Summary
Edea’s amused voice called out, “Quistis, would you like to tell a story next?”
Quistis inclined her head, she’d been waiting for this. She had gotten stuck in a unique period of time for a while during Time Compression and learned a bit of local history for the place they sat right now. “Long ago, there stood a castle of white stone...”

“Aren’t you worried I’ll report your location to Squall?” Quistis asks.
Seifer laughs softly. Dangerously. “Aren’t you worried I’ll kill you so you can’t?”
After the war, Quistis discovers Seifer holed up in a remote cabin outside Dollet. At first glance, he seems to be the same old Seifer she's always known. But the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes he's deeply unwell—and that his survival may depend entirely on her.

Chasing Radiance by NimbusVulpes

Summary
To love is to admit that one day you will mourn the person that you've devoted yourself too. The vows always end with 'til death do us part', but in the moment nobody understands what that really means. The burden of the world is heavy, oppressive even, and to support that as a child even more so. Leon believed he had shed that life long ago when his world was destroyed and he arrived in Radiant Garden. By some miracle, or perhaps curse, he is forced back into the role of "Squall", digging up bodies that were long buried and secrets he had suppressed. The storm rolls in, a fitful burst of rain, and holding the umbrella is his cloudy companion. Chained together by fate, trapped in a world that shouldn't exist, they run together on borrowed time unsure of how to explain themselves or how to hide their truth. When the apocalypse comes, Leon is faced with a choice. To return to being "Squall" and face the storms of friends that he never fully mourned, or to keep being "Leon" and come face to face with the reality that he no longer can pretend this isn't love.

Summary
Four years have passed since Ultimecia was defeated and Squall and his crew returned as heroes. Quistis has spent the last three years working as a presidential aide to Laguna Loire in Esthar, and while she sometimes misses Balamb, she's found a niche for herself in the technologically advanced city.
Seifer, meanwhile, has been on the run since shortly after Ultimecia's defeat. Wanted by several nations for his role in the war, he fled Balamb and never looked back. The years haven't exactly been kind to him, and he's running out of places to hide.
When word reaches Esthar that Seifer Almasy's been spotted in the Dollet Dukedom, Laguna asks Quistis to investigate and bring him in to avoid an international incident, leading to a long-term assignment for Quistis to whip Seifer back into shape and help him clear his name before Galbadia calls for his head.
