Summary
There’s an arrow nocked and aimed at Rayla’s heart right now too, but she is almost certain that this doesn’t fit Callum’s teasing jabs about Cupid and his endless love arrows.
Cupid isn’t holding this bow. Rayla is.

Summary

Ingrid’s second engagement ends when Sylvain dies, poisoned in his own home.
—When Sylvain is assassinated (or rather, when someone attempts to assassinate Sylvain), he and Ingrid must race against the clock to prove to his father that Sreng is not behind the plot while simultaneously uncovering the truth of who does want him dead.

Summary
It’s not strange to be missing Ingrid—he misses her every day that they are apart, no matter the circumstances—but there’s a special trepidation that comes with missing her these days. After all, he is the one who left her with a promise and a dangled confession that could both mean something or not, depending on how it was interpreted.

Summary
“So,” Sylvain continues teasingly, “who’s the lucky lady who is going to be elevated to Duchess Fraldarius?”
Felix stares at Sylvain for a long moment and Sylvain almost stops to reconsider the question. Felix looks like he wants to both bite Sylvain’s head off and also offer a rare word of sympathy—the latter of which made Sylvain very worried for the answer to his question.
“Ingrid,” Felix finally admits.

Summary
“Yeah,” Ingrid agrees. “I’m glad he stayed in Fhirdiad. It would have been too weird if he had left as well.”

Summary
It doesn’t feel right, Eunie thinks, to be jealous of a dead girl.
But, recently, it’s been hard not to be. Every time she and Taion Interlink, she sees her. She’s holding an image of Saffronia blossoms, she’s tilting her head as she giggles, she’s shoving Taion back into a river so that he will live when she dies.
Eunie can feel Taion’s grief in those moments. It’s as if, the moment Nimue pushed him, his heart was ripped out of his chest.
—emotions are shared when interlinking and eunie can't help what she feels.

birds of a feather (don't do well in the cold) by nicole_writes
Fandoms: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (Video Game)
10 Oct 2022
Tags
Summary
Eunie is cold. She is so snuffing cold that her feathers are going to freeze, fall out, and shatter when they hit the ground. The rocks of the hollow are helping a little, but not much. She can still feel the cold in the ground, chilling her bedroll, her, and every single one of her feathers.
—the group makes camp outside Colony Omega.

- ~ -Sylvain's blood feels like ice. Ingrid has been reaped. Ingrid is going into the Games. He breathes out slowly and his panic slowly turns to conviction. He is going to do everything in his power to makes sure that she wins.

A small part inside of him whispers: Anyone but Felix.
And Manuela reads out Felix's name.

we'll play pretend for all our friends by nicole_writes for paperpenpal
Fandoms: Fire Emblem: Fuukasetsugetsu | Fire Emblem: Three Houses
12 Nov 2021

Summary
The subject of engagement is one she has never enjoyed talking about. It came up a few times when she and Sylvain were together, but it always seemed to bring up bad things too. Between Sylvain’s judgemental father and Ingrid’s disapproving family, the noble side of an engagement seemed entirely unappealing. And, on the personal front, Ingrid found herself worried about a plethora of things.
So, suffice to say, Ingrid and Sylvain were never engaged. And now they’re not even together.
—Ingrid and Sylvain broke up six months ago. They just...never told anyone.

Summary
She stops, thinking for a moment. Surprisingly, she doesn’t think that Sylvain has had a girl over in probably close to a week. Ingrid puts her glass down and rounds the counter, approaching him. He straightens up, trying to lean away from her, but Ingrid grabs his arm to hold him in place.
“When was the last time you fed?” she demands.
—Sylvain hasn't fed in a while.

Summary
“Where are you going?”
Even her voice, soft and sweet—one of Sylvain’s favourite sounds—manages to sound tired and overworked. Maybe he’s just used to picking through her moods.
“We need to eat tonight, don’t we?” he replies warmly.
Ingrid groans, burrowing down into the pillows of the couch. “Do we have to?”
—sylvain thinks ingrid works too much

Summary
In chess, Sylvain doesn’t think of losses as losses. Chess pieces are built for sacrifice and sometimes you lose a game to get a mental step up on an opponent in a future match. Even though he may lose the first game, in a set, Sylvain is always confident he’ll come out on top.
So, generally, harmless losses are just losses. And yet, Sylvain finds himself hating losing to Claude von Riegan.
—in which sylvain plays for the knight.

Summary
While he expects Brandl to feel alive under his touch, Sylvain does not expect to feel like he is literally reaching out to touch a happy memory—something warm and alive and peaceful and vibrant. It’s like he’s touching happiness.

Summary
She grins at Ingrid. "Or, you know, you could always wake him up like they do in the Slumbering Princess."
It takes Ingrid a second to remember what happens in that book. It's an old children's tale that involves a princess being put to sleep by a spell. She's woken up later in the story by a knight who gives her a True Love's Kiss.
It takes another moment to register what Annette's suggestion means.
—or Sylvain is hit by a mysterious spell and Ingrid takes matters into her own hands.

Summary
When they had agreed, tentatively, to try and pretend like they were courting, there were a few ground rules.
1. Nobody else could know it was fake. Even Felix.
2. They would be each other’s default dates to any social events that came up.
3. They would spend time together every single day to help sell the ruse.
4. If a real, promising suitor for either of them comes around, they break off their non-relationship.And, most importantly,
5. There are no real feelings involved beyond their friendship.
