Trope: enemies to lovers
Enemies-To-Lovers: Grade A (Spend my time combing AO3 for it)
I have to be honest, when I go for enemies-to-lovers, what I actually crave 99% of the time is enemies-to-friends-to-lovers, but that's really long to type out and a lot of people just write 'enemies-to-lovers' as shorthand for that.
True enemies-to-lovers is something I don't usually enjoy, where the characters simply continue to genuinely hate each other the entire relationship-- like, I'm not into reading hatesex or whatever, that just doesn't happen to be my thing.
But if it's somebody who thinks they really really hate someone but there's another part of their brain that secretly really likes them? *chef's kiss* That's good stuff. Can't get enough.
And if they're sworn rivals and they start to develop a friendly rapport and slowly change from frenemies to something deeper, and are the only two people who truly understand one another? And it gradually shifts from hate to affection? And one day, the one person they used to hate the most is the one person they could now never imagine themselves apart from? 🥺 Aw heck yeah.

Gay FE7 Support of the Day: Heath x Legault
Here’s another one where I just did some tweaking of the A. I know these may be a little less interesting than completely overhauled or brand new supports, but there are also more of them -- a lot of the original supports are quite enjoyable and do a lot to build characterization. Most of my major effort is being spent on the brand new supports, with some old ones getting larger overhauls if an idea really strikes.
Why am I not restricting myself to posting such larger efforts? Well, a couple of reasons. One is that I know there are fans of some of the couples that are receiving smaller tweaks, and I don’t want them to be left out. Another is that, as I said, such smaller changes are a large part of the hack and I don’t want to give people unrealistic expectations by posting nothing but largely original work. A third is that I’d like to keep some of the brand new stuff under wraps for people to explore post-release, and if I put it all up as supports of the day that wouldn’t be possible!
All of that said, if you see your favorite couple put up as a smaller piece like this, you are more than welcome to submit your own script for consideration. It might just make it in!
Anyway, this is a couple that I like, and whose original supports I found to be both amusing and cute. I tried to be minimally invasive while nudging the door open a little bit further with my tweaks. It really didn’t take much!

Fire Emblem Elibe - Skills
Or: “How I Would’ve Handed Out Jugdral/Tellius/Modern Style Skills.”
There were enough Skills to go around that I could assign two characters to a skill for both the FE6 and FE7 parts of the game, including new characters. The only exceptions were Merlinus, Nils, Ninian, Lalum, and Elphin; as strict utility characters, they didn’t get Skills. Otherwise, it would’ve been Miracle or Bargain for all of them.
I’ll also do a refresher on what each of the skills were and who I would’ve assigned them to. Some of the assignments are very much themed, and some are explicitly for shoring up statistical weaknesses of the character in question.
Adept - Skill% to perform an immediate followup attack. FE6: Hugh, Niime. FE7: Wil, Dorcas.
Awareness - Negates the enemy’s combat related skills. FE6: Klein, Sue. FE7: Rath, Pent.
Blossom - +10% to all Growth Rates. FE6: Chad, Dorothy. FE7: Available through Afa’s Drops.
Cancel - Skill% to negate the enemy’s next attack. FE6: Melady, Allen. FE7: Bauker, Harken.
Charisma - Allies within 3 spaces gain +15% to Hit and +10% Evade. FE6: Roy, Echidna. FE7: Eliwood, Priscilla.
Counter- Skill% to instantly deal half the damage you just took to the enemy. FE6: Dieck, Wade. FE7: Isadora, Hawkeye.
Daunt - Enemies within 3 spaces lose -10% to Hit and -10% to Evade. FE6: Gonzales, Rutger. FE7: Raven, Vaida.
Discipline - Gain Weapon Ranks at twice the rate. FE6: Lance, Lugh. FE7: Kent, Erk.
Fortune - Enemies can’t land critical hits on this unit. FE6: Saul, Fae. FE7: Nino, Jan.
Gamble - Activated ability. -20% to Hit, +15% to Crit. FE6: Wolt, Geese. FE7: Rebecca, Geitz.
Guard - Activated ability, take damage for one adjacent ally. FE6: Zealot, Barth. FE7: Available through Bonus Scrolls.
Imbue - At the start of the player phase, restore Health equal to 25% Might. FE6: Fir, Dayan. FE7: Guy, Karla.
Initiative - +20% to Hit and +10% Evade on attacks personally initiated. FE6: Shin, Lilina. FE7: Hector, Canas.
Miracle - Luck% to survive fatal damage with 1 HP. FE6: Cecilia, Ellen. FE7: Serra, Ursula.
Nullify - This unit doesn’t take Effective Damage. FE6: Bors, Gale. FE7: Wallace, Lowen.
Paragon - Doubled experience gain. FE6: Clarine. Noah. FE7: Eleanora, Louise.
Pass - Move through enemy units. FE6: Cath, Shanna. FE7: Matthew, Legault.
Provoke - Enemies more likely to attack this unit. FE6: Bartre, Percival. FE7: Sain, Bartre (again).
Reflex - +20% to Hit and +10% Evade on attacks during the enemy phase. FE6: Guinevere, Raigh. FE7: Lyn, Florina.
Renewal - At the start of the player phase, restore 30% Max Health. FE6: Yodel, Treck. FE7: Renault, Athos.
Resolve - When at 30% HP or less, +50% Skill and Speed. FE6: Wendy, Douglas. FE7: Oswin, Heath.
Saviour - Negates the stat penalty while Rescuing. FE6: Marcus, Juno. FE7: Marcus (again), Fiora.
Stillness - Enemies won’t target this unit unless they’re the only valid target. FE6: Sophia, Igrene. FE7: Lucius, Jaffar.
Vantage - Take the first attack during the enemy phase while at 50% Health or less. FE6: Ashtol, Karel. FE7: Karel (again), Leila.
Weapon Saver - (Luck x 2)% to not use up Weapon Quality on hit. FE6: Oujay, Thea. FE7: Available through Bonus Scrolls.
Wrath - +25% to Critical Hits when at 50% Health or less. FE6: Garret, Zeiss. FE7: Dart, Farina.
Would I have done Personal Skills? Maybe...maybe not. Did you see how large the FE6 cast list is? I’d have to borrow so much from Fates!

Legault x Matthew
A+: OTPA: I love itB: It’s really cuteC: Not a bad shipD: I’m neutral on itE: I don’t really like itF: NOTPN/A: I don’t know the ship well enough
See, this is my problem; I want to be flexible with ships and I want to consider all ships that are interesting because it’s a fun thing to think about, but I got so freaking invested in certain ships back when I first started playing FE that now, years later, I have a hard time considering any other possibilities. Legault/Heath is one such ship. It’s like, probably in my top 5 FE ships of all time, across all games. I’m obsessed with it. So, it’s really really hard for me to objectively think about other ships for them.BUT for the sake of this meme, I will try. I do have to say that this ship is a lot better than certain others (Legault/Isadora, for example, or Heath/Priscilla, aka a ship that needs to die a fiery death). These two characters would have a super interesting relationship because they do have stuff in common (personalities that alternate between super flippant and super intense, an incredibly strong sense of loyalty, the experience of losing a lover/loved one due to their line of work), and I think that they would clash at first because of it, but then eventually start to bond. I do think that they’d ultimately be a good influence on each other, and maybe would be able to help each other start to forgive themselves. So basically, if I could get my head out of my ass when it comes to Heath/Legault, I would say that this is an intriguing and not-half-bad ship. However, I am too damn far down the Heath/Legault wormhole, so I probably won’t be actively shipping Legault/Matthew anytime soon (although I do think that their relationship as friends would be extremely interesting as well).
send me a ship and I’ll grade it
