Hope you like it! Here's my gift to you... A pairing getting their first fanfic! And plenty more where it came from… XD
1. Memory
They fought against all odds to keep what they already had of each other
2. Fright
Shirma feared she'd lost Raffaello in the Destroyer but kept faith in her heart he would return
3. Time
With the Destroyer gone, Shirma and Raffaello spent every moment they could together
4. Fly
Raffaello grinned and whispered to Shirma, "I'll take us somewhere special where we can be alone for as long as we want." The white mage blushed, knowing what he was implying and simply held onto him tightly as he continued to fly them to their destination
5. Regret
He always hated himself for having broken her heart so many times
6. Twilight
"It's the best place to watch the sunset!" Raffaello never doubted Shirma's reasoning when he saw the sunset with her atop the clocktower
7. Misunderstanding
Croma only happened to walk in on seeing Shirma and Raffaello holding each other in his bed before cursing at him and chasing him out with a barrage of Flare spells, ignoring Shirma's pleas to stop. "But Sis, he was only helping me warm up! You know it's cold out!"
8. Serenade
They enjoyed dancing together to the music of the jukebox in Dardola's Dining, always drawing in a crowd
9. Love
Raffaello shyly kissed the white mage, holding her closely to him, hoping it would let her know his feelings. A blushing Shirma returned the gesture, both teens now knowing they felt the same
10. Forgive
He could never forgive himself for his sins, but she was there to forgive them for him
11. Forbidden
The unison of an Oracle and Sacred Beast was strictly forbidden, especially to those of opposing elements but that never stopped their love for each other

She loved how the color made him look angelic
13. Purity
He loved her innocence but feared she would forever be tainted by his darkness
14. Savior

15. Cover
His wings hid them both from the world, letting them to be in their own
16. Lust

17. Celebrate
Instead of joining the party throughout town of the Destroyer's defeat, they crept away together to watch the lights from atop the clocktower in each other's arms
18. Secret
He knew he'd always love her but something in his heart began to bother him when he had the urge to touch her on more than one occasion
19. Element
They balanced each other, fitting one another's body and element perfectly
20. Protective
He knew she could fend for herself in the midst of a battle but that only made him want to keep her safely behind him more
21. Dream
He once dared to venture into her dreams through her memories only to see the image of a mysterious young boy with emerald green eyes that shone like Shirma's and hair that looked exactly like his own with an innocent smile
22. Pain
"Because you love her, I will take her as mine." The Destroyer's cruel laugh left Raffaello horrified and despaired
23. Requiem
They felt safe in each other's arms, solace in all the elements as long as they were together
24. Judgment
Nobody could ever separate them, not even Croma, who still didn't completely trust Raffaello much to Shirma's dismay
25. Falter
Raffaello used much of his power once he caught onto the Destroyer's plan, desperately hoping to change the course of the sword enough so that Shirma would be spared, but it never changed Croma's demise
26. Mysterious
He was an enigma to all but her, he preferred it this way
27. Private
Raffaello brought Shirma and Chocobo to a cave under Levia Point, planning to show them a secret cavern. After opening the seal with his powers, he asked Chocobo to stay outside so he could show something special to Shirma, letting them have a moment alone
28. Nightmare
Her screams of terror in the night were always of the memories she wanted to forget most, his leaving and betrayal; but now she was glad he was there with her to stay and comfort her
29. Confusion
The lusting gaze of the Destroyer sent chills down her spine but she couldn't help but blush because it was Raffaello's body that was staring at her so intently
30. Heart
They both knew he wasn't human although he felt as much as one with her
31. Self – loathing
He couldn't stop hating himself for having made her suffer so much
32. Loneliness
He craved her company desperately but he knew it would only put her in danger, as the Destroyer urged him to call her into the fortress, which he knew she would come if he did
33. Unique
He was different but that's what she loved about him, it's what gives him his worth
34. Something Special
"By putting our strengths together, we can achieve something amazing!" Her words couldn't be more true for them now with their love for each other as their strength

Their story was filled with heartbreak and tragedy but that only lead to a new beginning of happiness
