That was it. That was all it took to have his cheeks pink and his heart thudding against the ribs in his chest. A single smile. One genuine smile from you and he felt like he would melt. The way your eyes sparkled, the way your cheeks pushed upward, even the small twitch of your nose that showed itself when your smile initiated, every last part of it had him fighting against his instinct to place his hand against his chest. Your smile was mesmerizing, he even told you so himself.

After seeing it for the first time, he was determined to see it again. Your usually stoic demeanor, at first, had left him feeling uneasy and mistrustful, but now he craved to dismantle it if only to see what other expressions you could make. He knew it wasn’t right to think this way about his professor, to even think this way at all. His life was not his own, it belonged to the mass amounts of dead loved ones that he owed it too, so pleasures like these and his own desires had to be nothing more than fleeting feelings. It was only for the sake of his revenge that he was even at the monastery. And yet, he found himself unable to completely be rid of his interests in you. His cerulean gaze always trailed after you when he believed you were unaware. During your lectures, as you paced about the classroom in attempts to stretch your legs and keep everyone’s attention, he would think of nothing but you and what it would take to get your face to meld with other sensations. Your relieved smile was the first he saw, after Flayn had been found and sent to the infirmary, and then he was graced another smile after the Battle of the Eagle and Lion. That smile had been the best expression he’d seen you wear, so bright and kind. Truly it warmed even some of the darkest parts of his heart. But it still wasn’t enough. He needed to commit to memory more of your smiles, more of your expressions. During training, he often wondered how to aggravate you. To get you to show an annoyed or angered expression. But he wasn’t as good at teasing and rilling as Sylvain or Claude. He just had to bear with it and see if you’d let something slip while you sparred with him. He loved watching you eat. It fascinated him just how much food you put away in that lithe frame of yours. His interest in you was always getting the better of him. While he should have been focusing on other things, he found that more and more, you were the most prominent thoughts on his mind. Sylvain considered it a crush, but the young prince wasn’t entirely sure what to call it. It felt odd, almost like the beginnings of obsession, but he continued to feed this curiosity despite himself. Only when his interests in you began to take a turn into something more sinful did he realize how big of a problem it actually was. He hadn’t intended to feel this particular way about you, but the more he looked back on it the more he realized it was only a natural progression. A steady climb to reach the point he was at now. “Mmm,” a soft groan left him, muffled by his non dominant hand as he began to stroke his swollen length. The walls of the monastery were thin, and he would explode in embarrassment if he were to be caught masturbating, let alone be caught masturbating to thoughts of you. In his mind, it was not his hand wrapped around his cock but your smaller warmer ones. It was not his own thumb that circled his tip to collect the precum that continued to bead at the pleasing sensations, but your calloused thumb. Your soft tongue lapping it off the appendage. He shuddered, now biting into the flesh of his hand. It was easier to quiet his moans this way. The image of you in his mind was on your knees before him, face flushed and eyes half lidded. Your lips were barely parted and curved in a soft ‘o’ shape as you stroked him. He imagined the faces you might make at the peak of ecstasy. What sounds would you release at his touch? The idea of your battle-hardened body being so warm and pliable under his touch made his toes curl. He shut his eyes to further fall into his fantasy. Now you were stroking him faster, eyes never once leaving his flustered face. His cock pulsed in his hand as he imagined what his name would sound like as a breathy moan from your lips. They looked so soft, and he very much wanted to kiss them. To whisper sweet nothings against them, to watch them wrap around his swollen member and thrust between them. He removed his hand from his mouth, a light sting emanating from the bite marks there, and he reached down to cup his balls as they began to tighten. “Ah-ahhhh.” His moans were shaky, breathless at best. The fantasy began to crumble, and he cursed allowed. How he wished that he was engulfed in your velvet walls and not his roughly calloused fingers. It was too late now he was far too close to try to come up with another convincing image of you. Instead, he settled for a soft call of your name, careful not to be too loud about it. And then he heard it, your soft voice just on the other side of his door, speaking with another student in the hallway. He couldn’t stop, too close to orgasm to pause. His mind only now realizing he had forgotten to lock the door. You could open the door at any moment. Could catch him pleasuring himself to his thoughts of you. Would you be angry? Would you offer to help him? What kind of expression would you make? The continued sound of your voice added to his arousal. His cock pulsed once more. Did he want you to catch him? Maybe if you did, you would scold him. He whimpered at the thought. The idea of you catching him and punishing him almost brought him to his finish. But what he did finish to, was the sound of you softly calling his name as you inquired to the other student about his whereabouts. A gasp left him at the hum spreading through his veins. His hand and stomach were covered in his semen, and he sat back for a moment to recover. After realizing he didn’t have much time to bask in the afterglow, he scurried to grab a cloth and wet it, he always had a pitcher of water in his room in case he needed a drink, and rushed to clean himself off. He did however allow his mind to wander and think about cleaning you off, instead of himself, after he finished on your thighs. A shudder ran through him. Just as he had begun replacing his clothing he heard a soft knock on his door. “Dimitri,” you called. “Are you in there?” “Coming!” He glanced in the mirror quickly, making sure his hair didn’t look too disheveled, though his cheeks were still flushed and his eyes glazed over in post orgasm bliss, he decided he was presentable enough and opened the door. “Ah, Professor! Is something the matter?” “No, nothing is wrong,” you said and shook your head gently. “I was just wondering if you’d like to have some tea with me?” Dimitri blinked for a moment before letting a soft smile grace his lips. “I gratefully accept your invitation,” he responded and stepped out of his room, sure to close the door behind him. Though his mind was still a bit hazy after his release, he didn’t miss the small almost imperceptible blush that bloomed on your cheeks as you nodded to his response. He almost chuckled and let himself hope that maybe you too had some strange fascination with him, maybe even similar to the one he had toward you.

Like some ppl got the impression that Edelgard has no memory of her encounter with Dimitri - but she absolutely does, she does mention “that noble from the kingdom” in her godess tower sequence. She simply never made the connection between the little 12 year old kid she met and the young man she later met at the academy. In AM she doesn’t figure that out til the parlay scene, in CF she has it put together by the time they fight judging by her reaction but of course she’d have more ressources when she’s winning.

Something that tends to be lost in most takes in the game is how utterly and extremly one-sided Dimitri’s fixation on Edelgard is.

It’s not even about her - she’s a stranger who superficially resembles his presumed-dead mother figure. He has no family left except his jerk uncle so he gets super fixated on this idea that she’s his “sister” but that’s actually preposterous.

They share no blood, they weren’t raised together or by any overlapping set of people, Edelgard never even knew her bio mom - they briefly knew each other as kids but even then that wasn’t a family-like interaction heck they had a bit of a puppy crush going. When they were clueless little children a far cry from their ‘finished’ personalities as young adults. Dimitri didn’t learn that she’s Anselma’s bio-daughter until years later when Arundel set about manipulating him. Whatever the extent of her actual culpability or how much she knew, she at least risked Dimitri and Lambert - The last he remembers of her is her leaving him behind in the flames. Is this someone he should be hung up on? It’s natural and understandeable that he is, she’s the only mother figure he remembers, but he’d have every right to be mad.

Edelgard herself - especially young adult! Edelgard - is a person he knows nothing about, who is the exact kind of person he often says he cannot stand and has opposite beliefs in nearly everything from politics to how to deal with feelings, who never treats him as anything other than a rival and is actually somewhat off-put by him for all that she pities him.

In his route she comes up in several scenes, in hers he is barely mentioned; they simply have no relationship whatsoever.

We know how Edelgard acts with people she likes, even when they become her enemies - Byleth, Lysithea, Constance, Petra etc. all of whom she laments fighting and tries to win over. Heck, she respects Claude as a worthy opponent though they don’t see eye to eye. Dimitri is just not on that list.

Sure, she’s sad he died - it’s called not being a complete callous killer machine - after all she knew him, and he’s just an unwitting pawn as she sees it. He’s not a villain, but a tragic ignorant victim of Rhea and Arundel. When she was young and kidnapped by Arundel he was probably the one thing that made that bearable simply because he was there and not hostile. It says a lot about her that she readily admits this during the parlay scene and is fair to him even when they’re about to fight to the death the next day.

I’m not saying this to bash either of them - what I’m saying is that Dimitri’s fixation on her is a symptom of both his loneliness and despair, and his tendency to see things and people in idealized terms. It’s merely an extension of his character flaws, a challenge he has to overcome.

He’s so fixated because he misses Anselma and the time when he hung out with her as a kid was his last good memory before his entire life went to crap and half the people he cared about got butchered before his very eyes. He’s making a person he briefly knew when they were like twelve into a symbol for this lost idyllic past that he would like to return to. She’s a replacement goldfish, a standin for someone else - Anselma was the one he had a relationship with. Anselma “betrayed” him.

The tragedy here isn’t that they didn’t grow up being buddy-buddy, it’s that Dimitri was obsessed with her in the first place. it’s that Dimitri hasn’t made his peace with the loss of of his family. The fixation and the ensuing revenge obsession is merely an extension of that, another symptom.

He has no idea who she even is, as a person, until the moment he unmasks her in the holy tomb. That’s when he first meets the real Edelgard, and he immediately wishes he never did.

That’s the problem with revenge sometimes that you make your release and catharsis completely dependent on wether some other person hears and acknowledges you when you screw them over, if you ca even archieve that. In a way it’s giving control to your enemy. I know from my own experience how hard it can be to just let go and get on with your own life because you want them to know they hurt you, to feel your pain - because what? Was ruining your life just ordinary tuesday to them?, but thing is, you can’t make someone understand who actively refuses to hear you or might not even have the capacity.

A big part of healing is that you’ve got to stop expecting things from people who don’t have you on their priority list.

And looking at it from Edelgard’s side... how much do any of you still think or feel for some crush or friend from when you where twelve? Unless you’re still friends as adults you probably don’t thiink so much about them and certainly wouldn’t derail your big life plans for them even if you’re grateful for the time you spent together and the role they played in your life at the time

From what Dedue says about Dimitri after he decides to redeem himself, it seems like his post time skip self (broody, revenge obsessed, cynical) is more his “true self”, and that his cheerful pre time skip self was just a mask. Or they’re both the real him, from what he says in his A Support with Felix. I also wonder if he was unable to get help and support because of numerous factors, or if he was offered help but explicitly refused it pre time skip.

Hahaaa finally, there it is!

It's both. The cheery Dimitri and the broody, cynical Dimitri are both the real Dimitri. But only if you put them together!

The way he acted in his time at the Officers Academy was for the most part him pretending for the sake of others. But over the months that act became real because as much as he says his only reason for being there is revenge, he genuinely cares about his friends. He's incredibly supportive and caring, bending over backwards to make others happy

His post time skip self is just as real tho. He's been repressing that part of himself for years but when Edelgard's mask came off he just...smashed his own too. Everything that has been stewing in him since Duscur burst forth and replaced his happy self completely.

But here's the kicker: both personalities are real, but neither is the true Dimitri. They're both exaggerations born from circumstance and only if you put them together into the gentle and cynical, warm and lonely, caring and scared Dimitri we meet once he decides to live for himself, that's when we meet the true Dimitri

Yin and Yang, man. Light and dark. One can't be without the other and only when you put them together do you see the whole thing.

As for Dimitri not getting help, I again think it's a bit of both. Fearghus has a problem with how they view death, most certainly. Glenn's death being idealized and Duscur being slaughtered for revenge...neither of those things are appropriate reactions to what happened. And I think Dimitri could have gotten at least some help had he talked to Rodrigue or, probably better, Felix and Ingrid but I think that he saw how everyone celebrated Glenn and the destruction of Duscur and just...kept quiet

How can you stand before people who think death is a glorious thing and admit that the dead are screaming at you for justice? How can you go up to people celebrating Glenn when he's in your head, asking why you're not dead?

Had Fearghus a different approach to dealing with loss, I'm sure Dimitri could have gone up to Rodrigue or someone and told them how he felt but...well.

They don't have a welcoming place for people who need help after witnessing death cuz they never even considered that would be an issue and Dimitri himself wouldn't ask for help because he's a product of the culture he lives in. It's really not until Felix starts resenting him that he openly admits to how fucked up the whole thing is.

Fearghus needs mental health care y'all, desperately.

I didn’t wanna bombard your inbox with multiple asks so I thought making one submission would be simpler. I wanna so a little analysis on those videos showing uncut content that has Felix and Annette betraying the Blue Lions on the Blue Lions path.

First off, motivation. Annette’s motivation seems to be protecting her mother and uncle, but specifically her mother. Felix’s motivation appears to be related to his father’s death. So we can say their betrayal happens between the end of chapter 17 and beginning of chapter 18 (makes me wonder if there’s uncut story content that would give further info on the betrayal or if this plot point was dropped and any potential story content related to it was removed or not even coded in at that point other than the battle stuff). We can assume from this that after Rodrigue’s death, there was probably going to be some falling out with Felix over the matter. Perhaps he would have stormed off or otherwise isolated himself and perhaps Annette would’ve gone to try and talk to him, I suppose. And at some point here Cornelia would’ve gotten to them and convinced them over to her side, probably poking at Felix’s grief to make him get revenge on Dimitri since it was Dimitri’s actions that contributed to Rodrigue’s death and also threatening Annette’s mother. At which point Felix and Annette probably disappear from the monastery (or their departure is made public with Dimitri and the others begging them not to leave before the vanish). At which point they’re faced at the monastery and either killed or they’re taken down and after the map there’s a conversation to re-recruit them (although I will admit those defeat quotes sound pretty “yup we’re dead now”). That’s my guess as to how this story line may have been planned to go.

Now let’s get into why this little story line was cut from the game. And boy are there a few good reasons as to why they would have cut this!

Let’s focus on story first. The aftermath of chapter 17 is supposed to be Dimitri hitting rock bottom. His mental health has been shot over the past five years, his obsession with his revenge on the empire is at its peak, only for his actions to end up resulting in the death of the man who was a second father to him and for him to be figuratively smacked across the face with the realization of what the cycle of revenge does and realize he’s doing nothing for himself and others if he continues down this path. This is supposed to be Dimitri’s waking up from a nightmare that’s plagued him for nearly a decade. It’s supposed to be the start of his redemption, his atonement for what he’s done and his promise to be better. Basically, things are supposed to be going better for Dimitri following chapter 17.

So having Felix and Annette betray the Blue Lions at this point doesn’t help. Especially to have them betray the Blue Lions and fight against them in the map that’s supposed to be freeing Fhirdiad and Dimitri becoming king again. If these two betrayed the Blue Lions at this point, it just takes away from Dimitri’s path to atonement and from what’s supposed to be an incredible victory and morale boost in retaking the capital. Like “congrats Dimitri you’ve finally realized what you did wrong and are determined to do better and congrats you’ve freed the capital of your kingdom from corrupt rule and can now finally take your place as king! Oh but sorry you had to kill off two of your friends, one of whom is one of your childhood friends. And related to said childhood friend, that means the entire Fraldarius family is dead now and you got to witness the death of three members of said family…Yay…” Like, if they pulled this off in the story, it would’ve done nothing for Dimitri’s mental health and would’ve made retaking Fhirdiad and Dimitri being king a bittersweet victory, which isn’t what the story needed. Retaking Fhirdiad and Dimitri getting the throne should be a big celebration and victory, a proper homecoming after all those years of suffering, which it is in canon. Dampening it with something as major as the betrayal of his friends, especially a friend who Dimitri’s known since he was a baby, does nothing for the story or the characters.

Furthermore, I can’t see such a betrayal working well with Felix and Annette. I may be misremembering but Annette’s concern for her mother and uncle was already addressed in a paralogue, I believe. Her uncle swore to look after her mother, and Annette accepted that. With Felix I feel like doing this for revenge goes against his character, specifically since one of his issues with Dimitri is the fact that Dimitri is focused on avenging the dead and in turn not focusing on the living left behind. I mean maybe Felix’s judgement could be clouded by grief following his dad’s death. But having him turn on the Blue Lions as revenge for his dead father when he spends a good part of the game and his supports with Dimitri focus on how much he hates that doesn’t work well.

That’s my big points regarding story. Now let’s get into why following this plot point would have been terrible in terms of gameplay.

First off, how would this have worked? Like, would Felix and Annette’s betrayal be fixed in the plot with no way to prevent it? Or would it have been that if you did certain paralogues or got a certain level of support it could be avoided? Neither options don’t really work too well because messing up would have hit the player HARD in this case. Let’s talk about Dedue. If you don’t do a pre-timeskip paralogue related to Dedue, then he is dead in the timekskip. If you do the paralogue, then he’s temporarily gone but comes back soon enough. The game gives you Gilbert too, who acts as a decent enough replacement whether you did the paralogue or not. Basically, the odds are decent that your gameplay won’t suffer much regardless of Dedue’s fate. This doesn’t work as well if this betrayal plot had gone down with Felix and Annette. First off, Annette’s a really good mage and Felix is an infamously broken unit. These are two incredibly good units and, if you’re on Blue Lions path, probably two of your main players. So making the players risk losing both of them at the same time without warning and really late into the game is a really shitty thing for the game to do. Especially since losing those two could bring a player’s playthrough of the path to a grinding halt. What if the player was someone who didn’t recruit other students, wanting to focus on Blue Lions students for their playthrough? What if the player is playing on classic mode and doesn’t wanna use the Divine Pulse to bring back characters? What if the player doesn’t have any suitable units to replace the loss of Felix and Annette or otherwise has potential replacements that are nowhere near high enough in terms of levels? Felix and Annette’s loss, assuming it’s permanent, could be devastating to that player’s save file of the game. Especially since, unlike with Dedue, the game doesn’t provide you two decent free replacements to make up for the potential loss.

Related, I don’t really like the idea of spending a lot of time on a character only for the game to potentially take them away from me without me being able to stop it. With Dedue it’s kinda iffy but I can deal with it since we do get a replacement character to use just in case and it is easily avoidable so long as you do the paralogue pre-timeskip. With Felix and Annette, there’s no idea if their betrayal is unavoidable or not. If it is avoidable, it’s still pretty hard to make the player risk losing three units (Dedue, Felix, and Annette). If it is unavoidable, then it’s incredibly shitty to make the player potentially waste around 17 chapters worth of time raising Felix and Annette only to forcibly take them away. And like I said before, taking two units away could be a terrible blow to a player, especially if the player didn’t recruit others that could take their place.

The thing is, I can see Felix and Annette betraying the Blue Lions working if it didn’t happen on the Blue Lions path. For example, if you’re playing on another route and didn’t recruit Felix and Annette, and maybe there’s a map where Felix and Annette don’t want to follow Dimitri’s path anymore and thus become potential ally units on a map against Dimitri?

I may have forgotten something, but those are my main thoughts on why the Felix and Annette betrayal plot wouldn’t have worked and why it was cut. It’s definitely understandable why it was cut and I’m glad it was cut too, even if there’s some nice angst potential.

------

notes from bae: these are all valid points & I completely agree. As interesting as it would've been (read: heartbreaking lmao) I think it would jumbled up the emotional aspect of the plot at chapter 17-18, potentially seeming as if it came out of nowhere. Thanks for submitting this, it's a really good analysis!
