i like seth being hopelessly and desperately in love with an oblivious eirika, doing literally everything for her. everything up to and including covering for her when she sneaks into her brother’s room. an eirika who is truly and wholeheartedly grateful to seth for all his help in hiding her illicit relationship, and a seth who swallows down the pain of helping his beloved get into her brother’s pants.

in exactly the same way i love niles being hopelessly and desperately in love with leo. leo is less oblivious, he knows niles loves him, and he’s ok with that. niles who offers himself to leo late at night, knowing his feelings will never truly be reciprocated. leo who accepts niles into his bed, if only to distract from the thoughts of his sister. niles who’s a little more bitter and spiteful and cruel to camilla than everyone else—he can’t help it, she’s the beloved of the man he loves. but when camilla and leo do finally find each other, niles falls into the same position as seth: doing anything for leo means doing anything, even helping to hide his incestuous relationship.

anyway unrequited royalty/bodyguard when the royal is fucking their sibling. pining for a sibcon :)

Seth, tell us a joke!

SETH: hold on, let me pull up 102 funny one-liners that will get you laughing - best hilarious jokes. i love breaking this out at parties!

SETH: in fact i always have a tab open just for stuff like this.

FATE: (What gates of hell have you just opened.)

SETH: did you hear they arrested the devil? they got him on possession!!!!!!

SETH:

SETH: no that wasnt funny. let me scroll down.

SETH: uhhh.

FATE: (Lord, I feel my IQ bleeding out of my ears. I'm losing braincells just listening to this. I can't handle this. It's unbearable constant and merciless, its grip freezes me with dread down to my bones. I would prefer death to the cold. I can't take this anymore- this is the thing that will finally drive me off the edge.)

SETH: aww little buddy, what are you mumbling about? youre not usually so quiet!

SETH: i understand if the one liners are so funny you need to sit out.

SETH: oh ive got one! some men say that they dont wear their wedding band because it cuts off their circulation-

FATE: (Why would you do this to me? Why would you condemn me to this life of eternal suffering?)

FATE: (Is he still going? I think I'm going deaf. It's all going dark now. I need to end this ask- you're going to hear this for hours. I will shoulder the weight of this burden on your behalf.)

FATE: (Goodbye. It was never meant to be.)

⠀⠀⠀⠀Moments of solace aren't exactly infrequent in the remains of the old world. When you travel alone or in a small group, you can often find plenty of spots out of the way and out of mind. Places to get some quiet rest, and take shifts to watch for trouble.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀When you travel with Tonia, you never get a moment of solace.

⠀⠀⠀⠀Even now, when he has drawn his blade to run a whetstone along the edge to keep it sharp, she does not cease her yammering. He's used to it by now, with how long they've been travelling together, and everything they've been through, but...

"For ten minutes, Tonia."

⠀⠀⠀⠀Sometimes it really grates.

"For ten minutes I would like to sharpen my blade in peace."

⠀⠀⠀⠀He doesn't understand why she suddenly has such an intense fixation on talking about baked goods anyway. They haven't seen a functional oven in weeks.

⠀⠀⠀⠀Sinday? No. Sethday.

I think my favourite element of the writing in aftg is how Riko's downfall is utterly, entirely, beautifully self-inflicted.

Riko is power hungry, a glory seeker, jealous, cruel, vindictive and unable to share the spotlight. His worst actions and features come back to haunt him over and over in a way that is *incredibly* satisfying from a readers' perspective.

-Riko breaks Kevin's hand. Kevin leaves to become one of the foxes' best players, training them into a team worthy of finals and bringing them to victory with the game's final point

-Riko moves the Ravens to the southern district, placing his team directly in the path of the team that will eventually beat him

-Riko terrorises Kevin on the Kathy Ferdinand show, angering Neil into taking a stand against him (...which causes Andrew to re-evaluate Neil's worth, which leads to their deal, which leads to Neil staying with the Foxes...and so on)

-Riko kills Seth, who becomes a driving force for members of the team, particularly Alison, to beat the Ravens

-Riko setting Drake on Andrew further angers the Foxes and motivates them to beat him; Aaron in particular.

-This also results in Andrew sobering up sooner than he otherwise would have, arguably making him a stronger player and helping the Foxes reach finals

-Kidnapping Neil over Christmas break and forcing him to play as a backliner gives Neil an intensive course in Raven teamwork, drills, etc. Which Neil then teaches to the Foxes.

-Oh, and my favourite. They force Neil to play as a backliner against Riko. The very move which Neil then uses to block Riko from scoring in the final. Fantastic. Ten out of (jos)ten.

-Incidentally, beating the shit out of Neil and putting him in a different position causes the Ravens to vastly misunderstand/underestimate how Neil's abilities as a player have developed

-Forcing Neil into his natural appearance and helping his father find him leads to the most unifying moment for the Foxes of the entire series; the Foxes rally around Neil, and finally become one functioning, dedicated unit.

-and god, just when it seems like it couldn't get any better; Riko destroys Jean, taking one of his team's best players off the court before the match can even begin

Riko set almost every moment of his team's defeat into motion months before their match even began; the consequences of his cruelty not only weaken the ravens but fashion an opposing team which is stronger, more unified, and more determined than ever to beat Riko.

And it doesn't end with the match; Riko attempts to kill Neil, serving Ichirou all the justification he needs to dispose of his brother on a silver platter.

Riko Moriyama's fate is self-inflicted from start to finish, in the most deeply satisfying way possible.

"You know, I didn't recognize you at the masquerade because of the magic, but now? Now I do," Evy says with a mean-spirited laugh as her eyes fall on the vampire before her. She remembers him, remember what others told her of what he had become before he was turned. A traitor to Nettelia's book, a vampire that hunted his former kind. Power-hungry and thirsty for the revenge that he believed he deserved but that he didn't. "I would ask you how you are, you piece of vampire feces, but considering how fucking stupid you are, I am not even sure you would know."

[random-bookquotes]

A deficit in that area is considered a disadvantage, and those are where the true opportunities lie. A man down on his literal luck that can persevere is treated quite kindly by the fates. Likewise, for those that fail despite impressively wonderful odds. High risk, high reward, as they say.
