● Roleswaps!! I think I mentioned this before, but I'm gonna ramble about them again anyway. Please imagine imperial prince Linhardt who wants nothing more than to nap but he keeps being pestered by his retainer, Caspar. Emperor Hubert trying very hard to get Linhardt to stop falling asleep during meetings because Linhardt's out all night murdering people for him. Okay no, that one wouldn't happen. But you get what I mean!! We could also cross the streams and shove people in different houses and explore those dynamics, that could be fun too. Future emperor Yuri is a thing I didn't realize I wanted until this moment, lmao.
● Emperor Linhardt v2: Okay, so I love the idea of Emperor Lin, so here's more of that!! This version is the one where the Hresvelgs all died (Those Who Slither fucked up their experiments too much, whoops) and so the next closest in line is the one who gets the throne. Duke Aegir totally thinks it's him or Ferdinand, but uh. Turns out it's Linhardt of all goddamn people. So Linhardt is shipped off to Enbarr to learn how to be the next emperor!! I was thinking of this setup with Lin as a kid and his parents are busy taking care of Hevring/dealing with Duke Aegir, so Lin more or less has to rely on Hubert as his retainer/support but we can absolutely mess around with other ideas! Please imagine Lin and Caspar meeting up eventually after years of not seeing each other...
● Emperor Linhardt v3: The Hevrings are the royal family in this one and the Hresvelgs are rivals with the Bergliez family. Linhardt really doesn't want to be emperor, so at some point he just. ditches. Probably after spending time at the Officers Academy or at the tail end of it, so he doesn't even graduate... Anyway, he's used to being treated like a prince, so roughing it is not exactly his idea of a good time, but now he's free to do what he wants and research what he wants and nap when he wants!! He could drag Hubert along with him or he could go off on adventures with someone else while Hubert takes over the Empire in the background (likely with Edelgard or someone else) but that's not Linhardt's problem now!! (Lin, no.)
● More Jeritza ships!!!! In particular I'm thinking about Jeritza/Yuri and Jeritza/Felix and boy do those sound hilarious and terrible. Please also consider Jeritza doing his best to be an actual teacher... it goes Poorly but somehow Felix has decided he's his favorite teacher. Alternatively: Jeritza is put in charge of the Ashen Wolves. Terrible. Jeritza/Kronya would be terrible too and I'm losing it at the idea of crosscanon Jeritza ships as well........ I love this terrible man.
● I want to do some kind of stupid angsty meetup years later thing!! Like two characters get together during their time at the monastery, but can't be together for ~reasons~. So they agree to break up and then either the war breaks out or we golden end au where there is no war (somehow) and they still have to separate. Flash forward to years later when they meet up again and oh no, turns out they still have feelings!!!!! What will they do!!!!!! I'm also down for drama like "one of them is engaged to someone else in an arranged marriage" or something. Basically give me all the delicious drama and pining and stupid shit. It'd be the four year timeskip all over again except this time it's intentional and also less dumb (probably)!
