for #FE3H30weekendnsfw, i was wanting to write some bad erwin/balthus smut but not sure i will actually complete it

I was inspired to write at least a snippet though <3

When the King of Grappling took a job with the illustrious Gloucester family, he had expected a variety of assignments. Even just in service of Count Gloucester, he had been a bodyguard, had done some dirty work beating up some bandits, and even a simple job cleaning out the stables when he’d been real low on money.
But he had never been hired by anyone for this kind of job before.
With nothing on but the whipping cream and fruit that covered his body, Balthus sat lounging in Erwin’s sitting room, waiting to be… eaten. He had assumed that they’d be hiding their escapades from Lady Gloucester, but instead, the salt-and-pepper haired lady sat cozy in her chair, watching. Was she going to get in on this action, or was she just going to watch the show?
Well, he would enjoy the fun. After all, Erwin was unquestionably into him, and who could blame him? His muscles were well-sculpted from years of mercenary work, and after the war, Balthus had ended up taking work in the Federation, which had kept him sharp. So who could resist this body and its rippling muscles?
A lot of people, it turned out, but if one of the country’s richest men was one of the people who was into him, then he was a luckier man at love than he had ever been at gambling.
Erwin came out of his bedroom wearing nothing but a thin robe. “I see that dessert is served, my delectable darling.” The older man moved closer to Balthus, until his breath lingered into Balthus’s nostrils. The mutual attraction was undeniable, and Balthus began to get hard.
“Oh ho ho,” said Erwin. “We haven’t even started yet, and you are already ready for the final course?” he mused as he took a single finger to Balthus’s chest, grabbing a small dollop of cream and licking it.

Day 3: Domestic Life/Family

Look, I fucking made something in time for the event! Anyways, middle-aged AU Yuri for ya'll.

3D Render of Manuela sat on a table where Cornelia is reading a book, they are reaching out across the table to hold hands.

Hapi can be seen visibly face-palming in embarassment in the background (or perhaps she's sighing without any risk of monsters because plot implications, we'll never truly know).

FE3H 30+ Weekend, Day 2: Politics.

Rhea/Anselma (Patricia)

Upon coming to Fhrdiad castle to conduct her duties, Rhea finds an 'abandoned' tower and enters to be alone. She did not expect to meet her old flame, Anselma.

#FE3H30weekend

There is no mistaking the chocolate brown hair and lilac eyes, despite the hairstyle and clothing being completely different from Adrestian. It looks quite jarring on her, and the vibe she evokes further gives the impression that she is not comfortable in it and will never be.

“Anselma…?”

The way Anselma snorts is so scathing, and the thin smile to gaze her pale features seem sadder than if she had burst into tears.

“I have not been called that for a long time,” she remarks without the practised poise, something that drew Rhea to her when they first met. Melancholia flickers in her lilac eyes, as if beseeching her to rescue her from this prison. “Do you know what it is like taking on a name that isn’t yours, yet acting like it has always been?”

I do. It takes all of Rhea’s willpower to not slouch or admit that very fact. “…Then I presume you go by a different name to protect your identity.” Another thing that Rhea is so intimately familiar with.

“Patricia,” Anselma answers, the name sounding as if she’s addressed herself that since birth. “I could have been called worse.”

“You do not like the name, or—” Rhea pauses upon recalling that Anselma’s sense of humour has always been… dry.

But she isn’t upset with her gaffe, for the toothy grin to appear on Anselma’s face screams of her having not smiled in such a way in a very long time. “You’re still not the best in socialising with others, I see.”

“Forgive me for being the Archbishop, then.”

For Day 2 of #FE3H30weekend, I wrote a fic between Erwin and Lysithea's father, talking about the flame they had in Garreg Mach and a visit from Erwin which brings up some old memories.

Girls just wanna make new AO3 tags~

Link: archiveofourown.org/works/71865156

what might have been
FallenCiatokins
Summary:
Idly, Erwin began penning a letter to Alvin.

My dearest Alvin,

Was that too bold of a title? Their feelings about one another had been an open secret, even to their wives, but it felt inappropriate to put it in such words as “dearest”. They were both married, after all, fulfilling their noble obligations to country and territory.

Erwin tossed the paper in the trash.

To Alvin,

Too impersonal?

My friend Alvin,

That didn’t sound right either. This letter might take a very long time to compose indeed.

Good thing he had the time, in his old age.

Erwin decides to visit Lysithea's father, who was his old flame. (Lysithea's father is called Alvin in this fic.)
