    Summary

    He’s clever, they always said, which really meant don’t trust him. But when Claude pieced apart his walls to let someone inside they were always surprised to find that he wasn’t the snake they’d been expecting. He was ambitious, of course, but ambition in the hands of good men is a blessing, not a curse. And when he described the tenets of his vision for the future it was easy to believe that clever was simply a synonym for kind.

    He’ll betray you, they said, already sitting in his palms, but when he drew his hands into fists to crush them they still bothered to cry out, why?

    Summary

    "What about you?"

    "What about me?" Claude raised an eyebrow.

    "You sounded upset while you were talking about what happened between harpies and humans."

    "Did I?" Any hint of Claude's frustration melted away with a smile. "I didn't mean to rant about history when you're supposed to be learning how to read. It's just… if other humans and harpies could have a civil conversation like we're doing now, there wouldn't be so few harpies in Fodlan, and humans wouldn't have to live in fear of them. Not to mention how much we might gain from learning from each other."

    "True." Byleth nodded slightly. "But perhaps our kind will always fight, and we may just be special cases. I have amnesia, and you are, as you said, a weirdo."

    Claude has a lot of plans. None of his plans involve an amnesiac harpy named Byleth that gets injured while saving his life. As the two of them get to know each other, amidst fateful reunions, spilled blood, and the unraveling of ancient legends, Byleth's mysterious past seems to intertwine with the secrets Claude holds close to his heart. Yet only the flow of time can decide if they share not only the same sky, but also the same fate.
