Guardian

To her mother, he’s nothing more than a figment of Garnet’s imagination, a mere hallucination that could ruin her forever. And so, she shamefully hides her daughter away in an asylum, unaware that it holds many people like Garnet—-not crazy, but Holy.

1. Author's Note

AUTHOR'S NOTE

(The next chapter is an actual chapter, so I suppose you can just skip to that. This isn't really important to the story, but it's important to me, so…)

I'm trying something here, and I'm doing it with a new Final Fantasy X-2 story as well: I'm trying to make the AU world as similar to the actual flow of events as possible.

See, I've read a lot of AU fics where the characters just aren't themselves, and it's begun to bother me. My own story (Not Always the Best) is the same way, and therefore I'm not entirely sure I'm going to finish it. I may do, just for fun, but I really wanted to write a story where the characters and character development are roughly similar to how they were in the game. Otherwise, what's the difference between writing the story in this fandom or another, if the characters aren't even transferred properly from the game to the AU? Seriously. I've read AU High School Fics that are so non-parallel to the game that the author could just change the names of the characters and throw the story into another fandom, and it would make no difference.

I'm just thinking out loud, here. Bear with me.

Oh, and thanks for reading! Sorry you had to suffer through that ridiculously long Author's note. You can continue onto the story now!
