    Summary

    After a night of self-destruction, Sylvain wakes up to find himself seriously injured in Almyra, with Claude von Riegan at his bedside. Claude offers Sylvain the opportunity to stay in Almyra until he's fully healed, but Sylvain's convalescence ends up being more politically complicated than Claude initially reveals.

    A post-Crimson Flower story in which Sylvain learns a little about Claude, a little about Almyra — and a lot about himself.

    Summary

    After nearly three years of tightrope walking, Sylvain’s gotten pretty good at keeping his balance. The trick, as far as he can tell, is to keep your focus on a fixed point up ahead. Like this: Sylvain’s always known that, if they manage to make it through the rest of this war, they’ll have to eventually turn their efforts towards securing the future of Fódlan. This thing between them—whatever it is—was never meant to actually last. So long as he remembers that fact, holds it tightly against himself like a counterweight, it's pretty easy to keep moving forward; one foot in front of the other, all that wanting left somewhere beyond his direct line of sight.

    or, love is a gift Sylvain can never accept gracefully.

    Summary

    Above anything else, Sylvain knows it was Felix who’d done him in. In the unsettled aftermath that always followed a letter from Margrave Gautier, Felix had given him a steady, dark-eyed look and said: you should just tell him you’re spoken for.

    It was the sort of gesture that might make a man unreasonably confident.

    In which Sylvain is more or less locked away in a tower by his father for his refusal to marry, and Felix is a man who has never shied away from a challenge.

    Summary

    Whatever secret-keeping is afoot will be unraveled. Felix will reveal to Sylvain that he followed Sylvain across the continent to a market in Derdriu without his knowledge. In turn, Sylvain will kindly reveal why he’s here in the first place, maybe without fucking lying this time.

    After three decades of marriage, Felix’s tips for a happy relationship are, as ever, to have fun and be yourself.

    Summary

    Everything is going right. This year is going to be epic.

    And then the train compartment door slides open. And everything stops.

    James’ knee pauses, his mouth freezes, his stomach drops.

    Sirius is a skeleton standing in the doorway.

    OR

    James tries to control his anger in the wake of Sirius’ abuse.
