Oh, man. I was never entirely sure how this part went, but I like this about a billion times more than any half-formed, vague ideas that I had. I love how playful they are, and how Vanille can keep yapping away after sex, even when Fang's replies are limited to “mmn.” The ending is surprisingly sweet, and you can tell how much they love one another, despite talking about having sex with someone else.

Very enjoyable! (Oh, and you could crosspost this to oerbas, if you want to.)

Thanks! That's really great praise, especially since it was your fics that put me firmly on this pairing. I haven't read the novel yet, so probably as much of the characterization for these two comes from your stories as from the game itself. Especially "And Again", which totally makes me smile. Yeah, Vanille's definitely a yapper :D

PS thanks for the tip, will definitely crosspost. This fandom must be encouraged!

I've only recently been able to start my first playthrough of the game, so please pardon my lack of knowledge, but what is this novel you speak of? I'm sure it's some amazingly great Japanese thing that I have no access to as a mere English/semi other language speaking person, but I am curious none the less, especially if there is more Fang/Vanille to be found.

Oh, and in more related news, you and this story rock. That is all :D

Hi there, the novel is a Japanese light novel set before the game, covering the main characters. You can read the English translation (in progress) here.

Chapters "Stranger" and "Search" are about Fang and Vanille. Also the last chapter, which hasn't been translated yet. Enjoy!

oh wow. nice job nomakegirl!

definitely a real nice addition to sunbreaksdown's fic. it captures vanille's playful personality quite well.. and i've always thought of her as the "innocent, not really" type :P

and i love how you characterized fang nicely as well. i really like the ending where fang says she always wanted to do lightning :P. i can definitely see fang saying/doing that :P

as sunbreaksdown said, you can definitely tell how much they love each other even when they're talking about a delicious 3some with our lovely lightning :P

nice job <3

[nomakegirl]

hahah, thanks Setenshi!

About Fang, yeah when she met up with Lightning the first time, I was like, Yep, Fang'd tap that. Well, maybe that's coz Fang's the sexiest thing in FF since, uh, forever. But the way she zoomed in on Lighting's L'Cie mark certainly raised my eyebrows. Looking at the video she must've just bent over and upzipped her in 0.5 secs flat. How the heck did she even know it was there?!

...

hmm... there's fodder for another fic there :P

God I love this fandom.

[setenshi]

<3 fang is the sexiest thing since.. well sex as said by tvtropes.com lolol

and yeah she got along with lightning quite quickly... and even lighto san was unable to resist fang's charming ways. (i.e. letting her see her chest lol)

oh fang didnt even need to zip lightning. if you look closely, when fang starts talking about the l'cie mark, lightning unzips her shirt/jacket herself. then fang just turns her around in .2 seconds flat <3 :P

i love this fandom too. <3

[nomakegirl]

what, really? *runs off to check youtube* By golly you're right!
Why didn't I notice that before. She even lets Fang kinda stare and the chat for a while before (slowly? reluctantly? :D ) zipping up.

I wish SE let us rewatch all the cut scenes and movies upon completion of game.

Very nice extended story from sunbreakdown's one. :D
I quietly surprised you can write a whole story in
a similar tone as the original, that make it more reasonable
and believable. I give you 10 points of 10. ;)

Keep up good work. Cheers.

Hi, it's all thanks to the great work sunbreaksdown put into setting up the scenario and writing the story. I for one never expected such a quality Fang/Vanille/Light fic (wish for, perhaps, but certainly not expect!).

The setup is brilliant and Lightning's characterization was so much fun. Then there were the little points that really fleshed out everyone, such as:

- “Well?” Fang asks, and this time, it's definitely annoyance in her voice.

- Fang's back on her feet, standing in front of her, with a look across her face that might be apologetic

and of course

- “It was my idea!” Vanille informs her cheerfully

:D

[setenshi]

:D i like that it was her idea ;D
