Many Parts of One

by blumbrr

He is Dunban, Hero of the Homs, a disabled war veteran who fought for a future that everyone could choose for themselves, without the input of gods. His reputation of destroying countless Mechonis machines, for a fight he was unknowingly in the wrong for, does not focus on his actions, but rather his skill that allowed him to do it in the first place. A nickname like “Beast” fits him when his mind is driven to fight at all costs for his survival, as complicated as the reasoning is when the real enemy was the one fighting beside him for years and hidden inside the body of his sister’s childhood friend.How could he be a father?A character analysis on Dunban, his past, and the boy he adopts.

on the way home

by jellijeans

Melia cannot help but feel, when she sees Fiora run to Dunban, that there is a long story behind these two.She cannot help but feel like there is so much she did not know before that she suddenly knows when Dunban’s lip quivers, when he wraps his arm around his sister and leans his head overtop hers, when Reyn and Shulk share a nod and a gaze and a laugh, that there is a part of their common Homs lives that she will never understand, a deep sense of longing and belonging and loss and life that she will never be a part of.(Melia, and a series of moments.)
