    Summary

    Ike came to Gallia at the end of summer, during the days when the sunsets painted everything a vibrant red gold. He was as handsome as the last time Ranulf had seen him, leaving the Tower of Guidance, a champion with flinty eyes and broad shoulders, his head held high in spite of everything he’d seen. He had always cut an impressive figure, like a hero from a storybook. Beorc or laguz, it made no difference. Ike had always stood apart.

    He did not come alone. There was Titania, with her vibrant red hair, and Mist, standing by her brother’s side.

    Soren, as always, was right beside Ike.

    War is a simple thing. What comes after, that is hard.

     

    Ike comes to Gallia in the months before Skrimir's ascension to set the past in order. Ranulf, struggling in wake of the war, looks for an escape. And Skrimir escorts Soren to the library.

    Summary

    “It wasn’t as bad as the time that poor marquis’ son tried to dance with you,” Mist said to Soren, “and my brother completely lost his mind.”

    Ike made an annoyed noise at the back of his throat. Soren looked away.

    “Or are we still not talking about that?” Mist asked, sounding deeply unimpressed.

    Summary

    “Do you hate yourself, Dorothea?”

    Dorothea pauses mid-bite.

    There’s silence in the tea garden. No birds chirping - none had since the battle of Garreg Mach - no wind, no voices, no music. Nothing. A scrape of a teaspoon against a porcelain cup. Mercedes stirring her drink.

    “Yes,” Dorothea says.

    Summary

    Soren never made it to the village in Gallia, under the care of a woman who hated him, nor was he sold to a sage who abused him, nor was he found dying and saved by Ike. Instead, he was raised under his father's thumb, becoming a feared and hated ghost by the people.

    Ike never had his studious mage friend at his side growing up, and the role of Staff Officer was carried about by Greil and Titania for many years until being filled suddenly when Daein attacked.

    At some point, their paths might cross, but will Ike be able to befriend Soren as easily as he could have if they had met as children?

    A story of how Path of Radiance might have looked if Soren was raised as a Prince instead of Ike's shadow.

    Summary

    Edelgard speaks without thinking.

    “And when we’re old, we’ll complain about how much our bones hurt by the warm fire.”

    “What do you mean?” asks Byleth. They spin, to the rhythm of the song, feet stepping perfectly in sync.

    “Forgive me, my teacher. Please ignore my ramblings.”

    If only hope were fleeting, and not something that clung desperately to Edelgard’s very soul.

    Or

    Edelgard learns what it means to be happy.

    Snippets of Edelgard’s life at four different stages. Meant to be a companion piece to my other story, Safe Harbors.
