Seriously wow, I don't even know how a fic that is entirely about eyeball licking can be either so interesting or so, erm, romantic. What am I reading.

This is one of those great emotional fics that reminds me why this is my go-to pairing for watching pretty boys angst in the face of delicious dramatic irony.

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.

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.
