Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII PC 2015

[givelightningherharem]

Because Lightning abandoned the name “Claire” because she believed her old self to be weak, I like to imagine that in the new world, finally getting to live a happy life, her friends and family are all safe and living happily, that Light gradually begins to accept her past self again. That was kind of the whole thing when it came to Lightning Returns, I felt like, so once she’s in the new world, it all comes to fruition when slowly but surely, Lightning accepts being called Claire again.

But I like to think that even when it comes to using her real name, Lightning only lets a select few even call her that. Serah obviously has the rights to it, that’s her sister after all,,,,and I can only imagine the emotional impact that it would have on Serah when she calls Lightning by her name, and there’s just a side by side between past and present. Between when they were younger, Serah calling her sister by her real name because “lightning” was still a name she needed adjusting too, only to be yelled at, Lightning insisting not to call her by that weak name anymore.

And then it cuts to the present, where Serah says Light’s real name after so long, and Lightning smiles at her. Because it’s really been so long since she’s heard that name come out of her sisters mouth. Her sister that wasn’t just an evil ass old man in disguise, or a fucked up god creating an entirely fake Serah. But it’s truly her little sister looking at her, and saying the name “Claire” with so much love that Lightning almost feels emotional hearing it, her eyes misty.

“Hehe, it’s a little nostalgic…” Serah sighs, putting a hand to her cheek. Lightning huffs, a smile playing on her lips. “Is it? It’s going to take some getting used to again, but I always considered the name to be…weak. Something I didn’t want to be.”

“You think so?” Serah blinks, eyes big and wide and oh, so sincere. “I always loved your name…it’s so beautiful and comforting. And…it’s the name mom and dad gave you, so when I say your name, it makes me think of them..”

Lightning winces at hearing that. Thinking back to all the times she’d yell and scream for that name to never be said again. She never really did give much thought to Serah’s emotions back then, at least, much less compared to her physical well being. She wants…to be better.

“Well, we have all the time in the world now. Call me by my name as much as you want…and we can talk about mom and dad as much as you want…”

lightning farron | final fantasy XIII

[frickingnerd]

yandere lightning

pairing: claire "lightning" farron x gn!reader

tags: lightning is bad at feelings, yandere who struggles with romantic feelings, overprotective!lightning, open ending

lightning's feelings for you are so strong that they actually scare her! she's not afraid of anything nor does she love anyone that isn't part of her family

yet here you are, turning her whole life upside down without even realizing it!

lightning's first approach to her newfound romantic feelings for you isn't what most people would do; lightning tries to scare you away!

she's rude to you, even more than she is with some other people. she either acts like you don't exist or she's outright mean to you and puts you down!

she hopes that if she acts like you don't exist or acts as if you're not worth her time, she'll eventually believe it herself and her feelings for you fade away

but they only grow stronger, as you remain kind to her. despite her treatment, you remain friendly and it infuriates her, as well as makes her fall for you even harder!

slowly, lightning begins to treat you a little more kindly. she doesn't want to hurt you anymore, the opposite in fact!

lightning grows protective of you, scaring away anyone who dares to get too close to you! she'll mess them up so much that they don't dare approach you again, isolating you from the people around you

lightning can't admit that she's in love with you, but she can make sure nobody else gets to have you!

This was honestly a blast to make. Super grateful someone commissioned this after all these years of wanting to draw her.

“Why did you keep looking for me?” Lightning demanded, the harsh confusion in her tone would've come off as anger to anyone else, he knew her well enough to see the true emotions behind it. “There was a chance at a normal life here, Hope. A fresh start like you should've had before the purge. Why didn't you take it?”

The young director breathed a slow sigh, such a tired sound, and it filled her with regret. He deserved better, she'd never been able to give him that.

If only she knew that all it would take is her presence. He had no desire for a normal life if that meant she wasn’t in it.

“I made a promise once that l'd watch out for you too.” Hope reminded her of the heartfelt exchange from long ago. “There's no God or Goddess, no barrier of another realm that could stop me from keeping it. We're partners, Light, that'll never change.”

I love how other people saw parallels (that I didn't) between my top two favorite male Final Fantasy characters; as well as my top two favorite female Final Fantasy characters, who I ship them with... 😎

I was reading an FF7xFF13 Fanfiction that focused realitionship of Cloud and Lightning.

This is literally is what it looked like inside my head.

Ngl, I didn't think Lightning looked so fitted there.

Bonus: Zack and Aerith cause they are goated
