Yeah I’m cringe yeah I think about how probably a year or so after the events of Threshold she starts displaying needy clingy behaviors toward Chakotay. And he dismisses her sudden heightened attachment for a while. But then it gradually gets more and more intense. And it’s like Oh there’s something biological going on here. And it’s an awkward waiting period of Chakotay blatantly rejecting Kathryn’s advances and trying to keep her from following him around everywhere and sneaking into his quarters each night while the Doctor tries to frantically come up with a cure. I figure her heat cycle probably occurs like once or twice a year, just so it isn’t SUPER inconvenient to bounce around. And it takes a few cycles for them to get their preventative treatment down for it. But definitely around the season 3/season 4 area of time when it happens it’s everyones guess as to how to help her out when there’s CLEARLY only one easy solution and no one wants to tell her because it’s a little personal lol.

Professor Mercedes AU Concept: Edelgard and Hubert don't know Jeritza and Mercedes are siblings. And one night, when reviewing the plans for the impending invasion, Hubert has his The-Usual-Suspects-drops-coffee-mug moment, as the pieces of a puzzle he didn't even know were there click into place, because he was so lost in the details he missed what anyone could guess by looking at them.
It's an understandable presumption, he thinks at first. On the surface, there was nothing that connected Jeritza von Bartels, their human weapon positioned at Garreg Mach, with Mercedes von Martritz, the goddess worshiping new co-professor. When one finds a man covered in blood that is not his own and says he's killed his family, well, most people would rule out him having a sibling walking around somewhere. And wait, there are no records of von Bartels ever having a daughter-
Unless- he remembers a minor detail from the documents of empire lords he'd studied like the spymaster he is- there was that brief marriage in imperial year 1157, and though the names escaped him, wasn't there a daughter from a previous marriage? He knew the wife had fled the house... and one would only need to imagine she took her daughter with her for the pieces to click together.
The timelines don't just line up, they complimented each other. One child leaves, the other stays until they couldn't take it anymore.
They're long lost siblings, and Hubert didn't know. Like, imagine how insane it would drive him that he missed that, and that it could actually destroy their entire plan. If they find out they're long lost siblings, Jeritza might turn on them and warn about the upcoming war, and everything falls apart. A long dead man's marital history was surprisingly crucial.
Byleth had drawn their attention, yet it's the other one, this soft, inexperienced, goddess worshiping, scatterbrained woman, who wasn't even on their radar of potential threats, could now be the key to stopping their plans altogether. Without. even. meaning to. Just by virtue of where life had taken her.
Suddenly a very big target is on Mercedes von Martritz- or, should he say, Mercedes von Bartel's back. Something needs to be done, now.
(Bonus: Mercedes tells Ferdinand her backstory in their B+ support, so FERDINAND, fucking FERDINAND had intel that Hubert didn't, and if he didn't hate him so much he might have figured this out earlier.
Linhardt: of course Professor Mercedes and Jeritza are siblings. I thought we all knew that. (sound of hubert breaking something it the background))
