    Summary

    “There’s nothing wrong with your workshop,” Edelgard said with as much patience as she allowed Lysithea after a long day. It was perhaps more patience than she realistically had, but she would stay her tongue. Or at least she tried. “You are not haunted.”

    Lysithea stomped from the bathroom, wet hair flopping from the bottom of a towel. “I did not say I was haunted. I did not even mention anything of the sort.”

    Summary

    Edelgard does not believe in fate, but there are ties here she feels she doesn’t understand. Rhea is Seiros, saint of the church that made the world, and Edelgard is her dedicated iconoclast. Through this, they are bound in conflict. One raises her hand. The other tears it down. Yet here they are, sitting in the garden, Rhea’s hands scraping the fallen frost off of her garden. Here they are, Rhea’s voice carrying a soft tune, Edelgard listening.

    The saint looks up. The heretic looks back.

    Summary

    "If you met her you would understand. There's no way. She's too obnoxious. It feels like she's always lying even when she's saying easily verifiable facts that I know are true. Rhea could text me “good morning” and I would have to look out the window to check if the sun was out."

    or, store manager Edelgard deals with a problem customer and accidentally catches the attention of the most annoying double-texter on the planet.

    Summary

    Lysithea spends the winter after the war back at home in Ordelia. Edelgard remains in Enbarr, working towards their shared goals at a distance. But it turns out that writing letters allows both of them to speak a little more freely than they ever dared to before.

    Summary

    Everything she considers herself to have accomplished in this life has been born of secrecy, lies, and manipulation. She knows exactly how to play a person like an instrument and how to avoid having her own strings snapped in retaliation.

    What is it about Lysithea that makes Edelgard’s fortress crack? Edelgard has long accepted the fact that she will leave a legacy of betrayal behind her, but the idea of losing Lysithea’s esteem makes her falter.

    Summary

    “This is old magic,” said Lysithea. “Archaic. It’s like the kind of thing you read in school about our barbaric forebears doing before Seiros showed everyone how to heal. There’s no reason in it. I’m amazed they could even work it, it’s nothing like their city.”

    Edelgard nodded. She recalled Hubert’s final report on Shambhala—the City Without Light, where the streets glowed blue; an impossible civilization, centuries more advanced than anything on the surface. Now returned to dust.

    “The only thing to do,” Lysithea said, matter-of-factly, “is cut it out of you.”

    To save Edelgard's life, Lysithea will learn all her secrets—even the ones Edelgard doesn't know she's keeping.

    Summary

    Maybe she was just answering an ancient call, one that every Addams had answered before her. Maybe it all hurt so much because her dislocated heart had to be fixed the old fashioned way, the way Grandmama would have fixed it, with a firm grip and a harsh wrench and twist. Maybe she just overthought everything when it came to Enid. She was categorically not thinking now.

    On a quiet winter-break day, Diana narrowly saves Avery's life, and has to hold on while Akko rushes for help. And hold on. And hold on. For someone like Diana, though, that isn't the hard part - after all, she'll eventually have to let go.

    Written for Ladystuck 2011, for urbanAnchorite, who wanted Rose and Terezi being Seers and hatefriends, and possibly making out. So here they are being Seers and hatefriends. Do they make out??? If you were a Seer, you would probably know the answer to that already. Or, you know, you could just read the fic, but that's much less exciting.

    Summary

    Crumbling under the weight of curses, Via Purifico is a town in desperate need of a Hunter. Tendou Maya, next and most prestigious in her line, has made it her mission to save it; to make her sword the scalpel through which the taint will be removed. Hers is a swift, merciless deliverance - and it has no room for the leanings of her heart. The further she chases the most dangerous beasts, however, the less she likes the conclusions she comes to.
    ----
    As the Governess' daughter, Claudine Saijou is heir to all the city encompasses- even its curses. She keeps the city as safe as she's able, but there is no recourse from the curse that permeates her very blood. When Maya arrives, she's honor-bound to help her-

    Even as the Hunter closes in on her scent.

    Summary

    "'To be honest, I think I ought to be asking you that question.'

    Because therein lies the issue. How could she? How could Lysithea stand to sit here, to take tea with the source of every waking horror, every nightmare inflicted upon her? To work with – work for – someone under the thumb of the monsters responsible, who might as well be one of them?

    To wake up every morning and stare at the broken phantom of what her aggregated suffering produced?

    If she were Lysithea, she’d have taken the dying shot at her in Derdriu."

    ***

    The Agarthans leave a trail of corpses in their wake, leave the shells of the living behind to pick up the pieces of their broken world, and like a twin-headed carrion bird, they needle at both.

    Edelgard/Lysithea, enemies to friends to something more. From the experiments, to separate sides of the war, to the same side of what becomes a different one altogether.

    A story about grief, acceptance, and about learning to make peace with the living, as you bury the dead.

    Summary

    Edelgard learned young how eager the world was to take things away, to pry them out of her small hands and leave her alone in the dark. She didn’t have claws then, but she would grow them if she had to.

    Her first kiss went like this.

    Edelgard and eight kisses.

    Summary

    “It will help to focus on the reason you’re doing this as you enter the portal.” Naga told Lucina after she was done explaining the ritual to send her back in time.
    “Of course.” Lucina nodded. “Stopping Grima.”
    Naga shook her head, and Lucina snapped her mouth shut in confusion. When the manakete looked at her again, her stare was piercing, making Lucina feel like her very soul was being laid bare before this woman.
    “That is the end goal, yes.” Naga stated. “But why you? Why are you going back to stop Grima?”
    “Who else is going to do something?” Lucina answered immediately. “It has to be me.”
    “So you feel obligated to do this?”
    “No, I want to do this.”

    Lucina goes back in time to save her future. Things don’t go exactly as planned.
