Kidquest is an AU focusing on the gen2 units of Fire Emblem Fates.
In a world where Corrin was never kidnapped to Hoshido, but figured Nohr would kill her anyways, she chose to withdraw from both sides and try to find her own way through life.
Twenty years later, the home of siblings Dwyer and Kana are attacked by Nohrian assailants. With their father dead and mother missing, Kana decides the only thing left to do is track down the dragon that appeared the day she vanished.
And they meet many friends along the way <3
A lot of fics, content, and shitposts focus on AU worldbuilding. Where the plot of Fates never happened, what happened instead? And it has resulted in a lot of fun lore.
But why is kidquest?
Kidquest began as a Fates Revelation challenge run with the aim of actually using all of the kids to finally get to know them as characters. Hence the name "kidquest", based on the "Corrinquest" challenge run format.
The rules of it were simple: pair off everyone as fast as possible, recruit the kids, and only use them (barring a backpack Corrin), resulting in perhaps some off-beat pairings seen in the AU.
All AU pairings are true to the original run completed by Pix, excluding Ryoma/Scarlet (which was actually Ryoma/Setsuna), because those two not having supports is stupid.
And then came the thought of what the in-universe lore of such a run would be, so the kidquest AU was born...

Some of these are hypothetical post-canon, some of them are just fun to play with, and some of them are just canon in the background. Have fun.
