    Summary

    “Um, okay,” Nicky says. Stops. Thinks. Looks at Aaron with too much urgency, like he has to entertain him fast or he’ll disappear into thin air. “Uh—Andrew! Yes. Andrew and I are having a fight right now.”

    Andrew shakes his head at Aaron. “Completely one-sided.”

    “He thinks his gaydar is better than mine. Can you believe that?”

    “Never said that.” But it’s probably true.

    or: Nicky and the twins bond about gay shit

    Summary

    An AU where Mary never got Nathaniel out. Instead, he became too invaluable of an asset to be killed off or 'gifted' to Tetsuji. Instead, he's raised with Ichirou and Jean as a part of Ichirou's inner circle.

    He'd always had a knack for languages and lying and all the 'messy stuff' came easily enough when your father is called the Butcher of Baltimore. So Nathaniel became the Wraith. He was untraceable, unknowable, infalliable; a criminal fairytale.

    When Kevin Day leaves the Nest, there's no better person to send.

    ~

    "Who the hell are you?" Andrew demanded.

    He wasn't anyone, not really; not anymore. He hadn't really been anyone in years now. There'd been a time. Once. But there were entire lifetimes between who he could have been and what he'd become. He could taste it sometimes; blackberries and sand stinging his tongue like the iron branded on his shoulder.

    It was easier to pretend he'd never been anyone at all.

    "I'm nothing," he answered. The ghost of a smile pulled at his lips; sharp and cruel. "A wraith." The Wraith, he didn't say, but the shadows ran through Andrew's eyes and he wondered if Andrew had heard it anyways.

    Summary

    Andrew is looking to live his life in peaceful nothingness, but his new neighbor's cat won't stop sneaking onto his balcony. As much as he tries to not make it into something, Andrew finds himself drawn to the mysterious and tempting man next door.

    Neil is just trying to find a reason to not leave Palmetto after everyone else has moved on. But he never thought he would want to run toward something in favor of running away.

    (In a slightly different world, two people find themselves meeting in a softer setting and in just as much need of each other. A story about dealing with pasts, sharing secrets and a cat who is an asshole yet manages to charm everyone around it.)

    Summary

    “Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”

    “Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.

    “How do you know?”

    Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.

    That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.

    “He has to know,” Andrew says.

    “Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”

    Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

    Summary

    “You have chosen a strange time of year for travel, Claude,” the man said, not unkind. 

    He hadn’t said his name, and the man spoke it as though it wasn’t new. 

    “So I’ve been told,” Claude replied in an even voice, and it felt honest. He couldn’t seem to work up any unease. Not even the same wariness the steep mountainsides caused to well up in him. He had only the same steady evenness, some certainty he couldn’t yet identify sliding into place. “A bit risky, too.”

    “Are you fond of risks, Claude?” the man asked, but his eye was soft, the curve of his mouth more gentle than not.

    “I suppose it depends what they can get me.” Claude met his smile with his own, then cocked an eyebrow, tilting his head. “And you are…” 

    “Dimitri.” A pause. “Of the Blaiddyd line.” 

    “Of the Blaiddyd line,” Claude repeated, and then nodded, as though it were no surprise.

    Deep in the Gautier mountains, Claude meets a long dead king. Or, the anatomy of a haunting.

    Summary

    Moving on, Dimitri focused on the question at hand. “You wish to… spar?” He pressed his lips together, faintly, unsure. “With me?”

    Claude raised his eyebrows. “That a problem?”

    Dimitri bit his tongue to hold back his first response, 'it’s strange enough to warrant scrutiny,' and then his second, 'I hardly ever see you here even with those you are more inclined to pass the time with,' as well. He shifted his stance and rested both hands on his hips to dissipate the thoughts further, concealing the unfavorable judgment to the best of his ability. He studied Claude for a moment, not bothering to attempt to hide it. Claude stared back, affably unreadable.

    “No, it’s not.” Dimitri decided. He smiled, small and anticipatory. “Pick your weapon.”

    **

    Sunset, alone together at the training grounds, and Claude wants to spar. Certainly, Dimitri thinks, this is the one situation he can afford to feel as though he's entering it on an even keel.

    Summary

    Dedue weighed his options. He’d been so prepared to flee once he saw the Empire toppled, prepared to confront the fact that he now had nothing to go back to, with Duscur still in ruins and Dimitri gone. The sheer loneliness of that prospect was almost overwhelming in its enormity.

    And then here was Claude, looking at him with the kindest and most hopeful expression on his face, holding his hand out in welcome.

    (Claude catches Dedue before he can leave Enbarr. Dedue finds a place to belong.)

    Summary

    Dedue’s got this natural, calming air about him, and Claude has been soaking up all that serenity like he’s dying for it. He wishes he could break through the film of awkwardness and speak more freely… not that he’s holding himself back, just that he can tell Dedue is a bit strained. Claude thinks he might always be like that, even with Dimitri, which is unfortunate. Suddenly, he desperately, fiercely, wants to make Dedue forget himself. For him to laugh, or at least smile fully.

    Summary

    Making bad notes is part of learning. You make a bad note, you shift your fingers around, you try again. 

    Mafuyu takes a deep breath, on days where it feels like the bad notes pile up at his feet, and then he tries again.

    Summary

    "What the fuck is this?" His heart is somewhere in his throat. Morbidly curious fingers click the arrow keys. Mafuyu. Mafuyu, again. Mafuyu, smiling, Mafuyu, with someone else's hand at his jaw and such a sensual look in his eyes that something inside Ritsuka slips.

    Mafuyu, held from behind by a boy with sandy hair and warm eyes, twin smiles stretching thier faces.

    Ritsuka chokes down a sound.

    There's no more languid summer day, no more quiet coffeeshop, no more fluttering warmth in his gut from Mafuyu's gentle attentions. He doesn't realize that he's shaking until his hands ball into fists; doesn't know he's sweating until a bead slips from his hairline and trails the line of his jaw.

    Ritsuka stumbles upon Yuki's old Instagram feed.

    “Can you read?”
    Sothis tumbled to the floor, grabbing at Byleth’s coat with tight fists. We have been had, child! Code yellow! Swerve! Swerve!
    The words fell from Byleth’s lips without hesitation.
    “I don’t know. Can you write?”
