Fandom: FFXII
Title: When Kingdom Come
Pairings/Characters: Balthier/Ashe, Rasler, Vossler, Penelo, Basch
Rating/Warnings: M, character death, subtle genocide
Other: for kinkfest prompt - AU; Vossler wins, Fran dies, and Balthier takes Ashe under his wing.
A/N: I feel like this needs some explanation, but I don't know where to start.  Written from Rasler's point-of-view, posthumously.  Comments so very much loved.

( Cid disapproves of young men wearing jewelry, beyond a dog-tag, that is. Cid disapproves of young men with perfect nails, even if Balthier's do have a dark line of grease caught under them. Cid disapproves of young men wearing skin-tight black leather pants and bending over his baby's bright heart like that; Cid disapproves of gay floral vests where a tasteful little pinstripe print would do; Cid disapproves of multi-tonal blonde hair that's more artifice than actuality. Cid disapproves of a perfectly clean shave, and Cid disapproves of the undeniable vanity of such nastily thin, smirky little excuses for sideburns. Muttonchops, yeah: now that's how a man grows sideburns. )

Finance, powerplay, sex, competency, efficiency, money: it's everything I could have hoped for in a man. a threesome. an imaginary playground.

In other words, the stockmarket AU is done - rewritten in some parts, and with a lot of logic added within. Worth your while to read it from beginning up even if you followed the original comment spam! Very worth it. You know you're worth it.

Pimping nasdack  for immediate futures and great profits. The AU shall not end here. There's all sorts of things to come. Inappropriate use of golf balls. The value of well-applied vegetarianism. Reno, Rude, Elena, Reno, Reno, did I mention Reno?, and (because it's also me writing this) undoubtedly scenes with Balthier's BFF, also with added blonde Germanic twins.

I think this will be the closest I ever get to writing marriage in general, THUS!

Meme from manic_intent @ LJ: the theme is same sex marriage. Pictures, fics - link back to equalityforall.com, for greater justice.

Prop 8 intends to reverse the recent Californian Court ruling allowing gay marriage as an issue of equality. Visit [No to Prop 8] if you have time/want/agreement, and see how to assist/spread the word.
