Crossposted from AO3, so yeah. Some things to not beforehand- there's little romance, it's kind of wild, the shortest chapter is 20 words and the longest is currently 12k and they're right next to each other, and Luna and Noct are the same person. It will be fifteen chapters, and 12 chapters are currently completed. I've currently written about 49k. The title stands for Final Fantasy Undermined Cool Characters, because Luna is great, and ffucc she deserved more.

Edit: This is now available in Chinese, translated by the lovely woodencat. :)

When Luna is four years old, she comes to the realization that she can see two things at once. That she has four arms, four ears, four eyes, four legs, and that she has a brother and is the next in line to be Oracle, but is also an only child and is next in line to be King of Lucis.

Well, that is a bit of a lie. She doesn't find out the last part until a year later, when she's stumbling around the Citadel in Insomnia with small, chubby legs and a servant calls her Prince Noctis and she finally makes the connection.

Something inside Luna tells her that she mustn't tell anyone.

So instead, she asks her mother, the Oracle, about Lucis, and she smiles tenderly and strokes Luna's blond hair gently, and regales the tale of the Crystal, the Ring of Lucii, the Chosen King, and the Oracle.

"Mother?" Luna asks, feeling very small. "Is the Oracle… to help the King ascend and rid the world of darkness?"

Her mother smiles at her. "Yes, Lunafreya. That is my duty, and one day it will be yours. But you are only a child, and too young for such things. Why don't you go run along with Ravus?"

Luna's father, King Regis, smiles down at her and sets her on his lap, and speaks to her warmly, despite knowing that a child as small as Noctis cannot possibly understand all he is saying. (Luna does, though.)

"Noctis, you are my son." He smiles sadly, newly formed wrinkles on his face crinkling. "I only wish to protect you from the dangers of the world, but I fear one day it will no longer be possible. You are the Chosen King, Noctis, and I cannot protect you forever. But still… I can wish. As for now though, it is my duty to care for this kingdom from the empire. Care for you."

Luna stares up to him with wide eyes, wishing, wanting desperately to say "I love you" back to him, because she does, she really does, but Noctis' mouth refuses to cooperate. Instead, the babble of a baby washes out, and her father merely smiles at her.

Chapters don't get longer until like the fifth chapter so ha. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
