least half of it, in and out of my ass. I grabbed at the sheets, my jaw falling slack as it started to feel somewhat good. It still hurt, but Wanda managed to make anything feel pleasurable after a while.
She reached her free hand down to play with my clit and my eyes fell shut at the feel, my climax approaching rapidly.
“I’m gonna cum inside your ass.” She groaned, her hips jerking as her hand moved to the base of the cock, ready to squeeze the balls to squirt her cum into me.
I came at her words, at her touch, at the feel of her inside me, and suddenly she let the cock spurt its cum into me, heightening my high. I cried out softly, my hips rising to meet her thrusts as she fucked the cum into my ass.
She leaned down towards me, wrapping her free hand around my throat and looked into my eyes as she continued to fuck me. She squeezed slightly and I couldn’t help but moan at the feeling of my airway being constricted. If she killed me now, I wouldn’t mind. I would still love her more than words could ever say.
Her hand slid from the cock to my clit and I tensed underneath her, my whole body humming with arousal.
“Give me one more, malyshka, just one more.”
I felt myself cumming again, white hot pleasure washing over me as I clenched around nothing.
“God, I wish I had a cock so I could feel this tight pussy squeeze the cum right out of me.”
I whimpered softly as two of her fingers slid into me, feeling my walls clench around her.
“Yes, just like that,” she mused softly, thrusting her fingers into me gently. “So fucking tight.”
“Wanda,” I whispered. “Kiss me.”
She looked into my eyes and for a brief moment I could see her love for me in them, but then they darkened and she pulled away from me.
“Get cleaned up and get dressed.” She said as she stood from the bed, unhooking the strap from around her hips. “I’ve got a meeting in an hour and I need you to stay out of sight.”
I sighed, rubbing my face with my hands as I held back tears. She could fuck me like she hated me, but she couldn’t even show me that she loved me in private.
“Do you understand?” She asked and I nodded.
“Yes.” I whispered sadly.
She loved me, but she couldn’t be in love with me. She could be sweet and gentle with me sometimes, but showing any affection was off limits. Was this how it truly had to be?
I missed the days when she used to kiss me, when she used to be loving and tender with me. I miss my Wanda.

This winter banner gives me so much joy - and for whatever reason this is the only seasonal non-Pass players get to spark on too! Let me count the ways.
For the fourth straight year of Houses winter units, IS really blew their load with all the big picks, leaving them with few high-value options for subsequent years.
By contrast, this is the second seasonal to feature exactly one Engage unit, so they're being very careful to save those up for the long haul. I have no idea if this will hurt Yunaka's chances of taking CYL as has been so heavily predicted, but then I'm fairly indifferent on that subject. It wouldn't surprise me to see Engage units gradually take over this seasonal slot and/or one of the summer banners since Houses is running so low for both.
Duo Byleths with m!Byleth leading alongside the solo house leaders is just one of those things that's guaranteed to please no one.
Gear up for the fourth(?) year of AHR Edelwank. Will the results be the exactly the same as in previous years? ...Eh, probably.
I never got summer Dimitri, but now I can spark for this version which is almost certainly better anyway. I do like distant/close counter units.
Claude not even making it onto the banner and just appearing as an archer again while the other two switch weapon types is so typical of how he's always treated as the most expendable of the three. Poor guy. At least he can say he got two seasonals this year.

WIP Wednesday
Excerpt from: The Wolf Lord
“I warned you,” Dimitri rose his voice. “There is no space in my army for stragglers.”
The maiden yelped, turning to look at him with terrified eyes. “I— um— I was—”
“I don’t care,” Dimitri took the paddle from the maiden’s weak grip. “Leave.”
“B-but…!” The maiden’s eyes filled with tears. “Please! Give me another chance!”
“No,” Dimitri scowled. “You’re wasting my time, now go.”
“This isn’t fair!” The maiden yelled, “I didn’t do it on purpose!”
“Once you make a mistake, there is no undoing it. Reflect on that on your way home.”
The maiden clenched her fists, her body shaking. Her face was twisted with rage and anger. “I… I can’t let it end here. I need to get my revenge…!”
If Dimitri had some semblance of pity, he would have been concerned for her. But instead, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat impressed. Those dark and hateful emotions bubbling up within her were not aimless. She could hone her own rage to make it useful.
“Do you truly wish to avenge your brother’s murder?” He asked.
The girl looked up at him. Her once-terrified face now a scowl of rage, anger and bitterness.
“That’s good,” something almost like a smile passed by his lips. “Let’s see how determined you are.”
He rose the paddle. The maiden didn’t wince. She looked at him head-on, her rage stronger than the fear of being struck down by a fearsome foe.
He lowered the paddle— on the soaking clothes. Both of them were soaked, but he kept on mercilessly beating the cloth until all the dirt was smacked out of the fiber. Which, thanks to his strength, didn’t take long.
“Never lose that rage. Use it,” he handed the paddle handle-first to the maiden. “Not just for your revenge, but for your other chores as well. Now get to work.”

Tournament Two
Congratulations to Esther Sinclair for winning her mini-sudden-death round and being the first NPC to progress to Tournament Two. My inbox is open so PLEASE keep submitting. I've actually had very few submissions so far so if you have been holding out don't delay.
Submissions close at 8pm BST on the 24th of September. The new series will be posted on the 1st of October to give me more time to actually put the brackets together.
Rules:
Any NPC from any Campaign, Sidequest or One-Shot up to and including Mentopolis is allowed.
Familiars / animal companions are accepted
NPCs from this tournament CAN be sumitted. However they must have lost in ROUND ONE. For example Nurse Stitchnit who fought valiently but lost by less than 1% to Citrina Rocks. If you are unsure there is a list of eligible losers under the cut.
All sumbissions should include propaganda. This is not essential but where propaganda is not provided I have to make it up and while I try not to show bias this is much harder for NPCs I don't know / like.
Anyone can submit as many NPCs as they like, there is not a limit on how many can be submitted by a single person.
A submission of any NPC who won Round One but lost later on WILL NOT COUNT.
However, they have a chance at redemption in the Sudden Death Mini Rounds which are being uploaded throughout September. See here for more details on those

a post containing all the Dimilix-related dialogue in Three Hopes.
I don’t think anybody expected Hopes to have as much dmlx content as it ended up having but boy it sure does have content, so, enjoy! Use it for fic referencing or converting people whatever you like :D
(If I’ve missed anything or if you notice any mistakes, please send me an ask / DM / etc and I’ll look into it!)
Prologue: A Chance Encounter
Dimitri camp dialogue, introducing Felix (if asked to by Shez):
Dimitri: Felix is the son of Duke Fraldarius. He has a sharp wit and an even sharper tongue, but he’s a good person at his core. I can attest to that. He has always admired strength above all else in a fighter. I imagine the two of you will make fast friends.
Felix camp dialogue:
Felix: You’re that new merc, right? Shez? The boar says you had some skill—you’ll have to give me a demonstration before we head out.
Dialogue options:
1. Agree enthusiastically. [Felix support raised]
Shez: Deal. I can clear some time before sunrise.
Felix: Looking forward to it.
2. Refuse his offer.
[...]
3. Ask who “the boar” is.
Shez: Sorry, “the boar”?
Felix: Don’t worry about it. He’s not your problem.
Chapter 2: Three Houses
Story scene: A Class of Blue Lions:
Felix: Enough chatter. You’re a mercenary, right? How’s your swordsmanship? You must have some skill if the boar here gave you passing marks.
Chapter 3: Crisis in Fhirdiad
Story scene: Apprehensions of Unrest:
Felix: Hold on. What did you say?
Dimitri: I’ve only just heard the news, so I’m a bit hazy on the finer points... But it seems my uncle has seized control of the capital and declared war on House Fraldarius. All signs point to him wanting to stamp the line out entirely.
Shez: That’s Felix’s family, right? They’re one of the Kingdom’s leading houses. What does the royal family gain from eliminating them?
Dimitri: I’d wager it has to do with House Fraldarius supporting my claim to the throne. [...] My uncle claims House Fraldarius is attempting to install me as their puppet. As such, he issued a written appeal to the western lords to help him “rescue me from the duke’s foul clutches,” as he puts it.
Felix: In what cruel world would our noble house take the reins of a boar like you?
Dimitri: Don’t ask me— it’s his pretext.
Felix + Sylvain camp dialogue:
Sylvain: Hey, cheer up, Felix. Your dad’s getting worried. I know how unpleasant it feels to have people make weird claims about your family.
Felix: Don’t act as if you have it all figured out. That sort of thing would never bother me.
Dialogue options:
1. Ask why he’s upset.
Shez: So if that’s not what’s bothering you, why do you look like you just got punched in the gut?
Felix: Because a certain someone’s indecision is making me sick to my stomach.
2. Doubt his denial.
Shez: Really? ‘Cause I think most people would take issue with their family getting pinned with a crime they hadn’t actually committed.
Felix: Ridiculous as it might sound, that’s what politics is all about these days. There’d be no end to the anger if you got frustrated at every slight to your family name. Still, you can hardly blame me if a certain someone’s indecision is getting on my nerves.
[Converge]
Sylvain: Look, if you’re that concerned about His Highness, you should just say something to him.
Felix: Hmph. Why should the job of cheering him up fall to me?
Story scene: Unrest in Fhirdiad:
Felix: You’re our commander, but you look like you’re heading for a funeral. Could you maybe try not being so insufferable?
Dimitri: Apologies for my demeanor. I’ve more than a few things on my mind.
CG Cutscene: Final Goodbye:
Felix: Something you feel like saying?
Shez: No...
Felix: All traitors get put to the sword. It’s his duty, as king.
Story scene: Determination:
Dimitri: Rodrigue will abandon his title and work with Dedue to restore harmony between our people. I’m not asking him for his life. Rather, he offered to spend it to set things to rights. [...] My time at the Officers Academy was a valuable experience, but I belong here now. Obviously Felix won’t be able to return either. Have him come to me later so I can deliver the news and an apology.
Rodrigue: I’ve already had a word and told him what must be done. You’ve no need to apologize.
Dimitri: Yes, I have. [...]
Chapter 4: To War!
Story scene: Deliberate and Decisive:
Felix: Pardon my lateness, Your Majesty.
Dimitri: You needn’t worry, Felix. I know your duties are many. Though I’m afraid we could not wait for you to begin the discussion.
Felix: This is about the Empire’s declaration of war against the Central Church, yes?
[...]
Margrave Gautier: War will always come at one point or another, and some degree of suffering is purely inevitable. You know this as well as I, Viscount.
Viscount Elidure: You dare speak of suffering, do you? When the blaze of war will not scorch your lands in the north as it does ours?
Felix: I would normally agree that those of us from the northern territories should hold less sway in this discussion. But if Garreg Mach were to fall, the warfront would not halt in the west. Your Majesty, what of House Rowe, or Galatea? Or the others in the south?
Dimitri: Not a word from Count Rowe as it stands, but I did receive a missive from Count Galatea. It read, “My people are not fools enough to rejoice in the surrender of their territories to invaders.” “There is no morality in turning our backs on the institution at the very foundation of our lives. We must support the church as they have supported us.”
Gustave: Your Majesty, we owe a great debt to the Central Church for their role in quelling the uprising two years ago. To not repay such generosity in kind would risk weakening the trust of your vassals.
Felix: And if that happens, we might find ourselves right back in the same mess as before. They lack the Crest of Blaiddyd, but there’s no small number of nobles who might crawl out of the woodwork claiming royal blood. The Kingdom’s already seen the turmoil and division such claimants can bring after the death of King Klaus.
Viscount Elidure: But Duke Fraldarius! Surely we are better served attempting to head off the very real and imminent war at hand instead of debating hypothetical unrest?
Dimitri: I don’t want my people to suffer the pain of conflict. But does anyone here really think the Empire will simply stop if we appease their every demand?
[...]
Felix: Ngh.
Dimitri: Do you have something to add, Duke Fraldarius?
Felix: Not really, no. I was just wondering how long we were planning to continue this tedious charade. The question’s simple: do we hand over our kingdom and subject ourselves to Imperial rule, or not?
Dimitri: I believe the Margrave has been quite clear as to what will happen if we give in to the Empire’s demands. We’ve all been informed of the rapid reformation their region has undergone. Many aspects of which I admire, I’m not ashamed to say. But an old, stubborn land like ours isn’t suited for such tempestuous change. Radical new freedoms are not what the people of Faerghus need right now. They need stability. Steady improvement in their daily lives. And real, lasting change can only come from a solid foundation.
Felix: Sounds like Your Majesty has made up his mind, then. Just say the word and we’ll leap into action.
Dimitri: Ahem. The Holy Kingdom of Faerghus will hereby offer asylum to the Curch of Seiros. Everyone, sharpen your blades and prepare for the battles ahead.
Story scene: Conspiracy and Redemption:
Dimitri: I will bear the weight of the Kingdom’s sins. If slaughtering a hundred foes means bringing salvation to a thousand of our own, I will do it.
Rodrigue: As you wish, Your Majesty. And if I may... try not to torment yourself so much.
[Rodrigue, Dedue, and Gustave leave; Felix enters]
Felix: Ah, how far our proud king has fallen. You sounded utterly vicious just now.
Dimitri: What do you want, Felix?
Felix: Oh, not much. I just thought catching a glimpse of your haggard face might put a smile on mine. I knew that playing the part of a cool-headed leader would be too much for you. But all this scheming, this calculation. It doesn’t suit you. Why don’t you just give it a rest already?
Dimitri: You think too highly of me. This is who I am, Felix. I’ve never been anything more than a bloody demon on the path of revenge.
Felix: ...
Dimitri: I stand here today to lift the burdens of all who perished before me. To see that those who bear guilt for their deaths are held accountable. I will expose whoever I must, slay whoever I must to see my task through to the end. There is no place for mercy within these walls. And if it affects the safety of my people, then that’s all the more reason to strike now.
Felix: And here I thought you were finally starting to pull yourself together.
Dimitri: I snuffed out my uncle’s life with my own two hands. As king and as general, I’ve killed countless more. I looked on as nearly everyone I held dear perished. I am the one who must take responsibility for their deaths. So rest easy, Felix. The weight of my atonement will not fall on your shoulders.
Felix: Hmph. No point in trying to reason with a boar. Enough of that, though. The city seems especially spirited today. Is something going on?
Dimitri: Ah, yes. Lady Rhea and the others from the church are making an excursion to the capital. I suggest you join in on the festivities before you go. It does the heart good to see our people smile.
Chapter 5: Skirmish in the Fog
Felix base camp dialogue:
Felix: Back when I was 14 or 15, the boar and I went out west to help quell the rebellion. That’s when I witnessed the beast inside him. I know exactly what I saw. Tell me, do you think you can imagine the look on his face when he slew the enemy commander?
Dialogue options:
1. Say that you can.
Shez: Yeah, I think so. Given how you’re talking about it, I’m guessing he smiled or something?
Felix: That’s right. I’ve known him a long time, but I had no idea he was capable of that.
2. Say that you can’t.
Shez: We’re talking about Dimitri, right? I have no idea. He’s so detached when he strikes down enemies now.
Felix: Then I’ll tell you. He smiled. He stood over the enemy commander’s corpse and smiled, drunk on his own bloodlust.
[Converge]
Felix: I know now that the commander was deeply involved in the Duscur incident. It’s not wrong to want revenge. But when I look at him now... It makes my stomach turn.
Story scene: The Bandit:
Dimitri: You did well, Miklan. I will remember the deeds you’ve performed here today.
Miklan: Pah. You know as well as I that  I only did it for the money. Your money.
Felix: What are you playing at, boar? This washed up bandit doesn’t deserve to look at our army, let alone be a commander in it.
Dimitri: It’s a decision I made in collaboration with the margrave. Two years ago, after I ascended the throne. I ordered Gustave to capture him, made him swear his allegiance to the royal family, and gave him a unit of soldiers to command.
Felix: Spare me the details of how you did it. What I want to know is why.
Dimitri: My army was lacking leaders. We needed capable fighters to fill in the gaps. As for Miklan here, the margrave himself has instructed him in all manner of military tactics. I’ve seen his prowess with my own two eyes.
Felix: ...
Dimitri: In the centuries since the time of King Loog, Crests and Relics have kept Faerghus safe. We’ve come to depend on that power to protect us from outside attacks—and grown all too complacent in its wake. Naturally, we will take full advantage of our Heroes’ Relics in the battles ahead with Adrestia. But we cannot protect our home with Relics alone. If all who could wield them fell, so too would we. The blood of the Heroes is thinner now than ever before. We need men like him among our ranks.
Felix: I don’t doubt the truth of your words. But that’s not the issue here! Do you really think it appropriate to trust a man barely removed from his life as a brigand with the responsibility of command?
[...]
Felix: Let me guess, any means necessary?
Dimitri: I won’t defend it. Though I do see use in such a man. What he did in his time as a bandit was monstrous, I admit that. And I deserve no small amount of judgment for hiving him command in spite of it. But I can’t help but wonder. Perhaps his life could’ve been dramatically different had he only possessed a Crest. Same as the uncle I murdered.
[...]
Felix: I get what you’re trying to do, but you still should’ve talked to us first. This isn’t about who shoulders what blame. It’s a matter of letting us know what you’re thinking.
Dimitri: You’re right, Felix. My apologies.
Chapter 6: Conspiracy in the Air
Felix base camp dialogue:
Felix: Tch. There’s so much that fool neglected to tell us. It really pisses me off. Per usual, I have absolutely no idea what’s rattling around inside his skull. If he thinks he’s the only one who will lose face over this, he’s a greater fool than I gave him credit for. Who knew royalty could be so annoying.
Story scene: A Suspected Invasion:
Shez: You’re really going back to Fhirdiad? After all it took to get us to this point?
Dimitri: I will only be gone for a short while. A month at most, perhaps.
[...]
Felix: Explain to them, boar. This is a threat only us northerners understand.
Dimitri: Very well. A group of soldiers from the Sreng Region has broken through the defenses in Gautier territory and makes for the capital.
[...]
Dimitri: As for you, Duke Fraldarius, I leave command of the army to you in my stead. If the envoy does arrive... Well, the appropriate course of action will be in your hands. Just remember, the soldiers stationed here are not mere soldiers—they’re Kingdom citizens. And as such we have a duty to protect every last one of them. If they’re lost, I will have nothing left... save hollow prayers for the dead.
Felix: Hmph. Fine then.
Dimitri: Please, don’t look at me like that. I know this burden is a heavy one, but I suspect you will lead them better than I.
Chapter 7: The King Awakens
Story scene: The People of the North:
[...]
Felix: Have you any news from the north? What of the capital? And the king?
Kingdom Soldier: Nothing at the time of my departure, I’m sorry to report.
Shez: Guess there’s only one way to find out, then. We should head up there ourselves, Felix.
Kingdom Soldier: The margrave would surely send word if something were to happen at the capital. I imagine we’ll have more clarity on the situation in a few days’ time.
Sylvain: We don’t have a few days. You need to act, Felix, and you need to do it now.
Felix: Ngh... But if we move too rashly, the Imperial forces near the fortress will grow wise to our maneuvers.
Sylvain: As though any of that’ll matter if the king winds up dead. Losing Arianrhod would be the least of our worries then. We’d be trapped in a massive war of succession, and easy pickings for the Empire.
Felix: Even at a distance, that man has an uncanny talent for giving me headaches. Very well. Notify all troops stationed at the fortress, and round up a team of our most elite soldiers. We’re heading north.
Felix base camp dialogue:
Felix: Nothing left save hollow prayers for the dead, huh? Hmph. Whatever. Right now we have to prepare so the enemy doesn’t catch onto what we’re doing. If you spot anyone suspicious, apprehend them immediately. I’ll be keeping an eye out as well. Though I have to say, being a commanding officer is a ton of work. Guess I’m learning the hard way what he has to deal with.
Story scene: A Kingdom Without a King:
Felix: We’ve received a message from Margrave Gautier. It seems there’s an emergency at the capital.
Ingrid: No... I hope His Majesty is safe.
Felix: Cornelia has arrived at the gates of Fhirdiad, leading the combined forces of the western lords. [...] Sounds like they’re outfitted with strange new weapons as well, which they used to threaten the citizens of the capital. And so, our fearless leader surrendered to the enemy to protect the people of Fhirdiad from harm. I’m not sure what’s become of Dedue or my father.
[...]
Dialogue options:
1. Fear for your friends.
[...]
2. Fear for the people of Fhirdiad.
Shez: Strange new weapons? Are the citizens safe?
Felix: I believe so, for the time being. Though that’s mere speculation, or maybe just a feeling. In any case, if these lowlifes so much as thought about harming our people, the boar would break loose and make them pay.
[Converge]
Shez: We head north, Felix. There’s no time to lose.
Felix: Right you are. We make for the capital!
Story scene: The Mission (Azure Gleam):
Kingdom Soldier: I’m pleased to say Lord Rodrigue and Sir Gustave have been confirmed safe as well. [...] I should add, the western lords’ armies aren’t the only forces occupying the capital. There is another, one we can’t identify at present. I doubt even the great Lord Rodrigue and Sir Gustve will be able to hold out much longer.
Shez: Sounds like they’re in a bad spot. We should focus on keeping them safe, right?
Felix: Don’t be too hasty. Why do you think the two of them are causing this uproar in the first place?
Shez: To create a diversion, I know. But I don’t think that means we should just abandon them, either.
Annette: I agree, Felix. I won’t leave my father to die. Besides, I don’t think His Majesty would want us saving him if it meant sacrificing two of his most loyal retainers.
Felix: Fine, we’ll help them if we can. That better?
In-battle dialogue:
Felix: Come on. It’s time to rescue our fool king, and whoever else we find along the way.
[...]
Dedue: Areadbhar belongs in His Majesty’s hands. We must reclaim it.
Kingdom General: Guard that lance with your lives! Don’t let them have it!
[Mission: Defeat the Armored Knights and recover Areadbhar!]
Felix: Makes me sick seeing that thing with the enemy. We’ll wrest it out of their cold, lifeless fingers.
[Upon recovering Areadbhar]
Felix: This lance is a symbol of the Kingdom... and it’s all the boar has left of his father. Let’s bring it back where it belongs.
Dedue: Indeed. To His Majesty.
CG Cutscene: The King’s Fight:
Shez: Dimitri. You OK?
Dimitri: My friends... Why have you come?
Felix: As if we would just leave you here to die.
[Felix offers Dimitri his hand]
Felix: Time to get you out.
Dimitri: I’m afraid that I must stay. You saw what’s happening out there. Should I try to leave, my people’s lives are forfeit.
Felix: So they bind the boar not with chains, but with his utterly unreasonable sense of duty.
Shez: They’re gonna kill you in here, Dimitri!
Dimitri: So be it, then. If my death will keep my people safe—
Dedue: I won’t allow it.
[Dedue arrives with Areadbhar]
Dimitri: Dedue...
[Felix moves aside; Dedue offers Areadbhar to Dimitri]
Dedue: Take it, Your Majesty.
[Dimitri hesitates; Dedue takes Dimitri’s hand in his own and places it on the weapon]
Dedue: Whether it’s duty toward the living or the guilt for all those we have lost... Such burdens are not yours to bear by yourself. We are here to fight by your side, Your Majesty. And so we shall, now and always.
[Dimitri breaks out of the prison, throwing Areadbhar at a group of soldiers]
Felix: Typical boar. Can’t help himself. [To Shez] Hmph. Do try to keep up.
Shez: Back at ya!
Story scene: Burden to Bear:
Dimitri: My apologies. Cornelia would not have escaped were it not for my carelessness. She’s likely fled west i search of refuge with Viscount Mateus. As such, I will march west at once. I will not allow the western territories to go unpunished for this.
Felix: Stop. Just... stop.
Dimitri: Felix?
Felix: I’ve got something to say, boar. And this time, you’re going to listen. Time and time again we’ve tried to get it through your thick skull. We might be your subjects, but we’re your allies first. Yet you still insist on doing every little thing all by yourself. So what is it? Do you lack the ears to hear with? Or do you hear our words and just choose to ignore them?
Ingrid: Felix, that’s enough! I know how you feel, but you need to contain yourself.
Felix: I can’t. Two whole years I’ve bitten my tongue. The fool needs to hear this in the plainest terms possible.
Dimitri: It was I who chose war with the Empire. I who murdered my uncle in cold blood. I who oppressed the western lords. I failed to save the people of Duscur. Failed to save Glenn, and my father. The lives my actions stole from them are mine to atone for. Which I will do by exacting revenge on all who were involved. And by seeing my people safe.
Felix: Hmph.
Dimitri: As for that burden, yes. I believe it is mine to bear alone.
Felix: You truly are a solid-gold fool. One could search the Kingdom high and low and not find another as utterly asinine as you. And the rest of you, don’t just stand there. Speak up.
Mercedes: Well, I know Felix has a strange way of showing it at times... But this is all because he worries about you, Dimitri.
[Felix looks away]
Annette: And it’s not just him, either. We all do!
Dedue: Your Majesty. You know my feelings on this matter. Six years ago, I too watched as nearly everything  I cared about was taken from me. And Felix is no different. He lost his brother that day. This  pain is not yours to shoulder alone.
Ingrid: He’s right, Your Majesty. That is why it is so frustrating to see you act like this.
Sylvain: I can’t say it’s too surprising, though. You’ve always kept everything to yourself, even when you were a little kid. But what you’re going through now... It’s more than one person could possibly manage on their own.
Ashe: Please, Your Majesty. We just want to help. You can trust us.
Shez: Like I said before, all you need to do is ask and I’ll be at the ready. Besides, we’ll all be outta work if you go this alone.
Dedue: We will assist you in whatever we must. Even vengeance.
Dimitri: Thank you. All of you.
Chapter 8: The Blood-Stained Lance
Dimitri camp dialogue:
Shez: … What is it, Dimitri?
Dimitri: Ah… Well, in truth, I spent much of last night getting firmly scolded by Felix. Once he got started, he would not stop… We ended up talking through the night. Much like the old days. In the end, Dedue came into the tent and began arguing with Felix.
Dialogue options:
1. Rejoice in their reconciliation.
Shez: I know things’ve been awkward between you two for a while. I’m glad you were able to reconcile.
Dimitri: Thank you. I am as well.
2. Crack a joke. [Dimitri support raised]
Shez: He gave you a dressing-down, eh? Well you better leave tonight wide-open, because I’ve got a list of complaints myself.
Dimitri: Pardon? Oh, er, yes. I understand. I’d best finish my work while the sun is still high in that case.
Shez: Hah, I’m just pulling your leg. But I guess you’d be the type to take it seriously.
[Converge]
Dimitri: In any case, I am truly sorry to have worried you. What a feckless man I am, ever toiling to no avail. I promise, I will walk alongside everyone else moving forward.
Felix + Dedue camp dialogue:
Dedue: Felix, I wish to speak to you about the part of the Duscur vanguard that’s being sent to House Fraldarius. Do your soldiers have any complaints? I imagine you have thoughts as well.
Felix: Some might be dissatisfied. But I don’t care if they are. I value a warrior’s ability to fight. Things like where they’re from don’t matter to me. And to that end, there are many competent fighters among the Duscur soldiers and they all have high morale. They make for good training partners, and we can all learn a great deal from their techniques, and... What? You got a problem? Speak up.
Dedue: Not at all. I was just thinking that His Majesty must find it reassuring to have a confidant like you.
Felix: Huh? Well, I didn’t expect to hear that... Whatever. You’re free to say what you want.
Paralogue (Dedue, Felix, Ingrid)—Story scene: Wildflowers for the Future: Part 2:
Shez: Might be good to…you know. Take in the scenery. Maybe think about your brother.
Felix: No thanks. Remembering the past is important, but the present gives me all the direction I need. Namely, the duty to protect the same things Glenn did before me.
Dialogue options:
1. Ask if he’s referring to his lands.
Shez: You mean Fraldarius territory itself?
Felix: No. Well, yes. Obviously I have a duty to protect my home, but my brother didn’t really do that. I mean the future of the Kingdom itself.
2. Ask if he’s referring to Dimitri.
Shez: You mean Dimitri?
Felix: More or less. My brother gave everything to protect him, but only because he was protecting the future of Faerghus itself.
[Converge]
Felix: Which that fool will probably try to shoulder all on his own, so I guess they’re pretty much the same thing at this point. Anyway, keep that to yourself—and don’t you dare tell the boar.
Dialogue options:
1. Promise to hold his secret.
Shez: Sure thing.
Felix: Hmph. Good.
2. Shout it out to the world.
Shez: C'mon, why’d you have to say that? Now all I wanna do is run around telling everyone!
Felix: I’d prefer if you didn’t mock me.
[Converge]
Felix: ... You know, I don’t really care much for flowers, but this? This isn’t so bad.
Chapter 9: Reunion at the Fortress City
Story scene: Temporary Retreat:
Dedue: We must treat your wounds, Your Majesty. They will only worsen without proper rest.
Dimitri: Don’t worry about me.
[...]
Dimitri: And if we suppose Cornelia was party to Thales and his dark schemes, her actions become all the more explicable. I alone must bring light to this darkness.
Felix: You’re doing it again. You don’t hold a monopoly on revenge, you know. Or on truth-seeking, for that matter.
Ingrid: I need to know what happened, too. I need to face the reality of my past.
Annette: I’m in, too. I want my father to finally have closure.
Shez: I know I don’t have the same kinda shared history all of you do... But I do share your desire to know the truth. Both about myself, and everything else.
Dimitri: Yes. Yes, you’re right. Forgive me. For the time being... Ngh.
Felix: Dimitri.
Chapter 11: Reprisal
Story scene: A Just Cause:
[...]
Felix: It doesn’t matter what any of us say, boar. You know what needs to be done. We’ll have plenty of time to grieve once this is all over. So stick to the plan and don’t look back.
Dedue: We stand here because we believe in you, Your Majesty.
Dimitri: I see. I’m heartened to know I have your trust.
Story scene: Kill or Be Killed:
[...]
Rodrigue: When the sun sets on this war, only our king will be fettered by the vile moniker of invader.
Felix: Don’t put this all on him.
Rodrigue: And it will fall on you to support him through it, Felix. You understand, yes? That is your duty as the Shield of Faerghus, and descendant of the hero Fraldarius.
Felix: Hmph. Obviously.
Story scene: Entrusting the Future:
Shez: I’ve gotta ask—is Dimitri really that much like his dad?
Rodrigue: You would hardly be able to tell them apart were they in the same room now. Though Lambert did have a somewhat shorter temper. Still, they’re birds of a feather compared to my son and I. The two of us are as different as the blackest night and the brightest day.
Dialogue options:
1. Disagree with him.
Shez: I dunno, I think you’re pretty similar. Like, you’re both the first to take the initiative when something important needs doing.
Rodrigue: That’s enough to make this old man’s cheeks burn. Make sure you share that opinion with Felix as well.
Rodrigue: I suppose he is quite like me, though mostly in ways I had hoped to avoid.
2. Agree with him.
Shez: Yeah, you’re really not very similar at all. Your looks aside, of course.
Rodrigue: If you’re wondering where his stubbornness came from, that was entirely his mother.
Rodrigue: That said, he has come to resemble me over the years, though mostly in ways I had hoped to avoid.
[Converge]
Shez: Meaning what?
Rodrigue: He can’t live without some great purpose in life urging him forward. There is no peace in such an existence—I know because I’m the same way. As Lambert’s right hand, I devoted every waking moment to serving him. Supporting him. And when he was lost, so too was my reason for being. I had no choice but to search for something else to propel me forth. In the end—and after much consideration—I chose to devote myself anew to Lambert. To seeing through the promise I had made him.
Chapter 12: A Trick of the Goddess
Felix + Rodrigue base camp conversation:
Rodrigue: I will be overseeing our main base’s defense, per our discussion with His Majesty. Which means I won’t be able to accompany all of you. Do try to not slow His Majesty down, Felix.
Felix: Please. Me, slow him down? I’ll be the one dragging him to the enemy’s door.
Rodrigue: Haha! I’m certain His Majesty would find that most reassuring. I look forward to seeing what you will accomplish, Felix.
Felix: Hmph. You’re the one who needs to keep his ego in check. Try not to embarrass yourself, old man.
In-battle dialogue: [Only if Shez pursued Byleth]
Dimitri: The Ashen Demon has fled! Should we not give chase?
Kingdom General: I bear a report from Lord Rodrigue, Your Majesty! Enemy reinforcements are approaching our base!
Felix: That’s not good. But we can’t afford to let up now.
Dimitri: Indeed... Felix and I will go. That will be more efficient than dividing up our entire army.
CG Cutscene: Sacrifice: [Only if Jeralt was killed]
Dimitri: You should be more careful, Felix.
[Dimitri offers Felix his hand; Felix takes it. Dimitri pulls Felix up.]
Felix: Hmph. What do you know of caution? I guess this is it, then.
Dimitri: So it would seem.
Rodrigue: Your Majesty! It’s good to see you safe.
Dimitri: Ah! And you, Rodrigue.
Rodrigue: Well, Felix? I trust you’ve been keeping a watchful eye on him?
Dimitri: I’m afraid there’s no watching out for my recklessness.
Felix: Now you admit it.
[Not subtitled:] (Felix: We need you in one piece. [Not audible]—the enemy lines all by yourself—
Dimitri: By myself? You were there every step of the way!)
Rodrigue: See, Lambert? Just like when we were their age. All right. The others are waiting. We wouldn’t want them to worry about...
[Sothis-possessed Byleth stabs Rodrigue in the back; Felix charges at them]
Dimitri: You’ll pay for this!
[Camera pans to the Aegis Shield, then Areadbhar]
Byleth: The Steadfast... and the Vigorous... You would offer them as tribute?
[Byleth resists Sothis’ influence]
Byleth: Again... you resist me?
[Byleth breaks free and runs off; Felix looks back at Rodrigue]
Felix: No!
Rodrigue: Not exactly the way I thought I’d meet my end, but... I can only hope that... I served you well.
Dimitri: Don’t say that! We’ll get you help.
Rodrigue: Protect them, Felix... His Majesty... and the Kingdom...
Felix: I swear that I will.
Rodrigue: Lambert... Glenn... Forgive me...
Story scene: The Vow: [Only if Jeralt was killed]
Shez: ...
Dimitri: What are you doing up at this hour? You should head back to your tent—we have an early start tomorrow.
Shez: I could say the same to you. I know you’re busy and all, but you need rest.
Dimitri: As pitiful as it may sound, burying myself in work is the only way I can find peace in times such as these. The moment I close my eyes, I’m greeted by nothing but thoughts of Rodrigue.
Shez: Dimitri... I’m sorry. It was all my fault.
Dimitri: You needn’t blame yourself. Felix and I were right there. We could do little more than watch while his life was taken from him. And of course, we never would have found ourselves in such a position had my judgment been better.
Shez: Still, defeating the Ashen Demon has always been my responsibility. I was a fool to think we could settle things without fighting them, and Rodrigue lost his life to that foolishness. But I won’t make the same mistake again. I will defeat the Ashen Demon, mark my words.
Dimitri: That fiend is my enemy, too. And everyone else feels the same. Wasn’t it you who taught me not to bear all my burdens alone? Now go get some sleep. I’m sure you’re tired.
Shez: Right. Thanks, Dimitri.
[Shez leaves]
Dimitri: You should know I don’t take kindly to eavesdropping, Felix.
Felix: I should’ve kept quiet. You know, such talk would kill our morale if our soldiers caught wind of it.
Dimitri: Thankfully, it is a secret to all... save prowlers like you.
Felix: Hmph. I’m just here to check you’re not making things worse.
Dimitri: How much worse could it get? My poor leadership sent Rodrigue to his death. He never intended to sacrifice his life like that.
Felix: You’re as thick as ever. Yes, I’m sure my father regretted dying in such a way.
Dimitri: ...
Felix: But not because he wasn’t ready to go. If anything, he was already looking for a fitting place to die. His one regret would be never getting to see the new Faerghus his beloved king created.
Dimitri: I...
Felix: Which is why I’ll be taking his place by your side. You need to win this war—not just for today’s Kingdom, but for tomorrow’s. Only then will his dream finally come true.
Dimitri: Felix...
Felix: It’s funny. The two of us staring at the stars on a cold night like tonight brings back memories.
Dimitri: You mean when we got snowed in on the mountains. I remember it well. I thought that evening would be our last. Until Rodrigue and Glenn found us huddled together amidst the frost, that is.
Felix: Worst scolding I ever got.
Dimitri: ...
Felix: Well, I doubt they’d begrudge us a few tears tonight, at least.
Dimitri: No, I imagine not.
Chapter 13: Clash of Torment
Sylvain base camp conversation:
Sylvain: His Majesty and Felix have really risen to the occasion. 10 years ago they were squabbling over who broke whose sword. Now look at them. One’s a king and the other’s a duke. They’re fighting at each other’s side, issuing orders to other lords. I won’t lie, it’s still hard to believe. Maybe it’s time I get my act together soon.
Felix + Dimitri base camp conversation: [Only if Jeralt was killed] 
Dimitri: Let us move on, Shez. The course of the war will be determined by whether or not we can retake Garreg Mach. The time has come to put an end to this painfully long conflict, as well as avenge those who have fallen.
Felix: ...
Dimitri: I will do my best to cut a path forward for all. I am sure we will accomplish great things. Is something the matter, Felix? You are more reticent than usual.
Felix: Hmph. I just thought you might’ve fallen back into your old bad habits after coming here.
Chapter 14: The Absent Emperor
Felix + Dedue base camp conversation:
Dedue: It appears Count Bergliez is now in charge of the Imperial army.
Felix: So I’ve heard. He put up one tough fight in Ailell. Getting past him won’t be easy. He still wishes to be the emperor’s shield, even though he knows that’s going on in the Empire. His sense of duty is admirable.
Dialogue options:
1. He sounds a lot like Dedue. [Dedue support raised]
Shez: A guy who protects his leader no matter what? Reminds me of you, Dedue.
Dedue: You may be right. I would do the same if His Majesty were in a similar situation.
Felix: Hah, I doubt you’d betray him even if he became a ruthless tyrant.
2. He sounds a lot like Felix. [Felix support raised]
Shez: A guy who protects his leader no matter what? Reminds me of you, Felix.
Felix: Hmph. Don’t lump me in with someone like that. I would’ve washed my hands of them and fled a long time ago.
Dedue: I don’t think you’re the kind to make such a decision lightly.
Story scene: Pursuit (Azure Gleam):
Shez: We’ll push our way through— strike everywhere all at once. Whatever traps Duke Aegir’s got for us, we’ll blow straight through ‘em. This isn’t a thinking person’s fight, not now. We’ve got the stronger army, so let’s start acting like it.
Felix: I didn’t realize we had two boars on our side. Though I can’t say I disagree.
Chapter 16 (Bonus): Into the Chasm
In-battle dialogue: 
[Epimenides summons phantoms of the lord’s retainers; for Dimitri, this is either Dedue or Felix]
Edelgard: Hubert!? No. It must be a double.
Dimitri: If so, it’s completely indistinguishable from the real thing. This is vile sorcery indeed.
Phantom!Felix: You swore we would avenge our allies, yet now fraternize openly with their killer!?
Dimitri: You can’t fool me. If it were really you, you would understand.
Chapter 17 (Finale): The End of Tragedy
Story scene: The Final Charge:
Felix: It’s almost time. That’s your cue, Dimitri.
Shez: Yeah, we could all use one of your inspiring speeches to really set the mood.
Dimitri: Right then. [...]
In-battle dialogue:
Felix: No matter what comes at us, I’ll be the one at the boar’s back!
Supports
Dimitri / Felix B:
Dimitri: ...
Felix: How long are you going to keep staring blankly like an idiot? You should eat.
Dimitri: You’re right. My apologies.
Felix: Let me guess, you’re in a tizzy about how best to make use of the church’s forces—or maybe you’re just worried about how our forces will survive the winter. Well, knock it off. A good leader knows when to let their vassals do the worrying for them.
Dimitri: Is that why you left your uncle in charge of House Fraldarius?
Felix: Yes—though I’ve been returning to the territory the moment any issues arise with his governance.
Dimitri: And your mother? Is she in good health? I imagine it’s difficult to manage all the family squabbles on her own.
Felix: Oh, she’s fine—she’s good at that sort of thing. I actually think she likes it.
[If Byleth was not recruited] Dimitri: I would suppose, for now, that she probably feels better when she’s able to keep busy. You could stand to show her a touch more concern, though.
Felix: I suggest you focus on your own issues for once instead of worrying about everyone else.
Dimitri: I’m not sure that’s possible. Oh, but that does remind me, I hear the knights wanted to hold a joint training session.
Felix: Ugh. Forget it. You’ll never change. I’d tell you to stop brooding so much, but I’d be wasting my breath.
Dimitri: I cannot afford to lose this war, Felix. I must protect the Kingdom. I must avenge the fallen. Each day, we draw ever closer to those who pulled the actual strings. I’ve already punished any who knew of the plan and did nothing, as well as a number of middle-rank conspirators… But it isn’t enough. There are still those who must answer for this crime with their lives.
Felix: You are a book with one chapter and no ending. What will you do when you actually have this revenge of yours?
Dimitri: I don’t know. But if I can quell their grief—and their hate—it will be enough.
Felix: Ugh.
Dimitri: Do you hate me, Felix? After all, I saw Glenn die. I watched it and could do…nothing. His end lies on my shoulders. [If Byleth was not recruited] And Rodrigue as well. If I had only put an end to the Ashen Demon, he might still be with us.
Felix: That’s enough. I don’t hate you, OK? You weren’t responsible for any of that. They didn’t die for your sake. They made their own choices of their own free will. Don’t be so conceited.
Dimitri: But surely they didn’t want to die. Yet they did so to protect me. Me. I am undeserving of such sacrifice.
Felix: I told you to quit brooding and eat. Your food’s going to rot if you wait any longer.
Dimitri: Yes, of course…
Dimitri / Felix A:
Dimitri: I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, but I swear I will avenge you. Please just wait a little longer. I will uncover who drove you to your deaths, no matter the cost.
Felix: Dimitri.
Dimitri: Gle— Oh, Felix. It’s you. I’m sorry you had to see that.
Felix: After 20 years, I’ve seen all of you there is to see. Everyone else is asleep—you know that, right? So why are you locked up here in the chapel? Also, what’s with the mumbling?
Dimitri: I suppose there’s little sense in hiding it from you… I suffer from a kind of…waking dream. I see them. I see the people who died on that day, at all hours light and dark. “If the Empire was involved in that incident… If the emperor stood by and gave tacit consent…” “Then give to them the same end. Gouge out their hearts and cleave their heads from their shoulders.” Those are the words the dead scream at me.
Felix: When did this start?
Dimitri: It’s been six years. But I began hearing their voices four years ago, during my first battle. I recognized the enemy general as a man I had seen in Duscur. When I removed his head, the voices…cheered. They laughed. It was as if a terrible pain had finally been lifted from them.
Felix: I think I get what’s happening here. Look, do you really think your father and Glenn and everyone else would be torturing you like that? You’re the one who’s doing this, Dimitri. Not them. You.
Dimitri: Even if that were true, I can never forgive myself.
Felix: Believe me, I know. But it’s your job to lead. If you lose your path, you’ll take everyone else down with you. So try to keep that whole “removing their heads” thing in check, yeah? We can just call it our little secret.
Dimitri: Well then, are you offering to let me unburden my heart to you when the time calls for it?
Felix: Ugh.
Dimitri: You’re the only reason I haven’t descended into utter savagery, you know. So just as Loog had Kyphon and my father had Rodrigue… I would ask that you continue to be my right-hand man.
Felix: Right-hand man, huh? I like the sound of that.
Dimitri: What are you doing?!
Felix: As your new right-hand man, my first act is to haul my restless king back to bed where he belongs.
Dimitri: This is absurd! My feet are dragging on the floor!
Felix: It’s your own fault for being so tall, you sack of muscle.
Dimitri: Heh. Say, do you remember how I once carried you in this way when you twisted your ankle?
Felix: Yeah, turns out lugging folks around is good training—so just cram it and let me finish my workout already.
Dimitri: Yes, of course. Please, carry on.    
Shez / Dimitri B:
Dimitri: Ngh...
Shez: Oh, you’re awake. Don’t worry, it’s only been a few hours.
Dimitri: What... happened? The last I remember, I was training some of our new recruits...
Shez: You got hit by some stray magic. Pretty hard, too.
Dimitri: Yes, that’s right. How could I have let my guard fall so carelessly?
Shez: Probably the exhaustion. You usually sidestep stuff like that no problem. Everybody was really worried about you, though. Dedue and Felix in particular didn’t know what to do with themselves.
Shez / Felix C:
Shez: OK, it’s just... even though you never show it, I can tell you really care about Dimitri and the others.
Felix: Urk!
Shez: You all right there, Felix? There’s no reason to get all choked up over it.
Felix: It’s your fault for saying something so ridiculous.
Shez: Hey, you’re the one who asked. But it’s true, isn’t it? I know I’m right.
Felix: And what proof do you have?
Shez: Well for one, you move way better when you’re fighting alongside them.
Felix: Hmph. That’s only because I’ve known them so long now I can predict their every move. The boar always charges straight into enemy lines, so I have to be ready to cover him. Of course, few can survive one of his mad dashes. But I can’t just leave him alone. The man doesn’t give his own safety a second thought. We don’t coordinate, though. I just stick around to make sure the coast is clear for him to run wild.
Shez / Felix A:
Shez: It’s like you decide on a role for yourself, then do whatever you can to see it through. Of course, the role changes depending on the situation, and who’s fighting beside you. Sometimes you attack, sometimes you defend. It’s incredible just how versatile you are.
Felix: No need for compliments. That’s simply how I was taught to be.
Shez: Really? By who?
Felix: My father. He may prefer a spear or magic, but he’s more than capable with a sword in his hands, too.
Shez: Right. Makes sense it’d be Rodrigue. His weapon of choice might be different, but he adapts himself to the flow of battle just as well as you do. Probably better, actually.
Felix: The style didn’t start with him, though. It’s something the leaders of our house have passed down throughout the ages. House Fraldarius has been the king’s lance and shield for generations. Ever since the time of Kyphon, sworn friend of the great King Loog. At times we’ve been sent to defeat the crown’s enemies. At others, we’ve held back to defend the throne. I admit the style has its uses, idiotic history of blind faith aside.
Shez: Huh. So that’s why you fight the way you do. You’re indispensable, Felix. Not just to Dimitri, but to everyone else, too.
Dedue / Felix B:
Dimitri: Now then, I’d like to hear opinions on the proposed tactics. Personally, I believe it best to gather our forces and attack the stronghold directly, but—
Felix: Ha! Of course the boar wants to rush in headlong. Using a small force to take out the enemy’s base of operations is a far better idea.
Dedue: …
Felix: Do you have something to say, or are you just going to stand there glaring at me?
Dedue: I have nothing to add, no.
Felix: So you’re saying you have no thoughts on it whatsoever? You don’t even agree or disagree — just purely, blissfully neutral.
Dimitri: Enough, Felix. Leave Dedue be and tell me more about this idea of yours.
Felix: We don’t need to kick down the front door here. Sneaking in with a small force and burning their food stores will be more than enough.
Dimitri: Interesting. We’d miss a chance to loot their supplies, but it would free up our main force for other matters. Still, it won’t be easy to slip past their patrols. I’d best take my personal troops and—
Felix: Allow me to take on the role. I trust that’ll be satisfactory.
Dedue: Heh.
Dimitri: Right then. Now that we’ve solidified our strategy, let’s break for a bit.
[Dimitri leaves]
Felix: OK, what is your problem? You’ve been giving me that look ever since we came in here. You clearly have something on your mind, so spit it out.
Dedue: It’s good to have you with us.
Felix: Huh?
Dedue: Few can debate His Majesty without hesitation or ill intent. Our war council proceeded smoothly as a result.
Felix: You make me sound like some kind of troublemaker. I don’t disagree just for the thrill of it, you know.
Dedue: You don’t say.
Felix: Dimitri’s always had a reckless streak. Who knows what kind of mess he’d drag us into if someone wasn’t around to stop him. The guy would gladly throw his life away for someone else given half the chance.
Dedue: You have a point.
Felix: His death would mean the destruction of both Faerghus and the church. So when I try to protect him, what I’m really doing is protecting the Kingdom.
Dedue: Spoken like the Shield of Faerghus.
Felix: What’s with the smile? I told you, if you’ve got something to say, just say it!
Dedue: I know you spoke up for my sake as well. I’m grateful for it.
Felix: Yeah, well, just doing what’s expected. I mean, we’re…you know. Brothers in arms and all that.
[Dimitri returns]
Dimitri: Apologies for the wait. I trust we’re ready to reconvene? You two seemed to be having a lively discussion. May I ask what it was about?
Dedue: Of course, Your Majesty. Felix was just saying—
Felix: I was saying how much of a fool you are. Now come, we have more important things to discuss.    
Ashe / Felix B:
Ashe: Felix? What are you doing here?
Felix: I had business in the capital. Speaking of, I hear you’re that boar’s knight now.
Ashe: Boar... Oh, you mean His Majesty?
Felix: Yeah. Him. You must have it rough with a tiresome man like that leading you.
Ashe: I think you’re exaggerating, Felix. I wouldn’t call him that at all. In fact, he even does our jobs for us sometimes! Although he has been trying to rely on us a little more lately.
Felix: See, that’s exactly why he’s such a problem. You should steal your job back from him once in a while. Use force if you have to.
[...]
Ashe: But whenever I’m in real trouble, His Majesty and Dedue always come to my aid, so that’s good!
Felix: Dedue as well, huh?
Ashe: Yep. Even the knights accept him as one of us now. No one’s a better cook or more skilled with their hands. And he’s a proper demon on the battlefield, to boot! I hope to be more like him someday.
Felix: Please, no. One of him is more than enough. Especially that blind loyalty. Imitate that and you’ll only end up throwing away your life on the battlefield.
Ashe: Aw, are you worried about us? That’s sweet, Felix. I always had the impression you cared for your friends, and now I know I’m right!
Felix: Excuse me?
Ashe: I mean, sure, the things you say are pretty harsh, but you can’t bring yourself to actually abandon someone. You always show so much concern for me, and for Dedue, and even for His Majesty!
Felix: Yeah, well, it’d be more work for me if anything happened to you. That’s all.
Felix / Sylvain C:
Sylvain: Who knows what would happen to Faerghus if we lost you.
Felix: I won’t say you’d be fine without me, but you do know I could fall in battle any day now, right?
Sylvain: Bite your tongue, Felix. Just think for two seconds. What would happen to Faerghus, and His Majesty, if you died? He’s got too much on his plate already, yet he insists on doing everything himself. War with the Empire, battles outside Fodlan, governing the Kingdom, reforming the entire social structure of pretty much everything... If he didn’t have you at his side, he’d fall flat on his face.
Shez / Rodrigue C:
Rodrigue: No matter how much snow blankets the ground, our pegasi quite literally rise to the occasion. When my son and His Majesty were still just boys, they followed one off into the frigid mountains of all places. By the time I found them, they were but two shivering masses on the ground. For a moment I thought my heart would never beat again.
Shez: So Felix has been getting into trouble ever since he was a kid, huh?
Rodrigue: His penchant for danger is unchanged, yes. Though I fear his disposition has grown far sharper.
Dimitri / Rodrigue A:
Dimitri: I sounded like my father?
Rodrigue: Indeed you did. Remember the story of the sword, about how I got stuck behind enemy lines like a fool? Well, the first thing Lambert said after he broke through their forces was, “Don’t throw your life away like that.” Not that it was too convincing coming from a guy covered in cuts and scrapes.
Dimitri: I can’t imagine. It sounds as though you two were very close. I envy him for having such strong bonds with his friends.
Rodrigue: Don’t let my son catch you saying that. Pretty sure he’d take offense.
Felix / Rodrigue A:
Rodrigue: Would you have abandoned His Majesty to save yourself? Or would you have chosen to fight until death claimed you? I myself would’ve safeguarded His Majesty at all costs. I know that it wasn’t in Glenn’s nature to flee either.
Felix: It’s always about courage or cowardice with you. I wouldn’t have chosen anything. When your life’s on the line, you don’t have time to think about that stuff—only act. I would have fought with my own will, in whatever way I thought best—and I would’ve made sure we both survived.
Rodrigue: You always want to have it both ways. Still, I take pride in that determination of yours. Had I been there, I doubt I could’ve summoned the resolve to strive for such a victory. More likely, I would’ve been satisfied merely to die in the defense of my liege.
Felix: I can understand that way of thinking. In fact, I always have.
Felix / Raphael A:
Felix: House Blaiddyd and House Fraldarius used to go on hunting trips together. On one trip, a certain prince bagged so many animals it proved impossible to fit them all on the sled. Meanwhile, I went off hunting on my own, encountered the boar, and barely escaped with my life.
Raphael: Wait, why would Dimitri wanna kill you? Or do you mean, like... an actual boar?
Felix: While this may not be the same boar, I will get no small amount of satisfaction if we manage to bring it down.
Raphael: Hold on, who are we talking about here? Eh, whatever. Let’s do this thing!
Felix: I’ll share the spoils with you, but the kill is mine. Now stand back.
Chores Dialogue
Low Support:
Felix: Stuck with you again? Fine, let’s get this over with.
Dimitri: Indeed, we should finish this quickly for both of our sakes.
High (A) support:
Dimitri: Let’s be quick, shall we? I know you don’t care much for working with me.
Felix: Hmph, I never said that. Don’t put words in my mouth.
Great or Perfect result:
Felix: What do you expect? That was child’s play.
Dimitri: And yet... No, we can leave it at that. I appreciate the help today, Felix.
Dining Dialogue
Low Support:
Felix: What’s with that look, boar? You could at least pretend to enjoy the food.
Dimitri: Oh, I do. I was merely focused on a stray dab of sauce on your cheek. Shall I wipe it off for you?
High (A) Support:
Dimitri: I’ve always enjoyed watching you eat, Felix. There’s something almost heroic about it. Hm? Is something the matter?
Felix: If you keep talking, all I’m going to be able to taste is hot air. Now let me enjoy my food in peace.
Training Dialogue
Dimitri: You’ll be my partner today, Felix? No need to hold back, then.
Felix: Right. Just don’t go so hard you wreck the training grounds. Other people use this place, you know.
Expeditions Dialogue
Dimitri:
Select: [Ask a question -> Ask about their worries.]
Dimitri: Do be kind to Felix. His new duties seem to be taking more out of him than I think he realizes.
Correct answer: [Nod emphatically.]
Felix:
Select: [Talk.]
Felix: Houses Blaiddyd and Fraldarius have been practically inseparable ever since Faerghus was founded. 
Correct answer: [Ask for more details.]
Select: [Talk.] 
Felix: The boar's more relaxed and genuine than he used to be. Only a little, though. 
Correct answer: [Say that you're relieved too.]
Select: [Ask a question -> Ask about memories of the past.]
Felix: Hmph. If you want tales of the past, go ask the boar. I'm sure he'd be glad to regale you. 
Correct answer: [Acquiesce.]
Select: [Ask a question -> Ask what they think of you.]
Felix: Working for the boar isn't easy. Trust me, I know. But don't go slacking off. 
Correct answer: [Act dependable.]

hey!!!! I love ur blog!! please would I be able to have some enemies-to-lovers headcanons for Felix, Sylvain, dimitri and Ingrid? Post time skip. Thank you
{Hello! Uhm, so...I was going through my unfinished drafts and saw that I had begun this but never finished it. I completed Felix's but never got past! It's a l s o more of an imagine than a headcannon. Apparently younger me saw an opportunity and went ham. I don't know when i'll ever get around to sylvain/dimitri/ingrid...but I hope this little Felix offering is something you'll like!}
Prompt: Enemies to Lovers
Master List: Here
"A Lack of Feeling" {Felix x Reader}
Everyone is this man's enemy. End of story.
……
Alright, maybe not everyone but there are more on the list than not. If Felix was an NPC in an RPG, then his affection meter towards anyone he meets beyond childhood begins at -50 points. No exceptions. (at least this is what he wants people to believe)
Normally if someone spends enough time with him they can earn his good graces, you know? At the very least get him on neutral ground, it's only natural after all that time investment
This applies to most cases with Felix
"Most" being a key word here
There are three special cases: the Prince of Fargeus, his loyal pet, and one other emotionally constipated hindrance
Deep down Felix knew that he truly did not detest the first two. The situation involving them was more complicated than his mind could handle during his youth, so until he aged and saw proof of Dimitri's willpower his feelings remained sour. Throughout it all he still had a definite idea of how to view them both and could predict their moves like a book.
The third? Not so much. It seemed like the more time Felix spent observing them, the more he grew unsettled. Nothing they did let any insight to their own emotions or thoughts. All he could learn through the grape vine were blatant facts: their birthday, hometown, etc. Nothing personal. Everything felt…fake? Staged? As if their personality was being written up off the top of someone's head in a book.
Felix couldn't trust them, no matter how much the professor, Sylvain, or anyone else tried to convince him. Rather than antagonize them like he did with Dimitri, Felix chose to flat out ignore their presence.
"My name is Felix, and if you're wise then you won't ever need to use it"- he spoke upon meeting, and that was it.
What he found the most odd was that they simply ignored his hostility. Not in a way to challenge him, or in disinterest, but with acceptance. Any attempt on being friends was made by others on their behalf.
They weren't pushy, he'd give them that. He didn't feel guilty since they clearly had no interest in him either.
Until one late evening a few dawns after Edelgard's betrayal, he had found flowers on every grave within the monestary. It was a chance sight since he'd accidentally spend too long in the sauna, but walking through the Cemetery showed even the most ancient stones with offerings. With dates older than any person in the castle, they likely hadn't been visited in years.
And at the end of it all sat his one-sided enemy. The supposedly empty shell laid a bouquet on another grave and for the first time he saw them cry.
"I didn't know you had the ability to cry," He approached them cautiously and against his better judgement. He instantly regretted too.
"I didn’t know you had the ability to care," they said back, much more brash than he'd ever heard before
Felix said nothing else in response…what do you say to someone after openly despising them for months on end? Did he even want to apologize?
"I don't, but you look more suspicious than usual" he gestured to the graves surrounding them
"It's unlikely they'll be getting any visitors anytime soon…they deserve at least one last honoring,"
That night was when Felix first felt their personality, and it was scarily similar to his own
Perhaps he would have noticed it sooner if he'd tried
Perhaps the similarity is why he never did. One of him was enough
Or…was it? The drop in his chest as they began to become acquainted implied that he may have been missing out on something he'd hadn't planned to ever find

6) Who's your favorite lord/protagonist?
10) A character you find underrated?
11) A character that deserved better?
12) A game that deserved better?
15) What are your favorite musical tracks?
16) What's your favorite world/setting?
30) Since horse abuse is currently popular on Tumblr, beat up a dead horse with your take on an oversaturated topic🐴
6. Favorite lord/protagonist?
answered already, but briefly its lucina and then the sacred stones twins tied :)
10. A character you find underrated?
i think kjelle flies under the radar a lot because she comes off as just one of those character who just trains all the time and like. im not gonna say thats wrong exactly? she can be annoying to read sometimes, thats true. but i dont know, i personally really like how they took her character. obviously, im biased, awakening second gen is my favorite cast in fire emblem and shes included in that, but the obvious backstory of coming from a ruined timeline already does a lot to elevate her higher up for me if you just. consider her thinking from that perspective. but i also really like her “strong vs weak” mentality she has going on. i dont agree with it, but i like that she has it. obviously shes lost a lot, so wanting to put up a strong front and act like she doesnt need anyone weaker than her as a way to protect herself from losing more is a really fun way to take a character from a backstory like that, and its fun to see how that manifests in her supports with the others. she spends a lot of time looking down on them, which can admittedly be boring to read, but if you dig into her a bit more, is it really because she thinks theyre pathetic? or does she want to cling onto what strength she has and push them away so they dont have to? does she really think theyre weak? or is she jealous of their strength to indulge in frivolity while they have it while shes too scared to do so?
also shes pretty and im not immune to women who could beat the shit out of me
11) A character that deserved better?
NYX…. NYX FIRE EMBLEM… GIRLLL IM GONNA GET YOU OUT OF THAT STUPID DARK MAGE OUTFIT! nyx is honestly one of fates’s best characters, and honestly probably one of fire emblems best characters, but people wont give her a chance because 1) her outfit sucks which is honestly a valid reason considering her gimmick and 2) shes a fates character. a much less valid reason. but its like!! guys please i SWEAR shes not the same as the other characters with the stupid “im older than i look” trope please please please im on my KNEES right now please please please please please please please PLEASE. anyways if nyx has 1000 fans im one of them if nyx as 1 fan i am that fan if nyx has no fans im DEAD and BURIED, probably still hyping her up from the grave.
12) A game that deserved better?
answersd previously, but i said echoes :)
15) What are your favorite musical tracks?
recollection and regret is my favorite support track by far. that is musical perfection right there. huge fan of twilight of the gods for final boss maps. bright sandstorm, dark wastes, and dont speak her name are my favorite map themes. and comrades is my favorite recruitment theme :) my favorite track is probably pulled from one of these
16) What’s your favorite world/setting?
you know worldbuilding is not something i really praise fire emblem for. but i think i’d pick ylisse/whatever world awakening is set (is it still called archanea?? i dont know) just because it feels really homey i think. not biased btw
30) Since horse abuse is currently popular on tumblr, beat up a dead horse with your take on an oversatured topic.
every single side of the edelgard/dimitri/rhea discourse is fucking annoying and i think if you start going after people simply because they have an opinion on one of them that you dont you’re the reason why we’ll never get an attempt at true nuance in fire emblem again. games been out for what, 3? 4 years?? and people still cant manage to say “i like [X character] and think [Y character] was in the wrong, but i respect that you dont and that you have different interpretations of them than i do.” its not that hard you guys. “ohh but edelgard started a war” “dimitri slaughtered people” “rheas corrupt” its not real. its not fucking real. you gonna start going after every fan of julius and ishtar because of their role in fe4? what about all of the villainfuckers in this fandom? you ever seen grima thirst??? (i love yall. btw. good taste) like its just so… stop basing your opinions on real people off a stupid anime game!! its not that deep! its never ever been that deep!!! if someone keeps posting a dumb take you dont like, you know what you can do? block them!!! its so easy!!!! its so fucking easy so how is this even a problem anymore!! godddddd

Green Green Dress
Part of my coffee shop AU check it out #howdys coffeeshop or #dianawrites - wanted to get something done before the new year and what a coincidence! this is set at a New Year’s party! songfic to green green dress from tick tick boom while I get more comfortable writing longer pieces. I reserve the right to retcon this as I finish the AU but Happy New Year besties!
Last time on Cool Beans: Rose has been working at the cafe since the summer. Rose and Dimitri have been secretly dating since Thanksgiving. This is them at the Belikova's New Year’s party.
Dimitri should not have been nervous. They’ve managed to keep it to themselves for weeks, enjoying the new relationship in private.
What he wasn’t prepared for was that dress. That green, green dress. It was kryptonite.
Rose had just entered the Belikova home for their annual New Year’s party. The living room was filled with families from the neighborhood, all wanting to celebrate the past year. Dimitri was making his way through the crowd but Viktoria beat him to the door.
“Rose! You made it!” Viktoria squealed as she hugged her.
“Wouldn’t miss it,” Rose replied, hugging Viktoria back in return. Rose only met the youngest Belikova when she returned home for the holidays but they were becoming fast friends.
Dimitri finally made it to the entryway when he overheard his sister.
“You look gorgeous! You must tell me where you got that dress?”
Rose turned around almost sheepishly from hanging her coat on the rack.
“It’s not too much, is it? There weren’t many options at the thrift store,” Rose glanced towards to crowd inside, sighing in relief when she noticed she wasn’t the only one dressed to the nines.
“It’s thrifted? It looks like it was made for you," Viktoria continued with her compliments.
Hearing the pause, Dimitri took the chance to enter the conversation.
“I have to agree with that sentiment. You look beautiful, Roza.”
Deep, dark velvet hugs your silhouette Black silk stockings, you're my Juliet
The dress was emerald green velvet. A halter neck with twenty buttons down the back. Rose wore it with black silk stockings and a pair of low black slingback heels.
Rose shot Dimitri a devilish grin. “You don’t look too bad yourself, Comrade.”
This was as dressed up as Dimitri would get in his family’s home. A navy turtleneck paired with crisp black slacks. He ran his hand through his hair at the comment. The movement drew attention to a new accessory, a silver chain with a cross. A Christmas present from Rose.
Sensing the shift in tone and the longing looks the pair were giving each other, Viktoria mumbled an excuse about finding her baby niece and excused herself.
Dimitri guided her through the living room to the kitchen where his mother was stationed at the island. “Rose! So glad you could make it! Please help yourself to anything you like,” said Olena.
They left the kitchen with heaping servings of Olivier salad and sparkling wine.
They mingled and danced for hours. Fireworks were set off in the backyard. Many shots were drunk. They wanted to be subtle but the dress proved to be too much. Dimitri could not keep his hands off her and Rose relished in the feeling.
Unlike the New Year’s parties of her past, most of which she was just accompanying Lissa, Rose did not feel alone in the crowd. She didn’t feel like an outsider intruding. The Belikova’s had insisted she be a part of the family photo. With her arms around Karolina and Dimitri, she couldn’t help but feel like she was home somehow.
It felt like not long after the party had started, it had quieted down. Midnight had come and gone and it was a brand new year.
Let's find a chair where we can sit and talk Or get some fresh air, maybe we could take a walk Tell me what you're thinkin', talk about your day Tell me what to do, I'll do anything you say
Most of the guests had returned home and the younger children were put to bed. Rose and Dimitri had finished cleaning up a while ago but they were hesitant to leave immediately after.
They went out to the patio for some fresh air, hoping to cool off from the alcohol. Dimitri held Rose close as they swayed to a soft 80’s pop ballad he had saved on his phone, listening through a pair of wired earbuds.
Dimitri stopped suddenly when he noticed something on the ceiling.
“I thought Adrian had taken down all the Christmas decorations.”
Rose looked to where Dimitri was and spotted the mistletoe decorated with red and gold ribbon.
“Just kiss me, Comrade. I’ve been waiting all night."
With a request like that, Dimitri had to oblige. They met in the middle for a soft kiss.
“Maybe, we could do a little more than just kissing,” he whispered as he leaned down to kiss her neck.
Rose’s eyes widened as she remembered where they were. On the patio of his family home and his family still inside.
“Who are you and what have you done with Dimitri?”
“You asked me what my resolution is. I want to open up more. I don’t want to hide what we have.”
Rose was taken aback by this declaration, albeit a slightly drunken one, but a declaration nonetheless.
“I need to know what Vika snuck into the wine to get you this affectionate.”
“Nothing at all. It’s you, Roza. It’s always just you. You don’t know what you do to me sometimes.”
Rose wasn’t blind, she could see the look in his eyes whenever she teased him. She knows the effect she has on him. However, it was nothing compared to the desire that grew in her that only his words of adoration could bring out. He wants her but he also wants all of her. Not just her body but her soul as well. That’s why she loves him.
“I believe you have another present to unwrap.”
They managed to make it to his car before the buttons were completely undone.
The green, green dress What a pleasure to unwrap Green dress, oh, what it can do What the green, green dress does to me on you Me on you

The Bubbly Blue Lion Tickle Fight
With the release of Fire Emblem Engage just around the corner, I finally finished the Azure Gleam route in Fire Emblem Three Hopes last month! To celebrate, I have once again created a fun fic with Shez wanting to make their friends smile, with the Blue Lions this time! (Somewhere in the process the word count became even longer than my Golden Deer one, but oh well-). I hope you enjoy! 
Series: Fire Emblem Three Hopes
Characters: Shez, Dimitri, Dedue, Sylvain, Ingrid, Felix, Ashe, Annette, Mercedes
Words: 4,522
Summary: Dimitri struggles to simply relax on his day off, so Shez thinks of a way to get him to take a break, but their original plan grows into a much more playful battle when the rest of the Blue Lions show up. (Note: There are no spoilers that are mentioned so please enjoy!)
The tides of war are ever changing, yet little by little the Faerghus army keeps clawing their way towards their end goals of peace. Turmoil occurred during their pushes for victory, but the army learns from every battle they fight. The key to their success so far has been their continued trust between allies, furthering the bonds between each other in the process. On days when the army is not battling for the good of the Kingdom however, they’re saving their strength for the next fights ahead.
Shez, a mercenary and commander for the army, spends their day off by doing a little reorganizing of their private quarters. Wearing comfortable black clothing rather than their usual armor, Shez places a box of old papers outside their tent. These types of quiet days give the entire army a chance to relax. Everyone does so except for the one person who needs it the most—the King of Faerghus itself—Dimitri.
Shez notices him working in the distance. He’s helping fellow army members organize their own boxes of weapons and materials near the rest of the camp’s private quarters. It’s kind that he’s helping, but what he really should be doing is resting. At this point, Shez can’t even count how many times they, or the rest of their friends have told him to take it easy. Yet despite what they say, he seems to be doing the exact opposite. With a huff, Shez makes their way over to Dimitri.
The king lifts up another wooden box filled with sword hilts sticking upwards. The metal of the weapons clang together as the box is moved on top of a cart. “That’s the last of them,” Dimitri steps away from the cart and dusts his hands off. The army men and women thank him for his assistance and cart the materials away. “Take care now,” the king waves goodbye to them.
“Well, it seems like you’re being helpful today,” Shez comes up behind him. Dimitri turns around in surprise.
“Ah, Shez!” he positions himself properly to face them. “I didn’t see you there. What are you doing over here?”
Shez crosses their arms. “I could ask you the same thing.”
Dimitri lets out a sheepish chuckle. “Yes, I know. You’re about to give me an earful about why I should be resting.”
As expected, he already had a feeling as to why Shez had come over. At least he was out of his bulky armor and in more casual attire, wearing a dark blue, long sleeved undershirt with matching pants.  
“Because you’re aware of your mistake, we’ll skip the lecture this time. And now that you’re done helping, you can go and rest now, right?” Shez responds.
Dimitri flicks his blue eyes away, “Well…”
“Dimitri,” Shez elongates the last part of his name like they are about to scold him.
“I know, I know,” Dimitri gives a guilty look, tilting his eyes downward, “But it’s difficult for me to simply relax when there’s work to be done.” After a moment to think, he lifts his head back up. “How about this, I’ll finish one final task I have to do, then I’ll rest for the remainder of the day. Does that sound agreeable?”
Shez feels sympathy for him. They really do. They want to agree with him, but they know that he’ll go off and overwork himself again unintentionally. He doesn’t know when to stop. What Shez needs is a way that can guarantee that he’ll relax. Something that can get him smiling in no time. Ideas bounce around in their head—and they finally set their sights on one particular, perhaps unconventional idea, that may just be exactly what Dimitri needs to finally relax. 
Shez puts on a serious face. “A tempting offer, but no.”
“What?” Dimitri is taken aback.
“Every time you say you’re gonna take a break you never do. You may finish one task, but another will just come up. So, I’m gonna make you take a break, right here, right now.”
“S-Shez?” Dimitri can only blink at them, “I don’t understand.”
“Oh, you will,” Shez smirks. They stroll towards Dimitri, keeping eye contact with the king until they circle behind him. Dimitri continues to watch them with a curious gaze. Shez’s smirk becomes increasingly larger. “Right after I do…this!”
“AHACK!” Dimitri suddenly lets out an uncharacteristic shriek when his sides are squeezed, followed up by the fluttering of Shez’s fingers into his sides. 
“Shehez! What are you dohohohoing!” Dimitri turns his head away into his shoulder to hide his boyish giggles from slipping out.
“I’m tickling you of course! What else does it look like? I thought it would be a great way for you to finally relax.”
“Shehehez wait—AH!” Dimitri shrieks again when Shez scribbles their fingers into his stomach. He tries to curl up his middle and hold his laughter in, as this silliness may be unbefitting of a king, but streams of giggles continue spilling out. 
“Shehehehez! Hahaha!” Dimitri attempts to twist away from the mercenary. He soon ends up  crumbling to the ground onto his back and Shez follows him down. They crawl their fingers up to his ribs, earning another giggly shriek from the king. He slaps a hand over his mouth upon hearing his own squeaks; behind his hand, pink hints of a faint blush can be seen rising in his cheeks.
“Hey! No hiding that smile!” Shez easily pulls his wrist away from his mouth, then dives both of their hands back towards Dimitri’s ribs. The king is known to have great strength, but even he is weakened by the tickles.
“Shehehez!” Dimitri curls up onto his side. Big, full laughter begins to flow out of Dimitri and a bright smile is clear on his face. 
“See? Now isn’t this relaxing?”
“Your Majesty!” a protective male voice suddenly booms. Shez lifts their head up, noticing Dedue rushing towards them. They temporarily halt their attack on Dimitri to give him a break.
“I heard a shriek and—Oh?” Dedue pauses when he gets close enough to see Shez and a still giggling Dimitri on the ground.
“What’s going on over here?” another voice, female this time, calls from behind. Shez turns their head, seeing Ingrid, Sylvain, and Felix rushing over from the opposite side. 
“Hey Dedue! Hey you three!” Shez smiles at all of them as if nothing is wrong. Their friends are all wearing comfortable undershirts as well instead of their armor.
“Well, this is an unexpected surprise,” Sylvain returns the smile.
Felix crosses his arms with a scowl. “You better have a good explanation for getting us all worried.”
After hearing his friends, Dimitri tries to lift himself up, “Dedue—Ack!” but Shez playfully shoves him back down and starts tickling him again, quickly earning more laughter from the king.
“Are you…tickling His Majesty?” Dedue asks, unsure if he should be concerned or not.
“Yep! Our king here was being stubborn and refusing to rest like we told him to, so I decided to show him a way to relax,” Shez casually responds while a squirmy Dimitri wriggles under their fingers.
“Dehehehedue! Hehehehelp!” Dimitri calls to his retainer through his giggles. 
As his retainer, Dedue knows full well that it’s his duty to protect the king, but that includes making sure he’s well rested. The corners of his mouth then turn upwards into a faint smile. “Very well, Your Majesty.”
Dedue positions himself behind the leader, hooking his hands right under Dimitri’s arms as if he was going to pull him away. Thinking Dedue is going to help Dimitri up, Shez stops their attack. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Dedue starts scribbling his fingers into Dimitri’s underarms.
“AHA! Dedue! Thihihis is nohohot what I meheheheant!” Dimitri clamps his arms to his sides and starts kicking his legs in the dirt.
“Is it not?” Dedue responds innocently with a smirk in his tone, “You needed help relaxing. I am simply helping you achieve that.” 
“Dehehehedue!”
Shez laughs, happy to see this playful side of Dedue come out. They then assist the retainer by diving their fingers back towards Dimitri’s stomach, increasing the squirms and giggles produced by the king. 
Sylvain chuckles to himself as he watches from the sidelines with Ingrid and Felix, “It looks like he’s still as ticklish as he was when we were kids.”
“You know…” Ingrid looks at the red-haired noble with a child-like mischief in her eyes, a giddiness rising up inside her that she can’t contain. “I recall you also being ticklish, Sylvain.”
Sylvain whips his head in the direction of Ingrid, his eyes expanding in horror.
“I-Ingrid! Now wait a minute!” Sylvain backs away from her when she takes a step closer, her fingers wiggling in the air. With that, he turns to make a run for it, but she darts at his sides before he can even take his first few steps to escape. Sylvain bursts into laughter, twisting in Ingrid’s hold to playfully shove her away, but he crumbles to the ground, falling to nearly the same fate as Dimitri as Ingrid follows the red-haired noble down to continue her attack. Felix rolls his eyes at Sylvain and Ingrid’s behavior, but he continuously glances back at the silly scene, also finding it quite amusing.
Shez softly laughs seeing Ingrid and Sylvain now join in on the fun, but the commander suddenly lets out a startled shriek when they’re yanked forward by a strong tug. They flop down on the dirt, and before they can look over their shoulder to see what happened, there’s fingers scribbling at their own ribs.
“AH! Hehehey!” Shez wriggles around on their belly, now noticing that Dimitri had escaped, and is the one who had attacked. 
“Ah ha! I’ve got you now Shez!” Dimitri digs into their ticklish bones, immediately causing Shez to flail around even more. “Prepare for your revenge!” Dimitri smiles and looks over at his retainer. “Dedue, I would greatly appreciate your assistance!”
Dedue returns a nod. “Right away, Your Majesty.”
“Nohoho! Dehehehedue!” Shez twists around onto their back in playful panic, now using their arms to try and defend themselves. “I thohohought you were on my sihihihide—AH!” Shez yelps again and kicks their feet in the dirt when Dedue slightly lifts them up from behind and wiggles into their own underarms.
“I was,” the retainer says in a serious manner, “But it’s only fair that His Majesty gets a chance to return the favor.”
Meanwhile, Sylvain continues wriggling on the ground, his arms squeezed to his sides, unable to roll over onto his stomach due to Ingrid’s nimble fingers scribbling into all his ticklish spots. His laughter rises in pitch the higher she flutters her fingers up to his ribs.
“Ihihihingrid! Quihihihiht it!” Sylvain giggles and tries to push her back, only resulting in her grabbing one of his wrists away for easier access to his torso.
“Quit what, Sylvain? Is there a problem? You’re going to have to be more specific,” Ingrid teases while her free hand tickles him to pieces.
“Ohoho thahahat’s it! Yohohour turn!” Quickly finding an opening, Sylvain darts his hand forward, which earns a surprised screech from Ingrid when he latches on to her ticklish side.
“EEK! Sylvahahahain!” She releases his wrist and topples over onto her back, unfortunately leaving her middle wide open to Sylvain’s attack. Ingrid tries to grab his wrists away from digging into her tummy, but Sylvain easily uses one hand to claw into her belly, earning another child-like shriek from Ingrid.
Dimitri looks over when he hears these giggly exclamations from Ingrid. He also notices that Sylvain’s back is turned towards him, which leaves him the perfect target. As sneaky as he can, Dimitri leaves Shez to Dedue and moves closer to the others.
“Haha!” Sylvain laughs triumphantly over his squirming friend, unaware that Dimitri is approaching. “What are you going to do now Ingrid—AH!” he yelps when Dimitri pounces at his sides, causing Sylvain to erupt into more laughter. He successfully yanks himself away from Dimitri’s fingers, but flops onto the ground in doing so. In a panic, Sylvain tries to scramble to his feet, but Dimitri catches his leg and starts tugging him back.
“Don’t try to run from me Sylvain!” the king exclaims with a smile.
Sylvain worms on his stomach, frantically clawing at the ground to pull away. “Why not?! I think this is an appropriate situation to be run—ING! Hahaha!” Sylvain yelps once more when Dimitri dives his fingers into his ribs. Sylvain clamps his arms down and wriggles around again in any attempt to nullify the vicious tickles.
“Did you forget how ruthless of a tickle monster I could be?” Dimitri grins from above.
“YES! Yehehehes I did!” Sylvain exclaims as he’s nearly tickled to hysterics.
“But that tickle monster is also ticklish himself!” Ingrid sits up and pounces towards Dimitri’s side.
“Ah! Ihihingrid!” Dimitri attempts to gently shove her away, which allows Sylvain the chance to quickly slip from his hold. He then attacks Dimitri’s other side, causing the king to curl himself up into a protective ball.
From above, Felix lets out a short laugh. “It’s surprising how the ruthless boar can be easily taken down by something so simple.”
“Why don’t you join us Felix?” Ingrid smiles up at the blue-haired noble.
“Hmph. No thanks,” Felix turns his head to the side.
“Aww come on! It’ll be just like when we were kids!” Sylvain adds on to the persuasion.
“I said no.”
“Then if you're not with us…” Sylvain smirks at Ingrid, signaling her with a wink of where he’s going with this new plan. He grins back at Felix. “Then you’re against us!” Sylvain exclaims and gets up to dart towards Felix, Ingrid following Sylvain’s lead.
“What?!” Felix flinches back, unable to move from his spot fast enough before Sylvain grabs his arms and pulls them in front of him. Felix growls as he tries to shake him away. “Sylvain! Let go of me—AH!” Felix yelps when Ingrid comes up behind him and squeezes his sides. The blue-haired noble immediately grits his teeth, refusing to let even a single giggle slip out. He arches his back to escape Ingrid’s wiggling fingers while trying to free his arms, but he bends backwards too far, slipping out of Sylvain’s hold and onto the ground. 
Ingrid switches roles with Sylvain, now being the one to position herself behind Felix and grabbing his arms above his head. 
The blue-haired noble gasps, then struggles to get out of her grip. “Ingrid! Let go!” Felix snarls at her. To make matters worse, he looks ahead and sees Sylvain staring him down with a sinister grin. 
“S-Sylvain! Don’t you dare!” Felix snarls again as the red-haired noble approaches him closer with wiggling fingers.
Sylvain’s grin grows even wider, “Oh, I dare!”
“Sylvain no! GAH!” Felix shuts his mouth tight when Sylvain dives his fingers into his underarms. His mouth forms a wobbly smile as he tries to hold in his giggles, but the dam soon bursts, resulting in the blue-haired noble breaking into rare laughter. He squirms from side to side, trying to yank his arms down, but he’s clearly at a disadvantage.
“Not so tough while you’re in this position, huh Felix?” Sylvain teases. In the corner of his eye, Sylvain also sees that Dimitri is finally lifting himself up from his previous attack. “Ah, you’re finally up, Your Majesty. You want to help us with Felix now?”
Dimitri chuckles, then makes his way over to Felix’s side. “I will gladly be of assistance.”
“Yohohou’re all gohohoing to gehehet it!” Felix’s laughter rises in volume when Dimitri aids by tickling his sides. Soon after, Ingrid lets go of his wrists to use her own hands to tickle him, turning the usually stoic Felix into a squirmy, giggly puddle against his three friends.
Due to the ruckus of laughter, the rest of the Blue Lions—Ashe, Annette, and Mercedes—also in casual clothes, come over to the scene after all the noise caught their attention.
“Oh my!” Mercedes exclaims with a smile when she sees the cause of all the commotion, “What’s going on here?” 
“Aww!” Annette clasps her hands together, “It looks like everyone’s having a tickle fight! Oh, how fun!”
Mercedes gazes down at Shez, who’s still being taken down by Dedue. “Shez, did you start this?” she asks.
“Yehehehes! Buhuhut it bahahackfired! Hahaha!”
“I know that feeling all too well,” Ashe giggles. “It reminds me of the tickle fights I used to have with my siblings.”
Annette’s ears perk up. She then glances at him with a little grin. “Soooo, does that mean you’re ticklish too, Ashe?” she ends her sentence with a poke to his side, earning a jump from the knight.
Ashe darts his eyes to the side. “I—Well…Hehehey!” he jumps again when Annette continuously starts poking at his sides. He turns away from her pokes, but Annette suddenly wraps her arms around him and scribbles her small fingers into his sides, trapping the knight in a tickle hug.
“Ah ha! I knew it!” she exclaims.
“Annehehehette! Hahahaha!” Ashe bends his middle forward to try and escape, but like many of his other friends, he ends up crumbling to his knees and flopping onto his back, where Annette follows him down to easily scribble into the rest of his torso.
After witnessing Ashe and Annette’s playfulness, Mercedes glances back at Shez and Dedue, observing that the purple-haired mercenary is still squirming about with laughter after all this time.
“Here, let me help you Shez,” Mercedes joins in on the fun. She leans down behind Dedue and scribbles into his sides. The retainer jolts in surprise, but no laughter.
“Mercedes? What are you doing?” Dedue asks over his shoulder, also halting his attack on Shez to allow the mercenary a breather. Shez lifts themself up on their arms, slowly sliding themselves over to the side to now watch the two.
“I’m trying to tickle you,” Mercedes responds, “You’re not laughing though.”
“I suppose I’m not ticklish there. I can’t remember if I am anywhere.”
“Hmm…Well, maybe you are in a different spot then,” Mercedes scratches her fingers up his ribs, still getting no reaction. “What about here?” the healer then moves her hands up to Dedue’s underarms. The retainer lets out a sudden gasp, followed by him clamping his arms down.
“M-Mercedes!” a quivering smile grows on Dedue’s face while Mercedes continues scratching at his tickle spot. Dedue drops forward, one hand holding himself up, while the other wraps around his torso, his body unsure of how to exactly react to the unfamiliar tickly feeling. Shortly after, soft giggles begin releasing from the retainer. 
“There we are!” Mercedes beams with success. She increases the pace of her fingers, prompting Dedue’s deep giggles to slowly increase and nearly causing him to drop completely onto the ground.
“Thanks Mercedes,” Shez smiles up at the healer. 
“Of course!” Mercedes then peers ahead to Felix’s situation, seeing that another one of her friends can use some assistance. “Annie! Take over for me!” Mercedes exclaims over her shoulder.
“You got it, Mercie!” Annette releases Ashe and quickly switches with Mercedes, leaving little no time for Dedue to regain his composure before being sent back into giggles. With Annette now taking over, Mercedes dashes behind Dimitri and Sylvain.
“Come on you three! Give Felix a break,” Mercedes drops to her knees, then shoots her hands forward to tickle the ribs of the male nobles with one hand each. The two jump and lean away in the opposite direction of her while another stream of giggles spill out of them.
Now freed from two of his attackers, Felix launches past Ingrid into an upright position and pounces at Sylvain, knocking the red-haired noble to the ground.
“Oh, you’re in for it now Sylvain!” Felix immediately starts digging into Sylvain’s sides, causing his friend to jolt with laughter.
“AH! Fehehehelix! NO—AHA!” Sylvain kicks his legs when the blue-haired noble scribbles down near his hips, sending Sylvain into hysterics. At the same time, Mercedes takes on Dimitri, easily making him topple over onto his back again from the gentle fluttering of his fingers into his middle.
“Thanks for the help Mercedes,” Felix acknowledges the female healer beside him as they tickle the two other nobles side by side.
“I’m happy to assist!” Mercedes smiles.
From behind, Ingrid quietly laughs at her friends, but apparently not quiet enough. Felix glances over his shoulder, glaring at her like he’s locking on to a new target. 
“Don’t think I forgot about you, Ingrid!” Felix leaps at her, knocking her to the ground like he did with Sylvain. She explodes once more into laughter when Felix scribbles into her belly.
In the meantime, Ashe recovers and notices Dedue in need of assistance as well. The knight lunges his hands towards Annette’s sides, resulting in the girl producing a high pitched squeak. Through her giggles, she twists herself all the way around in the knight’s hold to break free, but Dedue repositions himself to sit behind her. Using their significant height difference to his advantage, Dedue pulls back the squirmy Annette in his lap before gently scribbling into her sides. Ashe also helps, adding in some more scribbles into her tummy.
“Eek! Ashehehe! Dehehedue!” Annette shrieks again, loud enough for Mercedes to hear it over the laughter around her.
“Annie?” Mercedes lifts her head up. Unfortunately for her, that leaves her wide open for a counter attack from Dimitiri. Wasting no time, the king darts his hands forward and wiggles into the healer’s sides.
“Eep! Dimitrihihihi!” Mercedes crumbles to the ground and Dimitri sits up, successfully switching places with his previous attacker.
“My apologies for this Mercedes, but it has to be done!” Dimitri smiles while a flow of airy giggles is released by the healer.
As this all plays out, Shez curls their knees to their chest from the sidelines, simply watching everyone have a good time. They didn’t think that their silly little plan would turn into an all out tickle fight, but they’re glad it did. Sometimes they forget that everyone needs a chance to loosen up once in a while.
Another squeak from Annette snaps Shez out of their thoughts. Looks like it’s time to get back into the game and help out their friends.
“Hold on Annette, I’ve got you!” Shez gets up from their spot. They come behind Dedue and slip their fingers under his arms, earning a jump from the retainer. 
“Ah! Shehehez!” Dedue squeezes his arms down and can’t help himself from breaking out into giggles again.
“Don’t worry, Dedue! I’ll help!” Ashe lifts himself off the ground and heads for Shez. With a mischievous glint in their eye, Shez stays put. Ashe lunges at the mercenary, but Shez dodges out of the way and Ashe trips forward with a thud.
“Come here Ashe!” Shez scoops up the knight in a hug and pulls them into their lap, then drills their fingers into his sides.
“AH! Nohohohot again!” the knight squirms around in the mercenary’s hold. Annette then sneaks up from behind, wrapping her own arms around Shez’s middle to tickle them.
Through Shez’s giggly squirming, they reach behind and give a few squeezes to Annette’s sides, making the girl fall back with a squeak. Shez quickly escapes their friends and runs away. However, they accidentally head right towards Dimitri. The king easily catches the mercenary when they run by and Shez lets out a shriek when they’re yanked backwards into a strong hold.
“Dimitri!” Shez frantically tries to squirm away, having a bad feeling they know what he’s thinking of next.
“You can’t escape all of us at once Shez! Time to end this fight with the person that started it all!” Dimitri glances around at his teammates, “Everyone attack!”
Shez’s eyes go wide and their squirming significantly increases. “Noho!” they exclaim with a giggle as they attempt to escape from the king’s grasp, but they release another shriek as Dimitri dives his fingers into the commander’s sides. Shez immediately slides backwards onto the ground. Soon after, Dedue comes over to assist Dimitri, both tickling Shez from behind. The rest of the Blue Lions surround the mercenary—Ashe, Mercedes, and Annette get them on their right, while Sylvain, Ingrid and, surprisingly, Felix get them on their left. 
Shez squirms around from side to side, kicking their legs in the dirt as their laughter fills everyone’s ears. They had no idea all of the Blue lions could be this playful, but it warms their heart to see them all happy. Dimitri was right that Shez can’t escape all of them at the same time though.
“OKAY! Okahahahay! I give! I gihihihive! Hahaha!”
Dimitri and Dedue release Shez, soon followed by the rest of the Blue Lions moving their hands away to free the commander from their team attack. Leftover giggles slip out of Shez as they catch their breath, some remaining from the tickles while the others are just because they had fun. Dimitri lends them a hand to an upright sitting position and the rest of their friends huddle around them.
“Are you alright Shez?” Dimitri asks with concern in his eyes.
Shez still has to catch their breath, but shows him a reassuring smile. “I am…But the real question is…Do you feel relaxed?”
The king glances down, but it only takes him a moment to ponder the question before he responds with a similar reassuring smile. “Actually, I do. Thank you.”
Dedue places a hand on Dimitri’s shoulder. “That’s reassuring to hear Your Majesty.”
“Yeah, that’s a relief,” Sylvain leans back on his arm. “I was starting to think that we would never get His Majesty to take a break.”
“And that’s what really matters to us,” Ashe adds on, “Being able to see you take it easy once in a while.”
“Agreed!” Annette beams. “Plus, it was really fun! We should do it again sometime!”
Felix scoffs. “Fun? Speak for yourself. I wanted no part of it yet I was forced into it by these two.”
“Yet you still continued playing the game even after you were freed, didn’t you?” Ingrid nudges Felix with her elbow. The blue-haired noble scowls and turns his head away.
Mercedes lets out a soft laugh before looking at Shez with proud eyes. “It looks like your plan didn’t backfire after all, Shez.”
Behind them, Dimitri suddenly lets out a yawn, using a hand to cover his exhaustion. When he opens his eyes though, he notices everyone staring at him. Dimitri’s cheeks slightly flush. “Well, I suppose you would all like to see me get some rest now. I’ll make sure to do so right after I—” but Dimitri cuts himself off, not only hearing what he was saying, but also noticing the piercing glare on Shez’s face. “On second thought…” he catches himself, “I’ll make sure to get some rest now.” 
Shez smiles at him once more. Now those are the words they've been waiting to hear for a long time.

I always come back
Chapter 5
“Dude! It’s so obvious!” Allison was giving Gregory a wide smirk. “For the last time, I don't like her Ally!” 
Both of his friends gave him a deadpan expression. “Stop lying. It’s super obvious. Everyone knows.” Mason told him.
It had been a month since Cassie had joined the school, other than the adoption thing, Gregory hadn’t managed to get anything about her past out of her. It was disappointing, but it didn’t mean nothing had happened between them.
Quite the contrary.
~
“Mr. Ramirez, Ms. Nightingale, why don’t you both read the next part of this chapter?” They had been reading some 20th century play, it was mostly boring, but maybe that was how Gregory felt. “Okay ma’am.” Gregory said, getting up and moving to the front of the class, followed by Cassie. The teacher called up a few more people, and started to give them their roles. “Okay. Mr. Ramirez, you will be Dimitri, and Ms. Nightingale, you will be Adele.” Both Gregory and Cassie blushed furiously. Dimitri and Adele were in love. They were playing the role of lovers.
Everyone in the class was suddenly paying more attention, and with how the teacher was watching, Gregory was certain she had done this on purpose.
“Now go on, start. You two have the first few lines.” Gregory looked down into the textbook to see what the lines were.
Oh man. He is going to send their damn teacher to the pizza plex ruins.
It was a confession scene.
With how Cassie was giving the teacher a wide-eyed stare, he knew she wasn’t exactly pleased by this either. 
“Go on. We’re waiting.” Gregory took in a breath and moved over to Cassie, trying to use the textbook to cover his face. “My dearest beloved Adele, please I request you to listen to my words, for I am afraid that I may never be given yet another chance to say these after this moment.” He read out, trying his hardest not to look Cassie in the eyes. 
“Oh what is it you wish to tell me? Quick. Tell it quickly, before my mother finds us!” Cassie responded, and Gregory had to admit, she’d make for a good actress. “Ever since I laid eyes on you, that chance day two years ago, I have carried a feeling so strong J have not been able to ignore it, my dearest Adele. You have been the sun in my dark life, and I have cared for you very deeply. I just wish for you to hear this from my own lips, for I know that your mother will never approve of our relationship.” He looked up, and realized Cassie was staring at him, her bright brown eyes had an emotion that Gregory couldn’t understand.
“Oh Dimitri..” She whispered. “I.. I love you. I was afraid you wouldn’t care for me in such a way, so I never told you! Oh! Only if I had, we could’ve made a plan or something to get away from here. But now, it is too late for me. My mother will find me no matter where I go. I am not safe anywhere, my beloved.” The way she said it, made it seem to Gregory like she was actually feeling those emotions. ‘Dang. She is good.’ 
He placed his hand on her cheek. “My love! This whole time I thought you hated me! But you don’t. And that is enough for me! I do not care what comes our way now that I know. I will find us a way to be happy.”
They were really getting into the roles now, and everyone in class watched with bated breath. “What can we do? No matter where we go, my fiance and my mother will find us.”
Gregory leaned closer. “Do you not remember the promise we made to each other? I will always be by your side, my love. No matter what comes our way.” 
Cassie leaned closer as well. “But they’ll find us.. And when they do, they’ll kill you.” 
“Then I shall die for you.”
“But.. What if they use magic on me? Make me hurt you? They would do something like that.. My family..” Cassie asked.
“I will still love you till my last breath, my dearest Adele.. Nothing will ever change that.” The two of them stared at each other, not even noticing how close they were, just enjoying each other’s presence, before the teacher snapped them out of it. “Everyone! Clap for them! That was an amazing performance.” The whole class burst into applause for the two of them, and that was when Greg and Cassie realized that they had been embracing each other. The two of them pulled away, bright blushes on their cheeks.
“You did well.” “So did you.”
~
“That means nothing! We were just acting!” Gregory said defensively. “The way you two were looking at each other said it all, she was practically swooning at your words Greg.” Ally responded with a smirk. “And she had been admiring you when you were staring at the textbook, you could say she was giving you heart eyes man!” 
Greg simply shook his head. “She was simply acting!” 
“Well she gives you that look in class too.” Mason said. 
That made Gregory pause, and look up at him. “What?” “The other day, you were explaining something to her, and she was looking at you like you hung up the sun! She is so clearly crushing on you man!” 
The brunette blushed at that. Was that true?
“I can see her looking at you right now!~” Ally suddenly squealed, shaking Mason while gesturing to a table on the other side.
Gregory looked in that direction to see Cassie indeed sitting there, looking at him. When she saw him looking back at her, she waved, and the brunette swore he could see her blushing. He grinned like an idiot and waved back.
“Dude it is literally so painfully obvious. Why are you so clueless?!” Gregory groaned quietly. “I don’t like her! Goddamn you Ally.” “Wait guys, she's coming to our table!” Mason said, making Gregory’s heart leap. “Wait what?!” “Hey Gregory..” The brunette looked back to find Cassie standing there, her eyes shining excitedly. “H-Hey! Do you need something?” “Oh I was just wondering if you had a pen I could borrow? My pen ran out of ink and I'm not carrying a cartridge..” Gregory pulled out his pencil pouch and handed her a pen. “Here..” “Thanks.. I’ll return it at the end of the day.” Cassie said, before going back to her lunch table.
“She's lying man! I saw her pencil pouch, she does have a cartridge, it was just an excuse to talk to you!” Ally said, bouncing in her seat.
“She’s crushing on you!” “And you’re crushing on her too!” “Ugh! I’m not!” Were they ever going to let it go?
~
“Look kid, if you don’t admit it, I will go and confess to her for you.” Gregory groaned in response, looking over at the ex-nightguard. “Please don’t.” All he could imagine was the nightguard going up to Cassie and going on one knee with a ring, saying, ‘Will you be my daughter-in-law?’ That would be embarrassing, he would never live it down.
“We all would..” Roxy said with a shrug from the upstairs charging station. “PLEASE DON’T!” “Then admit you like her!” “I don’t! She’s just a friend!” Gregory tossed the nearest object at Vanessa, which happened to be his gel pen. It landed right on her head. “Ow! That’s not how you treat your adopted mom!” “Then stop bugging me about Cassie!” Vanessa’s face softened and she sat down next to the boy. “Sorry.. We were really just teasing you, did it upset you?” Greg looked away and nodded. “Yeah..” Vanessa hugged him. “I’m sorry baby.. We’ll stop bugging you about it. Promise.” Gregory hugged her back tighter with a smile. 
“Okay but seriously he does like her.” Freddy said from behind them, to which Gregory just groaned. “Spare me!”

AWW YOU AND @whumperofworlds both sent me this!!
Okay okay now I have to THINK. So this is in no particular order but here we go! Each piece has its TWs and a little snippet from it c:
1: BTHB 2023 - Near-Death Experience
TWs: car accident, near-death experience, panic attacks Time seemed to slow down as Bastian tried to scramble backwards, his own boots betraying him. He slipped after only a step or two, his feet disappearing out from beneath him as he fell towards the otherwise empty street. The van hit the curb with a bang and tipped, still hurtling towards Mariano roof-first. He hadn’t moved.
2: Mariano and Dimitri's Co-captives Arc (Here is part one)
TWs: Broken bones, kidnapping, torture, captivity “Mm.” Dimitri hummed, rolling his eyes. “I have to be if you’ve gotten so soft. Plus you’re bad at that, too, so I have to pick up the slack.”   Mariano frowned, looking at Dimitri. “You haven’t seen me beg for someone in years, you don’t know that. I’ve gotten way better at begging.” Dimitri rolled his eyes. “You’re the flattest person I’ve ever talked to. And I’ve known Izan for a long time.” He shot back. 
3: War Mage Vignettes
TWs: stitches, alcohol, discussion of being shot in the head, near death experiences Dimitri shot a glare at their medic from his post at the doorway of their dim room. “We’re not going to die here.” He hissed. “I don’t care that this was a fucking trap. We don’t die.” Laredo nodded. “Remember? A war mage isn’t dead until there are two bullets in his brain.” Izan hummed. “I still think one is enough for that. I don’t think I’d want to fight after getting shot in the head, at all.” “I would.” Dimitri growled.
4: BTHB 2023 - Possession (Andrew and Tobias belong to @whumpr / @brinkofdiscovery!!
TWs: Possession “Hey, this isn’t funny.” Andrew said, forcing a nervous laugh anyway. “That wasn’t cool. C'mon.” This time, when Andrew tried to step into the room, William lunged for the door. He threw himself to the floor with a snarl before grabbing his own wrist and tugging it to his chest. “Don’t come in, please.” William’s voice broke as he whined and pressed his face into the filthy tile floor. “Don’t–it, it wants–” One hand wound into his own hair, tugging harsh enough to rip some out alongside a yelp. Elliot felt like he was suffocating. “Guys, I don’t think he’s joking.” Not even Andrew could’ve been committed enough to this bit to pull out hair, much less William. What did they even do now? William was the one who’d even brought anti-ghost shit.
5: A Month of Whump's March Trope-a-Thon Day 1 - Environmental / Snowstorm
TWs: hypothermia, non-sexual nudity Bastian growled to himself as he skidded down the rocks that Mariano had tumbled down. They hadn’t expected the path to give that far away from the edge, and Mariano hadn’t even had a chance to shout before he was swept away. “I swear to god, if he’s an icicle when I get there, I’ll let him freeze.” As the temperature kept dropping and the snow kept falling, though, Bastian had to accept that he was just complaining. He could feel the tug in his chest getting more urgent. The presence that Mariano’s magic held got weaker, sleepier. It curled up smaller and smaller, starting to flicker. When it began to fade, Bastian started running. He barrelled through snowy trees, crashed through brush, and finally, finally, it felt like he was getting close. Ripping through low hanging branches, Bastian’s heart just about stopped when he stumbled into a clearing. “Mariano!”

I'm playing GTA IV for the first time in years, and I didn't get very far the first time around because I was very new to the GTA series and having to start the missions all over made me rage quit the game. However, since I got eons better at shooting, melee attacks, and driving in GTA, I decided to give GTA IV another chance. I'm so glad I did! Here are my initial thoughts and gameplay recap. (Please no spoilers as I want to find out myself what happens next!)
Roman is a lot more... simpy in the game than I remember. Like dude, stop asking invasive questions about Niko's love life.
I like dressing Niko at the clothing store. Michelle thought his pants and boots were nice!
I honestly love playing pool in the game moreso than bowling. (Sorry Roman.)
Having Niko change the music station to jazz music while on a street chase is Top Tier Comedy™.
Roman seems to get in a lot of sticky situations, much like Lamar in GTA V.
I was trying to buy a hotdog for Niko at one of those hotdog stands but I accidentally got out his gun and the stand guy was like "We don't need unruly customers!" SIR don't yell at Niko for learning that the weapon selection is different for GTA IV! He just wanted a hot dog! (Which made me go to the diner to get him a burger.)
When Niko called the carnival "funfair," my mind went to the scene in SpongeBob where Squidward yells at SpongeBob for putting down "funfair" on his strike sign instead of "unfair."
Vlad was a Grade A asshole. Sheesh.
I wonder what will happen next, as he's doing things for Dimitri? Found out next time on Dragonball Z.

Hi Olivie! Here is part 3 (and the last part for now) of the praise I’ve meant to give you throughout the year. If you can believe me please know I did have every intention of making this short but…
Spoilers for One for My Enemy included.
BESTIE DID YOU PUT SOME OF BABA YAGA’S INTOXICANTS IN THIS??? BECAUSE WOW WAS IT ADDICTING. Of course I HAVE to bring up MashaDima because damn the angst they had was INCREDIBLE. Now I am a lover of angst (one of my favorite things ever I deliberately find angsty fics and books to read because I love pain), and this one definitely gave me what I wanted. There were times I actually had to stop reading for the night because I physically could not move on from it. Here is the part that like really made me have to take a pause for a night LOL I texted all my friends these quotes and I said “how do I recover” and I never did so enjoy what sparked a breakdown:
“Don't make this about technicalities. We knew a long time ago we couldn't be together, Dima, we knew twelve years ago we didn't stand a chance. We chose our sides, and now-“ “No. You chose your side," Dimitri reminded her, stroking her hair as her eyes fluttered open, meeting his. "You chose. You didn't let me choose, did you?" She blinked. "What?" "You married Stas." His voice was gravely pained. "You shut me out. You gave your life to someone else." "Because I know, above everything, you are your father's son," she began, but Dimitri cut her off. "No. No, Masha, I am my own man." He stroked a line down the back of her neck, loosely cupping his hand around it. "Why didn't you let me choose you?" he asked hoarsely. "I would have gone to you, Masha, if you'd asked. You would've only had to ask, and I would have chosen you over everything."
"I love you," Dimitri reminded her, and reached up, touching her cheek as she stared at him; willing him, impossibly, to stop talking, or even less likely, compelling herself to go. "I will always love you, I will love you until the day I die-and if you're the one to kill me, then by all means, you should know without a trace of doubt you will not have turned me away. I will have spent the final beat of my heart loving you, just as I always have. Only you, Masha," he said, and she bent in anguish, resting her forehead against the still-sluggish motion of his chest. "Only you, forever, I promise."
They are plenty more quotes that had me like that, this book was a gold mine for quotes that will live with me forever. Like the quote how his love made it so she could never be weak and how her love made it so nothing will ever stop him (who gave you the right to wreck me with these please). I loved how you kept bringing up the sun, the moon, and the stars for them too. It got me all emotional every time. And their end had me full blown tearing up which never happens to me. I was so emotional (even though I was pretty sure their ending would be tragic it still broke me) but I’m also so happy they are getting their forever in the afterlife 😭. They will continue to cause me emotional distress forever as they now live rent free in my head so thank you bestie. Masha is also my girl, I’m not the eldest sibling (although I do only have one sibling and she has disabilities so I’ve been the older sister in a lot of ways), but I related to her a lot and I just love her so much, definitely one of my favorite characters that I’ve read of yours.
Moving on from MashaDima to other things I loved:
Of course, SashaLev. Their text messages had me laughing so much (like the serum for blushing that was $74.99) but also just in general. I loved their little reverse grumpy sunshine dynamic, as a grumpy gal myself I always love that dynamic. I’m very happy they got to write their long story together 🥺. I also loved all the sibling dynamics especially with the Antonova sisters, they felt so real. I definitely know I have had a red sweater incident with my own sister 😂. Loved the bridge too and all his sarcasm. The last thing I want to talk about is the quotes that dealt with grief and struggle/growth.
“You are not incomplete because a piece of your heart is gone. You are you, an entire whole, all on your own. If you have loved and been loved, then you are richer for it; you don’t become a smaller version of yourself simply because what you once had is gone.” and “Strength comes from struggle. Each time we bid farewell to a piece of ourselves we become different than we were. But each time we rise again in the morning it’s a victory. Keep your memories. Keep your emotions, Keep your pain. Use them. Happiness, contentment, they are dull but persuvies lures. A rosy disposition only means you miss what's lurking in the trees.”
The one about loss really stuck with me especially because as I’ve said before I lost one of my favorite people, my grandma, this year and some days that can still be really hard even though it’s been since February. I had the privilege of having her as my grandma and to be loved and to love her and I will always have those memories and be richer for it. So thank you for that. The second one sticks with me because of how true it is. It reminds me in part of coming out of depression and the struggles with that but also just in general too. Each day we can each battle different struggles but every day we wake up and fight again. I just love those two quotes so much and they have been sticking with me ever since I read them, so I just wanted you to know they mean something to someone.
I absolutely loved this story and I can’t wait for its release with new stuff (and more angst 👀 as you said on twitter). It actually comes out right before my birthday so I will be treating myself to all the editions for it.
Unrelated by I also saw your last newsletter and a line about a “The artist doing the end pages is still confidential but hooooooooly shit, you’re about to get your minds blown, especially if you love a morally grey angel and her golden retriever of a reaper.” had me SCREAMING. MayraCal are my beloveds I’m obsessed with them you don’t understand, it felt like a dream seeing that tease lol I’m so exicted!!!
I apologize that it’s taken so long to do all of these once again (and for my inability to keep anything short) but love you hope is all is well, have fun on tour!!! Will be back to send more praise after finishing more of your work.
-Amanda ❤️
I’m sad to hear about the loss of your grandma, but glad I could be there for you, however distantly. I spent a good amount of time working on the style aspects of OFME for its rerelease in april and I think there are more lines in it that feel… well, extremely OFME, haha. I always say that what some people want from atlas is actually more applicable in OFME, which is more of a romance and leans heavier on angst as opposed to irony. I do like to think there’s something extra propulsive about it compared to my other works, so thank you for the suggestion I’ve laced it with drugs. a very high compliment
and by now you guys know that @polartss is doing the MOD end pages—WOWWWOWOWOWOW are you going to die when you see them
