Summary
Felix sighed, his frustration audible. “Were you planning on getting this healed at all?”
“Sure,” Sylvain lied.
Felix looked at him again, longer. There was something rotten in Sylvain’s chest. That wasn’t new, really, except that five years of war left it darker and heavier than ever.
“For once, you could be honest,” Felix said finally, his voice rougher than Sylvain was expecting.

Summary
“And you’re still a bleeding heart.” Astarion said it like an insult, with pity in his voice. “I would have thought your chosen line of work would have put a tourniquet to that.”
“I’ve been up against worse than patriars before and kept my head straight and my aim true.”
Astarion seemed to consider that. “I’ve witnessed just how true your aim is, so I would avoid bragging about it as such.” It surprised a laugh out of Wyll. For the briefest moment, something like satisfaction shown on Astarion’s face. “I never said I was lucky,” Wyll said in return.

One year after the fall of the Absolute, Wyll Ravengard walks into a bar and finds a lost friend.

Summary
“You’ve never liked girls,” Linhardt said. His voice was still just as calm and matter-of-fact as usual, but he spoke slower, like he was confused at Caspar’s confusion.
The library felt stuffier than ever, the sunlight and the old books more oppressive than they were just moments ago. Caspar felt sweat on the back of his neck as he stared at Linhardt, wide-eyed, processing that.
“I didn’t mean to upset you,” Linhardt said after another moment of pause, his lips downturned into a frown. “I thought you must know that.”
++
Caspar never realizes anything without Linhardt telling him first.

Summary
“I always miss you,” Sylvain countered. He hadn’t been south long enough. Given another month, he wouldn’t need to put that to words; he would have forgotten the strength of the feeling, in the wake of how natural it always felt to settle in at his side. Felix paused for a moment, a small expression coming and going from his stoic face.
“You’re dramatic. Write me some poetry while I’m gone,” he said. Sylvain pressed a kiss to his knuckles.
++
It was something like muscle memory that found Sylvain in their bedroom when Felix finally arrived home from Fhirdiad. Felix had him trained like a dog after so much reinforcement; when he left home, he came back hungry, and Sylvain was eager to sate.

Summary
Neither of them rested easily, nor quickly. But when they were together, they had this: the hours-long relief of the quiet dark and the warmth of each other, the press of their skin. Link had described the way his dark, gifted arm, still cursed to the bone with Gloom despite Rauru’s best efforts, would seem to purify under the light of the Goddess when he gave her offerings. She wondered if this was like that. If every second pressed together with the quiet promise of protecting each other helped to expel some of the bone-deep darkness they carried just under their skin.

Summary
“You were right. When you said no one could be proud of me.”
Henry closes his eyes. The bed frame soaked up the fire's warmth, a compress pressed along his side. The flame sputters, cracks.
“I was angry. And I couldn’t have possibly meant it, when I know it’s not true.”
***
Between the battles, Henry and Hans find time to talk, touch, and live.Series

Summary
Felix does stop walking, then. He seems to consider the Y2K revival that’s taking place behind the glass in a spray of rhinestones and air-brush fonts and low rise jeans. “Yeah,” he says, after some time. “You’d look good in that.”
Sylvain’s smile might be a grimace. “Why did I ever teach you how to crack a joke.”

Sylvain goes hunting for a new wardrobe and receives more personal revelations than he bargained for.

Summary
Felix clenches his jaw. It makes him want to worry his teeth on something, the scent and the ambient heat of Dimitri’s body. Their arms nearly touch over the center console. He takes a deep breath. Need, nearly as harsh as anger, scratches at him from the inside.
—
It’s summer. Dimitri sweats and Felix suffers.

Summary
“This is stupid.”
“Balls?” says Caspar. “Yeah, agreed. My clothes are itchy and the food isn’t even good.”
“Balls are stupid too,” Linhardt agrees. He turns back, just enough to see the way Caspar twists his sleeve at his wrist and pulls his collar away from his throat. Caspar is not usually one to dress up, but the green tie draped down his chest suits him. “I meant me trying to find a wife.”
