Summary: Using the 36 possible pairings of the 9 members of μ's, I have written Fire Emblem-style support conversations for all of them, from C-rank to S-rank, as well as ten further "Trio Supports." These support conversations take place in a Fire Emblem-style AU. All of μ's will have Fire Emblem classes and they will do battle with whatever enemies they might be facing "offscreen."

For those of you unfamiliar with Fire Emblem, it's a tactical turn-based strategy game. It's mostly about war, but it's also about love and friendship. Just like Love Live! When units spend enough time together on the battlefield, they build up supports. They go: C, B, A, S. Unlocking those conversations makes those units perform better when near each other in battle. The S-rank, introduced in Fire Emblem: Awakening, has the characters get married. In this work, S-ranks will, indeed be confessions of love.

Each chapter can be read on its own and is labeled with the pairing within, so feel free to come for a specific pairing you'd like to read. I encourage you, of course, to read it all, as there's a lot of good context.


Reccer's Notes: Writing a mini fic for every single possible μ's ship combination is a very ambitious task, but this fic steps right up to that challenge and matches it fully. Each little ficlet manages to capture the essence of the characters and ship really well, in a huge variety of different ways. And the way the fic integrates the characters into the Fire Emblem universe (including little game details as though this whole fic really were a transcript of a real Fire Emblem game) works really well, with a lot of thought and detail put into it, without being too confusing or distracting from the character interaction. You're pretty much guaranteed to come out of it with an excited interest in the Fire Emblem series and at least three new rarepairs!

Summary: “…just ‘cause you’re blood, doesn’t make you family. you gotta earn that.” contains quick cuts, shaky/blurry effects

Reccer's Notes: A lovely tribute to a relationship that has underscored the show since episode one, with editing that hooks nicely on the bluesy groove.

Characters/Pairings: Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers, the Howling Commandos
Rating: Teen
Length: 21 400 words
Creator Links: [archiveofourown.org profile] TeaAndATale
Theme: female characters, research (amnesty)

Summary: Peggy Carter was not a woman to complain, but would it kill anyone to let her own a single pair of trousers with pockets? (Or how the Howling Commandos hatch a plan.)

Reccer's Notes: If you're still mourning the cancellation of Agent Carter, then this fun, friendshippy story of ass-kicking Peggy Carter, Steve Rogers, and the Howling Commandos at the front should cheer you up.
