Elyeden

Elyeden is the femslash ship between Elysia and Eden from the Honkai Impact 3rd fandom.

Canon
Elysia and Eden were both Flame Chasers of the Previous Era. Both are now dead, though they lived on as sims in the Elysian Realm.

Previous Era
As shown in Chapter 31, Elysia and Eden first meet after one of Eden's performances. Eden disguises herself and goes to the rooftop for fresh air. Elysia is surprised to see someone else outside, as the musical isn't over; there's still curtain call. Eden expresses her dislike for curtain calls, as it overshadows the light of the play. Elysia agrees, saying that seeing the characters as actors makes for an almost sad scene. She goes on to say that she wants to savor the romantic story some more before seeing it end. Eden questions her use of "romantic" to describe the tragic play, and Elysia explains that the end of a bud emerging from the ruins makes it a beautiful, hopeful ending to a sad story. This train of thought has the two agreeing on the beauty of humanity.

Still stricken by her unique point of view, Eden asks Elysia if she's some sort of actress or writer. Elysia says that she's just another viewer, and that these are her personal feelings about the play. Eden wants to talk with her more, and asks her out to dinner at a high-end restaurant. Elysia is surprised, but Eden assures her that she always has two seats reserved there. Elysia agrees, and introduces herself to Eden.

Long into their friendship, when Eden becomes a member of the MOTHS, she shows Elysia a design for her and her team's uniform. Elysia is delighted and encourages her to show the designs to the others, though Eden is hesitant. Elysia assures her that she's one of the MOTHs now, and that the people of this era grew up listening to Eden's songs. Eden then brings up how her music can no longer soothe people's pain after battle, even Elysia's. Elysia declares otherwise, but is moved to silence when Eden continues that her 'starlight' is no longer enough. Motivated to do more, Eden requests that she get the Meta-Morph surgery.

One night, Elysia meets Eden on a rooftop looking over the MOTH's base. Elysia asks about the meeting with Dr. MEI, and Eden assures her that she's been freed from suspicion. Elysia breezily replies that she understands the suspicions placed upon her, though asks what Kevin said. Eden states that he was silent throughout the entire meeting. Elysia accepts this, then asks for Eden's viewpoint. Eden says that she knows Elysia never betrayed anyone, and will no longer take sides. Elysia thanks her, and requests that they have a drink of wine.

After Elysia's death, Eden did not see a point of living on to the next era since Elysia once told her that her music belonged to that era.

Fanon
Elyeden is one of the most popular ships within the Honkai Impact 3rd fandom, and one of the most popular ships that involves the Flame Chasers. It's usually shipped alongside rather than rivaling other ships like Elymei and Elyponia. Elyeden is currently the fourth most popular Honkai ship on AO3, beaten by Kiamei and Sentihua. People like it for the dynamic of a bubbly girl like Elysia and a more subdued personality like Eden. It is also quite popular for its angst potential, as both have died.
