Takumi’s Solo Ending, JPN:

“Takumi assisted in the restoration of Hoshido, which had been desolated due to the ravages of war.

Story Summary: Corrin choosing Nohr is a life-changing decision not just for her, but for everyone around her as well. If it weren't for her, Sakura might not have chosen to fight in the war. If it weren't for her, Sakura's family might have been whole again. If it weren't for her, she might not have been haunted at night by the ghosts of the soldiers she's killed in battle. Corrin is to blame for so much of the pain that has occurred in Sakura's life, but in some part, she knows she must own up to the pain she caused herself as well...

But if Sakura's choice to fight did little more than delay the inevitable, then she must ask herself: was her choice to fight back against Nohr truly all for nothing?

Story Word Count: 4,534 words

Story Summary: Growing up, Hinoka came up with many pictures of what her life would look like, but being the wife of the ex-princess Camilla Soranus was a possibility that never crossed her mind. Parenting a six-year-old daughter alongside her, even less so. The things we picture for our futures often turn out differently than we expected, and nobody knows that better than Hinoka, because these two girls are some of the most precious things she could ever have dreamed of having… Even if they do try to rope her into their own kind of trouble, every once in awhile.

Story Chapter Count: 2/?

Story Summary: Shiro Santori, or Prince Shinonome Masahide?

Shiro's parents lied about his identity to protect him. They lied with noble intentions. It doesn't change the fact that, for Shiro, his whole life is gone, and in its place is a new set of responsibilities as the future Crown Prince of Hoshido. Navigating his new life will already be hard enough, but with the relationship between him and his parents dashed to pieces, he has no idea where to turn. Through battles, explorations of the past, and time spent together as a real family, Shiro may discover that while there is no excuse for such harsh lies, that doesn't mean there is no explanation for their choices... and the ugly feelings on both sides still have strong roots in love for one another.

Shiro may not know who he is, but as it turns out, both his parents are still working on figuring that out for themselves, too.
