Final Fantasy XIII fic, Hope-centric

Title:  More Than A Gun In The Hand
Fandom: Final Fantasy XIII
Characters/Pairings: Hope-centric, but the whole party appears in some way. Hints of Fang/Vanille, but only as much as the source.
Spoilers: Through Chapter 11.
Rating/Warnings: PG; exploration of the whole '13-year-old in combat' thing.
Written For: ff_fortnightly; game mechanics prompt
Summary: Hope hates being support. A series of four drabbles.
Author's Notes: I did not ever expect to write Sazh, nor did I plan on writing Vanille without Fang. Strange things happen.  For purposes of story, assume they are not developed outside their primary three roles. Title from a quote from To Kill A Mockingbird.

I read the entire series. Ages ago. Why did it take me so long to notice that L was this adorable?

Still an incredibly complicated and morally ambiguous character, of course. Just a highly adorable, complicated and morally ambiguous character. And out of context, it is really a misleading picture. But come on.
'Scuse me, off to go re-start the series now.
