Hm ... once upon a time, I was a Fire Emblem shelf shipper, so! Tell me more about you and Inigo! How did you guys meet?
OH MY GOSH. You mean the one with the actual canon divergent storyline?
Can any fire emblem fans who were around before ao3 was a well known thing remember those self insert fics where it was like. The self insert was surprised at differences in the shepherds. They had to train. Canon divergences and Big Issues and actual mission planning that could go wrong and world building and shit like that
Or was it just two big fics. Whatever. That inspired me and my ideas about how my fire emblem self insert's story went
That is to say... she (self insert pronouns) met inigo while out in a town her mercenary band, the Moths, recently protected from some Risen. She took advantage of her knowledge of how Inigo was at first to get free food, and then decided to recruit him, because at that point one of the other future kids was already recruited by the Moths, what's another one?
This leads into a guilty spiral when she actually falls in love with him as a person, as a whole, oopsie! It's a whole arc I've got some vague plans about. They grow and they forgive and it's good!!
