Summary
About dating the Hydro Sovereign. About the spices he leaves out of his food, and the way he can’t hold his liquor. About the gemstone collection he keeps hidden in the spare dresser. And the way the more time Wriothesley spends with him, the more those claims of impartiality paw at his ears like cute little lies.
These are the things they don’t tell you, and Wriothesley takes notes of them all. Because if he does not, Neuvillette assures him, he’ll never have another who will.
A one-shot/ficlet/drabble collection on the strange quirks and charms involved in dating the Hydro Sovereign, the Iudex of Fontaine, the Chief Justice himself--Neuvillette.

Summary
The Chief Justice, with his guardedness and meticulous planning, wouldn't have dared confess without dissecting every emotion, every potential consequence beforehand.
And yet.
The way Neuvillette had carried himself suggested otherwise. Like something had wrenched hold of him, something he was afraid to let go for fear of what it might bring. It dawned on Wriothesley then, as he watched Neuvillette idly fiddle with the ruffles of his sleeves, that in his hundreds of years of living, he had probably never expressed interest in anyone before.
And that was a truly terrifying thought, indeed.
Plagued by nightmares and increasing grief, only fond memories of Wriothesley seem to offer Neuvillette any comfort. But when Neuvillette quietly tiptoes into the Duke’s office late one evening and confesses, both find themselves faced with a choice: continued isolation or love's uncharted path.
For those exhausted by life’s burdens, perhaps it’s only a love that can be found in each other's embrace that can offer true respite.

Summary
“Please refrain from the use of such language in my office, Your Grace.”
Wriothesley snorted. “Is that really the issue at hand here?”
Yes, because tempting Neuvillette into abating the storm of Wriothesley’s aggressive hormones on one of these couches was certainly the more important issue — and not the paperwork he was being distracted from.
Wriothesley suggests uses for the ten couches in the Iudex's office. Neuvillette is wholly unamused.

Summary
His homeroom teacher calls him a good student, and, an empathetic child, but adds, he has trouble connecting with his peers.
It doesn't bother him like it used to.
It makes sense, after all, on a fundamental level, he is different from them.

Summary
“Continue being you. The real you. Even if you ’re not sure who the “real” you is, I know you’ll find it one day. I have full confidence in you. Surround yourself with those who embrace the new you. Ones that relish in it and don’t just stick around to improve their reputation. Ones that you bring you nothing but unbridled joy. Once you find them…I hope they continue to treat you well for the rest of your life as you’ve earned it. Part of this I know from personal experience.
“And lastly – “
He gently nudges a quietly sobbing Furina to get her attention.
“Would you like to be my friend Miss. Furina?”
