Lucina/Severa is a popular pairing in the Fire Emblem Awakening and Fire Emblem Fates fandoms.
Canon
Awakening
Lucina and Severa are both from a future timeline where their parents failed to stop Grima and the world was lost to its destruction. They do not have a support conversation together, as there are few between female characters in Awakening. However, in the Hot Spring Scramble DLC they do talk and share their worries of not being able to live to up their parents' legacy while also reassuring the other of their worth.
In an alternate timeline shown in the Future Past DLC, Severa fights by Lucina's side in the final battle against Grima, offering to sacrifice herself so that Lucina may live and be able to perform the Awakening rite and seal Grima away. Once the war is over, Severa becomes a pegasus knight so that she can continue to serve under Lucina.
Fates
After the events of Awakening, Severa, Inigo and Owain travel to the world of Fire Emblem Fates at the request of Anankos. The three of them serve under the nobles of Nohr under fake aliases. In Severa's case, she becomes one of Camilla's retainers, and serves under the name "Selena".
While Lucina does not appear in the main story of Fates, an alternate version of her (from the Super Smash Bros. universe) can be summoned using the game's amiibo functionality. If Severa is present when fighting against Lucina, they will both be surprised by each other's presence, but Severa will realize that she is "not the Lucina [she] knew".
Fandom
The pairing is often paralleled with Cordelia's unrequited feelings for Chrom, with many fanworks commenting that Severa was able to do what her mother was unable to: be with the Exalt. This became an even more popular theme after the Future Past DLC showed Severa saying she intended to protect Lucina just like her mother had Chrom as one of his pegasus knights. For this reason, many fanworks are set in the Future Past timeline.
A good number of fan works feature either Frederick or Vaike as Severa's father. The former is Chrom's sworn knight and takes his duties very seriously, just as Severa does in the Future Past. The latter sees Chrom as a rival, but is extremely devoted to him as a friend.[1]
After Fates was released, some fanworks explored the possible relationship between "Selena" and the alternate Lucina that can be summoned, often favoring an angsty outlook.
