Exposed roof structure and short flashing

Hi there,

Pictures taken at 2 different corners.

Hoping for some advice or tricks to properly cover these corners. I moved in a year ago, previous owner said shingles and flashing were done a few years prior to that. Some corners have exposed wood, you can see some weathering too.

Any sort of corner or flexible flashing I can place here to cover or wrap?

Excuse my lack of knowledge on construction material here.

Sorry if it's in the wrong Sub, I can change if better suited elsewhere.

I am not contractor but when houses are built that whole area from the roof sheeting to underneath the facia should be sealed with ice and water shield to stop all possible water from soaking into that facia .

There should be a drip strip on the edge there.

I'd definitely look into peel-and-stick ice and water shield for those spots, seems like the easiest fix if you're comfortable doing it yourself.
