Fayesilque is the femslash ship between Faye and Silque from the Fire Emblem fandom.
Canon[]
Shadows of Valentia[]
Faye is an archer from Ram Village and Silque is a wandering cleric in Mila's service. They are both recruitable members of the deliverance in Fire Emblem Shadow of Valentia.
During their time together in the deliverance they can share support conversations which begins with Silque approaching Faye with the hopes they can become friends, as there are few other women in the army. However Faye turns her down, claiming she would rather spend her time being near Alm than standing around gossiping. Silque is left confused by the encounter but later tries talking with Faye again, this time proposing that if Faye is not interested in gossip then they can just talk about Alm. Faye once again turns her down, now claiming that talking about Alm isn't as fun when he's not around. Dishearten, Silque stops trying to talk with Faye.
Some time later Faye approaches Silque, much to her surprise. She apologies for being rude to Silque, noting that once Silque stopped trying to befriend her she actually missed her company. Silque is delighted that they can finally talk and while Faye teases her for being a gossip, she still wants to know know more about Silque.
Fire Emblem Heroes[]
Faye and Silque appeared on the valentines theme banner in 2020, with both units referencing each other. 'Faye: Drawn Heartstring' and 'Silque: Selfless Cleric' both mention getting flowers for each other. In Silque's LV. 40 conversation she talked about when she and Faye had been spending time together during the festival she had seen a stall that sold sugar sculptures. There was only one left and despite the fact that Faye clearly wanted it, she gave it Silque. Silque told her she'd treasure it for rest of my life but Faye told her it was better to eat it while it was fresh.
Quotes[]
- “I usually thank others who show me kindness, but sometimes I keep mum for fear of saying something odd. An example comes to mind. Recently Faye and I happened upon a stall that sold spun sugar sculptures. There was only one left. Though it was plain that Faye wanted it, she gave it to me. I thanked her profusely and without thinking I blurted out, "I'll treasure this gift for the rest of my life!" "I hope not," she snapped at me. "You'd be far better off eating it while it's fresh." I felt so foolish. Still, it's better to express one's feelings inelegantly than not to express them at all, don't you think? I shouldn't let fear stop me from giving thanks where they're due.”

Fanon[]
Fayesilque is a small ship within the Fire Emblem fandom. Faye is not a particularly popular character among the Shadow of Valentia cast, mostly due to her obsession with Alm despite a main aspect of Valentia's story being Alm and Celica's love for each other. Because of this Fayesilque is often used as a way for the fandom to "fix" Faye's characterization and pair her with someone who could reciprocate her feelings. Faye's crush on Alm is often ignored or severely downplayed in fanworks and a lot of fanart references their valentines outfits from Fire Emblem Heroes. Fayesilque is rivaled by Falm and Celifaye.
On AO3, it is the the most written for ship for both Faye and Silque, and the 6th most written ship for Shadows of Valentia as a whole.
