preview image for a fanfic for honey & spice, a claudevain fanzine:

“It was the first time he’d seen the man since he’d been put up at the Riegan estate following a minor—okay, he concedes to Mercedes’ gentle scolding in his head, maybe more than minor—injury. It wasn’t the first time Sylvain had almost died for somebody else, but it was the first time that somebody looked hardly bothered by the fact.”

Sylvain: Gay sex will not fix this situation. Honestly, it would probably make it worse. That being said I think we should give it a shot anyway.

dgdhhd last for now….some snippets. needs a lot of reworking bc it’s mostly vibes rn. aaaa it has a title and playlist that i feel is perfect already so i just need to like….write it….it’s on the list of stuff i want to finish this year

You don’t like being put in other people’s shoes too, but what choice is left when you are also so very desperate to be simply understood and who are we but mindless puppets at the mercy of some pretentious invisible force pulling our strings as if they know us better than we do ourselves? Ridiculous! Let’s cut away these bindings and make our own paths, why don’t we, Mother?

“Stop being so gods-damned dramatic,” Tiana von Riegan scoffs, a tense, hard line cutting into the blue skies behind her. “And if you want the truth you have to give yours up, too. Have you not learned this yet, boy?”

You sigh and drop your arms from where they were raised in mock supplication to the sky.

“I want to go there,” you say in the language of your mother’s homeland, wanting to show her you’re serious and you’ve done your research. This isn’t a joke to you.

“Why?” Tiana sighs raggedly, scrubbing a hand over her face. The lines of her face are on full display now. “Do you not wonder why I’m here in the first place?”

“Oh, I thought it was because you found true love. Are you confirming the rumors and saying that the people of Fódlan are all horrible?”

“Are you honestly suggesting to me that you want to run off over there in search of a lover?” Tiana asks incredulously.

You wince. Okay. Bad card to play, but it was worth a shot.

“I want to know,” you give it up. “You can’t expect me to keep swallowing all these lies about me and you for the rest of my life and not want to know for myself.”

Tiana is silent for a moment as she considers this. You stare into eyes that are a shade of brown so dark that they almost look black. Your eyes are green, like your father and half-siblings, but you aren’t one to rely on appearances.

“You can’t be Khalid, if you go,” Tiana says. “You might as well just arrive waving the Almyran flag over your head if you do.”

“I’ll pick a different name, then. I’ve thought about that too.”

“That’s not as easy as you think it is.”

There is something sinister at play here, something sealing Rhea’s lips shut and loosening Dimitri’s to the point of derangement. You wonder if you should just give them the slip and run home before you lose your life for something stupid. This is the part where you retreat.

But Marianne comes up to you and asks if you know when the students are allowed to go home, her fingers twisting into the fabric of her skirt nervously. Hilda’s voice lilts with a false sense of cheer as she says, “Don’t worry, Marianne! Claude has it handled for sure,” glancing at you with poorly concealed desperation. You spot Lorenz fidget in his seat and nod in agreement, quiet for once.

They’re all looking at you helplessly, your Golden Deer. You have never seen so many trusting faces turned in your direction before, and how ironic is it that you actually have no idea what you’re doing right now?

“The higher ups have my lips sealed,” you say with a rueful smile, “But Hilda’s right. Don’t worry. I’m working on it.”

“Yeah, come on guys, we can count on Claude,” Raphael assures everyone in his Big Brother Voice, backing you up. He actually sounds confident about it, which sells the idea, but the thing about Raphael is that he’s just genuine and has probably never tried to sell an idea like that in his life. So you don’t know what to feel about that. “Let’s just focus on what we can do.”

“You all heard the big guy, now get to it,” you nod, throwing a wink at Marianne for good measure. She manages a small smile, relief in her eyes.

-

When you get to your room you don’t drop on the bed facedown like you thought about the whole way there. You stand in the middle of the room for a solid minute, then you walk over to the wall and press your forehead to it with a thunk.

“Heavy is the head that wears the crown, you sucker,” you hiss quietly to the cold concrete, without any real heat. You have made your choice, and now you must shuffle through the cards in your hand and make do.

“Oh,” Sylvain says, and when you look at him his face is turned skywards. You follow his gaze.

“Ah, the moon’s out.” You hold up a hand to block the shade from your eyes, observing the faint view. “That’s rare.”

“Yeah,” Sylvain says. He hums, and you return your attention to him. He seems to notice your eyes on him, and he blinks. “It’s kinda like you, y’know?”

“Huh?”

“Subtle.” Sylvain says. You tilt your head.

“Well, that’s the first time I’ve gotten that,” you remark, a faint smile finding its way onto your face. “Usually I stick out in a crowd.“

“I mean, the moon’s not always subtle,” Sylvain says. “The sun, when it’s out, it’s out, you know? It’ll take like, a cloud or something else to block it. Eclipses are a big deal. The moon has phases, sometimes it’s there, sometimes it’s not. Even during the day, it’s there, supposedly.”

He gestures loosely towards the sky.

“Sometimes it’ll show itself,” he finishes, “and you’d be lucky to look up and notice.”

You blink, then you glance upwards to take in the sight of the daytime moon again. Huh. That—you don’t know what to make of that. You’ve heard a lot of things about yourself, but this. . .well, this is a first.

“Really poetic of you.” You push out a soft laugh, trying to make sense of your thoughts. “Is there something you’re not telling me?”

“Oh, please,” Sylvain laughs along with you. “I am not subtle. I don’t beat around the bush when I flirt—you’d know.”

No kidding, you don’t say.

His smile doesn’t reach his eyes, but you don’t call him out on it. It’s a kindness, but not really; it’s a gesture you hope will be returned to you, because there’s something squirming in the depths of your abdomen, something like fear, and you think you’d better kill it before it gets out of hand.

The two of you used to read together sometimes before bed, you and your mother. She doesn’t read you stories, but sometimes you did, aloud, while she listened and answered your occasional questions, though she would get annoyed when you asked obvious ones, just for the sake of asking them. You did dramatic voices better than she did, and often you would fall asleep to the sound of her restrained laughter as she would gather the books to set on a haphazard pile next to your bed.

(The most important thing your parents taught you was how to do things for yourself. The thing they overlooked was how the questions you asked them began to dwindle, and eventually how little you talked to them of anything important at all. You all spent a lot of time together, of course, and you love them like you know they do you. But you stopped giving them the full picture at some point, preferring to act on your own. You stopped giving anyone the full picture.)

But here’s one thing that always stuck with you:

“That’s infatuation, boy,” she answered, after you’d asked whether your parents were like the tragic couple in the fairytale you’d just read. It was a rare one from Fódlan. “It’s different.”

“How?”

She’d paused, hand on top of the teetering pile of books next to the bed, brow furrowed.

“It starts like that, sometimes,” she said. “Like something you can’t help. But it’s not real love until someone makes a choice, either just one or both. Real love, it’s powerful. You’ll do things you never thought you would. Not because you can’t help it. But because you will.”

You think about that a lot.

“And score!” Lance slammed a hand down on the surface of the arcade machine, other hand thrusting up the laser gun in the air. The signs flashing in front of their faces in garish colors were completely foreign, but Lance didn’t need a translator to understand the sight of victory. “What’s that? Sorry, can’t hear any mullets from the winner’s platform!”

“This isn’t a fair match, I’m better at hand to hand!” Keith threw his hands up, his own plastic gun nearly clocking Lance in the face as he gesticulated, “If this was a fistfight I’d—“

“Still be on your ass in defeat.“ Lance interrupted, crossing his arms. “And you know it.”

“Really—“

“Ahem!” Coran cleared his throat, not too far away. Lance and Keith looked at each other and rolled their eyes.

“Fine, I’ll lower the bar, just for you,” Lance turned up his nose, sticking his thumb out and pointing it behind him. “Let’s do that one.”

The font written over the machine, like all the others, was alien, but the platform with the little light-up arrow squares and guard rail was recognizable anywhere in the universe, even if it did look a bit different. Keith started to look and recoiled.

“That’s—“

“Take it or leave it! I’m leaving this place a winner either way.”

“Oh really?” Keith snorted. “Okay. Fine.”

They marched toward the arcade machine.

(They would find out later on that alien Dance Dance Revolution was co-op rather than competitive.)

Neither of them broke rhythm, not even after that half-joke of a heartfelt confession, swaying close together to the music—but Claude leaned in and hooked his chin over Sylvain’s shoulder, face turned slightly into his neck before Sylvain could see anything beyond the slightest twitch to his mouth.

“Dracula’s looking over,” Claude said, referring to their target. There was something testy in his voice, something almost fragile as Sylvain’s hand brushed against the small of his back. “So keep up the act, Casanova.”
