    Summary

    Ferdinand is sent away from Ehrenfest to marry Detlinde, the future interim Aub of Ahrensbach. Bound to support a woman who mirrors his greatest tormentor in both manner and appearance, he believes his life is over.

    Until one day, an attempt is made on his life.

    During his fight for survival, he uncovers Georgine’s sinister plot and manages to send out a desperate request for aid. What he doesn’t anticipate is that it would come in the form of a book-obsessed gremlin from the land of Leidenschaft, whose arrival turns his world into a whirlwind of chaos, invention, and unstoppable rampages.

    Summary

    The mana organ in humans led to the growth of wings. Their size was proportional to the size of the mana organ and only those of sufficient mana quantity were actually able to fly with them. Those, who could not fly by the end of the Royal Academy could not stay in noble society, lest they brought the overall mana pool down.

    Instead of mana sensing, a change in color of the wings from that of their birth season to their own occurred during puberty. Therefore, a suitable match was usually made just by comparing the size and color of their wings.

    The growth of wings in children required tender and attentive care from their parents. That was why those with the Devouring often ended up with ingrown wings, masking them in commoner society.

    ---

    Myne is such a hidden devourer that gets forced into noble affairs by the Zent's new law to contract all newly discovered devouring girls. Ferdinand is the unlucky one who has to sign with her. But with enough education and if she manages to secure a proper engagement before her graduation she may avoid the fate of a mistress (or worse).

    Unfortunately, convincing a boy who is as highly manaed as her to properly marry a commoner will not be easy.

    Summary

    At the moment where the twist of their thread would be broken, Lestilaut blurts out the one thing that kept the last few fibers clinging on.

     

    In retrospect he should have known that anything involving both Rozemyne and ditter was never going to turn out like he expected

    Summary

    A story in which the children of the Lion and the children of the Schmill stand together against Dunkelfelger’s unreasonable demands.
    What if—before returning from the time leap—other duchies had pointed out that game of ditter, the one where Rozemyne was wagered? I thought about it… and realized that even Wilfried and Charlotte alone would have been more than capable of handling it.

    Summary

    Bound by tradition and a contract signed in her absence, Rozemyne is taken to Dunkelfelger—not as a prisoner, but as the victorious duchy’s first wife-to-be.

    Thrown headfirst into a world of fervent and overzealous warriors, so many new and unfamiliar faces, and overwhelming martial culture, Rozemyne must navigate her new life and solidify her faction as the future first wife to the heir of Dunkelfelger under the watchful eyes of a duchy that prizes Leidenschaft, the subordinates of fire, and… Cuococalura!?

    It’s time for operation mehren on a stick!

    Summary

    A prank from Liebeskhilfe messes with Rozemyne's and Lestilaut's threads. What should have been a day as any other during Rozemyne's third year at the Royal Academy turns out to be very different.

    As Rozemyne wakes up several heads taller, several times stronger, with pants she had not worn in ages, Lestilaut wakes up in the weakest and smallest body he could imagine. And the nightgown he was wearing definitely felt like a dress.

    Summary

    This is the story of the formation of LesRoze.

    This is a what-if story where after losing the bride-stealing Ditter, Rozemyne marries Lestilaut of Dunkelfelger as his first wife. Ferdinand goes to Ahrensbach and his life is threatened, but he is rescued and has already returned to Ehrenfest. The story begins about a month after Lestilaut and Rozemyne are united by the stars.

    It's not a white marriage, but the two still have some awkwardness between them. They drift apart over small things... It's a happy ending in the end. This is the story of how Les Roses was formed. If you can't accept anyone other than Fermai, please feel free to go back to your browser.

    Lestilaut is the one who works hard throughout the story.

    Summary

    Original Author's Summary:

    This is my first time writing Dunkelfelger. The story seems to be connected to KenHan, but overall, Lestilaut is so cool that it's a problem! That's the story.
    It's written in three first-person pieces, like before Hannelore entered the academy (I think Hannelore's point of view is that of a student at the academy...).

    1P → Hannelore

    2P → Kentrips

    3P → Lestilaut

    Summary

    This time, Shuu had been reincarnated in Yogurtland with Urano. Will she be able to reign in our resident gremlin, or will she partake in the rampage?

    [Still a work in progress, but I posted it now so, I won't be too lazy and leave it in draft forever. I will edit, when I find the motivation. Shuu is a female character here. This diverges from canon so just trust the process. Lmao.]

    Summary

    If there is anyone who enjoys a rags to riches underdog story, it's the ditterheads, or that's the creed that Rozemyne puts all of her trust in when she explains to Lestilaut why she refused. So she sits him down like a civilized person and tells him the truth.
