For the Varel and/or Nathaniel fans out there...
For all those Varel and Nathaniel fans out there, I am giving mad kudos to CCbug and lisakodysam's collaboration fic, Nobility Has Another Meaning.
Not only does it explore Varel's background and Nathaniel's childhood twenty years before the Fifth Blight, it also delves into the past of Arl Rendon Howe's wife, the arlessa of Amaranthine, who is already portrayed in the first chapter as a strong woman who is not a stereotypical woman warrior, as per the usual you find in a fantasy setting. This is a character we hardly see in the game or in fanfiction, and I think you will all find her very interesting indeed.
It is extremely well written, one of the true gems of FF.net, and sets up excellent tension and shows glimpses of very intriguing premises right there in the first chapter.
Nobility Has Another Meaning
Nathaniel/Varel (not a slashfic, I have a personal guarantee from one of the writers)
Rating: T to M
Chapters: Ongoing
Complete? Not yet
Summary: Long before the Blight, Robert Varel became Seneschal of Vigil's Keep. Power, love, jealousy, and hate put Varel at the mercy of a mad Arl Howe-can Varel keep his promise to protect those within? What happens when Nathaniel Howe returns?
