We can reveal our @fe3hfemslashex (2024) fics! I wrote Edelshez/Shezgard (Edelgard/Shez) for @/CmdrKing on Twitter.

Edelgard Rarepair Week, Day 1: Loyalty

Edelgard/F!Shez

All you got to do is rock up into the emperor’s tent and ask her out on a picnic—Goddess, that makes it sound romantic; it’s gotta be platonic sounding! Remember you rehearsed this with Arval. Asking out—not in that way, damn it!—Edelgard for a picnic outing is simple. You’ve had tea together a couple of times, you always spar together, you have been her bodyguard for the past two years—surely inviting her for tea is child’s play!

I just think they would be adorable together: austere emperor and bubbly himbo (F!Shez screams more himbo energy than M!Shez and she seems more authentic to me) that have more in common than they realise.

Spoilers for Scarlet Blaze!

They don’t fall for each other until Edelgard starts to trust Shez.

But Shez may have been crushing on her prior. She’s pretty and full of conviction and can kick her ass--

Arval is unsure what to make of it, but will always scold Shez for being stupid around Edelgard.

Shez: ‘Hey Edelgard--you’re so emperor-y ;)!”

Arval: ‘Why am I stuck with you...?’

If Edelgard needs to relax she can rest the back of her head upon Shez’s breasts. They are akin to the softest pillow. 

Shez loves taking Edelgard on picnics so to loosen her up and totally not be enamoured by her genuine smiles.

Shez had accidentally pulled Edelgard too hard and they have rolled down a hill with Edelgard laughing joyously.

Shez is starstruck.

And being a genius she tickles her to hear more of those melodious laughs.

Totally worth it.

They talk about their mothers and how it feels not having one in their life anymore.

They also talk about the fear of losing those they care for because they have lost those dearest to them.

Shez has tried writing love letters only to flush and scream. When she alerts others she eats the letter. 

Edelgard’s flirts fly over Shez’s head.

Edelgard: ‘Your eyes are like dawn captured in them.’

Shez: ‘Oh thanks :). Your eyes look like lilacs :). I like lilacs :).’

Edelgard greatly appreciates Shez’s honesty and bluntness. Likewise Shez appreciates Edelgard’s frankness too.

They always check upon each other after a battle and sometimes get a bit too close or personal with their touches.
