Summary
Chief Justice Neuvillette and the Traveler were seen getting cozy together at the opening night of La Danse de la Pécheresse, the article reads. You might remember the pair was previously spotted following a romantic dinner together at Hotel Debord, before ending the night in the back alleys of Fleuve Cendre with a lurid kiss. Though the couple has been keeping things on the down low since then, they couldn’t keep their hands off each other during the performance—
Navigating a relationship with Fontaine’s most eligible bachelor, Aether finds, becomes a lot trickier when everyone in Fontaine decides to make it their business.

Summary
Alhaitham hums. “Would you like me to beg for your forgiveness?”
“If you can do it with any sincerity, perhaps you should.”
“All right.” He steps closer, reaching out to graze his fingers over Aether’s waist. “Tell me how I can make it up to you then.”

Summary
Zhongli’s smile is gentle. “We have lived long; that is true. Change does not move us the same way it does for humans. We dwell on the past rather than live in the present.” He reaches out a hand, places it on top of Xiao's own. The warmth of it feels foreign. “You have served your duty to Liyue a hundred times over, fulfilled your contract, and now this land is ready to stand on its own. It is time for you to find your own path.”
“If you wish,” says Xiao.
“No,” Zhongli says firmly. “You do not need to do anything for my sake anymore. I am nothing but a mortal. You are your own master now.”
(After the events in the Chasm, Xiao explores what it means to be human.)

Summary
To Shu Nakajima, Ren is a classmate, a friend, and a crush. To Kanji Tatsumi, he's a kid, a coworker, and a duckling. To Nanako Dojima, he's a history nerd, a tutor, and a protector, just like her big bro.
Only one person in the world knows that Ren is all of these things and more. And he's probably dead, so...
[an extremely self-indulgent character study of Ren Amamiya, told through everybody's perspective but his. Set in the year after Maruki's defeat.]

Summary
Her father never approved of her skills at the card table - said it wasn't honest work. Not like killing people for money, she supposed.
(Byleth has to hustle on the side to fund the Golden Deer's tea addiction; Claude finds the class checkbook and realizes that the math doesn't add up. A retelling of the GD route that slowly diverges from canon, starting with a game of poker.)

Summary
The first gig Dorothea helps Sylvain land is an extended stunt cameo in a stoner flick, a chance to fully commit to self-parody, playing a washed-up child star turned drug dealer. The wardrobe department outfits him in sunglasses and Hawaiian shirts. He grows some scruff and behaves like an acerbic dirtbag for two weeks. “Pitch-perfect casting,” writes the Tribune. Says Entertainment Weekly: “A familiar face in a nearly unrecognizable performance, Gautier looks like he’s having so much fun being loathsome.”

Summary
All Cloud wanted was to wait out his enlistment and move on with his life—to put ShinRa behind him. If he got to piss off some of their personnel in the meantime, great.
He hadn’t been prepared for Genesis Rhapsodos to walk into his life and get him conscripted into SOLDIER.
