Foundation of the Empire by Theia_Eos

Summary
A series of letters written between Begnion and Goldoa that are now contained within hidden archives of Goldoa Castle for the truths spoken about between the heroes of the old world.
After Begnion was founded by the beorc warrior Altina, Dheginsea gathered up all of the remaining dragons and took them out of the society of beorc and other laguz, eventually becoming the king of Goldoa. Soan, who had taken on a role of prominence within Begnion, kept in touch with Goldoa, worrying about Altina's decline after having to separate from her lover, Lehran, and was forced to pretend that her child had no relation to Lehran for the sake of peace.
But the peace Altina, Dheginsea, Lehran, and Soan sought could not come based off of lies that only further divided beorc and laguz.
Edit 10/11/2024: Some minor tweaks to incorporate lore I originally overlooked, including a new letter from the year 57 and changing Soan's title after that.

However, when his past caught up to him, and Elena killed by his hand, Greil felt that he ought to leave Titania behind, spare her the fate Zelgius had suffered. Her future ought not be diminished by the danger dogging his every step. Titania, however, was not one to accept such things.
A story about how Greil found, and eventually founded the Greil Mercenarie's with, Titania.
TW for Elena dying and Greil making it so he could never wield a sword again. It shouldn't be too graphic, but could be disturbing to those sensitive to such topics.

27 Aug 2022
Tags
Summary
The teenage boy was surly, with a sharp tongue that could spew out more creative insults than Greil honestly felt he could ever dream up, but it was all just a front. Greil knew plenty of boys like that, perhaps because he had been one himself what felt like a lifetime ago. The teenage boy was alone, making his own way in the world, but never spoke much of his family, which meant they were either dead, or didn't care, just like Greil's family had never cared. So what else could Greil do but offer Shinon a job in the company?
A story about how Greil found, and eventually recruited, Shinon to become part of the Greil Mercenaries, as well as key moments in the relationship Greil forged with Shinon, the ever surly sniper.

Gatrie, The Wall by Theia_Eos
Fandoms: Fire Emblem: Soen no Kiseki/Akatsuki no Megami | Fire Emblem Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn
10 Jan 2023
Tags
Summary
The teenage boy was hardly a knight, agreeable, but somewhat gullible. And yet he was earnest. A dangerous combination for a young person trying to make his way throughout the world without anyone to help, as unsavory characters with selfish and cruel intentions were often drawn to prey upon such bright, innocent youths. Greil hated having children fighting under him, but he hated the idea of turning away, disappointing Elena's memory, even more.
A story about how Greil found, and eventually recruited, Gatrie to become part of the Greil Mercenaries, as well as key moments in the relationship Greil forged with Gatrie, the ever optimistic knight. Now featuring Crimean political intrigue.

Summary
The boy came to them malnourished and frightened, easily mistaken for someone younger than Ike when he was truly older. He knew more magic than freshly trained mage soldiers did and had a sharp mind. A rare talent. But he's also only a boy, and Greil refused to have someone so young on the battlefield.
A story about how Greil was found by, and eventually recruited, Soren to become part of the Greil Mercenaries, as well as key moments in the relationship Greil forged with Soren.

Oscar, The Knight by Theia_Eos

27 Feb 2023
Tags
Summary
The young man had two children with him, one about Ike's age, and one younger than Mist. Unfortunate circumstances had led to his brothers having no one else to raise them, and now he was tasked with finding a way to keep them housed, clothed, and fed while also taking care of them, too young to be left on their own for long. Oscar had at least trained to be a member of the Royal Army of Crimea, and was skilled, so Greil was much less conflicted about letting Oscar join up, but what other skills could he lend to the mercenaries?
A story about how Greil was found by, and eventually recruited, Oscar to become part of the Greil Mercenaries, as well as key moments in the relationship Greil forged with Oscar, the ever cheerful oldest brother of the trio of children and former knight-in-training for Crimea.

Tags
Summary
Soren had searched for Ike for years as a child, travelling through the hostile jungles of Gallia and taking temporary refuge in a church at the border of Crimea. Soren hadn't known that after he found Ike, he would be helping Ike take down the Mad King of Daein as a strategist, but Soren would do anything to repay Ike for saving his life as a child. Soren's drive to repay Ike is tested often by the laguz they meet as much as Soren's own blood and inexperience as a war tactician, but Soren intends to get Ike through the war all the same.
War, however, is a long, bloody affair and emotions are high as more secrets are revealed.
***
Behind the scenes look at events that happened during Path of Radiance, mostly focused on Soren. (Or what if Soren had more conversations than with just Ike and Stefan? And also had more conversations with Ike because I am biased?)Series
