Fanon
The most popular version of this ship is the variant with female Byleth. This paring is quite popular since Sylvain is available in all routes and can be recruited in the early game if Byleth is female (even if the Blue Lions wasnt choosen). Due to the fact that in their paired ending (in non-Azure Moon routes) it's said that they have children many fanarts show them with their kids. Some fanarts represent them in their summer alts from Fire Emblem Heroes. Many fanfictions take place after the game and describe their life with their family. Some of them explore Sylvain traumas.

A popular joke in the fire emblem three houses fandom is that outside the Azure Moon route, Sylvain betrayed his family, kingdom and friends for a girl.

The version of this ship with male Byleth exist but is rare.
