Summary
Dimitri’s love language is gift-giving. Felix knows this. But lately the gifts have become more frequent, unexpected, and expensive. Felix accepts them, albeit with some reservations, but the question still festers in the back of his mind: why?

The Blue Lions reunite with Byleth and Dimitri after five years, as promised, but no one seems willing to engage with the beast Dimitri has become, save for Felix, the one who has seen it before – and the one who hates it most.

After the Kingdom army’s return from Derdriu, Garreg Mach is caught under a swath of rain.

Summary
A year after the war’s end – and after becoming the king’s right-hand man, advisor, and more – Felix has grown frustrated that Dimitri refuses to remove his eyepatch in anyone’s presence.
It wouldn’t be so bothersome if that didn’t include Felix, too. -

Summary
Kaidan isn’t sure what he’s looking for when he takes summer term off school and returns to his hometown, but a chance encounter with an old friend leads him in a new direction, down the path not taken.
The path he never thought he’d take.
The path that brings both of them back to the past they’d shared – and the one they hadn’t. -

Summary
Eleven years into King Dimitri’s reign, he contracts an illness which seems to defy both definition and treatment. He had never taken a queen and never secured an heir, having chosen instead to devote himself to his friend and lover, Felix. As Dimitri’s illness progresses and his health deteriorates, though, Felix must face exactly what such a decision means.
Or: seventeen days until winter begins in Faerghus. -

Summary
When the Blue Lions reunited with their lost prince and found him a bloodthirsty beast hellbent on revenge, Felix had been vindicated for what he knew all along: the man was a wild boar bearing a human face, only now divested of his regal façade. Even now, on the eve of the assault on Enbarr, Dimitri had made his apologies to them all, made his noble proclamations, made his pretty rallying speeches, and still hid himself away in his tent.
Felix saw through it all.
Felix knew him better than the rest of them.
And yet, there was something buried deep beneath the anger and frustration – but on whose part? -

Five events that shaped him.

Summary
Shepard and Kaidan steal little moments throughout their journey amongst the stars. After all, as they say, life’s about the journey, not the destination.
And if you’re lucky, the journey leads you home. -

Summary
With the war over and the Reapers destroyed, the galaxy spends all its time healing.
The more time Shepard spends stuck in his hospital bed, the more impatient he gets.
And Kaidan hasn't built up much resistance, either. -
Tags
Summary
They say the devil is in the details. Mission reports, protocol, the chain of command… all minor details in a story so much larger than either one of them could possibly fathom.
Just minor details.
Just like those damn fraternization regs. -

Summary
When Kaidan had asked for a moment of Shepard’s time at that little café on the Presidium, he had not expected to hear what he wanted, but he had hoped for it.
When Shepard had turned him down, Kaidan had received his answer, and he had enough sense to quit while he was ahead.
Shepard had thought it through. He had weighed all his options. He had made the right decision.
So why does the twinge in the pit of his stomach now feel distinctly like regret? -

Summary
Commander Shepard is an idea, a symbol, an image – a legend bearing the weight of an entire galaxy.
John Shepard is an obligation, a weakness, a flaw – a man whose sole purpose is to masquerade as the story.
And Kaidan Alenko is the only man capable of removing that mask. -

Summary

Summary
Every Alliance soldier is issued dog tags upon induction. There's absolutely nothing extraordinary about the little pieces of metal – at least, there shouldn’t be.
A story of two tags, the man who wears them at all times, and the man who loathes the sight of them.
