    Summary

    “I told you,” Dedue says, “five years ago, that you fit in here. That you weren’t pretending. Did you think I was lying? You don’t have to presume anything, Ashe. You are still…” He trails off. What is Ashe to him that Dedue can say out loud, into the stillness of the night as Ashe gazes up at him with luminous eyes? How can he say you are everything without handing his heart over completely?

    Summary

    Years after the war, Lorenz is invited to return to Garreg Mach to give a series of lectures to the next generation of students. He had not expected to run into his old friend, Ignatz Victor, while there... and he certainly had not expected to relive old feelings he had long thought behind him.

    Summary

    Hanneman looked worn, yet thoughtful. Like he didn’t want to think of such things but couldn’t stop himself. “Forcing a crest onto a person who was not born with one is a violent, and often deadly ordeal. Few survive the process, and those that do are left with scars that may never heal. I shudder to think of what would happen if someone were to rip away a crest that was inherited from birth.” 

    When an experiment goes very, very wrong, Linhardt is left on the verge of death.

    Summary

    "Collectively the Duscur refugees had no funds to speak of, and what little they did have was used to take care of the more recently born children.

    And Claude, despite his apparent initiative of total equity, had fled-- and he was the figure who had been reachable. Their Royal Grace, Byleth, was too well guarded and busy to be reached by a band of people with no money and no political power."

    Almost a year after the end of The Unification of Fodlan, Ashe and Dedue reunite by chance. Confronted by specters of the past and distant hopes for the future, they test the strength of the supposedly peace-filled world Claude and Byleth have created, and attempt to reclaim the home that was taken from the people of Duscur.

    Ch 6: "A Week in Gaspard" With their plan halted in its tracks, Dedue and Ashe take a week to ignore the circumstances of their arrangement before they decide whether they should, as they say "quit while they're ahead". A week in which they consider the lesser implications of stopping where they stand.
