    Summary

    “Why doesn't she like me, Gaoshun?” Jinshi asks, head dropping to the table with a groan of despair.

    A moment of silence. Then, diplomatically, “Perhaps you are not using the correct approach.”

    Summary

    “No,” she says - and he stops mid-sentence.

    He stares. “Pardon?” he says lightly, even though he’s reeling from the fact that some hired hand just interrupted him, as if she knows better than someone who has had years of battle and tactical training fit for a literal prince of a warring kingdom.

    (AU where Byleth never came to Garreg Mach, TWSITD resurrect Nemesis and the Ten Elites, and nobles must meet the men that afforded them their privilege and power. A story featuring riots, reunions, and romance, plus an inconsequential toad because apparently why not.)

    Summary

    There was a distant look in her eyes, as if her mind was in another place… No, it was as if her mind was in another time. He stood up a little straighter, as the idea struck him. She had only mentioned that to him once, and yet he had seen its effects in the emotion hiding behind her eyes many times on the battlefield. It seemed impossible, but Byleth was quite the impossible person.

    “My friend,” he said quietly, “how many times have we been here before?”

    The ability to turn back time is a powerful thing.

    Summary

    She wanted revenge, and the newly crowned King of Almyra was the only one who could grant her that chance.
    It was meant to be a simple thing, over and done with, and yet here Byleth found herself pulled into a web of politics and intrigue in the Almyran court.

    And all too gladly giving away her heart to a man who defines distrust before she realizes what she is doing.

    Summary

    Her father never approved of her skills at the card table - said it wasn't honest work. Not like killing people for money, she supposed.

    (Byleth has to hustle on the side to fund the Golden Deer's tea addiction; Claude finds the class checkbook and realizes that the math doesn't add up. A retelling of the GD route that slowly diverges from canon, starting with a game of poker.)
