    Summary

    There are ways to change that are subtle and uncover the goodness already present in the soul of a man and then there are ways that impact the soul like a piano to the back of the head.

    Since Lysandre had never even noticed that there was a choice to be made the universe chooses the latter option for him.

    Summary

    The loss of his physical eye and the trauma of the loss of yet another friend brutally force Dimitri's third eye open, allowing him to see, speak to and interact with ghosts. The only problem is, he's so ridden by guilt and madness that he... really doesn't notice the difference at first. He'd already been seeing ghosts for years, after all, and there weren't all that many actual ghosts around.

    But there is at least one. Captain Jeralt had resisted fully passing on to the next life in favor of staying to make sure his daughter would be alright-- but he lost track of her when she fell at the battle of Garreg Mach. He only really knew two things: First, that if she was alive, she would find her way back to her students, particularly her most prized student, the head of her house.

    Secondly, this idiot kid needed help.

    Summary

    "Your heart bleeds kindness, Dimitri. You love harder than anyone I have ever met.”

    “Kindness doesn’t win wars,” Dimitri said.

    “I don’t want to win a war,” Byleth said. “I’m tired of winning wars."
    ***
    Having tried everything that she can and continuously coming up short, Byleth is tired. She doesn't think she has it in her to live through their days at the Officer's Academy again. In a last ditch effort to save everyone, including Edelgard, she asks the one person that she knows still living that might want to save her.

    Dimitri doesn't know what to do with himself now that he's not fighting. Dimitri had been fighting for his entire life, ever since he watched his father die all those years ago in Duscur. And now, it seemed his biggest problem seemed to be the nobles clamoring for his attention, pressuring him to have an heir and to restore the Kingdom to its former glory. But given the opportunity to travel back in time and stop the war from ever happening well...

    Maybe he can finally redeem himself for all the mistakes he made as the boar.

    Summary

    "Am I all right?" Rory wants to say. "I am being eaten, Martin. Consumed piece by piece and fed to the Mad God that is myself. I can no longer tell where I end and Sheogorath begins. And, worst of all, the majority of the time I don't mind." But instead she only says, "I'm fine."

    An exploration of what would happen if a character ends up trying to end the Oblivion Crisis while already being halfway to mantling Sheogorath.

    Summary

    After setbacks from every corner: from the hardware to the software to the political, Five Pebbles is finally online. The Administrators can rest, the Engineers can toil at their leisure, the Citizens can continue ignoring the new god beneath their feet, and the Iterators can get to know their newest member.

    This, naturally, immediately veers sideways.
