Summary
What if, instead of worldbuilding around the need for a playable game, we highlighted the vast array of support staff that military officers and nobles require to function, and the horrid tangle of languages that everyone would speak with each other?
Taliyah is a Srengi earth mage, a dread weapon passed from faction to faction within the Leicester Alliance until she found peaceful patronage with Count Ordelia. She now serves as personal servant and bodyguard to his eldest daughter, as Lysithea attends her first year at Garreg Mach Officer's Academy.
Watch over her shoulder as she navigates her orbit around martial high society in a strange land!

"You do not need to be good to be loved. You need only be."
Mr. Dart is fine, but that doesn't mean Jemis doesn't want to help. (That doesn't mean that Mr. Dart doesn't need it.)

TENDER...cool to see assistance from a reticent bottom's point of view (since I have no such compunctions re: being helped), and I love descriptions of people taking care of each other during hard times

Bookmarker's Notes
Brief erotica that perfectly inhabits the voice of Rose Lalonde and captures The Form Of party-gemütlichkeit & fucking your friends. A little bit "cock"-heavy for my full comfort, but loving a trans woman is so unquestioned a part of lesbian desire that my hackles are smoothed anew.
(Got here via trying to figure out what was up with https://60th.tumblr.com/post/723202242971418624/ and honestly the Catullus explains a lot)

Bookmarker's Notes
Very good distraction-based erotica! I don't quite know who these men are yet even, and I still had a DELIGHTFUL time. It's the perfect length for the genre: straight to business while suffused with intimacy and taking the time to establish genuine affection.

There is no way this could be misinterpreted.

Bookmarker's Notes
Oh! Oh!!!! This is THE "Marianne is trans" work; it beautifully weaves together canon and fanon (Hilda and Edelgard are exes) and a bit of the author's personal touch. I didn't like how crests seem to be a physical object in the body here, and there are a couple spelling errors (gleam should be glean, e.g.), but on the whole the prose is delightfully stated, the dialogue clearly differentiates the characters and very much feels like their voices, and I love how much sense this coming-out story and romance make, even to an original narrative that didn't conceive of either in the slightest.
