Final Fantasy XII (Ashe/Rasler/Basch)

Jul 03, 2007 06:02

Title: Whisper
Author/Artist: Laylah
Rating: PG-13 for spooky
Word count: 984
Summary: Ashe has so many ghosts in her life. It seems cruel of the fates to confront her only with this one.
A/N: I...I'm terribly sorry this isn't darker. Basch makes the face and I turn into a big mushball. I hope you can still enjoy it.

( Whisper )

You're 100% sure who made this prompt.

It is refreshing, to see a more hopeful take on this, to treat the shared perception of Rasler as not begrudging but welcoming... It is spooky, but it's also very yielding, very welcome, and that must have been a fun atmosphere to play with.

I do like this, don't worry. ::smile:: So many awesome images, and so faithful to all three characters concerned. And your elegant, twining, damned manipulative prose. How could I NOT like it?

Gah, the image of Rasler, so jealous of them both, like a child here. Just wonderful.

*grin* there was indeed very little doubt. ^^

I'm so relieved that you liked it -- it would have been so hard to give them more misery, after all they've been through. And -- purr. To have you compliment my language, when you're so very skilled in that arena yourself -- high praise! ♥

He is a bit of a child, isn't he? He -- it really struck me, playing the beginning again this week, how young he is, how impulsive. So much confidence, and yet a lot of it is the teenage "I'm invincible!" sort, I think.

!! Oh man this is wonderful. I, too, like the hopeful take on it, and the fact that the REAL ghost still looks like he did when he died. And that the ghost doesn't come just to look, but because he wants to recapture just a bit of being human by crawling between them. So tender and creepy!

Thank you! The image of him like that, with the arrow still stuck there, just -- er, it would be terrible to say it haunted me, wouldn't it? yes. let's not do that. ^^;

D: Rasler! Not fair, game. *pout*

This was haunting and gorgeous.

Aaw, thank you! ^^
I really liked that idea -- that he should be a ghost as he died, and that Ashe wouldn't have seen him before the funeral, and. yeah. poor everyone.

...I think probably they sit up with him all night, and tell him about how things are going in Dalmasca/Nabradia now, and tell him how much they miss him. woob.
