Part One: Crimea
Chapter One: Elincia
A/N: Okay, so I had some crazy idea to make up a one-shot about each Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn (and some Path of Radiance) character. So in my extremely long author's note for this chapter, I'll give a basic guideline to how the chapters will go. There's nearly 100, so this will definitely take a long time to complete. Let me know if I forgot any characters ASAP. Also, let me know if any of the characters are placed under the wrong county. I did my best, but it was all from memory, so I could have gotten something wrong.
If anyone has any requests, let me know also. I'll take pairing requests, or certain things you want to happen. Though I can't guarantee I'll accept it…there's certain things I won't write. There's also pairings I'm definitely going to include, so yeah…
Oh, and I guarantee there will be tons of spoilers, both PoR and RD. So, if you haven't finished the games and don't want any spoilers, I wouldn't read beyond this point.
Okay, here we go. They're organized by country (in order of my favorite countries, I must add, but not by character. Because, of course, Lucia's my favorite.). Anyway, here we go.

Chapter Ninety-six: Epilogue (Will most likely include what happened to the characters after their one-shots).
Okay, so there is the really long list that will most likely take up more space than the first chapter.
I'd like to point out that I'm not including the smaller bosses, such as Danomill, or whatever his name was. I added Levail, he's kind of important I guess. I nearly forgot Ludveck…how could that happen? I don't remember a lot of the Begnion/Crimean nobles names…though I'm not sure most of the Crimea ones even had names. But the Begnion Senators did. Oh well. I probably wouldn't enjoy writing about them anyway. But if there's a specific boss you'd like to see, let me know…but include the part/chapter they're in, or I won't know who they even are.
Okay, I think that's over with. If there's anything else, I'll add it at the end.
So on to our first chapter, starring Elincia!
--
She'd seen a rebellion. She'd seen one of her closest friends nearly die. She'd seen her parents killed in front of her eyes. She'd seen a Goddess defeated, and a new world born. Face it, she'd seen a lot in her lifetime.
Ludveck had tried to use clever schemes to take the throne from her, but they'd imprisoned him. Lucia had almost been hung, but the Greil Mercenaries saved her. King and Queen Crimea had been killed by the Mad King, Ashnard, years ago. The Goddess of Order, Ashera, had been defeated by General Ike, and the Goddess of Chaos, Yune had been reunited with her "sister."
And still, she wasn't prepared for this.
Everyone had told her that with the return of her Uncle Renning, there might be a war for succession. She knew this fact too well.
After the defeat of the Goddess, she returned to the land of her birth, the land which she ruled: Crimea. She was prepared to keep the peace, and prepared for the worst.
However, the land she returned to was strange. Everyone was glad she had returned, glad she was their Queen. Though they acknowledged Renning's return warmly, none publicly mentioned a want of him to take the throne. They seemed content with Elincia.
They were also ecstatic over her choice for marriage. Who was more fit to be her husband than the commander of the Royal Knights himself? They couldn't wait for the wedding. The day their Queen would be joined with Geoffrey.
This all seemed strange to Elincia, though she really didn't mind. She was happy, very happy. She loved Geoffrey more than she'd ever loved anyone. She couldn't imagine life without him. He was her life. If anything ever happened to him, she didn't know what she'd do. She hoped she'd never have to find out either.
Her uncle, too, was happy. He knew Geoffrey would take good care of Elincia. He'd never let anything happen to her.
Geoffrey's sister, Lucia, was overjoyed. She had a strong feeling from early on that they would marry, and was pleased that she was correct. Her younger brother and best friend were perfect for each other.
Even Count Bastian and Kieran were glad, which was a tad surprising.
It seemed everyone was happy for the couple. Their old friends from the war were all invited to come to the wedding, noble or not. That's what they liked about Elincia. She didn't care whether they were from wealthy families. She only cared about who they were.
As Elincia looked up from the book she was reading, her gaze was met by Renning.
"Uncle…"
"Yes, Dear?"
"Where's Geoffrey?"
"He and Bastian went out awhile ago. Something about the wedding preparations."
"Oh, yes. And what about Lucia?"
"I'm not quite sure, actually. I could look into it for you."
"Oh, no. It's quite alright. I was just wondering."
"Hm."
"Yes?"
"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking."
"About what?"
"It's a secret. Now if you'll excuse me, Your Highness, I have a few things to attend to."
"Oh, of course. It's no problem at all."
Renning got up and left the room.
What was that all about?
Something puzzled her about her uncle. Lately he'd been acting all strange, like he had something important on his mind. She wondered what it could possibly be.
Oh well. If he wanted to tell her, he would. There was no sense in prying.
She went back to reading her book and dreaming about her wedding.

A/N: Yeah, the author's note did take up more space than the story…oh well.
Okay, so I don't know if you can actually call these one-shots, since they're all going to connect together somehow, but they're all going to focus on a different character's views.
Anyway, hope you liked it. I'll try to make the next one longer…with a shorter author's note. So leave a review if you want; if you don't, it's no big deal. And try to get your requests in to me soon, especially if the character(s) you have requests for are in the Crimea section.
I'll try to have the next chapter up soon!
