Summary
Reinhard couldn’t help but recall a conversation he had with Subaru long ago, when Reinhard still felt moored in his own mind, and Subaru’s presence didn’t affect him beyond the joy of seeing a treasured friend. He had admitted to him wholeheartedly of the perceived dangers of having someone be that important to you. The impracticality of it all coupled with the self-centered demands it would bring about, voluntary or not.
And now look at him. Was he always doomed to fail in the most wonderful way possible?
----
Arriving late at night to report to Lady Felt on the rise in witch cultist sightings, Reinhard ends up sharing a quiet moment with Subaru, reflecting on the struggles of their freshly started courtship and the fears he has.

Summary
There's a lot that Subaru has had to take in stride being dropped into a foreign fantasy world and dying three times in his first day. And yet this somehow felt like the most incomprehensible part to him.
"So believe me. We can maybe fix this up together, okay? I bet who you really are after was just strolling past us nearby and the signals were just a little skewed. It's a simple mistake!"
---
ReinSuba Soulmate AU where Reinhard discovers that Subaru is his soulmate, and he joins the Felt Camp. Subaru struggles.

Summary
You don't like talking to people. You don't like how they look at you like you did something wrong by just existing. The man in your closet is different. He doesn't think what you say is odd, because he doesn't know what you say. You don't know what he says either. It's perfect. especially when you can't handle the pressures of the end of the world.

I love the depiction of the language barrier in this. The give and take of their growing relationship around it is so engaging.

Summary
To love oneself just because someone asked it of you... it's far too unrealistic, isn't it?
___
''Alright, I'll leave it be then. However, try to not push yourself too hard today, okay? I'll be seeing you at dinner'' Emilia departed with the gracefulness of nobility, her dream-like beauty appearing ever pure, all in contrast to him.
For a moment, he wanted to reach out, hold onto that delicate yet strong hand, and stop her.
Why? There was nothing he wanted to tell her. Nothing he could say.
___
Set in the time skip between Arc 4 and Arc 5, changing it so the duration was of two years instead of one. Subaru, to nobody's surprise, spirals really, really badly and he is terrible at coping. Though he sure is incredible at lying, isn't he? I wonder for how long he can keep it up...

A very good exploration of Subaru's trauma and how it affects his relationships with those around him.

Summary
It’s not any easier. It’s harder. It’s worse. Noctis feels for that magic again, to let it build and swirl and flow, he tries to breathe it in and swallow it down and be one with it. It’s in his veins, in his head, in his heart, he was born with it, and so it should come to him as naturally as breathing.
He tries to push it through Ignis, from his own fingertips and into the warm skin in his grasp, the way he had with Gladio. It hurts to even try, it steals his breath away. And nothing happens.
| Noctis pushes himself too hard when he finally gives Ignis and Gladio access to his magic.
