Abyss, Luke fon Fabre, forgiveness

[reaching]

Title: Never
Author: reaching
Canon: Tales of the Abyss.
Spoilers: Akzeriuth.
Characters/Pairing: Luke fon Fabre, mentions of Guy.
Rating: All audiences.
Warnings: N/A.

Born a replica, Luke had to learn many things, the meaning of words (tree, apple), concepts (duty, heir), feelings (admiration, fear, friendship, love).

Some had been easy (“Guy?”, “That’s a bird, Master Luke.”; “Guy?”, “Sky.”; “Guy?”, “That’s my nose – Luke… I’m not a tree. Would you please stop trying to climb me?”), but feelings were harder. One could never truly understand them without having experienced them somehow.

Akzeriuth taught him about shame, regret and self-loathing, and though there were some (self-acceptance, self-forgiveness) that eluded him still, it was alright.

He never wanted to forgive himself.

He never wanted to forget.

Bawww, Luke. Forgiveness is difficult for most people to learn but is rather important. LEARN IT, CHILD. LEARN IT BEFORE YOU DIE (which will not be too far in the future, /baws some more).

♥ Loved it.

Aaah, this is so cute and so sad ♥ (I especially love “That’s my nose – Luke… I’m not a tree. Would you please stop trying to climb me?”)

[reaching]

Thank you for the kind words. ♥ (And, coincidentally, it was the part I enjoyed writing the most -- mostly because of all the sad stuff that followed it, I think. xD)

;_; Poor Luke...

So thrilled with the idea of 'Guy' being the first word he learned, though. XD

[reaching]

Haha, I was actually wondering if anyone would notice that. XD ♥
