    Summary

    “Gideon,” said Palamedes with the patience of a saint, “the rules are the rules. It wouldn’t be fair if I changed them just for you. In a well ordered society—

    “It’s not a well ordered society.” Gideon knew where that was going, and she certainly didn’t have the time. She slapped a slip of paper onto the counter and said, “It’s secret santa.”

    And there lay the source of all of her problems: handwritten in a script so neat and precise it could have been printed, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. And everyone knew that Gideon and Harrow hated each other.

    So what if they had started taking smoke breaks together? So what if Harrow had helped her fold shirts just last week, in a store she didn’t even work in? So what if Harrow had laughed as the two of them did Jagerbombs at Palamedes’ Halloween party, the glint of her fake fangs flashing invitingly in the orange party lights? They hated each other. The two of them would both work in the mall until one of them inevitably strangled the other with her bare hands, and Gideon wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Except that lately, Gideon had started to like Harrow.

    Which made that slip of paper a fucking problem.

    Summary

    “My teacher,” Edelgard presses. “Whatever she said, I can handle, I assure you.”

    Professor Byleth clears their throat, but the discomfort is still clear on their face. “Hilda said the only way she would join the Black Eagle’s house… is in a world in which you were not in it.”

    or:

    Edelgard's uncle drags her to spend winter in Goneril territory to attend Shambhala business right before she is to start her year at Garreg Mach, thus meeting one Hilda Valentine Goneril. Shenanigans ensue.

    Summary

    “Nothing good can come from involving gods, Lady Edelgard.”

    Edelgard answered Hubert's sardonic smile with one of her own. “A wise phrase, and in my wisdom, I think the world could always use a few more heretics.”

    Edelgard turns her blade against heaven, the goddess by her side.

    Summary

    Edelgard speaks without thinking.

    “And when we’re old, we’ll complain about how much our bones hurt by the warm fire.”

    “What do you mean?” asks Byleth. They spin, to the rhythm of the song, feet stepping perfectly in sync.

    “Forgive me, my teacher. Please ignore my ramblings.”

    If only hope were fleeting, and not something that clung desperately to Edelgard’s very soul.

    Edelgard learns what it means to be happy.
