    Summary

    "Well, to put it quite simply," Sigewinne says, spinning around in her chair to look at Neuvillette. "Since you're a dragon, your body doesn't follow the traditional way of presenting. Now that you have your full authority back it's giving you a clear ultimatum."

    Neuvillette tilts his head, encouraging her to go on.

    "You need to decide whether you want to breed or be bred."

    Summary

    "By all means, aside from a few particularities such as pointy ears, or slitted eyes, or even the long flexible horns adorning his head, Neuvillette's physical constitution remains decidedly human.

    Every once in a blue moon, however, Neuvillette would be reminded of the truth of his nature. His body would revert to a grotesque appearance, a polar opposite to what one would expect to see from a mythical Dragon Sovereign."

    After everything has been said and done regarding Fontaine's Prophecy, Neuvillette is facing an issue he has yet to fully understand, which is his body attempting to revert to a dragonic appearance, not only to no avail, with a rather embarrassing looks at the result.

    However, if many times before he has been able to conceal himself, he didn't take into account the unexpected boldness of a certain Duke of Méropide, and finds himself in a rather intricate situation.

    Summary

    “It escaped my attention that I would be asked to partake in the first dance this evening. As such, I have failed both to procure a dance partner and to learn any sort of waltz,” Neuvillette explained, cheeks flushed.

    “Well, sunshine,” Wriothesley drawled, grinning as the pink on Neuvillette’s cheeks intensified. “If that’s what’s causing you such stress, we can fix that right now.”

    Or, Neuvillette is sure he’s about to humiliate himself at Lady Navia’s charity ball. Wriothesley steps in to provide a dance lesson – and maybe something else, too.

    Summary

    Neuvillette winced at the sound of Wriothesley and Sedene’s fierce arguing in the hallway. He loathed the distance he had put between himself and the Duke, but knew it was necessary. His strict instructions to keep Wriothesley out of his office were for the warden’s own good, no matter how much it hurt the Chief Justice to stay away.

    “Fine! But I expect an explanation. If I don’t get one, then I’ll just keep coming back!” The Duke’s parting shot seemed to strike the Iudex’s heart.

    “Please don’t,” he whispered once the doors of the Palais Mermonia slammed shut.

    Please do, his traitorous heart echoed.

    Or, Neuvillette saves Wriothesley from the brink of death by claiming him as his mate. Certain that Wriothesley will hate him for it, he seals himself away in the Palais Mermonia and promises to let the Duke live as normal a life as possible without getting in the way of his happiness.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, did you say eleven years old?” Ratthi asked, because humans can’t play back bits of conversations that they didn’t hear and are always asking each other to repeat things, much to the annoyance of any contracted SecUnits being forced to listen in and record everything they say to be sold for advertising data.
    “Yes,” Gurathin confirmed, and then everyone was staring at me and looking all shocked and sad and whatever.
    “Constructs don’t age the same way humans do,” I reminded them, before anyone could start thinking anything stupid like oh no, Murderbot is just a little kid and little kids shouldn’t be doing security and eleven year olds shouldn’t have guns in their arms. "Eleven is old for a SecUnit. Most of my inorganics are already past warranty.”
    Except, because I’m an idiot, that didn’t make it better. It actually made it worse, because now even Dr. Mensah was making a concerned face at me.

    Summary

    “Leon – Leon, shoot the eye! Shoot the eye!”

    “You shoot the eye!”

    “You trust me that much?!”

    “I can duck!”

    “Bullets?!”

    Frantic and too anxious to use the handgun, you throw a flash grenade. It doesn’t do anything. Despite being chased by a mutated and inhuman monster, Leon still has time to throw you an incredulous look.

    In your stupidity, you forgot to pull the pin.

    (Alternatively: It is September 1998. You are nineteen years old and living in Racoon City. Or, you were, until about five days ago. Now you're just surviving, and badly at that. But hey, at least you've got Leon Kennedy by your side, right?)

    (Alternatively alternatively: Your life sucks. The end.)

    Summary

    Deep in the Fortress of Meropide, beneath the watchful eyes of both Celestia and the Sovereign, something stirs to life once more.

    Following the events of the flood, Wriothesley discovers new depths of the Fortress, unseen since it’s inception. As if that wasn’t enough to deal with already, Neuvillette has been distant since Furina’s trial, the heavens raining down enough to threaten another flood.

    So he investigates both things, at the same time of course. Wriothesley is nothing if not resourceful after all.

    Summary

    The bouquet is… modest. Which is to say: clumsy. A little wild, like it was plucked by someone who didn’t know what would match but wanted it all to mean something anyway. A riot of silvers and whites and blue-touched greens, the colors of the sea when it’s thinking of the sky. Some of the stems are uneven. The string binding them is just that—string, frayed and rough. There’s no ribbon. No note.

    But the moment Neuvillette touches them, his throat tightens like the air is suddenly full of brine.

    He doesn’t take them at first. He just stares. Then he looks up, as if expecting an explanation, as if he’s waiting for the punchline. But Wriothesley doesn’t give him one. He doesn’t give him anything but that half-shrug of a smile that Neuvillette is starting to learn means more than it lets on.

    “For your office,” Wriothesley adds, like he’s offering a paperweight. Like it’s nothing. Like he didn’t just reach inside Neuvillette’s chest and place something warm and fragile on the altar of his ribs.

    Or, Wriothesley keeps showing up with flowers and Neuvillette keeps keeping them.

    Summary

    Wriothesley was the opposite of everything attractive in an omega. He was tall, muscular, and scarred all over. His demeanor was intimidating, and he didn’t even have much of a scent thanks to his mangled gland done by his own hand. Overall, no alpha would ever want him which suited him fine because he'd never look for one anyway.

    Meanwhile, Neuvillette’s progress in courtship had stalled, and it’d probably stall for the rest of Wriothesley’s life if he didn’t find a way to break through his greatest obstacle in courting him: Wriothesley himself.

    Summary

    * Work contains spoilers for ACT IV of the FONTAINE ARCHON QUEST

    “You got hurt.”

    Wriothesley nods. “I did.”

    “You got hurt.”

    “I still don’t get it.” I still don’t get you.

    For a moment, Neuvillette thinks, it is you who doesn’t understand.

    Or: Wriothesley gets himself injured, and Neuvillette finds out about his near brush of death with the Primordial Sea. To the surprise of absolutely nobody, he isn’t the happiest—much of the opposite, in fact, and Wriothesley just doesn’t get why he’s so pressed about it.

    “So, you’re a rainer, huh?”

    Neuvillette shakes his head a little before he nods. “Yes,”

    A hum, “A high-level one at that,”

    “You’re correct, yes,” he nods again. Wriothesley himself hums another understanding sound before he leans closer, his eyes wander over his features thoughtfully.

    “And I’m your soulmate.”

    Neuvillette unconsciously draws back, eyes wide, his breath lodged in his throat. 

    or; Neuvillette and Wriothesley meets under the blanket of light rain.

    Summary

    Still, it’s amusing to hear someone comment on what an easy life he seems to have. Or how he can always look so calm for someone who is literally the head of the whole daycare’s operations. Or just how “impulsive” and “easygoing” his personality is.

    (Because if they mean by “impulsive” is immediately thinking of every possible way to get out of certain situations, then yeah, sure. “Easygoing”, though? Okay, maybe that too. Only because he already kind of predicts and allows it to happen. Of course.)

    They don’t know, and well, Wriothesley intends to keep it that way. The less people know what’s going on inside his head, the better. What’s the point of a plan if they know what your plan is, anyway?

    He’s prepared. Years in the field practically shaped him to be exactly that. He’s pretty sure nothing will faze him anymore. Surely fate has reached its creativity limit too, yes?

    Well.

    Enter Sigewinne. 

    or; as Wriothesley humbly puts it, the things he has to do as a daycare teacher. Which somehow includes having a petty rivalry with another thirty-year-old. The story of his life, really.

    Summary

    It is easy to imagine, the two of them passing out presents to the children at the fete. Wriothesley handing him a box, Neuvillette’s fingers brushing against his as he accepts the box. Their eyes meeting across the top of the present. A charged, knowing moment passing between them. And then, later, Wriothesley might pull Neuvillette aside, might confess to him that his heart is too full in the way the Neuvillette’s is, and Neuvillette might, at last, have someone to love and be loved by on the Solstice.

    How wonderful that might be.

    What a shame it must remain a fantasy.

    Neuvillette finds himself trapped in a time loop on the eve of the midwinter solstice.

    Summary

    In this world, the first words your soulmate speaks to you are tattooed on your skin from birth.

    Wriothesley hears his on the day he stands - a ragged, scrawny teenager, his hands still feeling the sticky warmth of another’s blood - in the middle of a world he’d only ever seen in newspapers. And looking down on him was a divinity... dressed in elegant robes, with hair the color of moonlight on water.

    In that moment, Wriothesley swore an oath to himself that he would not utter a single word in reply. After all, what right did he have to taint this divinity with his own filth?

    Summary

    [AU] The rise of humanity didn't cost the Hydro Dragon a mere fraction of his powers—it has taken nearly everything.

    Now Neuvillette has languished for ages, alone and imprisoned deep within the Fortress of Meropide. Having been forgotten by the short-lived humans that captured him, these last years of solitude have been some of his better ones, compared to those that came before.

    When he falls into human hands once more, he can only expect his suffering to resume. But the Fortress of Meropide he's brought into is no longer the one he remembers, and Wriothesley proves a different sort of human than any he's ever known.
