This is a blockbreaker story based on a random idea from within chatroom discussions <img src="https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/><br /><br />The scene above is set at a planned later stage of my FF9 AU story <a href="http://fav.me/d37yxgr">[link]</a> , involving Mikoto. Some of the planned alterations to the stage of the game depicted are given away, but since the time this scene would happen is in Disc 2, and very far off in the terms of that other story, I don't think it's a huge spoiler for my story plan. <br /><br />Warning is a precaution for nudity being mentioned, even though there is nothing explicit. <img src="https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/><br /><br />The soldier here is also the soldier from another story <a href="http://fav.me/d27gp6n">[link]</a> . In this AU, lucky old Maria seems to have managed to evade her troubles from the story there, only to get into the disaster you read above <img src="https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/>
