Linclaude, a @nagamas gift for @pennamepersona! I feel like my eyes were opened for this ship. They're so attractive together. I'm so busy this month (with commissions to catch up to and a hearing next week) but when the dust settles I really want to sit down and read fics with these two (as well as see all other Nagamas gifts to find some gems hoho~)

you’re telling me both linhardt and claude collectively uncover the identities of all the saints just because they can but they never talk to each other a single time

in claudes paralogue he talks to and fights the windcaller. afterwards he at least draws the connection from the wind caller to the immaculate one. he knows there should’ve been something related to macuil there but dismisses the idea that byleth proposes of the wind caller being saint macuil and decides it’s a later problem. so he’s on the right track.

similarly linhardt talks to and fight the immovable in his paralogue. unlike claude though, linhardt pretty quickly catches on and realizes it’s saint indech, to the point where indech tells him to stop talking so it’s not revealed to everyone else. after the paralogue linhardt outright mentions how they fought a saint.

neither of them have supports with seteth, but they do both have supports with flayn. claude eventually figures out that seteth is actually flayn’s father and linhardt seems to suspect right from his C support with flayn that she’s actually cethleann. i’m guessing he then also figures out seteth is cichol.

so collectively these guys have figured out all four saints, and then rhea actually tells claude (and byleth) that she’s seiros. and they never speak one word to each other. ever. tell me how this makes sense. nobody else in the game figures all this out. they were literally made for each other.

…on second thought the game would probably end after like 5 chapters if they talked so maybe that’s why

congratulations linhardt and claude, my island’s longest will they won’t they relationship (from best friends to taking turns crushing on each other to mutual crushes to both crushes fading to crushing on other people to linhardt thinking his good friend claude likes him so he asks him out and it works)

as a follow-up to the ask you sent me about my fic, do you have linclaude thoughts 👀

I feel like linclaude is a ship that’s often overlooked not just because of their lack of interaction in the game, but because its not as big and bombastic as more popular ships like casphardt or dimiclaude. Linclaude is a lot more understated, and that’s one of the reasons why I like it.

I also feel like Claude’s likely one of the few character’s whose main impression of linhardt is the one that few other get to see, since they’re both night owls often holed up in the library.

Overall, I wouldn’t call it an otp of mine or anything, but I do really enjoy it! I do think it’s my favorite pairing for linhardt (I do like casphardt, but imo their dynamic is so much sillier as besties). So a solid 8/10 for me!

The thing, Claude thinks with no small amount of hysteria, is that the Golden Deer are his.

If Linhardt joins the Golden Deer, then he too will be Claude's.

In another world, that might be fine. But Claude only has one world to live in, and in this one, it's something Claude has spent months carefully telling himself is not, under any circumstances, allowed.

Hubert: Linhardt, I have no inclination to excise Claude from your life. I like the man! Lin: You like him? You never told me that. Hubert: Well, why would I tell you? To reassure you that you've made a sound choice, as one might reasonably expect a friend to do? Lin: ... Hubert: Very well. I like him. He's intelligent. He has patience and self-possession. And most importantly, he understands you. He understands you and me. Lin: What do you mean by that? Hubert: I mean, Linhardt, that whether you care to admit it lately or not, I am an important part of your life. And whether I say it out loud or not, you are an important part of mine. Hubert: I think, even though we might draw further or nearer from each other, depending on circumstance, you and I are bound somehow. Lin: ... Hubert: Claude accepts that without feeling needlessly threatened. It's a rather enlightened position. And so, no, I've got no desire to banish the man. Lin: ... Hubert: ... Lin: Okay, I believe you. ...Kind of feel like hugging you right now. Hubert: Yet, as my friend, you know that would be a rash decision.
