Claude: Look at that, a real-life princess! I"ll have to be careful not to scar that little face of yours. Edelgard: Careful, Claude. I'll win no matter what, but you're only making things harder for yourself. . .

so, god shattering star does actually have lyrics apparently! they dont particularly correspond with whats actually sung so i have no idea what language they're actually suppose to be signing it in, but according the IS since these lyrics were part of the offical soundtrack material apparently, the lyrics to god shattering star are [in terms of a fan english translation]:
Arise, you who cannot bear death Raise your heads bravely and take up your weapons No more staring at the corpses of your comrades
Warriors, gather to this banner Run! Raise the flag!
To take back our pride from the beast called God
Warriors, shout to the earth! Follow me through the wilderness!
In the name of rebellion. Let your bodies tremble. Let your souls do as they wish.
Like the wind that blows through Mother Earth (Fodlan) Like the sunrise that colors the great Ogma
Stamp it out, raise your voice, strong as a lion Our cries will ride the wind for a thousand miles Let it reach the starry shores of the sea Reach high and praise me, for I am the one who will liberate you all
Pierce the sky, mysterious artifacts I am the embodiment of wrath I am the God Shattering Star.
-
from this we can extrapolate that its a) a song sung by/about nemesis and b) its primarily about the past and why nemesis did what he did, in essence its his motivation [i want?] song.
some kinda interesting stuff in here to, well seteth regards nemesis as a common bandit and edelgard regards him as a slighted hero, the song seems to more so lean towards nemesis regarding himself as a warrior rebel first and foremost. for instance its not that the title god shattering star is in reference to claude breaking fodlans past or anything like that, rather its what nemesis calls himself in reference to his self imposed 'rebellion' against 'god'.
which well a pretty big similarity to edelgard in that she regards herself as a liberator from the goddess, i would also note that unlike edelgard who prides her liberation and rebellion against god on on a misapprehension and misconception of saving lives and on the more truthful desire to reforge the empire, nemesis is... not exactly the opposite of that but in a different direction thats more so concerned with the dead and a 'warriors pride' coupled with a desire to do anything they want. id almost say that it comes across to me that nemesis wants to achieve revenge and justice on the account of the dead which feels a little like dimitris own personal struggles taking more of a precedence then edelgards own motivations. only dimitris humbleness and insecurities are replaced with edelgards ego and savior complex. The warriors thread of thought does bring to my mind that well seteth and other nabateans probably regarded them as simple thugs/bandits nemesis and his gang were more likely a warrior/raider tribe of some sorts or atleast regarded themselves as such [a bandit tribe in truth? fe likes to do that sometimes].
other things to note the song makes reference to the beauty of ohgma mountains and 'mother earth' which the lyrics clarify as fodlan. i was gonna say that this seems to confirm that nemesis was in fact a fodlan native and not a srengi like i hypothesized he might be but then i remembered that the northern half of fodlan used to all be srengi territory so well the nabateans primarily called it home it would have been a notable landmark to nemesis regardless.
and also nemesis refers to the sword of the creator and the other heroes relics specifically as 'mysterious artifacts' implying even he has no idea what the fucks going on with the heroes relics [like that one book in the abyss library implies the other elites thought as well]. its possible hes lying but given the overall nature of the song and songs like it i do think its all hes genuinely suppose to know about the relics themselves. given how much he talks about revenge and calls himself the 'god shattering star' i do think its unquestionable that he killed the sleeping sothis or that he and his cronies committed the red canyon massacre. that said, i think the songs implication from that line and the abyss library book i dont think nemesis and the ten elite knew what those actions were actually for, just that it would give them more power and let them shit all over the nabateans. which would track since its likely they didnt have the technical expertise needed to know what the agatharians were actually doing, the dumb schmucks.
nemesis: so now that i've drunk the gods blood, this weapon will grant me unfathomable power?
some drunk agatharian scientist: sure will man, it'll give ya like... sooooo much power. youll like... -hic- be like able to cut a mountain in half man :)
nemesis: -looks down at weird twitching bone thing- ... why is it a spine?
the same drunk agatharian scientist: look man... i dont question why you walk around without a shirt ya... -hic- ya dig me? so dont you be gettin all up in my face like this! sure its a spine, sure it... -hic- it twitches at random intervals! you wanted a cool ass weapon, we... -hic- we got you a dope ass weapon!
sword of the creator: -unholy screeching-
nemesis: ...
agatharian: ... ya that... that should clear up in like... a century or two... -hic-

Sylvain Friends With Benefits HC's
Previous Writing Post: Dimitri Married Fluff
(But he's fallen in love with you)
Pre and Post Timeskip mentioned since Sylvain is a grown ass man at the start of the game lmao...was..was he held back a grade-
Warning: Ridiculously Long Post!
HC's:
It really did go as planned...at the start. It had begun when you returned his usual flirty banter, the one he gave to anything in a skirt, and he told you that he didn't think you'd be much of a Crest Chaser.
When you replied with "Oh, please,Sylvain, I want the dick of House Gautier, not the Crest." That was all that was needed for the entire affair to start. The two of you only had two rules.
Do NOT fall in love. This whole deal was solely physical, something the two of you agreed with since neither of you were too keen on commitment at that time.
Don't sleep with anyone else. If there was one thing the two of you weren't going to do, was catch something because you were having sex with a bunch of people. It just wasn't a smart idea.
You two were free to flirt with who you pleased, and to have crushes with whoever you pleased. Either of you could call it all off at any time, no boundaries, no restraints, just sex.
Sylvain found that it was an excellent way to de-stress and release all his pent up frustrations. Fucking all his problems away, how could he complain? And the person he was having sex with wasn't after his lineage? It was almost too good to be true.
He still flirted with you publicly, if he didn't, people would figure out that something was up. The two of you were so discreet that no one else knew, though you had suspicions that Felix had an inkling of your relationship with Sylvain was
(Oh. Oh? Oh??? Is this an angst possibility? Felix's secret crush is messing around with his bestfriend ahhhh-)
Sylvain was careful, and smarter than he was given credit for. He seemed to know the best places for the two of you to sneak off and fool around, all the while keeping his friends oblivious.
No one knew, mostly because while you moved up and down his cock at night, during the daytime, when he'd flirt with a random townsgirl, you'd walk past and give him a thumbs up. To which he'd laugh and shake his head before inviting the girl to a meal with him.
In retrospect, he should have known he'd end up breaking rule #1. You lived free, you weren't constrained by your Crest, didn't care for the supposed power they carried, and you lived the life you wanted. Nobody taking it from you.
You were everything he wanted to be, and he found himself jealous at times. But whenever he felt like that, he just took that feeling and fucked you rougher than normal. Everytime he came, it almost felt like a weight was being lifted from his shoulders, and it was intoxicating.
The two of you had sex whenever you wanted, once everyone would leave a room, he'd look at you longer than normal and there was an unspoken "My room. Now" that you eagerly followed. It was so strange. The two of you would talk about menial things while having sex. When Sylvain was pounding you into the bed, the two of you would talk about what grade you got for the last test or whine about stable duty.
It really was just unattached sex, so neither of you were being in any way romantic...until Mr.Gautier found himself with a problem. A problem that he didn't notice at first, he had slowly begun developing feelings.
Unknowingly, the flirting he normally did on a daily basis began toning down gradually. He pulled away from playing with women to go talk to you, or have lunch together. He started doing more things outside of sex with you and he genuinely appreciated your company, you were refreshing.
Fighting side by side in battle only strengthened his attachment, you had his back and he had yours. There was often little smirks exchanged when you two were deployed together. The both of you knew you were going to be wrecking havoc.
He realized just how deep in he was when after a particularly heated session, he left your room feeling empty. He had stood outside your door for a moment and he had felt a craving, a wish to crawl back into bed with you, not for sex, but to just sleep. To rest and have you next to him when he woke up, and to tangle together in a mess of limbs, relishing in the warmth of your body. Something he had grown very familiar with.
He had shaken it off then and returned to his own bed feeling colder than when he left it. But he couldn't ignore it anymore when the annual Garegg Mach Ball was held. He had danced with you then, he was your first partner and he had a lot of fun exchanging banter between you two. But when it was time to change dancing companions, he didn't want to let go of the hand he held and he didn't want you to release your hold on his shoulder.
Again, he ignored it but there was still that chill on his neck when he watched you throw flirty winks at your new companion with each twirl. He couldn't stop looking over so much so that the girl he had been dancing with at that time had gotten annoyed with him.
When you had your fill of making schoolboys blush and sputter, you ducked out of the stuffy noble environment. A little too fancy schmancy for you, you needed a break. Sylvain had spotted you leaving and when he saw you headed to the goddess tower, his heart had sunk.
He knew, everyone knew, the meaning behind going to the goddess tower. He followed behind, telling himself that he was just curious about who you were meeting but at this point, he knew better.
When he saw you just take a seat on a stone ledge and look up at the sky, he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He was jealous of a man that didn't even exist. Yeah, there was no denying it at that point, he had to face the music. He was head over heels and with that, rule #1 was as good as broken.
After realizing that he was also acting like a creep, he stopped hiding and sat next to you. He joked about how you couldn't last more than 30 minutes at a party and he smiled when you agreed to his statement fully.
After a little more smalltalk, he had quietly suggested that the two of you return to your room. You weren't going to turn down some fun so you agreed but had paused a little before doing so. Sylvain was acting funny, he was quieter and he wasn't carrying that usual flirty playfulness he always did. Well, to be precise, it was more subdued.
That night, in bed, he was different too. He was taking his time, and he was kissing more. Touching more. Kissing wasn't something he did much before so you noticed the change. He was also running his hands down your side, like he was caressing your body.
Sylvain was moving much slower than normal, it was slow and gentle, and you were wondering if this was really Sylvain because woo boy, the amount of times that he's pulled down your clothes just low enough for him to slip inside you and fuck you against a wall...
It was...different. But it wasn't an unwelcome change, a soft touch wasn't bad. You thought he was probably tired from all the dancing or something so you quickly pushed the thoughts away and went back to rolling your hips up to meet his thrusts.
By the time you had finished, you were plum tuckered out, Sylvain seemed insatiable that night. When it came time for Sylvain to leave, he had sat on the ledge of the bed buttoning his shirt when he paused, facing away from you, and asked if he could just spend the night there.
Again. Weird. But you overlooked it since everyone would be tired from the ball and would oversleep in the morning, you decided fuck it and rolled over. He'd given you quite the night, so why not. Sylvain had practically flung his shirt off when you said yes.
It was so warm and when you fell asleep and cuddled up to him in a subconscious search for wamrth, he melted. Gingerly wrapping an arm around your waist, he had sighed and uttered to himself "Sorry Y/N, turns out, I'm not very good at following regulations..."
He had the best sleep of his life that night, and the worst morning when he had to skulk away to avoid suspicion. He decided to tell you soon, to be upfront about what you were doing to him. But...the war broke out not long after that.
The war was arduous, rough, and unforgiving, but the two of you found solace in each other. The time spent in and out of the bedroom together was a distraction from it and the two of you spent many nights trying to forget it all. Still, nothing more than what had been agreed upon years prior.
Sylvain had hated the war and despite the two of you being headstrong, it got to you sometimes. His heart had dropped to his stomach the one time you had been injured and out of commission for a while. Since then, even Felix acknowledged Sylvain's new drive to train. (Albeit he would still whine every once in a while much to his chagrin)
When the fighting had finished at last, it wasn't a surprise when you two were a tangled sweating mess in bed. It's one way to celebrate alright. There was a desperation from the two of you, having barely closed the door before clothes were being ripped off the other in between deep kisses.
When you were catching your breath after having cum faster than normal, Sylvain looked down at you from where he had you caged between his arms. He was done waiting, he knew what he wanted, he'd known for a long time. And for once in his life, he intended to live his own way.
He took a deep breath, this was either going to go very well or very badly...but he leaned down and nosed the curve of your neck anyway,
"Hey, Y/N?"
You made a noise to tell him you were listening, all the while trying to stop your panting.
"Don't do it with anyone else...forever."
It took a moment to understand the implications of his words. What he was really asking of you...You said his name in question, an unsaid wish for clarification. To be sure of what he was really saying.
Slowly, he rose from where he hid his face to meet your eyes.
"I love you."
You were surprised, you certainly weren't expecting a confession in bed. And definitely not when the guy was balls deep inside you...how brazen. In your utter confusion, you said the first thing that came to mind.
"You're breaking rule No.1"
Watching Sylvain go from surprise to shock to annoyance and finally to a "Well you're not wrong" expression was absolute gold. And you laughed at it,
"Well," You wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him close, "I guess you and I are just a bunch of rule breakers then."
He scanned your face before uttering a disbelievingly "You mean..?", pressing a loving kiss to his lips, you visibly saw the tension leave his shoulders. The two you started laughing lightly, how silly of the two of you. How you started, how you ended, and the clear and blatant disregard for following the conduct you had set for yourselves.
Sylvain allowed his lips to meld against yours for a little longer before he pulled away just enough to speak,
"It's fine." seems his lips missed yours since he pressed them together again before continuing, "We'll just keep rule number two for eternity."
