Summary
“Your strategy is so textbook,” Ping says, tapping a thoughtful finger to his lips - unprompted, since Shang hasn’t yet recovered from this stinging xiangqi loss to be clear-minded and receptive enough to ask for where he’d gone wrong this time. “It makes you predictable.”
(An exploration of Shang’s inner turmoil as he discovers non-platonic love, beginning with childhood and ending with “dinner would be great.”)

Summary
“No,” she says - and he stops mid-sentence.
He stares. “Pardon?” he says lightly, even though he’s reeling from the fact that some hired hand just interrupted him, as if she knows better than someone who has had years of battle and tactical training fit for a literal prince of a warring kingdom.
(AU where Byleth never came to Garreg Mach, TWSITD resurrect Nemesis and the Ten Elites, and nobles must meet the men that afforded them their privilege and power. A story featuring riots, reunions, and romance, plus an inconsequential toad because apparently why not.)

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
Byleth knows how to track the stars across the sky like she knows how to track quarry through the forest floor. She knows how to read their positions like she knows how to read sign posts at an intersection.
What she can’t do, however, is fit stories and shapes into those twinkling specks in the sky, ascribing their formation to the workings of gods and goddesses. She doesn’t understand why people describe them with flowery words like dancing and enigmatic.
(Byleth judges people who romanticize stars, but turns out Claude is one of those people. A fluffy ode to #ClaudelethWeek2020, Day 1 Prompt: Stars/Comfort)

Summary
There is a blade in his shoulder.
How… unladylike of her, to return a gift like this. But Dimitri supposes, it wasn't very gentlemanly of him to have gifted her a dagger in the first place.
(In which Dimitri is plagued by the past even as he moves forward.)

Summary
“Don’t think of it as marriage,” Benny tells her. “Think of it as castling.”
Beth raises an eyebrow. “Am I the king or the rook in this analogy?”

Summary
"Who are you? Are you a spy for Edelgard?"
"It's me, Byleth," she says, almost desperately.
Claude’s next words cut through her like a knife, so earnest and true that she doesn’t doubt them for a second.
“I don’t know a Byleth.”
--
Or: Byleth comes back from her slumber to find out Claude has not only been ill with Hanahaki, but that he was forced to undergo surgery. There are consequences.
