Dropping the Bombshell: In Chapter 29, when Claude finally gets to talk with Sothis (who's possessing Byleth at the moment), he decides to bring up a certain topic in the Seiros' Scripture; whether it's true that the goddess considers those outside Fódlan are unclean. Sothis firmly debunks it, declaring to Claude that she would never reject those outside of Fódlan, Claude included. Atra explains to Claude about what happened that led to Jeralt's death, mentioning that her sister, Kronya was among those responsible. After recovering some of her memories Sothis warns Dimitri, Claude and Byleth that the Agarthans destroyed the world once before and she cannot restore it again in her current state if they do it again.

Acceptable Breaks from Canon: Due to the story being written before Three Hopes was released, several details and plot points aren't quite the same such as how the names given to some of the characters such as Linhardt's father is dated and how Count Gloucester is actually innocent in regards to the murder of Raphael's parents and Claude's uncle unlike in this story.

comment
Heroic RRoD: Divine Pulse is a powerful ability that allows Byleth to rewind time to an extent, but she's limited to using it 7-8 times before strenuous use of Divine Pulse starts to take a toll on her and triggers a magical burnout. She ends up getting knocked out for half a day when she uses Divine Pulse nine times and anything beyond ten is fatal to her and she nearly ends up dying from it if it weren't for the Ashen Wolves using the Chalice to heal her. Unfortunately for Byleth, Thales, Kronya and the Flame Emperor know of this weakness and exploit it to their advantage. Sothis giving Byleth the last bit of mortality she had left has greatly boosted the limits, though how much hasn't been seen yet.

comment
Underestimating Badassery: Throughout their school year together, Edelgard expresses bemusement at both Claude and Dimitri's personalities. She's confident she can sweep them aside once she starts the war, believing Dimitri to be too naïve and guileless to make a good king and Claude to be an overconfident schemer who's in way over his head. She also dismisses the idea that they would work together. After they inflict multiple crushing defeats on her without any significant losses, she re-evaluates her opinion on Claude, but persists in dismissing Dimitri as reliant on Claude and Byleth rather than a significant player in his own right - even after her own people start speaking favorably of him right before rioting against her.

Pay Evil unto Evil: Marian, an Agarthan child soldier, recounts how she poisoned and stabbed a man who took out his frustrations about losing the war on her by kicking her repeatedly. In general, the heroes do not refrain from violently and viciously punishing unsavory individuals, such as Count Varley.

Cruel and Unusual Death
 The Savior King, the Master Tactician and the Queen of Liberation (Fanfic) / int_1e584efa
comment
Cruel and Unusual Death: Byleth has witnessed her students, friends, and occasionally enemies dying in different brutal ways: Chapter 12 is the first time she uses Divine Pulse to save her students: Lysithea is impaled from behind by thieves hiding behind a hidden wall, the weapon going through her chest. Gilbert gets crushed underneath the Black Beast's claws. Felix is struck in the stomach by the Black Beast's tail and violently thrown into a wall. In the Cindered Shadows mini-arc, there are multiple instances where Byleth has to use Divine Pulses more than she usually needs to, especially when searching for the Chalice and fleeing from the Golem: Dimitri, Claude and Bernadetta are fatally skewered by a Golem. Ashe falls to the ground and is skewered by multiple human constructs at once. Claude and Balthus are eventually overwhelmed and violently cut down by knights. Dimitri is burned to ashes by the Golem's magical lance. Constance is fatally shot by an archer as she reaches the final doorway. Ladislava gets impaled by Areadbhar and is blown to pieces by its special ability in Chapter 56. Discussed when Marianne hits an enemy in the middle of a Rewarp with Silence; Dimitri notes that people who get Silenced mid-warp have suffered gruesome deaths such as being bisected or having their body turn inside-out. Death by Obsidian Dagger is described as being excruciatingly painful:

Adaptation Expansion: Claude's POV has times where he recounts his childhood in Alymra and the assassination attempts he had to endure due to his heritage. Byleth's status as the wielder of the Sword of the Creator is explored, with people such as the villagers from the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus worshiping her as the Goddess' new champion. She's not very comfortable with all the extra attention. Kronya is given a backstory. Her mother was arrested on suspicion of being a dissenter, causing her and her sister Atra to enlist in the Agarthan military. She took to killing like a duck to water, went Ax-Crazy, and now worships the ground Thales walks on. The Wandering Beast a.k.a. Maurice is given some backstory. His parents were killed in the chaos of pre-Adrestia Fódlan, and the Agarthans offered him power in exchange for becoming their weapon. The Death Knight's backstory, normally exclusive to canonical Crimson Flower, is recounted here. Jeritza also reveals that the Agarthans have been experimenting on him, depriving him of sleep and drugging him to force out his Death Knight persona. Nemesis is given a brief backstory. He was a boy born from the corpse of his mother, turned to killing to survive, and eventually came across Agartha attempting to kill the sleeping Sothis by chance. He was clever enough to outwit the traps and kill her in hopes of becoming immortal. Agarthan culture in general is greatly expanded upon; Thales runs Shambhala like a cult, brainwashing his people into believing that surface-dwellers are animals that only exist to be ruled. Shambhala itself is described as a city-state with multiple 'levels' that's run like a dictatorship; neighbors are encouraged to spy on each other and report 'traitors'. Anyone who is accused of a serious crime is taken away by the State Sec in the middle of the night and never seen again. Children are indoctrinated into the army and sent out to perform missions; Atra was only thirteen when she was sent to participate in the Tragedy of Duscur while Marian is an assassin whose job is to 'mind' Edelgard during the war and kill anyone who interferes with Agartha's work.

Oblivious to Love
 The Savior King, the Master Tactician and the Queen of Liberation (Fanfic) / int_2848e7d2
comment
Oblivious to Love: All three protagonists have this to varying degrees: Dimitri has a hard time recognizing romantic attraction from others, especially from males, both because of his limited social skills and the Tragedy. After the Tragedy, Dimitri was left with a burning desire for vengeance and survivor's guilt that made romance the least important thing on his mind, much less deserving for love because of his unhinged violent side which he tries to hide. As Claude comments, if Dimitri were to flirt with someone, it would be by accident and unintentional. He does recognize whenever he's attracted to someone, as Catherine was his first crush and he has been drawn to Byleth since he first met her. He's oblivious towards his own feelings for Claude though until the end of Chapter 22. Claude isn't that bad compared to Dimitri and Byleth, as he is more socially savvy than those the two, but his trust issues makes him selective at times as a result of some of the assassination attempts on his life which includes being poisoned by a girl he slept with before. He knows whenever someone's flirting with him and isn't afraid to flirt back, but genuine romantic feelings being reciprocated are new to him. Claude's the first among the three to recognize his feelings for Byleth and Dimitri, but it takes him a while to realize that Dimitri's odd behavior around him is because the prince is in love with him. Claude calls himself out on this in Chapter 35. Byleth is probably the worst out of the three because of her upbringing as a mercenary and her repressed emotions which have start to return to her since becoming a professor. As she's used to people being creeped out and disturbed by her unnaturally stoic demeanor, she's unable to comprehend whenever people are attracted to her, especially the females, something which Sothis enjoys teasing her about. She also has trouble recognizing her own feelings for others, particularly for Dimitri and Claude that she often has to ask herself why she feels differently for them. It takes all three of them to confess for her finally figure it out.

The Dreaded: The Wandering Beast is this to the entire Alliance and to those who have heard about the elusive beast. He is a gigantic and powerful Demonic Beast who has been alive for a millennium and brings dread and fear whenever he is brought up during the Conference. When he approaches Byleth and her students in Chapter 53, his appearance puts the students on edge.

Break the Haughty: Edelgard is hit hard by this in chapter 73. After seeing both the Immaculate One and the Immovable tearing through the Titanus and Demonic Beasts that were meant to be her trump cards, almost being killed twice - first by Glenn, then at the end of a Curb-Stomp Battle with Lysithea and Sylvain who both tell her how self-serving and immoral her decisions have been, learning about Claude's status as the Prince of Almyra (meaning her invasion of the Alliance would have likely ended in disaster and bloodshed even if everything had gone as planned), she enters the castle to find Thales and Myson calmly having a discussion and planning to pull their troops out. When she attempts to confront him and force the issue, Thales summons Angel Lamine, who hits her with Bolting and almost kills her.

Secret Relationship: Dimitri, Claude and Byleth decide to keep their newfound relationship a secret from the others for now after confessing to each other in Chapter 36. Justified as polyamory isn't that widely accepted within Fódlan and a prince and a duke having a relationship with a mercenary is one thing, but that mercenary also being their teacher is another story. Sylvian and Ingrid become privy to Dimitri and Claude being in a relationship in chapter 56 after Dimitri blurts out detail after detail. Shortly after, he remarks that Byleth might find it funny that the former thought that it was Lorenz and latter Yuri who was the third partner, leaving Sylvian gobsmacked as a result. Later on, Felix and Glenn are told about this by Sylvian before Chapter 60, the former thinking it was a joke at first.

Kick the Dog: Edelgard's decision to release Count Varley from house arrest and entrust soldiers to him makes no sense in-universe (she explicitly placed Ferdinand in charge of the army Varley was part of only for Varley to take control of it out from under him, so what purpose did releasing and sending Varley serve?), but is continuously used by the heroes an example of how far she's fallen and how ill-suited she is to serving as emperor. In Chapter 63, Lord Hevring orders his men to attack one of his own villagers (a small girl) for having the audacity to ask where her three missing brothers are and why the money their family was promised in exchange for them volunteering to be test subjects is. In Chapter 73, Thales turns the resurrected corpses of Edelgard's siblings into White Beasts to sic on the advancing heroes.

Claude is actually left in hysteric laughter after witnessing said actions from his ancestor.

 The Savior King, the Master Tactician and the Queen of Liberation (Fanfic) / int_39a41690
comment
Adaptational Sympathy: The game's version of those who slither in the dark, aka the Agarthans, are an entire faction of Hate Sinks who are depicted as Always Chaotic Evil and directly responsible for several crimes against humanity and wartime atrocities, including engineering the massacre at Zanado, the Tragedy of Duscur and at least two cases of human experimentation on children to spread war and division in the land of Fódlan as well as the unscrupulous medical experiments on the children of Houses Hraesvelg and Ordelia, which led to Edelgard and Lysithea's condition and pairs of Crests, and their hatred for the Children of the Goddess is depicted as pure spiteful bigotry. In this story, while all of those things are still true, with some additional attrocities thrown in for good measure, the majority of Agarthans are treated more sympathetically, shown as being held tightly under the claws of their tyrannical rulers, heavily indoctrinated with anti-surface world propaganda and at constant risk of being disappeared by the State Sec if they even express the slightest hint of treachery or sympathy for the surface world. All in all, the average member of that group is treated as a sympathetic, tragic Anti-Villain, although Thales and his cronies are still Hate Sinks. Inverted with the Flame Emperor and Hubert. Due to the main characters being made aware of the existence of those who slither in the dark and the full extent of Edelgard's collaboration with them much earlier than before, the main cast are much less sympathetic towards her and her goals than they are in the game. They're much quicker to call her out on her flaws and how working with such horrible people has caused her to degrade into a Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist. Hubert gets hit by this even harder. In game, his Undying Loyalty to and genuine affection for Edelgard is depicted as a redeeming quality, and he is given a Pet the Dog moment in Verdant Wind and Silver Snow by leaving behind a letter informing Claude or Seteth of the existence of those who slither in the dark to ensure their destruction in spite of his and Edelgard's defeat. This story is much less impressed with him, portraying his loyalty to Edelgard as Blind Loyalty at best and outright hypocrisy at worst given he spits on those who still believe in the Goddess as sheeple. He is also portrayed as responsible for getting several Agarthans killed in Uriah Gambits designed to kill as many of them as possible, which leads to him being killed by an Agarthan child assassin whose mother he had killed in the battle of Brigid during the siege of Enbarr.

Curb-Stomp Battle

comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: The entire war overall is one long Humiliation Conga for Edelgard and Adrestia. The war only lasts for a few months, the heroic forces led by Byleth, Dimitri, and Claude don't suffer a single meaningful loss, and the only ground she's able to gain in western Faerghus is swiftly undone when Almyra intervenes on the heroes' side. The entirety of the Battle of Enbarr. Between the sheer numerical superiority of the combined Alliance-Kingdom-Church forces, having obtained information on Enbarr's defenses from captured Agarthans, and the participation of both The Immaculate One and the Immovable, the Imperial army quickly crumbles. During the Battle of Enbarr, there's Edelgard vs. Sylvain and Lysithea. The two avoid or block her every attack, refute her attempts at garnering their sympathy, and verbally dress her down. In the end she's grievously injured by Lysithea and is almost finished off by Sylvain before Hubert teleports her to safety.

This is later downplayed as this does not stop him from rallying several soldiers and citizens to pick a fight with Claude over his heritage when he reveals that he is the Prince of Almyra due to Count Gloucester's pettiness and years' long feelings of entitlement towards Claude's mother, Tiana, for refusing to marry him years ago.

Shut Up, Hannibal!: After Hubert disparages Bernadetta and Marianne for siding with the goddess and calls them cowards, Marianne tells him how far up his ass he can shove his rhetoric. When Count Varley rants about how it's his right to keep his commoners downtrodden, Rodrigue coldly tells him that any man who cannot respect his inferiors doesn't deserve power over them. Sylvain and Lysithea both do this to Edelgard during the Battle of Enbarr, refuting her propensity for blaming the Church and the existence of Crests for things like the actions of Miklan and the Crest experiments conducted on Edelgard and Lysithea, all the while completely dominating the fight.

Becoming the Mask: In Fódlan's distant past, the Agarthans sent a tactician named Pan to infiltrate Loog's rebellion and use him to wipe out Fódlan. However, he quickly fell in love with the freedom and kindness he experienced on the surface, legitimately took up the role he was meant to play as a double agent, and lived out the rest of his days in the nascent Kingdom.

Death by Adaptation: Downplayed by characters who die in the canonical Part II such as Acheron and Ladislava. Due to the story omitting the five-year timeskip and having the war phase be immediately after the school phase, they die five years earlier than in canon, but under much the same circumstances. Cornelia dies three-quarters of the way through canon Azure Moon and survives Verdant Wind outright, but is implicitly executed offscreen at the beginning of the war phase here.

Unwanted Revival: None of the resurrected Ten Elites are happy about their Forced into Evil situation. Michael Blaiddyd not only seems to actively pity Edelgard for her ignorance but shows nothing but dismay when fighting against Dimitri. Renata Fraldarius is both absolutely ashamed and horrified about her actions while serving Nemesis and gives Edelgard an absolutely brutal "The Reason You Suck" Speech. Later Myson outright states that she openly threatened to kill him. Ren von Riegan has absolutely no respect in any way for Thales to the point he openly defies the other man in the most insulting manner possible. Chapter 73 hints that his irreverence towards the Agarthans is actually quite common. Lamine tries to interpret Thales's order From a Certain Point of View in order to Mercy Kill Edelgard and save the younger woman from the Agarthan's machinations and later shows genuine regret when she fails to do so with a muttered: "Damn. Not enough power. Sorry, kid. Failed".

Et Tu, Brute?: After the true identity of the Flame Emperor is revealed, Byleth, Claude, Rhea, Dorothea and especially Dimitri don't take Edelgard's betrayal very well. After Fort Merceus falls, the Imperial soldiers who surrendered are horrified that Edelgard dropped the javelins of light on Merceus and would have killed them all just to keep it out of Kingdom/Alliance hands. A later interlude shows the Adrestian civilians don't take the knowledge much better. Hubert feels this way towards Bernadetta as she chooses to side with the Church instead of her homeland. Edelgard is shocked and dumbfounded by Petra's "betrayal", and wonders if Caspar or Ferdinand will turn on them next.

Adaptational Superpower Change: Yuri's Crest Power in canon is to stop counterattacks. Here, he can turn invisible at will. Marianne's Crest Power in canon is to increase damage when using a weapon. Here, she can temporarily transform into a Demonic Beast. Edelgard's Aymr is given a brave effect like Thunderbrand. Bernadetta’s Major Crest of Indech, rather than enabling her at chance to launch an additional strike in quick succession, multiplies her attack threefold; for example, one arrow fired projects two additional arrows launching alongside it (think similar to Shadow Clones and/or Tsubame Gaeshi). Downplayed in contrast to other examples but some characters had what crest type they had changed. For example, Claude, Dimitri, Bernadetta and Marianne all originally had Minor crests in the original game, but in this story, they have the Major crests.

The Poorly Chosen One: The Agarthan Marian views Edelgard as a terrible choice for a champion against the dragons, and thinks Dimitri would have been a much better fit for the role. In chapter 73 Thales himself admits that Claude would have been a much better champion for the Agarthans to have than Edelgard, openly stating: "I choose poorly; I should have waited until he stepped into Fodlan and whisked him away, made him our chosen dragon slayer. He has more guile in one finger than she possessed in her entire body".

Artistic License – History
 The Savior King, the Master Tactician and the Queen of Liberation (Fanfic) / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: During the parlay before the gates of Enbarr, Hapi criticizes Edelgard for starting a war during the Spring and thus taking farmers away from their fields, predicting a famine in Adrestia's future. In reality, Spring and Summer were preferred months in which to conduct military campaigns in medieval times, as the weather was warmer and it was thus much easier to protect soldiers from the cold. This would be doubly important considering Edelgard's soldiers would be used to the warmer conditions of Adrestia and would suffer in the northern regions in colder months. Additionally, farming is a lot more complex than "plant in Spring, harvest in Autumn", but "Artistic License - Farming" isn't a trope.

Divided We Fall: After the Empire's declaration of war, Byleth has to personally intervene to stop the other lords from tearing each other apart arguing over how to respond. As the heroes prepare to invade Shambhala, Count Gloucester shows up looking to pick a fight with Claude for being a "half blood mutt born of sin and deception". All out of a petty entitlement over Claude's mother, Tiana, for not choosing to marry him.

Fantastic Racism
 The Savior King, the Master Tactician and the Queen of Liberation (Fanfic) / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: All over the place. There's ongoing animosity and distrust between the Alliance and Almyra, punctuated by on and off conflict that's gone on for a few centuries; Tiana von Riegan had to abandon Fódlan entirely to marry the love of her life, and even then their child - despite being the prince - is still subjected to vicious Half-Breed Discrimination. There's the hatred and contempt that the Duscur survivors have to suffer from Faerghus thanks to being The Scapegoat for the Tragedy, which happened after a campaign of near genocide was committed against them. Agartha's stance on the 'surface people'; they don't even regard them as human beings, and commit all sorts of evils against them without remorse. The Children of the Goddess get this from two different directions. Agartha despises them due to Sothis destroying their original kingdom (because they'd caused the Cataclysm through their pointless war, mind you) while Edelgard and Hubert regard them with distain and contempt, Edelgard especially calling Rhea a 'beast' and blaming her for human abuses of the Crest system along with the deaths of her siblings.

Dimitri has a hard time recognizing romantic attraction from others, especially from males, both because of his limited social skills and the Tragedy. After the Tragedy, Dimitri was left with a burning desire for vengeance and survivor's guilt that made romance the least important thing on his mind, much less deserving for love because of his unhinged violent side which he tries to hide. As Claude comments, if Dimitri were to flirt with someone, it would be by accident and unintentional. He does recognize whenever he's attracted to someone, as Catherine was his first crush and he has been drawn to Byleth since he first met her. He's oblivious towards his own feelings for Claude though until the end of Chapter 22.

Esoteric Happy Ending: The In-Universe author's notes for Chapter 73 describe the canonical Crimson Flower ending as this; Thales has had over five years to have his people infiltrate every level of Edelgard's government, and can implode her "utopia" in a heartbeat. And additionally, with Rhea dead and Sothis' power leaving Byleth, there wouldn't be any counter to the javelins of light, meaning that Thales' Taking You with Me would actually work.

Myson is described as the type of man who doesn't approve of senseless torture or violence if it doesn't serve a practical purpose.

Sylvain quickly assumes that Dimitri must have found himself someone and went all the way last night, to which Dimitri insists that he just slept well. Though given that Claude invited him to a room he found deep in the monastery that night and Dimitri clearly trying to avoid the subject, something must have happened. A side story confirms they had their First Time the previous night.

Villainous Friendship: For all their absolutely disgusting Fantastic Racism and utterly sociopathic attitude towards everyone who is not Agarthan, Chapter 73 shows that the trio of Thales, Myson and Odesse truly do consider each other close friends and allies, Thales openly admiring Myson's intelligence and resourcefulness and treating Odesse like an Honest Advisor with genuine grievances which he respectfully answers. Myson and Odesse in turn both advise and talk to Thales with open honesty and are perfectly at ease in voicing their opinions, even if it's a dissenting one.

Godzilla Threshold: As the opening stages of the war turn into several crushing defeats for Adrestia, Edelgard notes she is getting desperate enough to let Count Varley out of prison to help turn the tide even though "blood, slaughter and ruin would follow him should he be put at the head of an army against foes who were encroaching on what he considered 'his land'". By Chapter 68, she has actually crossed that line and sent him to subdue the rioters, with predictably bloody results.

Unwitting Pawn: Despite fancying themself The Starscream, by chapter 73 it becomes plain that in reality, Edelgard was nothing but a tool that Thales used to destabilize Fódlan and kill as many people as possible to achieve his plan to take the surface for Shambhala. When she attempts to confront him, he merely has Lamine blast her into submission and takes her prisoner again as they retreat, leaving Adrestia to the United Army.

Bernadetta’s Major Crest of Indech, rather than enabling her at chance to launch an additional strike in quick succession, multiplies her attack threefold; for example, one arrow fired projects two additional arrows launching alongside it (think similar to Shadow Clones and/or Tsubame Gaeshi).

Because You Were Nice to Me: Dimitri defending both Cyril and Claude when the two were harassed by a foot soldier for their Almyran heritage which he then promises to keep secret is why Claude comes to completely trust Dimitri. A side story reveals that the reason Jeralt and his mercenaries frequent Remire village is because the villagers were the first people to not treat Byleth like a monster. They also helped nurse her back to health when she was ill from an injury. Bernadetta becomes attached to Byleth because of the heartfelt talk she had with the professor, cumulating in Byleth declaring she will bear new scars if it means protecting her. This results in Bernadetta transferring to the Golden Deer so she can learn more from Byleth. The Ashen Wolves gain new respect for Byleth when she volunteers to help them defend Abyss from intruders, even though the Wolves had just attacked her under the mistaken assumption that she and her students were enemies. They prove their gratitude by using the Chalice of Beginnings to save her life.

Spared by the Adaptation: A few examples. Glenn is alive, albeit scarred and amnesiac, having been rescued by Atra during the Tragedy of Duscur. Sothis makes it through the battle in the Sealed Forest with her individuality intact. Due to the various nails preventing Dimitri from going completely feral and stopping the Battle at Gronder, Rodrigue never has to sacrifice himself to save his prince and lives to reach Enbarr. Because Cornelia was found guilty for her part in the Tragedy of Duscur and avoiding the nail of Dimitri getting framed for murder, Rufus Blaiddyd was spared and is last seen holding the line of defense against the Empire with house Gautier. Due to the battle where he canonically dies being Adapted Out, Randolph makes it all the way to the end of the war. In canon, all of Edelgard's siblings are deceased. Here, one of her younger sisters (here named Justine) survived the Agarthan experiments, but was reduced to a helpless mute cripple.

Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Dimitri is disturbed to hear Marian, a thirteen-year-old Agarthan soldier, casually recount how she murdered a man for kicking her in frustration. She also expresses amusement at the thought of what will happen to Edelgard once Thales decides she's served her purpose, laughing while telling Dimitri how powerless she is to escape their control - which is especially disturbing when you remember the experiments the Agarthans preformed on her killed her siblings and drastically shortened her life.

From Bad to Worse
 The Savior King, the Master Tactician and the Queen of Liberation (Fanfic) / int_7870735b
comment
Amazingly, it goes From Bad to Worse for her from there. The Battle of Enbarr starts with The Immaculate One and The Immovable wreaking havoc on what little support Thales bothered to give her, while the Crusaders' numerical superiority allows them to storm over her loyalists while being distracted protecting the civilians she had trapped inside to serve as human shields. In short order, Edelgard is hit by Ruined Sky and barely escapes being killed by Glenn by Hubert's quick thinking, has said civilians hail her with bricks while she's fighting Kingdom soldiers, and upon being confronted with Sylvain finally learns that Claude/Khalid is the Prince of Almyra - meaning her attempt to conquer the Alliance was likely doomed to failure no matter what. This causes her to go into a full-blown Villainous Breakdown, which both Sylvain and an incoming Lysithea refute while dominating their 'fight' with her, pummeling her to the point that she has to be saved by Hubert again to survive.

I Reject Your Reality: Edelgard claims to be more open minded than any aristocrat before her, but in her interludes this quirk rapidly spirals out into a refusal to acknowledge that Byleth, Claude and Dimitri are winning the war, or that they have justifiable grievances against her that aren't rooted in 'propping up Fódlan's current circumstances'. Even when Renata Fraldarius spells out her lack of clarity and self-serving narrative, she refuses to consider taking Blaiddyd's advice to flee, refusing to abandon her sense of righteousness or her belief that she's Fódlan's savior.

Black-and-White Morality: In contrast to the original game's Gray-and-Gray Morality, the characters aligned with Byleth's side are majorly good, while Edelgard received a big dose of Adaptational Villainy along with Hubert, and is given No Sympathy by the majority of the heroes despite a good portion of them acknowledging why Edelgard turned out the way she did. Additionally, the Agarthans sans a few who managed to turn tail such as Atra and Marian are depicted in the "Black" spectrum of the Black-and-White Morality.

Freak Out: In chapter 29, Claude collapses emotionally and breaks down in Sothis's arms when she reveals that the scriptures that claim mixed-race children like him an affront to her are lies, and she does not reject him. Later on, Dimitri has two notable breakdowns. First is his reaction to Edelgard being revealed as the Flame Emperor, while the second is triggered by Atra telling him the truth about the Tragedy of Duscur and her involvement in it. He has a manic fit and slashes her cheek with a dagger before fleeing to the cathedral, where Sothis comforts him. Atra has a panic attack when Fort Merceus is blasted into oblivion by the Javelins of Light, publicly slipping into the Agarthan language while babbling about how Thales said he'd destroyed them all and they were too dangerous to use..

Breather Episode: Chapter 16 features the cast enjoying a friendly school tournament which is set after the Flayn kidnapping incident and before the start of the Cindered Shadows mini-arc. Chapter 27 acts as an epilogue to the intense Cindered Shadows mini-arc. Chapter 30 has Byleth and the Golden Deer easily taking down Lord Acheron's 'army' after Sothis revealing some startling info to Claude and before the Remire village incident. Chapter 33 is set after the traumatic Remire village incident and has the characters preparing for the Heron Cup competition. Chapter 42 focuses on Byleth and the Golden Deer helping Hilda in defending Goneril Castle after the events of Byleth coping with Jeralt's death, going after Kronya in the Sealed Forest and Marianne unwittingly revealing her Crest of the Beast and before the Flame Emperor attacks the Blue Lions and Golden Deer in the Holy Tomb during an important ceremony. Chapter 70 focuses on Dimitri trying to convince an Agarthan Child Soldier to turn on Thales by plainly talking to her. This happens after the army puts a stop to Maximus Varley's massacre.

Count Gloucester is an odd meta-subversion. In canon, he only received a dish of Humble Pie at the end of Verdant Wind. In here, not only does his second attempt to get merchants to his land by monopolizing the route got found out with the Knights and Claude's grandfather holding it on his head, he is also on the receiving end of a Humiliation Conga when he decided to pick a fight and confront Claude over his heritage and rally several soldiers to his side and tried to undermine Claude out of entitled pettiness over not getting to marry Tiana Von Riegan years ago, only for it to backfire horribly on him when Bernadetta starts Shaming the Mob and the rest of the now former students coming to Claude's defense, concluding with Byleth completely destroying his bigoted claims, leaving him utterly defeated. However, this is all based on characterization extrapolated from apparent Offscreen Villainy in Three Houses, and Warriors: Three Hopes would portray him as an honorable man and the victim of Unreliable Exposition.

Rouge Angles of Satin: The word "loose" is mistakenly used in place of "lose" frequently throughout the fic. "Lose" is used properly on occasion, but there's no apparent rhyme or reason as to when and why.

Claude absolutely loses his shit in Chapter 71 when Rhea admits that Fódlan's isolationism (and consequently the vicious racism all foreigners face on the continent) is something she considered Necessarily Evil in order to stop the influence of Agartha, furiously ranting about how utterly horrible his childhood became as a result.

Show, Don't Tell: Dimitri and Byleth insist via narration that Dimitri still cared for Edelgard deeply and was wounded by her betrayal, when the reality is he thinks about her very rarely, even before she shows her true colors. The author tries to portray the war as gruesome, horrific, and soul-crushing, even going as far as to have Byleth give a particularly lurid speech about how exhausted it's made her, but this clashes badly with the fact that Casual Danger Dialogue and World of Snark are in full effect. While in the heat of the moment, combat scenes are focused more on portraying how badass the characters are than it does on showing any psychological harm they might be suffering. Dimitri quickly develops such a reputation for mercy that Imperial soldiers surrendering to him is a frequent sight once the war begins, yet the heroes only once offer surrender to enemy soldiers on their own initiative, and prefer lethal force despite vastly overpowering them.

comment
Humiliation Conga: Due to the various divergences caused by Claude and Dimitri's closer relationship and Atra's appearance, the entire unification war is this for Edelgard. First she loses the Battle for Garreg Mach despite having heavy advantages, when The Cavalry arrives. Secondly, thanks to Atra and Glenn, Rodrigue is forewarned about Cornelia's presence in Faerghus's court and manages to capture her beforehand; the students also warn their Lord parents about upcoming conflict, so both kingdoms are better prepared for war than she planned. Then their attempt to assassinate Dimitri and Rodrigue to tear apart the alliance between Faerghus and the Leicester Alliance fails due to Acheron botching it, Byleth's divine pulse abilities, and Claude keeping the army from panicking and strategizing a victory against bad odds. As the allied army begins to march into Adrestia proper, Edelgard attempts to trap them in Fort Merceus and uses the Javelins of Light in an attempt to wipe out the army's leaders - however, Byleth sees the attack coming and evacuates the fort in time, meaning she only succeeded in killing her own troops and destroying her most defensible fortress. As Dimitri, Claude and Byleth continue to win victory after victory, information about the javelins and demonic beasts starts spreading through the common people via Imperial soldiers who Dimitri spared. This leads to a protest in Enbarr; when Edelgard tries to lie her way out, they call her out on it and a riot is triggered when one of her guards stabs a young boy who'd thrown a brick at her. This triggers further unrest, riots and desertion from their army (with those who stay in the guard often apathetic to stopping it), making her desperate enough to let Maximus Varley out of house arrest and order him to quell the riots. As soon as he's out of reach of any of her loyal men, Maximus promptly usurps Ferdinand's authority and leads a bloody suppression in Hrym that results in massive civilian casualties, Ferdinand's defection, and turns all but her most fanatical loyalists against her. Amazingly, it goes From Bad to Worse for her from there. The Battle of Enbarr starts with The Immaculate One and The Immovable wreaking havoc on what little support Thales bothered to give her, while the Crusaders' numerical superiority allows them to storm over her loyalists while being distracted protecting the civilians she had trapped inside to serve as human shields. In short order, Edelgard is hit by Ruined Sky and barely escapes being killed by Glenn by Hubert's quick thinking, has said civilians hail her with bricks while she's fighting Kingdom soldiers, and upon being confronted with Sylvain finally learns that Claude/Khalid is the Prince of Almyra - meaning her attempt to conquer the Alliance was likely doomed to failure no matter what. This causes her to go into a full-blown Villainous Breakdown, which both Sylvain and an incoming Lysithea refute while dominating their 'fight' with her, pummeling her to the point that she has to be saved by Hubert again to survive. Finally, she learns that Evil Is Not a Toy the hard way - returning to the castle, Edelgard finds Thales casually discussing Agartha's retreat with Myson. Her outrage bounces right off the Chancellor, who mocks her for her failures, chides her for believing she could be The Starscream to him, and orders Lamine to subdue her. Barely surviving Lamine's attempted Mercy Kill, Edelgard is promptly reduced to a prisoner of Agartha; bound in chains including a muzzle that prevents her from speaking, she's repeatedly assaulted by various soldiers until she's brought back to Shambhala proper. Her attempt to be a Defiant Captive nets her a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from Odesse, and she wakes from that Strapped to an Operating Table where a young boy informs her of her final fate - enslaved to Myson's will by the same Geas the Elites are under and 'transfigured' into a weapon of war for Agartha.

Protagonist-Centered Morality: The narrative harshly condemns Edelgard's war with the rest of Fódlan as nothing more than a base, imperialistic land-grab. The heroes' own invasion and conquest of Adrestia doesn't receive the same condemnation, even as sympathetic characters such as Claude plan and discuss which of their non-Adrestian allies are going to govern the region after deposing Edelgard.

It works as Dagdar and Tina, two of the soldiers Bernadetta called out at first, are all choked up and lost for words, and many of the soldiers that initially rallied and supported Count Gloucester when he started to accuse Claude soon kneel and apologize to Claude in shame.

Foreshadowing: The Agarthan Transhuman project serves as foreshadowing for the final boss of Verdant Wind, the resurrected Nemesis. In Chapter 11, after Claude brings up Sylvain's recent "night activities" with a girl he snuck into his room, one of the things Dimitri is worried about is what Sylvain intends to do if he ends up impregnating a girl he's fooling around with. Come Chapter 83, Dimitri or Claude (or both) end up impregnating Byleth just as they're near the climax of the war. During their adventures in Abyss, the heroes meet a mysterious woman named Atra. When asked to speculate about her origins, Yuri's best guess is that she's from an obscure family on the Alliance border who was expelled from the Eastern Church for high heresy. Shambhala is on the Alliance border and is certainly very obscure, and Agartha's depiction as a militarized cult makes heresy an apt description for her crime against them. When the students are comforting Byleth following Jeralt's death, Dorothea and Lindhardt are the only two Black Eagles (sans the already transferred Bernadetta then) mentioned to be present. They're also the only two Black Eagles to initially stand against Edelgard once she reveals herself as the Flame Emperor and her plans to declare war on the Church to her fellow classmates.

comment
Fix Fic: The author has admitted to frustration over the original game not criticizing Edelgard's ideals and intentions to her satisfication, and also for it portraying her as partnering with the Agarthans and succesfully besting them in Crimson Flower, and posthumously having a hand in their downfall in Silver Snow and Verdant Wind. Edelgard is thus portrayed as considerably more openly villainous and incompetent, and the Agarthans are portrayed as fully in control of their partnership.

Secret-Keeper: Claude racks up a few as the story progresses: Dimitri learns of Claude's Almyran heritage in Chapter 1. Dimitri also reveals to Claude his guilt about the Tragedy of Duscur to reassure Claude that his secret is safe. Cyril also learns of Claude's secret as he was there when the foot soldier was harassing the two of them. Dedue also learns of Claude's mixed ancestry after overhearing the latter speak in his native tongue to the war master in Chapter 14. He promises Claude to keep quiet about it out of gratitude for Claude helping them out in quelling the would-be rebellion in Duscur. After a talk with Sothis, Claude finally tells Byleth of his Almyran heritage and his true name, entrusting her with both of his secrets by the end of Chapter 30. Sothis earns a couple as the story goes on: After raising suspicion about her 'magic' and nearly dying from overusing Divine Pulse during the Cindered Shadows mini-arc, Byleth reveals her Divine Pulse abilities and Sothis' existence to her students (the three house leaders, Linhardt, Ashe, Hilda, Bernadetta, Felix, Dedue, Lysithea and Marianne). Sothis has them keep this a secret to ensure their safety and to not risk branding Byleth as a heretic in the face of the church. Because Byleth was asleep at the time when Atra deliver her the news about Kronya's whereabouts, Sothis ended up possessing Byleth's body at the time, revealing herself to Atra and Yuri. The Golden Deer, Dimitri, Byleth, Sylvain, Ashe, Yuri and Atra end up witnessing Marianne's transformation into a Demonic Beast and learn from her that she bears the Crest of the Beast.

Finally, she learns that Evil Is Not a Toy the hard way - returning to the castle, Edelgard finds Thales casually discussing Agartha's retreat with Myson. Her outrage bounces right off the Chancellor, who mocks her for her failures, chides her for believing she could be The Starscream to him, and orders Lamine to subdue her. Barely surviving Lamine's attempted Mercy Kill, Edelgard is promptly reduced to a prisoner of Agartha; bound in chains including a muzzle that prevents her from speaking, she's repeatedly assaulted by various soldiers until she's brought back to Shambhala proper. Her attempt to be a Defiant Captive nets her a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from Odesse, and she wakes from that Strapped to an Operating Table where a young boy informs her of her final fate - enslaved to Myson's will by the same Geas the Elites are under and 'transfigured' into a weapon of war for Agartha.

Hollywood Tactics: The tactical know-how displayed in this fanfic, even by characters touted for their tactical brilliance, such as Claude, is underdeveloped, to say the least. The most common battlefield strategy used by the heroes appears to be to have everyone break into small groups and do their best. Battle is nearly always conducted in a pell-mell of individual smaller battles, and seldom in anything resembling a formation. Combined with the above, it's rare that other characters aren't wounded or disarmed through their equipment being damaged by the time we catch up with them. Characters often don't explain their plans to each other, as if to invoke the Unspoken Plan Guarantee. Talking Is a Free Action is regularly abused, particularly by Claude. Vulnerable or high-value targets, such as healers, or mages go entirely without the protection of sturdier allies on ocassion. Frontline General is in full effect.

Dramatic Irony: After Byleth reveals her Divine Pulse abilities and Sothis revealing her presence to the students, they convince the students to keep it a secret so they can be safe from danger. Unbeknownst to them, Edelgard is also the Flame Emperor and now knows of Byleth's Divine Pulse abilities and her status as Sothis' host. One of the reasons for not revealing Sothis' existence in Byleth to the Church or Rhea is due to the risk of making Byleth come across as a madwoman and a heretic for impersonating the goddess. Not only does Rhea know that the Sothis residing within Byleth is the real goddess, but she would be ecstatic to finally be able to speak to her mother once again. In Chapter 43, Byleth expresses her total confidence that Edelgard is not involved in the conspiracy against the Church. She is so very, very wrong. In Chapter 51, Judith puts the thought forward that those who slither in the dark might have taken advantage of the Insurrection of the Seven to manipulate the emotionally vulnerable Edelgard after the deaths of all of her siblings, but is quickly dismissed by the other lords. Not only is her theory right on the money, those who slither in the dark actually caused the Insurrection and have had more power in the Empire than anyone realized. Many characters curse Edelgard for being callous enough to murder her own stepbrother for her own ambitions. While her faults are undoubtedly many, she cannot remember her friendship with Dimitri due to Trauma-Induced Amnesia, so as far as she knows she's simply murdering some random stranger. Edelgard comes to the conclusion that Claude is a Machiavellian chessmaster who has manipulated both Dimitri and Byleth to serve his own plans to rule Fódlan and considers them disposable, assumes that everything he did throughout the year is calculated to that end, and starts treating him as their Arch-Enemy. Needless to say, Claude's POV sections make it clear that he actually discarded his initial plans for Fódlan after falling in love with the pair, he's opposing them out of a desire to protect the innocents being swept up in the war, and he has no idea how much they loathe him personally.

Worth It: Dimitri got two weeks of weeding duty for the aforementioned punching out of the racist soldier. It helped that Seteth was sympathetic towards Dimitri's motivation.

Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Lysithea and Sylvain's opinion on Edelgard, remarking that they too have suffered because of both Crests and the Agarthans but have not resorted to the measures she has, not the least of which being siding with the Agarthans themselves.

Pyrrhic Victory: In Chapter 50 the combined forces of the Church/Kingdom/Alliance manage to win the Battle for Garreg Mach against the Empire. Unfortunately, Garreg Mach is massively damaged, a number of soldiers both allies and enemies are either dead or wounded, a few of the characters are traumatized and exhausted from the battle, and this small victory isn't enough to stop the impeding war, so none of the characters feel like celebrating.

comment
Claude isn't that bad compared to Dimitri and Byleth, as he is more socially savvy than those the two, but his trust issues makes him selective at times as a result of some of the assassination attempts on his life which includes being poisoned by a girl he slept with before. He knows whenever someone's flirting with him and isn't afraid to flirt back, but genuine romantic feelings being reciprocated are new to him. Claude's the first among the three to recognize his feelings for Byleth and Dimitri, but it takes him a while to realize that Dimitri's odd behavior around him is because the prince is in love with him. Claude calls himself out on this in Chapter 35.

Demoted to Extra: Canon Cornelia is a very important player in Faerghus' storyline in Part II. In this story, she is only mentioned once off-handedly and isn't even named, and it's mentioned she was caught for her role in Duscur and presumably executed. Canon Randolph is a semi-important enemy general who has a brief but critical role in Dimitri's character arc. This Randolph isn't even named in-story until an off-hand mention in Chapter 73 and the battle where he's fought for the second time is Adapted Out.

It's All About Me: There's a subtle but tangible undercurrent to Edelgard's interludes; for all that she talks about improving her people's lives, she only thinks about that in terms of her ideals and her beliefs, by using her experiences and nobody else's. This actually plays heavily into her Villainous BSoD, as she's forced to confront the fact that she always thinks about how all of the bad things that happen around her are obstacles in her path first and tragedies inflicted on the innocent second.

Berserk Button: The Flame Emperor sets Byleth off by accusing her of being a slave to Sothis. Claude absolutely loses his shit in Chapter 71 when Rhea admits that Fódlan's isolationism (and consequently the vicious racism all foreigners face on the continent) is something she considered Necessarily Evil in order to stop the influence of Agartha, furiously ranting about how utterly horrible his childhood became as a result. Linhardt is infuriated by Edelgard's insistence on painting the Children of the Goddess as the villains while revering the crests and relics as creations of mankind, as Linhardt and a good portion of the Alliance-Kingdom army had just learned the awful truth that they were forged from Children of the Goddess corpses after Sothis was murdered in her sleep. When Lysithea declares that Sothis was justified in destroying Agartha, Lord Arundel is so enraged that he ends parley on the spot and tries to force Riegan to kill them all, outing himself as Thales in the process.

Byleth is probably the worst out of the three because of her upbringing as a mercenary and her repressed emotions which have start to return to her since becoming a professor. As she's used to people being creeped out and disturbed by her unnaturally stoic demeanor, she's unable to comprehend whenever people are attracted to her, especially the females, something which Sothis enjoys teasing her about. She also has trouble recognizing her own feelings for others, particularly for Dimitri and Claude that she often has to ask herself why she feels differently for them. It takes all three of them to confess for her finally figure it out.

Dies Differently in Adaptation: Instead of being taken out by a cheap shot from Kronya, Jeralt ends up taking an attack from both Thales and Kronya to protect Byleth in Chapter 38. Instead of having her heart ripped out by Solon as a sacrifice for a dark magic ritual, Kronya is viciously stabbed to death by Byleth. Solon gets stabbed through the chest from behind courtesy of Yuri. Rather than being confronted in Firdihad or fleeing the country after Enbarr falls, Cornelia is captured off-screen by Rodrigue for her involvement in the Tragedy of Duscur thanks to Atra/Glenn's information and is implicitly executed.

Nice Guy: Glenn, Indech and Holst all exemplify this. Glenn considers Atra one of his closest friends and does not hold her in any way responsible for the actions of her people during the Tragedy of Duscur despite her presence there, which comes as no surprise considering she saved him from his canon fate in said tragedy. He also shows himself to be a friendly, charming and pleasant young man who is both a Cool Big Bro with Big Brother Instinct towards both Felix and Dimitri, a gentle and loving fiancé towards Ingrid and overall one of the best examples in the series of a genuine Knight in Shining Armor the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus has under their command. Indech is a friendly, good-natured and gentle borderline All-Loving Hero who shows nothing but the greatest respect and admiration towards Atra, Byleth, Dimitri, Marianne, Bernadetta and the rest of the heroes and wastes no time in both assuring that he does NOT blame the heroes for using the Hero Relics despite their horrific history and genuinely utters several extremely touching and heartfelt You Are Better Than You Think You Are speeches towards our heroes. Overall, he comes off as both a perfect combination of Cool Uncle and secondary Big Good towards our heroes, and a much needed one. And considering his own extremely tragic and horrifying past with both Agartha and Laputa the fact that he's easily one of the most gentle and friendliest characters in the story speaks volumes about him as a person. Holst is not only just as much a Cool Big Bro as the series implies, but in his letter to Claude after the Almyrans pull their Big Damn Heroes moment to save not only Holst's forces but also the Kingdom's from Count Bergliez's own forces he not only shows an incredible amount of admiration for Claude but it's made very, very clear that he considers the younger boy to be incredibly brave due to Claude's position as a half-Almyran in Fódlan considering the Fantastic Racism for his people that perpetuates the land and that the respect he had for Claude just increased ten-fold once it became clear what he was trying to do. Said attitude actually causes Claude to openly shed Tears of Joy, which become even more touching when Hilda unhesitatingly echoes her brother's admiration, adoration and respect for Claude.

There's ongoing animosity and distrust between the Alliance and Almyra, punctuated by on and off conflict that's gone on for a few centuries; Tiana von Riegan had to abandon Fódlan entirely to marry the love of her life, and even then their child - despite being the prince - is still subjected to vicious Half-Breed Discrimination.

Big Bad Wannabe: Edelgard thinks that they're a Chessmaster who is using Agartha to their own ends, and that they're a noble revolutionary who is reclaiming stolen land for their kingdom and 'saving' humanity from the Children of the Goddess. Edelgard does succeed in starting a war of reunification, but their ruthlessness alienates their fellow students, their use of Dirty Business and demonic beasts turn their people against them to the point of open revolt, Maximus Varley, who she released under the assumption she could control him, attacks Hrym and slaughters hundreds of her own people, and they repeatedly underestimate Claude and Dimitri even as they invade deeper and deeper into Adrestia. Finally, despite thinking that she's The Starscream to Thales, they're actually just an Unwitting Pawn whose actions have only served Agartha's goal of destroying Fódlan.

Adaptational Karma: Compared to canon Verdant Wind, where they were a full Karma Houdini, Cornelia is caught for her role in the Tragedy of Duscur and is presumably executed offscreen. Count Gloucester is an odd meta-subversion. In canon, he only received a dish of Humble Pie at the end of Verdant Wind. In here, not only does his second attempt to get merchants to his land by monopolizing the route got found out with the Knights and Claude's grandfather holding it on his head, he is also on the receiving end of a Humiliation Conga when he decided to pick a fight and confront Claude over his heritage and rally several soldiers to his side and tried to undermine Claude out of entitled pettiness over not getting to marry Tiana Von Riegan years ago, only for it to backfire horribly on him when Bernadetta starts Shaming the Mob and the rest of the now former students coming to Claude's defense, concluding with Byleth completely destroying his bigoted claims, leaving him utterly defeated. However, this is all based on characterization extrapolated from apparent Offscreen Villainy in Three Houses, and Warriors: Three Hopes would portray him as an honorable man and the victim of Unreliable Exposition.

In Chapter 73, Edelgard's civilians stone her again during the siege of Enbarr, distracting her during her attempts to fight the invading Kingdom/Alliance forces.

Edelgard comes to the conclusion that Claude is a Machiavellian chessmaster who has manipulated both Dimitri and Byleth to serve his own plans to rule Fódlan and considers them disposable, assumes that everything he did throughout the year is calculated to that end, and starts treating him as their Arch-Enemy. Needless to say, Claude's POV sections make it clear that he actually discarded his initial plans for Fódlan after falling in love with the pair, he's opposing them out of a desire to protect the innocents being swept up in the war, and he has no idea how much they loathe him personally.

From Chapters 52 to 80, Edelgard gets an interlude every seven chapters; Chapter 87 gives an interlude to Fraldarius, Chapter 91 gives one to Blaiddyd, Chapter 98 gives one to several heroes, and Chapter 101 gives one to Yuri.

First she loses the Battle for Garreg Mach despite having heavy advantages, when The Cavalry arrives. Secondly, thanks to Atra and Glenn, Rodrigue is forewarned about Cornelia's presence in Faerghus's court and manages to capture her beforehand; the students also warn their Lord parents about upcoming conflict, so both kingdoms are better prepared for war than she planned. Then their attempt to assassinate Dimitri and Rodrigue to tear apart the alliance between Faerghus and the Leicester Alliance fails due to Acheron botching it, Byleth's divine pulse abilities, and Claude keeping the army from panicking and strategizing a victory against bad odds. As the allied army begins to march into Adrestia proper, Edelgard attempts to trap them in Fort Merceus and uses the Javelins of Light in an attempt to wipe out the army's leaders - however, Byleth sees the attack coming and evacuates the fort in time, meaning she only succeeded in killing her own troops and destroying her most defensible fortress. As Dimitri, Claude and Byleth continue to win victory after victory, information about the javelins and demonic beasts starts spreading through the common people via Imperial soldiers who Dimitri spared. This leads to a protest in Enbarr; when Edelgard tries to lie her way out, they call her out on it and a riot is triggered when one of her guards stabs a young boy who'd thrown a brick at her. This triggers further unrest, riots and desertion from their army (with those who stay in the guard often apathetic to stopping it), making her desperate enough to let Maximus Varley out of house arrest and order him to quell the riots. As soon as he's out of reach of any of her loyal men, Maximus promptly usurps Ferdinand's authority and leads a bloody suppression in Hrym that results in massive civilian casualties, Ferdinand's defection, and turns all but her most fanatical loyalists against her.

Ship Tease: While the main relationship is between Dimitri, Claude and Byleth, there are several that had been hinted throughout the story and eventually gets tagged in the stories. To note several of them: Ingrid with Glenn, Sylvain with Dorothea, Ignatz with Flayn, Lindhart with Hapi, Yuri with Atra, and so on.

Affectionate Nickname: Claude starts calling Dimitri 'Mitya' after being told by the latter to stop calling him 'your highness'. Sothis affectionately calls Byleth's students 'delinquents'. Michael Blaiddyd refers to Renata Fraldarius as 'Rena'.

Would Be Rude to Say "Genocide"
 The Savior King, the Master Tactician and the Queen of Liberation (Fanfic) / int_de56f2bf
comment
Would Be Rude to Say "Genocide": In the very distant past, Sothis wiped out the armies of the ancient nations of Laputa and Agartha when they refused to stop warring with one another. When they then joined forces to fight her, she destroyed both nations. This is treated as an unambiguous good act in the present, and the possibility that innocents may have died alongside the guilty is never brought up.

Casual Danger Dialogue
 The Savior King, the Master Tactician and the Queen of Liberation (Fanfic) / int_df41acb
comment
The author tries to portray the war as gruesome, horrific, and soul-crushing, even going as far as to have Byleth give a particularly lurid speech about how exhausted it's made her, but this clashes badly with the fact that Casual Danger Dialogue and World of Snark are in full effect. While in the heat of the moment, combat scenes are focused more on portraying how badass the characters are than it does on showing any psychological harm they might be suffering.

Artistic License – Politics: The author uses "kingdom" as a synonym for "country" fairly often, even when discussing Leicester and Adrestia. This wouldn't be as significant an issue except that Three Houses is always very careful to properly describe Adrestia and Leicester as an Empire and Alliance, respectively, as neither country is ruled by a monarch. Only Faerghus is ever referred to as a kingdom.

Hate Sink: Maximus Varley doesn't get a lot of screen time, but he spends every sentence he gets being as loathsome as possible. Not only did he tie Bernadetta to a chair and lock her in the attic to 'teach her to be quiet', he's repeatedly implied to have been physically abusive as well; on top of that, he even turns protecting her into a Kick the Dog moment - after catching Yuri as a would be assassin, he didn't tell Bernadetta that - instead, he has a maid take her to a window and force her to watch his men beat Yuri nearly to death to ensure she wouldn't 'disgrace him' by 'slumming it with commoners' again. Maximus holds commoners in such deep contempt that, when Edelgard reluctantly lets him out of house arrest in order to suppress the riots that have sprung up against her, Maximus leads the army to slaughter people armed with stones and bricks and their bare hands. When Ferdinand attempts to countermand his violent orders at Hrym, Maximus attacks and usurps him before ordering the city to be razed as punishment for defying the Emperor. When Felix confronts him in a duel, Maximus is unrepentant, claiming "when animals snap at their masters, it's prudent to cull the herd".

 The Savior King, the Master Tactician and the Queen of Liberation (Fanfic) / int_e6b8db89
comment
Deconstruction Fic: The fic notably takes a sledgehammer to the character of Edelgard, who finds themselves facing the harsh realities of war here: In order to provide funding for their armies, Edelgard has to raises taxes, which puts a strain on the economy. Most of the food gets sent to the army, while the rest is rationed among civilians, which causes famine in many cities. Furthermore, because they chose invade around the spring, most the farmers are conscripted, which means that the famine will grow worse come winter. As Edelgard finds themselves facing one defeat after the other, they resort to even more desperate and immoral acts to try to eke out a victory. The constant defeats cause the citizens to have doubts about the war and begin protesting in Enbarr. When Edelgard tries to quell the protest, the citizens see through her lies and half truths, which leads to a couple of bricks being thrown at her. One brick grazes her shoulder, and after she dodges the other one, one of her guards kills the protester who threw it, which sparks a riot in Enbarr. Edelgard's relationship with Agartha is not an equal-footing Teeth-Clenched Teamwork. Rather, Thales makes it clear that he was always aware of her intention to usurp him and reminds her that rather than The Starscream, she's just an Unwitting Pawn by easily crushing her resistance via ordering Lamine to subdue her.

Point of Divergence: The plot starts off with Dimitri accidentally learning Claude's half-Almyran heritage and becoming a Secret-Keeper. This allows Dimitri to gain Claude's full trust, the two becoming closer than before. As the Cindered Shadows subplot is part of the main storyline, a chain of events soon occur that will affect the story after the arc: Jeralt and Sothis were notably absent during the game's events of he Cindered Shadows side story. Here they play important roles in the mini-arc. All three house leaders learn that Jeralt bears the Major Crest of Seiros at some point in the arc and Jeralt learns what happened to Sitri. And Sothis allows Byleth to reveal her existence to her students after events lead to her near death, speaking to people other than Byleth for the first time. Several characters that weren't involved in the Cindered Shadows game events join the cast in the mini-arc at different points of the arc. Bernadetta was with the group when they first discover the Abyss and meets Yuri much earlier who was also the childhood friend she thought was dead. Byleth is then joined by Lysithea, Marianne, Dedue and Felix later on when she heads to rejoin the group after falling into a coma after her brush with death. The hunt for the Chalice led to Byleth nearly dying from overusing Divine Pulse, which leads to her revealing her abilities and Sothis' existence to her students, with Edelgard among those students. In the aftermath of the mini-arc, Byleth is forced to sit out from the Battle of the Eagle and Lion as she's still recovering from her brush with death during the Cindered Shadows mini-arc and the fight against the Umbral Beast, thus all houses have to fight without their house teachers to guide them. Yuri's involvement along with Dimitri and Claude keeping a close eye on Byleth ensures that she won't act reckless in her pursuit for revenge against Kronya in the Sealed Forest since they know that it's a trap for Byleth. As a result, Byleth is able to kill her father's killer and Yuri kills Solon, preventing the dark ritual from occurring and allowing Sothis to remain with Byleth with her individuality intact. Unlike in canon the Church, with the help from the allied Kingdom/Alliance forces were able to obtain victory in the Battle for Garreg Mach against the Empire. The price for said victory is still taxing for the characters though. When Glenn is revealed to have survived, Rodrigue is prompted to launch an investigation into who was truly behind the Tragedy of Duscur and convinces the Eastern lords to cooperate to find the true culprit offscreen. In Chapter 51, it's revealed that Cornelia was found as the true instigator of the Tragedy of Duscur and was promptly executed.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Lysithea usually refuses to show fear in public, so Dimitri hearing her openly panic is an immediate sign that something very, very bad is about to happen. Fort Merceus is about to get blown to kingdom come by javelins of light. Claude notes that if Mercedes thinks you're a slimeball, you really suck (in reference to her adoptive father). Fraldarius describes Daphnel as stoic in combat and refined out of it, so to hear her profanely curse her situation shocks her.

Writer on Board: The encounter with the Flame Emperor at Remire. In the original game, it's a moment in which the Emperor and Jeralt argue about the former's actions before the Emperor makes a plea to Byleth to join their side. In the fanfic, it becomes a one-sided argument between Claude and Atra against the Flame Emperor, which mostly consists of the first two aggressively espousing the author's opinions of the latter, while the Emperor goes full Straw Character and defends themselves in a poor and out of character way. Byleth and Jeralt go mostly ignored.

Cain and Abel: Atra is the Abel while her sister Kronya is the Cain.

Dimitri and Edelgard, as per canon, are a step-sibling version of it.

One-Steve Limit: Averted in three cases. One of Lysithea's siblings was named Maya, which also happens to be the name of Raphael's younger sister. Gustav is the name of a minor OC from Jeralt's mercenary crew, as well as being Gilbert's real name. The name "Justine" could refer to either a minor OC from Jeralt's Mercenaries or Imperial Princess Justine von Hresvelg, Edelgard's younger sister, who became mute and partially paralyzed as a result of the "experiments" performed on her by the Agarthans.

Locked Out of the Loop: The other heroes decide not to inform Dimitri that Atra was one of the soldiers who helped cause the Tragedy of Duscur, out of fear of how badly he'd take it. Atra finally confesses to him in Chapter 51, and while he does have a manic fit and slashes her cheek with his dagger, he doesn't kill her.

Mercy Kill: When the Agarthans prepare to withdraw from Enbarr, Lamine creatively interprets an order to "take [Edelgard] down" and attempts to kill her in order to spare her from whatever horrific fate Thales has in store for her. Sadly for her, it doesn't work.

Holst is not only just as much a Cool Big Bro as the series implies, but in his letter to Claude after the Almyrans pull their Big Damn Heroes moment to save not only Holst's forces but also the Kingdom's from Count Bergliez's own forces he not only shows an incredible amount of admiration for Claude but it's made very, very clear that he considers the younger boy to be incredibly brave due to Claude's position as a half-Almyran in Fódlan considering the Fantastic Racism for his people that perpetuates the land and that the respect he had for Claude just increased ten-fold once it became clear what he was trying to do. Said attitude actually causes Claude to openly shed Tears of Joy, which become even more touching when Hilda unhesitatingly echoes her brother's admiration, adoration and respect for Claude.

Death Seeker: In picking apart Lord Lonato in chapter 8, Claude suggests that he is also one, but Claude is disgusted by the fact that Lonato would attempt to kill Ashe and lead a civilian militia to their deaths, and that he would disregard how his failed rebellion over his dead son would impact the family and territory he left behind. The Wandering Beast is tired after a millennium of wandering the forests of Edmund territory, going berserk, and eating people. He offers to help the heroes besiege Shambhala in exchange for Byleth putting him out of his misery.
