Whee, FIC.

[lassarina]

Finally, finally, the toppy!Ashe fic came together.

Too Soon the Sun Rises

NC-17, FF12, Balthier/Ashe. 2150 words. Endgame spoilers, with bonus porn. Regardless of aught else that befalls, they will still have this.

Eeeeee, crossing things off the ficlist of doom!

Thank you. :)

Considering how much I read them, i can't very well turn my nose up at writing them...

But the problem is that there are certain expectations for that genre which I do not do well at; witness the fact that the portion of this fic which caused its rating (which I believe is less than a page) took me four months to write.

Ooh, you've gotten even better since I've been away.

I loved all the great little details in this fic, from the magicite panel to Rasler's rings to Balthier's clever tongue. (That whole section was hot, btw. Your struggles were not in vain...!) The overall narrative was really good, too, and really felt fitting for Ashe. Balthier was rather fitting as well, even (especially?) when he lost his just-laundered shirt.

Ashe sprang off the settee and spun to her left, reaching automatically for a sword she was not wearing.

Another line I've read lately that I feel like I shouldn't enjoy nearly as much as I do. Am I really that easy to please? Or am I just taking it for granted now how good you guys are?

Finally, on a possibly related note: "Why, Ashe," he said, "did you miss me?" - I outright laughed.

Neeeee, thank you! *rolls happily in praise*

I'm really glad you liked it, and I'm so glad that those lines stood out, because I felt like they were rather key to the narrative.

Thank you so much both for reading, and for the wonderful comments! It's actually funny that you mention "while [you]'ve been away," because oddly enough I've not collected anything I wrote in the past 9 months into my ficjournal, so you'll actually see links for those going up in the next week or so :)
