  Summary

  Sylvain is dating the most eligible bachelor in Faerghus, and living his best life -- aside from all the existential dread about his future, that is. There are just four rules to their relationship; easy enough, right?

  Rule one: They have to be faithful to each other, no matter how much Sylvain misses burying his face in a nice pair of tits.

  Rule two: They have to come to each other first if they're struggling with their myriad mental health issues, instead of even worse self-destructive vices.

  Rule three: They have to meet at least three times a week, preferably more -- nightmares notwithstanding.

  And finally their fourth and most important rule: They do not, under any circumstances, ask about each other's trauma. Who wants to get bogged down with all that lame shit anyways? It's not like it'll fester until Sylvain has a panic attack when he receives a letter from his father telling him to deal with his abusive brother; and oh by the way can he retrieve the family fucking heirloom from him too while he's at it?

  Nah. That would never happen. Better to just have his guts rearranged by his boyfriend again instead of thinking about it.

  Summary

  Sylvain and Dimitri were friends once, Sylvain insists. It's been awhile since they've seen each other, and the prince is so damned uptight all the time now. What gives?! Someone should tell that guy how to loosen up. Someone like him.

  A bottle of wine, a little rule-breaking, and some bro time. Just dudes being bros. What could go wrong?

  Summary

  A continuation of the first two Parts in the series, we go through Radiant Dawn from the river crossing and back again, with stops in Seliora and a very, very bloody senator camp.

  Now that Haar has allowed himself the joy of being together with Ike, he is plagued by his violently resurfacing trauma as they march further into Begnion and he's faced with the senators that perpetuated it. Much of this Part deals with processing his PTSD, and it's - as you might expect with any sort of trauma - a messy affair. Thankfully Ike continues to be a pillar of support, although his own flaws - namely his blind faith in his own strength - later become apparent in a gruesome clash with the Black Knight as they flee the Central Army.

  Please mind the tags; there are some very violent passages, some very unfortunate implications implied, and yes, someone dear to us is lost by the end of the fic :( (NOT Haar or Ike!)
