    Summary

    Fogado deserved a marriage with someone who was every bit as bright and radiant as him. Someone who wouldn't bring him down, someone who Fogado deserves and wants and likes.

    So why- Alcryst wondered- was he willing to be with someone like him?

    Summary

    Sylvain's father always says that no one celebrates Solsticetide like Gautier. It was bad enough when Sylvain was growing up: Goddess forbid the margrave's heir fail to buy into the festivities. It's grotesque now. Two years ago the people of Faerghus were boiling mouldered barley and toasting rats over the coals for their Solstice night feasts, and that was if they were lucky. To pretend that five years of civil war haven't ravaged people and land alike, that the old hearty customs can go on just as they have for centuries, it turns Sylvain's stomach—

    Felix interrupts him. "Then come to Fraldarius."

    * * *

    Sylvain visits Fraldarius to help the new Duke preside over the winter holidays. It's a lot more complicated than he thinks.

    Summary

    "Of all the Golden Deer, I'm gonna be the one to die a virgin," Hilda repeats, now unable to think of anything else. "I always… y'know, out of all of us, I always thought it'd—"

    "Hey, leave Lorenz out of this," Claude sternly cuts her off before she can say anything. "He's a good guy, it's not his fault he's like that."

    Summary

    Visits to Tamura Table Tennis, in four seasons.

    Smile saves up a little money and buys Tamura Table Tennis a better TV in July, one that connects to a laptop. When it's time for the Olympics, he plays the TV broadcasts of the table tennis games, and when they're not on, he hooks up his laptop to show the online replays. The kids take to imitating Kong's form and Peco's bad habits, the former making Smile's job easier, the latter irritating Smile on bad days and making him smile on the good days. The reporters call Kong by his Japanese name, and after a while it sounds natural. Kong smiles easily when they interview him about Japan's loss in the gold medal match. Peco, at his side with his arm around Kong's neck, still calls him China.
