    Summary

    Even bloodied, Felix always thought Sylvain was beautiful. It was something he learned to accept as an unfortunate truth about himself over a decade prior; he knew it the way he knew their family names and the route to the best gardens at Castle Blaiddyd. He knew it even when he hated it.

    “Felix,” Sylvain said in that same gentle voice, and the sound of it made Felix’s head stop spinning for a moment. “There’s a war on. Aren’t there more important things to be afraid of?” No, said something stubborn in his mind. This, Sylvain beneath him and murmuring his name like a lover, was more pressing than Edelgard and her army, or the hastily fortified monastery walls. He understood battle, after all.

    But beneath the frightened animal thing in his heart, he knew Sylvain was right. They didn’t have time for this now.

    ❂❂❂❂

    Over two decades of life, Felix learns how to keep living, and eventually he learns how to look love in the eye.

    Summary

    Sylvain reaches over from his cot to clumsily pat Felix on the arm. “Well anyway, don’t worry about it. If you’re looking for somebody interested, I don’t think you’ll have any trouble finding them. Anybody would wanna deflower you.”

    Felix doesn’t mean to say it, is the thing. He means to tell Sylvain to fuck off, colorfully, for his use of the word “deflower.” He means to tell him that he’s not worried, shut up. He means, more than anything else, to get them to drop this subject and never pick it back up again.

    Instead, for some fucking reason, he opens his mouth and asks: “Would you?”

    -

    Felix and Sylvain and the terrible, horrible, no good, very cringe attempt at being friends with benefits.

    Summary

    "Do you ever miss it?" he asks, voice barely louder than the muted crunch of the snow beneath their boots.

    "Miss what?" Felix asks, slowing his pace ever so slightly to give him a questioning look.

    "Being close like that," Sylvain replies, smiling despite being painfully aware he risks backing himself into a corner he can't get out of without at least one of them ending up hurt, "I know I do."

    Summary

    The man’s grin morphs into a lopsided smirk that can only mean trouble. To Felix’s horror, (and instead of being dissuaded by Felix’s absolute incapability of having a conversation) the man only leans on the chipped wood of Felix’s door frame, cocks the hip with his mailbag salaciously, and asks:

    “So… you come here often?”

    Felix thinks the summer can't get any hotter... until a new mailman appears at his door.

    Summary

    Felix sighs. He's just about to exit out of Craiglist entirely when a certain post catches his eye. He taps on the link, and an unadorned paragraph of text appears before him:

    Alone on Thanksgiving? Mad at your dad?
    I am a 26 year old, disinherited college dropout with no family to celebrate with. I can play anywhere between the ages of 24 and 29 depending on if I shave. If you’d like to have me as your strictly platonic date for Thanksgiving but have me pretend to be in a very long or serious relationship with you in order to torment your family, I’m game. I require no pay but the free meal I will receive as a guest!
    - SJG

    Intrigued, he shoots off a message to the original poster:

    still looking for a Thanksgiving meal?

    He receives a text back in record time, the notification bubble lighting up his screen:

    you bet i am ;)

    Felix smiles. Bingo.

     

    Or: Felix hires Sylvain to be his fake boyfriend in order to antagonize his father on Thanksgiving. Things get a little out of hand from there.

    Summary

    "So,” his tutor said, “heard you’re having some trouble in school. Guess I’m here to help with that.” There was a pause, “I’m Byleth by the way.” It was then, and only then, that Dimitri finally looked up and instantly his breath was stolen from him. His mouth went dry as his young eyes attempted to take in all that her image had to offer. Before him sat the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his long 14 years of life.

    A silly (but heartfelt) modern AU in which a young Dimitri falls head over heels for his tutor, only to meet her many years later as his professor in grad school. Also Sylvain and Felix are in love and finally figure it out and all the Blue Lions + Claude are there.

    Summary

    And then Felix laughs, relaxed and fond and vulnerable in this space between them where they aren’t Margrave and Duke, aren’t crest bearers and former generals and anything that requires the carefully laid walls between them and the world, and all Sylvain can think is damn, I want him to sleep well. I want him to have nothing but these long rewarding days and restful nights and to always look like this, just like this.

    Sylvain wants and wants and wants and not even for him. Just for Felix.

    Picture this. You're in love with your best friend from before you understand what that means. You win a war. You inherit your title and land. And you're still too shy to tell him you love him (but you do, you both do).

    Summary

    To Felix, Sylvain is nothing more than a stupid loverboy who thinks the gym is his personal dating ground, and he despises him for it.

    To Sylvain, Felix is nothing more than a boring ass dude whose entire life apparently revolves around work out, and he couldn't care less about him.

    That is, until one day, an unfortunate event brings Felix to his boiling point and he decides enough is enough.

    Then, trouble, aching muscles and protein bars ensue ; and among these things, two wayward souls may also happen to slowly bring each other back to the tracks of lives they thought were lost forever.

    Summary

    When his R.A. first handed the door cards to him, he’d thought it was a simple mistake. But when Ignatz double checked the room list, yellow lines streaking neatly across the page at random intervals, he just beamed back up at him with his own highlighter smile.

    “You’re 201, right? The corner double? I have two names down for the room, Sylvain and Felix.”

    He could only blink back, heart plummeting by the second. Ignatz’s smile took on a desperate edge.

    “Did they… not send you an email about the last minute transfer?”

    Felix swallowed down the golf-ball sized lump stuck in his throat.

    “No. They didn’t.”

    Anonymous author Felix Fraldarius finds himself with an attractive infuriating roommate his junior year. Sylvain finds himself determined to win his new roommate over, all while trying to distract himself with his favorite online columnist. Neither are prepared for their worlds to collide.

    Summary

    “Aren’t—” Felix’s voice was breathy, and he swallowed hard. “Your ad said ‘ladies only.’”

    Sylvain grinned wickedly, and Felix felt his whole face light up red. That’s not what he meant to say. Or maybe it was. The one brain cell left in his skull was struggling to keep up.

    “Actually,” Sylvain murmured, his voice dropping to a sultry, low register, “what I believe it said was ‘no chumps.’ And you, Felix—” he shuddered at the way Sylvain’s tongue swirled sensually over the syllables of his name, “—are decidedly not a chump. So… what do you say?”

    ---

    Felix gets way more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    “Wait.” Felix’s world starts to shift on its axis. “What does this have to do with me?”

    There is a terrible pause. As each quiet second ticks on, the answer to that question grows devastatingly obvious—a shitty punchline to the world’s stupidest joke.

    “Felix,” Mercedes starts carefully, very carefully, “you’re the one he’s in love with.”

    -

    Sylvain gets doused with a love potion. Felix handles it REALLY well.

    Summary

    Annette puts her hands on her hips, one eyebrow arching imperiously upward. For someone who’s barely five feet tall on a good day, she’s suddenly taking up all the space in the room.

    “You know,” she says, sharp and sugar-sweet, “there are easier ways to tell Sylvain you want to court him.”

    -

    To avoid talking about his feelings, Felix takes up wood carving.

    “I am married,” Sylvain says, a small, private smile on his face. Felix’s chest feels like it’s caving in.

    He forces out a scoff. “What poor fool settled down with you? Someone we know?”

    Sylvain laughs loudly, sharp and sudden, like it’s been shocked out of him.

    Summary

    “Although I admit I am curious as to why you are so stressed out about us asking you questions, Felix. Yeah, I get that it sucks that the choice is taken away from you, but honestly, Fe.”

    He paused, considering Felix, and he felt ice enclose his heart, no, no, no, but Sylvain continued, “you don’t usually pull your punches, anyway. It’s like—what, you got a secret crush on someone or something?”

    “Yes, I do,” Felix said, and seriously considered running until he hit Imperial territory and got murdered for his troubles.

    They stared at each other, there in the silence of the training grounds. Distantly, he heard the last bell for dinner.

    Felix gets hit by a truth spell and reveals that he has a secret crush. Sylvain tries to guess who it is.

    Summary

    Sylvain Gautier, 27, is on a hospital bed. His arm is in a cast, his neck is in a brace, and there’s some gauze and bandages peeking out from beneath artfully mussed hair. He’s winking. He’s smiling. And in the bio beneath, it says this: Hey, I’m dying to meet you. When can ICU?

    It’s stupid. Really stupid. But something must click, because through the roll of his eyes and the sliver of grudging amusement he allows, Felix swipes right—and there, on his screen, is a chipper little message in curved, white font, the kind they use for birthday cards and colorful posters to announce something remarkable.

    It’s a Match!

    Summary

    Felix tried to speak or at least think, but the only resounding thought in his mind was the word “husband” echoing over and over.

    Although he had slowly been piecing it together, he still couldn’t comprehend it even after hearing it out loud. Suddenly, it started to make sense—the ring on Felix’s finger, him and Sylvain living together, the way Sylvain was being so absurdly, openly affectionate with him ...

    Sylvain is hit with a dark spell during battle that casts his mind into an inescapable dream world. Felix volunteers to follow Sylvain into his dreamscape to save him—but when he arrives, he discovers that Sylvain is living in an ideal post-war world where he and Felix are married.

    Felix bumps into his ex-college roommate Sylvain in May of 2020 after a year of avoiding him. He ends up having to quarantine with Sylvain in his off-campus apartment for two weeks, though they have very different feelings about being reunited.
    At least, initially.

    Summary

    Sylvain's touch still lingers there, like he's afraid he might have woken Felix up. But when Felix still doesn't move at all, Sylvain lets out a soft and breathy noise that falls somewhere between a sigh and a laugh. There's a barely perceptible shift in weight in the mattress, like maybe Sylvain is leaning a hand against it, and ...

    That's when Felix feels it––the brief shiver of Sylvain's breath, followed by the gentle press of his lips on Felix’s forehead.
     
    or, Sylvain keeps showing Felix signs of affection, but only when he thinks Felix is asleep … and Felix, who is actually awake every time, starts to realize his true feelings for his best friend.
