Edelclaude Week

In the early morning, despite Edelgard's desire to do nothing but lounge around, Claude receives a letter. He stiffens, almost imperceptibly, and then laughs, that falsely casual laugh that she had so hated when they’d first met. She’d seen it as dangerous, arrogant, before she’d come to know him. Now she sees it for what it is, his coping mechanism for keeping himself together. She knows because she has her own coping mechanism, how her fists tighten, her countenance gets colder, her nails dig into her palms. He’s come to recognize that mood in her too. If she’d told her younger self that she’d understand Claude this intimately, she thinks that young girl would have never believed her.

For @edelclaudeweek! Day 6: Future/Sunrise.

Khalid can't stop thinking about Edelgard's hands. Or rather, her gloves and the way he's never once seen her hands.

For @edelclaudeweek Day 4! Hands!!!

Rating: G Warnings: None Tags: Light Angst, set shortly after oswald von riegan's death, edelgard's inability to comfort people like a normal person vs her weirdly sentimental streak FIGHT, claude is oddly endeared by it even tho he probably shouldn't be, don't worry about it it's fine., their relationship when they were students is left vague, but i imagine it as being sort of dating but also not officially dating

There are a few reasons Emperor Edelgard is looking forward to her tour of Fódlan’s Locket. For one, it means she’s nearing the end of months on the road. Summer is approaching, and the weather will be quite nice. And then there’s her old classmate and former opponent, Claude von Riegan, who always makes a point of turning up whenever she’s near the Almyran border.

The visit, and their rendezvous, should be a routine thing – but the stakes are raised when an unknown assailant joins the party.

The Annual Poetry Recitation Competition of Garreg Mach is underway, and Edelgard is determined to neither lose nor show off any of her more...heretical inclinations while competing. Too bad Claude seems a little too interested in transgressions.

Written for @edelclaudeweek 2023! Day 1: Rivalry.

The Unification Treaty's Anniversary just happens to fall in the same year as the Millennium Festival. Although Edelgard is opposed to it, festivities commence at Garreg Mach, and the Millennium Ball takes place just as it would have before everything changed. But Claude has something up his sleeve, and Edelgard is determined to figure out what. For @edelclaudeweek! Day 2: Dance.

The Risk Inherent in Hope | T - 3.8k

Claude hesitates, inexplicably seeking an opportunity for a farewell like in Enbarr or otherwise. But the hesitation between them—whether she calls it mercy or he calls it sentiment or anyone calls it what others their age might mistake for love—leaves no room for affectionate and understanding goodbyes.
