Summary
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw of this strange new place was you. Not the pastel sky, nor the water I could hear breaking against the shore, but you: your golden eyes, softened by the years and nestled in wrinkles that seemed chiseled from the fine stone of your visage; your hair, silver streaks at your temples, cascading waves drawn back with a simple tie; and your mouth, your smiling mouth, the corners only barely daring to lift as you stared back at me.
In Aubade, they’re reunited. Slowly, softly, they try again.

Summary
Although the universe has been brought under Reinhard's heel, he lacks the one thing necessary for the continuation of his dynasty: an heir. As Reinhard grows weaker, the duty to produce one falls to his sister.
When all it would take is one person's refusal to send the whole of the Neue Reich crumbling into a new civil war, the burden of choice weighs heavily on everyone.
------------
“Is that the only choice you feel you have?”
“The question of choice is a poor one. We all have responsibilities, and that sometimes means doing things willingly that we would not have chosen if we had been in different circumstances. Under those different circumstances, you might be asking my brother about marrying someone.”

Summary
You do not introduce yourself. Something stops you, some epoch-deep ache that halts the name before it can leave your nonexistent lungs. That name belongs to him now. He does not need to know the true reach of the cycle he is caught in, not yet. Let him have his innocence – the kind that was taken from you – for just a little longer. It is the only other thing you can give him.

Arrell was prudent to be close-lipped about being a werewolf, Alyosha knew, but at times it felt like he was being more than cautious. Sometimes, it felt like the man wanted as much distance from that part of himself as possible.
