Falm is the het ship between Alm and Faye from the Fire Emblem fandom.

Canon
Alm is the main character (alongside Celica) of Fire Emblem Gaiden and it's remake Fire Emblem Shadow of Valentia. Faye is a playable character that only appear in Shadow of Valentia.

Faye and Alm both grow up in Ram Village (alongside Gray, Tobin, Kliff and Celica). During their childhood they were all friends. Alm and Celica were very close but at first Faye believed they were cousins. One day some knights led by Slayde appear near the village and attack Faye. Thanks to Alm ,Faye dodge the attack. Mycen (Alm's grandfather) finally defeat Slayde who escaped with his troops. Since the knights were trying to capture Celica she is forced to leave the village. The others kids of the Ram Village are trained by Mycen to fight with a sword.

Several years later, Alm decide to left the village to join the Resistance alongside Tobin and Gray. Faye propose to go with them and Alm can accept. During the adventure they have a support conversations. In the first one, Faye say that she killed their enemies for Alm and he is worried for her. In their second support say that she could sleep the last night because she excited since Alm touch her hand by giving the bread. Alm is worried about how the war affect her mind. In their last conversation express that she dream that Alm will return with her at Ram Village but admit that she know that it will never happen.

If Faye was't recruited by Alm she will stay at Ram Village. If Celica visit the village Faye can join her army. Faye say that she is glad to see Celica after all these years. She expresse that she felt lonely when Alm and the others left without her. She say that she wanted to go after Alm but didn't since she would probably have been killed by some beast.

After the war Alm marry Celica and became king of the united Valentia. Faye returns to Ram Village. She marry a man who agree to be with her despite her obsession for the king.

Fanon
Falm is a controversial pairing. Faye herself is a controversial character: a part of the fandom hates her and considere that she is a bad character that only care for Alm while a other part considere that she is a nice girl traumatized by the war and became obessed with Alm because of this. Even for the person who want to ship Alm with someone else than Celica, Faye is often considered to by a bad option since her "love" for Alm is showed in the game to be bad for her. However some fans consider that this paring could have work in a game with different paired endings. This ship mains rivals are Celicalm and Clairalm on Alm side and Kliff x Faye, Silque x Faye on Faye side. Because of her one-sided crush on Alm, Faye is often considered to be a member of the Catria archetype (alongside Catria and Cordelia).

Most fanfictions show Faye having one-sided feeling for Alm (like in canon). It's usually shown tragically. Some others show Faye losing her feelings for Alm and usually falling in love with someone else.

Falm is popular in NSFW content.

Many memes show Faye as a crazy yandere for Alm. In those memes she is depicted as hating Celica.
