Do I ever talk about Fire Emblem on here? No I don't. Am I going to right now anyway? Fuck yes. SPOILERS IF YOU CARE

Edelgard and Byleth are almost mirrors of each other in one very very specific way.

Edelgard was born with the Crest of Seiros and was then forcibly given the Crest of Flames by the Agarthans.

Byleth was technically forcibly given the Crest of Flames by the other side, being the Church. What's more, Jeralt had the Crest of Seiros before Byleth was ever conceived and thus could have passed it along with his genes.

If he had, Byleth and Edelgard would be so very very similar. Also, could Edelgard weild the Sword of the Creator if the Crest stone weren't inside of Byleth?? That'd be cool as fuck.

Imagine Byleth-has-Crest-of-Seiros!AU where they can just flip whose wielding which weapon whenever they need to. Just to confuse their enemies. True girlboss.
