Summary
“Honestly, Wriothesley, it’s as if you’ve forgotten everything we taught you,” his father says, mouth twisting into an exasperated grimace. “I am trying to tell you, in a civilized manner, that we have accepted an offer for your hand in marriage. A most coveted and desirable request from the Hydro Dragon Sovereign himself.”
“My what?”
Wriothesley nearly drops the teacup into his lap.
Years after accepting the Administrator position at the Fortress of Meropide, Wriothesley is called back to his estranged parents' estate only to find that the Hydro Dragon Sovereign has requested his hand in marriage. Arranged Marriage AU. Wriolette.

Summary
Wriothesley works shifts at a small bookstore to wrap up his sentence, serving the rest of it under house arrest, only being let out to work. It's boring, but he manages.
Except, it's not so boring now.
Now, that a handsome man to whom Wriothesley gives the nickname Tall White-haired and Gorgeous starts becoming a regular, browsing the shelves and spending his afternoons curled up in the corner reading his novels, and Wriothesley can't stop staring at him. He just wishes he had the balls to go up and talk to him.

Summary
“I do not know what Swordfather looks like in his physical form. But I smell woodsmoke.” Mizu inhaled deeply. “Metal in the air, ready to be made new. Grit between my fingers. Gratitude in my heart.”
“Ah.”
“For you…I suppose I do see some of that boy you were.” She could sense Taigen shift next to her. “The taste of metal on my tongue itself, bloodied mouth. An overwhelming urge to destroy you.”
Taigen snorted a laugh.
“It wasn't a joke,” Mizu told him with a frown; though the corners of her mouth threatened to betray her.
“I know,” he said, and she could hear the smile in his voice as well.
AU. Mizu loses her sight to the fire that claims her mother's life. Swordfather takes her under his care, though there are some things he cannot teach her—like how to wield a blade for revenge.

Summary
Instead of Ringo pulling them out of the ice, he is never able to find them. Mizu is left to find the strength on her own to save both herself and Taigen. Freezing and injured, the two samurai will have to learn to help one another or risk perishing under their own frigidness.

Summary
The brothel scene in episode 6 goes a little differently, transforming the events that follow. Mizu eventually finds himself stuck between Akemi and Taigen, who both seem to want him as much as they want each other. Is revenge still the only thing that matters?

Summary
I set the fire, Mizu had confessed thickly into Taigen's ear, when their mouths were still filled with ash, eyes half-sealed with tears from acrid smoke.
Did you have a choice? Taigen had asked as a response, hauling them forward another step across a bridge, toward another life.
Mizu had fallen silent—so silent that Taigen lifted his chin in worry that he had drawn his final breath without Taigen's permission.
No, the not-samurai had told him then. I did not have a choice.
And Taigen believed it.
Fool.
Post season 1 canon divergence.
Taigen crosses the bridge to pursue happiness with Mizu instead.

Summary
Taigen tells Akemi he wishes to be happy, but he is unsure what that could mean.
After searching out Mizu, Taigen finds himself accompanying him on a ship heading for London.
“I will come with you to London,” Taigen says.
“I don’t need your help,” Mizu says.
“Our duel. What if you decide to stay there after your revenge is concluded?” Taigen says. He does not say, what if you die there?
Mizu’s face makes the expression of a man who has just stepped in fresh horse manure. “Unlikely.”

Summary
Mizu is a flame burning hot to touch and Taigen is a moth who wants to follow her everywhere, even if he doesn't understand why.
When she leaves, he is left to pick up the pieces of his shattered, confused heart. His only hope of seeing her again is an empty promise of a duel that she wrote the contract for. He promises that he'll bare his heart to her and ask Mizu to take him however she see fit.
But what he gets when he does is way more than he bargained for.

Summary
“Why would anyone fancy being held in equal regard to an infant?” Neuvillette murmurs absentmindedly under his breath, scanning through the court transcript.
“What?”
Neuvillette flicks his eyes up at Wriothesley’s incredulous voice. His teacup is frozen halfway to his mouth, forgotten, as the warden is too busy staring at Neuvillette. It would’ve been comical if Neuvillette wasn’t so perplexed by his reaction. “Care to repeat that again?”
Neuvillette feels a little bit like a deer caught in the headlights under the weight of Wriothesley’s intrigued gaze, but haltingly starts to explain, “Well, the term baby would imply a certain degree of infantilization—”
Wriothesley bursts into peals of laughter.
“Perhaps it would be better to teach by example why it’s considered to be a term of endearment,” Wriothesley eventually says, wiping away tears of mirth. He levels Neuvillette with a raised eyebrow, gesturing to the Iudex’s desk. “If I may, Your Honor?”
Neuvillette blinks. “Of course, Your Grace.”
Or, five times Wriothesley calls Neuvillette an endearment and one time Neuvillette returns the favor.

Summary
“This must be a mistake. I had requested a single.”
Wriothesley shrugs. “There’s two rooms. Technically, your room is a single.”
“I - suppose that is true? But the intent was that I would not have a roommate. That is, not to say, I presume you are a troublesome fellow. Just…”
Wriothesley almost snorts a laugh. Fellow? Ah, that’s a new one. “I’m actually the repair guy,” he says, gesturing to the television.
“Are you? Oh thank archons, that’s a relief. I really thought—”
“I’m kidding.”
Modern AU in which Neuvillette is a law student, Wriothesley is on scholarship for boxing, and the universe keeps pushing them together. They say opposites attract, right? But are they really so different?

Summary
The glove is then tossed aside onto the desk once removed, among the forgotten documents, and once more Wriothesley presses a kiss to the back of Neuvillette’s hand. Along each knuckle. Contentment is apparent on the Duke’s face as his eyes fall closed whilst he lavishes Neuvillette’s hand with kisses.
No. Not contentment. Reverence.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
The inherent intimacy of Wriothesley removing Neuvillette's glove to kiss his hand.

Summary
“Because to love me is embedded glass and you are a fool if you have done so monsieur.”
“Then I am a fool.”***
It is a shame, really, that you, the Chief Attorney of Proteus & Portunus Litigations, the one that has been gifted with the title "mademoiselle", is an outsider. Not Fontainian in descent.Upon hearing a rumour or two, the Hydro Archon, ever the kind and just, decides to bestow you a certain privilege and honour with another title.
"𝙈𝙖𝙙𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙉𝙚𝙪𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚."
After all, two "outsiders" may just help each other become more "Fontainian."

Summary
‘“Apologies if I seem a little… stiff. It’s unusual for me to come here on unofficial business,” Neuvillette apologised, attempting to make his seating position less awkward by crossing one leg over the other. If Wriothesley was a sane and normal man, he would not have cast him a glance.
But Wriothesley was far from sane, and certainly not normal; his gaze dropped to the Iudex’s thigh, tracing the line at which his boot dug into the soft flesh of his leg. Neuvillette must’ve noticed his stare as he dropped his leg back down again and returned to his original position. The administrator shook his head rapidly to shake away the thoughts, much like a dog shaking off their damp fur after a bath.
“I never saw you visiting our old Admin while I was down here, why am I an exception?” Wriothesley dared asking, leaving his desk with the two cups of tea and sat himself down right beside the Judge.
“Truth be told… I just think you’re quite the interesting character, Mr. Wriothesley.”’
Wriothesley doesn’t know how to dance, and Neuvillette is willing to teach him.

Summary
“Lots of nerdy dudes with intimacy issues keep fish tanks.”
When Neuvillette learns how close Wriothesley came to being killed by the Primordial Sea, he finds his desire to care for the Melusines (diligently and from a safe emotional distance) has expanded to include the Duke of the Fortress of Meropide.
It’s not that odd. Neuvillette can do his best to help this particular human thrive, just like he’s done with the Melusines. It will help him better understand humans in general, which will help him better understand his purpose.
Surely he’s never going to have to think about it any more closely than that.

Summary
Love, much like justice, is not merciful – it merely is. To love the Iudex is to hand himself over to the embodiment of the purest form of justice, blindfolded with a sword of demise hanging over his head and scales tipping down in his hands.
And the scales of justice have rarely ever been tipped in Wriothesley's favor.
[Moments in time, between the Chief Justice and the Lord of Meropide. A study on trust, love, and justice.]

Summary
“You know,” Wriothesley says quietly, looking up at the red fabric of his umbrella above them. “I remember offering you tea the other day. And you…expressed your concern that your presence would disrupt things at the Fortress of Meropide.”
Humming, Neuvillette looks out across the waterway.
Wriothesley smiles and gestures to their surroundings with his free hand. “We’re not in the Fortress now, are we?”
“No…” Neuvillette says slowly. The corners of his mouth slowly curve upward into a surprisingly soft smile. “No we are not.”
After the events of 4.1 and Neuvillette's story quest, Wriothesley decides to make his feelings known to Neuvillette. He finds that they are not only not unwelcome, but reciprocated. Their relationship blossoms against the backdrop of Fontaine's impending crisis.

Summary
Marinette hadn’t expected to get caught up in an armed bank robbery. She hadn’t planned on striking up a quirky friendship with Chat Noir. She hadn’t imagined movie marathons or thoughtful gestures or late-night-into-early-morning heart-to-hearts. She hadn’t been prepared to slowly fall in love with the sweet and silly boy behind “Chat Noir”. Sometimes the universe gives you gifts you would never think to ask for yourself.

A series of interconnected Marichat drabbles.
