Pinch Hit #13: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn, Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword, Fire Emblem: Three Houses (fic)

Request 1 by Bitterbyte

Fandom: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn

Characters/Relationships: Leannee/Naesala (PoR/RD), Ike/Soren (PoR/RD), Ike & Soren (PoR/RD), Tormod & Muarim & Vika (PoR/RD)

Medium: Fic

Additional Details:

Tags I like:
>Found family
>Hurt/comfort
>Emotional hurt/comfort
>PTSD
>Comfort Food
>Fluff and angst
>Slice of life

I just want Ike and Soren to have a cute bonding moment together. Or seeing Naesala being kind to Leanne.

If you're a writer who enjoys specific prompts, feel free to use any of these:
1) Naesala letting his guard down around Leanne.
2) Hurt/Comfort Ike and Soren. One of them had a bad day, a nightmare, or "insert thing here".
3) Tormod & Muarim & Vika being just a bunch of outcast and #found family.

I'd rather keep it T, but for M, Heavy topics are also okay like any kind of emotional, psychological/abuse. Don't be afraid of hurting blorbos a bit if needed.

DNW: Please avoid AUs and crossovers. I also don't like gore, horror, omegaverse or BDSM.

Nino deserves all the hugs and love ever, so I'd prefer Jaffar & Nino or Erk/ Nino if possible. But all the combos listed above are wonderful.
Regarding Sain/Serra I found this artist the other day, and I love their interpretation of the couple. It just looks so fun https://www.tumblr.com/krazieka2/798317068014551040/meet-my-fe7-otp-everyone?source=share

If you're a writer who enjoys specific prompts, feel free to use any of these:
1) Jaffar and Nino emotional hurt/comfort
2) Jaffar being seen, as in: he gets surprised because someone knows his habits or likes and is considerate with him (like not putting X in his food because he doesn't like it, or "insert other thing here"). Then Jaffar dealing with those feelings.
3) Tactician & Lyn group as found family and sharing a cute or bonding moment, preferably around food.



I'd rather keep it T, but for M, Heavy topics are also okay, like any kind of emotional, psychological/abuse etc. Don't be afraid of hurting blorbos a bit if needed.

DNW: Please avoid AUs and crossovers. I also don't like gore, horror, omegaverse or BDSM.
Also, please avoid portraying Sonia as anything good. I really hate it when abusers or awful family members get redemption arcs or the "not that bad" treatment.

I'd like the story to be post-time skip, please.



If you're a writer who enjoys specific prompts, feel free to use any of these:
1) Ashe & Yuri having a heart-to-heart conversation. I want to see them facing each other and maybe Yuri recriminating Ashe for leaving him behind.
2) Ashen Wolves #found family. Please and thank you!
3) Gatekeeper having a bit more of development and being adorable. Maybe some fluff hurt/comfort.

DNW: Please avoid AUs and crossovers. I also don't like gore, horror, omegaverse or BDSM.
Also, please avoid portraying Bernadetta's father as anything good. I really hate it when abusers or awful family members get redemption arcs or the "not that bad" treatment.
