I've never gotten prompts for FE but oh my god I always thought there was such a gentleness to all of Marianne and Lorenz's interactions! Honestly Marianne has always been my babygirl and Lorenz's interactions with her are one of the things that really warmed me up to his character because it's one of those weird intersections where one character's weirdness over-formality actually gives another equally-weird character a space that they feel they can safely act in. :)

67. Character in Peril

79. Anger born of Worry

In the midst of a battle with Edelgard's forces, Lorenz is unhorsed and injured and Marianne injures herself in rushing over to his rescue. Lorenz, who is not only aware he has issues with getting along with the rest of the team but also knows Marianne still has issues with seeing herself as a burden or a curse despite being a vital healer, ends up chewing her out for risking herself in a moment of high emotion. He only catches himself when he sees she's tearing up, and attempts a fumbling apology. But just like that, the battle is over, and she hurries away from him, muffling her crying into her arm. Lorenz knows he fucked up, but there's also this internal tension of knowing that Marianne doesn't value herself, but then he's also confronted with the frustration of the noble instinct of things never being about him, but also being the noble self-sacrificing type being that much easier than really trying to engage with people on an equal and thus vulnerable level. He makes a point of tracking down Marianne, profusely apologizing, and, in a weird stroke of 'okay what's going to knock us out of this funk' offering to train via sparring. "Perhaps if we focus on each other on competitors, we can build our strengths instead of fearing our weaknesses! I vow to respect you in every regard as a sparring partner!"

We start off with something soft for Day 1 for LoreMari Week 2020

Title: Love Game Or How Lorenz Learned How To Stop Being A Pretentious Dick And Pretend To Love Bad PLAP-PLAP-SPLURT Fanfiction Fandom: Fire Emblem Three Hopes Pairing: Lorenz Hellman Gloucester x Marianne von Edmund x Shahid Fire Emblem Word Count: 2398 Content Warnings: Inappropriate Jokes About Interspecies Erotica, Crackfic

Lorenz and Marianne have been dating for over a year. They seemed to be the perfect fandom couple in most people's eyes; they wrote fic together, they cosplayed together, they constantly lifted each other up and Lorenz saw himself marrying her one day. Things change when they meet Shahid, Claude's brother and consistent victim of bullying. Somehow, the three manage to hit it off. During a long post-con night of drinking, the topic of bad fanfiction is brought up. Lorenz makes the mistake of insulting both his partners' fanfiction in front of their local fandom group. He now has to pick up the pieces.
