    Summary

    A guttural growl rips its way out of Javier’s throat. The air around him distorts with the sheer force of mana pouring off of him.

    “I don’t know who you are,” he rasps, “but I will find you, and I will kill you.”

    From where he’s holding Lloyd, the other Javier looks up, silent. The space around them twists, heavy with pressure, and their surroundings begin to fade.

    “I’ll return him in one piece,” he says. “I promise.”

    The Knight of Blood and Iron is determined to do whatever it takes to fix his crumbling world. Even if it means kidnapping Lloyd Frontera from a better, happier universe into his.

    So you see, Lloyd really doesn't have time to worry about this "secondary gender" thing at all.

    Summary

    Enkrid has always fought his silent battles successfully. But when a deadly curse leaves him blind, deaf, and mute, his entire squad is thrown into chaos. With their captain suddenly cut off from the world, they’re left scrambling in desperation, racing against time to bring him back before the curse claims him for good.

    It’s a good thing their captain trusts them wholeheartedly.

    Summary

    Fear was supposed to be predictable for Encrid, just another echo in the endless cycle he’s learned to survive. But when death stops being distant and starts striking at the people he can’t bear to lose, the loop becomes a cage tightening around his ribs. Every reset brings him closer to the truth, closer to danger, and closer to the feelings he's starting to notice and embrace.

    Or: the ferryman makes it so that the loop begins only when someone from his squad dies.
