Disclaimer: I don't own Fai or any other Tsubasa Chronicles characters or the Anime/manga itself. However, I do own the characters Livanya Floros (Neva) and Leander Alexopoulos :)

1. SMILE

A twitch here. A twitch there. His facial muscles felt stiff, unused to such an exercise. His reflection on the still water so unfamiliar. But Ashura Ou had claimed Yuui's smile healed his heart. . . Maybe. . . Maybe it'll heal Fai too.

2. JOY

Sunlight bounced off the snow and his freshly cut golden hair, blinding him momentarily. As the warmth kissed his skin, he felt it eating away at the ice crusting his soul, melting it all until all that was left was a foreign sensation fluttering in his heart that he could not name.

3. FANTASY

"Birthday gift? For. . . Me?!"
"Yes! Anything you want."

Fai's warm fingers holding Yuui's cold ones. Fai smiling a toothy smile. Fai playing with Yuui. Fai. Fai. Fai. Living, breathing Fai.

He smiled and politely asked for a book on dimension travelling magic.

4. MADNESS

Leander Alexopoulos fidgeted on his feet from his position at Fai's bathroom door. "Are you insane? You could've refused, you know!"
"I didn't want to injure his feelings dear nobleman." came the huffy response, followed by yet another round of coughing and upchucking. "At least now you know. . . Never let Ashura Ou cook. . . EVER."

5. PARTNER

He was getting tired of stepping on her toes. He told her so, and she laughed. That's when he noticed that. . . Peculiarity.
"What's this?"
"It's a dimple! You have one too. No, actually, you have two. I'm jealous." she laughed again. He spotted the . . . dimple, winking on one side of her mouth.
"I'm Livanya, by the way." she smiled. "And you can ask for my hand in the next dance too."

6. EPHEMERAL

Maybe his heart was truly frozen, he mused, enabling him to stand through the heavy snowfall. But as the cottony snowflakes danced downward, some caught on his porceline skin and melting into transparent droplets, he knew the cold gripping his heart wasn't permanent. His heart, like the snowflakes, had the potential to melt.

7. PRECIOUS

He ran his fingertips down the length of the soft, ornate feather pulsing with beautiful, clean magic, and for a moment he could easily picture himself dying to protect something so precious.

8. ADORE

The children's picture book in Ashura Ou's library had colourful pictures of cats. It also said cats didn't live in Celes because of the cold weather. But Fai wanted a cat. They looked so cute and fluffy and cuddly. . . . And Fai really really wanted to have a cat.

The first time Chi woke up and twitched her ears, Fai could've melt in his shoes from the utter cuteness.

9. LOST

"I . . . I want to call you Neva."
"Why?"
"Because. . . Because you're like a rose. . . . Covered in snow."
"Oh. . . Okay!"
She blushed and turned to get back into to castle. Something tugged in his chest as he looked at her retreating form.
"Oh. . . " he sighed in understanding. ". . . She took it away."

10. RESIGNATION

"Please. . . . Fai. . . . Pleeeeaaase. . ."
"No. . . No . . . NO!"
A slight tremble of her lips and his defences came down like a twig against a flood. ". . Fine." he grumbled.

Ashura Ou nearly fell out of his chair laughing at the sight of the flowers that Chi had intricately braided in Fai's hair.
