This is a fic that I wrote in response to a prompt over at the FF Crack Meme that was hosted by ff_land awhile ago (writer's block, real life drama, and time constraints unfortunately kept me from finishing it until just recently though)...but, my crack-writing skills failed me and it somehow turned into a much more serious piece than I thought it would. 0_0;

The prompt was "Role Reversal: Penelo is the dreamer with the desire to be a skypirate, while Vaan finds himself pulled along for the ride." from the awesome soldiergossip.

I apologize for the incredibly long wait and the lack of crack in the fic, soldiergossip...but I hope it is an enjoyable read for you! Again, sorry that it took so long to finish!

Username: Yin (of breyzyyin)
Class: White Mage
Title: Sky Gazing
Summary: When Vaan was little, he used to love the sky...but the tragic death of his older brother changed his perspective on that topic completely. His childhood friend Penelo is still in love with the sky and dreams of becoming a true Sky Pirate, however, and Vaan has a very hard time coming to terms with their differences of opinion on the subject at first.
Characters/Pairings: Vaan, Penelo, Filo, and Reks are the main focuses of the piece...though Kytes and Migelo are also mentioned. Pairing is Vaan x Penelo.
Notes:: My first role reversal fic...I had fun writing it, though it was a bit of a challenge to complete. Hopefully it turned out okay! :)
Word count: 3,070
Rating/warnings: G. Some slight spoilers for FFXII (but only if you aren't familiar with the Reks plot-line).
