2STEP EIGHT: CHARACTER UPDATES
After going through this and writing everything down, I realized how many changes between the canon backstories and the rewrite there were. I decided to list them all here. If there are no changes, I'll write 'same as canon' or something along those lines. I'll also include a few NPC units such as Sumeragi, Mikoto, and Arete with their updates. The new spouses will be added as well at the bottom.
Note: All child units are stated as 'same as canon' but that is when you keep in mind the changes made to Heirs of Fate. Instead of having Deeprelams, there's a time skip. With that small difference, everything else is the same, but the children grew up with their parents instead of alone in the Deeprealms. Just something to remember.

And there you have it! That's how I would have written Fire Emblem Fates' story if I were on the writing team!
This was a very fun project to do and I'm glad that I did it. I hope that you guys enjoyed it along the way.
Now, here's hoping that there aren't any plot holes in it. I finished up Revelation at 1:45 AM, about when I'm posting this story. Hope I didn't make any mistakes in my late night shenanigans.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed! If you're coming here from some other place on the internet and not because you read my stuff since I write it, I advise you to check out my other Fire Emblem story, Demon of Desire. It (I hope) has a better story than Fates, so maybe you'll enjoy it.
That should about wrap it up. I hope that you guys liked my interpretation of Fire Emblem Fates. This ended up being 58 pages and 19,276 words. Damn. Didn't know I could type that much up in the span of four days. Combined with my work on my regular story updates, I've typed around 27k words the past four days. Wow. I have too much free time and need a social life.
Well, time for me to sleep. If it's as late for you as it is for me, go to bed. If not, go out and have a good day. I'll see you guys later!
