    Summary

    “You were right, Cait,” The words taste like ash in her mouth, but she pushes through. “Powder’s gone. But I can make this right. If you get Jayce to fix the gauntlets, I can do this myself. No one else needs to get hurt.” Except for Vi, of course, but if she had the choice to take the pain of others onto herself, she’d make that choice every single time. It’s not even a thought to her, anymore. Just an instinct.


    For the Vi fans who were underwhelmed by her season 2 presence. What if she was given the writing she deserved? And what if we were given the Vi-focused season we were promised?

    Vi-centric partial retelling of season 2, but a little to the left*.

    *Okay maybe a lot to the left. This fic will include some canon divergences, such as:

    • Caitlyn and Vi argue over using the Grey
    • Ekko and Vi talk Jinx down together
    • Zaun is liberated
    • Act 3 ends much differently (but perhaps there is a sacrifice all the same)

    Summary

    Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.

    In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.

    Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.

    But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

    Summary

    PLEASE SEE LAST CHAPTER FOR UPDATE. THIS WORK IS ON HIATUS. THIS WORK WILL BE COMPLETED AT A LATER DATE AFTER DELETION. WE'LL SEE YOU SOON!

    The first time Byleth bathes his blade in the blood of his students, he knows there has to be a better way. But in what has to be at least two decades of traveling back and forth through time, he hasn't found a way to save everyone -- yet.

    This time, though, it's going well. He's made it almost all the way through the war without losing anyone he couldn't get back. Unfortunately, a long-lost sister was one variable he did not account for, and time is running out to re-balance the equation.

    Multiple-POV; the culmination of several arcs that explore a world where Byleth's time travel is more than just a re-written save file. For full context, it's best to read the several prequels, or at least LACRIMOSA.

    Summary

    After almost being assassinated by the Church at Enbarr, Edelgard reassesses the state of the Empire. She needs to reduce how many fronts of war she is fighting. Obviously, the logical choice is to get into a political marriage with Claude von Reigan, the least hostile of her enemies.

    Claude doesn't know why Edelgard is proposing this marriage, but it can't be because she genuinely wants an Alliance. Determined to ferret out her true intentions, Claude tentatively agrees, ready to exploit whatever weaknesses he finds while negotiating.

    But there are forces at play which will force them to come together, whether they fully trust each other or not...

    Summary

    A mere month before the royal tour- in which the crown princess of Khura'in will visit each of the seven realms before she ascends to the throne- Nahyuta Sahdmadhi, royal regent, has a problem. The princess, already troublesome at the best of times, has become obsessed with tales of the Jackdaw- a notorious outlaw who has taken the realms by storm, his exploits inspiring an entire cottage industry of trashy penny dreaduls.

    Still, so long as Nahyuta can keep the public from finding out that their future queen is a devoted fan of a violent vigilante- in fact, so long as he can avoid the topic of said vigilante altogether- everything should be perfectly fine.

    Avoidance of the Jackdaw, however, is about to become nigh impossible.

    Summary

    Lorenz bears two crests.

    This can open an entire world of possibilities for his future, but more intriguing are the pieces of his past-- his father's decisions, his long-absent mother's messages to him, the long whispering darkness that he's only beginning to understand, and the newfound struggle of living in such a way. As pieces begin to fall into place and questions are answered, Lorenz is faced with a decision: who is he, and what will he do?
