Fandom: Final Fantasy X
Pairing: Auron x Lulu
Theme set: Set Epsilon
Rating: PG or PG-13...depends.
01 motion
Everyone had a flow - bubbly, excitable, pensive, defiant…but he was unmovable and firm, like a rock anchored to a riverbed.
02 cool
“It makes me look cool,” Was Auron’s blunt response to Lulu’s amused inquiry about his sunglasses.
03 young
Nobody knew the hours she spent in the darkness, watching Braska’s spheres over and over to memorize him as he was ten years ago…when he was still alive.
04 last
It was an unspoken agreement that the two wisest Guardians would take the rear, but it was also their private unspoken agreement to walk in sync, step for step, stride for stride.
05 wrong
It was rare for Auron to make a mistake, and it was even more rare for Lulu to let him walk away with it.
06 gentle
Masamune was familiar with his calloused grip, but Lulu was familiar with his gentle caress.
07 one
A single digit was held up when he asked her how many had she loved and lost, and he remarked that she was lucky to have so few.
08 thousand
As he faded in a shimmer of pyreflies she held her head high, her saddened smile saying a thousand words that she could not say out loud.
09 king
Wherever he walked, people bowed at his feet in awe, and with him, she felt like a queen.
10 learn
Despite his reliance on physical strength, Lulu discovered that Auron could cast a pretty nasty Ultima when the need arose.
11 blur
He loved to watch her when she was in a fury - she was a beautiful blur of magic as she hurled one spell after another at a poor Behemoth.
12 wait
Others thought it was a misfortune for her to catch a fatal disease at such a young age, but all she could think of was: Better this way, I don’t want him to wait too long..
13 change
Lulu couldn’t tell when it happened - from the monosyllabic Auron to the dry-humor Auron, but she loved them both all the same.
14 command
Lulu waited until Auron had paralyzed the fiend with fear before snapping her fingers at his unspoken command and burning the fiend to a crisp.
15 hold
Mount Gagazet was unforgiving to its visitors, as they trekked up its treacherous slopes she never let go of his hand.
16 need
In the end it was a question of practicality - it just pained her that the one she loved and the one she married could not be the same person.
17 vision
Lulu was very very careful not to get drunk, because when she does she might mistake anyone for the long-gone Auron and that, would be disastrous.
18 attention
Kimahri noticed that Lulu’s braids were impossibly neat during their long journey, but it wasn’t until he stumbled across Lulu and Auron sitting quietly in a grove of trees did he discover why - two pairs of loving hands are better than one.
19 soul
Even though it was a useless practice, she still liked to visit the Farplane and pray for his soul.
20 picture
In a moment of idyllic peace, Lulu attempted to draw Auron’s face in the sand before he caught her and remarked that she drew his ears too big.
21 fool
Her heart berated her for betraying Chappu, but she didn’t think loving Auron made her an idiot.
22 mad
The Eternal Clam nearly drove her crazy in the beginning, because she was all alone and there was nothing worth doing anymore…not without him.
23 child
She named her newborn Vidina, because naming him ‘Auron’ would surely give her secret away.
24 now
Revelation after shocking revelation made her skeptical of the future, and upon his advice she decided to think of only the here and now.
25 shadow
Kimahri prayed to Yevon that the two up on the tree wouldn’t fall down, because he was having a hard time hiding their moonlit shadows on the ground from the others as it is.
26 goodbye
No words, no tears, just one promise; “Wait for me.”
27 hide
In a way, Rikku thinks that Auron and Lulu are doing an excellent job at hiding their relationship… if it even exists.
28 fortune
Lulu never considered herself a particularly lucky woman, but every time Auron did something gentlemanly, she felt fortunate…yes, very fortunate indeed.
29 safe
She never had to worry about anything since that day, but mo matter what she did, she still remembered that the safest haven was in his arms.
30 ghost
Sudden bouts of nostalgia would seize her and she would clutch a handful of ice, remembering the times when she would freeze the enemies and he would shatter them with his powerful swings.
31 book
Even when night is slipped to early morning, Lulu was still awake, poring through the scrolls that she had brought along, testing her magic against a certain swordsman’s hefty blade.
32 eye
He bore the scar on his eye with dignity, covering it with sunglasses; she wore the scar in her heart with regret, hiding behind a dark fringe.
33 never
A thousand words had never passed between them, yet among the very few they exchanged, ‘never’ was not one of them.
34 sing
It was a tune they knew well - the low baritone rush of magic surrounding Lulu, the light staccato tinkles of a Blizzaga spell, the howls of a dying fiend as Auron’s sword pierced its scaly hide - the heady music of battle.
35 sudden
He entered her life with stark brusqueness and left equally suddenly, without even a goodbye.
36 stop
Right then Slowga wasn’t enough - she wanted more that anything to stop time, to stop him from leaving in a flurry of pyreflies.
37 time
The strong wish to cast Slowga on their entire journey was heightened whenever he cast a meaningful glance at her, sending shivers down her spine.
38 wash
She noticed that he let no one else handle his red overcoat, instead he would prefer her to cast Water to cleanse it.
39 torn
Lulu spend many nights pondering affairs of the heart, wondering if it was right to love Auron when she was on a journey of vengeance for Chappu.
40 history
A mother she was, but Lulu took it upon herself to rewrite Spira’s clouded history - especially concerning the Legendary Guardian.
41 power
A mana-depleted mage might not sound scary, but Auron found reason to fear when Lulu viciously delivered a K.O. punch to a Dark Flan when it Osmose-d all her magic.
42 bother
She never waits for the fiend to scream whenever she cast it in ice, he never waits for the ice to melt before smashing it to a million pieces, they never bother to turn around and look at their handiwork, flawless as it maybe.
43 god
The faith of a lifetime was shattered in a few months’ journey, but her faith in him during the short duration would last her till the end.
44 wall
It didn’t matter who lost what to who, the point is the wound will take too long to heal, so they hide behind a fringe of hair or dark sunglasses.
45 naked
“Wh- Auron! I wasn’t peeking at her!” Tidus protested when Auron cast Darkness on him, preventing him from peeking at Yuna and Lulu emerge from the hot spring.
46 drive
When Lulu came to, nobody dared tell her that Auron went into Overdrive after seeing her being mauled by the (unfortunate) Behemoth.
47 harm
Lulu thinks that the phrase ‘Guard your emotions, then guard your summoner’ should be amended to ‘Guard the black mage, then guard the summoner’ in Auron’s case.
48 precious
Lulu had nothing of his to remember him by, but the memories of their short time together was more than enough to sustain her for life.
49 hunger
Lulu hoped that the look Auron gave her as he licked gravy off his fingers wasn’t what she thought it was, because she thinks he himself looks good enough to eat.
50 believe
As Auron vanishes, Lulu sheds not a tear, believing in his words whispered the night before; “We will meet again Lulu… trust me.”
