Formatting is the devil. Also, new fic.

10 drabbles, which technically could stand alone but are tied together. It's called "Like Sisters", which is my pretentious reference to the way 'like' used to be used as 'alike' currently is, only with slightly different grammatical rules. It's also intended as a deliberately unhelpful description of their relationship. "They" being Lightning and Serah Farron from Final Fantasy XIII, and "Like Sisters" is an accounting of their relationship from small childhood to Lightning's twenty-first birthday, with emphasis on their time as each others' only family. I'm kind of proud of it. Be aware, though: death of parents (as in canon), mentions of sexual harassment and alcohol abuse, and spoilers for Lightning's real name and the events of her birthday.
