I did finish a full playthrough of Crimson Flower years ago (maybe just one year ago, I can't really remember). I liked it well enough, and I was able to create a vague concept for a sequel. My sequel basically ripped off Star Wars, with Seteth and Flayn as Obi-Wan while Edelgard's descendants (some of whom took her ideas way further than even she originally did) served as the Palpatine or Vader figure. Beyond that, the game would be all new characters. Seteth and Flayn are the only returning ones, probably.
But besides that, I think a version of Crimson Flower where you got all new playable characters to reflect how Edelgard's army is made up of some genuine idealists, some loyalists only devoted to the throne and some genuinely crazy psychopaths would've been really fun. I think I'm plagiarizing a post from years ago that I barely remember, but a world where Crimson Flower has an all new playable cast to replace everyone else would be neat. It could be the inverse of Silver Snow. The only difference is that Byleth joins Edelgard. The other Black Eagles still join the Church. Maybe make it so you have two versions of Crimson Flower. Crimson Flower with the Eagles and without them.
The version without them would have replacements for all of them. Jeritza, Randolph, Ladislava, possibly even Metodey and stuff. You'd need more characters to create a full line up, but it could be done. I think it could definitely be done. And besides: I almost want to know what a Jeritza and Metodey support chain would look like. Give me an S Support between the two crazy men with violence obsessions. Now that'd be fascinating. I think that alone should be enough to support this concept. Metodey and Jeritza could be the mad soldier power couple we never knew we needed! Metodey supports generally sound like they'd be a wonderful excuse for some really dark comedy. And I kind of love that.
"she’s loyal, she’s capable, she has presence, and she makes the empire side feel way more real to me because she doesn’t come off like some cartoonish henchman at all. she feels like someone edelgard genuinely trusts, and that matters!! also i am forever a sucker for the category of character that makes half the fandom go “why wasn’t she playable.” as far as i’m concerned that IS star power."
vs. Flayn
"FLAYN my sweet weird little fish-obsessed daughter.........
i love her SO much. she has that perfect combination of being genuinely adorable and also just kind of odd in a way that makes her so much more fun than if she were only “cute church girl.” like yes she’s polite and cheerful and precious, but she’s also got this whole slightly-off way of talking and reacting to things where you’re just like hm. there is something going on with you. and that’s GREAT. also i’m always weak to characters who seem very soft and dainty at first and then turn out to have way more going on under the surface. plus her supports are so charming!! she’s just lovely. i’m fond of her badly."

Warnings: Major Character Death
Fandom: Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes/Fire Emblem Three Houses
Pairing: Ferdinand von Aegir/Hubert von Vestra
Characters: Hubert von Vestra, Ferdinand von Aegir, Edelgard von Hresvelg, Ladislava
War is raging across FĂłdlan, and the Empire must make a choice. Taking risks gets results, but of course, the consequences are not always worth it. In a mission gone wrong, one of the Empire's most esteemed generals pays the ultimate price in order to protect the ones they love.
And I leave you these words, my dearest Hubert...
Ladislava entered the room. Her clothes were torn and stained beyond recognition, blood and dirt caked deep into the fabrics. Bruises and scrapes covered every inch of exposed skin, and she walked with a lameness in her gait. She cleared her throat to get the attention of the two others in the room, unable to keep the despair from seeping into her face.
“Lady Edelgard. Lord Vestra.”
Edelgard looked up from where the two were scouring over some battle plans, her face immediately falling.
“Ladislava?” Edelgard abruptly stood from her seat. Hubert regarded her with his usual cold demeanor, his face devoid of any and all emotion, perfectly crafted to hide the swell of anxiety and unease he felt inside.Â
“We did not expect you back so soon. What has happened?” he asked cooly. But the fear bubbled beneath the surface, threatening to rear its ugly head and break through. Any breath, any sound could be the one to give him away. His skin prickled with discomfort, for too much, too much was out of his control.
Ladislava remained silent for just a moment too long. Edelgard continued in her stead, her voice laced with desperation.
“What of Ferdinand's forces? Have they returned? Why is he not with you?!”
Ladislava’s shoulders slumped, her composure crumbling.
“Your Majesty, I… must regretfully inform you that our reinforcements arrived… too late.”
Edelgard choked on a breath. “What do you mean ?”
…What?
Too late…?
Hubert's heart felt like it had come to a complete stop. He grunted in discomfort, but it was quiet enough that neither of the others in the room paid him any mind. There was no other tell that could yet give him away. He was still protected behind his unfeeling, unthinking mask.
“I am so dreadfully sorry, Your Majesty,” Ladislava continued, voice shaking. “Upon arrival we were already overwhelmed by Riegan’s forces. Ferdinand and his battalion were completely bested. It was all we could do to get ourselves back alive.”
Hubert trembled where he stood. He tightened his grip on the battle plans he’d brought to Edelgard for review.
“My own battalion suffered major losses. It was clearly Claude’s intention to entrap us in Alliance territory from the beginning. He and Lord Gloucester must have planned for this to happen exactly as it did.”
Edelgard cursed, falling back into her seat. “I should have sent another general with him… Damnit , I never should have let him go alone!”
“Please, Your Majesty. This is not your fault. It is mine. I could not move quickly enough. It was my duty to put a stop to this, and I failed.”
Edelgard was silent, quiet tears falling from her eyes onto the papers strewn across her desk. Hubert stood unmoving next to her, barely breathing. He stared into the nothingness of the ground, fearing that any attempt to speak, to move, to breathe would result in him completely falling apart.
“Ferdinand,” Edelgard choked out finally. “He's… he's…?”
“I’m afraid so, Your Majesty…” Ladislava said solemnly.
“How can you be sure?” Edelgard demanded, slamming a fist down on her desk, the words thick with desperation.
“I watched as Claude himself delivered the finishing blow to General Aegir. I… I tried your Majesty. I moved as quickly as I could, but I… I was too late…”
Too late.
Reinforcements were called as soon as they'd received word from their stronghold against Gloucester territory that the Lord had retracted his allegiance. How did they not make it in time. How had Claude managed to pull together such forces in such a small amount of time?
...Ferdinand…and his battalion…bested…
His battalion? Sure. They'd been hand-picked by the man himself, but perhaps they were not as skilled as Hubert remembered. Surely even if none of the battalion made it, Ferdinand was absolutely skilled enough to best Riegan and make it out alive.
…
But the Ferdinand he knew would never abandon his men, would he?
His mind was at war with itself, Hubert realized. Trying, in vain, to match sense and logic with desires and desperation. To look at all the facts that had been presented to him and promptly cast them aside, instead opting to believe what he so badly wanted to be the truth and make up evidence to support it.
Ferdinand… you fool. How could you do this…?
Hubert brought a shaking hand to his chest, willing his damned lungs to take in air. He couldn't breathe. But no, he was breathing too much, too quickly, too shallow. The oxygen couldn't make it to his brain. He couldn't breathe, he couldn't think .
“Ladislava, you are dismissed. Please inform the others. And, please see to it that no one comes looking for us for a while.”
“Consider it done, your Majesty.”
…
“Hubert?” Edelgard asked softly. The man hadn’t moved an inch since he’d asked Ladislava why she was here.
Finishing blow… General Aegir…
Hubert choked on a sob and his body finally gave in. He fell to his knees, the paperwork he’d been desperately clinging to falling from his grasp and fluttering across the floor in front of him. His heartbeat thumped in his ears. He couldn’t hear anything else. He didn’t want to hear anything else. Damn it all , he'd heard more than enough.
Lies. It all had to be lies. Hubert could not stand the words otherwise. Ladislava was simply mistaken. There was no way that Ferdinand von Aegir fell to the likes of Claude von Riegan. The notion was laughable. Asinine. And this was no time for jokes, damnit, they were in the middle of a war!
“...ubert…!”
Claude was a devious schemer and a brilliant tactician, this much praise was due. But Ferdinand could never, would never fall to the likes of him. Ferdinand was a brilliant fighter, his quick wit and sound decision-making saving them on multiple occasions. His prowess on the battlefield was truly unmatched. Even the Empire’s most skilled fighters couldn’t best him in their training. Ferdinand himself had felled general after general of high standing in both the Kingdom and the Alliance.
“...Hubert!...”
…
It was Edelgard’s voice. Somewhere out there, trying to reach him. He wanted to grab for it, to latch on to it and never let it go. What he should have done when Ferdinand insisted that he and his battalion take the initiative to begin marching through Gloucester territory.
“Do you not trust me, Hubert?” Ferdinand had demanded, sporting his typical half-pout whenever Hubert had tried to talk him out of charging forward into enemy lines. Hubert had to give him credit, though, he was particularly motivated to get moving on this mission.
“You need to use that head of yours to think sometimes, Aegir ,” Hubert had scolded. “You’re a general; your topmost priority needs to be the survival of yourself and your troops.”
“I will be in Gloucester territory, Hubert. They’ve sworn fealty, and will undoubtedly send reinforcements should we require them.”
Edelgard had agreed then. “He’s our best chance to actually make some headway into Alliance territory while they’re still reeling from the split with Gloucester and Phlegethon territory. We have to trust him, Hubert.”
“Then let us send additional Empire forces,” Hubert had countered, his tone almost desperate. “One battalion won't be enough to counter Riegan’s army should the worst come to pass.”
“So that's it then, you don't trust me!” Ferdinand accused. “You don't think I can handle this!”
“Ferdinand quit spouting nonsense, you know damn well you're one of the only people in this world that I do trust,” Hubert bit back. “It is Riegan that I wouldn't trust half as far as I could throw him.”
Slight color had dusted Ferdinand’s cheeks. “Well, to be fair Hubert, you could probably throw him quite far.” Â
“Ferdinand, this is truly no time for your dreadful jokes.”
Edelgard stepped in then, resting a reassuring hand on Hubert's shoulder. “We cannot afford to part with more forces right now, Hubert, we are already spread so thin. We have to trust in what few allies we’ve made. It is the only choice we have.”
Hubert had finally sighed in resignation, dread weighing heavy in his heart. “Yes, Your Majesty.” He turned and walked away, having nothing else positive to say on the matter.
Ferdinand offered apologies to Lady Edelgard before running after him.
“Hubert, don't you think that this is a little ridiculous, even for you?”
Hubert had bit his tongue and kept walking. Ferdinand groaned in frustration, running to catch up to him.
“Hubert, for the Goddess' sake, will you slow down and talk to me?”
“I doubt I have anything to say that you wish to hear, Ferdinand,” Hubert bit back.Â
“Then will you at least stop and hear me?”
Hubert stopped abruptly, Ferdinand nearly tripping over himself so he didn't collide into him. Ferdinand had muttered something under his breath as he regained his composure, moving so that he and Hubert were face-to-face.
“Look, I know you don't trust Claude. And to be truthful Hubert, neither do I. And I'm sure Lady Edelgard has her own reservations. But this is war, and sometimes we need to take risks.”
Hubert crossed his arms. Since when was Ferdinand the sensible one, leaving him to be the dramatic? He despised the way their roles had been reversed. “Risks that involve one of our most skilled generals practically throwing himself to the wolves?”
“Hubert, please,” Ferdinand had truly begged, his pleading gaze holding Hubert firmly in place in front of him. “I need you to trust me more than you distrust Claude.”
Hubert took a deep breath. “Ferdinand, of course I trust you. You know damn well you're the only one I think capable of pulling this off other than Lady Edelgard or myself.”
Ferdinand had smiled then. “My men are skilled fighters. Even in the case we do cross blades with Claude’s forces, I know that we can hold our own. Especially considering we've got you on the back swing.” Ferdinand gave Hubert a playful nudge. Had anyone else dared touch him, they'd be reduced to atoms. But, seeing as it was Ferdinand, Hubert could only fight the smile that threatened to make its way to the surface. In vain, of course. Ferdinand beamed brighter when he saw the small smile tugging at Hubert’s lips.
“This is going to work, Hubert, I promise.”
Hubert shook his head. “No, I need you to promise me something else.”
Ferdinand tilted his head in question. Hubert took Ferdinand's hands into his own, the latter blushing from the gesture and from Hubert's intense gaze.
“You must promise to return to us. Unscathed if you can, but you absolutely must return to us. To me.”
Hubert hadn’t entirely meant to include the last part, but he dared not take it back. Ferdinand was astounded by Hubert's serious demeanor, paired with such blatant, genuine concern for his well-being. Usually Hubert's care came in the form of snide comments and back-handed compliments. This was… uncharacteristic.
Ferdinand would be lying if he said it didn't unnerve him. But, steeling his resolve, he gave Hubert’s hands a comforting squeeze.
“There is nothing in this world that could stop me from returning to the Empire. Rest assured, Hubert, this isn't the last you'll see of me.”
“Hubert, please, look at me.”
He looked up. But he could not see. His vision was completely clouded, as though they’d been shrouded in the densest fog.Â
“You were right. I should have listened to you," Edelgard began, voice quivering. "Oh, Hubert, I am so sorry.”Â
He felt the warmth of Lady Edelgard’s embrace around him, her body shaking with the force of her sobs. He hugged her back, burying his face in the crook of her neck. He could not remember the last time he'd broken down like this in front of her. He could not remember the last time he'd broken down like this period.
Edelgard continued whispering desperate apologies to him as they both cried.
Eventually the tears stopped and they sat there, their quiet, ragged breaths the only sounds in the room. They were oddly grounding, in a way.
“Hubert,” Edelgard asked softly, her voice hoarse.
“Yes, Your Majesty?”
He was shocked with the clarity of his own voice despite having just sobbed harder than he had in decades.
“Can you ever forgive me?”
Hubert’s head fell, the smallest hint of a chuckle on his lips. “Oh, Lady Edelgard, there is nothing to forgive.”
“It is my fault-”
Hubert immediately stopped her. “You made the call that you believed was best for the Empire. You mustn't begin to doubt yourself now. Ferdinand surely didn't. And neither do I.”
Hubert looked up, and his heart cracked at the sight of her. Her eyes were red and wet with fresh tears. He hadn’t seen her this broken since… since she'd come back from Those Who Slither in the Dark all those years ago.Â
He failed to protect her then. He must protect her now.
“Hubert…”Â
“Lady Edelgard, you have spent your whole life fighting for what is right. You inspire all of us to fight with everything we have, to see your vision come to pass. Ferdinand was surely honored to fall fighting for a better future for the people of Fódlan. He would not resent you for this.”
“But what about you, Hubert?” Edelgard asked desperately. “I didn't listen to your concerns, and now, the one you held most dear, he’s…”
Without thinking, Hubert took Edelgard’s face into his hands.
“My Lady, there is not a thing in the world you could do that would make me resent you. He… Ferdinand is not the only one I hold most dear.”Â
Edelgard visibly melted in relief, falling back into Hubert's arms as fresh cries tore their way from her lips. Hubert held her tight.
“His death will not be in vain. We will continue to fight for the Empire. For Fódlan.”
