GUH yes, the fact that this is just so very possible is kind of a punch in the guts. And while Ivalice Alliance world consoles me with glimpses of things working out fairly well (at least for Vaan and Penelo), it doesn't take away the fact that it is not.... well, you know.

I kind of always sitting in a see-saw about Ashe, on one hand she has lost so much, is so bitter (deservingly so, however), but on the other she is also probably the worse kind of royalty to put on the throne.

But Larsa... (weeps) is too tragic for anymore words.

Lovely work from you, I enjoy reading it (hurts the way well written tragedy does).

Aw, I'm glad you enjoyed it, even if it's painful. Writing the Larsa bits made me tear up a little, as well, since he's one of the characters I came to care about. Poor kid. I felt putting him on the throne was like a doom spell ( ... )
