I was actually influenced by another fic author to think of it that way! the circle of fanfiction lmaooo I was like that is a GREAT point actually, he definitely would have great reason to feel abandoned and angry even though he does still love them. it would be a huge thing to tackle!!! meaty

and the game just doesn't really give space to explore that in the happy ending so I like thinking about it in fic <3

omg ahhhh ty ; u; I love them and writing about them so much, they really know how to just REACH IN to a brain and take over, you know? I love hearing about people finding them recently still akjdflakfj

and yeah I feel like Chrom being upset about this would be so incredibly fair and understandable

YESSS I think about this constantly and wrote about it once, it's so good. I love complicating the return a little lol. Like yeah they're gonna get to be happy and they have been through enough...but they gotta process it 🥰 and work through things

I love doing that to intentionally break his little heart it's so good

also I have a hard time picturing him taking Robin to the final battle knowing she plans on sacrificing herself tbh and it makes sense to me that Robin would lie to avoid this argument. but also, delicious angst 👀

he's literally like "no point in permanently saving a world with no Robin in it so that's a non-starter" and he's so real for that
