I Want to Sleep (With No Dreams) by ronsenburg

Summary
After nearly three years of tightrope walking, Sylvain’s gotten pretty good at keeping his balance. The trick, as far as he can tell, is to keep your focus on a fixed point up ahead. Like this: Sylvain’s always known that, if they manage to make it through the rest of this war, they’ll have to eventually turn their efforts towards securing the future of Fódlan. This thing between them—whatever it is—was never meant to actually last. So long as he remembers that fact, holds it tightly against himself like a counterweight, it's pretty easy to keep moving forward; one foot in front of the other, all that wanting left somewhere beyond his direct line of sight.
or, love is a gift Sylvain can never accept gracefully.

Summary
The first time Felix slept with Sylvain wasn’t anything romantic. It wasn’t a curious high school hookup or a drunken college fling, wasn’t the inevitable culmination of their decades-long friendship, following some heartfelt confession where everything was understood and forgiven. It happened five years ago when they were already well into their twenties on the couch in Sylvain’s apartment: Felix, three months from his brother’s death, and Sylvain, on the verge of being disowned by his family after a self-destructive bender.

The One in Which a Time Loop is Fucking Exhausting. by badpancake

Summary
It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.
Steve fails. They lose.
“Steve, how many loops have you been through?”
His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.
“I lost count.”
AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

Summary
Essek's shoulders are tense in a way that's gonna ache later, his frame drawn tight against the endless blue sky above the bay. He leans on the salt-crusted railing and stares out at the armada gathered for the peace talks.
"I am still a Thelyss," he whispers in Undercommon. "They cannot take that from us." To Beau's ears, it sounds like a prayer.

Shadowhand Essek Hythenos celebrates a victory, and Beau untangles a truth.
