    Summary

    First he chose to lead the Golden Deer. And he fell in love with Claude. Verdant Wind.

    Then he chose to lead the Black Eagles. And he fell in love with Edelgard. Crimson Flower.

    Then he chose to lead the Blue Lions. And he fell in love with Dimitri. Azure Moon.

    Then he went back to the Black Eagles, convinced Edelgard was the key to stopping it. He just had to oppose her at crucial moments. Silver Snow.

    No one could ever guess what powers merging with a goddess could grant someone. Turning back the hands of time, once so difficult, became second nature to him. And he turned them back again and again, wanting to find a way to save them all.

    Now Byleth has reached the end of his rope. He’s no longer going to play the role of the kind, sympathetic professor. He couldn’t save his father, but he’s determined to save the three of them, and every other student he came to care for during his time as a teacher.

    All it took was a bit of trickery with time… and now all three leaders are here, at Garreg Mach, as they agreed upon five years ago.

    But what waits for them is more than a reunion.

    It’s a reckoning.

    Summary

    When Khalid became Claude, he didn't expect to run into the Fódlan dancer he saw at the border sometimes. Neither of them should've been there back in the day. A shared secret might not be the worst thing for them now.

    Summary

    “Be serious,” she instructed, a hint of a smile in her voice.

    “Me? Serious?” Claude teased, grinning openly now, “The sky would fall first.”

    “I can see that,” Byleth said, swallowing a smile. She got serious, then, adding, “It’s about Raphael.”

    Summary

    ‘I’m sorry about Dimitri.’ Byleth said, deciding that saying something would be better than saying nothing at all. While she didn’t doubt the war had forced Claude to be confronted with death on more than one occasion, Dimitri’s death in particular hit a little closer to home.

    Claude could deny it all he wanted, but Byleth wasn’t a fool. She’d seen the glances they’d given each other during their time at the academy. The way Claude had teased and taunted in order to capture people’s attention, but a certain prince’s attention especially so.

    The answer he gave her then didn’t surprise her one bit.

    ‘Whatever for?’ he asked, almost sounding a little bitter about it.

    The way he avoided her gaze spoke volumes.

    ---

    Or: Byleth and Claude talk about the people they've lost, and the people they hope they will not lose.

    Summary

    Claude had a lot of enemies, but getting kidnapped so easily was not one of his proudest moments, especially when he learned what they wanted with him, or rather what they were going to do to him… he shouldn't have run off like an idiot…

    When Those Who Slither in the Dark decided to take Claude for their newest experiment, they didn't think they would be this successful, of successful at all, but they were. and the consequences are immense, for Claude and the future of Fodlan that is…

    Summary

    He couldn’t give up. He wouldn’t give up. Not in the pursuit of this dream. Deeper and deeper into darkness and madness he went, searching, searching, until one day…

     

    After years of toiling alone in the depths of Abyss’ darkness, Claude has done it. With Failnaught’s heart to power the spell, he bends time itself and launches himself into the past. He’ll stop the war. Stop his Deer from dying. Stop Hilda from dying.

    The bright-eyed schemer is long dead. After being flung back in time to his younger self’s body, he’s lost. His trauma and years of isolation are in the way of change. He can’t act ‘normal’. He can’t even act like Claude… He never thought to save himself. Too late for that now. (Right?) Steeped in Nabatean magic, he’s having side effects on top of everything else. The Golden Deer aren’t buying his act, the Nabateans are sniffing him out, Dimitri can see his 'ghost', and he can’t stop the leak of old pain and memories.

     

    He wasn't a man who gave up on his dreams. He wasn't a man who accepted defeat. He fought and clawed and screamed against destiny, and now that he was here... now that he was finally here... he would be damned if he blew it.

    Summary

    Claude gazes at Dimitri with a distant expression, one that Dimitri has never seen before. It’s cold, calculating, and bitter.

    Then he turns away and mounts his wyvern.

    “Goodbye, Dimitri.”

    -

    When Faerghus and Leicester form an alliance at Gronder Field that changes the tide of the war, Edelgard ends up captured and kept as a prisoner of war in Garreg Mach. But after five years, Dimitri isn't the same man as he used to be, and Claude's shoulders are heavy.

    Before they even can work on fixing the war-torn Fòdlan, Dimitri and Claude have to work on settling their own differences—perhaps even gaining something new in the process.
