Posted by KJ on the 26th of November, 2009 at 12:40 pm under Uncategorized.    This post has no comments.

Summary: Auron fights to defend Braska’s honor, and to exorcise the ghosts of his past.

Notes: Written by request for an Auron fic trade.

Metadata: 2725 words, rated PG, Gen. Set during the pilgrimage. Spoilers for Auron’s backstory.

Belonging

The late morning sun blazed down on the Besaid docks as the gulls cried overhead. Auron paused on the wooden boards, shading his eyes with a hand to better see the birds gliding on the sea breeze. Then he dropped his hand and turned around. Jecht was already on the ship; he had bounded up the gangway ahead of them and was now prowling the bow in search of seats. But Braska hung back, standing on the stairs to the dock and staring at the beach. Auron returned to Braska and gave him a curious look. “My lord? Are you ready? The ship leaves soon.”

Getting Rest

Summary: Lulu thought she wanted to be alone, but Rikku’s company proves to be a fine distraction from her troubles.

Notes: Written for a request of Lulu/Rikku, and to give myself more practice with F/F pairings.

Metadata: Rated R, 2300 words. Lulu/Rikku. Set after Bikanel; spoilers to that point.

Getting Rest

“We ain’t gonna find her today. Might as well head for the cabin, get some sleep.”

“Easy for him to say,” Wakka muttered to Lulu as the two of them left the bridge, Cid’s words still echoing in her other ear. They passed Sir Auron, who acknowledged them with a nod; Lulu nodded in return, then turned to Wakka.

“Perhaps, though it is still good advice.” Lulu raised her left shoulder in a shrug. “We won’t be any good to Yuna if we’re not well-rested when we do find her.”

Elemental

Posted by KJ on the 26th of November, 2009 at 12:11 pm under Uncategorized.    This post has no comments.

Summary: Lulu takes her first steps on the path of black magic.

Notes: Written during the Chocobo Down phase of the 2009 round of Final Fantasy Exchange. The prompt was “Young Lulu learns to be a mage.”

Metadata: Rated PG. 3565 words, gen. First posted in September 2009.

Elemental

Lulu is five.

She stands alone on the bluff overlooking the ruins, one hand tightened into a fist, the other clenched around her Moogle doll, the only thing she was able to take with her when the priests told them to run. A heavy hand rests on her shoulder, and it’s the only thing keeping her from blowing away in the wind, floating into the sky with the clouds, tossed into the sea with the rest of the debris. She stares hard at the piles of wood scattered across the ground, trying to pick out what might be the remains of her home.

Where her parents are.

Political Considerations

Posted by KJ on the 6th of September, 2009 at 8:05 pm under Uncategorized.    This post has no comments.

Summary: A year after Ashe’s coronation, she faces up to some realities of her position.

Notes: Written as a back-up gift for the 2009 round of Final Fantasy Exchange. This was directly inspired by “Alternate Histories”, the other Balthier/Ashe story I wrote based on [info]lassarina’s prompt.

Metadata: Balthier/Ashe. Rated PG-13, about 5000 words. Implied spoilers. First posted in August 2009.

Political Considerations

The afternoon sun shone down on Ashe as she made her way down the pathway toward the pavilion in the heart of the garden. Shading her eyes, she saw that Penelo was already there, along with a light lunch; the girl saw her coming and waved, and Ashe raised her hand to return the greeting. The time had come for Penelo’s monthly visit to the palace, to report anything of interest she might have learned on her jaunts with Vaan. The sky pirates made an effective spy network; Ashe wondered why no previous Dalmascan rulers had thought of using them in that way. She could not be the only one to have ever forged such… personal relationships.

Alternate Histories

Posted by KJ on the 6th of September, 2009 at 7:59 pm under Uncategorized.    This post has one comment.

Notes: Written for the 2009 round of Final Fantasy Exchange.

Alternate Histories

Two figures stood on the rooftop of the Castle, marking the passing of the hours, next to one another on the ramparts, only a hands-breath of space between them. Much of the night they had spent in this fashion, standing together and watching the sky, talking but little, mostly enjoying the view and the quiet. The last of the stars were still visible behind them, but the pair faced east, the sun peering over the edge of the world, where it glittered off the distant ocean.

“So, today’s the big day.” (read more)

Change of Scenery

Posted by KJ on the 6th of September, 2009 at 7:55 pm under Uncategorized.    This post has one comment.

Change of Scenery

I went all the way to Paris
To forget your face…
– Indigo Girls, “History of Us”

A gust of wind blew off the Seine, kicking up papers and leaves to swirl in the street, ruffling the coats of passers-by, inspiring at least one man to clamp his hand on top of his head to keep his hat from making a break for it. Baralai looked up from his paper — yesterday’s New York Times, purchased at the newsstand just outside his hotel, the single remnant of home he allowed himself — and tightened his grip on the pages while wrapping his other hand around the coffee cup, as much to steal its warmth as to keep it secure on the table.

Lines of Communication

Summary: In which Penelo gets a letter and much is revealed.
