    Summary

    This story is a mostly canon compliant retelling of the events of the Crimson Flower route of Three Houses, with the main difference being a focus on (female) Byleth's internal thought processes that seeks to make her more than just a silent protagonist. I particularly want to highlight the influence of Sothis, and throughout this work I will characterize Byleth as a fusion, rather than as just Byleth, allowing us to explore the internal conflicts Sothis faces as she in effect wages war upon what is in theory a Church dedicated to worshiping her. I also want to make an effort to better show the reactions of the entire cast of students and faculty to the events of the plot, rather than just the core Black Eagles students. I intend to incorporate both the Sothis and Edelgard S supports with Byleth into its story in some form (I will of course have to modify them to be compatible with each other), but this is mostly a Gen fic. The ending will also diverge to a degree from the original ending, and I intend to cover the post-canon struggle with Those Who Slither in the Dark.
