Theory: They invented The Gun, drawing another parallel to modern-day weaponry ala Javelins of Light/nukes. More political commentary ensues with a side of gun control.

Runner-ups include One-Hit Knockout (as @theweirdbug.bsky.social cited) and How to Lose Your Ring in Six Easy Steps -- a #Felannie wedding which perfectly encapsulates my use of comedic escalation.

The wedding of Felix Hugo Fraldarius and Annette Fantine Dominic graces the royal capitol -- drawing crowds far and wide as their union promises a new age upon the realm of Faerghus. That is, until a freak ring exchange accident makes things go horribly, horribly wrong. Will Annette's wedding band ever see the light of day again?

FE3H absurdism was my patented bread and butter.

What else but my Simon Dominic multichap featuring anachronism, plot-relevant Aqua Teen Hunger Force references, hot Sylvain/Dedue action, and special guest Bruce Springsteen. #Felannie

archiveofourown.org/works/52915033/chapters/133850113
Legend of the Warbling Banshee: When a wayward stranger literally intrudes upon Felix's life, he's not sure what to think until he learns he's family -- Simon Frederick Dominic: Annette's long-lost cousin, former noble, traveling minstrel, and total deadbeat whose tactless mannerisms and absent filter instantly drive Felix insane. But when Lord Fraldarius uncovers Simon's dark secret, he realizes familial strife may be the least of his worries. Are Felix and Annette ready to unravel a conspiracy which may warp the very fabric of Fódlan itself?

Felix and Annette snuggle.

That's it; that's the fic. Singing may or may not be involved.

Annette needs to get up to teach her students; Felix has other ideas. Naturally, a battle of bedroom wills ensues.

I guess "Flayn chases kitten who stole her fish all over Garreg Mach" wasn't a compelling pitch, especially with no pairing to latch onto, but it's a shame as I thought my comedy really shone here.

Plus, an adorable kitten! So cute.

Naughty Kitten: For Flayn, the free days of Garreg Mach are but an ample opportunity to chow down on some scrumptious grilled fish skewers. However, a certain hungry creature aims to ruin her weekly routine. What ensues could upset the very fabric of Garreg Mach Monastery!

Back in 2022, @virgichuu.bsky.social and I did an exchange where we made art/fanfic for each other. Naturally, I took the opportunity to implement her adorable Felannie/Netteflix art into the actual story!

You can find one such example below.

Summary of my fic Love, Elusive: Capturing a woman's heart is no obstacle for Sylvain. Girls flocked to his handsome face and dominant Crest, and he knew every trick in the book to court them accordingly and seize their lips. Caring little for the messes he left behind, the Gautier heir was the very epitome of debauchery. But now, Faerghus's most infamous philanderer has finally met his match: Felix and Annette in love, going out, and being utterly *disgusting*. Can he handle the horrific shamelessness of Garreg Mach's cutest couple?!? Sylvain liked to think he’d perfected the art of courting women. Talk up any attractive woman in the vicinity, flash a handsome smile, invite them for a night on the town, steal a kiss or two, and then move on to the next girl waiting in line. Such was the life of a crest-bearer – hordes of screeching, prissy nobles lining up to bolster their family name and run-of-the-mill lasses looking to elevate themselves within the echelons of Fódlan society. He couldn’t escape it, so why fight it? He knew how to worm his way into a girl’s heart, memorized all the tricks to capture their lips -- tactics that left Ingrid fuming and cleaning up his messes while Dimitri stuttered and went red-faced with embarrassment. All in all, Sylvain was well-versed in the likes of scandalous debauchery. But this? The scene unfolding in the corner of their outdoor training session? Disgusting. Shameless. Absolutely revolting. “Felix, will you get serious? We have to focus on my rally spell!” yelled Annette. “I don’t know,” said Felix with a nonchalant shrug, “I think our rally spell will do the trick.” “Nope. No way. Not happening. Now you will get into position before the Professor gives us a failing grade?” “Oh, but didn’t you hear?” said Felix as he turned to Annette with a sly grin. “I happened to give our Professor advance notice that we were changing tactics.” Annette grimaced. “You’re horrible.” Felix tapped his cheek in anticipation. “I’m waiting.” Annette, mortified and beet-red from embarrassment, quaked with the sinking knowledge that she wouldn’t win this battle. Were it not for second-hand embarrassment, Sylvain might’ve pitied her. Resigning herself, Annette regained her composure with a hardened breath before stepping forward and, bracing herself on one of Felix’s arms, leaned up to kiss him on the cheek. (Illustration of Annette kissing Felix's cheek follows. Said art mimics the "raise affection" effect found in Three Houses.

#fe3htimeskip I suppose while I'm in the area, I'll take a page from @memofish.bsky.social's book and share my own take on the fascinating toxicity that is Metodey/Flayn.

Yes, really. Naturally, an absurdist pairing deserved an absurdist attempt. Is this even possible to write seriously?
Metodey always laughed. Metodey always stole. Metodey always killed. Day after day, Metodey lived for nothing but indulgence, basking in cruelty as he pilfered his men’s pay, kicked aside street urchins, or sunk his knife into the flesh of whatever poor sap earned his ire that day. All punctuated with that infernal giggle: a staple of the Adrestrian nightlife, echoing in taverns as he stretched out his legs and imbibed pint after pint, alcohol having long since eroded whatever little conscience he’d thrown away -- all for the sake of power. Such a rewarding vice – power -- yet one immediately forgotten in the warm embrace of touch. It was the most magnificent sensation Metodey had ever felt -- surely such softness should be forbidden to one so wicked, yet here he was, marveling at how his fingers dug into a different sort of indulgence. Each press divined a promise he delicately carved to memory: the empathy he’d never had, the compassion he never deemed worthwhile, the adoration he’d never deigned himself to feel. All this and more, chipping away at his coal-black heart until it finally pumped free from its crusty shell, beating with precious, overflowing love. It was enough to bring Metodey to tears. "Why," choked Metodey as his hands finished weaving Flayn's Play-Doh cheeks into veritable pretzel braids, "why would you bestow such divine revelation unto me, the most minor of bit characters?" "Do you need a reason to be happy?” whispered Flayn, dainty fingers interlinking with his reverent digits, “at any rate, I never said you could stop.” Metodey smiled through his tears, diligently beginning work on his next piece. “You are too cruel, my dear Flayn. Far, far too cruel.”

Just popping in to share last year's five-chapter Colloyd fic for #ColloydDay2025 -- The Penguinist Problem, wherein a dressing snafu makes Lloyd and Colette's wedding go horribly, horribly wrong. Countless #TalesofSymphonia in-jokes ensue. @powblade.bsky.social

Behold -- an absurdist prompt fulfilled for
@memofish.bsky.social, featuring the most cracky of #FE3H crackpairs in Metodey/Flayn. Look upon it, and know it, for our budding church is seeking more members to join its flock. #yesreally

This one got a bit long, so you can enjoy the zaniness in pic form.
Marianne sighed wistfully, daydreaming of the absent archbishop amidst the cool air of the Garreg Mach stables. She nestled into the crest of Dorte’s mane, cooing gentle prayers into the warm, familiar scent of hay and grass. "Oh, Dorte," whispered Marianne, absentmindedly running her fingers down the horse's silky mane, "I miss him so much." "I know," replied Dorte as he wrapped a hoof around her person, "I've heard your pleas to the Goddess." "D-Dorte!” shrieked Marianne, stumbling from the shock. “How-" Tears of joy spilled from her eyes as Dorte stood up, unzipping his horse costume to reveal a familiar crop of pale-green hair. "I came to answer your prayers."

New doujin haul: a Felannie comic/fanfic anthology, a super-meaty Ferdithea (really, it's long!), a pair of Robin/Lissa, and...wait...is that...yes, that is indeed Byleth/Gatekeeper!

Never underestimate the creative energy of doujinshi. Alt text for more details. #FireEmblem #FEAwakening #FE3H
A Felannie manga/fanfic anthology. Over a hundred pages, easily. If you're familiar with the Japanese fanart community, there's no shortage of familiar names here. A Ferdithea doujin dubbed "Canon." Ya darn tootin'. Seriously, it's looooooooong. But very good. Two Robin/Lissa doujins. I suppose that'd be "Reflet/Liz" over there. One came with a card illustration. Seems to be a custom, coming off my Mercedue collection. The forbidden love of Byleth/Gatekeeper -- it's given an English name of "I want to be with [the] gatekeeper", but a direct translation would be "I Want to S-Support The Gatekeeper". It takes place during Verdant Wind. The gang's reaction to their marriage is a hoot.

New doujinshi haul: a smorgasbord of second-hand Felannie, a pair of Edeleth, summer Heroes-themed Sylvgrid, child Dorothea, and hot-off-the-presses Agnekari. Some more details available via alt text! #FEThreeHouses #ThreeHouses #OctopathTravelerII #OctopathTraveler
A boatload of Felannie doujins, courtesy of the venerable Udon and INT. The storyline range from everything to pre-timeskip misunderstandings to Verdant Wind teacher ending to even a Pokemon Sleep-themed Modern AU! By the way, the INT doujins aren't so much comics as they are art/fanfic collections -- I'm afraid the latter's above my current level to decipher, ahaha. One day. A pair of Edeleth doujins. The left one's called something like "For The Sake of Your Cuteness" or "Your Cuteness is For Me" -- I'm still trying to figure out which...Japanese is hard! A Heroes-themed Sylvgrid and a young Dorothea doujin called "The Back Alley Etolle". The latter's done a ton of Dorothea/Caspar stuff, although that's not present here. At any rate, it's a haunting cover! Oh, and they were bought new. Agnekari doujin from Octopath Traveker II. Also bought new! It's an anthology of fluff from throughout the game and beyond. Probably my favorite of the bunch.

Re: Mercedue: Check out that holographic shine! I've come across similar covers amidst my browsing and wondered what was up with that, but now I totally get it. Dat dreamy romance.
A Three Hopes-Mercedue doujin ("Orinasumonotachi", or "Those Woven Together"), where Dedue holds Mercedes's healing hands in wonder. The covers holographic, its' rainbow colors radiating a dreamy hue.

Check it out -- I've begun collecting FE:TH doujinshi! I want to say I'm indulging in them for Japanese studies (and I am!), but really, I'm mostly fawning over the pretty art.

More to come soon!

#Felannie #Netteflix #Felibern #Lysithea #WhatsherpairingnamewithFelixanyway
Felannie, Felibern and Felix/Lysithea doujins. Felannie doujinshi "You are my light", coming included with a bookmark and some art.
