A dark future has come to pass, and now the thirteen children of the original Shepherds have gathered together to set the world to rights, by performing the Awakening to go back in time to stop their ruinous future. However, due to time travel, they get separated into different points in time within a timeline not their own. Deciding to stay separated, they pursue their plans to change the future on their own. For a certain masked dracoknight, this means murdering the man who killed his parents: Ylisse's Master Tactician, Robin.
Back in the past, Chrom and his group find who, unbeknownst to them, will become the famed Master Tactician of Ylisse. Together, they must tackle the challenges set before them on a road filled with danger, and prove the bonds they forge are much, much tougher to break than they originally thought.
Armed with the knowledge of the future, Gerome must make a choice: will he decide to kill Robin, or will he decide to ally himself with the amnesiac tactician, to attempt to prevent a future far worse than the one he came from?

Chrom is the proud co-owner of the Shepherds' Medical Firm. He enjoys the crazy-calm routine of Manhattan life and could not be any more excited for the holidays. He gets to spend it with his friends and family, after all. Anna is a protege student who just graduated from Psychology School early. She has been out of her home city of Manhattan for her entire college career and had two reasons to return home: to spend time with her mother and sister for the holidays, and the job offer to become the in-house psychologist to an up-and-coming medical firm. The offer is almost too good to be true, seeing as that most of her childhood friends work there and it is run by her old best friend. Chrom is overjoyed to see Anna once more and to have the opportunity to say the feelings he has had in his heart for many years. However, not everything could be perfect. That was not the only job offer Anna was given. Would she take the job with the Shepherds and be with her friends once more, or would she move all the way across the country and they lose her forever? What can Chrom do as a friend to make her stay? Find out in Fire Emblem - Awakening (Christmas AU Fic): The Best is Yet to Come.
