Fic Rec Friday: where the light dwells (fe3h)

“Hey, Teach. Can I ask you a question?”

Claude is studying her, his chin resting in his hand. She taps her foot against his in answer, one-two, yes . It makes him smile. Voice quiet, as not to disturb their neighbor again, he asks, “I’ve been wondering. Why’d you choose Golden Deer, all those months ago?”

She thinks about loyalty and strength and cleverness, and a trust that goes both ways. She thinks about sparring like dancing and dancing like sparring, about a warm place to rest in the midst of the worst kind of rainstorm.

She thinks about the day they met, outside Remire Village. Edelgard and Dimitri, serious and earnest, and Claude, arms open, smiling. Let’s get to know each other.

It’s too much to say. Sometimes it’s too much to feel. Sothis and her damned emotions—one last gift, after she disappeared into that swirling golden light.

Rain pounds against the roof, and takes with it the faint murmur of a girl’s snicker.

“You made me laugh,” Byleth says.

Claude blinks. His smile is crooked, rueful, as he shakes his head. “I haven’t seen that miracle yet, but I’ll believe you this time.”

Can I just gush about this fic for a moment?

There are so many wonderful moments here, too many to count and list. This follows the main storyline of the Golden Deer route, expanding on the details we get and filling in the gaps. The characterisation is beautiful and perfect, the story itself gentle and emotional. It is my favourite fic in this burgeoning fandom.

If you’re like me and you’ve poured many, many hours into fe3h and are looking for a story that builds upon that world (with perfect characterisation, might I add) you should read this. And recommend it to all your friends. ❤

Took the dude out to camp for a visit today... what an absolute star!! So well behaved, only barked once and that's because I wouldn't let him explore once it started getting dark, didn't chase any kids... love love love him 🐶😍 #rottweiler #suchastar #whosagoodboy #tiredbaby #nothingbutlove #dogsofinstgram #dogsruletheworld

Such a nice day out with Maddy.... such a little ⭐️ Came up with some corkers as usual, including that "it's good to make memories" to which I said yes.... far more important & memorable than material things, to which she agreed & said "they are more precious than gold!" 😍 Love her. #dayout in #Ipswich with #niece #suchastar #faithinhummanityrestored #cameoutwithsomecorkers #memories #morepreciousthangold (at Ipswich Town Centre)
