    “My name is Ferdinand von Aegir,” he wants to say. He wants to write to his soulmate those words. Tell them who he is and read their name in turn.

    Yet he can’t, knowing that the moment his name touches paper it’ll turn into nothing but scrambled lines and a wasted note.

    Summary

    “Emperor Edelgard and I have already crafted the rumor, and how we wish to spread that information. All you need to do is exactly what I tell you. Nothing more.”

    “Hubert, you’re being strangely evasive. What is my role in all of this?”

    The topic could not be danced around for any longer, so Hubert bluntly delivered his proposal.

    “The only information that would be valuable enough to be used against us, without damaging the reputation of the Emperor or her empire, is information regarding one of us. Or in this scenario, both of us. My plan is to distract the enemy with a falsified secret affair. I would be one of the conspirators in question, and you would be my… private partner.”

    - - - - - - - - - - - -

    Ferdinand and Hubert pretend to be secretly dating each other, in order to distract a dangerous group of rebellion spies hiding in Enbarr. But they’re both professionals. So there’s no chance of them catching real feelings for each other… right?

    Summary

    Iwaizumi blinked his gaze over to Oikawa, "Last time was supposed to be a one time thing," he said, voice low, lacking some conviction.

    Oikawa's lips twitched into a smirk and he brought them hovering just over Iwaizumi's, "One time thing, Two time thing, what's it matter as long as it's not a Relationship thing?"

    Summary

    Byleth’s memories before the events of Imperial Year 1180 are vague at best and nonexistent at worse, but he does remember a few things. Once, when he was younger, he had been curious enough to poke around in Father’s things while he wasn’t looking; when Father suddenly called and asked what he was holding, Byleth replied, “A knife,” and then ran off before Father could grab it from him. He has no recollection of what happened after that, only that it probably hadn’t ended well for anyone involved.

    He’s reminded of this now as he holds the training lance behind him, backed up against the wall as he is. “I am not letting you train our child in the lance, for the love of—”

    Byleth, Jeritza, and life after the war.
