    Summary

    It is rumored that Lord Sylvain Gautier has taken up residence in the Fraldarius Manor. My sources tell me his persistence is to be put to the test as he has been tasked with assisting Duke Fraldarius in his unsuccessful forays in courtship. A rather infamous slacker and philanderer who has broken the hearts of nobles and commoners alike, Lord Gautier is certainly an interesting choice of companion for His Grace. Will one of Fodlan’s most eligible bachelors be able to soften the duke’s heart and open it up to love?

    Summary

    He hasn’t looked at Sylvain’s eyes since he’d gotten here, not really, or at least not like this. It’s funny; for how long he’s seen them, Felix probably couldn’t have recalled the color if someone had asked. Such an oddly light brown shade, nearly like his cello. It was everywhere in his life. Maybe that’s why it had escaped him.

    It’s nearly frustrating, to think he could have forgotten something so important, and yet that thought makes him more frustrated still. Wasn’t that the goal, to forget all about Sylvain Gautier?


    After barely finishing his undergrad studying cello performance, Felix is stuck in every aspect of his life: his career is going nowhere, he can't stand talking to his family, and he has maybe two friends. Crashing at Ingrid's apartment was all he had, until she suddenly decided to let world-traveling, friend-abandoning, breakout New York Times author of the year Sylvain Gautier crash with them, too. To make matters worse, she panicked and lied to her father by saying Sylvain and Felix were dating. Now, Felix can't run away from his art, family, Sylvain, or himself.

    Summary

    Love was a foreign concept to Sylvain - it didn't matter if it was being given, or being received, he didn't recognize it. So it's laughable, really, that this would be his downfall. Sylvain hadn't even thought that he could love. But apparently he could.

    And it was going to kill him.

    Summary

    “Wait.” Felix’s world starts to shift on its axis. “What does this have to do with me?”

    There is a terrible pause. As each quiet second ticks on, the answer to that question grows devastatingly obvious—a shitty punchline to the world’s stupidest joke.

    “Felix,” Mercedes starts carefully, very carefully, “you’re the one he’s in love with.”

    -

    Sylvain gets doused with a love potion. Felix handles it REALLY well.

    Summary

    For some reason, Felix’s gaze is catching on the white breaths puffing out of Sylvain’s mouth. An old governess used to tell him tales of the North, how anyone who went into the mountains was destined to freeze to death on the icy slopes, and how the Sreng were only able to survive thanks to a pact they’d made with some foreign God. Glenn had helpfully pointed out that that story was probably made up. “And not freezing to death,” he appends to Sylvain’s list, reaching out and giving the leather straps on the bundled coat one last tug, because he can.

    “And not freezing,” Sylvain agrees with a slow smile, after he finally swings up onto his horse. “But don’t worry about me, I’m a Gautier.”

    Sylvain comes back from Sreng with treaty in hand and a fever that won't go away.
