    Summary

    Now, as Xingqiu lays in bed and recalls the way his father, mother, and brother smile down at him around the dinner table, the weight of being an heir haunts him once more as he considers, for the millionth time: who is my future supposed to be for?

    As a fourteen-year-old Xingqiu considers his next steps, an idea comes to mind. As always, it has to do with writing.
    ---

    Or, Xingqiu is a genius in all the ways that matter, but even he can't think his way out of this pickle... unless?

    Summary

    Chongyun firmly believes that there are universal laws. But Xingqiu alone, being the anomaly he is, had written and rewritten laws Chongyun previously thought were set in stone.

    Fate is a tricky sort of thing, and Chongyun finds that falling in love was not something he was prepared for.

    Summary

    “I thank you again for agreeing to paint me,” Xingqiu says. The subject seems to be drifting away from Kaeya for the time being, something Albedo is grateful for. “I was already a fan of your illustrations, but seeing you work up close… it truly is fascinating.”

    It is far from the first time that Albedo has received praise for his art, but he appreciates it all the same. “It is only because of good inspiration.” Albedo says, truthfully. Xingqiu has been a lot of help.

    (OR: After solving the case of the missing books, Albedo paints Xingqiu as promised.)

    Summary

    “You’re avoiding me. You left the ring behind. I don’t understand. What did I do wrong?” Byleth asks, hunching in Edelgard’s chair. She knows she should feel shame, or embarrassment, or something, but she cannot find it in herself to care: everything has been going sideways ever since her heart began beating, and she feels small and fragile with the weight of it. Edelgard stands close now, hands clasped tightly in front of her. 

    “My teacher,” she starts. Sighs. Then, as Byleth watches, the Emperor disappears from her expression and leaves behind a young woman, uncertain and a little sad, eyes shadowed, face drawn. Edelgard drops to her knees in front of her. Her lashes are wet with unshed tears. 

    Byleth reaches out to touch her shoulder, startled. 

    “My teacher, my teacher, how can I tell you about my shame?” Edelgard asks. “After everything you have given me, that I still wanted more?”

    -

    In which the goddess breaks Byleth's feelings, Edelgard pines, and Hubert is very, very tired.
