    Summary

    Leonie Pinelli is a commoner, poor, practical, and completely lacking in romance. If her feet were any more firmly on the ground, she’d be in it. Like a potato.

    Lorenz Hellman Gloucester is noble, rich, morally upright, and overly uptight. If he gets any more tightly wound, he’s going to pull something.

    An unexpected friendship becomes rather something more through bad haircuts, shared food, and a continent-spanning war.

    OR: Leonie/Lorenz slowburn friends-to-lovers paired fics, one written from Leonie POV and the other from Lorenz POV as the two dunderheads grow up, experience Emotions, and eventually get a clue.

    Leonie’s POV features: Swearing! Impostor syndrome! Folk music? Handicrafts!

    Lorenz's POV features: Repression! Thirst! Paperwork? Magical nerdery!

    Each fic in the series is readable independently, and their intersecting but nonidentical journeys (and different voices) mean that each has its own flavor and appeal.

    Summary

    Her condition is curious, difficult to understand—but Dorothea’s recent dark magic practice has helped her gain some insight. There’s nothing concrete, but she’s begun to notice details she couldn’t before—like the fact that she can sense a malignant energy wafting off Edelgard like thick smoke, clouding her mind and leaving her as nothing more than a hollowed-out shell of who she once was. Those clouds seem to be shifting now. Dorothea hums in thought, trying her best to observe Edelgard’s expression and movements in the dark.

    “Dorothea,” Edelgard says, with a strange tinge of clarity. “I’m—How much have I missed, this time?”

    [MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE 3 HOPES AZURE GLEAM ROUTE!]

    Still suffering the lingering effects of Thales's dark magic, Edelgard goes into hiding following the events of Azure Gleam. Dorothea stays with her while she recovers, searching for a cure.

    Summary

    Hapi’s tome is long gone by now, and her satchel clinks at her hip as she jostles the remnants of shattered vulnerary flasks. All she can do is blindly grope around and plug up the hole best she can with her bare, grimy hands. Blood seeps out around her fingers and Hapi can only think about how no one else has ever touched this part of Petra.

    Hapi saves Petra and Petra saves Hapi.

    Summary

    She taps her head back against the wall. She thinks of Felix, again. His hair is getting long, the fringe falling constant in his face. He should have let her take a dagger to it before he left. Ingrid grips her reins, though her horse is in no danger of wandering off. Her fingers flex in the thick hide of her gloves. She does not allow her mind to linger on doomed solutions for his absence. Jobs run long. Promises get broken. It is a bitter world she survives within, but it is one consistent in its cruelty.

    He has three days before she leaves. He has three days before she will be forced to move along. It is their promise to one another. When the sun rises, time will begin ticking. For now she simply waits.

    There are rumors that infest the Kingdom’s military like maggots. They’re expelled through spit-out teeth and they blossom in the mud like flowers, or hands reaching up through grave dirt.

    They say the Imperial Army harbors an angel.

    As brutal as it is accurate to what the game says about war. The author's take on Ingrid especially cuts right to the bone of the character.

    Summary

    Drinking and laughing and telling stories—it distracts from the point. It won’t save anyone. Won’t change anything. It’s as productive as if they’d walked back to camp earlier in the day, groping blind in the snow.

    On the cusp of a turning point in the war, Felix suffers a moment of doubt.

    Summary

    “How old were you the first time you killed someone?”

    Petra lets loose her bow just as the question is asked. The arrows flies through the air perfectly, embedding itself into the center of the target. She allows herself a small moment to feel pleased with her own skills, then turns to face her visitor.

    Felix Fraldarius stands there, his typical scowl on his face.

    “I’m begging your pardon?” she asks. Her and Felix are not friends. They barely know each other. In truth, she just learned his name last week. She struggles to keep the Blue Lions apart – something about them makes their faces blur together.
