Mïkê 💚 👑🐉🗡️🏳️‍⚧️Just finished the first chapter of a story I've been trying to write for the past 8 months! It's only about 3,900 words, but there were about 20,000 words written, revised, and deleted behind the scenes 😵‍💫 <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/65129773/chapters/167506408" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archiveofourown.org/works/65129773/chapters/167506408</a>It's a fanfiction of Fire Emblem: Fates, a fantasy action RPG for the 3DS. I played it as a preteen when it came out, and it's had a special place in my heart ever since.The whole fanfic is titled "If Flames Unseal", a reference to Fates' original Japanese title (Fire Emblem: If) and the Seal of Flames, a legendary weapon which the game revolves around. This chapter is titled "Madam President" and it's mostly a dream the main character is having. It serves to show that my version of the main character is different from the canon version. Why did I change her, you may be wondering?In canon, her character flaw is that she's too trusting, but that conflicts with her backstory. Three people are only alive because she intervened to save them, against the wishes of everyone around her. A fourth is (presumed) dead because she couldn't do that. So I think it makes more sense for her character flaw to be a tendency to try to gain control over her surroundings; After all, when she fails, people die. TL;DR My Corrin isn't out of character, the canon one is /LH <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WritingCommunity</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/CreativeWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CreativeWriting</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/CreativeWritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CreativeWritingCommunity</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/FireEmblemFates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FireEmblemFates</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/FireEmblemIf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FireEmblemIf</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/FireEmblem14" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FireEmblem14</a>
