A/N: In Epilogue: The Yun-Farron Family, this starts with the Yun version of the ceremony in Oerba, but ends several years later, with focus on Seven and Lasswell as adults (the pairing here is Seven/Sice and Lasswell/Citra) instead of Lightning and Fang, who will be mentioned throughout. A bit of smut but mostly fluff. Enjoy!
Epilogue: The Yun-Farron Family
"Is everyone packed and ready to go? We don't have much time before the boat for Oerba leaves..." Lightning asks every human, which all confirm that they're fully packed and ready to go, as once they're in Oerba, they don't come back home for six weeks. Sice, Odin, Kain, Bahamut and Y'shtola were all welcomed onto the boat, which made life much easier for the Yun-Farron family plus Sice on an overall scale. It also meant that Seven has quality time with her beloved horse as Y'shtola claimed Sice as her human. This trip would be the first time Lightning has ever set foot in Oerba proper, and as Serah, Snow, and Hope are related somehow to either woman, they too were allowed to come due to customs within the Yun version of the wedding ceremony, although it would be the second time Hope has been to Oerba once before, when he and Vanille wed while Fang was married to Jihl.
It has been six months since Lightning and Fang said "I Do" in front of family, colleagues and friends. Fang and Lightning went on their private honeymoon, which Lid begged to allow the young redhead to look after Seven, Sice, Lasswell and the pets while the older women toured Orience for two weeks for what Serah and also Vanille deemed some much needed "Clang-a-Lang" time. Upon their return to Neo Oerba, things went back to normal for the family, who all felt were whole and complete after all this time apart due to the previous marriages Lightning and Fang were a part of. In the time frame leading to the family's six week trip to Oerba, there have been ups and downs in the Yun-Farron household, but that was normal with them. What made it better this time around was that the family got through the issues as a family, because they fought for each other when it matter the most.
Upon arrival to the boat that would take everyone and the animals to Oerba, everyone got through the inspection in record time, which was a major relief for Lightning, as being a commissioned officer, she was allowed to bring her gunblade onboard the ship. Once everyone and everything was ready to go, the ship set sail for Oerba, which was a week long trip in itself. Seven spent most of her time with Odin as the silver haired girl was the horse's best friend. He was a much healthier horse since he arrived on Seven's birthday than when he was in the stables. As for Lasswell - he and Bahamut were either napping or playing. It was unwise if those two were pried apart for long. Sice was in the company of both Y'shtola and Kain. Kain was in protective mode of the other two all trip long. As for the older humans - they either had varying chats for what Lightning, Serah and Snow is to expect while in Oerba or sexy times with their respective spouse.
It was a miracle that the kids were able to sleep through the sexy times.

Fang couldn't help but smile upon looking at Lightning's face when the older Farron set foot onto Oerba proper. The pinkette felt so much at peace while looking around the land her new wife calls home. Jihl was indifferent when she and I were in Oerba, and here Sunshine is embracing my hometown as well as my people - she even sees Vanille as her new sister and Lasswell as her son. I should have sought the divorce from Jihl sooner... Fang thought to herself, feeling a bit down as the memory of her ex-wife briefly came to light, but as soon as she saw how happy Lightning was to be in Oerba, the memory faded away, looking forward to the future she wants to build together with Lightning, Seven and Lasswell. It would be the older Farron to have Fang think of the future, after Lasswell and Seven are grown up. "How about you and I retire here once the kids grow up? As much as I would like to be in Neo Oerba for the rest of my life, I'd much rather be here in Oerba with you." Lightning starts by bringing up the topic of possible relocation once she retires from the Guardian Corps in 10-15 years; by then, Lasswell would be in university or whatever he chooses to do when he's older, which both Fang and Lightning fully support whatever it is. They knew that Seven would return to Orience with Sice once they're grown up, as both girls would be gearing towards being Agito officers for Rubrum once the training was done, and then seek a transfer from Orience to Gran Pulse, as an Agito base is just outside Oerba.
Two days into the trip, everyone in Oerba makes preparations of Lightning and Fang's wedding ceremony, Yun style, which was the next day but lasted for five days straight. Fang's heart melted and also blushed when her parents bear hugged the older Farron after introductions were made, as they fell in love with her upon seeing her for the first time. "Our daughter-in-law. Thank you for healing our Snaggles and Lasswell." Enya and Lucien greeted Lightning in unison, thankful that the older Farron gave the brunette a chance considering that Fang was previously married, just like Lightning was married once before herself. The older Farron was at a loss for words, which her in-laws provided extra comfort, as they knew that Lightning was just as happy to meet them as they were about meeting her. "Seven, Sice and Lasswell all got taller since we last saw them!" Lucien proudly boasted when he saw his grandchildren plus Sice, but he and Enya both would be shocked when Lightning FINALLY had something to say. "Mum...dad...I was thinking that...when I retire from the Guardian Corps in 10-15 years from now, would it be okay for Fang and I to retire here...?" she started, but another hug and a nod gave her the answer she needed: Ya sure can, daughter. Seven, Fang, you, Sice and Lasswell are all welcome to live here if you choose.
The next five days was the ceremony of Fang and Lightning's marriage being properly recognised by the Yun clan, as well as the other clans throughout the village of Oerba and all of Gran Pulse. Dancing, rituals, food, storytelling, the exchange of necklaces and the announcement that Fang will be the new leader of the Yun clan once the day comes that both Lucien and Enya pass on, which helps cement the decision of Fang and Lightning moving to Oerba from Neo Oerba once Lightning retires from the Guardian Corps, which will be the day that Lasswell is out of school and makes a decision of what he wants to do next, which he is torn about going to university near Grandshelt in Lapis with Rain, or university in Oerba to be near those in the Yun clan. It was the day after the celebration was done that Seven, Sice and Lasswell separate from everyone else to have a heart-to-heart chat about his indecisiveness, which after some careful thought about it, Lasswell decides to go to Grandshelt and spend time with Rain at university there, for he can always come to Oerba at a later time, as the two girls plan on doing the same when the time comes for them in turn. Once this decision was relayed to Lightning and Fang, they couldn't stop smiling as the kids will be apart from them but it wouldn't be forever, as they both have future plans on moving to Oerba proper when the time was right.
Fang and Lightning will be together to the end.
20 Years Later
"Damn, Lasswell... I love it when you're deep inside me while I'm riding you... ungh..." Citra loudly moans for her husband as she faithfully rides his member for all it's worth in their modest home in Oerba. Lasswell stayed true to his word by going to university with Rain in Grandshelt, where he met and then married Citra, who reminded him a bit of Lightning at her age. Citra immediately agreed to move to Oerba with him as she genuinely loved him and her knowledge that he's the son of the leader of the Yun clan was just a bonus to her. When he first started his studies in Grandshelt, he was homesick and struggled a bit in his studies - until one of his instructors, a no-bullshit woman known only as Loren, set him on the right path and it was Loren's gentle but firm guidance, which was very similar to Seven's when he was growing up, that helped him succeed and then excel in his studies, which was why Citra fell in love with him. It took him a bit of time to reciprocate her feelings for him but as soon as Citra was on the phone with Seven, it was clear as day that Big Sis approved of Lasswell being with Citra. The married pair, who already has a daughter, who they named Michaela, Seven's middle name, were over the moon when Citra announced that she's expecting their second child, a son. Mum and mama would be proud of the man I've become. Sis was so happy when Michaela was named from her middle name. I wonder how she and Sice are doing with the orphanage in Oerba with "Junior" and Enya II... the younger Yun, who's now taller than Seven, mused to himself while thrusting into his wife.
After the married pair climaxed at the same time, the couple have a heartfelt chat about what to name their son. After a few minutes going over possible names, they agreed with naming their son Odin, Seven's childhood horse, who died of old age while protecting Lasswell, Sice and Seven from a vicious attack just outside Neo Oerba along with Kain. Seven was beyond heartbroken that day, which Sice's comfort helped heal her heart. Lasswell, just like he did when he was a toddler, joined in to comfort his older sister. The younger Yun remembered the day that Bahamut died from old age, which was a year before Odin and Kain's deaths. Seven spent the entire day comforting her younger brother as she was fond the beloved cat, even though Bahamut and Lasswell were attached to the hip. It was this trait about the siblings that convinced Citra to be with Lasswell - he was the only boy in the Yun-Farron household, but treated her like his queen. Before Michaela was born, they adopted a cat that claimed the pair as his human. It reminded them both of how Bahamut was when Lasswell and Seven were younger. As soon as the name Bahamut Junior came out their mouths, the cat purred in approval of the name. What surprised them was that BJ, short for Bahamut Junior, is a Miqo'te, and that he came from the same lineage as Bahamut. BJ is VERY protective of Michaela, and Odin when he is welcomed into the world in a few months. Everyone in Oerba will be happy with the news.
Especially Seven and Sice.

Seven and Sice, as soon as they got out of school in Neo Oerba, got married. Both were 18 when they wed, and they're married to this day. Everyone in school knew that the pair have had romantic feelings for each other since shortly after they returned from the six week trip to Oerba. However, neither woman wanted to act on it right away, but it was the support they have from not only Lightning and Fang, but also Celes that convinced the pair to give each other a chance. Their ceremony, because Seven has no Yun blood in her lineage, was held at the house she has called home for so long. Y'shtola was the flower cat, and like Bahamut, she was well behaved considering that she's a cat. Odin walked Seven down the aisle as Sazh, sadly, passed away due to an unknown but acute illness - was Sice stunned with how Odin was at his best behaviour on their day! Dajh officiated their ceremony, which it was Snow Jr., Serah and Snow's youngest son, was the Ring Bearer. The entire ceremony was comparable to Lightning and Fang's, which some would argue that Seven and Sice's ceremony was just as great. Their studies in Orience was a real test on the pair as both got homesick early on in their first semester. It would be the guidance from Kurasame, who himself was new to the nation of Orience, that would help the married pair excel in their studies there and was able to help them get the transfer to Oerba.
Y'shtola, like Bahamut, passed at an old age, but peacefully in her sleep. Sice was beyond depressed that day, which both Seven and Lasswell comforted her as she wept for the cat who was her best friend besides Seven and Lasswell. She was buried in a makeshift grave next to Odin, Kain and Bahamut on Lightning and Fang's property, which Lightning and Fang sold the entire property as soon as Lasswell finished his move to Grandshelt so that the now elderly pair can retire in Oerba just like they mutually wanted to years ago. "Junior", whose real name is Lasswell Jr., was Seven and Sice's first child together. Shortly after getting transferred to Oerba from Rubrum in Orience, they were surprised to find that there were people who wanted to help them start the family they truly desired for themselves, partially because Fang, the leader of the Yun, is a lesbian herself. Fang and Lightning's move to Oerba was, surprisingly, only 11 years after Lightning's first trip to Oerba, which she made sure that the whole family take a summer vacation to Oerba every year since her marriage to Fang was properly recognised by the Yun clan. It was one year after the older pair moved to Oerba to retire that Enya and Lucien passed away, just a few hours apart. Lucien passed away peacefully in his sleep, Enya of a broken heart as she couldn't live without Lucien.
Enya II, Seven and Sice's daughter, came three years after the birth of their son. Like Lasswell and Citra, they too adopted a cat that was from the Miqo'te lineage - Y'shotla II claimed Seven and Sice's family as her humans. Oerba is in an even better state than before under Fang's gentle but firm and fair leadership, which is arguably thanks to Lightning's influence in Oerba. As for Seven and Sice, they decided to leave the Agito Academy four years after being transferred to Oerba and start up an orphanage of their own when their contract expired, as Lightning, Serah and Snow were all orphans growing up, plus Sice was close to being in an orphanage herself if it weren't for Fang and Lightning taking her in when they did. The fact that Lasswell and Seven named their respective kids after each other was a testament to the Yun-Farron family and the legacy that will remain in all of Oerba for all of eternity, for all clans in the village of Oerba will forever remember everything that was done for them thanks to Lightning and Seven's presence and influence - for the simple reason that Claire "Lightning" Farron gave Oerba Yun Fang a second chance of the happy ending Jihl never gave her. It was because of the Farrons that Oerba was deemed the best place to live in all of the world, and it was because of Fang and Lasswell that Lightning and Seven were given the happy ending they yearned for but Rachel took all those years ago.
Y'shtola, Kain, Bahamut and Odin - the lovable animals they were to the Yun-Farron family while they were alive - along with Enya, Lucien and Lady Luck herself... they all smiled down and Fang, Lasswell, Seven and Lightning Yun-Farron from above, for the happy ending was now their reality.
All because they gave each other a chance.
