    Summary

    “I wish I could see into your head,” you murmur, freeing one hand from his grasp and tapping a finger against his forehead, right between his eyebrows.

    “You don’t,” he says, because god, you don’t. He’s the exact kind of man that he wants to protect you from. But he’s also the only man that can protect you the right way.

    (Once he came back, did what he had to do for Ever, everything would work out. His life, a list of wants: you and nothing else.)

    Summary

    That sickness. It churned relentlessly in his gut. He flicked, flicked, flicked through the cameras, metal fingertip tapping against the monitor to capture you at every angle. He couldn't bring himself to admit how many times he had zoomed in and brought his hand to the screen in a pathetic gesture just to imagine he could feel the warmth of your cheek against his palm. His reason for life, granted to him by you, stunted and stalled by...well. By his death.

    He's back, now. He'd endured countless horrors and torn open the gates of hell to claw his way back to you. At last, he could return to his purpose. To kneel at your feet and present his neck to your boot. Nod his head yes and bow to your every order. Be right where he belongs. But...

    In his absence, you've started taking care of yourself. Poorly. Very poorly. And you're so fucking stubborn, refuting his help. It makes his jaw hurt with how hard he clenches his teeth.

    This night, though, this blessed, perfect night, you finally let him back in. You finally let him further. It's more than anything he could have ever dreamed. He should know better by now, but you make him so hopeless he can’t help himself. He knows good things for him never last.

    Summary

    Stelle hates her corporate job, and cannot quit in good conscience, not without throwing her former teachers' kindness in their faces after they so kindly helped her land a foot in one of the biggest two corporate empires in the continent. So, her next plan is to be so bad at her job that she will get fired—easy, right? Wrong.

    Stelle has a weird boss that refuses to fire her, no matter what she does.

    Summary

    In hindsight, every caged bird must have felt it when thrust into the vast, unknown, and incomprehensible cosmos. Freedom tasted sweet but carried an edge of terror—boundless and almost too much to bear. Old shackles and familiar, trusty prison bars had brought safety to his paper wings. They were too fragile—breakable—for the continuous flowing vortex he'd been braving.

    Summary

    Summary

    “I guess I shouldn’t be surprised you’re territorial, given how dog-eat-dog the underground can be. What was that story about the toy, when you were a child? Someone tried to take it, so you grabbed it with your mouth?”

    “Exactly.” Seele ran her eyes slowly up Bronya’s chest to her clavicle. Admiring her handiwork. “And the tooth marks were still there ten years later. So a few hickeys? You’re getting off lucky.” She furrowed her eyebrows and deadpanned, “Woof.”

    Bronya puts off an afternoon appointment.

    Summary

    Cynefin (n) Welsh term 'the place where we feel we belong, where the people and landscape around us are familiar, and the sights and sounds are reassuringly recognisable.’ It carries with it a sense of rootedness—temporal, physical, cultural or spiritual.

    Summary

    There won’t be any doubt who owns her, he tells himself, with a shock of heat spiking through him—not for days, perhaps even a week. Every time she sits down, or disrobes, or shifts and winces and remembers just how many sore spots he managed to give her in a single session, she will think of him, and she will reflect on this sacred time where they both agreed, with perfect love and understanding, to allow his darker side off its tightly-braided lead, to let all of him run free.

    And she, receiving the fury of his unbridled devotion, has allowed herself to scream and cry and yelp, to scratch and bite and kick, to bray and keen if she has to, to do whatever it is he drives her to, without worrying that she might hurt him or—worse, so much worse—put him off for fear of hurting her. 

    “I know you never would,” she had said. And she had kissed him, and not gently. There had been more teeth than tongue in that one.

    Summary

    A minor Azure Moon canon divergence where after fusing with Sothis, Byleth learns Nabateans survive mainly on blood. Seteth informs her she needs a donor. Dimitri quickly offers himself as the best choice, though his interest is more than just in providing a meal.

    OR

    Byleth is a vampire, Dimitri is her donor with a boner. The canon plot happens in the background. It's spicy. That’s it.

    Summary

    Dimitri doesn’t do connections. He doesn’t do hobbies or nights out or dates. He works from home as a shitty project manager, goes to the gym at two in the morning, and is miserable all the time. Now that his parents and stepsister are gone, nothing else feels right.

    But when his panic attacks and anxiety come to a head, his therapist suggests he take on a ‘tactile hobby’ to ground himself. Visual art is out of the question, too free-form. The idea that he might create something that says something about himself is petrifying. He needs an activity that has instructions attached. Woodworking? In his tiny apartment? Baking? He couldn’t taste it anyway. So that’s how Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd finds himself walking out of a craft store with a pair of size eight knitting needles and a cheap ball of yarn.

    “This better fucking work.”

    OR: Dimitri hits rock bottom, and the only way left to go is up.

    Summary

    Byleth’s fingers had just brushed the door to her apartment when it happened. With a startling flash of light, a man literally fell to the ground by her feet from out of nowhere. It was obvious he was no angel with his missing eye, bloody figure, and feral grin, which remained frozen on his unconscious face. She considered calling security and letting them take him to the hospital, but ended up taking it upon herself to ensure the stranger’s wellbeing. Now, he stood in the same room simultaneously brooding and staring intently at a dishwasher as if she hadn’t found him unconscious and impaled by archaic lances mere days ago. “You claim this thing washes dishes?”

    Feral Dimitri gets thrown into the future and modern Byleth has to deal with him.

    Summary

    Encyclopedia of Fódlan's Insects
    (This book's title does not match its contents, suggesting a false cover.)

     


    Byleth is a monastery orphan turned professor that has gained enough renown to participate in the upcoming social season, hoping to marry into financial stability. Dimitri is a foreign orphan turned businessman, looking to gain a foothold in Fodlan with a new title and influential bride.

    Well, that's what they've told each other, anyway. Their true identities and motivations will be revealed against the backdrop of Enbarr's extravagant social season, where elegant gowns and juicy gossip distract from the rotting heart of Adrestia and the growing threat that dwells below the surface.

    Summary

    Ferdinand wishes for Byleth’s love, and he’s worthy of it.

    How can I compare to all that I’m not? To all that I shall never be.

    Even if he has claimed his Blaiddyd birthright back, the lands were poor, mediocre. Surely, Seteth will see the better fruits that Ferdinand offers—an easier burden for Byleth’s heart and a greater opening for her to not dwell in duties foreign from that of the church’s. A comrade that has the necessary supplies to rebuild the church while being a dutiful lover that would never bring in challenges against her duties and ideals.

    A dastard man that has the wit and beauty to keep Byleth satisfied.
