Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself! This is my first fanfic and I hope to update it weekly with reviews and critiques from you guys!

Now a little back story to this fic: When I originally played Fire Emblem: Awakening I unknowingly paired up Robin and Lucina and when I realized characters got married at S-Rank they were already at A with each other so I decided,"Ah, to hell with it. Why not?". Let me say that I loved them together, and when I found out Robin and Lucina were both confirmed for Smash I got excited to see my pair back in action. So, I decided to test out my writing skills and came up with this! I was inspired by some other writers online (on here particularly) and their Robin x Lucina fics so if you see a theme that's similar; credit to them.

EDIT: I finally got around to updating Lucina's speech according to your reviews. Again, thank you so much for all the support everyone!

Without further ado let's get going!


As dawn drew on the Shepard's camp, many of Chrom's army were waking up to go on with their daily lives. Normally, Robin, the army's tactician, would be among them. However, today was not one of those days.

The white haired tactician had spent all of last night devising new strategies and running test battles for the upcoming campaign against the Risen. The work had driven Robin to exhaustion, passing out while inside the central command tent. He had slept most of the morning through, ignoring his duties in favor of sleep, something he seldom did.

At around 11 in the morning Frederick, guardian of the royal house of Ylisse, had had enough. He marched himself into Robin's tent and doused him with a bucket of ice cold water. Stunned and shocked, Robin rolled out of bed and onto the floor.

"Ahh! What the hell Frederick?" the tactician screamed in confusion.

"Robin! Do I have to remind you what day it is?" the knight responded, stalwart as ever, "It's the day before we march back to Ylisstol for Chrom's coronation as Exalt! And YOU still haven't finished our preparations."

"Oh Gods! I forgot!" Robin exclaimed, jumping up from the floor, "Don't worry Frederick, I'll have that done in no time." He finished, shooing Frederick out of his tent as he prepared to change.

"Yes, and don't forget you have to write a big speech." Fredrick said as he walked backed to his own tent to check on his wife Cherche.

Robin hopped out of his tent with his usual black and purple robes on and headed straight to the command tent. Seeing it was a mess as usual, Robin decided to clean it before he began his work. While he was rearranging his books and stuffing plans into shelves, Lucina, the princess of Ylisstol and future daughter of Chrom, walked in, intrigued to see what was going on.

"Good morning Robin" Lucina said with a smile as she entered the tent.

"Hey," Robin muttered with a tome in his mouth while trying to put back some books on the top shelf.

"Oh, let me help you with that," Lucina offered, walking over to him and taking the book out of his mouth.

"Better?" She asked.

"Better," the tactician responded with a nod and a smile.

After Robin put away the rest of his stuff he sat down at his desk and Lucina took up a seat next to him. They sat in silence while Lucina watched Robin's hand fluttering along the page, writing out what seemed like an elaborate monologue.

Deciding to break the silence Lucina piped up, "So, what's this?"

"Oh, just a speech I have to give at your father's coronation." Robin replied without picking his head up from his paper.

"Interesting," Lucina commented.

After a while and as Robin was about to switch pages Lucina stood up.

"Well, I was just looking for father," the princess said, excusing herself from the desk and heading towards the exit, "I'll see you later."

"Yeah, see you…" Robin said lowly, somewhat disappointed she was leaving.

But before Lucina could fully leave he caught her attention, "Oh wait! Lucina!"

"What is it?" she replied, poking her head back into the tent flap.

"Thanks, for helping me out." Robin said shyly, blushing slightly.

"It was no trouble at all," Lucina replied sincerely as she left.


Thank you guys so much for reading. I know it was a bit of a short chapter but I assure you, Chapter 2 is twice as long! Please critique anything you disliked about my writing. As I said, this is my first time and I wanna make it a good one. See you guys later!
