History HoYay / FireEmblem

** Virion and Libra's supports have Virion gush a lot about how [[DudeLooksLikeALady delicately beautiful]] Libra is. Towards the end, Virion switches gears to praising how much of a {{Hunk}} he is, but his comments are no less appreciative in nature. It's really ot helped by Libra's unmarried ending flat-out stating that he was courted by '''both''' men and women.

*** Legault has asked Matthew if he was falling for him after he was asking him too many questions.

* For all of her {{jerkass}}ery, there is one person that Severa can't bring self to be mean to -- and that person is Noire. That's borderline RomantiTwoGirlFriendship material, yhere.

* While theoretically "anyone can be paired with anyone," only certain couples get paired endings, and that's usually pretty telling. A pretty obvious example is Ike in ''Radiant Dawn'': despite ShipTease throughout all of ''Path of Radiance'' between him and Elincia, he has paired endings with two characters, neither of whom are her, both of whom are male.
** If you're wondering, they're [[SingleTargetSexuality Soren]] and [[LittleBitBeastly Ranulf]].
** As for Elincia? Her relationship with Lucia went from RomanticTwoGirlFriendship in PoR to blatant lesbian ship tease in RD!
* The fortune telling in Awakening gives us a look into the hearts (minds?) of various characters you have supporting each other, with hearts going back and forth between them if they wanna make babies...even if they ''can't''. The fortune teller is a [[TheScrappy Scrappy]] for mocking this, asking two male characters what they're thinking ([[SelectiveSquick they're both men!]]) and considers LesYay to be a "rather ''extreme'' friendship". He's significantly [[{{Woolseyism}} more tolerant]] [[CloudCuckooLander (and zany)]] [[{{Woolseyism}} in the English script, however.]]

* For all of her {{jerkass}}ery, there is one person that Severa can't bring self to be mean to -- and that person is Noire.
* Say'ri and Tiki have some of this. Say'ri overall is borderline overprotective of Tiki that she scolded her for wandering off alone at one point. Tiki, on the other hand, really wants to be friends with Say'ri rather than for her to be her guardian, and despite Say'ri having a shorter livespan than Tiki, she still wants to keep her close.

*** Also Legault/Heath. Legault is probably as close as a Fire Emblem character is going to get to out-and-out Bi, but it's most overt with Heath.

*** In the Future Past 2, if you manage to save all of the kids, you get this cutscene where part of it involves Brady breaking into tears because he was worried ''sick'' about Owain when he decided to use himself as a decoy. [[HeartwarmingMoments Owain promised him that he'll never use himself as a decoy again.]]

** Owain and Brady's supports with Owain accepting Brady for the emotive person he is, and not having him change, like many other of Brady's supports, along with Brady being one of the few persons who does not make fun of Owain's heroic dramatizations of everything end up being very shippy. It does not help that Brady says he doesn't know what he would do if Owain died, and that he was worried about him and Owain promising Brady that he'll never use himself as a decoy again in their ending dialogue for the Future Past 2 DLC.

** Severa and Noire, too. Severa fixates quite a bit in a very cute necklace in the Harvest Scramble... [[spoiler: and by the end, she gets matching necklaces for Noire and herself.]]

** Inigo and Genome's support while it's obvious that Inigo is referring to going out with other chicks, its easily taken out of context as talking to Genome instead of the girls. Also, in the A support, Inigo cries about wanting to be "manhandled".

** Owain and Brady's supports with Owain accepting Brady for the emotive person he is, and not having him change, like many other of Brady's supports, along with Brady being one of the few persons who does not make fun of Owain's heroic dramatizations of everything end up being very shippy. It does not help that Brady says he doesn't know what he would do if Owain died, and that he was worried about him in their ending dialogue for the Future Past 2 DLC.

* For all of her {{jerkass}}ery, there is one person that Severa can't bring self to be mean to -- and that person is Noire.

** The Hubba Tester is a really weird example, since his readings are as likely to confirm whatever theories one might have about the character relations as they are to shoot them down, since the readings are random. Nontheless, it can create interesting results. Doubles as a potential source for IncestYayShipping for those that are into that.

** Just about everything Heather says in ''Radiant Dawn'' is a come-on toward another girl. It's even more blatant in the Japanese version, but the localization team [[HideYourLesbians in charge of hiding]] wasn't trying very hard.

* There's plenty of HoYay/Les Yay subtext in the ''FireEmblem'' games, most notably with Florina/Lyn (''Blazing Sword'') and Ike/Soren (''Path of Radiance''). Due to the emphasis on RelationshipValues to [[{{Shipping}} build trust]] between comrades, anyone can theoretically be paired with anyone. Yes, even [[NoYay Oliver/Reyson]], although that's... not exactly stretching it...

** Severa and Noire, too. Severa fixates quite a bit in a very cute necklace in the Harvest Scramble... [[sopoiler: and by the end, she gets matching necklaces for Noire and herself.]]

* Henry and Ricken's A support has Henry give a passionate and kinda scary DeclarationOfProtection to Ricken, saying he'd bloodily murder anyone who cut down Ricken, then quickly trying to change the subject when Ricken asks if he considers him a friend. And in their Harvest Scramble talk, Henry says he would've liked to see what Ricken looked like all grown up.

** While it's innocuous enough, Gerik also takes [[BadassBookworm Saleh]] out to dinner. He does no such thing for [[MagicDance Tethys]] or [[LadyOfWar Marisa]], his female supports.

*** They have more chemistry than most male/female couples.[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHntcEApte0 At B support, Severa starts calling Kjelle "my dear" and tries hard to make her more feminine, and at A Severa says Kjelle looks lovely]], and she [[LuminescentBlush keeps blushing.]]

**** Inigo swipes Gerome's mask of his face and notes he can't see why he wears it as Gerome is [[StupidSexyFlanders very handsome]].
*** Then their one between Donnel and Stahl. After telling Donnel about his old flame that spent the last festival dancing with his friend Donnel offers to dresses like a girl and dance with him in order for Stahl to get out his old "frustrations." Prior to that Donnel did tell Stahl he was a handsome man and he probably was a hit with the ladies.

** It has been commented on in the fan base that the relationship between Chrom and the male Avatar is on par with that of Ike and Soren. If the dialogue from the male avatar's supports were transplanted to the female avatar's, the S support would still make perfect sense. It really drives the point home when both Chrom and the Avatar state they are "Two halves of the same whole."

*** The chapter starts with Frederick declaring to Chrom that they should be like [[NoYay Victor and Vincent]]. Their conversations in-map consist of Frederick pleading with Chrom to flip a coin into a fountain, as he heard a legend that says they would be bonded for life if he did so. Chrom [[LampshadeHanging points out that sounds an awful lot like marriage]], and Frederick denies it, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint because marriage implies a union of equals and they're of different stations]]. Yet, Chrom can marry Sully, another knight under his service...
*** Inigo gets injured, so Gerome offers to help. Lots of statements like "Please be gentle!" and "I just never expected you to have such a strong, firm touch..." are made.

** It's a tradition among Fire Emblem yaoi fangirls to slash the red knight and the green knight. From Kieran/Oscar in "Path of Radiance" to Kent/Sain in "Blazing Sword", all the way back to Cain/Abel in the very first Fire Emblem, it can't be avoided. Until ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]'' just went and made the red/green pair of opposite genders.

** Just about everything Heather says in ''Radiant Dawn'' is a come-on toward another girl.

*** Don't forget about Legault/Heath. Legault is probably as close as a Fire Emblem character is going to get to out-and-out Bi, but it's most overt with Heath.

* Possibly lampshaded in ''Radiant Dawn''; early on Micaiah [[DeadpanSnarker mocks]] Sothe's hero-worship of Ike, describing the latter as "'hero' of the Crimean Liberation, leader of the Greil Mercanaries, and father of Sothe's children..."

*** Though Nephenee gets the brunt of it.

** It has been commented on in the fan base that the relationship between Chrom and the male Avatar is on par with that of Ike and Soren.It really drives the point home when both Chrom and the Avatar state they are "Two halves of the same whole."

*** Bonus for Gregor who dresses up Ricken like a girl and pretends to be dating to get another crazy girl off his back. Gregor constantly tells Ricken that he looks cute for a girl and wants to dance with him.
** Another between Donnel and Stahl. After telling Donnel about his old flame that spent the last festival dancing with his friend Donnel offers to dresses like a girl and dance with him in order for Stahl to get out his old "frustrations." Prior to that Donnel did tell Stahl he was a handsome man and he probably was a hit with the ladies.
