Crimson Flower Route, 'Fire Emblem: Three Houses', Edelgard/Petra. 

After finding the opportunity Edelgard and the Black Eagles Strike Force visit the home country of Petra's, Brigid. There Petra is extremely excited to show everyone, particularly the emperor, around her home to teach them of her culture, all the while showing Brigidians that Adrestians and Fódlaners can exist together.

Edelgard finds her feelings for Petra to be quite wonderful, perhaps even beyond close friends; Petra harbours strong feelings for Edelgard, although is unsure how to display them. Closest family and friends mistaken Petra's companionship with Edelgard to be romantic, leaving the two flustered. Yet what better way to unify and liberate two countries by forming a genuine loving bond between its two rulers? Everyone is a winner then: two women find love with one another, and two countries form a bond.

(you make me happy)

Yo anon you bet your tush I’ll try to draw and post some Edelgard and Petra especially after FE3H is released! If I have the time to though which is unfortunate *weeps* … for now please accept this uwu (did I just??)

lmao I make the weirdest captions but I really love lucisev and they have limited interactions and I’m a little sad that Edelgard and Petra go up to B but I guess it’s better than nothing! Their B support was really cute though

Day 5: Tender for @fe3hlgbtweek! With how gruelling the war Petra states to Edelgard that if the two are tender together they can soothe their souls. (Post-Timeskip!Edelgard/Petra).

Petra knows that Edelgard is a capable warrior.

Everyone in the Black Eagle Strike Force knows that Edelgard can hold her head up high and appear unfazed in the face of great adversary. As someone with a warrior background Petra recognises the white haired woman’s talents in the battlefield. When the two fight together they seem completely unstoppable. When together they dance across their enemies and slice them with their weapons. When by each other’s sides they know they can rely on each other.

Yet when it came to tender moments like hugs or resting an arm on a shoulder the two lacked the skills.

Petra notices how Edelgard flinches when someone hugs her from behind, or when a person even simply grazes her side. Thanks to her hunter background she can sense someone’s true... ‘colours’ for the lack of better Fódlanese word. Edelgard is a tormented soul. It pains the foreign princess to see how her close companion suffers in silence. Whilst being affectionate with friends is normal in Brigid Petra herself has not found the time to embrace tender touches. In that regard she and Edelgard are alike. Petra herself tries to look unfazed by the war, but in truth she is as tired as Edelgard. 

They’ve always been so alike.

They’ve always shared the burdens.

In regards to the emperor the Brigidian noticed her walk, completely oblivious of her presence, to a tree. Thanks to her honed eyesight from years of hunting prey Petra noticed how sullen Edelgard appeared. That peculiar hairstyle of the emperor also seemed untidy with the loose strands falling from the buns. A determined frown found itself etched on the tanned woman’s face. Edelgard used to always look after her, and now it was her turn to check on her. With that in mind Petra approached Edelgard.

“Greetings Edelgard!” Petra called out with a smile.

A flinch of the head indicated that Edelgard heard her. She turned to the younger woman and offered one of those rare genuine smiles of hers. Seeing Edelgard’s face beam towards her made Petra feel a sense of warmth she’s never felt with anyone else. It is a strange but not unpleasant feeling. 

Edelgard/Petra is too good (I think ‘Petragard’ has the best ring to it compared to ‘Edeltra’) to pass! The beginning parts are more friendship but develop more over time!

Edelgard on Petra:

Edelgard instantly liked Petra for being a hard worker and studious individual. 

She admires how regardless of language boundaries Petra wishes to have the same work as other students.

Edelgard finds Petra to be brave when she asks for others to help her with her language and grammar; it takes courage to seek help.

Petra loves her homeland (patriotically, not nationalistically) and Edelgard can relate to that.

She loves having intelligent conversations with Petra: on politics, life-style and the future of Fodlan.

Petra was one of the first person to not insult or point out her stature; she even states the benefits and it makes Edelgard feel happy.

She loves how Petra treats her so… normal? As if she is not the future emperor. 

Can’t handle a ‘mild’ dish? Petra laughs at her. Admits she can’t swim? Petra’s there to help her. She treats her as a person.

Edelgard honestly loves Petra’s accent and voice. It’s so charming and soothing, yet it can be serious and menacing. 

She can count on Petra to watch her back and be by her side as a friend, as Edelgard does for her.

She loves learning about Brigid from Petra (also seeing Petra beam with joy melts the future emperor).

Petra is so considerate of others even those not of her people that Edelgard finds her inspirational. 

Petra’s smile are so genuine and warm that it never fails to make Edelgard smile.

Her brown eyes are so full of spirit and strength that Edelgard feels safe and cared for whenever she looks at them.

She loves Petra’s hugs as they’re warm and genuine. 

When Edelgard saw Petra’s hair down for the first time her breath was taken away. Petra’s just so beautiful.

She realised her feelings for her when the two were split up from the Black Eagles and worked together.

Petra’s kindness, selflessness, strong-spirit, intelligence-

Just… everything about Petra is wonderful. Being in love with her is so wonderful.

Petra on Edelgard:

(An angsty drabble about Edelgard and Petra sending each other letters, and how Petra stops over time. Edelgard/Petra.).

When they graduated Edelgard suggested to Petra that in order to keep contact that they should write letters to each other. Petra was ecstatic with the idea; she could keep in contact with her best friend and love while she was back at Brigid! 

The first letter brought incomprehensible joy to both rulers.

Dearest Petra,

Though it has been two months since we graduated I find myself missing you the most. You were the first true friend I made; I felt like our connection was genuine. I believe that Brigid is in capable hands with you. We will see each other again some time. That is something I constantly look forward to.

Your dearest friend, Edelgard.

It is said that Petra had the widest grin any human being could muster when she had read that letter.

Dearest Edelgard,

Reading your letter warms me greatly! You are someone whom I miss most. I miss everyone, yet I thinking of you always. You first welcomed me and respected me. Over time I cherished you, and now you are closest friend. I too looking much forward when we meet again!

Your dearest friend, Petra.

They kept sending letters to each other, both constantly eager to receive news from one another. Whenever they heard that they received a letter excitement consumed every fibre of their being, even if they might have felt tired or dour.

Dearest Petra,

It was absolutely wonderful seeing you again! Oh how I miss your kind brown eyes and radiant smile. You bring unspeakable joy to mine life. No other person does so. In this case I was wondering if... maybe when the time is right...that you would take my hand in marriage. Please disregard that last statement!

Your dearest friend, Edelgard.

Dearest Edelgard,

I felt such an immense joy from seeing you after a year since we last saw each other! My Adrestian has improved and your Brigidian has too! You are the only person to make me feel special. I could not read your scribbled writing. Did you write something embarrassing? You know I can never find you embarrassing.

Your dearest friend, Petra.

But overtime in the following years Edelgard stopped receiving letters from Petra.
