Author's Note: Hi, I'm back. Plenty explicit this time. If it wasn't clear how the prompt tied in, I was going with the curse of the l'Cie-ifying.

She promised Vanille that they’d have a life after the war. She held the other girl’s hair back when she threw up before battle, and she pulled the redhead tight against her aching body, and she told her what would happen. They’d be free, she said. They could sleep together in the open fields without feeling Cocoon shining balefully down on them. They’d grow old together and fascinate all the kids in the village with their war stories.
And now they’re heroes, and Fang’s promises are broken for her.
She kisses Vanille’s mark and tries not to think about it.
