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.

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
Your relationship with death isn’t like most. You’ve flirted with death, like others have flirted for a free drink at the bar; and you’ve sent it gifts, bouquet after bouquet of souls you’ve hand-plucked out of their bodies.. You’ve even gone home with death a few times: Once, you stayed over for a five year stint before putting on yesterday’s skin and crawling out of slumber.
(In which Byleth contemplates the meaning of death but also keeps running into Claude in the middle of the night.)

To be totally honest, Claude didn't particularly care for this strange young mercenary with dark blue hair.

Summary
In which Rose tries to be more spontaneous, and Scorpius tries to figure out who her non-existent ex-boyfriend is (because only a break-up could spur such a desire to switch up one's lifestyle).
