Faced with the spheres of his past, Auron struggles. Rikku tries to help.

Notes: 2022 retrospective note: One of the few unprompted fics I posted this year, inspired by this gorgeous piece of fanart in which Auron is suffering; strangely enough, I was immediately moved to write a fic in which, once again, Auron is suffering. Weaving this fic into the events of canon was fun although surprisingly challenging, and I enjoyed writing the Auron & Rikku interactions, which gave me a new appreciation for Rikku as a character.
