  1. Summary

    A collection of short stories for the Warrior of Light Z'nehzi Vehska, a Miqo'te exile from Ishgard.

    Themes involve Fate, Control, Love, Suffering.

    Currently mid 5.3. I write perspective based off of what I believe is going to happen. Stories prior to Elmore and Mt. Gulg are written with the benefit of hindsight.

    Summary

    Baiheng is trouble, pure and simple, and trouble is not what Jingliu needs complicating her life. Besides, she thinks, knowing how time yields to nothing, give her two hundred years and Baiheng will be dead, like everyone else that has passed through her life. Give her enough time, and Baiheng won’t be anything but a memory.

    (or: the rise and fall of the high cloud quintet as recorded and lived through the lens of jingliu and baiheng falling for each other.)

    Summary

    “How do you sleep at night?” Flayn stared at Edelgard, hovering on every word that would come from her question.

    Edelgard carefully tasted her tea, putting more thought into whether she burned her mouth than the words that came out of it. “I keep a weapon on my person at all times.”

    -----

    Edelgard teaches Flayn how to defend herself. The consequences stretch farther than either could anticipate.

    Summary

    Things are going well with Edelgard. However, the most pressing issue in Flayn's first relationship isn't her girlfriend, it's her father.

    Set in a universe where they never go to war, they actually get to be students.

    Summary

    "Flayn studies her with that clear, focused gaze of hers that Edelgard has come to appreciate precisely because of how unexpected it was, at first (and despite how oddly searching it felt in this instance).
    …How much she wondered, after their nightly visits, did Flayn see in her? No, more than that, what was the world like through her eyes?"

    Flayn joins the Black Eagles, and stays.
