So, this was largely inspired by MaxHP on Youtube. He made a few custom support dialogues for Fire Emblem Fates where Odin, Selena, and Laslow all resign from their positions as retainers to Leo, Camilla, and Xander respectively. If you haven't watched those videos yet, I highly recommend that you do. They are fantastic videos and they were quite heartwarming.

. . .

In the middle of the woods, just south of Ylisstol, the air started to thicken in a clearing. Suddenly, a crack formed in the air, and the space tore apart. Selena stumbled out from the space and nearly fell to the ground. Odin and Laslow weren't so lucky as they both face-planted onto the ground next to her.

"Blech!" Laslow spat out a wad of grass. "Anankos never told us that using that crystal would be so…tossy."

"Really?" Selena rolled her eyes. "That's the best that you could think of?"

A few more people were thrown out from the portal behind Selena, each one of them falling unceremoniously to the ground. Even Azura, the graceful singer and dancer landed on her rear.

"Ugghh…"

Corrin was the first to rise after Odin and Laslow. Jakob, Corrin's faithful butler and second coming of Frederick, was up not a second after his master, brushing off flecks of dust and dirt from his uniform.

"Wh-Where are we?" Corrin mindlessly asked.

The others got to their feet and looked around. Their confusion was answered with a single word from Selena.

"Home."

She was fighting back tears as she took in the view. She recognized this place, this specific clearing, as it was the place where she and her family came for a picnic for her birthday many years ago. At her feet was a small circle of dead grass where Morgan attempted to use magic to create a campfire, and the large maple tree in the center still had the unnatural curve in its trunk when Robin was teaching her magic.

"We're back…" Laslow whispered in awe. "We're actually back!"

Selena felt a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"Selena, are you alright?" Corrin asked.

She wiped her eyes before throwing a glare at Corrin. "Of course! Why would you even ask that?"

Corrin let out a lighthearted laugh. "My apologies. It would seem that my worry was misplaced."

"Obviously," Selena scoffed. "But…thanks…"

"Hm?" Corrin gave Selena a curious glance. "Sorry, I didn't catch that last part."

"Nothing!" Selena quickly answered. "I-In any case, let's hurry up and go!"

"Right you are, dear Selena!" Laslow agreed.

At this, Laslow's daughter, Soleil, spoke up.

"Where are we going?"

Laslow longingly looked off into the woods. "To Ylisse. To my home."

. . .

"Woaaahhh, this place is HUGE!"

Soleil's eyes were wide as saucers as she looked around the streets of Ylisstol.

"And there's so many cute girls here!" Soleil squealed.

"Not now, Soleil," Laslow calmly said. "First, there's a few people that I want you to meet."

As they continued to walk, Selena noticed that a crowd was starting to gather down the street. On either sides of her, people were rushing towards the crowd with excitement written all over their faces. Whispers and talk filled the air, and Selena was able to pick up on what a few of them were saying.

"It's the Exalt and Queen!"

"The Exalt is visiting again!"

"And he's with the Robin, the Plegian King!"

"No way! King Robin is here?!"

"Of course! The Exalt and King Robin are close friends, after all!"

Selena, Laslow, and Odin glanced at each other for a second before coming to a silent decision. They ran forward as fast as their legs could carry them, completely disregarding the others in their haste. The trio pushed and weaved their way through the gathering crowd. Many of the people that they pushed made irritated sounds and glared at them in annoyance, but Selena, Odin, and Laslow could care less. All they cared about was making their way to the front of the crowed, which they eventually managed.

Once they managed to get to the front, the three looked down the street, and it was as if they all forgot how to breathe at that moment.

The Exalt of Ylisse, Chrom, and his wife, Queen Olivia, were casually walking through the crowded street. Behind those two was Lucina, Chrom and Olivia's daughter from the future, and Laslow's older sister. Beside them was Lissa, Chrom's younger sister, and her husband, Lon'qu.

While Laslow and Odin's gazes were fixated on the Ylissean royals, they weren't the ones that Selena was looking at. Rather, it was the man that was walking right alongside Chrom. The Plegian King, Robin. Her father.

He had white hair and was wearing a purple and gold robe, and next to him was his wife, Cordelia, a beautiful woman with flowing, scarlet hair. Just behind those two and walking next to Lucina was a girl, looking to be only a year younger than Selena, wearing a robe that was a replica of the white haired man in the front.

"Mom…Dad…Morgan…"

Selena was looking at her parents and younger sister, all of whom she had not seen in years.

Maybe it was by pure luck and chance. Maybe it was because he just happened to look over in her direction. Or maybe it was because her whisper was carried along the wind and into his ears. Whichever one it was, Robin froze.

Once Robin stopped moving, Chrom looked at Robin in confusion. The Plegian king looked as if he was looking at a ghost, which, to be fair, wouldn't be far off. Following his friend's eyes, Chrom looked over in Selena's direction, and he adopted the very same expression as Robin.

"Chrom?" Olivia gave Chrom a worried look. "What's wrong?"

"Robin?" Cordelia started to follow Robin's gaze as well. "Robin, is something the - "

The entire group of royals were now petrified. Seeing how their Exalt and Queen were frozen, the crowd fell silent and every head in the vicinity turned to Selena, Odin, and Laslow.

"Inigo?" Chrom whispered. "Is…Is that you?"

Laslow gave Chrom a weak grin. "Hello, Father, Mother."

The moment Laslow's words left his mouth, he was embraced by Chrom. Olivia was right behind him, tears streaming down her face as she hugged her son, and Lucina also joined in the family embrace.

Odin was suffering the same fate as Laslow from Lissa and Lon'qu, and for the first time since they arrived in Ylisse, Odin had no words to utter.

But, all of that meant nothing to Selena. The only thing that she was focused on were the three people that were standing in front of her.

"Severa?"

Cordelia took a small step forward. Her voice was small, fragile, almost like glass. Her hands were placed over her mouth as tears started to form in the corner of her eyes.

"I'm back." Severa's voice was barely audible. She was only able to get out those two words, but even so, those two words was all that was needed before Cordelia ran forward.

Weeping tears of joy, Cordelia hugged so tightly as if she was afraid Selena would vanish in a moment. Tears started to flow down Selena's cheeks as well, and she embraced her mother, something that she thought she'd never be able to do again. She felt another body press up against hers, and with a single look, saw a mess of white hair and a crying face.

"Sevvy! You're back!" Morgan sobbed.

"This - This isn't a dream, right?" Cordelia sniffed. "Please tell me that this isn't a dream."

Selena lightly shook her head. "I'm here, Mom, Morgan."

A fresh wave of sobs erupted from Cordelia and she tightened her embrace.

The moment Selena was released from Morgan and Cordelia's embrace, she found herself in the arms of her father.

Selena was doing her best to hold back her tears with her mother and sister, but the moment that she found herself in Robin's arms, it was as if the floodgates were opened. She started to cry freely, releasing years of pent up emotions into her father's chest.

"Welcome home, Severa."

. . .

After the tearful and emotional reunion, and with a bit of urging from Selena, Odin, and Laslow, the reunited family moved inside Ylisstol Castle with everyone who came with the three from Nohr and Hoshido. Dismissing all of the castle's servants, Chrom led them to the castle's study, where everyone sat around a large table.

Once they were seated, Selena, Laslow, and Odin (but mostly the first two) explained what happened in the last few years. From them answering the desperate plea from Anankos, to them becoming retainers to the Nohrian royals, to how they joined forces with the Hoshidans, and finally ending with the end of the Silent Dragon, Anankos. They even included the aftermath of the battle, of how Valla was completely destroyed by Anankos's devastating attacks and power, making it inhospitable for anyone and anything, and how Corrin and Azura no longer belonged to any kingdom or nation. Xander and Ryoma invited them to stay in Nohr and Hoshido respectively, but the Vallites respectfully declined the offer.

"That…is some tale…" Robin muttered. "Joining forces with random people and defeating a dragon god? That doesn't sound familiar at all, right?" Robin looked over at Chrom, who smiled back.

"Not at all," Chrom replied, laughing lightly at Robin's joke.

"In any case." Robin leaned forward on his chair and eyed Selena, Odin, and Laslow. "Would you like to introduce us to your friends?"

The trio glanced at one another. They had a quick and silent argument through their eyes only, and it fell upon Laslow to be the first to speak. He took in a deep breath to calm his nerves and faced his parents. Specifically, he was looking at his father, who was infamous for breaking things when his emotions got the better of him.

"Um…Mother, Father?" Laslow timidly smiled as he placed his hand over Azura's. "I'd like to introduce you to my wife, Azura, and to my son and daughter, Shigure and Soleil."

Chrom nodded. "It's a pleasure to meet you, AzuWHAT?!"

"My…wife and kids?" Laslow repeated.

Chrom was frozen from shock, and Azura took this time to speak.

"It is an honor to finally meet you," Azura gracefully said with a bow. "Laslow has briefly spoken of you, and holds the both of you in the highest regards."

"Th-The honor is ours," Olivia shyly replied.

"Ohhh myyy gossshhhh!" Soleil squealed from a seat over from Azura. "Dad, why didn't you tell me that grandmother was this beautiful and cute!"

"Soleil, hush!" Shigure quietly hissed. "Now is not the time!"

"G-Grandmother?!" Olivia squeaked and passed out.

"Olivia!" Chrom jumped out of his seat and grabbed his wife before she could fall to the floor. "Olivia, open your eyes!"

As Chrom and Olivia were dealing with the revelation of being grandparents at their current age of mid-twenties, Odin took in a deep breath.

"Dearest Mother and brave Father! Your son has traveled through space and time, single-handedly defeated an army's worth of deadly enemies, and took down a evil so great that - "

"We've gone over this already, Owain," Lon'qu interrupted. "Get to the point."

"This is my wife and daughter." Odin motioned over to his left.

Lissa's jaw dropped and Lon'qu paled. Rising from her chair, Ophelia gave Lissa and Lon'qu an exaggerated bow.

"The heavens have blessed us to meet across worlds, O Chosen Ones!" Ophelia said. "I am Ophelia Dusk, daughter and apprentice to Odin Dark, your son of fate! To meet the legends who gave life to my father is a dream among dreams, and our meeting is surely to have changed Fate itself!"

"I am Beruka, Odin's wife," Beruka simply said.

Lon'qu regarded Beruka silently, a gesture in which she returned in full. After a long silence, they seemed to have come to an agreement of sorts as a small smile formed on both of their faces.

"So, following the pattern of Inigo and Owain, am I right in assuming that you have a family as well." Robin looked over at Severa, and his tone made it obvious that it was a question.

A lump formed in Severa's throat. This wasn't supposed to be difficult. All she had to do was introduce Corrin and Kana to her parents. Just a single sentence composed of only a few words, yet the words refused to form on her tongue.

"Selena."

Her mind was brought down from the clouds upon hearing Corrin's voice. He gave her an encouraging nod, and Severa gathered herself.

"Mom, Dad, I'd like to introduce you to Corrin and Kana."

For what seemed like an eternity, Robin and Cordelia didn't say anything, and it was starting to worry Severa. Morgan, on the other hand, had the widest grin on her face as she was bouncing up and down in her seat. If it wasn't for the tension in the room, Severa would have cracked a smile at her younger sister's antics.

"…Corrin. Do you…by any chance…" Robin was deliberately speaking slowly so that Corrin wouldn't be able to mishear his words. "Do you have the blood of a dragon running through you?"

A stunned silence fell upon those in the study. Not just on Severa, Corrin, and Kana, but even the frantic Olivia was now paying very close attention to what was happening. Everyone's focus was either Robin or Corrin, keenly awaiting for Corrin's answer.

"Yes," Corrin finally replied, his eyes firm. "We never mentioned this in our tale, but I am the son of Anankos, the Silent Dragon. The very same dragon whose threat we ended."

"I see." Robin folded his hands. "And I take it that very blood, by extension, runs through Kana?"

Kana nodded, looking a little fearful of Robin. It was to be expected, as Robin was currently a king and was once the vessel for Grima, the dragon god that nearly caused humanity to go extinct.

"And what of Inigo's wife, Azura?" Robin motioned over to the songstress. "Is she your sister or close relative?"

"Azura is my cousin," Corrin said. "Our mothers were sisters, a truth we only learned of recently."

The seated members on Corrin's side of the table all nodded, confirming Corrin's words.

"Robin, where are you getting all of this from?" Chrom asked the question that was in everyone's heads.

The Plegian King slightly raised an eyebrow. "You can't feel it?"

"Feel what?"

"Oh!" Morgan shot up. "Is that what the tingly feeling in my chest is?! It's like my blood is heating up a little!"

"So we weren't the only ones with that sensation," Azura noted. "Corrin, Kana, Shigure, and I have all been going through the same thing ever since we arrived in Ylisse. I thought it strange when I felt a…connection with Laslow, Odin, and Selena when I first met them in Nohr."

Chrom shook his head. "I'm not feeling this 'tingly feeling', or anything of the sort."

"Neither am I," Lucina said, placing a hand over her chest.

"Heh, looks like our dragons are better than yours, Chrom," Robin smirked, and Cordelia and Morgan giggled at the Exalt's expense.

"What are you all talking about?" Chrom demanded, starting to look left out.

Robin cleared his throat before answering his friend. "It's the blood of dragons that run through us. As you're very well aware, I am - was Grima's heart. His blood is mixed with mine, which is why Naga first called me 'Fellblood'." He then looked over at Corrin. "I guess this is some side effect of housing a dragon's soul, but whenever I'm near someone that also has the blood of dragons, I can feel it. Like a weak, electric shock running through my veins. It's especially strong when I'm around Tiki or Nowi, both of whom are manaketes. I even get this feeling when I'm around you and your family, Chrom, but I can barely feel it since I spent so much time around you."

"I'm flattered," Chrom deadpanned.

"I get this very feeling with Azura, Corrin, Shigure, Soleil, and Kana as well," Robin continued, ignoring Chrom's remark. "Based off of what I just told you, I made an educated guess on whether or not they were related to dragons, and it would seem that I was correct.

"That being said, there was something very interesting about Kana. Since Severa is my daughter, she also houses Grima's blood, and I felt a trace of Grima's essence from Kana, along with the feeling of another dragon. It wasn't that difficult to put two and two together. The same goes for Shigure and Soleil, as I can feel Naga's power coursing through them, thanks to Inigo."

"Wooaaahh." Kana's mouth was open in the shape of an 'O'. "Mama, your papa is really smart!"

Severa smiled at her daughter. "I never told you this, but your grandpa was once known as Grandmaster Robin. He was also the tactician for three wars, and he kept his friends and mama's friends alive for all of them."

"Correction: Morgan was the head tactician for the Grimleal War," Robin grinned, and Morgan looked to be conflicted between being proud and embarrassed. "And '...once known as...'? I'll have you know that I'm still in possession of that title!"

"Don't forget me!" Morgan added. "I earned the title last year!"

"Really now? Congratulations on your achievement, Morgan," Inigo praised.

"Heh heh, thanks!" Morgan beamed.

Unknown to anyone in the room, a furious blush rose to Soleil's cheeks when Morgan smiled.

"Uh, King Robin?"

Robin inadvertently scrunched his nose upon hearing his title.

"No titles, please," Robin said. "It makes things feel a lot more tense and awkward than they need be."

"I-If you wish." Corrin seemed to be taken aback at Robin's lack of formalities, but he donned a straight face and continued, "If you knew of our relationship, then - "

"Then why did I even bother asking?" Robin finished.

Corrin nodded, looking surprised at how easily Robin was able to read him.

"I felt like it." Robin shrugged. "Plus, I barely had any chance to act like a father towards Severa, and I simply wished to see my adorable daughter's reactions."

"Wha - DAD!" Severa's face turned bright red and she did her best to scowl at Robin.

"See? Like that!" Robin cackled. "Her faces are pure gold!"

At this, Severa leapt across the table, and Robin bolted out of his chair to avoid his daughter's kick, laughing all the while.

"Welcome to the family!" Robin cheerfully yelled.

. . .

In case I didn't make it clear, or if it was a little obscured, the pairings are as follows:

- Chrom X Olivia
Based off of Laslow and Xander's B Support. Laslow asks Xander if he had some sort of birthmark depicting Nohrian lineage, something that the Exalted family has.

- Lissa X Lon'qu
Because why not?

- Robin X Cordelia
Because why not? Also, this way, Severa/Selena is also royalty since Robin is now King Robin of Plegia.

- Selena/Severa X M!Corrin
Based off of my latest run of Fire Emblem Fates: Revelations. I, like a dumbass, accidentally erased my Extra Data which had my main file on it, so I decided to make a new run.

- Laslow/Inigo X Azura
Family of dancers and singers! How could I not! Well, Soleil is the exception, but I believe she can get there in time.

- Odin/Owain X Beruka
Not the most popular pairing, but I feel as though Odin helped out Beruka not only from the kindness of his heart, but because he knew what Beruka was going through. Remember, Odin/Owain came from a bleak future, a place where hope was pretty much lost. It wouldn't be a surprise if everyone from that world was as emotionless and cold as Beruka, but all the Future Children have their own perks and traits, including Owain. So, in my head-canon, Odin saw some of Owain and the rest of the Future Children in her.

All of the children have their default/official hair colors with the exception of Kana, who inherited Severa/Selena's red hair.

Jakob, Felicia, and Flora also came along, but since they aren't really integral to the story, I purposely left them out.

Also, anyone catch the reference to Saizo and Beruka's C Support? The best Support conversation in the entire franchise?


Next chapter will be everyone returning to Fates, and that will be uploaded once I get all of my ideas sorted out.
