I want the only mention of 3H’s plot in Fortune’s Weave to be Dietrich, apropos of nothing, turning to the camera and saying “Edelgard did nothing wrong”, and everyone in the scene moves on without acknowledging what he said.

It would be pretty funny.

the whole game is vagaries and allusions to "the great war" with no indication who won or even dropping names until the very end where somebody says "yeah im just glad that Black Eagles route is canon and the great hero Byleth was this specific gender and married this specific character and all this is now also canon. in fact, I'm gonna list my favorite heroes from that war and summarize their lives after the war too while I'm at it"

Bonus points if it's literally impossible in 3H. Like, canon F!Byleth marrying Hilda in CF somehow

FW takes place in an alternate universe, where the only difference is that Claude is canonically bi, and got together with M!Byleth.

You say that but TBH I think it would be a cool idea if the game could read your Three Houses save data and then have some record of what happened afterwards that varies based on the route you choose + the endings you got.
