Notes
An alternative to canon; it's not sad, but it does feel grim, in the best way. There's an inevitable parallel to nuclear deterrence lurking here.

Notes
AU where canon happened without Balthier's involvement, for a really well-handled reason. This is the fic that made me fall for Basch/Balthier; it's got wonderful prose, so much eloquence and intelligence and great characterisation and sex. Highlights include Nono's dialogue, Ffamran's eventual connection with Larsa, AL-CID/FRAN NO REALLY <3333333, and an always sexual and only gradually emotional relationship between Basch and Ffamran that's played out perfectly.

Rec 1
Summary
Somewhat bored with that comfortable numbness he wears, raiment as thick and unwieldy as the mantle of his duty, you are unremittingly bored with his lack of acknowledgement. You would think the man only wanted you for your ship.

Summary
He looks the boy up and down. He should know the quirk of that eyebrow, that wry curl of lip.

Rec 1
Summary
Shinjiro doesn't really want anyone else to see him and know why he's here, but it would almost be worth it just to watch someone else figure out that the bastard cop is crooked enough to nail street kids half his age.

Rec 5
Summary
After the war, Ashe is preparing to become queen, but there are many treacherous political waters to navigate first: proving her fitness to sit the throne, balancing Dalmascan independence with Empires on either side, settling the question of who will rule Nabradia. Into this situation steps a new ally: Al-Cid Margrace. Al-Cid is dealing with a political morass of his own; although many within Rozarria are relieved to have stayed out of active hostilities, others had hoped to weaken Archadia and expand into new territory for the first time in fifty years -- and chief among the latter faction is the crown prince. Together and separately, Ashe and Al-Cid set out to discover new truths and forge new alliances on their path to a peaceful Ivalice.
And then Balthier reappears, to throw all of Ashe's plans and emotions into disarray.

Summary
Basch’s room is wonderfully warm and smells distantly of smoke and spices, as if the time of year has crept inside.

Summary
Post-Game. Larsa can't decide where his brother ends, and Basch begins. In the wake of Vayne's death, he debates what it means to be a man as taught to him by his brother, and the loyalty he commands now as Emperor. For one night Larsa explores the manhood proper he is entering into, and he releases his "hound" from his leash. Basch refuses to be considered as such, but it has been a long time since anything has tempted him like this.
-
Summary
In a world where advanced mechanics and firepower rub elbows with high magic and ancient relics, Zolf Kimberly has built the Crimson Flames into the best mercenary company east of Archadia. Combining infantry with elemental black magic, the Flames are versatile, professional, highly effective, and willing to ground your enemy to dust for the right price. This is the tale of the Crimson Flames and their devious Captain, whose tendency to gather what others throw away reaps him a larger reward than he ever expected.
