ask about sylv’s FE ships

What is the rarest rare pair (that you ship)?

Alm/Cliff from Fire Emblem Gaiden! I love the idea of Alm reaching out to Cliff and I have a ton of headcanons for them... 

One of my biggest headcanons is that Cliff is illiterate, and reads storybooks for the pictures but interprets them in his own way. After Alm listens to Cliff give his own interpretations, he decides to teach Cliff how to read and write. It isn’t long before Cliff is writing his own stories- and Alm reads every single one of them.

I also headcanon that Cliff leaves after the war because he wants to figure out what he wants to do on his own. Alm and Ram Village is all he’s known his whole life, after all. Cliff becomes a storybook writer in Talys and donates half his profits to an orphanage there, so that they may start a school for the children. It’s through Cliff’s publications that Alm, who has been searching for him for some time after the war, reunites with his old friend and finally confesses his love to him.
