Edeleth Fan Fic - Throne of Dreams

Been awhile since I posted a promotion for this fic on here, but I just hit a big reveal and lore point for the story so figured it was a good time to see if new readers might be interested in some f!Byleth Edeleth! Especially with Fortune's Weave so close to the horizon and all my lore being threatened with being obliterated lol. Here's the link: Throne of Dreams, the meat of it is below though!

Summary:

Long before they meet at Garreg Mach, Edelgard von Hresvelg and Byleth meet one another somewhere neither of them fully understands: a quiet throne room that only exists in their dreams.

For Byleth, it starts with a strange, sleeping, green-haired girl, and a door that should not exist. For Edelgard, trapped far away and growing up in a world far crueler than it should be, that door between their dreams slowly becomes something precious.

Night after night, year after year, the two continue to meet in these dreams. Sometimes they teach each other about their own little worlds. Sometimes they explore strange visions of the past. Sometimes they simply support one another after hard, waking days.

They grow up together in these small, stolen moments of sleep. Neither of them realizes that one day, they will meet again in the waking world, and that the fate of all Fódlan may rest on what they come to mean to one another.

I'm at 44 chapters, 340k+ words and JUST revealed the reason for the dreamsharing lol. This story is easily going to hit 1M words by the time I'm finished and I hate myself for it, but dammit I will do it. I'm writing a thing I genuinely love here, with characters/blorbos that I adore and want to emulate, so the story is slow, but I'm stretching a lot of muscles while writing it. Updates are weekly, about 9-12k words per chapter.

Some comments from readers that love my story and have helped me write chapters going forward in it:

Queen of Hearts: What the fuck do you mean its a poem.

What the fuck do you mean it was all fucking connected>

ByteSizeNudist Chekhov's gunned me down in the streets.

God this fic is going to make me lace my fics with so many hints people will think its an ARG who's reward is more tears

PastelApocalypse: Once again you have me hanging on every word.
I cannot stress to you how good this fic is.
I have re read it 2x and I am genuinely sad I have to wait for more chapters.
I cant wait to see what comes of these conversations.
And I need to get some edeleth moments as well.
Thank you for the chapter!

TheDarkofTheDawn: Reading this chapter was like watching an elaborate, engrossing dance. My eyes were glued to it the entire time. Great stuff.

Writers, you ever get those comments that make you just fist pump and go "Yeah, eat my entire asshole, JKR, I'm the boss on this flight now"?

Heritage Hill, how are you cooling your homes/apartments?

Just moved into a furbished 2nd floor apt and the place only has one AC unit right now.

What’s the best way to keep the place from becoming a hot box? Open the windows at night and capture as must cool, night air? Open all the windows during the day?

Looking for tips and tricks to keep this old, wooden apartment cooler during the heatwave.

If the Agarthans had tactical missiles (nukes?) then did they also have guns?

This is important.

Guns might not have helped when there's hundreds of Nabateans running around, but once it's just Rhea standing alone after 1000yrs, I feel like a gun would have been a quick, easy solution for them.

Solon with a silenced pistol would have solved a lot of their problems.

Writing myself into a corner for a cool moment to happen, and now I've rewritten the next chapter three times because making it feel natural is impossible

I'm so mad at myself lol. If I had just let this one character die, instead of letting all the companions see one of the protagonists give them an out to escape, then this follow-up chapter would be soooooooo much easier. Instead I have to figure out how to make all the companions keep quiet about the mercy in a way that makes sense and is digestible. I was already exhausted from writing 40k words for this story arc, and I just want to move on to writing some fun stuff instead finally, but instead I have to bash my head against my keyboard so my readers don't blow up my comments about the explanation not being believable enough.

One of those moments where I wish I wrote the whole fic first before publishing it to AO3.

Shit just went down outside near North and Wabansia

Nothing happened, it seems. The young guy they put in cuffs was let go later in the video and doesn’t look like anyone was arrested.

Put on a police scanner in the middle of it (30min delay on it) to see if I could figure out what was going down, but nothing yet.

Edeleth fics are alive and kicking - Throne of Dreams (190k words and 31 chapters strong now)

I've earned and (lovingly) collected a large amount of magnificent commenters from my posting of this fic on this subreddit, now long, long ago - I treasure them so much - so I wanted to post again to promote my Edeleth AU fic that centers around El and Byleth growing up sharing dreams, long before they meet proper-like at Garreg Mach. I've had such an amazing time writing this and hearing from those that read and love it, so I hope to share this with more folks and hear from all of you as well so we can gush about our favorite pairing together over the oomphiest of fluff (and a wee bit of drama and sad times too, because it makes the happy times taste that much sweeter imo). I update regularly, no later than a week at a time so far and plan to do my best to keep to that schedule for the foreseeable future!

Anyway, link is at the bottom and the summary for it is below. Hope you enjoy the read if you choose to indulge yourself.

Tried my hand at looping a gif of sleepy Sothis

Wanted to embed an endless loop gif of this to a fic I'm working on, but weren't a lot of gifs or webms available it seems, so I did it myself. Sadly, this one here is rather low quality since Reddit only allows 10mb gifs.

If anyone wants the higher quality version, I uploaded it here

Love this update, but sad about no new Decks

That’s all. I heard every major update before this has had new decks, not sure why this one would break the trend. Liked being able to get coins from the other decks, even when I didn’t actually want anything in them.

I just want to see cool clips, some memes, and hell even a little fan art of sexy robots thrown into the mix. Every one of you critiquing even the slightest nuance is killing my feed. Imagine looking at this game deciding if you’re gonna play and all you get is some critical discussion on how to change something that isn’t really a problem. Show me hot ARC, show me Bastions with fishnet stockings, and show me it now.

SEX SELLS, PEOPLE.
