Author's note: HC_bingo: forced to face fear. / longfic_Bingo: Zombie apocalypse. Pre-game, This starts in the middle of the drama CD 3, you can read translations here for context. I would highly recommend reading them anyways as it was an interesting look into what drove many events in this story to happen. Essentially I'd been working on this a while and this helped center the story.
I'd say it also counts as mildly canon divergence (only in a few scenes, though.) Other than that, it assumes the same precanon as in game.
Inspired by one part of Laurent's talks with his mother: "I spent my time trying to find you. You were such a perfectionist, you somehow managed to die without leaving a corpse. So I clung to the silly hope that maybe you had not died at all. For all I know, my "time travel" was all some ruse of yours. ...I wouldn't put it past you."
Also inspired by this: this prompt.
Via supports and Noire's glowing tile conversations, it shows that Noire has magical abilities seemingly no matter what her class is and has apparently even picked up the knack of hexes despite Tharja specifically not teaching her.
"I've learned a few hexes of my own, Mother. Want to take me on?" (train) for example.
Yes, technically Laurent does come in at level ten in his chapter canonically. But when you take into account that he had a really large headstart, I personally thought it'd make more sense for him to be a bit higher level. Or you can just assume he grew several levels by beating all the brigand reinforcements and hit a master seal practically in his first level like Laurent's I've had in the past, lol.
Laurent's specific backstory mentioned here is actually from Future Past, specifically the Ricken talks.
