FFXII Ficlet: Heaven or the Nebra (Basch, Penelo, Larsa) (Knots, Ties and Tides Omake)

[mariagoner]

If you haven't already had the chance, might I suggest checking out the entirely freaking awesome wet!naked!Basch drabble-fest going on? If you've been having a week as totally awful as mine (El Diablo Statistico is currently killing me dead... argh...), this'll really help and even if not... hell. When is the thought of Basch being wet and naked

Naked Basch = love; Naked Larsa... your icon is *perfect* for this story.

[mariagoner]

Yeah-- this is like Sophie's choice for Penelo. Does she watch Basch frolic in the near-nude and risk scarring herself with Larsa? Or does she immediately curl up into a fetal ball and miss out on her last sight of nearly nekkid fon Ronsenberg flesh?!

Oh, decisions, decisions. ::sigh::

[vieralynn]

Or does she just curl up and hide her face in her hands ... and then conveniently enjoy the good nekkid views while using her fingers to block out the OMG MAKE IT STOP scrawny little nekkid horror.

I can see the comedy: Peeking through her fingers at something that makes her melt into a puddle and then *BAM* it's a full on view of might-as-well-be-completely-nekkid Larsa jumping around in the water just in front of her. AAaaaaaaaaaAAAaaaaaaaaggghghghghghghg. XD

[mariagoner]

Oooooooh, Penelo! And if she thinks she has it bad now... chapter 13 will also have Balthier. And you know just how tactful he is when it comes to situations like this, don't you? XD

Penelo's going to be lucky if she doesn't end up scarred for life. But then-- considering the fact that she's about to end up with the Scariest In-Laws Ever, she'll be lucky if she doesn't end up gibbering with crazy by the time she turns 17!

When El Diablo Statistico is killing you dead, there is always this prompt. ;)

nekkid!wet!Basch & Math

[mariagoner]

Oh God, I just did that. And the one for apologies, which involves public nudity. Oh god, I am so ashamed of myself here!

[safire_griffon]

The icon has never been more appopriate! XD XD XD Oh, Larsa. In a comparisson between scrawny twelve-year-old and very fit 36-year-old...wait, that's not a comparisson at all. If you weren't gonna be stuck marrying said twelve-year-old, I'd say look anyway, and try to block the twelve-year-old out of your memory. But since you're gonna be stuck with twelve-year-old for quite some time....it might be better for your sanity not to look, Penelo.

...Vossler is trying to keep Penelo between himself and Larsa so as to keep the scrawny Archadian out of his line of sight while he checks out Basch.

On a (almost) stylistic note, I like how the serious bittersweet memory contrasts with the absolutely hilarious ending. :D

[mariagoner]

My god, considering all that I've got planned for Penelo in the future, she'll be lucky if she doesn't end up gibbering away in a madhouse at the tender age of 17. If you think Larsa's hard to block out... XD XD XD

And go Vossler! Though I say he should strip as well and give poor Penelo a 2/3-- instead of just 1/2-- chance of seeing something actually appealing!

Also, I apparently can't get away from the weirdly sad undercurrents of Knots. Isn't that absolutely insane?

(Also, are you on AIM now? Can I tackle you, dear?)

[safire_griffon]

I am indeed, and yes you may. ;D

[mariagoner]

Oh, yay! ♥

[night_is_fallen]

Oh, I have so much love for this one! Poor Penelo! Just when she thought things were going so well! XD

And yes, Larsa, maybe you should've thought that one out a bit beforehand. Comparisons ... there are probably not many, not at that stage, any way. LMAO

Poor kid.

[mariagoner]

Unfortunately, I can never let things go well for Penelo for too long. Though it's not all my fault-- if watching her suffer wasn't comedy gold, I'd do it far less frequently! ;)

And there are plenty of comparisons you can make between the site of wet, half-nekkid Basch and Larsa! Sadly, the comparison mostly bounces between 'mouth watering' and 'utterly and completely mind scarring.' Too bad Larsa hasn't quite gotten that yet.

Poor kid indeed. XD

[night_is_fallen]

Larsa and that overly-inflated Solidor ego. Thinking he, at twelve, compares to the ever-luscious Captain Basch. ;)

I mean ... just no. Larsa, lots of love, but no.

[mariagoner]

To be fair to the poor kid, Penelo did call him a pretty boy in the last chapter of Knots. It's just that... pretty at age 12 is NOT gorgeous at age 36. He forgot that, sadly. XD

[denglongfist]

Everybody has said this, the icon is perfect. Apparently Penelo's description and Larsa's adventurous spirit are great as well.

[mariagoner]

Sometimes, I rather fear that Larsa's prone to getting a little too dangerous. But then-- he just finished giving Penelo rug burn of the face. Too much? ;)

[denglongfist]

Do I think it is interesting?

Hell yeah XD

Of course, to Larsa, the prosper of a living Utopia is driving him to the edge of total and utter craziness. I can;t wait for your other ideas XD

[mariagoner]

Oh, Larsa was doomed to be totally Solidor crazy from the get-go. The saddest thing is that he's dragging Penelo in with him here!
