    Summary

    It is the early 1980s, and in the small country town of Garreg Mach, Edelgard von Hresvelg has recently graduated high school. Bored to death working at her father's small woodworks store, the light of her life rests inside Byleth; a woman she has adored for many years. On the night of a party thrown by Mercedes, Edelgard decides two things; the first? She's going to tell Byleth she loves her. The second? She's going to follow up a lead on something kind of weird she saw outside her father's store today.

    But when weird turns into sinister, Edelgard finds that she could never have prepared for the truth behind her small town's sleepy facade.

    Summary

    She hadn’t changed much in five years. 

    That was the most shocking thing about it, to Edelgard. 

    In five years, Edelgard herself had grown a scant few inches, grown out her hair, and had effectively waged war against the rest of Fodlan. She’d grown stronger, smarter, harder. 

    But her teacher, Byleth?

    She’d walked up into the Goddess Tower as if she’d simply decided to take in the view after class, with all the nonchalance that Edelgard remembered and then some.

    Summary

    Byleth von Eisner is known throughout Fodlan as the best tutor for the rich and the elite, and her reputation has grown enough that she's been offered the chance to instruct the reclusive and sickly Imperial Princess, Edelgard von Hresvelg.

    How will she get along with the mysterious Princess? What ailment has kept her from the public eye for all these years? And is Byleth ready to engage the strange and duplicitous nature of the Adrestian Court?

    When Jane Austen wrote Emma, she described it as a book about “a heroine whom no one but myself will much like," and if that bit of trivia interests you, then this is the fic for you!

    An alternate setting Edeleth AU for Fire Emblem: Three Houses, set in a Romantic Period Fodlan based loosely on the style and aesthetic of Jane Austen.

    Summary

    The morning after her and Byleth's wedding, Emperor Edelgard von Hresvelg wakes up in her old bedroom in Garreg Mach to discover that she has brown hair, only one Crest, ten happy and healthy brothers and sisters, and a bad habit of sleeping through her professor's lectures. Hubert is unusually cheerful, Byleth teaches the Blue Lions, and nobody has heard of the Flame Emperor. Instead, a figure known as the Hurricane King and his sinister cohort the Death Knight stalk the monastery.

    No sooner has Edelgard sought out this new world's Byleth than she finds herself standing in the eye of a storm of continent-spanning conspiracies centered on a young man with snow-white hair — one that will engulf Garreg Mach, the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, the Adrestian Empire, and Edelgard's own family as it carries the roaring winds of war across Fodlan. A threat from a past so ancient it predates even Fodlan's oldest and murkiest myths is stirring, threatening to tear time itself asunder — and it may be her only way back home.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I hardly feel this work needs any other words said about it, but if ever anyone I encounter doubts the validity of fanfiction as an art form, I can think of no better rebuttal than this masterpiece.
