    Summary

    Sylvain's father always says that no one celebrates Solsticetide like Gautier. It was bad enough when Sylvain was growing up: Goddess forbid the margrave's heir fail to buy into the festivities. It's grotesque now. Two years ago the people of Faerghus were boiling mouldered barley and toasting rats over the coals for their Solstice night feasts, and that was if they were lucky. To pretend that five years of civil war haven't ravaged people and land alike, that the old hearty customs can go on just as they have for centuries, it turns Sylvain's stomach—

    Felix interrupts him. "Then come to Fraldarius."

    * * *

    Sylvain visits Fraldarius to help the new Duke preside over the winter holidays. It's a lot more complicated than he thinks.

    Summary

    Felix’s face is wet. His hands are moving above Sylvain’s chest, one spell after another flickering out like a candle in a drafty room. Felix has always been terrible at healing. Sylvain blinks up at him, dazed.
    “Fe,” he says.
    “Don’t,” Felix grits out. “Don’t.”

    Summary

    Born into times of peace, the offspring of houses Fraldarius and Gautier still see the crests of their parents and are brimming with questions about their own.

    Sylvain struggles to give them an answer he can stomach.

    [Post-war, A!Sylvain, O!Felix and their kids. Sylvain is a bit traumatized about crest culture and doesn't want to get them tested.]

    Summary

    “And you?” Sylvain asked, light in the air, heavy on his tongue. “Do I have your respect, Felix?”

    “Sometimes I think you jeopardize it for fun.”

    Sylvain’s turn to sigh. “Can’t we ever just have a regular hello, Felix dear? Hello,” he said in demonstration, “I’m terribly fucking glad to see you.”

    It takes Sylvain and Felix half the war to get on the same page.
