Love Before Honor [AU]

I would suggest 720p so you can clearly read the text - there's a lot of it. WHAT? You have to READ? The insanity, I know!

---

Basic story if it wasn't clear/you want to double-check to see if you got it all right:

Hope is a prince, whose parents died when he was younger because of undisclosed reasons. From then on, his caretaker, Caius, made untoward advances towards his twin sister, Yeul. When she rejected him, he murdered her and covered it up. Years later, Hope has ascended the throne - but still gets to be a prince since I said so - and meets and becomes close to Noel. Noel, however, was really hired by Caius to get close to and then assassinate Hope.

However, he takes longer than Caius wants, a point which Alyssa, Caius's right-hand man, drives home often. Noel has fallen in love, however, and cannot bring himself to do it. Caius confronts Noel while he's out with Hope, and reveals to the prince everything, and attempts to off him himself. Noel fights and kills them, but Hope is hurt after learning his friend/lover/butt-buddy was just a lie, so he has him thrown in jail. Before his execution, however, he visits him... and reconciles.

(And I know Snow's line is pretty damn impossible to read, but I believe it's, "Do not resist, foul beast.")

Nope - Noel x Hope for all the uninformed - is a beautiful, beautiful thing. It's pretty much my OTP here. And everywhere. It almost rivals True Luff - Seymour x Snow for everyone who doesn't understand pure joy - in my heart. Almost, Milla, I swear.

This is kind of an IC, sort of... We never really set a time period and we just sort of went for it. But either way, I'm happy with it. I couldn't care less if she came out with the most beautiful editing known to man - I'm really, really happy with how this beautiful piece of magic came out.

[lUCREST]

Wot yes i love!!!

[aleyaoi]

It's fantastic: the story is great, the music is amazing and the pairing is probably the best pairing in FF 13 :D ( I mean, I love LightningxHope too, but NoelxHope is better!).

P.S. Sorry for my english!

[NissalMirai]

@Blue24601 Understood :)

[Alarnis]

@Blue24601 Aw... I would have loved to read that fanfic!

[Blue24601]

@Alarnis Haha, it's not supposed to really make sense. I was originally planning on turning this into a fanfiction, and expand on all the random tidbits that don't quite fit or could fit better.

[Alarnis]

Though I am a bit confused on the scene Serah. Why was Noel saying "Stop before you hurt yourself big boy."?

[Alarnis]

I love this so much! Now I really wished there were more fanfics of this pairing! Would love to read something like this!
