Hello people of the internets.

After finishing Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation for the umpteenth time, I began lurking around the support logs, checking for conversations I missed or weren't able to obtain due to my unit roster and pairings. But the more I lurked, the more I starting thinking, 'why are only two of the characters in this game available for homosexual romance'? Strange thought, I know but hear me out.

In the Revelation path, the story centers entirely around Corrin and Azura; so much that the game almost forcefully pushes the pairing onto the player. So by chance, I found a series of videos for a hack of Awakening and Fates called 'Gay Awakening' and 'Gay Fates' respectively. The purpose of the hack was to allow for same-sex marriages by altering or rewriting support conversations and even create ones that previously did not exist to add a level of immersion.

And thus, I wanted to try something; a rewrite of the Revelation story with a Female Corrin x Azura romance. In order to ensure the existence of the child characters… yeah, I won't lie. I'm gonna be using some asspulls for this. But it's the best I can do.

Also, this story contains unbelievable spoilers for the Revelation path of the game; in fact, it pretty much spoils everything. You've been warned. Furthermore, this story will begin just after the end of the Chapter 5 but before Chapter 6. The protagonist's name is Corrina; deal with it.

Lastly, I do not own Fire Emblem. It's the copyright of Intelligent Systems.

Chapter 1: The Path is Yours

Mother.

That was the only word that filled the blind rage Corrina was experiencing. The screams of the people scarce reached her; all she could think was 'make them pay.' One by one, the mysterious attackers fell to her draconic might whether it came from her horns, tail or sheer overwhelming presence.

And yet the only thing Azura could do was watch.

Is this her true power?

Dragon blood ran in Corrina's veins; that much was true. But to see someone transform into an actual dragon … it was as if a page of history was playing out before her very eyes.

With a savage and bestial roar, Corrina struck down the last of the assassins before proceeding to let forth a cry of what sounded to be triumph. But the town market… it was no difficulty in seeing the rage that continued to emanate from the feral dragon. Azura knew what she had to do.

Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward. Everyone stopped and looked at her.

"Azura, no! I-it's too dangerous!" Sakura pleaded with her sister, only for the songstress to turn and simply flash a smile; as if to say 'everything will be all right.'

Walking closer to the beast, Azura gulped. Corrina looked at her with wonder and curiosity before roaring. She reared back, preparing to lunge.

"You are the ocean's grey waves…"

Corrina stopped her attack inches away from Azura. The others were, to put it simply, dumbstruck. Corrina began to shake as the maiden continued to sing, who was now extending her delicate arm to touch the side of the dragon's face.

"Destined to seek… life beyond… the shore… just out of reach…"

Azura began to sweat; singing was one thing, but it was another issue entirely to put such power within her words.

Even so, I will not abandon her.

"Yet the waters… ever change… flowing like time. The path is… yours to climb…"

Panting as she finished her song, the only thing Azura could do was pray for it to work. And as the princess' form dissipated and evaporated beneath her touch, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Corrina… are you okay?"

No response. Azura called out again, this time shaking the young Nohr-Hoshidan scion.

"Corrina, are you alright? Corrina!"

All she got in response was uncontrollable sobbing. It was not for long though; as the tears began to slow down, Corrina looked up, wiping her eyes on the back of her hand.

"Gods… I… I remember… I remember everything…"


Twelve years earlier…

"Fire."

A shower of arrows penetrated the air, falling upon the Hoshidan King en masse. Though his armor was strong, the sheer number was more than enough to puncture and penetrate the layers that protected the man. Sumeragi screamed in agony before falling to his knees. He knew he was dead; but if he could just protect his daughter…

"I'm disappointed in you, Sumeragi. That wasn't even my best trap."

Violently coughing, the king of Hoshido struggled to turn and face the small girl who lay upon behind him. "R-run… please… I'm sorry… my daughter…!"

He gasped in pain and fell forward as Garon's axe was pulled from his back. All the child could do was watch in confusion as her eyes met those of the Nohrian King.

"Ah… an orphaned child." He walked closer to the girl, kneeling before her. "Do not worry, young girl… I shall be your father now…"

Her vision faded to black as he reached for her.


Present day

Azura continued to kneel at Corrina's side, stroking the girl's hair and holding her hand in an effort to provide comfort. After what seemed like an eternity, Corrina spoke.

"I… I remember it all. How Garon kidnapped me… how my father… Oh gods… why…?" She stopped upon feeling a pair of slender arms wrap themselves around her shoulders. Azura was hugging her.

"It is fine, Corrina. You are fine." Corrina took a breath and looked into the maiden's golden eyes. "Azura, I… what happened…?"

It was Ryoma who answered. "That is the power of our dragon blood, Corrina. Nohr has the power of the Dusk Dragon. Hoshido has the Dawn Dragon." He smiled, as if impressed. "But you… Corrina, you can actually transform into a dragon!

Her expression instantly darkened. "I… turned into a dragon…? Oh gods, the city!" Standing to her feet, she looked around… and recoiled in horror.

The entire plaza was destroyed; stands were reduced to wreckage, rubble and debris lined the entirety of the square… there wasn't even a soul in sight.

"Gods… what have I done…? The entire plaza… it's… just earlier, there were children… people…!" Once more, Azura delicately placed her hand upon Corrina's shoulder to calm her down. For a moment, the raven-haired noble felt at peace, though it was not Azura's touch comforting her… It was something else...

Ryoma interrupted her monologuing, who also placed his hand upon her shoulder.

"It is not your fault, Corrina. You had no control over yourself. This is the work of the Nohrians." She looked up, shocked at what he said. "This is what they do." Ryoma closed his eyes momentarily. "Let me guess… that sword, was it a gift from King Garon?"

Corrina nodded, her head bowed to the ground in shamed. Ryoma shook his head, scowling. "He masterminded the whole thing, Corrina. It is not your fault. He knew you would be captured and brought before the queen…"

"Even so… why? Why would he do this…?" She said while wiping her eyes with her cape. "I'm… I'm so sorry… I should have seen this coming…!"

THWACK

Gasps filled the air and Corrina felt intense pain across her cheek. When she regained her composure and looked up, Takumi was glaring at her with intense hatred.

Her brother just punched her in the face.

Takumi gritted his teeth and hoisted Corrina by the collar of her cravat.

"Your apology means NOTHING!" He shouted. Corrina stared, mouth agape. "W-what?"

"Shut up!" He said, pulling her ever closer. At this point, Corrina saw Hinoka and Kaze drawing their weapons in the likely event push went to shove.

Unfortunately, Takumi saw this all too easily.

"This is all your fault! Mother is dead, along with countless others…!" His grip moved up to her throat and he began to squeeze; Corrina now saw tears welling in his eyes and began to struggle against her brother's rage-fueled grip.

"If you hadn't shown up at our doorstep, none of this would have happened! You… you don't belong here!"

Suddenly, his grip was released and Corrina fell backwards onto the ground, coughing from the sudden intake of air after her near-choking.

"Get out of my way, Ryoma! She has to pay for this!"

"I will not, Takumi!"

Azura ran to Corrina to assist her in standing while Ryoma held Takumi at bay. Azura spoke up. "Takumi, your words do not change anything. And besides-"

With a grunt, Takumi shoved Ryoma away and pointed at Azura. "Shut up! You are no different than Corrina! A damned interloper!" Azura bit her lip, choosing to remain silent rather than further add fuel to the flame. Corrina stood up and slowly walked towards the prince, reaching out with her left hand. "T-Takumi…"

"Don't you dare speak my name." His words dripped with venom and spite. "I never want to see your face again, nor do I want to listen to anymore of your idiotic excuses. Are we to really believe that you had no idea this would happen?"

Corrina retreated, averting his gaze thus granting the Hoshidan prince a feeling of pride. It quickly vanished when Hinoka's palm went across his face however.

"What the hell are you saying, Takumi?! Unless you were blind, Corrina just helped us defeat those Nohrian scumbags! So why don't you back off?"

Takumi rubbed his cheek, glared at Corrina accusingly and turned on his heel.

"Hmph. You're blinded by this traitor's lies, Sister. I know that I am right."

Azura walked next to Corrina, once more waking emotions foreign to the princess. "Takumi, please. Hate me all you want if you must, but Corrina is your sister. I am an outsider, but this is your own blood."

He shook his head in disgust. "She is not my sister." Standing up, Corrina sighed and bowed her head in shame.

"I… it's fine. Everything would have been fine if I had never shown up… Perhaps it's best that I leave after all."

"But-" Hinoka was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Yukimura.

"Lord Takumi… I hate to be the deliverer of this news, but I must inform you; Corrina is innocent."

Takumi snapped his gaze to the tactician, eyes wide. "Are you serious Yukimura? You believe her?"

He nodded. "Yes… because Queen Mikoto foresaw her own death. She knew that she would die today."

Silence enveloped the area as he continued to speak. "Queen Mikoto always had prophetic powers… and she saw her own demise in a dream. She was aware of the events that just took place here."

Nobody said a word as each took in the information Yukimura had revealed. The silence was broken, however, by an abrupt quake that shook the city square. The fountain in the middle began to crumble away, piece by piece until it revealed a golden sword embedded in the rock.

Corrina blinked, as if entranced by the blade. "What… what is that?"

Yukimura swallowed and blinked. "I don't believe it… the Yato…"

Takumi raised an eyebrow, confused. "Yato?" The tactician nodded in confirmation. "Yes. It's a divine weapon much like your Fujin Yumi, Takumi. The holy blade that will save the world and usher in peace… that is the Yato."

Ryoma closed his eyes. "Furthermore, the Yato is meant to be wielded by a single person. It chooses its master."

Almost on cue, the Yato vibrated and emerged from the stone. Everyone gasped in shock as the blade silently hovered in the air before flying towards its chosen wielder.

Corrina snatched the hilt in her right hand, staring at the sword and its beauty. "Me…?"

Takumi shook his head in disbelief. "Impossible. It chose you of all people?"

Yukimura sighed. "It is the Yato's will, Prince Takumi. The sword has chosen its master to be Corrina and her alone."

As the princess continued to gaze at her divine weapon, a voice called out in alarm.

"Lord Ryoma." Kaze said with a worried look on his face. "A massive Nohrian offensive is gathering at the border. It seems they're ready for war."

Ryoma's face darkened and his grip upon the hilt of Raijinto tightened. "I see… before now, I had hoped to avoid all-out war but after this…" His mouth twisted into a scowl. "Death is too good for them. Who will stand with me?!"

Everyone shouted in agreement and left with Ryoma to face off against the Nohr army. It was not long before only Corrina and Azura remained in the square.

The songstress broke the silence. "Corrina, listen to me…" The princess did not respond, thus Azura continued to speak. "You have to power to transform into a dragon now. And because of that, you will need to learn to control your power… use this."

She held out a small orb, which Corrina took silently. "...Azura, I… I need to know the truth. That's why… I am going with Ryoma to meet the Nohrians."

Azura nodded. "And I will go with you."


The sprint from the capital to the border was, thankfully, short in distance. Corrina stopped running and her heart sunk at the sight unfolding before her eyes.

Xander and Ryoma… fighting.

The fighting ceased as the blonde Nohr prince looked towards his sister and smiled. "Corrina! Thank the gods you're safe! Don't fear; your family is here to take you back home in Nohr!"

Brushing that thought aside, Corrina shook her head. "Xander, please… tell me why you're invading Hoshido!" Xander pointed the tip of his sword at Ryoma. "Father has said that it is time we unveil our true strength." He directed his gaze to Corrina once more. "Join us, Corrina! With your help, we can conquer Hoshido and avoid any unnecessary bloodshed!"

Ryoma created distance between himself and Xander, turning to face Corrina in the process. "Corrina! Do not listen to him! That man is a Nohrian commander!"

Corrina bit her lip in uncertainty as her siblings from both countries arrived on the field. Camilla was the first to speak.

"There you are, my darling Corrina! Never leave my side again, hm?" Leo smiled and shook his head, as he was prone to do. "You must have the devil's own luck, Corrina." Elise spoke last. "Yay! We got our sister back!"

Hinoka, upon hearing this, scowled and pointed her lance at Elise. "Nohrian scum! First you kidnap her, then you lie to her? Corrina is MY sister, not yours!" Camilla closed her eyes and shook her head in disagreement.

"No, you are mistaken. Corrina is my darling sister. You may not have her." Xander smiled and turned his gaze to Corrina with hope blazing in his eyes. "Return home, little princess! We can be a family once more!" Ryoma slashed at him, only to be parried by Siegfried. "No, Corrina! We are your true family!"

Both leapt away and turned their attention to the princess. Xander spoke first.

"We have loved you and raised you ever since you were a small child. It is more than blood that ties us together, Corrina. Come home, please!"

"No, Corrina! Hoshido is your true home! Join us, and help repel the Nohrian menace!"

The princess found herself caught between both commanders; both of whom happened to be her brothers. Ryoma extended his arm, beckoning her. "This way!"

Hinoka, Takumi and Sakura ran forward, with the priestess looking at Corrina hopefully. "B-Big Sister?" Camilla, Leo and Elise ran next to Xander in a sort of mirror action. The troubadour looked at Corrina and shook her head. "She's MY Sister!"

Xander nodded, extending his arm towards Corrina and smiled. "We're your family!"

All eyes turned to Corrina, awaiting her answer.

As for her, time came to a halt.


What… should I do?

My birth family… they've been trying to save me ever since the day I was kidnapped… and if King Garon really did cause that destruction… is following him really a good cause?

And yet… can I really turn against the family who has raised me all my life? Part of me wants to believe that King Garon is innocent… that there's someone else at play here…

Return to the light… or embrace the darkness…?

I have…

...to choose…

...my… family…


"My family…"

...the path was clear. Corrina knew what had to be done. Tightening her grip on the Yato, she spoke.

"I…"

Everyone leaned in, anxious to hear the princess' answer.

"...I won't betray anyone."
