Summary
She would know her anywhere, be it in dreams, a passerby, a story. It’s not a ghost. Bright-eyed, sun-kissed, and life-worn, she’s different in all the ways Maomao thought she would be after all these years, in all the ways she hoped she would be despite the tragedy that seemed set in stone for her and hers.
Quietly, as though an earnest prayer, unspoken but felt all the same: Shisui.
Or: Ten years after Shisui leaves her, Maomao finds herself in a nameless village, chasing the trail of a ghost.

Summary
After consuming the Winged Lion’s desire to ‘eat’, Laios’ human body is out of balance, unable to ever feel completely satiated. He hungers. Kabru should feel disgusted when Laios tries to rip into his body to taste what must be left of his own desires. Instead, Kabru sees something he longs for and, in turn, offers Laios something he can’t get anywhere else: something carnal and undefined.

Summary
The tension in the hall is hushed, viscous, expectant. The two of them emerge from the shadows hand in hand, amidst salivating spectators greedy for a glimpse of the performers. Last apostles of a long dead creed. Living effigies of dynastic ruin. There is nothing quite like tragedy to titillate the thronging rabble.

Summary
As the grandfather clock in the foyer struck midnight, the storm knocked out the power, and the guests at Morozov Manor - a newly engaged couple, two men who had been married for almost a decade now, and two friends who were still in denial of their feelings for each other - all gathered downstairs in the library where a stranger joins them and tells them the tragedy of an artist who made a deal with a devil and the muse he fell madly in love with.

She wonders again: what would it be like to drown? If she killed herself and became someone else, would anyone notice? Shu might point and say: Alien imposter. The perfumed letters she keeps hidden within her desk might say: You are no longer the girl that I loved. Or, he might say: You've bloomed.

Summary
The wedding night goes well.
By the time they make it to the bedchambers, her mind is buzzing with a pleasant, warm drowsiness. Her body feels incorporeal, as though her flesh has evaporated into a light, misty fog. She is not treading these earthly grounds, she is dissipating into thin air, she is anywhere but here.
A hand lands upon her shoulder, stitching her back together, grounding her. She blinks blearily at its owner.
“You must not fall asleep, Hinako,” Kotoyuki says. He sounds amused. “Not now. The night has yet to end.”
or: the aftermath of the wedding.

Summary
The ruined, taut pink skin. The reminder of who she used to be. Of what they made her into. “I’m just not quite sure what I’d want to cover it with.”
“Oh, is the moogle on Sabin’s shoulder too childish for you?” Terra adjusts again, tilting her head forward enough that Celes can see her smile; radiant paired with gold-speckled eyes that make her feel dizzyingly in love. “You’ll think of something,” she says. “You usually do.”
With the help of Terra and a tattoo artist in Tzen, Celes finds peace with her infusion scar.

Summary
As a puppet moved by the will of its string, Byleth felt her hand raised by the angel’s. She reached for the mirror only to find there was nothing there. No glass, no barrier. Not even her face, but another’s. A tall and stoic man, his face partially obscured by a white mask. His golden hair hung loosely framing his face, unkempt but rather handsome. Where she reached, she found his leather gloved hand and her fingers laced with his.
“An angel,” she whispered, with all the god-fearing reverence she’d denied in her youth. Her free hand brushed the cold skin of his human cheek and, recalling Annette’s ghost stories, she spoke again: “Or a phantom?”
The night of her leading role debut, Byleth is swept away by a phantom that resides beneath the opera house.
An F!Dimileth Phantom of the Opera AU written for the FE3H Horror Exchange.

Summary
“If you don’t want to involve yourself with a married man, I hold no hard feelings.”
“No. No, that’s not it. Not what I meant at all.”
Breathless, Ino blinked in rapid beats until the contours of Asuma’s face, of the courtyard around them, stopped blurring.
“I didn’t think so,” her teacher laughed. “Forgive me for being so dumb. Must be all the sake.”

Summary
It’s something she's seen in stained glass and religious texts, in passages of honor and scriptures of heroics. A knight kneeling before his sovereign, loyalty burning in his eyes and chest swollen with pride for his superior; it’s the image of Dimitri now, an image she subconsciously burns into her mind to be reviewed for the rest of her days. He is the noble prince of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and yet he kneels before her as though he is nothing, as though he is just one of millions of men who could have sworn themselves to her, and it’s the humility of this vulnerable notion that makes Byleth forget, for a moment, the sorrow of her loss.

Summary
In the aftermath of a traumatic incident that led him to drop out of university, Jayce Talis packs up everything he knows and moves to a small mountain town in the middle of nowhere to open a flower shop, eager for a fresh start on life.
What he doesn't expect, however, is for fate to send him careening back into the orbit of a familiar face from childhood: Viktor, a remarkable up-and-coming artist who not only works at the adjacent tattoo parlor, but lives directly next door.
But Viktor has ghosts of his own. Walls he'd rather remain hidden behind for the sake of those around him. Neither of them intended for the other to get close.
But love is funny like that.
