Summary
At a loss for words, she simply nodded. He kept watching her, moving his fingers on her picture. “There’s nothing true in here. The light is made to flatter you. Colors are studied. There’s styling. Make-up is used to mask. This is crafted.” He followed the line of her face on her picture, lingering just above her eyes. A shudder crept along her back. “These are not.”
[In which Squall, renowned black-and-white photographer, sees something raw and true he can't ignore in Rinoa's eyes; and Rinoa, musician turned silent, knows his gaze shifts the feel of her skin.] -

Summary
“You’re so beautiful when you beg,” she says, and she gives in just a little, just enough to tear another guttural groan from him. Just enough to make him feel ready to plunge into the abyss before she pulls him back and starts over again, and the edge becomes its own kind of pleasure.
[Esthar, Squall, and the way Rinoa knows how to take care of him so he can let go.]Series

Summary
“A Sorceress doesn’t need to be saved,” said Griever. “A Sorceress needs to be seen. Are you ready not to look back?”
Dumbfounded, Squall took his time to reply. “She saved me,” he said at last. “I promised I would protect her if she stayed close to me, and when the time came, I couldn’t. I want to give her her freedom back.”
“At what cost?”
“Whatever it takes. My life, even.”
“As long as she is free?”
“As long as she is free.”[Squall, Rinoa, and the myth of Eurydice.]

He makes a sound, kind of disbelieving himself. But they have just traveled far into the future to defeat a Sorceress full of pain and vitriol, and also managed to come back from that unscathed, so he thinks he is allowed to be an optimist, for once.
