"BYLETH, YOU'RE DYING."
Those were the words Byleth Eisner had heard her entire life...but it had never rang true. She had always known that the doctors were wrong, that she was going to keep living, but the fear of death was constant. Born with a heart that never beat, Byleth's life was constantly swamped with doctor's visits and frantic calls from the hospital.
Byleth was just going about her normal day when a new face pops in at her workplace, the Eisner bar. His name is Claude von Riegan, a new bartender who has big dreams and hidden secrets.
They hit it off right away. And for the first time, Byleth feels as if maybe life really is more than just waking up every day and going through the motions. For the first time in her life, the fear of death disappears from her mind.
"BYLETH, YOU'RE DYING."
These three words had echoed through Byleth's entire life...but this time, Byleth knew it was true. The doctors showed her screenings of something mutating on her heart. At most, she has one year to live, unless she can find a cure.
Despairing about the unfairness of the situation, Byleth swears she will save herself. For her own sake, her life would continue on, especially now that she had become enlightened by Claude's presence.
However, it doesn't take him long to figure out something is wrong with his new instructor. Claude promises to stand by her side, and help her. Inspired by this new hope, Byleth and Claude must race against time to find a cure before her clock runs out.

A Fire Emblem Three Houses high school vampire AU. Byleth is used to her father's job causing them to move suddenly, and has to start her senior year at a new school, Garreg Mach. Typically a loner, she doesn't expect to make new friends at a private academy, where everyone seems to already know everyone, but on the first day, she takes an interest in Hubert, while his friend Edelgard takes an interest in her. Byleth quickly finds herself growing close to both of them, unsure of her developing feelings for Hubert. She doesn't have any romantic experience, and Hubert is not only a strange guy, but also so close to Edelgard that it's hard to figure out what their relationship actually is. Not to mention her confusion where her own relationship with Edelgard is concerned... Amidst all of this, there are rumors floating around town regarding a strange series of killings. People say that the attacks look like the work of a vampire, and as Byleth's classmates begin to buy into these rumors, they start rumors of their own, involving one of Byleth's new friends. Hubert is strange, sure, but...a vampire? She doesn't want to believe it, because, after all, vampires don't exist. Main pairing is FByleth x Hubert x Edelgard x Ferdinand, with the OT4 being a rather slowburn.Complete

Thank you! ~•~ + vs / When I use + between character names, it's a non-romantic one shot. When I use / between character names, it's a romantic one shot. ~•~ These oneshots are no longer being written.Complete
