the wind will never change by indigostohelit
Fandoms: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Arthurian Mythology
29 May 2017
Tags
Summary
The first thing that happens is that Gawain cuts someone's head off. You know who it is, and you know why.
What you don't know is that his blood was red, red like berries, and it spurted from his neck and splattered onto the ground and the dried apples laid in their platters and the dead pig on hers and the white linen of Gawain's tunic. That's why this is a Christmas story: because the knight's blood was red, but his eyes were green, and his clothes were green, and his skin was green, too, and because he had tracked snow into the hall, and because even after he put his head back on and got on his horse and left - even after they couldn't hear his hoofbeats, out on the stone path the Romans had built - the snow stayed, and stayed.

Summary
Astarion fast-talks an abnormal number of enemies into killing themselves in the shadow-cursed lands and the team makes idle (then less idle) conversation about it. It’s completely fine and doesn’t bother him at all and it absolutely doesn’t draw additional questions about why he does what he does for the team... and what they in turn would do for him.
IE: Origin-run Astarion fic because its interesting to me how the party reacts to their vampire buddy if he doesn’t have Tav to be a social buffer for him. Act 2 content and spoilers.

Summary
Jarlaxle is still watching him intently, still smiling like a panther about to pounce. "Exploring the surface is wonderful. Following you is—" He cuts himself off, afraid he's about to say too much.
Perhaps he already has. Or perhaps he's said just enough.

Summary
I’ve been a research assistant at one of the Area 11 labs for years now, but today, I was finally assigned to a serious project. No longer will I be stuck handing tools to or fetching rations for the scientists working on dull tasks like vitamin synthesis and hormonal distillation! No, this is a Real Research Project with a Real Title and everything. Even though I’m not a fully-qualified scientist myself, even being assigned to this project as an assistant has given me expanded security clearance, and I’ve already had a chance to peruse the documentation for this project.
They’re calling it “Project Fluegel.”
After their father's death, Byleth Eisner found a diary that explained everything, as he knew it. When Shez's mother passed away, they would find no such closure. But that doesn't mean she never kept one. And unlike her counterpart, she never wanted her own impossible child to find it at all.

Footfalls echo down our memories by EternalSinner
Fandoms: Fire Emblem: Fuukasetsugetsu | Fire Emblem: Three Houses
14 Feb 2021
Tags
Summary
The Rhea who died in Crimson Flower and the Edelgard who died in Silver Snow meet in what seems like a temporary purgatory. There they are told that because of their actions, Byleth -who cared deeply for both of them- felt so torn as to who to follow she inadvertently tore both herself and time apart, splitting the timeline in two.
Now it's up to both Edelgard and Rhea, who are still hurt by the memories of their own failure, downfall and death, to look back at their past and somehow find a way to create a future where Byleth is spared the agony of watching them go to war with one another.
This utterly displeases both of them, and they're still very angry with each other.
Luckily their bodies are invincible...Bookmarked by mllelaurel

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
"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
There was never going to be enough time. Caleb was always going to die while Essek was still young. Essek knows that, he knew that from the start, but understanding death and knowing it are two different things. He simply thought this would be easier.
“You have time. Take as much of it as you like. We’ll be inside when you’re ready.”
This is the story of a death, of a lifetime, and of coming to terms with loss. This is a story about time, and making the very best of it.
