    Summary

    That’s what they say, isn’t it? All boys, plucked from the box and arrayed upon the game board as boys, will only ever be boys – even those who don’t quite 'boy' correctly – and so it is, and always shall be, such is the Goddess’ mandate for the natural world, et cetera, et cetera, praise Sothis.

    Since childhood, one young man has been plagued with unseemly doubts about his place on the proverbial board; traitorous thoughts like hardy seeds buried deep in the unwelcoming Faerghan soil, waiting for a rare season to blossom at last. The self-destructive, self-loathing playboy, Sylvain Gautier, has no place in the brave new world Edelgard has envisioned... But Sylvia just might.

    Summary

    By any reasonable metric, the Agarthan assassin Kronya – Crypteia-caste, Batch LXVI, extracted ‘31 by the meanest breeders in the Knossos Unit – should be having the time of her life right now.

    The Garreg Mach infiltration went off without a hitch, this ‘Monica’ identity’s a cakewalk, and she gets to bully Thales’ little puppet princess all she likes these next few moons, ‘til the brat finally kicks off the topside war against the Nabateans. She’s at the top of her game, running circles around these surface-dwelling beasts, things're going great!

    ...so then, why can’t Kronya shed this gnawing feeling that something's about to go utterly, catastrophically wrong?


    You know why. And it's almost time.

    Summary

    Sylvain smiles, sheepish; shrugs. It's an act, of course: that mop of tousled white hair on his head, the easy grin. Edelgard can identify the wolf in sheep's clothing.

    Summary

    Sylvain, born without a Crest but bearing one nonetheless, is close with Lysithea von Ordelia after coming to the Academy. It's easier to be friends with her than the trio of Faerghus nobles he knew as a young child, especially Felix.


    Based on @vwyn19's absolutely devastating Crest Experiment Sylvain AU comic and inspired by He Will by TK_DuVeraun

    Summary

    Once or twice, Felix thought he’d seen a spark of recognition behind Sylvain’s artless facade, found flickering faith in a sidelong glance or the lean of lips teetering against inner turmoil, but nothing had ever come of it, and he’d had to let his dreams and memories fall to ash, again and again, until nothing remained but the cold truth that Sylvain didn’t know him.

    He couldn’t remember any of them, but least of all Felix.

    ~~

    Inspired by @vwyn19's Crest Experiments Sylvain, and akhikosanada's ficlet.
