Ellone’s romantic and sensual thoughts on Laguna. Post-game obviously.

Squall wants to stop thinking. He asks Irvine for a distraction, and gets more than just to stop thinking. He gets to rest. [IrvinexSquall drabble, author makes no apologies.]

But there is a cruel twist of irony in this gift! My beauty is fueled by my loneliness, and one day this fuel may burn me alive. / My loneliness radiates from my body like perfume. My loneliness gives me the air of festive tragedy. My loneliness has shaped me into the wistful honey-belle that I am today. / I am beautiful and I am wrinkled. / I am thirty-eight years old.

Raine deserved all this, and yet he couldn't give it to her. He hopes she forgives him, if he's thinking of his selfish guilt when their son looks so deliriously in love. He hopes she can understand him, if amidst all the tenderness and the pride for the happy couple, there's also a pang of regret for what could have been, what should have been.

Squall's always enjoyed the cold and winter. It's how he found Shiva. Shiva blesses him with all the beauty and power she wields.

A pardon doesn't promise reintegration. Quistis finally gets around to returning Hyperion and gets more than she bargained for. Language.

The passionate, ardent love his destiny apparently had in store for him would not come true. It couldn't. He wouldn't let it come true. The brown doe eyes looking at him could draw him in if he wasn't careful enough. But he had spent years perfecting the craft of indifference and independence, and a pair of eyes, fine as they may be, would not make his defenses crumble.

Part story-part technical manual. Takes place 10 years after time compression, charting how each nation grows and adapts after the Second Sorceress War. Some Squinoa for now, maybe a few other pairings as time goes on.

Three hours later, he wonders if letting her chant fun fun fun all night would really have been worse than what he's doing right now.

Murder bankroll is where life is at: Seifer gets to see a different side of Quistis and it isn't the first time.
