Partners Lightning and Caius like to be rough when it comes to who is the dominant one in their relationship. Unable to deny their physical attractions to one another, sometimes the most unlikely locations become a battlefield to their game. And Lightning isn't one to like being backed into a corner by her sly partner...though maybe she secretly does like it?
(AU) Serah and Noel saved the future. Now, with the whole party reunited, they must readjust to the new world they live in, get used to living a civilized life again, and face new hardships along the way. Events of Lightning Returns DOES NOT happen. Rated T for smoking/drinking, cursing, attempted suicide, blood/violence, and mild sexuality.
A short insight of what happens in the weeks prior to Lightning's return.
Lightning reunites with her main squeeze from centuries ago. The two lovers pick up right where they started. This is a Flight Yuri story. Sadly, I do not own any of the characters in the story.
"He's playing with us, Hope. We need to get out of here. We need to wake up, and this is the only way." Inception-inspired post-LR fic.
Snow couldn't remember the last time he went out of his palace. So when Light comes in, smash in and him into common sense, he wants to thank her before the world ends with dinner. And when she comes wearing that dress she wore to smash her way in, he couldn't believe the fact she knew how to walk in such high heels. But that wasn't what the dinner was really about. SnowxLightning
A collection of Hope/Light oneshots, mainly set post-LR. Contains much silliness. #5: Alyssa is a stalker
Hope convinces Claire to go parachuting. "Fine. But if something happens, I am fighting my way out of the Chaos again and coming back to haunt your ass." [post-LR, fluff.]
Can a promise still be kept over a millennium? A fractured soul's quest to retrieve humanity from the Chaos. The heart of a hunter grows ever larger. Direct sequel to "Into the Blinding Light" SPOILERS/Ending through post game. Making it how I wanted it to be. Expect the rating to go up in later chapters. FLight!@!
She dreams of space and being surrounded by a sea of stars. "We never stopped being something more than human, Light. Even after we were reborn. I guess killing a God does that to you." [post LR, Hope/Lightning, inspired by Hoperai week on tumblr and the prompt 'space'; drabbleish.]
She lingers in their hearts even when the SoulSong said she should be dead. But with her remaining strength she reaches out to three people she cares for before saying goodbye. She wanted them to live in peace even if it meant she wouldn't be remembered by them anymore, but what the mind forgets the heart does not. Some Noerah and some Slight (SnowxLight)
Caius Ballad sat on his eternal throne; the smug victory over the warrior goddess had long since grown stale. He had watched his once happy and vibrant Yeul—the only happy and vibrant Yeul, the last of them—wilt underneath the sorrow. Her slight frame could no longer bear the pain of the centuries, the heaviness of two broken heart, and the unsatisfied longing in her soul.
Serah and her friends end up in Storybrooke in mysterious circumstances. It appears that the god of the old world is still at large, but is it true? Also, Marian is in town and blocks Regina's path to her happiness.
It has been two thousand years, and Yeul is finally - for the first time, the only time - eighteen. [Noel/Yeul, post-game]
A single choice can change everything. Lightning sets out to save the people for a new world, but when she accepts the one who destroyed the world as her reluctant ally, secrets are revealed sooner, feelings change, hearts are bared, and the future is unrecognizable as everything she thought would be is suddenly torn away. ["what if" fic]
My novelization of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Because of the short nature of the story, I was able to novelize this where a novelization of the other two games might take a bit longer. I include a prologue to catch people up but presumably if you are reading this novelization you are familiar with the trilogy. I aim to be true to the game as possible. Hope you enjoy.
This is my own version of what I expect to happen after Lightning get off the train. HxL eventually.
Because he had stayed by her side from the very beginning. Just because it was a new world, doesn't mean he left.
Late at night in the bowels of the Warren, the Shadow Hunter is often visited by dreams of his special girl—his seeress, his love, his Yeul. He will see her again, but for now—he thinks—his dreams will have to be enough.
Lumina has been living in the Void Beyond for as long as she can remember. She was always lonely, her only friends were the Chaos and her monsters. She likes toying with mere mortals, to feel happy. She keeps having those dreams about a boy. That boy is looking for her. Will he find her? Will she remember him? She's living in her Void Beyond...
It has been three years after Lightning and her friends defeated Bhunivelze, and she has finally begun a normal life in the new world. But when Caius Ballad, the man responsible for the destruction of the old world, appears as if from nowhere, with no memory of Lightning or anything he had done, Lightning has no other choice but to watch over him.
"Whenever she (Lightning) saw something extremely big and and scary and felt completely defenseless and had no idea what she was going to do… she simply said, 'Right.'"
Alternate ending of Lightning Returns.
On that sunny winter day Hope's most cherished dream had finally come true. He became a husband of the legendary maiden, whom he dreamed about for long years, and whom he never ceased to love, no matter what the difficult life circumstances were.
After awakening in the new world, Lightning and the others embark on what they hope will be a relatively uneventful final journey - making their way to a normal life. Unfortunately, things aren't shaping up to be quite as easy as they had hoped. (Rating for later chapters and some sporadic, more colorful language.)
Storm has a focus different then the others. His focus is to protect those he travels with. But what happens when they go their separate ways. Storm has a choice in the end. Die and protect them or live and turn into a Cie'th. Which will he chose.
Now that they had finally run out of enemies to fight, Hope was seeing a whole new side of Lightning. The side that enjoyed taking naps on his couch. Post-LR. HxL
Lightning arrives in the New World but finds that she's all alone. Slightly AU.
A collection of one-shot requests I took on Tumblr featuring Noel & Snow. Content is Pre & Post LR AU. First one-shot is to be posted on AO3 due to content.
Set after Lightning Returns. Serah deals with the guilt of having once been willing to sacrifice Alyssa and Yeul's lives for the greater good, as well as remnants of her Seeress abilities. Snow/Serah. Serah character study.
