I don't play FEH but I think Canas only has the one version!
Canas from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. He's tripping with some books in his hands.

learning to draw is like this
a screenshot of clip paint studio and a canvas with a thumbnail of Bernadettea von Varley on it. There's a note pointing to her saying "Her hair is gonna piss me off I know it"

Yuri Leclerc had some fun (citation needed) in my #FodlanFrights2025 fic. I hope others enjoy it too!

Read it here: archiveofourown.org/works/727713...
Blighted Legacy by EtherealWill Summary: Yuri made the lonely trek up the long road leading into the Varley estate on a young silver-coated mare, carrying only a few personal effects. He squinted into the haze with some concern; it shouldn't be this foggy in the afternoon. The grounds had changed quite a bit over the years: instead of the lush sea of reds and burnt orange he expected to see near the end of the Wyvern Moon, the trees surrounding him appeared half dead, rotting from the inside, branches twisting as if they were under duress. There were no cardinals singing or raccoons foraging. Instead, an oppressive silence wrapped its tendrils around everything, threatening to strangle anything in sight. Yuri felt a chill run through him, though whether from the odious atmosphere or the chilly, whispery breeze that somehow cut through his cape, he couldn't say. Yuri suspected with an ache felt deep within his bones that Rhea's intuition was correct: something was wrong here.

16. I use Ellipsus! I think I use it a little differently than how they've built it lmao, especially for more complex fics like one I'm writing that has two POVs across two timelines + ephemera
Drafts in an ellipsus document, titled: chapter, additional scenes, in order, primary docs, name switches, and outline

I'll share a fun comment I think about a lot though. The pfp/comment combo is so funny but even funnier is it makes perfect sense in context. 😂
An AO3 comment with identifying info stripped. The avatar is male Byleth looking surprised, and the comment reads, "Yeaaaah!!! Yeaaaah!! NO!!! YEah!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!"

4. I do, if I like it! I actually have a whole fic I cannibalize from time to time. I liked parts of it but as a whole it just wasn't working for me. Sharing a Netteflix snippet I was fond of — I'll use this somewhere someday. (It's not graphic but it is suggestive/flirty.)
Annette invites him to dinner and he accepts. He pretends not to notice Sylvain and his date at a nearby table, even after Annette points them out and waves, instead choosing to direct her toward their own seats. "Do you really think he's here somewhere?" Annette asks after they've ordered. "Don't know," Felix answers quietly. "The rumors suggest he could be, but it's hard to say. He's out there though, I'm sure of it." Annette smiles softly, but for once she spares Felix the thought that is almost certainly coursing through her mind, some nonsense about true friendship. "And how is working with Sylvain?" "Fine." She huffs a small laugh at this and bites her lower lip. "You two have always been so close," she says, and the words feel heavy with meaning. Felix dodges the bait. "We grew up together." Annette hums and changes the subject. They talk throughout dinner, about food and songs and memories of the Academy. Annette deftly avoids anything to do with Dimitri or Sylvain, which frankly impresses Felix, given how stupidly they both are embedded into his very being. While the smiles Annette pulls out of Felix are sincere, he knows he's exaggerating them in case he has an audience. It's stupid to think he does, but he can't help taking advantage of the opportunity to show just how fine he is. "Is it okay if I order dessert?" Annette asks, then orders the raspberry mousse when Felix nods. He passes on ordering anything for himself. She smiles when it arrives, placing her hand on Felix's. He glances down at the gesture, then watches as she lifts his hand, dipping his finger into the dessert. She gets a perfect sampling of the chocolate mousse, raspberry purée, and whipped cream and slides his finger suggestively into her mouth, tightly wrapping her lips around it. Felix feels his cheeks heat up. "Annette," he whispers as a warning, swallowing when he feels her tongue swipe against the tip of his finger. He barely registers the clattering of silverware a few tables away. "I-I'm not looking for anything serious right now—" Neither am I," she responds as she removes his finger, her voice sultry and inviting. "You just seem a bit lonely is all, and I could use some company." She slowly picks up her spoon and gets another sample, this time offering it across the table. "You really should try this." Felix realizes what she's doing when she quickly glances in Sylvain's direction. He leans forward and allows her to place the spoon inside his mouth. He is surprised by how good it is. It must register on his face, because Annette giggles. "You don't like things that are too sweet, right?" Annette asks. "I remember." She deftly removes the spoon, dipping it into the mousse and making a small show of licking it clean. "Dark chocolate is more your style. It's a bit bitter." Felix swallows, his gaze fixed on Annette's lips. "Where are we going after this?" he asks finally. "My place. But I have to warn you, Felix, I like to savor what I have while I have it. So we might be here for a while."

I have nothing for #AsheWeekFE3H but I do have two post-game fics: an exchange for someone who left the discord and had DMs and AO3 gifts off, and a failed start to that same exchange.

The Orphanage Job: archiveofourown.org/works/62863771
Protecting the Future: archiveofourown.org/works/60989917
The Orphanage Job EtherealWill Summary: "Who steals from an orphanage?" Dorothea asked angrily. "Ingrid—" "I know," Ingrid responded. Of course Ingrid would understand; Dorothea had told her extensively about her own childhood, and Ingrid had had her own struggles growing up. "We should look into it. I can't do so personally, unfortunately. I have to get to Fhirdiad—" "I'll help," Dorothea interjected. She waved a hand as Ingrid opened her mouth to object. "No, it's fine. I can see the capital some other time. This is important." Ingrid nodded quietly, and Dorothea couldn't help but be touched by the disappointment on her face. They had planned this trip for a while, and Dorothea suspected Ingrid might have an important question for her. It could wait, though; these children needed help. Ashe smiled, though it was tentative. "Thanks, Thea, though we don't have any leads." Dorothea beamed. "Oh don't you worry about that, my dear Ashe. You and I know just the guy." Protecting the Future EtherealWill Summary: Dorothea and Ashe are on a mission to Arianrhod to secure additional supplies when they overhear a plan that neither of them can ignore.

For the last day of #SylvixWeek2025 I offer this image @stergeon.bsky.social sent me that I've been laughing about for like two days

Ax isn't on here so I'm going to yell for everyone to go read his #SylvixWeek2025 fic which has some of my favorite Sylvix tropes!!!

archiveofourown.org/chapters/187...
Cat and Mouse Chronomantique (Lea) Summary: "Try asking if he wants to sleep with you." Felix's expression shifted to a starker one that usually indicated he was actively experiencing pain. "Would that work on you?" And Sylvain nearly lost his balance. "On me?" - In which Felix asks for advice that truly only Sylvain can give him (and gets it). (For the "secrets" prompt.)

You can blame @ronsenburg.bsky.social for this existing. Posted a little early for Day 5 of #SylvixWeek2025 because I had it in drafts and went to make a last minute edit and accidentally hit post. archiveofourown.org/works/71594626
Assignation by EtherealWill Summary: Felix indulges once during the war. Claude decides to have a laugh about it later. Notes: For Day 5 of Sylvix Week 2025; prompt is secrets. Blame ronsenburg for this - it started as a joke that got out of control.

The best part of this month-late email is it doesn't even reference what I called him about

You can see @stergeon.bsky.social's workskin in its original habitat in this awesome fic, Target Fixation

archiveofourown.org/works/60415525
Target Fixation KingLoach Summary: “Tonight,” Edelgard says. Byleth stops flicking her lighter. One of her eyebrows is arched. She’s shocked. “Tonight?” “Tonight,” Edelgard affirms. “I want them both.” The lighter clicks again, and this time, it catches. “Tonight,” Byleth repeats, blowing out a puff of smoke. Then she turns her head toward Edelgard, and the look on her face is glorious. Her pink mouth is pulled into a smirk, her big blue eyes sparkling with mischief, calm and affable but undeniably hungry. “Okay.” She’s quiet for a moment, her blue brow briefly tensing. “We’ll have to change the sheets.” It's been ages since Edelgard's been able to let her hair down, and she was sure a night of clubbing and grinding on her stupid hot girlfriend would fix her. But this "little pregaming sesh" at Dimitri and Felix's apartment has turned into a full-on party, and Edelgard's hopes for a fun night out are high-siding toward disaster. Making matters worse, Dorothea’s being unbelievably extra, Petra's oddly evasive, and Byleth’s been even more smug than usual. Either Edelgard's going to kill these women, or they'll be the death of her. Or, Edelgard tries not to have a foursome.

Obligatory pitch for my ongoing longfic where Sylvix have a bad end in the original timeline and a chance to not screw things up in the modern era, except there are some complications #FE3Htimeskip

archiveofourown.org/works/63725905
Ouroboros EtherealWill Summary: Sylvain is a third year history PhD student struggling to find direction. Felix is a data analyst trying to break free from family expectations. Strange dreams begin to plague them, but in order to understand what's happening, they will need to break the cycles they've trapped themselves in.
