    Summary

    Alone again, with the pancakes not due to flip for another minute or so going by the lack of bubbles on the pale doughy surfaces, Will takes a deep breath and presses the backs of his knuckles into his eyes with a groan.

    He tells himself sternly to knock it off, because there's certainly no point in it.

    It's one matter to stand against the world as a person more hated than just about anything and to have comrades defend your honor and right to exist. It's another matter entirely, Will thinks, to imagine that he can… partake, in that same society, in all the same ways everyone else can.

     

    In which Will has some hangups about what is tacitly forbidden to him by virtue of being an elda amidst a nation that would prefer to see him dead. Along the way to untangling that complicated knot of internalized taboo, Basilio fights his own old long-standing battles. Together, perhaps, the impasses holding them both down might be broken.

    Summary

    The problem wasn't that Will was Strohl's soulmate, no. Strohl was over the moon to know that his dearest friend was his destiny– though he'd known that from the moment that they'd shook hands.

    The problem was that Will didn't seem to know that Strohl was his soulmate at all. The misfortune never seemed to end, in his case– was he truly part of a one-sided bond? Or did Will simply not want him…?

    No matter. Strohl would do his best to try and seduce him regardless.

    the first chapter is relatively spoiler free, but the final one will have major spoilers

    “I will give you a tenday to convince your love to relinquish his Ascension. If, in that time, he agrees to the terms and nullifies his contract, you both regain possession of the seven thousand souls and gift them to me.

    “If, after ten days, Astarion does not agree…” Raphael reaches forward, his hand outstretched to you. “...you pledge your soul to me. Forever.”

    Summary

    Before picking it up, Byleth reached for a tissue to hold it—she knew better than to leave fingerprints on an artifact. Something felt familiar about it, more than seeing it in its display case every time she was in the exhibit, or on the ring finger of Lady Byleth in every painting in their collection. Her ring finger ached for it, like it belonged on her knuckle, and being without it felt wrong.

     

    (For Dimileth Trick or Treat) A ghost haunts The Royal Faerghus Museum, with a particular interest paid to the beautiful curator who resembles one of the castle's former denizens.
