Hey! Was wondering if you had any recommendations on serious fics that are lighter on the shipping/romance side?
i got you, anon! finding more friendship-focused/platonic/gen fics is so hard lmao, and there’s so few of them compared to the shippy stuff. i managed to find a couple, so if anyone has any others, please send them in.
xviii. riegan - claude-centric, & his relationship with the Golden Deer. i read this some time ago and i liked it lots
Foggy Windows - byleth & jeralt through the years. v sad towards the end but also heartwarming!
to show our feelings of appreciation - dedue-centric & his relationships with the Lions (spoilers for post-timeskip AM). this is serious enough but also v sweet, i adored it (but then again we all adore dedUE)
Memory of the Lost - byleth-centric, time loop. this one is currently on my reading list, but i absolutely love the other fic in the series (which is also more serious and not shippy) so i’m v excited for this one!
