Summary
Fresh off a too-close-for-comfort victory at Baldur’s Gate, (and the equally humbling loss of most of his god-tier power), Gale Dekarios finds himself returned to something far more dangerous than divinity: himself. With ambition responsibly downsized and hubris placed on a strict diet, he determines there are only three things he truly requires in order to restore balance to his life.
Rebuild his tower. See his mother. And...Romance you, the actual love of his life.
The first two are straightforward.
The third is complicated by two minor issues: you are impressively oblivious, and you are absolutely determined not to fall for him again. Undeterred, Gale resolves to approach the situation with patience, sincerity, and perhaps breakfast. After all, he has survived gods, Netherese artifacts, and his own poor decision-making.
Surely he can survive courting you.
Probably.

Suddenly, the whole world begins to fall apart as you realized you will eventually need to confront the terrifying question that brings the demise of every situationship ever.
'What are we?"
Will the question bring the end or will the very idea of the question bring the demise of the relationship sooner than you could ever expect?

Summary
You knew Sylus wouldn't care if you weren't looking your best — he'd seen you in plenty of other situations where you were a mess, that came with the territory of being a Hunter — but this was way worse than he'd ever seen you. Unshowered, unwashed hair that somewhat stuck to your face from the dried tears that were still visible, and you had barely eaten or drank anything since returning to Linkon.
"No," you croaked out. "Sorry. Please go away."

Summary
When Byleth first came to Garreg Mach, she was asked to choose which house she would teach. Though she did not know the students yet, that selection felt as though it was bigger and more momentous than it should have been. A shot in the dark, a flippant decision made from too little information to risk one's fate on. Despite Rhea's keen interest in her, any other new professor would also have been asked to choose between the Black Eagles, Blue Lions and Golden Deer. It was, at its core, arbitrary.
The Ashen Wolf House got to know her as a vigilante problem solver before she was ever their professor. They got to see her messy strategies when she was more than a little bit desperate for the win. They got to preview the series of mysteries woven together to make her life. They saw how she could drag people unwittingly into the web of secrets, danger and ancient magic.
And yet, somehow, despite all that...they chose her anyway.

Summary
You looked at him—Veritas Ratio—a scholar and educator, renowned for his genius, so much so that students in the game canonically pray to him as the ‘Scholar God’ just to pass their exams. Your eyes, desperate, met his, scrutinizing and disappointed. Beautiful.
It was unmistakable; on the top left corner of your document, it read:
