love triangle with shamir & catherine
pairing: shamir nevrand x gn!reader x catherine / cassandra rubens charon
tags: friends to rivals, romantic rivalry, academy phase -> war phase, open ending (route)
shamir and catherine have an interesting friendship! somehow they are alike, yet so different as well. and while they are friends, their loyalty doesn't lie in that friendship – so when they meet you, they know they don't have to play fair for the sake of their friend!
catherine takes an interest in you first! she's a very open person and approaches you first, chatting you up and developing a small crush on you quickly
catherine invites you along anywhere she goes and that's how you end up meeting shamir. you've crossed paths before, but through catherine you two really start talking
shamir knows crushing on her friends crush isn't quite fair, especially since catherine introduced you two. but she can't help but like you, even if she wasn't even interested in dating to begin with…
while catherine's kind of flirting can be excused as just her being friendly, it becomes obvious very quickly that shamir is flirting with you! not just to you, but to catherine as well
catherine never brings it up towards shamir, but the two women are aware that the other one likes you! and they both go all out to win you over!
depending on who you side with during the war, things only get more complicated. catherine won't betray the church, but shamir is willing to side with you, whoever you choose!
