Just finished my Blue Lions Run: Byleth/Dorothea - Not much to say here; of all the female characters I had on my army, I just liked overall how she interacted with everyone. Would be happy to see her paired with any of her A Supports (she has 2 in the Blue Lions, which I think is more than usual?) Dmitri/Flayn - I made a push for this one at the end. Their supports are both cute in regards to Flayn's cooking "skills" (something referenced very sweetly in the ending text), but also in the overall themes of how one deals with the past and the dead, a main theme of the route. Very satisfying. Felix/Sylvain - A surprise; I don't know if their ending is different in Azure Moon than in Crimson flower; it's definitely said that they met more than once. For any Americans out there, the ending seems in part a reference to Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, a touch this history buff appreciated. Dedue/Ashe - Another Surprise. Turns out in this one, Ashe turns down knighthood to fight prejudice against Duscur by opening an inn specializing in Duscur Cuisine, with Dedue working sponsoring the venture as a friend and partner. Thought it interesting how Ashe ended up taking after his birth family all along after his other supports, but given that their A support did actually make me tear up a little at the end, was actually quite happy with this. Annette/Mercedes - I suppose I should have expected this. Nice, but I had been kind of hoping to pair Mercedes with Sylvain, as I liked their support chain quite a bit. Hilda/Cyril - Not much to say on this one. My Dragon Riders were a great tag team, and I didn't want them to stop. Ingrid/Seteth - I didn't hate it, but definitely the least favorite of the pairings I got. Kind of wanted her to end up with Ashe.
