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 )
