Summary
An unofficial novelization of Final Fantasy XIII, with a streamlined story that focuses on the character and setting depth that the original game had trouble depicting. This work draws on some of the lore detailed in Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lightning Returns, but treats the story of those sequels as an alternate timeline and will respect the original game's depicted ending. I will be posting each part as I finish it, but I may edit earlier parts as I go.
No familiarity with the game or characters required to enjoy!

Summary
Final Fantasy XIII Fangrai/Flight Witcher AU
Fang is a witcher with a home, a sister, and her own cause to fight for. It sounds a whole lot better than being a witcher with a shattered fortress, a dead school, and no clients willing to pay a contract.
Eden is a quiet kingdom that prides itself on being a haven from magical threats of any nature. It sounds a whole lot better than being a kingdom shrouded in fear, and clinging to a pervasive and deeply rooted phobia of everything arcane.
Somehow, Fang and Vanille have found a place in a Kingdom that hates them, and Oerba has become more of a home than anything Fang has ever known in the decades she's spent wandering the world. But when the High Sorcerer of Eden sets his sights on Vanille, Fang finds herself embarking on a contract of her own making.
Things are never so simple as they seem.
