    Summary

    Sharp words hit where it hurts. He soon discerns that they're empty insults, but they still make his breath catch.

    Vicious, bruising blows while sparring, those hit harder. Those knock the wind from his lungs.

    But what hits hardest of all?

    The moment Felix is silent and pinned beneath him on the ground. In that moment, Sylvain forgets how to breathe.

    --

    Arriving at Garreg Mach, Sylvain isn't sure what to expect. His father wants him to find a wife and make political connections. To fall in line. To keep to tradition.

    Sylvain proceeds to fall madly in love with his male best friend, befriend outcasts & criminals, and spearhead the Industrial Revolution.

    Now to stop a war before it starts.

    Summary

    “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.

    -

    Through a series of unfortunate events, wartime Felix winds up switching places with Felix from ten years in the future.

    Summary

    “I thought he was getting better.” Sylvain snarled, pressing Mercedes harder up against the wall. “You said he was getting better!”

    “Sylvain,” Annette tried, pulling at his arm. “You’re hurting her!”

    “It’s okay, Annie,” Mercedes said. “Sylvain is just upset.”

    He wasn’t just upset, Sylvain was breaking apart. He had trusted Mercedes on her word, he had believed that Felix was okay again. He believed that for some stupid reason that their heartache had finally passed. The war was over, they had declared outright their feelings for one another, everything was meant to be okay for the first time in Sylvain’s entire life and yet there Felix was, lying so still on that damn bed.

    Whumptober 2023, Day 31, “I thought that I was getting better.”
