[Recommendation] Final Fantasy IV
In Darkness and Regret, by 
rushlight75. Kain/Cecil, worksafe. Author's summary: Being honest with yourself is the first step toward true happiness, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can get there from here.
Okay. So I'm not particularly a Kain/Cecil person. I'm not opposed, I'm just not as excited by it as I am by Edge/Rydia or Kain->Rosa, or Kain/Valvalicia.
I really loved this fic. It was actually a little bit disconcerting, because it felt a lot like reading something I had written. There's a really good understanding of the things that drive Kain to do what he does, and the story flows beautifully. I love the characters' voices, and one of the things that particularly stood out to me was the contradictory nature of Kain's feelings toward Golbez.
In a word, hello shiny.
