I've been going through files on an old computer and found a pen drawing of Alfonse I did in April 2020. So I thought I'd do a comparison between him and the chosen Alfonse I drew last December. 💙 (repost because I forgot the alt text💦)

Eira, the future queen of Askr. 😅 (...Despite Alfonse and Chika's best efforts, she frequently gets into trouble because she's way too much like her father was in his youth...)

Alfonse lets out a huff of air through his nose, foot tapping impatiently on the floor. Eira can't help finding the polished leather shoe's movement more interesting then her father's angry eyes.

"Eira, we've talked about this," he says. "You cannot get into fights with the noble children. Especially not those whose fathers are on the council."

"But Andersson started it!" the young princess grumbles. "He called Stellan names, and–"

"And instead of discussing important matters concerning Askr's future during our meeting, Lord Andersson gave me an earful about how my daughter gave his son a blackened eye and pushed him into the mud."

"I did not push him–"

"Eira!"

A small piece centered around my summoner oc Chika and the events of the latest FEH chapter.

This feeling of dread is as cold as ice
It keeps me rooted to the ground, almost as if I were frozen by annihilation's winter
It is far too late when I can at last process what is before my eyes
His wish, it came at a price
In my heart that dread continues to pound, and it makes my resolve splinter
Your light fades and you can't hear my cries
Despite the concerned protests, I find my feet and the way to your side
I beg, I plead, and I pray...while he watches like a predator would its prey
He is everything I detest, and I wonder if he is satisfied
I question, I doubt, and I second-guess...without you how can we ever open the way?

Knight training in the rain. 🌧

Not satisfied, he swings again.

Straw flies past Bruno's vision as he hits his mark this time. The training dummy moves backwards with a stagger, then it collapses on itself into a heap of tattered cloth and splintered wood. Bruno steps back, pushing aside his soaked bangs with a sharp inhale of air.

"Zacharias!"

Bruno turns as Alfonse sprints to his side, carrying a flask and a towel.

"You'll catch cold out here," Alfonse says with a frown.

Bruno sets aside his lance, and the two move to sit on a bench underneath an awning. "My father always says that 'a proper knight must stand and fight no matter the weather or condition'. With that in mind, I must work hard if I am to better protect you in any situation." He takes the flask, opening it to reveal a hearty protein-packed soup.

As he quickly gulps it down, Alfonse unfurls the towel and silently dries Bruno's hair. The prince's eyes are unreadable.

In the distant future, Alfonse meets someone very special. 🥰 (A small snippet for #alfonseweek day three "first meeting/last meeting")

"Is it my turn yet, beloved?" Alfonse chuckles in Chika’s direction. "I will finish graying by the time she ends up in my arms."

"Impatient, are we?" Chika says with a smile and a playful roll of her eyes. "I can't blame you, though. She's such a sweetie."

She carefully passes over the blanket wrapped bundle. The baby wriggles around and squeaks as Alfonse brings her close to his chest. But once she's secure, she falls quiet, staring up at him with large blue eyes.

"Hello darling Melodie," Alfonse croons at the tiny newborn, gently tracing a finger along her cheek. "Grandpapa is so delighted to finally meet you."

He kisses her forehead and looks over at Stellan, who beams with pride.

"Mel's been such a peaceful child," Stellan says. "Malene and I could not ask for more."

Chika's got pre-wedding nerves. 🥺

From the first time she'd witnessed one, Chika had fallen in love with the annual bridal festival of Askr. Eyes sparkling with hope, wide joyful smiles, the beautiful outfits...it all almost seemed like a dream. ...But this isn't a bridal festival, and certainly no dream. It's Chika's real, actual wedding day...and she feels as though she's going to combust from nerves on the spot.

“Chika darling, I understand you are nervous, but if you keep trembling like that, I won’t be able to finish your makeup correctly.” Henriette pulls back and examines her handiwork. “Ah, I missed a spot...”

“S-Sorry,” Chika stammers.

She smooths the front of her dress for what is likely the hundredth time that morning. Chika isn’t the sort of person to be fussy about her appearance, but today marks the first and only exception in her book. She twists the gleaming ring on her finger and wonders if Alfonse is feeling the same way on the other side of the church. Henriette blinks at the summoner with sympathy as her gaze falls to the floor.

falls to the floor.

“If you do not mind me saying so, I think a short break is in order,” Ash suggests from her spot on a plush bench near the window. “It would allow you time to catch your breath, Lady Chika.”

“Great idea!” Sharena chimes in. “We can’t have you fainting on your big day, can we?”

Chika shakes her head weakly.

“Hey, what’s wrong Chi?” Mika puts her hand gently on Chika’s shoulder. “You aren’t getting cold feet about this, are you?”

“...N-No! Of course not...! I just...”

Her fingers tangle into the fabric of her dress and a sob escapes her throat.

I found a collection of journal style writing I did a while back where Alfonse writes about his adventures in the Order (and pines endlessly for Bruno). I might compile and add to them for posting to ao3 in the future. But for now, here's one of my favorites. 🥰

Today, Zacharias and I, along with other members of the Order, were invited to view the cherry blossoms in the World of Birthright. It is a tradition called 'hanami', and it seems to almost be a celebration of life itself. I never want to forget the beauty of those pale pink petals, or how radiant he looked among them.

(A caption underneath a pressed cherry blossom) This fell into Zacharias' hair. He laughed and smiled at me, and after removing it carefully, he said, "I suppose Hoshido wanted you to have something for your scrapbook."
Our fingers brushed as I took it.

I keep skipping around while writing Violet Requiem. The other day I started on a chapter that takes place after Bruno departs the Order and he ends up in Nifl.

“Damn it all...!”

A false lead is what Bruno expected. But that fact doesn't make the failure–the wasted time and effort–sting any less.

His latest trek finds him deep within the remote wilderness of the kingdom of Nifl, many miles away from the nearest village. He shivers, the relentless polar air whirling past him and sinking through his armor and clothes, all the way down to his bones. Yet, it provides no relief from the burning voice that sears in the back of his mind.

Bruno runs his fingers through his frostbitten hair, sighing loudly as he looks out at the wide expanse of snowcapped mountains and evergreens around him. Despite the cold, an icy river still flows fast nearby, traveling away to parts unknown. Entranced, Bruno moves to crouch beside the bank, peering into the water. He massages his scalp, willing the pain in his head to go away.

Zacharias: Devoted Shield A knight of Askr, and guard to Prince Alfonse, with whom he has shared a close bond since childhood. Ever loyal, his lance and soul belong only to his liege. (Bruno from an alternate timeline where he's freed of the curse early on and stays by Alfonse's side.)

Today I wrote quotes for a Bruno (Zacharias in this case) from a timeline where he was able to find a cure for his curse early on and became Alfonse's knight.

Summoned
"My name is Zacharias, a proud knight of Askr. I am pledged in service to His Highness, but I will aid your cause."

Castle
"Hm. That fellow with the mask looks familiar..."

"His Highness and I were once members of the Order of Heroes in our world. We had such grand adventures in those days."

"I'm tending to my lance. It previously belonged to my grandfather. Beautiful, is it not?"

"Magic? I suppose I have some skill in that area, but...why do you ask?"

"Prince Alfonse is my most cherished liege, as well as my dearest friend. I would do anything for him."

Friend greeting
"I was asked to deliver a letter from [friend]. My apologies for the feathers stuck to it..."

Status screen
"Do you think I startle that easily?"

"Embla? No. Only Askr matters to me."

"Hmm..."

"Bruno...? Apologies, but I'm afraid that name is not familiar to me."

"Alfonse...I pray that we find each other always, no matter the world."

"I've worked tirelessly for many years to get to where I am at now."

"I wonder...is the library in the same location as it is at home?"

Level 40
"Do you ever think about what your future holds, [summoner]? I used to believe I did not have one until Prince Alfonse entered my life and helped me rethink...everything. From his ever-present warmth and kindness, to his unwavering determination to find a path that freed me from the confines of my cursed blood...I have much to be thankful to him for.
That is why I believe my greatest wish came true when I became a knight. Every day, I am able to be at the side of the person I care about the most.
With a future like that, how could I ever ask for more?"

Map
"Yes?"
"Please direct me."
"Very well."

Level-up
"Grrr! This isn't enough for His Highness!"
–1-2 stats

"I suppose this is a step in the right direction." –3-4 stats

"This is growth worthy of my position."
–5-6 stats

"Thank you for this gift. I will use it well." -new skill

Special
"For Askr!"
"Your foolishness is your end!"
"Step aside!"
"With honor!"

Defeat
"Alfonse...please...be safe..."

A no dialogue summer chifonse snippet with a hint of spice. 😳

The sand is soft underneath, and the moon and stars are brilliant above.

The droplets on Alfonse's skin shine like light on the water's surface. His slightly damp hair feels like a pleasant sea breeze that tickles Chika's face. His lips and tongue sing with the tingle of ocean spray and the tang of tropical fruit. When he rolls his hips against hers, it's as though they follow the very rhythm of the waves. Like the summer's heat, everything in the air becomes hotter and hotter.

And when pleasure finds them, the joy they hold afterwards is not unlike the feeling of first setting foot on the beach.

Emma @creativemischief.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

This is a very rough draft of some post-canon chifonse. Mere weeks before their wedding day, Chika gets pulled back to the World of Steel and Alfonse goes after her. What he doesn't realize at first is that Chika lost her memories of Zenith...

"Chika!"

Alfonse bursts through the door of the bakery, the bell above it jingling fiercely with the sudden force. Everyone stops what they're doing and turns to see what the commotion is, but Alfonse pays them no mind. He makes a beeline for the booth where his fiancée sits, staring up at him from her book with wide eyes.

He spots the ring of the first queen nestled against that familiar half heart charm on Chika's necklace chain. There's certainly no mistaking it.

"Chika, I have been searching everywhere for you." Alfonse holds out his hand. "I've been so worried."

Chika tilts her head. "I'm sorry...do I know you? You seem to be familiar with me, but I feel like I'd remember someone dressed like a warrior from my favorite books."

Alfonse's face falls. "Your...favorite books?This can't be." He shakes his head in disbelief. "Chika we've known each other for years. We fought together, ate together, laughed together, cried together..." his voice grows weaker, "...we had plans to marry soon...to have a life together. How could that all just disappear?"

"I-I'm sorry...I don't...you must be mistaken." Chika's eyes fill with tears.

"I am not mistaken," Alfonse says, a bit more forceful than intended. "You are my most trusted partner, and–"

The end of a rolling pin enters the corner of Alfonse's vision. He slowly turns to find a tall woman with glasses who looks a lot like Chika glaring at him so intensely he suddenly fears being turned to stone.

"I don't take kindly to those who cause problems in my bakery," she says, voice dangerous. "And that goes double for anyone who gives my sister trouble or makes her cry."

"My older sister Mika is my only family. I always wonder how she's been doing since I got summoned to Zenith... She's always been the one who struggled more out of the two of us since we lost our parents..."

"You're...you're Mika." Alfonse says, eyes widening as the memory resurfaces.

"I am," Mika confirms. "Now get the hell off the premises before I throw you out myself."

I don't think I've posted this snippet from the post-book 2 brufonse wip I've been working on. 🤭

A long soak in a cool bath is a welcome relief for Alfonse following Surtr's defeat. His heat singed skin and tired muscles scream with gratitude as he sinks into the water. Once he adjusts to the temperature, Alfonse closes his eyes, allowing himself the rare opportunity to relax and for his thoughts to wander.

*“Zacharias... Thank you. You have saved us yet again.”*

*“It is I who must thank you, Alfonse. You saved me long ago. That moment...it has been in my mind of late.”*

Alfonse's eyes snap open. He quickly sits up, sending water droplets flying everywhere. His heart hammers wildly in his chest as their conversation before the final confrontation echoes in his mind again and again.

Zacharias’ presence, warm like a springtime breeze, started to thaw the winter's chill over his heart upon their unexpected reunion the year prior. Their subsequent meetings only intensified this warm presence into a blazing summer's heat. Now Alfonse understands, better than ever, how their connection never truly died. It simply slumbered, waiting and longing for the season of love to return.

*“Zacharias... We can talk later.”*

Arrival of a prince. 💜 (Another wip snippet from the planned Bruno fic.)

The autumn air is cool and crisp as day fades into night. Just when the final rays of sunlight withdraw from the earth, the cries of a baby taking its first breaths in the world can be heard from a tucked away corner of the palace.

Though this moment marks the birth of a little prince, it's not an occasion met with much celebration or enthusiasm. Rather, his arrival is met with only glares and whispers from many a soul, be they commoner or noble. But this doesn't dampen the blazing spirit of the boy's mother. No, for his birth is the brightest light in the dark days since Calista had been whisked away to this awful place. Far from her home, her family, and her first love.

With a tuft of hair that shines silver like starlight and eyes the color of the cosmos, the little prince looks nothing like his father, the emperor. It is a fact that bothers Efrén greatly, as he's backed by necessity into claiming the boy as his heir, even though he and Calista had never wed.

“Since he carries my blood, he will bear the name of Thrasirsson,” Efrén tells Calista. “But as for his given name...choose as you wish, so long as it is befitting of an Emblian crown prince.”

Calista shifts as the little one lets out a squeak and squirms against her breast, making sure he's safe and comfortable. He relaxes with the rhythm of her breathing and heartbeat. She smiles and trails her finger along the top of his head.

“Well, woman?” the emperor says with a note of impatience in his tone. “What name do you choose?”

She won't let him destroy her pocket of happiness so easily. “I was simply considering what would be the best option for such an important child,” she says smoothly, offering the emperor the shining, doe-eyed stare he claims to always find irresistible about her. When his body language seems to relax, Calista looks

body language seems to relax, Calista looks back to her little prince. “...Bruno,” she murmurs. “His name will be Bruno.”

Emma @creativemischief.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

This wip requires some context. In my post-canon feh lore, Chika and Alfonse get sent back to ancient Askr on their honeymoon, where they meet the eventual first king Líf and the dragon Breida (whom their first daughter Breida is a reincarnation of). Dragon Breida sacrifices her life to save (1/2)

"You..." Líf growls. "You knew of Breida's fate, and yet you did nothing to stop it?!" He grabs Alfonse by the shirt, and tugs him close. "This is why I do not trust outsiders. I never should have allowed you to set foot in my village...!"

"W-We knew of her fate because she was the reason we are even here...!" Alfonse says, voice dangerously low. "It was not for us to decide. There are forces greater than us at play, and we need to work as one to stop them. Now unhand me!"

"No. The way I see it...you and your witch of a wife are the ones responsible for her death, and I will not tolerate that."

"You may say whatever you wish about me, but do not speak ill of Chika!" Alfonse hisses through his teeth.

The warrior lets go of Alfonse and steps back before drawing his sword. "I will have vengeance for my friend tonight." He tilts his head towards Chika, but doesn’t take his eyes off of Alfonse's. "But even so...I do not lack honor. Even if she is partly to blame, I swear to not harm a precious hair on your wife's head while your blood spills into the grass."

"You–!"

"If you truly call yourself a man of the sword, then unsheathe your blade and let us settle this!"

This is a scene from the notes for my planned Bruno fic, where he's introduced to the woman who will eventually become his adoptive mother.

The woman sets the pastry in her hands on the counter and removes her mitts, setting them down next to the pan. “Friðrik?” she asks quietly, and with a soothing accent commonly associated with Askran border villages. “Who is this that you've brought with you?”

Bruno simply stares at her with wide eyes. Her smile is small, yet kind and warm. He's reminded immediately of his mother, and despite his best efforts to hold in his emotions as he was taught, Bruno lips tremble and he begins to cry. The woman rushes over to his side and throws her arms around him almost instinctively as he descends into a hiccupping, sobbing mess. She runs her fingers through Bruno's muddied hair and whispers soothing words that his mind is too overwhelmed to translate.

“Helena, this is Zacharias. I caught him stealing bread from Magnusson's windowsill,” Friðrik explains. “I believe he lost his family, but he has not said much to me. He seems almost...afraid

not said much to me. He seems almost...afraid of me. He jumps at many of my movements.”

“Poor thing,” Helena murmurs. “This war with Embla has stolen so much from all of us, it seems. ...Zacharias?” He looks up at her with red, puffy eyes. “Would you like to stay with us for a while?”

It takes a moment for the words to register, but Bruno nods weakly and buries his face back into Helena's warmth.

This was just a random Líf and Chika scenario I came up with for book 10 of FEH. It'll likely get debunked in a couple chapters, haha. Rather than being brought back through a contract by Hel, Líf's Chika is actually a ghost that haunts Chika. But she's too scared to appear to Líf until this moment.

"Your Chika wouldn't want this."

"And what do you know? You may be a Chika, but you are not my Chika. Don't put words in her mouth to bring me false comfort. It will not prolong your own life."

"I'm not putting words in her mouth. She's told me herself."

"You expect me to believe that you have brought forth my Chika? That...you've done what even Hel could not?" He laughs bitterly. "Forgive me, but I cannot trust your words, Summoner."

"...Alfonse?"

Without lowering his weapon, Líf turns his head slowly to face the source of the new voice. His eyes widen at the pale pink-purple silhouette of a woman who looks exactly as she did the day they had to part. She nervously fidgets with her fingers but doesn’t take her gaze away from his.

"Why do you continue this path, Alfonse?" the alternate Chika murmurs. "What have the gods ever done for us?"

"C-Chika, I just...I wanted to restore what my mistakes cost our world. What they cost us, and our future together."

"And to do that you would tear apart their future? What makes you and I any more special?"

"I..." Líf pulls the scythe away from Chika's neck. "...I am under contract."

"Contracts can be broken."

"I want peace for us."

"I can't be in peace until you are too, Alfonse. Leave them be. Please."
