Looking for any good FFX ff. If I had to put a focus on what I'm looking for, it'd be something where Tidus sticks around with the Al Bhed in the beginning, but I'm not picky with plot so long as it's good.

Thanks.

 

Yo.

Doesn't quite fit what you're looking for. But it does spend a decent amount of time with the Al Bhed.

 

My friend, you are absolutely in luck!
You see, there is, in fact, fanfiction so exquisite it was published as an official novella.

It's called Final Fantasy X 2.5, and let me just let gamefaqs elucidate the details for you.
Does contain spoilers, though! Be warned.

Spoiler

Don't read it, it's absolutely terrible in a not-even hilarious way. Tidus kicks a bomb in the shape of a blitzball, it explodes, kills him, and Yuna keeps his head with her for some bizarre reason. It's only gotten negative reviews.

 

Wouldn't mind reading a fic about Auron as long as most of the other characters stay out of it.
