I decided to rewrite the plot of Fire Emblem Fates for some damn reason, so here's Corrin if they were twins and also children (no idea what their canon names would be - that's still undecided). The rewrite starts with the two of them and Azura as kids playing in a Hoshidan forest until Nohrian spies capture one of the twins in retaliation for the Hoshidans stealing away Azura when she was a baby. One thing leads to another, and the other twin, terrified and enraged, loses control and awakens their dragon powers in response, trying to fight back to no avail. Their twin gets stolen away and taken to Nohr, and Azura comforts the newly-empowered twin with her singing voice, allowing them to slowly return back to their original state.

If this was actually the in-game storyline, the player would theoretically be able to pick which twin they want to play as, the other one being taken away. The route split would still exist (with three routes), but I'm thinking that would happen after a timeskip (the protagonist, Azura, etc. would then be the ages they are in the original).

All of this is in the early stages of development lol, but it's kind of fun reimagining Fates. We all know the story is rubbish, but I did enjoy playing through the games when they came out, and I think it has a lot of unexplored potential.
