FFXII Fic: Sting Bite

[aorin]

While I might be horribly unproductive and a sloth, other people in the fandom surely isn't. Three of my four prompts have been answered by four fics and all of them are so wonderfully written XD What can I say, my lucky stars must have been shinning brightly over my head that week. My hidden cravings for Noah/Penelo had somehow been answered and

Hee! Oh, this is so cute. And Penelo. And Basch's tender actions. And her adorably confused reply. I am slain by the sweetness here! ♥

[aorin]

Glad you enjoyed ;)

Poor Penelo, she has to suffer even when she's experiencing something so wonderful XD And Basch, this man really needs to find time to self-reflect on all his practical actions, and realise what can of damage it might lead to :D

Luckily, I tend to write Penelo being shy and confused instead of predatory, if not, Basch might just return to find Penelo enjoyably sucking the finger wound...

[navi_glow]

Aw ♥ so sweet!

[aorin]

Thanks for reading ;)

Well, things might not be so sweet when Basch finds 6 pairs of bleeding hands thrust at his face, waiting to be disinfected by him XD

Also, would you mind if I friend you to keep up with your fic, Valley of the Dead? Also, which account would you prefer me to friend, this one or your fic journal? :)

[navi_glow]

Ooh yay I'm glad you replied. I was thinking of this fic and wishing I'd saved it but couldn't remember who posted it! *headdesk* Saving it now ^^

haha! <3

Of course I wouldn't mind!! *hugs* I'm really glad your reading it! You should friend dusk_shard because I don't post any fics in navi_glow XD

[aorin]

Oh... maybe I should try to write more, then I won't be such a forgettable figure XD Not the first time it happened to me XP

Ok, friended ;) And yes, I'm reading and trying very hard to keep up with you. I don't know how you all do it, being able to update so much and constantly in such a short span of time T__T Why can't I do the same!? X3

Adorable! I love how Basch is so forthright and practical and never thinks that a handsome man suckling on a teenager's finger might make Penelo fluttery. ^.^

[aorin]

Basch's practical lifestyle and equal treatment probably makes it very difficult for him to have a proper relationship XP I don't know if Basch ever understood the true power of his hidden charms XD

[demonas_rogue]

This was perfect.

I agree with gunshou that the best part was Basch's practical nature that did not allow him to see that Penelo was suffering from a "crush moment".

Oh, to be young and silly again. :D

[aorin]

Thanks for reading ;)

Basch just seem so dense in the "romance" department, something the military akademy never taught him, perhaps? ;) I'm sure he believes that it is very natural for a handsome man to help a young girl disinfect her finger, just a gentlemanly gesture XD

I can imagine the whole party racing towards Penelo and help her remove all those Cactuar needles, only to prick themselves accidently, and rush back to Basch for medical aid ;D

Aww, that was so cute x3 Sucking on her fingers, almost reminded me of how a father would heal his daughter's injury, but it's just like of Basch's nature, to be very tender. Sweet fic!

[aorin]

My father wouldn't suck my finger, but I do remember him blowing on my swollen finger when I stupidly, clumsily closed the door on my own hand X3 God that was so painful ::shivers:: Ouch!!

I see Basch as being overly practical to the extent that sometimes he doesn't realise what his "actions" might cause ;) It's his nature, he's too dense in the romance department XD Why do you think Ashe is so frustrated over him, because Basch simply doesn't get it ;) Though, princess Ashe gets special treatment compared to the rest XD

[crazy18gurl]

Lol, ya know I'm suddenly reminded, whenever I get a small lil injury, a cut or anythin like that, my dad will give it full attention, but if it's like a big injury, he'll be like 'Oh no, don't worry it'll get better.' and then he goes back to doing whatever he was doing xD i get his full attention when i whack him the head or shout in his ear and he'll be like "Oh my God! What happened?! What did you do to my daugther?!?" xD

Lol, it's so him. Haha, yeah he's her known personal knight in shinning armor xD

[aorin]

I, I, I suddenly feel pity for your poor father XD Hmm... my dad is not the type to show affections openly, the only time we have bodily contact is when he slap me across the face XP (my fault, I normally deserve it :P), but I'll never hurt him physically, my poor dad probably couldn't handle the physical assault XD

He's a knight, that's for sure, he'll just have to polish his armour that's all ;) And maybe, finally conduct an affair with the queen, like all famous knights do XP
