    Summary

    The reality of war is cruel for Ferdinand. His father is on the run, Edelgard's demands are high, and Hubert's patience with him has run dry. Night brings Ferdinand his only solace: dreams of a faceless stranger with a honeyed voice who gives him pleasure and praise, two things Ferdinand desperately yearns for in the waking world.

    Summary

    “Claude, I know insistently snooping is sorta your thing, but maybe you should take it easy this time!” Hilda shouts from somewhere behind him. Giving a cheeky smile and wink Claude calls back to her rapidly shrinking profile, putting as much volume behind his voice as he could muster as he finally reaches the top of the stairs.

    “And owe you another favor next time I need some juicy gossip? I’m already drowning in crippling debt Hilda, I won't be able to handle anymore- OOF.” His quip abruptly gets cut off as he walks face-first into what seemingly feels like a hard wall.
    Or more like the hard wall walks into him, Claude belatedly realizes, as his arms are immediately seized in a vice-like grip to halt his fall and simultaneously squish his face into the offending surface.

    'Maybe not a wall' his brain slowly comes to a slow comprehension a second later, hands splaying flat and searching against sleek metal and warm leather and OH-

    That’s a living and breathing chest he’s currently pinned against.

    Summary

    After midnight, the lab hums with half finished schematics, dried ink, lukewarm tea with too much sugar and the quiet rhythm of two minds working in sync. Jayce and Viktor navigate quiet confessions, soft silences and the warmth that lingers between words left unsaid.
    Neither of them says what they truly mean. Not yet. But sometimes, silence speaks loudest.

    Summary

    “Hang on,” Gale called. “There is...I think there’s something I could try. To make this work.” He looked like he regretted the words as soon as he said them, but as Astarion turned back to face him, he didn’t recant.

    “Go on.”

    “I think it’s possible, through a somewhat complicated bit of prestidigitation, to change the flavor of myself. My blood.” He looked over Astarion’s face, trying to read a reaction. “If you’re still interested in...in feeding on me, of course.”

    Summary

    After the tadpoles are gone and everyone goes their separate ways, Astarion and Gale realize they can still hear each other’s thoughts. Probably because they’re soulmates.
