Fandom: FF8
Characters/Pairings: Quistis/Laguna, implied Squall/Rinoa
Rating: PG-13
Summary: What do you do when you're a pawn to the rise of an empire? If you're Laguna, you look for the happy part. Part of the Empire arc.

Notes: I know, I like May/December, so shoot me, they're probably closer in maturity than most I like. This was actually a joy to write, because it was some crazyfuck governmental stuff from the perspective of a good guy. This is not something I get to do often. But since I've been RPing him, I think I've got a decent voice, even if due to circumstance he's a bit more subdued than usual. And I finally get to explain the start of the Empire! Yay! The title is more of the 'hey guess the song lyric' that all the other titles in this arc have, so why break tradition? And I love this song a lot.

it's simple if you take out the assassinations and intrigue and empires )
Fandom: FFVIII
Characters/Pairings: Quistis, Rinoa, Irvine
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Quistis is a General of the Empire now, even if her reasons are less than martial.

Notes: Well, I managed to eek out another one-shot in the Empire arc, and it's been... god a long time. I really like Quistis most when she's big sisterly, so that probably colored this a lot, as well as attempted to advance the general "plot" which really works backwards, if you think about it. Since, ah, the last time I worked on any of these stories was freaking 2007, I'll link to the other ones in the arc, since this was references both of them: Perfect Color Me, and Choke Until I Swallow. I'll prolly do another Quistis POV one because this one was shorter, plus it's fun?
