syldue baby fever b-side fic thread brought to you by my niece, who is coming up on 2 years old in the spring and is all over this fic. she is very vocal, very demanding, and needs to be the center of attention. and she also loves kitties :) so you can imagine writing this was very topical for me.

THIS HOLE IS NOT YOUR GRAVE
roxast

Summary:

Dedue doesn’t know. He doesn’t think so. It has pained Sylvain, in the past, to hear the truth that Dedue had not expected to live this long. Let alone know himself the way he does now. Let alone live for himself the way he does now. Dedue, too, is still unpracticed in deciding how he feels about living the rest of his life. He may feel less sundered and denied from that which may perhaps make him whole, but every so often, a new opening, another gap will make itself clear. The road to peace is riddled with holes, big enough to fall into and remain stuck. Sylvain is right to ask; it does beg the question. What does he want?

[or; children and their parents. Parents and their children. Both, and the holes they create or don't create and fall into anyway. Dedue and Sylvain, and what it takes to get out of what is not the end.]
