A Family Picnic (770 words) by herbofthyme Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Fire Emblem: If | Fire Emblem: Fates Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Camilla/Leon | Leo Characters: Foleo | Forrest, Leon | Leo (Fire Emblem: Fates), Camilla (Fire Emblem), Marx | Xander Additional Tags: Corrin and Elise are here too, Forrest is Camilla and Leo’s Lovechild, Baby Forrest, Sibling Incest, Secret Relationship, Camilla has an unnamed husband, Implied/Referenced Cheating, Fluff, Leo being a really sweet dad actually Summary: Forrest is not Camilla’s husband’s child. She's always planned to tell him, and only wanted to wait until he was old enough to understand "don't repeat this around other people." Yet, he somehow seems to have figured it out on his own.

they both recognise the guilt and shame in each other’s eyes, and there’s this subtle, unspoken, shared experience between them. until corrin comes back from hoshido and reveals her true parentage. and suddenly xander is walking around the castle with his eyes the slightest bit brighter, the crease in his forehead the slightest bit softer, and his shoulders held the slightest bit lower. he’s still tense and stressed (he is xander, after all) but he looks relaxed, if only the slightest bit.

and leo sees this. and it wrecks him. he can hardly bring himself to look at xander, without being reminded of his situation. xander doesn’t even know if corrin does or will ever return his feelings, but it doesn’t matter—the guilt that he’s always harboured about them, while still present, has been partially lifted off his shoulders.

and where leo used to have an unspoken bond of solidarity, he’s now alone, carrying feelings he knows are wrong and will never be right. a part of him hates xander for this, even though it’s not irrational. and he hates corrin for revealing it, or finding out, or just for her parentage in general—it doesn’t matter why, exactly. not to mention how he already feels about xander showering corrin with attention and camilla smothering her with affection while both ignore him.

Considering how unstable their position likely is, I imagine it depends heavily on how much support they get from Hoshido. Probably Corrin would have to be the one to vouch for them.

I imagine that their people would be pretty iffy about either of them ruling actually. Considering the horrors they experienced under Garon’s rule, his two most notoriously ruthless children would both be terrifying prospects for the throne.

So because of this, I imagine they’d take it very slowly. They’d rule together at first as brother and sister—probably with Leo as king and Camilla in an influential supporting role. And as the people gradually begin to accept the rule of this duo, who are surprisingly wise and gentle when it comes to their own people, eventually they’d discuss the idea of bringing their relationship to light.

People wouldn’t love it, but their king needs a queen, and heirs. And clearly he and Camilla have shown that they rule well together. Introducing some other woman could upset the already delicate power balance—not to mention the political turmoil that the process of selecting a wife would cause. Surely the nobility would be the most upset, considering it’s their daughters who could have potentially become queen, but Leo marrying his sister actually ends up preventing excess conflict between the them. (Actually, this is part of why the Hapsburgs married each other so much! Much less drama if you just marry your cousin)

So I imagine it would be rocky at first. And people aren’t thrilled. But their lives are better under the rule of a brother married to his sister than they were under their father. So what’s there really to complain about?

The royal wedding is a massive affair, partially funded with the help of Corrin, and even the most sceptical find themselves enjoying the festivities. After everything that’s happened, their king usually wears a cold expression, with something broken in his eyes. But when he looks at Camilla, he smiles. His eyes shine. And people can see this. Isn’t it better if the king known for being ruthless is allowed to be happy?

Within a few years I think they find relative peace. There is hardly any dissent to their union. Their friends on the other side of the bottomless canyon probably still aren’t thrilled about the idea, but they hold their tongues for Corrin’s sake.
