Emmrich wasn’t lying to Rook when he said he doesn’t regret their relationship.

But he did have second thoughts about it, before the end. And those are the thoughts he regrets more than anything, because they could have cost him everything.

His whole life, all Emmrich has wanted is lasting love, something that will last into eternity. Someone to hold his hand, to sleep next to at night. A person that will sit next to him and read books, or work in a garden.

Someone who will say “I love you” in return and mean it.

Wanting is a scary thing. A terrifying thing, if he is to be honest with himself.

Because now he has found someone who wants him back, and while Rook flirts with him in return, and does so at frankly the strangest occasions, Emmrich is terrified this is just another fleeting thing.

But Rook takes his hand, takes his heart, takes all of him and turns those too large feelings into something slightly more manageable.

Parts are put into Manfred; into carefully guiding him to become more, to become someone who can take care of himself long after Emmrich is gone.

More than an assistant; now a prodigy. A son, as Rook says, and a part of Emmrich settles, a part he did not know needed settling, but there all the same.

Like the piece of a puzzle he never knew the scope of.

Then there’s Rook himself; calming and exciting in equal measures until Emmrich no longer knows which way is up.

Rook, who loves unconditionally and surprisingly, who turns Emmrich’s knees weak and holds him up with the same look in his eyes. Rook, who tells him gold is his favourite colour and in the next breath admits that Emmrich is his first in everything.

And how can a man respond to that?

By bewilderment, at first, then pure joy and pride over being chosen. And lastly, thoughts he would like to not admit to, calculating ones entailing how to best go about it, to show how good it can be with the right person. How right.

It feels selfish, Emmrich thinks, but shows an immense amount of trust.

He cannot say no to that. To hold that honour.

So he kisses Rook, shows him the merest hint of what he can look forward to, even as his own body screams at him to take it further but also to step away before he ruins something beautiful again.

He gives, in the end, helpless not to.

Emmrich knows the exact number of days that pass between Rook’s first expression of interest, to their first kiss, to their first time.

And he knows the exact number of days between that, and when Rook is taken from them. From him.

When Rook is taken, Emmrich is terrified.

His love is gone without a trace, after an argument between them that they did not resolve, and the loss of two of their dear friends.

Emmrich can see why people are driven to madness, to desperation, doing whatever it takes to get their loved one back. His books hold no aid for the first time in his life. He cannot return to the Necropolis because what if…

And so he cries and he rages and wears himself into exhaustion again and again, dreams filled with nightmares where Rook is never found and there is an empty grave next to those of his parents.

Even Manfred holds no comfort for him now, as hours turns into days, turn into weeks until finally, there is a hand in his, and he knows that hand unlike none other, and he thinks do not let go this time, clutch it as tight as you can until only eternity remains.

EDIT: now on AO3

“You never asked me why gold is my favourite colour,” Alaris muses, teasing a question from the love of his life.

“Hmm, I must have been otherwise distracted during that particular conversation. Would you care to tell me now dear?”

“Because of you. Because of the way you look decked out in it. Ever since you gave that lecture, that first time I saw you, the way your arms and hands glinted in the light. It took me a long time to figure out what it meant, that sudden attraction to something I couldn’t put into words. It was brand new, and I had no one to ask about it.”

Just took me eleven months but chapter five is here

“Where’re you headed?” he asks. “I don’t know.” Her whisper is low enough that Grog barely catches it. He wonders if she meant for him to hear it.

[….]

“Want some company?” Grog asks, and Keyleth’s taken aback. “What?” “Listen, I can’t just let you go off on your own, okay? And, like, I’ve been thinkin’ of going away too and we can just do it together, right? It’ll be safer that way. So I’ll ask again; where to?” “Anywhere but here.”

—

Keyleth needs a break from… everything. Having mutually ended things with Vax because they drifted apart, and she saw the way he looks at Shaun. Having witnessed Vex and Percy fall in love. Having seen the slow, long-building feelings between Scanlan and Pike finally manifest… She is tired. 

So when Grog catches her leaving without a plan or goal, Keyleth accepts his offer of company, and the pair of friends set out on a road trip with no goal in mind but to get away from their love-struck friends and find some peace for themselves.

There is a whole world out there, ready to be explored, and while what they need has always been right in front of them, it will take a change of scenery and some bonding through good and bad days to make them open their eyes to the possibilities –

“This isn’t real. This isn’t real, this isn’t real, this isn’t real.” Ed whispers, a litany, a prayer, to ward off the evil in front of him, the evil that reminds him of everything he’s done in his life, of the lives taken in the useless chase after Stede, of every person he’s ever hurt.

  “It is,” Stede’s mirage replies. “Let me prove it to you.”

  And oh, the memory of that evening on the beach together all those weeks ago must still be all to clear on his mind, because when the imaginary Stede’s lips meets his, Ed can’t help but dare to hope against all hope and all reason that this is real, and he can feel his last dregs of sanity melt away.
