    Summary

    Temenos reaches up and pulls the hood of Crick’s own cape upward and over his head, blocking Crick’s view of the alley entrance. “With your life?”

    Crick swallows. “Yes.”

    Temenos casts one last glance at the alley entrance, murmurs a quick prayer to Aelfric, and then looks back at Crick. His eyes are ablaze with adrenaline and something else that Crick doesn’t have time to place before he says, “Follow my lead,” and pulls Crick into a kiss.

    Summary

    “Are you worried about him?”

    “Who? Partitio?”

    “Crick,” Throné said, rolling her eyes. “Are you worried about him?”

    Temenos snorted at that. “Worried?” he repeated. “Whatever for?”

    And that gave her pause for a moment, frowning as she thought to herself. She glanced out at the darkness. “He’s a good man,” she finally said, her eyes saying a million things neither of them could articulate.

    Temenos turned away, wind tousling his hair. “I suppose he is,” he said with a humorless smile. “But all the more reason not to get too attached, hmm?”

    (In which Temenos decides to go on a late night stroll)

    Summary

    “We should still do something about it,” Agnea concluded, freeing her face to pound her fist into her palm, “we know Temenos is interested—”

    Partitio perked up, a spark in his eyes as he added, “—an' Crick is so bad you can see it from the other continent.”

    “So we just need to help them along a little!” Agnea clapped her hands, letting out a little cheer. “It’ll be good for them!”

    The group decides Crick and Temenos' painfully long courtship has to end. Crick, separate from them, comes to much the same conclusion. Shenanigans ensue.

    Summary

    Above anything else, Sylvain knows it was Felix who’d done him in. In the unsettled aftermath that always followed a letter from Margrave Gautier, Felix had given him a steady, dark-eyed look and said: you should just tell him you’re spoken for.

    It was the sort of gesture that might make a man unreasonably confident.

    In which Sylvain is more or less locked away in a tower by his father for his refusal to marry, and Felix is a man who has never shied away from a challenge.

    Summary

    "Every victory deserves to be celebrated properly," Sylvain said to Felix, nodding his head toward one of the younger women, who kept glancing bashfully in their direction. Sylvain had leaned in so close to speak in Felix's ear that his breath raised goosebumps on Felix's skin. "You should indulge now and then, Felix. Nothing like sex to make you glad you're still alive, even for a little while."

    --

    Felix pulls Sylvain through the war, one victory fuck at a time. What's the point in hoping for more.

    Summary

    “Would you look at that,” Sylvain says, bleeding only a little more than he had been to start, and with a mostly dry cat to show for it. “A Fraldarius Wirehair.”

    A cat shows up on the march. Whether she sticks around is up for debate.

    Summary

    Sylvain reaches over from his cot to clumsily pat Felix on the arm. “Well anyway, don’t worry about it. If you’re looking for somebody interested, I don’t think you’ll have any trouble finding them. Anybody would wanna deflower you.”

    Felix doesn’t mean to say it, is the thing. He means to tell Sylvain to fuck off, colorfully, for his use of the word “deflower.” He means to tell him that he’s not worried, shut up. He means, more than anything else, to get them to drop this subject and never pick it back up again.

    Instead, for some fucking reason, he opens his mouth and asks: “Would you?”

    -

    Felix and Sylvain and the terrible, horrible, no good, very cringe attempt at being friends with benefits.

    Summary

    “Come on, Felix,” Sylvain says in that tone Felix hates. It’s the one that came out when they were preparing to find Miklan and his bandits, when Felix had argued with the Professor and Dimitri and Ingrid about it, when Sylvain had said, Come on, Felix. It’s a house mission. Am I or am I not a Blue Lion?, as if that in any way cancelled out being Miklan’s brother. “I know I’m not the right package for everyone, but still. You’ve seen me.”

    Before Felix can recover from that one-two punch—not the right package, as if Felix hasn’t been in love with him for years and years; you’ve seen me, a dagger slid between the fourth and fifth ribs, sharp and lethal—Sylvain continues, “And, you know, the Crest. It’s no Major Crest of Fraldarius, but you’ve got a lot going for you.”

    Felix is going to kill him.

    Sylvain gets a letter, drunk, and a confession, roughly in that order. Ingrid and Dimitri have opinions. Felix suffers throughout.

    Summary

    He wakes in unused drawing rooms. He wakes under the dome of the great hall. He wakes to the stale smell of long unaired clothing—comes to consciousness in his mother’s closet, his hands on her coats with intent he can’t name. He wakes in the garden to find he’s ruined the garden, his hands muddy, the flowerbeds wrecked, young green things with their heads snapped off in his grip.

    On his 30th birthday, Felix begins sleepwalking.

    Summary

    Sylvain had never been tested so throughly, or so pointedly; the punishment, if it was karmic, was oddly poetic. All his reckless fucking around as a young man and now forces conspired to deny him a single intimate moment with his committed partner.

    Sylvain and Felix play phone tag.

    He curls his knees up to his chest. “Lucina had a point.”
    Chrom’s eyes darken. “Don’t say that.”
    Robin looks away from him. He can’t say this, staring into Chrom’s eyes. “I was dreaming of killing you. Validar was probably controlling me, somewhat, but it was hazy. Maybe I’d just decided to. It felt too real, Chrom. Like somehow, I’m remembering her timeline.”

    Robin has nightmares. Chrom does his best to help.

    Summary

    “This is an inane discussion,” Soren said. “I’m coming with you, and that’s final.”

    He took a step forward and swayed.

    If Ike reached out and shoved with one finger, he was sure he could topple Soren right over. He kept his arms folded so he wouldn’t be tempted to try and make a point.

    “I’m still your commander, aren’t I?” Ike asked, raising his eyebrows. “You still trust me to make decisions?”

    “Yes, but, Ike –” he said.

    “Then you’ll do as I say, for the good of the company,” Ike said. “I won’t risk you. You’re too important.”

    He stepped close, adjusting the hood of Soren’s cloak. He lowered his voice so he wouldn’t be heard by Shinon and Gatrie, waiting up by the gate.

    “Go back to bed,” he said, his voice gentler. “I’ll be home soon.”

    --

    Post-Path of Radiance, Ike and Soren share a promise, a first kiss, and a bed. Not in that order.

    "Now, I have a certain matter to discuss with you, with regard to your future and that of our house. I suppose you might accuse me of burying the lede, but I thought I oughtn’t shock you with it. Your mother and I, having taken your… previous dismissals into account, have found a potential bride for you. Have you become acquainted with the young Lady Galatea?"

     

    Marrying Ingrid sounds like a terrible bother. Linhardt is inspired to great effort to avoid it. Caspar helps.

    Summary

    It's hard enough to grow up surrounded by political drama when all you really want to do is climb trees and take naps with your best friend. It's even harder when your best friend spends every summer in the next county over, and there's an entire sea between the two of you. Harder still when wartime falls upon everyone's shoulders, and words become a precious commodity.

    At least there will always be letters to help bridge the gap.

    [Excerpts from the long, long history of correspondence of one Caspar von Bergliez and Linhardt von Hevring, with the occasional letter from friends and family]
