    Summary

    After yet another harrowing brush with supernatural threats, it's determined that Soma Cruz will be put under the direct surveillance of Genya Arikado - and that means he'll have to live with mysterious and intimidating agent for the foreseeable future. It's not the easiest arrangement for either, but Arikado could benefit from some company and Soma is more than a little curious about his reclusive acquaintance.

    A frayed bond soaked in centuries of blood and tears is given a second chance.
    Its existence still unknown to one, and terrifyingly clear to the other.

    Summary

    Clive had left the Hideaway a month ago sniping about Cid's stupid little shortcuts, and he had returned to a broken encampment on the edge of survival with Cid's power in his hands, a poor substitute for the Dominant of Ramuh.

    "What the hell are you going to do?" Otto demanded.

    "This world isn't perfect," Clive said. Life's too short for perfect plans, a voice whispered in his ear. The memory was tinged with humour, with the confidence of a man always knew how to find another way, and with heartache, too. Clive stood, full of uncertainty, and sheathed his sword. "I'm going to find you a way."

    ---

    Or: Clive becomes what he must.

    Summary

    Well, there was nothing for it. “I intend to take back Rosaria from Sanbreque.”

    “Take back Rosaria,” Mother scoffed. “How childish. We must only ask and Rosaria will be returned to us.”

    “Ask?” Joshua echoed. “Ask who, Sylvestre? Sanbreque? Ask them the way you asked for the death of my father, ten years ago?”

    Mother’s expression closed off. She shifted her grip on the child in her arms and turned sharply. There was no maid nearby; the only person available to take Olivier from her was Clive. Joshua expected her to pick one son over the other—Joshua couldn’t remember a time when she had ever trusted Clive with something she considered precious.

    To the shock of everyone, but none so much as Clive himself, Mother dumped her squirming two year old into Clive’s arms so she could continue to argue with Joshua.

    “Everything I did, I did for you! I had your father killed to secure our place in an empire threatening to swallow us! Do you think that betrayal was nothing? Do you think I sacrificed nothing to keep you safe?”

    Summary

    PLEASE NOTE: I've done a major re-write of this entire fic to make it more cohesive. All chapters have been updated. CH1 is new. CH19, 50, 51, 62, 74, 76 have near total re-writes. There are ~45K new words to this update compared to the original.

    AU where Anabella's treachery is revealed, so the Night of Flames never occurs. Ultima, Eikons and the Curse all still in play.

    PART I: Elwin plans to marry Jill to Joshua, despite Jill and Clive being in love, as the political balance of the Twins was upended by the revelation of Anabella's conspiracy with the Empire. (Ch 1-22)

    PART II: Mothercrystals start collapsing and word of Ifrit spreads, capturing allied and enemy attention across he Twins. An outlaw and the lady of the wind converge on Rosaria. (CH23-45)

    PART III: A dragon joins the fight but needs help in letting go of the past. Clive discovers more powers which send him reeling. Odin sets the endgame in motion. (CH46-60)

    PART IV: Odin and Drake's Spine await on Ash. Clive faces the god who would use him as a weapon to remake the world. But he doesn't go to that battle alone. (CH61-78)
