A/N: Sorry, forgot to update at noon. I skipped A Little Frivolity as it technically has more than one chapter. Thanks to Xetton for favoriting the collection which reminded me to add another one.


Robin was an outcast. It was not always so, but once his true heritage came to light, the Shepherds almost unanimously turned their backs on him. A few were not quite as harsh and he was still important so they kept him around, but almost everyone distrusted him. Almost.

For reasons that the Shepherds could not fathom, Lucina of all people stuck by his side. Given her background, most expected her to react the harshest of all, but, no, she stayed loyal. She anchored him when he was emotionally assaulted on all sides; she kept him stable.

It was not until just before the assault on Grima that the others learned the truth: she stayed with Robin because she loved him, and they had been secretly wed. Chrom was particularly unhappy with the arrangement, and many Shepherds accused Robin of having seduced the princess, perhaps even with some foul dark magic. Despite Lucina's protests to the contrary, they resented him more than ever. If he was not so integral to their survival, he may not have survived to fight that final battle. As it stood, he was forbidden to fight by the princess' side.

When Grima tried to break Robin, Lucina was the only thing that kept him strong, and with that strength he shattered Grima's hold and escaped. When the time came, Robin risked himself to slay the foul dragon. Unfortunately, not even this act of selfless act was enough to remove his taint in the eyes of his comrades as they celebrated their victory; all but one.

Lucina felt no pleasure in this victory, for, to her, it came at far too high of a price. He did not deserve what he had endured, and she mourned the injustice and the loss of her one true love. However, it was not so simple.

For she not only loved the man that the others had turned their backs on, she also carried his child. When her parents found out, they urged her to give up the child, but she refused. However, they were adamant that she give the child up; so she left. She departed for a secluded part of the country and eventually came across an incredibly rural village where she met a kind elderly couple who ran a small shop together.

They took her in and cared for her like she was their own. When asked about how she had ended up there, she simply told them that her husband was missing in action and that her family had not been very approving of him. It was an explanation that they accepted and continued to help her through the remainder of her pregnancy.

When the time came for her to give birth she gave birth to a healthy baby girl. She named the girl Morgan; Robin always liked that name. As Lucina looked down at little Morgan asleep in her arms, she finally felt happy again. She had not given up hope for Robin's return, but in the interim, she would keep their child safe.

And so she did. Morgan grew into a chipper young girl. Under the care of her mother and the elderly couple who by that point had informally adopted the two, Morgan thrived while Lucina learned the shop inside and out in order to help out. The couple-the Dolans-eventually handed the shop over to her. They had no one to leave it to so they left it to the closest family they had: the pregnant stranger who had wondered into town one day.

The day that they died was one of sorrow for the princess. She had grown close to them in the few years that they had known each other, and she too had thought of them as family. Their deaths made her long for Robin's return even more.

She thought of him often. She kept the memory fresh, and it helped that she had Morgan. It was true that she was a constant reminder that something was missing from their lives, but at the same time, she was a reminder of her father and that she could not lose hope that he was alive and would come back. So she did not. She went about her business as usual knowing that she could not go looking for him with Morgan and she refused to leave her behind; she would have to be content with taking care of their little girl.

Morgan was playing behind the counter with her mother while she tended to something when she heard the little bell above the door ding as it had so many times before it. She called for her customer to wait for a second as she finished her task. Once the little trinkets were in place and dusted, she turned around to see what her customer desired. When she got sight of her patron, she dropped the old dust cloth in surprise as her words failed her.

Before her was that old tattered cloak that he had been forced to wear once stripped of his title. The cuffs were frayed and the stitching worn from the rigors of combat. The man was standing in front of the counter seemingly just as memorized by her. The two looked each other in the eyes as tears started to fight to escape before they embraced. They remained there for what felt like ages as they held each other tight when the little girl asked who her mommy was hugging.

Lucina smiled at the girl, "Morgan, this is your father."

A/N: I could have made this even sadder, but I figured that I should do a happy ending.

I have added four options to my profile, so check those out and tell me what you want to see. I do have another idea or two, but they're not posted.

Oh, and as for questions about a happy epilogue for Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How, as I said, I had an idea (using each question from both of their perspectives) but it had some issues when I actually tried to write it. Plus, I think the last chapter has a decent enough ending.
