    Summary

    Sylvain had never considered his future too much. 
    He’d be married off to some wealthy noble or merchant woman, inherit his father’s title, and wield the Lance of Ruin to kill the poor bastards at the Sreng border. The most he had to hope for was to die early in some terrible fight, lest he end up turning into his father--a bitter man obsessed with Crests and keeping appearances.

    Joining the Black Eagles might have been the only unwritten portion of his future he decided for himself. His small, useless rebellion. But Edelgard had other, bigger plans for him.

    Summary

    “I told you,” Dedue says, “five years ago, that you fit in here. That you weren’t pretending. Did you think I was lying? You don’t have to presume anything, Ashe. You are still…” He trails off. What is Ashe to him that Dedue can say out loud, into the stillness of the night as Ashe gazes up at him with luminous eyes? How can he say you are everything without handing his heart over completely?

    Summary

    Regulus Black comes out of the black lake quite mad, very much his mother’s son.

    Hogwarts will keep him safe, says Dumbledore, who offers him the post of Charms professor.

    But Regulus hasn't stopped drowning (lungs saturated with water, mind torn apart) and the face of Harry Potter, who looks too much like James, makes him realize the war is never over.
