    Summary

    In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. I know I promised to take you there again, someday. And I never did. Well, I'm alone there now – in our special place – waiting for you.

    Thirty-six words. One for every month since her diagnosis. One for every month without her James. Of course she came here to find him. She just hadn't decided whether she would kiss him or kill him once she did.

    (Or: Mary gets sick. James disappears. Then she gets a letter.)

    Summary

    His rule has been divided into many lands and endless roads. He cannot say that it is lonely, because there is always someone at his side. He is never far from a familiar face, always heading towards an old friend’s home. 

    And yet, somehow, he is still lost. He is still wandering. 

    But Dedue remains at his side. Not a fixed point for him to aim at, a star to guide his path, but rather a companion. Another man without a home whose steps keep pace with his own. 

    ---

    Traveling across Fódlan in the years after the war, Dimitri starts to get lost. Dedue remains the only constant. Then the Viscount of Kleiman finally goes on trial and everything changes.

    Summary

    Learning the truth behind Christophe’s death has left Ashe with more questions than answers. Once again forced to confront the loss of his adoptive family, he feels helpless, disheartened, and above all else, alone.

    But then, a week before the Ethereal Ball, Ashe finds a basket of violets and sugar candies sitting outside his door… along with an unexpected hand to help guide him through the throes of grief.

    ~~~~~

    The first in a series of events that forever shape the relationship between a prince and his subject, through their lives as young students, as hardened soldiers, and as two souls struggling to come to terms with their grief.

    Summary

    Caspar walks ahead, and wraps a stiff arm around Annette’s tiny shoulders. As they march towards Garreg Mach, a heavy hush enshrouding their party, Ashe watches in despair as her body heaves and shakes with quiet sobs. In Ashe’s own moment of peace and solitude, he can finally shed the tears he’s been holding back, too. They sting his eyes as they stream down his cheeks.

    He can’t tell if he’s crying for Dedue, or for Dimitri. Or for himself.

    Dedue is dead. 

    Dimitri is broken. 

    And Caspar is back.

    Or: Ashe and Caspar travel together during the timeskip, and much more than just hilarity ensues. Years later, when the Blue Lions finally reunite to end Edelgard's war, the two of them have to fight side-by-side, again - which is bound to be a disaster, given the demons they still haven't faced, the truths they still haven't told, and the nature of the thing that tore them apart.

    Summary

    Sylvain is sent to Ashe and Dedue's inn to relax after stressful negotiations about the future of Gautier. It should be fine, except for one deeply buried secret: Sylvain is in love with them and has been for years. His goal is to make it through this trip without them knowing. But, the longer he stays, the more he realizes that, maybe, he’s not the only one who feels something.
