Fics like Chosen, With Life so Short

“You’ve caused a scandal,” Basch says, reaching up to begin the arduous process of undoing his armor. “But it is good to see you well.” Balthier looks a little worn since they last saw each other, but whole. He sits easily but wears looser clothes, a higher collar still, and there’s something at the eyes that suggests—to Basch at least—that the interceding year since last they met has not been entirely spent for dramatic effect. “And you,” Balthier says, warmly. He folds the book closed at last, as if he’s only just remembered its presence. “Though I can hardly say I approve of your choice in a new profession.” Basch knuckles down to become Gabranth. Balthier reappears on the scene after a year in absentia, on the same day his father's research notes are stolen from Draklor Laboratories. In these preparations for peace between the nations that will hopefully last, a new political climate begins to appear and yet it seems like not every problem was solved in the last epic turn of events. Something still lingers where Venat began... Set after the game and progressing over several year's time. I'm more or less ignoring Revenant Wings. Arc 1 complete.
