I finally found the urge to remake this and I’m much happier with take two.

Read it here!

I'm back with another fic! This time I'm bringing you a Hanneman/Dedue support. An unusual pairing, but I had a lot of fun writing them and I think it turned out well. Hopefully the Dedue fans among you will enjoy it!

Zelkov = Hubert + Dedue

Maybe it's just my personal take, but I think Zelkov is somehow an interesting mix of Hubert and Dedue. Here are my thoughts:

1. Zelkov is a professional assassin like Hubert.

2. Zelkov sees "serving Ivy" as a work that gives his life a purpose. He enjoys it.

3. Zelkov shares similar trauma with Dedue, as both their families were murdered. And they are both the elder child in the family. (Another note: Hubert is also the eldest brother in his family).

4. Although there's no mention of racism, Zelkov's dark grey skin tone is quite rare in the game. Both Zelkov and Dedue are considered to have a scary face in the support conversations. (Hubert too, but that's a different kind of "scary".)

5. Zelkov is a caretaker. He is good at household works like Dedue.

6. Zelkov is more of a shadow (Hubert) than a shield (Dedue) to his liege.

7. Zelkov's loyalty and importance to Ivy was downplayed in English ver., but he is the only one mentioned in the ending card as the "right hand" to the liege. I copyed the Japanese ending card with direct English translation below↓

「忠実」な影 ゼルコバ

アイビー王の片腕として任を果たす。

イルシオンの戦災孤児に心を痛め、

孤児院の設立を促すとともに

自ら何人もの子を引き取って育てた。

家族ができると、より一層仕事に励み

趣味の時間もないほどの多忙を極めたが

彼自身は幸せそうであったという。

子供たちは父ゼルコバの真似をして、

妙に「意味深」な話し方をしたとか。

"Shadow of Loyalty" Zelkov

He serves as Queen Ivy’s right hand.

Deeply grieved by the war orphans of Elusia, he urged the establishment of orphanages and personally adopted and raised many children.

After starting a family, he worked even harder, reaching a level of busyness where he had no time for hobbies—yet he himself seemed thoroughly happy.

It is said that the children would imitate their father Zelkov, speaking in a strangely “enigmatic” manner.

I'm very tempted to try to make my own Dedue scarf, I love the way yours looks (no hate to the printed ones available it just isn't authentic enough in a way that sates me). Would there be any tips/tricks you'd be willing to share before starting? I crochet primarily, but I've knitted things before so i'm not completely in the dark.

Hey!! Thanks for your patience on this ask, I wanted to get you good instructions but I have been super busy. In the end while looking for the color chart I actually found my pattern for the smaller motif (it was on notebook paper) so I decided to just. Write the whole pattern out.

I mentioned this in the post with the photos but to restate here on the pattern, I knitted my scarf using Knit Picks Palette fingering weight yarn (50g, 100% Peruvian highland wool), which is very warm and toasty in my New England winters. To do this pattern the way I did it you will need to buy 8 balls in Marine Heather, 1 ball in Almond, and 1 ball in Garnet Heather. I used 2.5mm circular needles with a long cable to manage the width of the fabric but use whatever you like to get the gauge; gauge should be 8 stitches across and 10 stitches tall per inch.

I Included the lengths of blue stockinette I used to be proportional to my 5'2" height, but you can knit more or less of this as you like to account for the height of the wearer. Dedue has two different sizes of the motif, a larger one on the tail down his back and a smaller one on the wrapped part, so there are two different colorwork patterns. Only one of each motif is visible on the model, but included a second small repeat for visual interest on a human person. I also start from the straight edge visible on the Hopes model and end on the jagged edge hanging down the back of the Houses model.

Also credit to @eaglehorn who sent me the chart I went off of for the larger motif, which I have translated to a pattern here.

Cast on 154 stitches in Marine Heather, ideally with a stretchy cast-on.

Stockinette 5 rows Garnet Heather

Stockinette 7 rows Almond

Stockinette about 9# Marine Heather

At this point I starter free-forming the bind-off with my heart to achieve the jagged edge on the scarf. Ultimately the longest tail was about 27" from the start of the Marine Heather section; refer to the photos in the above linked post for the edge I ended up with but do whatever you want here to end the scarf! Wet block; I used foam mats and blocking wire for blocking this.

I hope this helps!

30!

30: What characters should have more support options and who should have been their support options?

Dedue! I wish he had a few more out of house supports! (same can be said for Hubert/lords, but Dedue has the most supports that I’ve thought about and really wanted to see!)

Here is a few ideas for his supports:

- Ignatz: I would have loved to see Ignatz help Dedue in preserving Duscar culture. At the start, Dedue would not want to talk about it. I don’t think Ignatz would understand why it is a tough subject for Dedue. I think they would build understanding with each other throughout the support, and Ignatz would understand the context with Duscar and the kingdom. At the end, Dedue would trust Ignatz enough (and after spending 5 years in Duscar) to share his memories, which Ignatz would compile into a book.

- Bernadetta: I would love to see a gardening support between these two. Maybe Bernadetta found some rare flower seeds and is trying to grow them, but isn’t having any luck. Dedue would recognize them as native to Duscar and they would grow them together in the greenhouse!

- Leonie: I think that these two would get along in some aspects, but I also think Leonie would be frustrated by Dedue’s relationship with Dimitri as someone who is headstrong and forges her own path. However, I think that after learning more about Dedue’s situation, she would understand that Dedue, as someone from Duscar and a commoner, is trying to do what is best for his people. Leonie also wants to help her village and repay them too. However, I would love to see her influence Dedue to follow his own path as well and not feel as bound to Dimitri. I can see them being great friends in the end.

- Marianne: DEDUE AND DORTE MEET UP… I think Dorte is very well trained by Marianne, so I think Marianne introducing Dorte to Dedue would be a great support. Dedue thinks that animals don’t like him, but it would be so awesome to see Marianne and Dorte prove this wrong. Dedue would be scared of Dorte, but Dorte is super gentle and I think Marianne would help Dedue ride him. I think they have a lot in common, being quiet people. They also push people away in fear. Dedue would think Marianne shouldn’t be around him as he is from Duscar, while Marianne thinks Dedue shouldn’t be around her due to her crest. I would love to see them in a paired ending too. I think Dedue would try and court her by bringing her like bird seed and flowers 😭🥹❤️❤️

Fire Emblem Three Houses team: “Hey can we copy your homework”

Punch-Out Wii team: “Sure, just don’t make it too obvious”

Please don’t comment with 3H spoilers or I’ll cry

Two things that make this even funnier:

1) Macho is 27. Dedue is 25. BOTH of them look like they’re in their 50s.

2) These two could not be more different in terms of personality. I think if Dedue even just wore Macho’s clothes he’d never want to be seen in public again.

Just a doodle, but in my head this is about Dimidue.
