Hubert/Bernadetta is a rarepair seen in Fire Emblem: Three Houses and the spin-off series Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. They have a canonical ending card in Three Houses that depends on player choices and in-game support points.
Canon
Both characters are in the Black Eagle House. You can only see their supports and ending card if you play the Crimson Flower route. They have 4 support levels, C, C+, B, and A. Their supports work through Bernadetta's original fear of Hubert, and culminate in her giving him an embroidered flower to wear. Hubert remarks that "It seems like something you would send to a female friend or someone you had romantic feelings for."[1]
Fandom
Fics involving this pairing continue the theme of Bernadetta working through her anxiety and agoraphobia issues. They also explore violence, and how the retainer relationship that Hubert has with Edelgard affects their courtship.
Some fics focus on Hubert developing a protective streak towards Bernadetta, especially when it comes to dealing with her abusive father.
Example Fanworks
Fanfic
- Adagio by Masdevallia.
- Hubert develops an instant crush on the recluse who tailors his clothes. That same girl has a crippling fear of him. Awkwardness ensues. (Modern AU)
- No one wants the object of their affections to run screaming from them in horror, especially not after proposing marriage.
- Mark Me Down As Scared AND Horny by Anonymous. Explicit.
- Hubert finds a piece of writing Bernadetta accidentally left lying around. He notices the villain turned love interest has some startling similarities to himself and much to his own surprise doesn’t mind. In fact it has some merit...
- Hubert always comes home. (To her?) Bernie does her best not to read into it.
- "The blame does not lie with you, Bernadetta. Some people are too stupid to be allowed to use the internet, let alone participate in a fandom. But worry not. People like them will disappear sooner or later, along with any impact they might have had."
- That night, all of her fandom enemies started disappearing. (Modern AU)
