#mariashe

Marianne crying on Ashe she slightly grips on his clothes they give each other a comfort bear hug, Ashe slightly torn up clothes and blood.

You can find all of these and more on my Art Portfolio, which I've also updated with buttons today for easier navigation <3

Mariashe should be way more popular than it is and I stand by that (Visual appeal AND cute relationship!?!?)

i did not watch it BUT i did start watching it thanks to this ask 👀 and from the first three episodes i can say..... YES THAT'S MARIASHE!!! i love my babies 🥺

this anime seems really cute and funny so far, so i think i'll keep watching it! thanks for the rec :']

also yes, mariashe should be much more popular. when he sees her smile in their C support and goes "woah that's so cute.... must protecc her" made me fall super hard for the ship. i love marianne a lot and her supports with the lions are fantastic!!! and the way in the end ashe tells her "i'll help you find your dream" and marianne goes "yes let's do it together" !!!!!!! (i just realized they also have a lot of dimileth AND komi/tadano -from komi can't communicate- vibes omg. i really do have a type)

SO sorry for the insanely long wait, i am trying to actually catch up with all the requests this year lmao. hope the headcanons make up for it!

Ashe and Marianne is a ship I hadn't considered until I saw their supports for myself. He calls her cute in their freaking C support!! Anyways. Marianne tries to avoid him after both their C and B supports, so most of these are gonna be post-timeskip or have fairly ambiguous timing.

They're both very sweet and caring people but Ashe is a bit more vocal than Marianne, which means that a lot of their conversations are Ashe talking and Marianne listening. This isn't something that bothers Marianne - she likes hearing Ashe speak. She likes hearing about anything he's passionate about and watching his face light up as he gets an opportunity to ramble.

Made with This Picrew.

(here’s hoping you had/have a lovely day as well, anon! this was a great combo. turned out a little longer than I wanted but there wasn’t much I could leave out)

9. “War’s End” kiss  46. Long kiss 56. Caught off-guard kiss

The whole of Garreg Mach was bursting with celebration. Soldier and monk alike toasted to peace in the dining hall. Some of the Golden Deer, original and recruited, had taken over the old classrooms and were sitting on desks to eat, chatting and drinking and occasionally comforting one another.

Ashe walked past the classrooms, head lowered and eyes on his boots. He was happy. Really, he was. The war was done and he could go home to his siblings at long last. 

But... then what? 

“Nice night.”

Ashe gave a yelp and stumbled back. “Oh! Goddess, you really surprised me!”

Before him stood Marianne. She didn’t seem offended in the slightest, though he had almost walked right into her. “A good friend once told me to walk with my head held high.” she said with the smallest of smiles. “Are you alright? It’s not like you to be by yourself.”

“I’m fine.”

Marianne tilted her head as if listening for something. Then her smile fell. “If you don’t want to talk, that’s alright. But I can tell something is wrong.”

Ashe felt his shoulders droop. “You can, huh?”

“Yes. B-But you don’t have to tell me. I can leave you be.”

“No! I-- Well, it might help to talk about it. If you can spare a moment?”

“I offered, didn’t I?” Marianne clasped her hands in front of her, waiting patently. 

Her eyes seemed to catch the stars as she watched him. Ashe regretted walking with his head down now-- he might have been able to see it sooner. Forcing himself to look at those stars, Ashe said, “I want to be a knight. It’s always been my dream. But I don’t... I don’t want to do it alone. I love my siblings but they depend on me for so much. It would be nice to have someone I could depend on from time to time, you know?” It sounded almost childish out loud. “I want people to lean on. After being with this army, being this close to everyone-- I don’t want to lose that again.”

Ashe let out a sigh when he was done, closing his eyes briefly as if that would shield him from what Marianne was no doubt about to say. What anyone would say: that he was being silly. Knights had to be strong at all times. If Ashe was to be one, he couldn’t rely on anyone else.

“So,” Marianne began slowly, “you want to change your dream?”

“Huh?” Ashe opened his eyes. Marianne didn’t look like she was judging him. He suddenly felt foolish for thinking she could ever say something so mean spirited. “I guess so? I still want to be a knight, I just--”

“You want to do it with someone. Someone who can to support you.”

“And I would support them too!” Ashe assured. “We could lean on each other! It would be pretty selfish to just ask for support and never give it, right?”

Marianne smiled that small smile again. “I assumed that would be the case. It doesn’t sound like that type of person should be hard to find. Someone you can rely on, who would rely on you in turn.” 

“Exactly. Someone I feel comfortable talking to and who knows they can come to me with problems too.” Ashe suddenly smiled. “Heh, kinda like right now! Talking to you always makes me feel better. I can only hope I’ve helped you just as much!” 

Marianne shifted in place, suddenly looking away. “Um, yes. You have helped me a lot, Ashe.”

“I’m glad to hear it! I’m sorry if I brought the mood down. We’re supposed to be celebrating the end of a war, after all.”

“It’s okay.” Still not looking up, Marianne reached out and took his hand. “I... like listening to you. I love talking to you.”

Perplexed, blushing, Ashe griped her hand back. “T-Thank you. I love talking to you too...”

A bang made them both jump. From the classroom courtyard they heard Lorenz loudly berating Raphael for rough housing. The laughter from the rest of the Golden Deer rang through Garreg Mach like a victory bell. 

Chuckling, Ashe looked to Marianne and was about to comment-- when she kissed him.

Ashe shut his eyes and kissed back without hesitation. It felt like all the pieces were falling in place. Like something had clicked in his head. His dream, his ideal future, suddenly seemed vibrant. The dread of leaving this army was replaced with a prismatic vision of Marianne.

They kissed for a long time. Long enough that the Golden Deer’s laughter faded, long enough that Lorenz stopped lecturing Raphael, long enough that they graduated from clumsy kisses to slow explorations of each other’s mouths. 

At some point, Marianne released Ashe and put her hands on his chest, pressing herself closer and angling her head up. Ashe held her loosely around the waist, not wanting to make her feel trapped. Wanted her to know she could break away at any time.

But she didn’t. She kissed back just as urgently. As if the war was going to come back and tear them apart. Ashe resolved, right then and there, to never let it.

At long last, they pulled back from one another, panting slightly, and Ashe could still see the stars in her eyes still. Her cheeks were flush and she offered a shaky smile. 

Ashe couldn’t wait to tell her about his new dream.
