* AlternateUniverse: Quite a few things are different from the original story. For starters: Anonkos doesn't exist, nor does Valla, or Lilith's dragon powers, or MyCastle. Being unpossessed, Garon is a reluctant leader who lives off of IDidWhatIHadToDo. Hoshido is much closer to its real life counterpart of Feudal Japan, being extremely isolationist, xenophobic, and cripplingly traditional. Corrin went from AllLovingHero to [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl Hard Drinking,]] [[ReallyGetsAround sex loving]] BloodKnight [[JerkassWithAHeartOfGold with a Heart of Gold.]] The list goes on.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11962940/1/A-Brighter-Dark A Brighter Dark]]'' is a ''VideoGames/FireEmblemFates'' story by a fanfiction writer going by the username [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3371139/DeathDealer-Inc DeathDealer Inc]] that acts as a retelling of the Conquest storyline of the original game, while [[AlternateUniverse changing a few things]] about several of the characters and [[DeconstructionFic deconstructing]] a few others, most notably the main character, Corrin.
Beginning on May 24th, the story is still ongoing and is typically updated at least once a month.
!!''A Brighter Dark'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* ActionGirl: Obviously, as a Fire Emblem game a large number of the females in the story are capable of fighting. Special note should, however, be given to the main character Corrin, who while in the original story was merely a good swordswoman, is in this version much more eager for fighting and starts off much more skilled than in the original due to her frequent practicing against live aggressors trying to legitimately do her harm.
* BoisterousBruiser: Corrin is this, being exceptionally gifted in combat and not afraid to let people know about it.
* DeconstructionFic: The story has elements of this, altering a few characters (and entire countries') personalities to what they would logically be in that setting and then shows how events would realistically play out.
* ReallyGetsAround: By the first chapter, Corrin has reportedly slept with about half the guards in the Northern Fortress. Comes with being an all around HardDrinkingPartyGirl.
