    Summary

    When Sylvain is six and a half and climbs to the top of a tower with no one’s hand in his, he realizes that each and every one of the people he loves has been born as a gift to something else. Dimitri was born for Faerghus, and Felix was born for Dimitri. Glenn was born for the royal family, and Ingrid was born for Galatea and for Glenn. He realizes, too, that what they’re for decides their future. Dimitri will lead them into a better world. Felix will guide his path, and Glenn will protect his life, and Ingrid will bind her future to theirs.

    And Sylvain, who was born for the border, will stand in a watchtower. He will see the enemy before it comes, and he will keep Dimitri and Felix and Ingrid and Glenn safe.


    Dimitri reappears after five years. Sylvain knows it's his role to fix the mess they're in, but he doesn't know how.

    Summary

    Felix hasn’t seen Sylvain in eleven months, not that he’s counting, but he’d still recognize him anywhere. He always did take up all the air in any room. Now he’s doing it even outdoors. Felix can’t breathe.

    He counts to five. He remembers how to inhale and exhale. He abandons his bags and stalks over so that his shadow falls over Sylvain, folding his arms over his chest.

    “You don’t go to this school,” Felix says accusingly, by way of hello.

    *

    Sylvain and Felix fake date at Christmas. It goes about as predictably as you’d expect.

    Summary

    Glenn’s grave is a quiet place. There’s a small bundle of flowers set atop the marble slab, snowdrop covered in hoarfrost, proof of his father’s love.

    Why you? Felix asks out loud. The words taste like ash in his mouth. Why you, and not him?

    Summary

    Ingrid hadn’t always been a skeptic. Once upon a time she had been a child. Once upon a time there had been… someone.

    (Or, how Ingrid loses her first - and only - love, then finds her again.)
