    Summary

    For Subaru, loving is as easy as breathing air. For Emilia, on the other hand, it seems to be an insurmountable challenge that's almost trickier than overcoming the Sanctuary challenges. Despite all that she's learned, despite how far she's come, it feels as if her heart is still stuck in Elior Forest, frozen solid and lagging behind everyone else.

    Or, Emilia learns how to love, both herself and Subaru, in simple steps.

    Summary

    If there’s anything Subaru’s learned about Lugunica, it’s that this place is nuts. One minute you’re getting your face rearranged and swearing eternal rivalry against some grape-juice flavored asshole, the next you’re tenderly stitching his wounds up like his personal battlefield nurse and being like, friends. Seriously, he doesn’t get paid enough for this.

    If there’s anything Julius has learned about Subaru, it’s that he’ll never fail to catch him entirely by surprise. Od help him if he’s beginning to like that.

    Summary

    There's a mountain of letters from the capital on her desk, a hundred questions to answer for, and there's blood all over her bathroom floor, ugly flecks on both their hands and likely to leave terrible stains on Emilia's white clothes that won't ever come out - but all Emilia can care about is the simple fact that she has her knight back.

    (Post-arc 7 rambling, so watch out for spoilers.)

    Summary

    It is the first fall of snow Beatrice hasn’t had her library to tuck away in. And while she has, perhaps, missed the familiar quiet rows of books on occasion, she has no need for it now.

    It would be rather cruel, to hide away in a library while her contractor suffers from illness, even if he did bring it upon himself.

    “So mean, Beako.” Subaru’s voice hitches on one of those wheezing, frightening breaths, where it seems his voice has gotten stuck in his chest. “And so dramatic, too. It’s just a little cold.”

    Beatrice attempts to take care of Subaru. She's more or less successful.

    Summary

    “If I could go back in time,” Emilia begins it by sighing. “I would tell myself to pack slippers.”

    Ram stares at her blankly. “Slippers,” she repeats. “In the desert?”

    In which the Pleaides Watchtower company debates the rationality of frog warfare, amongst other equally ridiculous things.
