Feathers Carved in Stone (Final Fantasy X, fayth)
FANDOM: Final Fantasy X
FIC LINK: Feathers Carved in Stone
AUTHOR LINK:
Jessicamariek
RATING/WARNING(S): G/no archive warnings apply
WORD COUNT: ~15,000
MAIN CHARACTERS: Valefor, the other fayth, assorted summoners and guardians (both in-game characters and OCs)
FIC SUMMARY: She lived for twelve years, and dreamed for a thousand. A girl named Valefor and the long, winding road to Zanarkand.
RECCER'S NOTES: Oh my god, this story. The author explores what the thousand-year mess that was Sin was like for the fayth who provide the summoners' aeons - what they sacrificed to try to save Spira, the zillion failed pilgrimages, the few successful ones (which, given the nature of the cycle, almost hurt more), the point where they decide enough is enough and they have to try to find a way to stop this nonsense. It's beautiful, and utterly heartbreaking, and a wonderful exploration of the game's backbone.
