    Summary

    'You wouldn't say those are very good odds, would you?' said Aventurine. 'And yet, because that's how tournaments work,' he paused for effect, tapping a finger against the counter to emphasise his next words. 'Five hundred matches in a row, with the chances of zero point twenty percent, someone will still win.'

    'And?'

    'I aim to always be that person.' Aventurine placed his half-finished drink on the counter before rising from his seat. 'Shall we, professor?'

     

    In which Dr. Ratio and Aventurine go on several missions together.

    Summary

    The castle had become unfamiliar to the king.

    But the same tapestries hung in cold rooms, the staircases comprised the same footworn wooden steps, and the sun shone through the same stained glass windows that Dimitri had known since childhood: nothing physical has changed in Castle Fhirdiad.

    No, that wasn't correct. It was in the echoes left by even the smallest movement, the hushed silence that usually preceded a deep and dark secret.

    He was alone.

    In which Dimitri is trapped in his own castle. And then has several weird conversations with other people, but mostly with Byleth.

    Summary

    In another history, he'd been likened to Pan the undesiring strategist by a student. Standing beside the new king of a united Fódlan, a descendant of Loog himself, Byleth thought of Ferdinand and how close he'd been to predicting the future.

    Summary

    The Holy Kingdom of Faerghus has always had close ties with the Church. Dimitri had a more pragmatic view of religion compared to the kings who had come before him, but he saw no need to sever ties with powerful allies and inspire political unrest.

    His dedication wasn't at all influenced by the nun who currently lived in Garreg Mach and was famous for bestowing his blessings on the needy. Not at all. That the King always went to mass on Sunday and never missed confession was only to show a good example to the citizens of Faerghus and not lose face in front of his religious peers.

    For April's Dimileth Hot Flash. Prompts: Confessional + Glory Hole.

    Summary

    Rian hurried down the corridor. Castle Fhirdiad was built for defence, not only against enemy attacks but also against the punishing Faerghus winters. Even so, no amount of tapestries and heavy curtains could keep out a stubborn draught.

    So the question was: had he heard the wind whistling through some crack in the stone walls, or someone's cry of pain?

    In which Dimitri's son (original character warning) does an accidental voyeurism.

    Summary

    As the Imperial army marched closer to Garreg Mach, the weight that had settled at the back of Caspar's throat slid lower, a steady but unstoppable dive into the pit of his stomach.

    Summary

    Sleep didn't come easily to him, not even after the war. The long summer days suited him; the sun rose a few hours after midnight, and he didn't have to do his sword drills in the dark.

    In winter, the night watch made sure to keep a few torches lit and the braziers warm for their king. He hoped they did this kindly, to humour his whims. Wary of interrupting the clockwork operations of Castle Fhirdiad, he'd never asked.

    In the dark, the voices of the dead were louder and demanded more attention.

    Summary

    Real life wasn't story-shaped, so even if it made more sense for someone else to be in this position--one of the Klims, perhaps, or even Akane--in this case, it was Junpei. He had no personal stake in this business, aside from his connections to the people who did, but he wasn't the type to give up a lead when time was in short supply and acting now meant having no regrets later.

    'Carlos should have shot you,' said Junpei, keeping his gun trained on Delta's face, 'when he had the chance.'

    Summary

    'I'll make sure the culprits are brought to justice, lad,' said Alois. 'The Knights of Seiros swear to it.'

    'Thank you,' said Byleth. He brought the word 'spare' to mind, something Alois never associated with either Jeralt or Sitri. There was a stillness in Byleth that calmed and unsettled, sometimes at the same time.

    'Leave it to us,' said Alois, giving Byleth's shoulder a few pats.

    Summary

    'That sort of person is usually pursued,' said Sylvain, leaning close to Dimitri. 'And seldom the pursuer.'

    'Are we still talking about this?'

    'So what it boils down to,' Sylvain went on, 'is who would ask him first?'

     

    Or: Dimitri thirsts for his professor in two thousand words (or less).

    Summary

    'Ferdinand told me about afternoon tea.'

    Dimitri was not having much success with fitting a spearhead onto a new wooden handle and was glad for the distraction.

    'Yes?' he said, trying to keep his tone light as he looked up at the professor.

    'Peasants don't have afternoon tea,' the professor said.

     

    Or: three times Dimitri and Byleth have tea and one time they had to wait.

    Summary

    Byleth Eisner was scary. He seldom spoke unless asked a direct question, the expression on his face unchanging and his eyes flat with disinterest. He conversed with people in the same way Dimitri had seen him kill bandits during the last day of camp: distant and unmoved. 

    But he held his sword as if it was an extension of his body and he moved with the precision of a knife point. 

    So: he was useful and he taught well and there was something almost charming about the clumsy way he tried to connect with people. 

    Dimitri wanted him.

    Summary

    ‘If you fail, then the timeline where June exists collapses.’

    ‘But you said.’ Junpei waved a hand, at a loss for words. ‘The many-worlds interpretation?’

    ‘Oh, she’s alive. Just not here.’ Aoi shrugged. ‘Not for us.’

    Summary

    His heart was pounding in his chest when he pulled the door open and he let out a gasp when he saw an old man with dark tinted glasses. Dio stepped out of the way as the man wheeled his chair inside the room.

    'We have a lot to talk about,' said Brother.

    Summary

    ‘I wanted to hear the bells.’

    Chuuya has started crossing the flat bridge ahead of Dazai but he looks back at that, a puzzled expression on his face. ‘They stopped ringing the temple bell here, right?’

    ‘I'm aware.’

    Chuuya laughs. ‘Trust you go to the one temple with no bells.’

    Set years after canon. Dazai is an old man and the government wants him out of Yokohama. Written for 365: a Soukoku Zine.

    Summary

    There were a number of studios alloted for principals and Thom checked those first. Two of the rooms were empty, but Thom could see a sliver of light from under the door of the third one. He tried to open the door as quietly as possible, aware that his standing as one of the Academy's top physiologists could only get him so far when it came to disrupting a principal's precious training.

    Rook wasn't inside. Nor was Amery. Instead, Thom saw Hal in arms of one of the masters.

    ‘Fuck,’ said Thom. And then covered his mouth.
