The Sea Captain’s Daughter by foux_dogue

Summary
When she’d been a little girl, Caterina’s father had told her stories about how her mother lived in a palace under the sea. He’d spun the tale of her shimmering scales so well that his daughter had nearly forgotten that her mother had just been an unlucky girl from Sreng who’d laid with men for coin. All the same, Caterina still claimed the sea as her birthright. Salt was in her blood, and she was more than willing to spill it to take what she wanted.
But when she catches a wounded sea serpent in her nets — one who becomes a man with sea-grass hair and a proud glare that has nothing to do with the way he’s making a bloody mess of her deck — she has no choice but to reconsider the truth hidden in old fairytales.

Summary
He’s clever, they always said, which really meant don’t trust him. But when Claude pieced apart his walls to let someone inside they were always surprised to find that he wasn’t the snake they’d been expecting. He was ambitious, of course, but ambition in the hands of good men is a blessing, not a curse. And when he described the tenets of his vision for the future it was easy to believe that clever was simply a synonym for kind.
He’ll betray you, they said, already sitting in his palms, but when he drew his hands into fists to crush them they still bothered to cry out, why?

Summary
Her father never approved of her skills at the card table - said it wasn't honest work. Not like killing people for money, she supposed.
(Byleth has to hustle on the side to fund the Golden Deer's tea addiction; Claude finds the class checkbook and realizes that the math doesn't add up. A retelling of the GD route that slowly diverges from canon, starting with a game of poker.)

Summary
This will sound a little ridiculous, no matter how Sasuke phrases it. I see dead people is embarrassingly tacky, and I'm half-spirit seems like something Sakura might say when she's stoned sky high. So he settles for a shrug.
