Recruitment - Revelations Chapter 11 (Mutual Enemies)

Before Battle | During Battle | After Battle | Chapter Data

[Scene shifts to Amane]

Amane: Thank you. I will see to the wounded shortly. We leave as soon as they’re able to travel.

Mizuki ninja: Yes, my lady.

[Exit Mizuki ninja]

[If Nagame was killed (defeated by someone other than Seiji)] [Enter Seiji] Amane: Seiji… Seiji: I'm sorry. We couldn’t spare him. Amane: It’s not your fault. We knew it was going to be difficult. Amane: Our mission was a huge success. We had few casualties. That’s already more than we could ask for. [Else, if Nagame is alive (undefeated or was defeated by Seiji)] Saizo: I can’t believe what I’m seeing. You’re going to let him go, just like that? He betrayed the village—betrayed you. Amane: I remember, Saizo, I was there. Amane: Village law dictates he pay for that with his life. But for whatever reason, he spared a number of us during our operation here. It’s only fair we do the same. Nagame (aside): …

[Enter Corrin]

Corrin: There you are! You must be Amane. Kaze told me about you. Thank you for helping us rescue Kagero.

Amane: Please, think nothing of it, Lord/Lady Corrin. Our goals were aligned. It was a pleasure fighting alongside you and yours.

Corrin: How would you like to keep fighting with us? We could use someone of your skills.

Amane: Y-You want me to join you? I’m flattered but uh… [glances at Seiji]

Seiji: (Don’t look at me. He/She asked you.)

Amane: (Seiji!)

[If Nagame is alive] Corrin: And what about you, in the shadows? Would you like to join us? Saizo: You can’t be serious. He’s our enemy! Corrin: That’s in the past. There’s no reason why we can’t work together now. We need as many allies as we can get to defeat the enemy we’re facing. I’m willing to place my faith in him. [Nagame emerges from the trees] Nagame: You’re a fool. But I suppose I’m no better. Very well, my blade is yours, Lord/Lady Corrin.

Amane: …

Amane: I’m sorry—

Seiji: Oh, alright. I’ll take care of things back home. You go with them.

Amane: Huh?

Seiji: Hey, what’s with that look? You don’t think I can handle it? Don’t forget, I was once the heir presumptive.

Amane: That’s not—I thought you hate doing administrative work!

Seiji: I do, which is why you owe me one.

Amane: Wha—

Amane: Alright, I understand. Thank you, Seiji.

[moe-broey]

One thing about me is before Alfonse and Sharena became The Proxies it was actually Takumi and Corrin with a side of Sakura.

[oh-cool-a-burning-sword]

I'm bored and the Brave Banner's a few days away so... possible predictions?

First possibility I can think of (and kinda hope doesn't happen) is that seeing as 3/4 of the CYL winners primarily use tomes, Instys decides to make everyone on the banner a tome user. I hope this isn't the case cuz I want there to be some variety.

now for what I think each character could be

Robin

For Robin, I think his unit will depend on two things. If they give Corrin Omega Yato, and if this is actually Robin and not Grima stealing another slot. (Grima took F!Robin's Legendary and Rearmed alt, they could do the same to M!Robin).

If Robin gets to use a sword, then it'll most likely be a variant of the Levin Sword. If he's a tome user I can imagine he'd be blue or colorless? Same if he happens to be a dragon unit. I feel like Green'll go to either Soren or Gullveig.

As for his design, had they not given Robin a legendary alt this year I would have said grandmaster. But he has a legendary alt so it's a little up in the air what his Brave Alt'll be. Maybe he'll get a Plegian outfit to represent his past, or a Ylissean outfit to represent his found family.

Or maybe they use this variation of the grandmaster design from the Cypher cards:

Granted, this is only if Robin's not being possessed by Grima. In which case he could look like this:

I'm hoping Grima doesn't steal another Robin slot but you never know.

Gullveig

Gullveig's a weird case. Seeing as she's currently the second Feh OC to win CYL... and she was out for about a month when she won. Back then we barely knew anything about her so it was hard to say what she'd end up like. Though now that we're more than halfway through Book 7's story and we know that Gullveig's the future version of Seidr, I think we have a clearer picture.

I think Gullveig could become a green or colorless tome user. The only reason I'm suggesting Green is because one possibility for Gullveig's design could be putting together some elements of Seidr and Kvasir. Represent all three versions of herself in one?

It's also gonna be kinda interesting if Seidr turns into Gullveig next chapter. Not sure it'll happen but she DID get infected with the Golden Serpents. Imagine if Seidr turns into Brave Gullveig.

Soren

Soren's likely gonna be a tome user, either green or colorless. He COULD be a dagger unit though, as one of his class promotions lets him throw knives. But it's more likely that he'll be tome.

His design varies. I kinda want him to wear something resembling his parents, though I find this to be unlikely as he doesn't know who his parents are. So I think he'll either be a sage, wind mage or an archsage. I feel like Archsage could be more likely though, and if not, then that'll be his legendary alt... if Soren ever gets one.

Corrin

Now Corrin's a bit easier to figure out. There's a 50/50 chance that she'll be either a sword user (and have Omega Yato as her weapon) or a dragon unit (and have something to represent her father Anankos, and she'd likely be a blue unit).

Design wise, there's three possibilities. One could be a design similar to Mikoto, one could be the Hoshidan Noble outfit and the last one Valla monarch. Out of the three, Valla Monarch the most likely outfit, at least in my opinion. Hinoka's legendary design already resembles Mikoto and the Hoshidan Noble outfit should be reserved for Male Corrin should he ever get his legendary alt.

In which case, based off Cypher cards this should be the design.

[wardencommanderrodimiss]

So, in Fates, Azura (and Corrin) is able to access Valla through any body of water, and she can either return through that same body of water, or via the Bottomless Canyon. But do you think she can enter Valla through one body of water, and then exit through a different one? Do you think Azura and Corrin could just warp around the continent via waterways?

[freakshowcowboy]

sorry i cant stop thinking about the good fe fates that lives in my head

[justrandomselfships]

Literally how can ANYONE hate Takumi?

[scatmaan]

fire emblem fates is wild bc it just has straight up incest in it

[artsymephy]

Hunter asked his uncle how tall he was and he was just idk figure it out😆 he's trying !!

Reference

I saw this cute Hoshido siblings comic strip and it’s been rent free in my head for years. And of course I gotta combine Fire Emblem with everything I like so

[plaguelily-art]

Artwork completed for @ferarepairweek. This was for Day 4, and I went with "Clothes".

Okay, this one probably needs some explaining too. So, this is Sumeragi, Mikoto, and my design for Ikona, and I absolutely headcanon them as a all being in love with each other, and I have for years. This goes way back to when Fates was still popular, and I kept seeing a lot of headcanons portraying Ikona as jealous of Mikoto and/or with the two generally not getting along, and like, that's valid and all, but it really didn't work for me. And so one rainy morning walking to a college class I wondered, "What if Ikona and Mikoto were in love?" which was quickly followed by, "What if all three were in love?" Which then made all their deaths in Fates all the more tragic for me, and so I've stuck with it ever since. So while I know this is technically a canon ship, since my headcanons go against a lot of popular fanon, and these three as a canon thruple get entirely ignored by both fans and IntSys, I still feel justified in calling this ship a rarepair.

I, unsurprisingly given my love for wildly underdeveloped dead moms, have a ton of thoughts about Ikona, and I also spent a really long time trying to figure out her appearance based on how the Hoshido siblings look, which I might share later (I have an idea for an artwork for just Ikona, and that would be a better place to write out my headcanons for her). But to explain a little, I do have Ikona sharing her hair and eye color with Takumi--I think there's something rather bittersweet about Takumi being the only one to look a lot like his biological mother.

As fond of this ship as I am, I am never drawing Sumeragi and his Sonic Hedgehog hair again if I can avoid it.

[genshingorlsrevengeance]

Hello! ^-^

Can I please request Alear, Yunaka, Framme, and Etie hearing that their S/O worships the fell dragon, but when they question them it turns out they're just a massive fan of Robin?

This kind of scenario has been in my head since I started the game hehe.

Have a nice day ^-^ thank you for the stories!

(FE: Engage) Alear, Yunaka, Framme, and Etie's S/O worshipping the "Fell Dragon"

Now that I think about it, if you did worship the fell dragon legit but were still part of the good guys, would you get persecuted?

Alear immediately tenses up when S/O mentions they worshipped the Fell Dragon.

(Alear) "...Are...you truly okay helping us then, S/O? I'm the Divine Dragon after all."

(S/O) "Hm? Why wouldn't I be estatic? I get to fight alongside Robin, it's like a dream come true!"

(Alear) "O-Oh. That's what you mean."

Marth suddenly appeared next to her.

(Marth) "I'm not exactly sure Robin would feel comfortable being called that."

(S/O) "Hm...I suppose that is kinda insensitive."

(Alear) "...In more ways than one."

She simply sighs and shakes her head.

(Alear) "Saying that kinda thing will give people the wrong idea, S/O. Please make sure you choose your words more carefully."

Yunaka's eyes widen at the mention of the Fell Dragon.

(Yunaka) "You what?! But...Why are you even here, and why did you mention it so offhandedly?!"

(S/O) "Huh? What do you mean?"

(Yunaka) "People just don't go around saying "Oh, I worship the god trying to kill us!"

(S/O) "OH! No, I mean Robin!...Do you even know the history of Emblems Robin and Chrom?"

(Yunaka) "Probably enough to know that he'd probably hate being called that! Who the heck would start that as an icebreaker for a conversation!?"

(S/O) "I worship the Fell Dragon."

(Framme) "You

WHAT?!"

Framme screams out, waiting to beat S/O to death with her hands, or the accounting book of the fan club for the Divine Dragon.

(S/O) "Hey, what's wrong with liking Robin?! They're pretty cool!"

(Framme) "...Oh, that's what you mean!"

Framme quickly tossed aside a large rock.

(Framme) "Listen, you can't just casually saying that, considering what's going on out there!"

(S/O) "...Oh yeah, guess that does sound bad."

(Framme) "You think?!"

(Etie) "Oh, neat you worship the Fell Dra-What?"

Etie immediately stops wiping the sweat off herself and turns to S/O with an extremely concerned expression.

(Etie) "Are...you alright?"

(S/O) "Hm? I'm fine, why?"

(Etie) "You just said you worshipped the Fell Dragon, and you don't expect me to be surprised by that?"

(S/O) "But Chloé loves people like Sigurd for being fairy-tale esque. Can I not like Robin for being cool?"

(Etie) "OOOOOH! Okay, you meant RObin! Well, next time just say that instead of the freakin' dragon trying to kill us!"

(S/O) "Oh, yeah that is a good point."

(Etie) "Besides, I don't think you should just casually bring that up. If it were someone other than me, you might have gotten beaten up considering all of us here worship the Divine Dragon."

===

Bonus:

(Robin) "I'd...really appreciate if you didn't call me that."

(Chrom) "Honestly, I'm surprised that even got in the stories told around here."

(Lucina) "But it seems...distasteful, does it not?"

(Robin) "I suppose it makes sense, our past is just a story to them."

(Chrom) "Kind of like how Hoshido and Nohr's war is a story in our world, but current events for Camilla and Corrin."

(S/O) "My bad, I'll make sure not to call you Fell Dragon anymore!"

(Robin) "...Well, at least you're not going around, shouting "I love the Fell Dragon" to everyone you meet."

(S/O) "..."

(Robin) "...Oh my gods.-"

[frogintheair]

a silly au where alear gets transported to the fates world OR a self-indulgent reason to draw him in the sky knight class

some design and self-indulgent au thoughts under read more :) (ENGAGE SPOILERS)

i like to imagine this au follows a similar format to the hidden truths DLC w/ the awakening trio, except alear ends up in hoshido randomly HJFKDJ

played around with the idea that alear's appearance would mostly change with anankos' power so he doesn't retain many of his prominent design features (like the dual-tone hair color) and i love the headcanon that other FE games are referenced as legends or stories as well...

so alear having either the blue hair or both red & blue would be a dead giveaway FKDJKDSJH. and since his past as a fell dragon is lesser known, he has the red hair in this au :) though it definitely would freak him out at first especially since his hair was one of the biggest signs that he was divine and having that taken away from him is still... shocking!

he's still a divine dragon tho anankos isnt THAT powerful... guy just has world's strongest hair dye & eye contacts ever

^ alear when he realizes he doesn't have his blue hair anymore

i gave him a little tiny feather hairclip as well in reference to veyle... and his hair is put up in a ponytail to follow the trend of many of the hoshidan men having either long hair or ponytails lol. and the earrings because who can stop me.... im panlear's strongest soldier

also i'd imagine him to be a neutral character who follows corrin based on their choices, since he'd be familiar with them since they're an emblem ring and he knows of corrin!! so seeing the real deal would be like !!!!

here are some alternative versions with his different hair colors 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

ok thats all! thank you for reading if you got this far!!

[emblemxeno]

Something ironic is that even though 3H is a massive game with a very strong and consistent creative fandom, I have had no creative spark with that game beyond discourse lol.

Of course, my type of creative output is different from most people's; I like reading into things, analyzing dialogue to recontextualize characters as a whole, look for real world analogies, hypothesize potential non-canon interactions, etc.

E.g., the Nohr siblings and their relationships with their father, with each other, or the court is never explicitly laid out in detail as to what happened. At best, you get basic extrapolations such as "we were told not to talk to Azura" or "our mothers used us as tools to curry favor and to sabotage/hurt one another."

Put those backstories and character traits against events in the story? It makes you think. Elise, Leo, and Camilla are stressed tf out and panicking over Xander and Corrin's fight during chapter 2, cuz siblings hurting each other = one's gonna die to them. Corrin choosing Hoshido or even siding with neither kingdom is a strike against Xander's ego and his built up sense of normalcy as a stoic fraternal unit trying to hold together the last remnants of his family. Camilla intertwines violence and love because she was raised receiving love and affection from her mother only after being subservient to her mom's terrible actions towards the other concubines and royal children. Leo is on Forrest's case at first because he has his on warped sense of "bringing shame and dishonor" to his family, an amalgamation of his loneliness when the other sibs focus on Corrin despite his own accomplishments and his mom most likely drilling it into his head that he has to be talented to be an honorable prince; it's little wonder he lets up on Forrest when he sees his son doing something noble and selfless like healing and attending to an entire town. Elise is an outlier because she's so young, and that either manifests as reckless, well-meaning bravery, or blubbering, immature outbursts draped in ignorance; she knows nothing beyond her supposedly good family unit other than what's been told to her second-hand, so how is she supposed to react when the rug is pulled from under her?

With 3H I don't get that kind of stuff, partly because the game is just that packed with dialogue and auxiliary comments from characters (IMO, a big reason why things seem bloated), and partly because of the way the story is delivered; since Byleth is a silent protagonist, character dialogue seesaws between having a conversation and telling/expositing at you, which results in a restrictive writing style that's actively harmful to implicit writing or subtext. There's nothing to scratch your brain about, because the game pretty much does that for you. And while many think having characters comment on story events each chapter in Garreg Mach is a positive to world building and narrative depth, I actually think the opposite, because the medium in which this dialogue and insights are given-talking to them with a silent protag who can't ever have an actual conversation-feels like I'm a scientist putting variables against each other and extracting data and information from the results, rather than a story with believable characters with lives, dreams, and relationships.

...Though, writing this out, maybe that's why it's appealing to other creatives. Maybe it's the equivalent to getting a 2,000 piece lego set, and switching only a few things around without dismantling the entire base project. The product itself is seen as art that can be altered in specific, minute ways that inspire curiosity and creative reaction.

I, on the other hand, get the most fun out of thinking about why the pieces fit together in the first place and how well they do in practice. Different strokes, I guess.

[moe-broey]

Don't Forget that the Asker sibs' Mom might actually have Powerful Blood within her and got married to help her 'Calm Down Time™' But it's uuuuuh, probably not working. (And also the devs are HUGE cowards for not letting her go berserk)

LITERALLY ACTUALLY HOW COULD I FORGET TO ADD THAT. IN MY ASKR FUCKED UP FAMILY POST. They are the LEAST NORMAL "Normal" family and it drives me INSANE LMFAO

And like another tag tangent I'm actually gonna put on blast inspired by this.

What are the implications of this!!!!!! For Alfonse and Sharena!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE. The implications could be VASTLY different for BOTH of them. Because. Sharena. Sharena might not even be. The Sharena that was born into the family with their blood. Does This Have Implications For Peony As Well Actually????????? And honestly I don't know what the implications would be for Alfonse (and Lif by extension????) since we don't even really know what this powerful blood of Henriette's IS. Like knowing Fire Emblem it's a coinflip maybe she's a dragon maybe not. But hey. Hey. What does that mean. For Her Children.

[natsuki208]

My FE14 AU - What if the Hoshidan siblings were related to Corrin… and were dragons!

(Sorry that this is late @moneyisthebestlawyerinh3ll but I managed it now)

• In this AU, Mikoto held the power to turn into a dragon for she was given some blood of Anankos. After certain events in Valla, she fled to Hoshido where she met King Sumeragi.

• They fell in love and he became the only one outside of Valla whom knew about her dragon powers, promising not to let anyone else know for it could cause chaos in the kingdom.

• This power was later passed down to their five children; all of them were told to keep it secret as well.

• When children, they could only sprout their horns, tails, teeth and run on all fours with claws.

• Ryoma liked being a dragon as a kid. He learned to hunt on the castle grounds and play fight with Hinoka occasionally. Unfortunately, his full dragon form was huge and destructive, he took out half of Castle Shirasagi. Now as a mature adult, he prefers to remain human.

(But if the situation calls for it, or if he’s angry enough, he will go full out with the dragonstone)

• Hinoka was about the same as Ryoma when younger, only she quitted being like a dragon so she could learn the naginata instead. Because she became a sky knight, her dragon form evolved to have pegasus like wings. She still remained human most of the time, even after reuniting with Corrin.

• Takumi never liked the fact of inheriting dragon powers, in fact, he hated it. He repeatedly called it a curse no matter how much his mother and older siblings tried to convinced him. After seeing Corrin in action with their’s, he slowly accepted that part of himself and fought alongside them.

• Did I forgot to mention that Corrin and Takumi are twins in this AU? (Takumi is the youngest) so their dragon forms look very similar with different colors.

• Sakura was the most insecure about her powers, hence why she grew her hair out so it would hide her pointed ears. Like Takumi, she embraced it once seeing Corrin battling in their form and learned to become a fighter herself. Her dragon may be smaller than the others, but her wings made the perfect defence shield.

• Lastly, all five were given the dragonstones by Azura (probably parts of her amulet). They all embraced being dragons once the great war was finally over.

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

Honestly, one of the "best" parts of Fates' writing is that it's bad in so specific ways that there is just enough good stuff there that it gets people thinking about ways in which it could be better. For example, here are some of my own ideas:

Anankos, the Rainbow Sage, the Nohr Dragon and the Hoshido Dragon were siblings like the "modern" Nohr/Hoshido siblings, and the Nohr/Hoshido dragons were female. Those two and the Rainbow Sage sealed themselves into a human form to put off the madness that inevitably befalls dragons in old age, but Anankos didn't

Anankos eventually went mad because of course he did, and went on a massive rampage across the continent, only to be stopped by the combined efforts of his siblings and their respective human allies/partners. Valla gets flung into a seperate dimension sorta thing because of it, and Anankos gets super duper sealed away, first in the way that he can't leave Valla, and then in the way that he is sealed away within Valla

A Lot Of Time passes and Valla + Anankos get either forgotten or are erased from people's memories, but Anankos eventually manages to break free from his seal within Valla... but the one keeping him in Valla, no such luck. The people of Valla can leave, and his influence and power can extend beyond Valla, but he physically can't leave Valla

So, next actual change: Iago and Yukimura are both from Valla and servants of Anankos instead of Generic Evil Henchmen #1 and The Most Forgettable Playable Fates Character (which is saying something). Both are trying to corrupt the respective rulers of Hoshido and Nohr enough despair so that they become a suitable vessel for Anankos, who can use their distant familial connection to get his mind into their bodies and leave Valla that way

Speaking of respective monarchs: Sumeragi's first wive, Ikona is still alive, and the queen of Hoshido even in the present. Corrin also still ends up outside of Valla, but Mikoto gets yoinked back right after she gets Corrin outta there

The whole Corrin getting adopted and kidnapped stuff still happens, but both sides believe that they are Corrin's blood family due to some Magic Mind Manipulation™ from Iago and Yukimura. Corrin's not vital to Anankos' plans, but hey, can't hurt to have a potential backup vessel, right?

About halfway through Conquest, Corrin turns against Nohr together with Camilla and Elise who are already with them, they basically join forces with the rebellion in Cheve, and by proxy, Scarlet, and manage to break Garon out of his mind control a good ten chapters before the game is even over

But, there's still a perfectly good Hoshido to ruin, and so Yukimura gets to work on Ikona, who's also susceptible to that shit, especially since Iago had to flee and seek refuge in Hoshido

In Birthright meanwhile, Hoshido just doesn't get to be the Magical UwU Peace Kingdom, and their relationship to the people under them is similar to how it is between Nohr and say, the Ice Tribe. Speaking of which, Flame Tribe rebellion

In Birthright's ending, Ryoma abdicates the throne and lets Hinoka become queen because he thinks he doesn't make a good ruler

Endgame for both Birthright and Conquest sees the siblings of the side you didn't pick get pulled into the whole mind control/Being Influenced deal, and they form the last line of defence for Garon/Ikona. To get to the chamber where the respective monarch has sealed themselves, you only need to kill three of the four siblings, and it's your choice who it is! Chances are that the remaining siblings may not have the best view of Corrin afterwards, though.

Conquest has Garon join as playable in the endgame, Birthright has Ikona join in the endgame, Revalation has both of them join. Also, they have supports with each other there.
