Fluffy oneshot I wrote back in 2007 when I was 13, posting for nostalgia purposes. Fran and Balthier fall under the Wood's spell, and just for a night, the oppressive storm of war massing on the horizon seems to dissipate.

After a kiss that leaves her lips burning, Lightning finds herself falling rapidly down a rabbit hole of feelings she'd spent her life avoiding. Falling in love with something wild and wicked as the beasts that prowled Pulse was not what she'd had in mind when they'd set out for answers in their quest to discover and complete their focus. Rated M for later chapters.
