As the title suggests, Final Fantasy XII seen through a number of literary tropes and idioms. Five-Man Band... That Are Seven: "The Five-Man Band is a group of characters whose members fall into archetypes which all complement each other. They are very a very specific team with skills that contribute to the group in a unique way." Yeah, right.

Centered on Basch and Noah fon Ronsenburg with generous looks back at their childhood. Set directly after Final Fantasy XII with the twist that even death has abandoned Noah. Basch wears the mantle of Gabranth as protector of a threatened peace. Larsa, Zargabaath, Ashe, OCs. Because death is just the easy way out: Endure. Because a warrior must have something to endure for: Hope.

Katniss and Peeta in the weeks and months after the war.

Sound really carries in small, echo-y spaces. This, on top of the cramping, heat, and awkward positioning, can make things pretty...uncomfortable, but it's not all bad. Sometimes closeness is all it takes to get things running again.

Shepard is the first person who Jack has ever been able to trust to watch her back. Rated M for language and some violence.

The premise - Female Wardens are required to undergo an additional ritual as part of the Joining, and there are side effects of to the taint. Moving into Awakening, what this means for Velenna & Sigrun.
