Chapter 5 -- cruelly i am calling this applicable to the "Touch" prompt. in which Ignatz yearns, and Sylvain is a fear-biter.

link: archiveofourown.org/works/739964...
excerpt:
“It means a lot to me,” says Ignatz, “to hear that you think this is working. I…” His hands form fists in the fabric of his pants and takes a deep breath. “Spending time with you is starting to feel like something I can count on. I…well, I…” Sylvain waits for him to come to a point, because silence doesn’t scare him, the way it once did. “I just want this,” says Ignatz. “Very much.” Wanting is something Sylvain is familiar with. Being wanted is an even more familiar feeling. He chuckles a little bit as he closes the distance to catch Ignatz in a kiss — a simple one. There’s immediately a pressure in Ignatz’s posture, a trembling that reminds Sylvain of the first time they kissed. I want you. Ignatz couldn’t be more apparent, as to what he’s asking for. If he were anyone else, frankly, a hot hour in a secluded corner would have already happened. But for every declaration of desire and every desperate kiss, there’s also some blockade between them and the bedroom. The only way Sylvain can describe the feeling is like…like Ignatz wants to push himself into going faster so badly that Sylvain feels responsible for slowing them down. And Sylvain in the bedroom is… Sylvain lets go of the plush heat of Ignatz’s lips and instead sets a kiss on his forehead. “Maybe we should…call it for today, okay?”

Chapter 4! a rather long halfway point, Ignatz taking courtship very seriously, Sylvain being extremely normal about that. funny enough i feel like this one's about wants & needs (a day 3 rarepair week prompt).

link: archiveofourown.org/works/739964...
sylvain being extremely normal example:
“Sylvain,” says Ignatz, as they walk back from the wyvern roost.. “Considering that especially these last few days, we’ve been spending so much time together, I…I’m wondering if…maybe you were okay with me saying we’re properly…um…if you’re okay with me saying that you’re my special someone.” He looks away, blushing. “R-really I think I want to know if I’m yours.” Sylvain knows this routine and its secret undercurrents. Don’t see other people — that’s really what he’s asking. Sylvain has been totally willing to promise exclusivity before, even if he didn’t mean it. “You’re the person I want to be going on dates with,” says Sylvain. “The only person, that is. So I guess, yeah?” What a lackluster declaration of affection, for him.

Chapter 3. various pieces of baggage + putting the 'masculinity crises' tag to good use

link: archiveofourown.org/works/739964...
tiny dialogue excerpt:
“So I said something wrong.” “No, no, I…no, nothing at all is your fault. It couldn’t possibly be.” “I think it’s pretty possible,” says Sylvain. “You have met me, right?” “No, I…” Ignatz shakes his head. “I think I’m just brooding about things that don’t matter, and you asked me to leave it alone.” “Okay, then I’m changing my mind,” says Sylvain. “What’s bothering you?” “It’s…this feeling I can’t shake,” says Ignatz. “That no matter how I act, each and every day, I will always be what people assume. Small and insignificant and — and pliable.” Interesting word choice.

recruitment is fun
two sentence wip exerpt -- the word 'shirt' is highlighted in yellow: “But you have your home,” says Sylvain. “And you could fight for it, and people would protect you there, and…” “Home?” Ignatz laughs, very clearly furious. He rubs beneath his eyes, then grabs at his shirt from where it’s laying on the counter. He twists his hands in the fabric for a few seconds. “Leicester isn’t my home. Not anymore.”

Chapter 2! first date time!

thank you guys for support on the first chapter ❤️ I kind of forgot what it's like to post something and have people respond to it right away 🥺

link: archiveofourown.org/works/739964...
and an excerpt that exemplifies the whole:
“It’s…I know I’m a person who likes to please others,” says Ignatz, looking away. “And you’re asking me questions, so I want to answer, but also I — want to know more about you, too. I’m trying to find a balance here, but I think maybe I’m being a little over-pushy now, aren’t I?” There’s a bolt of cruelty in Sylvain that wants to say yes, Ignatz is being pushy. Usually he’d snuff that voice out and sweet-talk his way out of an awkward moment like this. He’s already got a sugar-sweet sentence on the tip of his tongue. He wrangles that impulse, too. Somehow he gets the sense that trying to appease Ignatz will make everything worse. “What do you want to know about me?” says Sylvain softly. Ignatz bursts out: “Everything.” Sylvain squirms in his seat. How can Ignatz hand that much leverage over to someone else? He lets out a stiff laugh. “Everything, huh?” Sylvain’s heart throbs on his tongue. “Well, hey, I’m an open book. Ask what you want to know.” “Hmm,” says Ignatz. “What’s your favorite color?” Sylvain blinks at him. People have favorite colors? “Uh…I don’t think I have one?”

small pink like the accents on byleth's clothes my beloved...you mentioned wanting some solid colors on lower numbers so if theres a spot you really want her in, thats my ideal number. Like a 6 or something. Otherwise, 36 or 72?

Fe3h screenshot in which ignatz is about to crit, so there's a light slicing the screenshot nearly in half like it's a match-up screen. On the left: dancer ignatz holding a levin sword, looking beautiful as always. On the right: an enemy knight already cowering

“It will,” said Claude, as if Leonie wasn’t being sarcastic. “She’s dramatic, but she’ll get the job done. You know that as well as I do.” He was completely right. Whenever she thought of Hilda these days, she thought of two people. There was the stylish, sugar-candy girl who spent an hour every day brushing out her hair and testing makeups, who followed Leonie around asking to play with her growing-out hair and wanting to test perfumes on Leonie’s wrist and throat until she found the perfect one. The scent she’d settled upon rested near-unused among Leonie’s possessions. Then there was the girl who had delivered the final blow to the Immaculate One, now months ago, but ever-so-crisp in all of their minds courtesy of the stories and lore that traveled around. Leonie had seen it, and still she remembered the details more like they were in the soldier stories: a blur of pink and black, a warrior climbing up the muzzle of the great beast and bringing her axe squarely down between the eyes. The silver-crimson ichor drenching over her tight black uniform, staining her face, her neck, the tops of her breasts. Leonie swallowed.

ominous paragraph about glenn 👍
scrivener screenshot: "Glenn was a beam of silver moonlight on the daffodil fields that covered Fraldarius in the springtime; he was blue-teal grasses and the taste of honeyed wine. A blisteringly beautiful thing — a temporary thing. Like Felix he had long, silky black hair, though his eyes matched his father’s, sterling blue. He loved crafts, like his mother, and he would go with her to marketplaces as a perfect little lord. He had no Crest, but he had the advantages of choice. He picked the boldest horses, the sharpest swords, the most industrious squires, and he made those his own advantages. Glenn won cavalry competitions and sword fights, he was never late, and on top of it all, he accepted his responsibilities with a magnanimous smile. Of course he would befriend and protect the prince — what an honor. Why wouldn’t he marry Ingrid and save House Galatea from collapse, and of course, it was sweet that Ingrid had a crush on him, and of course he would return that crush, it was only natural. Certainly, he would help Felix train; his little crybaby brother, his Major Crested brother, would never be left alone under Glenn’s supervision. Glenn: romantic lead for Ingrid, outstanding brother for Felix, loyal knight for Dimitri, golden boy for his parents, and for Sylvain? For Sylvain, wasn’t he just perfect, too?"
