So, after my month-long dive into the vast rabbit hole of Fire Emblem fanfiction, I found about five dozen stories covering games across the whole franchise that a lot of people recommend - well, on blogs and message boards, anyway. Fanfiction.net and AO3 bookmarks are mutable and don't require much engagement, so I based these selections on what people were actively discussing (at or around the time they read them).
Note: These are not my personal recommendations on which Fire Emblem fanfics I consider my favorites, and a story's placement on this list should not be construed as an endorsement. This is a generalized, not-at-all scientific list of stories covering a wide range of topics. Consider it a "fanfic starter pack" for those of you interested in engaging with and/or understanding the Fire Emblem fandom.
If you've read any of the stories on this list, then I encourage you to share your opinion by commenting on and/or sharing this post.
