thread wishlist. The following is a list of thread ideas that you can feel free to jump into with Byleth on any meme! Some of these were written as ideas for Dimitri specifically, but I am open to everyone, so if you're interested in something listed here and want to remix it a bit, feel free to let me know and I can adapt it for our purposes. Contains major spoilers for Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Do not read anything below this line if you're not comfortable with spoilers. ✦ Last updated December 1, 2025. WIP.

house eisner; ⟡ IF I TOLD YOU A LIE

Characters:

Open to all, but this probably works best with characters with ties to Faerghus.

Shipping:

Not required.

I like Byleth's relationships to the Nabateans and everything, but I've always been rather curious about Jeralt's life prior to entering Rhea's service. Fan speculation on the Wiki suggests that Jeralt may have been born a nobleman from the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, most probably from a fallen house that did not survive the reformations of Dimitri's forefathers; I like this idea and I'd like to run with it somehow in a thread! The exact hows and whys are something we can hash out together? Maybe Byleth is actively curious about Jeralt's origins; maybe it comes up in your character's research for some reason. I think it would be kind of cute for this to turn into a thing where House Eisner is re-established as a noble house (although Byleth himself does not particularly want to be a nobleman and will conduct himself accordingly).

the ashen demons; ⟡ SAVED YOU THE TEARS

Characters:

Open to all!

Shipping:

Not required.

I'm happy to play my Byleth against other Byleths! I can run with all sorts of scenarios if you're interested in that: siblings, distant relatives, Rhea had a spare body in her basement, etc. You can reach out if you'd like to plot this out.

If you'd like to jump right into this on a meme, my preference would be to simply cast my Byleth as your Byleth's twin brother and rename mine to Beleth. In this situation, Beleth did not experience complications at birth and therefore does not have the Crest of Flames or any mind conversations with Sothis. He is instead a fairly ordinary bearer of the Crest of Seiros and takes after Jeralt in terms of personality. He generally gets along with Byleth and is uncomplicated as a person. Never fuses with Sothis and therefore retains his dark hair after the timeskip.

the beginning and the end; ⟡ FALLING DOWN FROM YOUR EYES

Characters:

Open to all!

This is fairly common in the fandom, but I'm a sucker for it anyway; I'd love to play out a scenario in which Byleth has been looping through time and going through every route, and retains his memories through every time loop. Let's say that he can't interfere with the contents of the route due to destiny or whatever... or we could actually just write our own canon-divergent golden route? On my end, I'm pretty interested in angst for this, in the specific flavor of knowing that sometimes people die and he can't save them, but I could also be persuaded to play out the flavor of romantic angst where he watches Dimitri marry and fall in love with other people in other routes over and over (but would prefer to work towards a happy end for him in this particular case, since I'm not interested in angst for angst's sake). I'm welcome to whatever you may want to bring to this concept as well. Let me know what you think!
