Balthier's Guide to Ivalice by empyrean
Fandoms: Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
11 Nov 2011
Tags
Summary
Balthier takes us on a tour of Ivalice, from the Westersands to Giruvegan, and not-so-gently guides Vaan into sky piracy the best way he knows how. Which apparently includes a fair bit of leering combined with verbal abuse. Vaan is smarter than anyone suspects and Fran finds the whole thing incredibly amusing.

PS - open this in private, would you? -- ❞Series

Summary
There are two things Balthier had to learn the hard way: One, do not ever take free samples from Rabanastran street vendors after dark. And two, after all this time, Vaan is far more aware than he's given the boy credit for.

Summary
“Our sky pirate becomes a soft touch, it seems,” Fran says, with a smile. “Who would have thought it.”
“I’m not the one offering to teach gutter-churls how to read,” Balthier points out, perhaps a touch too loud.
“You’re going to teach us how to read?” Vaan asks, and he’s looking at Balthier as he says it.
“No,” Balthier says, with a shake of his head, “Fran is.”

Tags
Summary
[ON HIATUS] Everything has its price, especially freedom.
Ivalice is a region fraught with war. Many have died as a result of the Archadian Empire's quest for power. Those who have lost loved ones and their homelands have chosen to pick up the sword or kneel to its might.
After a mysterious dream, Valerie wakes up in the middle of a snowstorm with no recollection of her past and her life under threat. Left with no other choice, she's forced to flee and is given a mission to help the chosen one in their mission. A ring, a stone, and an irreparable airship are the only clues to unlocking the memories buried deep within the recesses of her mind.
Then, one night, fate causes her to meet a dangerous man whose destiny and past are more intricately intertwined with hers than either could possibly imagine. He and their unlikely group of friends will be her only means of survival as they're thrust into the middle of a political conflict that threatens all of Ivalice. And he will be the only one who can save her as she faces the demons hidden inside her heart and uncovers the mysteries of her past.

Summary
The famed Tantalus theatre troupe, led by thieving thespians Balthier and Zidane, hosts an open-call for new members during the cusp of their upcoming show season. Vaan — a common thief from Lindblum's lowers — gets lucky enough to catch their attention, and earns himself an audition.
Like most things in his life up to now, it doesn't exactly pan out like he expects. His vision of joining Gaia's most esteemed underground heist operation involved a lot more thieving...and a lot less crossdressing.

Summary
Vaan is a magnet for status ailments throughout their adventure, and Balthier finds it harder to ignore the growing attraction between them every time the thief falls under the effect of one.
