    Summary

    Wyll’s leaned up against the farm fence in the distance, watching Astarion flutter and flirt. His mouth is a thin line.

    “We’ll give lust a try,” Dorothea says blandly. “Let’s see what you do with it.”

    (Or: Astarion seduces the Dark Urge. Wyll watches with increasing concern.)

    Summary

    There’s a pause, and then Wednesday speaks again. “I admit that I do have one ulterior motive in asking you to visit for the holidays.”

    Enid laughs, unsurprised; there’s the Wednesday she knows, even a phone line and a coast away. “Yeah? What is it?”

    “I told my parents that I’m in a relationship,” Wednesday says, offhand, like it’s just another sentence and not a lightning strike to Enid’s heart. "With you, specifically."

    Summary

    “Can you read?”
    Sothis tumbled to the floor, grabbing at Byleth’s coat with tight fists. We have been had, child! Code yellow! Swerve! Swerve!
    The words fell from Byleth’s lips without hesitation.
    “I don’t know. Can you write?”

    ~

    Byleth can’t read, Sothis can, and the Garreg Mach student body tries to see how far their newest professor is willing to push her luck.

    Summary

    Sylvain's father always says that no one celebrates Solsticetide like Gautier. It was bad enough when Sylvain was growing up: Goddess forbid the margrave's heir fail to buy into the festivities. It's grotesque now. Two years ago the people of Faerghus were boiling mouldered barley and toasting rats over the coals for their Solstice night feasts, and that was if they were lucky. To pretend that five years of civil war haven't ravaged people and land alike, that the old hearty customs can go on just as they have for centuries, it turns Sylvain's stomach—

    Felix interrupts him. "Then come to Fraldarius."

    * * *

    Sylvain visits Fraldarius to help the new Duke preside over the winter holidays. It's a lot more complicated than he thinks.

    Summary

    Felix’s face is wet. His hands are moving above Sylvain’s chest, one spell after another flickering out like a candle in a drafty room. Felix has always been terrible at healing. Sylvain blinks up at him, dazed.
    “Fe,” he says.
    “Don’t,” Felix grits out. “Don’t.”
