Links to the various parts of this 'verse as they're mostly being written for fan-flashworks and other like challenges.
Eventually this will go on ao3, but it's not there yet. So to organise it in the meantime...
(Pieces below in chronological order, splits mark vague sections - there's a whole lot of stuff to go between all of these, but they should make sense anyway?)
Title: an incomplete guide to chivalry
Author: down (dragon of winter nights)
Rating: probably a 15 or so overall
Relationships: Emeraude/Zagato, eventually Clef/Umi, Fuu/Ferio, and I'll get back to you on anything else ^^
oOo
Tempest: Umi, Fuu and Hikaru might have overcome their kidnappers, but the sea is something else.
on ffwks comm here
Galeforce: Eleru is the furthest, most storm-swept part of Cephiro, home to Clef - who is about to have three strange women washed up onto his lands, and has no idea the trouble they will both cause and save him over the years to come...
on ffwks comm here
Mapped Out: Umi can't sleep.
on ffwks comm here
oOo
Shelter: The three girls meet a stranger in the forest...
on ffwks comm here
Reference: In the aftermath of a battle, three women are hoping to enter the service of Queen Emeraude, but they have no one to speak for them...
on ffwks comm here
Indistinct: The Earl of Eleru rode in too late for anything but the very end of the battle. (Clef + Umi, Hikaru, Fuu)
on ffwks comm here
Poor Defences: If he had not looked at the right moment to witness it happening, Clef would probably have believed Umi when, after the skirmish, she grinned about the tent full of the Queen's commanders and claimed she had taken no harm.
on ffwks comm here
oOo
Difficult: They both know how to be difficult. Tonight is Clef's turn. (Clef and Umi)
on ffwks comm here
Dutiful: "I cannot leave you! Not after all we have been through!" (Hikaru, Umi, Fuu - and Clef)
on ffwks comm here
To The Sea: Umi isn't sure whether to trust the kindness of strangers, not when their business is so secret - and who is this Lord Selece that keeps being mentioned anyway?
on ffwks comm here
Surety: One evening, shortly after having had to separate from their friend, Fuu and Hikaru settle in for another night in the woods.
on ffwks comm here
Reunion: "I made a resolution, once. I resolved that I would never leave you to bear this alone." (Emeraude + Ferio)
on ffwks comm here
oOo
Gift: Ferio isn’t king quite yet. (Fuu/Ferio)
on tumblr here
Vows: "What kind of a plan is this, my lord?" (Fuu/Ferio)
on ffwks comm here
oOo
Tourney: “You are determined, then. To fight, disguised as some nameless person without reputation to warn you opponents what you are capable of-“ (Leaning strongly into Umi/Clef) (The first bit of this I wrote, heh)
on ffwks comm here
Favour: "Would you not tell us your name, and for whom you fought so valiantly?" (Totally falling over into Clef/Umi)
on ffwks comm here
Token: Clef’s late. But he has a pretty good excuse. (Still not admitting it yet but totally Umi/Clef)
on tumblr here
oOo
Foundation: Fuu watches the city, and makes plans. (Fuu/Ferio)
on ffwks comm here
Dented: Presea is obviously the best smith and absolutely the best at making swords in the whole of Cephiro and surrounding lands.

Badge of honour: “I am not issuing new badges to the whole of my retinue just because you think a dragon looks more impressive than my crest!"
