Greetings readers!

LadyWolvie82 back…and I have a FFNet exclusive piece, which I should have the first chapter posted next week! The title of this is "Paying it Forward" and it is a Fangrai pairing but nowhere near as dark. What I will say about this is that it's on the theme of Fang and Lightning meeting later in life as single parents and it'll be around the same length of the AO3 exclusive piece "Second Time Around", plus this will have the M Rating.

With characters outside the dynamic duo, Seven (FF Type-0) and Lasswell (FF Brave Exvius) will be here – Seven is Lightning's daughter while Lasswell is Fang's son but both are a much younger age, and I'll add that Seven is a few years older than Lasswell here (in FFBE he's 20). In addition, this tale will mention a past pairing of Fang/Jihl as well as a past pairing of Lightning/Original Character to help with the overall flow of the tale.

With that being said, this will be a variation of a Flight project I plan on starting at the end of the year, the working title "Life with the Yun-Farrons" at the moment (which could change), which I might or might not add Sice into the equation. This upcoming but also ongoing project will have a T Rating on both AO3 and FFNet, as it'll be fluffier than what I normally write on either site.

One final thing – I had to put some thought into this – there will be some OOC here in this tale. I was told in one of my other stories to tread lightly on the out of character element, and my reply to that: there are other Flight tales that have a decent amount of Out of Character in them. I'm not the only one. Sometimes, I use actual moments from the games and expand on it (Lightning was bawling her eyes out in the DLC for FF XIII-2, for example) which might seem like it's out of character.

Writing fan fiction will have some (not all) writers putting known characters from whatever source out of character to varying degrees. I don't tell anyone to tread lightly when a tale has whoever is in the story to tread lightly whenever they write a tale that has some out of character. Maybe they did it on purpose, or it's possible that they were asked to write it and they lacked a clue about whatever it they were asked.

Other than that, I should have a new chapter for the Fangrai/Sebusai collection up at the end of the week (a NSFW piece on Sebusai). I have some real life stuff that I've been up to lately (work and being sick with a migraine and cold, for starters) and I hope that it won't affect my being able to write tales here in the near future. Take care of yourselves, peace!

Cheers,
