    Summary

    “Get away from the cities,” Felix says, breathing hard. “You'll want to go somewhere remote, with food and water and a generator, in case the grid goes down.” If Sylvain didn’t know better—or maybe because he knows Felix too well—he’d almost say there’s a gleam to his eyes, like he’s been prepping for the apocalypse since age 13.

    -

    Estranged friends Sylvain and Felix take a road trip at the end of the world.

    Summary

    Felix's hair gleams a deep blue in the candlelight, thick as a rope that Felix winds through his fingers. He has brought it over his shoulder and turned his face aside to give himself room to work. In perfect profile, he has features like the silhouette of a Gautier mountain range - beautiful from a distance and deadly up close, even to those who have known it all their lives and grew up in its shadow.
    "Are you going to stare all night?" Felix flicks his gaze at Sylvain, his head still turned to the side. On anyone else, it would be coy. On Felix, it just feels like being looked at.

    Summary

    The Adrestian Empire has unified Fódlan and the Kingdom of Faerghus is no more. Felix Hugo Fraldarius, who was meant to become the King's Right Hand like his father before him, now lives the humble life of a traveling mercenary. And yet, his infamous legacy will follow him forever—the greatest act of treason since Nemesis betrayed the Goddess herself.

    And on a tiny island in the middle of the freezing northern sea, an exiled king dreams of returning to his throne.

    Summary

    “This isn’t a joke to me,” Felix says. Both versions he has of Sylvain — the Sylvain in dreams, the one here now, moving to lie properly on his bed — are the same kind of unlucky. Punished in the same, remorseless way. “Your life isn’t a joke.”

    “You’re always so worried I’m going to die,” Sylvain says fondly. “It’s sweet.”

    ——

    Felix and Sylvain share a long night.

    Summary

    Felix knows what he’s going to say even before he answers. It’s there in the curve of his cheek, still soft with youth; in that tent; in the light of the morning. It’s spring, and the horses are restless, and the camp of one hundred and fifty men – all cavalry, for faster travel – is waking up.
    “Two hours to ride to Mateus,” says Dimitri. “To stop the rebellion.”

    Summary

    “Are you saying there is nothing you would kill for? Not the goddess? Or Adrestia? The right suitor, if one should arise?”

    “If I have to kill to get a husband, then I’d rather be alone,” Dorothea said, wrinkling her nose. “In a perfect world, we wouldn’t need any of this, would we?”

    Dorothea finds a cause.

    Summary

    "She said—” Sylvain gags a little on the taste of his own exhale. “She said it didn’t have to be like this.” His limp gesturing encompasses the whole, the entirety. “Any of it. She wasn’t just asking if I wanted to join them for lectures.”

    Felix is back looking out the window, eyes level to the waning moon.

    Sylvain looks at his upturned hands on his knees. “She was asking if I want to defect.”

    Summary

    It’s not that he has anything against the idea of a quick, sloppy, life-affirming handjob up against some filthy bloodstained wall.

    This thing they’ve been doing – this thing made up of blowjobs in the dark before the rest of the monastery’s awake, this thing that involves Sylvain sneaking out of Felix’s room before dawn while Felix pretends to be asleep – it’s been going on long enough for him to put the pattern together, okay?

    He's not stupid. Battles make Sylvain horny.

    Summary

    “This is a bad idea,” Sylvain says, low and harsh. They’re pressed chest to chest. Sylvain runs warmer than Dimitri, Felix’s mind notes without Felix’s consent. His shoulders are bigger, he hasn’t lost every spare scrap of flesh off his bones these past five years.

    Sylvain is leaning down again. His breath is hot against Felix’s mouth. “This is such a bad idea,” he repeats as if Felix gives a shit.

    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.”

    Summary

    The cathedral bell marked midnight. The war was over and yet the ghosts gathered around his bed, craving something he didn’t know how to give them anymore.

    Keep running, he told himself before he fell asleep. Don’t look back. Run until the exhaustion takes you and the chase finally reaches its inevitable conclusion. Be patient. Be patient and it will be over soon enough.

    --

    In the time before the war, Dimitri and Felix go catch a deer.

    Summary

    Escorting Linhardt to the newly built Imperial Crest Institute isn’t the greatest sacrifice Felix has ever made for Adrestia, but it might be the most insufferable. Not that Linhardt would ever submit himself to anything that could be described as insufferable — or even unpleasant, frankly. In fact, Fodlan’s preeminent Crest scholar has made it a point to endure nothing but pleasant things after the war’s end.

    It becomes a point of contention.

    Come to think of it, Linhardt’s never really been one for contention, either.

    Summary

    Felix hasn’t seen Sylvain in eleven months, not that he’s counting, but he’d still recognize him anywhere. He always did take up all the air in any room. Now he’s doing it even outdoors. Felix can’t breathe.

    He counts to five. He remembers how to inhale and exhale. He abandons his bags and stalks over so that his shadow falls over Sylvain, folding his arms over his chest.

    “You don’t go to this school,” Felix says accusingly, by way of hello.

    Sylvain and Felix fake date at Christmas. It goes about as predictably as you’d expect.

    Summary

    In ship years, the Scylla is a woman well into her 40s. She’s mature, she’s dependable, and she’s seen some shit. Sylvain found her in a used shipyard over five years ago: battered by asteroids, her main engine a constellation of outdated parts, rats and birds nesting in her cargo bay. Maybe it was messed up for Sylvain to look at a spacecraft and see a metaphor, but there you go.

    -

    Sylvain hops around the galaxy looking for freedom and running from trouble. Jury’s still out on which one Felix represents.

    Summary

    “Alright, boy. So who are you really?”

    Claude tilted his head, a whisper of a smile on his face, as though he’d just missed a joke that everyone else was laughing at. “Come again?”

    Judith didn’t bother repeating herself. He’d heard her. “It’s a clever idea,” she continued. “You see the old man needs an heir. So you waltz in, a charming, well-spoken nobody, and you tell him you’re the one. It wouldn’t work on Oswald if he were younger, but he’s gotten sentimental in his old age, and more than a little desperate, so of course he wants to believe you."

    ***

    Judith is suspicious of the new Riegan heir.
