    Summary

    Qifrey tips his head. "Do you dislike it?"

    A pause. "I haven't tried it." Olruggio's tone is odd, slightly clipped. Qifrey can see him biting at the inside of his cheek. "It laces in the back, you know."

    "Oh," Qifrey says. "Should I— That is, would you like help?"

    Qifrey provides a remedy for Olruggio's back pain, with some strings attached.

    Summary

    There once was a lad from Fraldarius
    Whose balls it was said were quite hairless
    He laid down with a knight
    Who treated him right
    Now his two eggs resemble a bird's nest

    The word around camp is Felix has a suitor.

    Summary

    "I missed you," Sylvain says, and in saying it finds it's true. "Does that count for anything?"

    "Next to everything else? Not really."

    Sylvain laughs. That's part of what he missed: the directness, the honesty like a jab to the throat.

    Sylvain gets met where he's at.

    Summary

    "It's him, isn't it?" Utowin ventures. "Qifrey."

    "What about him?"

    "What indeed," Utowin says, cheerful, though his gaze that sweeps the room and Easthies himself is shrewd.

    Easthies is unsettled after the events at the Stairway River.

    Summary

    Olruggio barks a laugh, then Qifrey does—something, hits the right spot with the right pressure and Olruggio groans instead. It's mortifying, really, but Qifrey just does it again, harder, and Olruggio goes slack under the touch.

    "Ah, hell," Olruggio croaks.

    Qifrey offers Olruggio a massage.

    Summary

    There's a lot Satomi doesn't know, like what Kyouji likes to eat when he's sick. Whether he's killed anyone. Where he is right now.

    Kyouji is late to his birthday dinner.

    Summary

    Let him have his good time, Qifrey thinks, and, conjoined with that thought: he'd have more of them, after all, had he not thrown his lot in with yours.

    Always the one hand, then the other. Qifrey would say he's used to it, but then it wouldn't work, would it?

    Summary

    "You know, you don't have to take my word for it, Felix." This is the sound of Sylvain being chivalrous. Felix's focus slides off of Dimitri.

    "No," Felix says. "I don't."

    "Wonderful," Dimitri says mildly. "I'm glad you've come to an agreement."

    He has his own theories about the alchemy of his and Kyouji's personalities combined: Kyouji condones the outlandish, and Satomi's ideas of what's possible warp accordingly.

    Summary

    Afterward, Olruggio learned he'd been wrong: it didn't change things. Or all that changed was the cadence of his nights—only some of them, but enough to leave him wondering when and if.

    Summary

    "Why not date?" Kyouji asks at length. "What's wrong with taking somebody out, getting to know them?"

    Satomi blinks. "I already have that," he says. "With you."

    Kyouji cuts him a deal and Satomi reneges, shamelessly.

    Summary

    He looks down at his body with the very distasteful hole through its head. The picture is obscured in part by Artemy Burakh, who kneels over the second (first? fifth? hundreth?) Daniil with bandages and bottles spilling from his various pouches.

    "What are you hoping to achieve?" he asks.

    Daniil and Artemy and the problem of collateral damage.

    Summary

    Maybe in a minute, or an hour, or another ten years, it'll be small again, against everything else he has, and is.

    With all his practice, it should be easier to imagine.

    Summary

    Dimitri clears his throat. "No one's home," he says. "It's just me."

    "Right," Felix slips a finger into the waistband of Dimitri's soft pink velour tracksuit and snaps it against his hip. "Wearing this for nobody, then?"

    It's like they say: the clothes make the man.

    Summary

    It's a dangerous game Sylvain is playing. He can see each opportunity as it passes within inches of him. Maybe that's Sylvain's problem. He doesn't disappear enough on the battlefield. He's always still there, a little ways apart from his instincts, always wondering if he moved wrong, if he chose to move wrong—

    Sylvain can't conceive of a relationship with himself that doesn't involve pain. As such, he goes out of his way to make it hurt.

    Summary

    Sylvain draws in a breath. He’d been so good at this, once. So good at getting something, and good at convincing himself it was what he was after.

    He looks up at Felix: controlled, stunning Felix. He’s surprised it doesn’t sound like he’s kidding when he says, “What if I said you were in charge?”

    Sylvain, a little older and a little thicker, brings a stranger home from the bar.

    Summary

    Felix wasn’t talking to Sylvain, and Ingrid, if she knew what Sylvain was up to, would have too much to say. Dedue didn’t like being the middle option. He didn’t want to be on the board. He insisted upon this, silently and to himself, while he unlocked the door to his apartment and let Sylvain in behind him.

    Dedue picks Sylvain up from the hospital.

    Summary

    Slowly and painfully he stood. In the place where he’d lain, a damp, upraised silhouette of his body remained, as if he’d sweat it in the night. With one fingertip he touched it; it was the runny pink color of a fresh burn, and wet, thick like phlegm.

    Even more bizarre was that he thought he could see it moving.

    Summary

    Whatever secret-keeping is afoot will be unraveled. Felix will reveal to Sylvain that he followed Sylvain across the continent to a market in Derdriu without his knowledge. In turn, Sylvain will kindly reveal why he’s here in the first place, maybe without fucking lying this time.

    After three decades of marriage, Felix’s tips for a happy relationship are, as ever, to have fun and be yourself.

    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.
