Pairings: mostly undecided, please see A/N.
Warnings: AU, major canon-fuckery
Summary: On that fateful day when Yunalesca faced Sin, only part of her died, and the part that stayed alive finds itself in Spira a thousand years later.
Disclaim Her: This story uses characters and settings owned by Square Enix. No money is being made from the creation of this fanfic, and no copywrite infringement is intended.
A/N: This story mostly came from my own irritation with their being more guys than girls in the party. (Writing FFX/HP crossovers didn't help that, since I always ended up adding yet another guy. *irritation* ) So I tried to think of a girl who I could add to the party that I wouldn't want to kill *coughShelindacough* and Yunalesca was my best idea, though I've had my moments of irritation with her.
The Yunalesca in this story is NOT the Yunalesca in Zanarkand. I won't tell you the full truth about her, since you'll be figuring that out as you go, just like the characters of this story, but I do want to mention that. (Some of you may already figure out why/how she's different by the end of this chapter, assuming the summary didn't already give it away. XD)
As for the pairings... As anyone who has ever read my crap before will know, I'm am overly fond of slash, in spite of being a lesbian myself. And so it is, of course, in my nature at this point to want to make this story slash. (Tidus/Seymour, I am thinking. I do love that pairing.) But I am also, since my most recent play-through of this game, becoming fond of Tidus/Rikku. I am also fond of a little Yuna/Rikku – that scene on Mt Gagazet was pure yuri, I swear – and a part of me would love to see Yunalesca with Yuna, because of Yuna's great adoration for her namesake. (Or, well, adoration up until she actually met the woman. XD)
At any rate, I don't want to decide the pairings, myself, as I'm not sure I could. (And my characters have a tendency to run off with the story, despite my best intentions.)
When it gets to the point that pairings start to form, I will update the warning at the top of this chapter – I have had complaints in the past from readers who really got into a fic, only to realise they hated the pairing when I finally decided on one – and also let you know at the start of that chapter. But please go into this fic with the knowledge that there is a change of there being het, slash/yaoi, or femslash/yuri in this fic.
That's rather a long A/N. I don't think I've had one that long since I stopped answering reviews in
Abandon. XD
