Summary
After a moment of just gazing, she gestures to him. She invites him close to her. “Come, sit down with me. Keep me company? You can tell me more about hunting in Faerghus, if you’d like. You’re obviously very passionate about it.”
It, among other things, he thinks, as he tries not to move faster than at a respectable gait to her side. They sit down together, they pay attention to each other.

Summary
Once, she asked him if this stamina was another simple symptom his Crest. He had taken a handful of her breast and hummed, and then lined her hips up with his and settled his head on the curve of her neck where he said to her, gently, “Partially.”
“Partially?”
“It is true that my Crest has bestowed upon me a great deal of abnormal strength. But most of this—most of this is how I feel for you. How much I desire you. Do you understand that?”

You stay to be all right by Lavender_Seaglass

Summary
She squirms as he wraps her in the fur he brought and embraces her. She is not ostensibly fighting, and her passivity is almost worse than resistance would have been, tugging at his heart with nailless fingers, with blunted barbs that he cannot latch to, let alone encourage to snag into him, to make and stake a claim anywhere upon him. It is an unsettling mismatch.
To show her that he is not mad at her, he loosens his grip upon her while keeping her within his arms, and he murmurs to her, “What troubles you, my little princess?”
She does not answer immediately. She watches him rub her hands for friction, to kindle within them an ember of warmth. She is quiet for a long time.
But then, finally, when he keeps her close and there are no reprimands coming, he can feel her little body go slack against him.
“Do you hate me?”

(Or, Dimitri's daughter runs away. Though he has an idea of where she might be, it's not because he is such a great parent, but because he recognises a pain he failed to protect her from.)

What Anyone Deserves by Lavender_Seaglass

Summary
She leans in towards him, and, with no sign of agitation—or any hint, really, of what she is about to broach—she asks him, “What payment do you seek from me? My blade is yours already, so I do not understand what it is you want from me. Unless it is my body you want to have?"
For a moment, Dimitri cannot understand what she has just said to him. He has never heard her joke. Nor has he ever heard her say something so—incomprehensible. Then, seeing his utter confusion, she gestures from her breasts, to her groin, to the pale length of her thighs. Her skin is visible through the pattern of her tights. It looks so tender, he can only imagine how soft, how warm—

(Or, Dimitri wants to share a meal with Byleth, and Byleth has been taught there is no such thing as a free meal.)

All the things in a broken mirror by Lavender_Seaglass

Summary
Dazed, and slow, but she was alive and fidgeting, not quite trying to pull away from him, but he was still afraid she would want to anyway. To distract himself from this piteous fear, he removed his cloak, laid it down for her, and helped her settle herself down onto it.
She whimpered and touched her head. She grimaced. She was biting her lip and murmuring to herself, and he could think of nothing to soothe her with his headache a sharding intrusion into each and every one of his thoughts, though the sheer cold of the air should have been enough to relieve some of this insistent, flat suffering.
Only because she looked at him did he realise that she did not blame him. Though they were in a part of Faerghus at the time, and he should have been more vigilant, more careful, more anything. He should have been better. He should have protected her.

A Grey Mist in the Morning by Lavender_Seaglass

Summary
Rolling over, her sight roves in the grey morning light washed into their bedroom. She searches, searches, and is about to sit up when she sees him. Unexpectedly, his large, scar-spangled body stands before the looking glass. He gazes into it with one hand on his head making slow furrows along his hairline as he—searches for something, too? He leans close enough that he could kiss his reflection.

The Saviour King is ageing faster than his queen. That hasn't really meant anything, until now.

Summary
This night, while they lay with their limbs entwined and their desires verging towards coupling, he says to her, “If the goddess isn’t really… if Sothis really is sleeping, does that mean no-one is watching over Fódlan?”
Byleth shifts in their bed, pulling herself more closely to him. She nestles her head between his arm and side where there is warmth, and he will not see her face. Cannot.
“There’s you and me.”
“Besides us mere mortals.”
--
After learning what Byleth is, Dimitri still loves her the same. He is also eager to include her in the traditions of his country, knowing that she may not have many of her own. He does not consider, however, how dangerous Faerghus can be to those who don't know how truly wild it can be.
