    Summary

    Gilbert Beilschmidt's life came to a crashing halt when his injuries overseas rendered him unable to continue his career path in the military, forcing him to move back in with his little brother. Coping with the aftermath of losing a leg, and losing what he thought was his only future, Gilbert finds himself drawn to a mysterious pianist, who spends time playing strange melodies at the witching hour. Melodies that resonate with Gilbert in ways he couldn't have anticipated.

    But Gilbert is more than able to cope with things on his own, and he definitely isn't chasing this guy, and he most definitely, definitely, can't be "understood" by some rich stranger who seems to be able to see right though him...

    ...right?

    Summary

    Human AU. Gilbert Beilschmidt is not, generally speaking, a romantic man. Which makes his behaviour this particular Valentine's Day a little odd for Roderich to understand...

    Summary

    Sir Solidarity, years ago, had made an oath.
    An oath to protect the prince under his watch, to keep him from harm, and to aid him in life by any means necessary.
    It ended better than expected.

    ~or~

    Prince Scott and knight Jimmy have a lovely night and nothing happens whatsoever.

    (AKA Author went a little insane over medieval oaths and religious themes and decided to inflict it on block men)

    Summary

    When they pull apart Jimmy laughs and matches the playful look his husband had when approaching him, “Y’know how you were saying we’re husbands again? I actually don’t think that’s true. We can’t be, with no poppies around.”

    Scott laughs and hits Jimmy’s arm, gasping like he’s offended even as his tail wraps around the other’s leg to keep him close, “Well I’ll just have to find one then, can I give you this in the meantime?” He holds out a cherry sapling.

    Summary

    “So you’re dead,” he deadpanned.

    Ibarra shot him a sinister smirk. "That’s for you to decide."

    “Where are you really?” he asked, his mind trying to make sense of it all.

    Ibarra laughed, leaning forward. His chin rested on his knees, leaving him curled into a ball. “Didn’t I say I couldn’t tell you already?”

    Elias had only ever loved two people.

    One pushed forward by the promise of freedom; the other, bound by his allegiance, and a promise written in the footnotes of a sepia photograph.

    Loss, Elias learns, is the price of revolution—but when the pavements bleed red, he wonders if it's at too great a cost.
