FFXII Fic: Caliber of Consequences, Chapter 1: Penelo (Larsa/Penelo, Basch; Co-Author: Moontear)
I know I’ve been away for quite a spell, carousing and grousing about town with my special guest and neglecting my very gracious f-list… but I do hope you’ll all forgive me for that soon enough. I’ve spent much of my time either accompanying that special guest to tedious dinner parties or tearing my hair out while trying to do special projects. In

And feedback! Yes! Thank you for giving this during such a number-crunch of a time period, dearest. And I need to sending you an email about our sekrit project. Oh god, it sucks we missed out on the April 4th deadline, however. But ah well... it'll be fun no matter what the date. ;)
a) Heh... it's true, this Penelo has far more of a rough edge than most of the others I tended to write. She's rather like every femme fatale that ever strolled across a noir screen... only with the ability to do her own dirty work. And I love love love what you have to say about Penelo going out of her way to establish herself as one tough cookie. I'd imagine (at least from Fran's demeanor) that the traditional work ethic of twice-as-hard-for-half-the-credit prevails as much among lady sky pirates as among (say) women executives in modern day America. She probably had to be far tougher than any of the men she runs around with to be taken seriously, no?
And if her way of being tougher is to also stretch sexual boundaries... well, that's sort of the traditional femme fatale in her coming out!
b) Hee! God, I love that scene between Basch and Penelo, if only for that rare glimpse of someone actually flustering Captain Basch fon Stoic. I rather think that time in Archades has also matured Basch in some ways-- or, possibly, jaded him even more than he already had been by a very hard-knock life. I'd actually love to play around with this dynamic some more... but you know me. I do love my L/P OTP the best. ;)
c) I absolutely cannot disagree with you there!
