Celicalm

Celicalm is the het ship between Alm and Celica from the Fire Emblem fandom.

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Celica and Alm met as children. And though they did not know it at the time, they were both the rightful rulers of Zofia and Rigel respectively. Both had been hidden away for different reasons. They bonded quickly as children, often running off to spend time with each other, leaving their other friends in Ram Village behind. When a visitor took an interest in Celica's brand, Mycen had to take her away for her safety. Alm and Celica swore that they would meet again.

Years later, Celica and Alm both set out on separate journeys. They finally reunite in Zofia Castle. Though they are glad to see each other, Alm voices his intentions to invade Rigel and stop Emperor Rudolf. However, Celica believes they can reach a peaceful solution. Due to their different views, a rift forms between them, and they part on bad terms. In the Echoes remake, they're able to make amends via long-distance magic communication, courtesy of a kindly Sage.

They eventually reunite at the top of Duma Tower, in hopes of defeating the god causing the war, Duma. Celica was tricked by Duma into believing that Alm would be safe if Celica gave herself as slave to Duma. As a result, Alm is forced to pierce Celica with his sword to reawaken her, killing her. However, Mila revives Celica, and they both work together to kill Duma. After their triumphant endeavor, they take each other's hand in marriage, and valiantly end the war by reuniting each other's nations, Zofia and Rigel, to form the common nation of Valentia.

Fire Emblem Heroes
Alm and Celica are two of the heroes that the player can summon separately via the Breidablik using orbs to help Alfonse and his sister Sharena defending their kingdom Askr from the Emblian Empire. As in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Alm and Celica can develop a bond via support. They can raise their level of support in the following ranks: C, B, A and S if they stand together in the gameplay. Each has their variations: the normal, the resplendent, the Gaiden-themed and the Kingdom-themed. Although Alm does not have a dark-possessed variation, like Celica.

There was a special event for both of them, named Lovely Gifts, in which Alm and Celica were depicted as lovebirds and form a single unit instead of two separated units, with the theme of Valentine's Day on February 7, 2020, alongside its featured characters, and a number of related quests, which were available until March 6.

Fanon
Due to it being a canon ship, Celicalm has became one of the, if not, the most commonly shipped ship of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. On AO3, they are the most written ship in the Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia fandom, with over 100 works written. This ship beats other popular ships like Falm, Clairalm, Celimae, and Saber/Celica in terms of works written on AO3. Currently, no other ship involving Celica or Alm has nearly as much supporters as Celicalm. On Tumblr, Celicalm is one of the most popular ships.

A common trope for post-war fics and AUs about the pair has them adopting several cats, due to both Celica and Alm's affinity for the animals that hang out by the docks.
