    Summary

    Haru thought of her own room, pristine and well-decorated. She liked her rococo furniture, her airy patio and the charming pastoral paintings hanging on the walls. She wondered what would have happened if her tastes hadn’t ended up aligning with what young ladies of money and status were encouraged to like. She wondered what would happen if she uprooted the primroses and pansies from the pots on her patio and planted wild climbing vines instead, roses that hadn’t had the sharp thorns bred out of them, bushes of cooking herbs, planters of hemlock and nightshade.

    [ In which Haru talks to a father, and Sojiro talks to a daughter. ]

    Summary

    You can’t speak just yet to whether time—and age? experience? not that war or rulership have given you much of the latter, at least in the area of gardening—has made your thumbs any less brown, but the house in the Oghma Mountains is surrounded by so many growing things it hardly seems to matter. It sits at the edge of a forest, on the gentle lower slopes, and the people in the nearest town had all smiled to speak of it when they pointed the way for Hubert, the day you arrived. A number of them were old enough to remember what it had been like, years ago, in the warm and golden before, and to insist that it had not changed in the ways that mattered. It was still full of light. The air still smelled green.

    In which Edelgard keeps a garden, Hubert learns to fly, and those they leave behind refuse to be left behind.

    Summary

    You figure the kid’ll be long gone, but he’s only a few feet away, collapsed against a wall. He’s curled up, pale eyes so wide behind his fringe of dirty blond hair they almost look blank. His face flushes crimson, but the rest of his skin is ice-white and bloodless, sheened with feverish sweat. His cheeks are pitted, hollow.

    “Saints preserve us,” you mutter, rubbing your aching head.

    Alone and ill on the streets of Fhirdiad, Dimitri finds help from an unexpected quarter. Five years later, he returns to repay the favor.

    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?

    "She is beautiful, and she is perfect. It is foolish to say so, because the goddess herself says perfect beings cannot exist - but Cichol knows now she must have been wrong, because his daughter is perfect. They name her Cethleann. In the old tongue, it means 'light.'"

    Cichol, Cethleann, what they lost, and who they became.

    Tragedy never strikes once. There was the Tragedy of Duscur: the royal family, their knights and retainers, the firstborn sons of noble houses beloved to the crown. Then there was the Tragedy enacted on Duscur: men, women, children, old and young, armed and helpless.

    And then there were the tragedies that came next.

    People die, and summoners dance. Summoners die, and people dance. That’s the way it goes in Spira.

    The way it doesn’t go in Spira: an Al Bhed summoner and his atheist guardian dedicating themselves to the ultimate goal of a religion that has forsaken them both.

    Vanitas should have known from the first moment he saw Ven, that this summoner would be the end of him.

    Summary

    "You're certain?" she asks him, her knight, after a century, and she wipes subtly at her prickling eyes, though no tears have fallen. "Truly? After all this? After everything?"

    He tells her that he has never felt more certain of anything, that even though his mind is still burdened by questions, and may be forever, there is no part of it that feels a hint of doubt as to this. He will follow her to the ends of the world they know, and further still. Yes, after all this. After everything. Always.

    In the after, Zelda sets out with Link to chart the Hyrule wilds on her own terms—and remembers.

    Summary

    "Tomorrow is broken. Tomorrow is nowhere."

    A year has passed since the Phantom Thieves struck down a god and saved Tokyo from a terrible fate. But when people all over the globe begin to suffer from "Paranoia Syndrome," mysterious seizures which leave them contorted and unconscious, Akira Kurusu finds himself in the Velvet Room once more, demanding answers for the affliction. His investigation leads him to the Dead Sea, the rotted remnants of the cognitive world, where all things go to be forgotten - including someone the Thieves had thought to be long gone.

    Meanwhile, Akira's comatose body is found in the waking world, and his terrified friends suspect the worst. Akira's confidants struggle to learn the truth behind Paranoia Syndrome, while he and Goro Akechi approach a fated confrontation in the decaying shell of the cognitive Tokyo. As the sickness continues to spread, the Phantom Thieves must reunite and destroy the evil festering beneath the Dead Sea's waters, before its malignant influence unravels civilization forever.

    Easily the greatest Akechi redemption fic I've ever read. All the characters are perfectly written, with such great dialogue I can hear the actors speak the lines. I love this author's writing style. Well thought out and powerful
