    Summary

    “It’s about Catherine and Cyril.”

    “What about them? They’re dead. They died for Rhea when we took Fhirdiad. Bernadetta managed to take out Cyril, and—”

    And I fought Catherine, but I couldn’t bring myself to deal the final blow, so you did, she doesn’t say—another unnecessary revelation. They both know what happened that night.

    “Oh, so you’re unaware.” Hubert pauses for emphasis. “Catherine and Cyril are alive.”

    When the Battle of Fhirdiad is won and the smoke clears, two bodies are missing: Catherine and Cyril, who escaped the battlefield under the cover of night and the celebrations of the Black Eagle Strike Force. They flee to northern Faerghus and plot their next move. Their fate, however, did not go unnoticed, which they discover when Shamir appears on behalf of Edelgard and Hubert to bring them to Enbarr for questioning. Followed by their pasts, the three set off. Will they complete the trip with ease and even repair the relationships damaged by war and strife—or will their journey be a treacherous one ruined by their individual motives?

    Summary

    “Do I have a choice?”

    “There’s always a choice.”

    Hawks snorts. There’s the wrong choice, and then there’s the right one. He can make everything he’s done so far mean something, or he can throw it all away. If it comes out he’s been a double agent all along the League will fold in on itself and regroup, even less trusting than before. They won’t get an opportunity like this again.

    *

    When pictures surface of Hawks meeting with Dabi, he has to make a decision. Sacrifice his cover, or sacrifice his career.

    It's not much of a choice.

    Summary

    "She has her beauty, Mother says. If she just behaves herself, the world could be theirs, and hers too. So sit up straight, Rinea, and sip your tea with one pinky out, and dance the right way with tiny steps and no passion at all, and never, ever talk back to your elders and betters. Rinea strives to reshape and mold herself into the daughter they want, one who smiles and curtsies prettily. One who doesn't spend time out in the garden digging in the dirt, or baking with the servants, or learning white magic to heal injured baby birds. One who doesn't flush when pretty maids pass her by, one who will secure a high-ranking noble husband. That's all they want for her, and eventually, Rinea fools herself into thinking that's what she wants too. At age sixteen, Rinea is ushered from her garden, and she goes to a ball, with an invitation her parents fought and schemed to secure. And against all odds, the most noble suitor of all takes interest. Is it any wonder things turned out the way they did?"

    She's always been known for her boundless love. But now it's time for Rinea to learn how to love the subject she finds most difficult of all - herself.

    Warning for emotional abuse. Not a Berkut-friendly fic.
