    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

    Dimitri stares at the rose, gazing at its starry petals, but the gift tells nothing of its giver. “Strange,” he says, voice rough from disuse. In the spaces between wars, his energy ebbs and fades, eaten away slowly with no source to restore it. Even this visit to the shrine has left him breathing quicker, winded by such a simple use of divine travel. He has not the strength to search for his strange benefactor, nor for the reason behind their gift.

    Something settles in his chest like a stone at the thought, but Dimitri just shakes his head, vanishing the rose to his rooms in Garreg Mach, the home of the gods.

    Who would give flowers to the god of war and bloodlust?

    Be it from mortal or deity, the gift was a mistake, and nothing more.

    ----

    In which the goddess of death seeks to court a deeply confused god of war.
