    Summary

    Leonie Pinelli is a commoner, poor, practical, and completely lacking in romance. If her feet were any more firmly on the ground, she’d be in it. Like a potato.

    Lorenz Hellman Gloucester is noble, rich, morally upright, and overly uptight. If he gets any more tightly wound, he’s going to pull something.

    An unexpected friendship becomes rather something more through bad haircuts, shared food, and a continent-spanning war.

    OR: Leonie/Lorenz slowburn friends-to-lovers paired fics, one written from Leonie POV and the other from Lorenz POV as the two dunderheads grow up, experience Emotions, and eventually get a clue.

    Leonie’s POV features: Swearing! Impostor syndrome! Folk music? Handicrafts!

    Lorenz's POV features: Repression! Thirst! Paperwork? Magical nerdery!

    Each fic in the series is readable independently, and their intersecting but nonidentical journeys (and different voices) mean that each has its own flavor and appeal.

    Summary

    Her condition is curious, difficult to understand—but Dorothea’s recent dark magic practice has helped her gain some insight. There’s nothing concrete, but she’s begun to notice details she couldn’t before—like the fact that she can sense a malignant energy wafting off Edelgard like thick smoke, clouding her mind and leaving her as nothing more than a hollowed-out shell of who she once was. Those clouds seem to be shifting now. Dorothea hums in thought, trying her best to observe Edelgard’s expression and movements in the dark.

    “Dorothea,” Edelgard says, with a strange tinge of clarity. “I’m—How much have I missed, this time?”

    [MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE 3 HOPES AZURE GLEAM ROUTE!]

    Still suffering the lingering effects of Thales's dark magic, Edelgard goes into hiding following the events of Azure Gleam. Dorothea stays with her while she recovers, searching for a cure.

    Summary

    Hapi’s tome is long gone by now, and her satchel clinks at her hip as she jostles the remnants of shattered vulnerary flasks. All she can do is blindly grope around and plug up the hole best she can with her bare, grimy hands. Blood seeps out around her fingers and Hapi can only think about how no one else has ever touched this part of Petra.

    Hapi saves Petra and Petra saves Hapi.
