    Summary

    Felix takes a step forward, and another, and another, and there are so many sentences that threaten to pass Sylvain’s lips, crashing like a rushing car from one side of his head to the other — you’ve changed so much, but also not at all; did I ever tell you how much I admired you?; sorry I was too busy running from continent to continent all these years; sometimes, it felt like I was trying to write my life story far from you just so I could one day come back and tell you all about it; did you know I’m probably still in love with you?

    And Felix stands in front of the counter, and Sylvain pushes the stool out with his foot, and Felix sits down, and the only thing that makes it past Sylvain’s strangled throat is—

    “Want something to drink?”

    Felix looks at him as though he’s opened a closet door and a dead, rotting body fell out. “I’m not planning on staying here any longer than I have to.”

    Aka: the fic where Sylvain isn't over his ex (and is a con artist). Luckily, his ex isn't over him either (and also becomes a con artist).

    Summary

    “Running away, Mr. Fraldarius?”

    All of sudden, everyone’s eyes are on him.

    He doesn’t give a damn about Sylvain's little mind games. He could leave without replying, other people’s opinions of him be damned, but the words spill out of his mouth before he’s even aware of it. “...No. I just couldn’t stand your shitty performance. Not when you could’ve taken them out a lot quicker.”

    The tension in the air is unbearable.

    “Maybe I could have, or maybe your imaginary tactics are crap,” Sylvain replies. “So how about you come down here and we’ll test your theory, hmm? Mr. Fraldarius.”

    “Fuck you,” is Felix’s last eloquent reply before leaving the combat room.

    ---

    After Faerghus Shatterdome's fall, Marshal Fraldarius and his son are forced to seek refuge in Almyra. Felix, scarred by experiencing his brother's death during the drift, vows never to pilot a Jaeger again; but a chance encounter with his childhood friend and Almyra's omnicompatible Ranger, Sylvain Gautier, might be enough to change everything.

    Summary

    Once upon a time, a beautiful princess was locked away in a tower overlooking the sea. A mean dragon served as her warden, keeping her trapped inside and devouring any who dared try to save her. One day, a brave knight, braver than any before him, slew the foul beast and rescued her from her curse. This is the story about how none of that happened.

    Summary

    The day they tell her the plan, Clarisse thinks it's a joke. She actually barks out a laugh. But that was before. Before she notices how Chiron is shifting on his back hooves. That’s before she looks over at Annabeth and sees the way she’s staring pointedly at the opposite wall. That was before Athena and Hermes shimmer into the Big House.

    She’s not laughing anymore.

    (in which annabeth fake dies and clarrise endures and observes the aftermath.)

    Summary

    Ferdinand sat back with a strange look on his face. “So, to put this in perspective, you are more troubled by a marriage between Edelgard and Cl - uh, Prince Khalid than the appearance of what might be a demonic being wearing your father’s face and a fish’s body?”

    “Well, one is probably the result of Caspar eating an ill-advised mushroom,” sulked Hubert. “And the other might one day be a necessity of the geopolitical climate.”

    After the war, there came a preponderance of ghosts to Enbarr. 

    OR: Ferdinand and Hubert go ghostbusting.
