''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6312809/1/The_Lion_of_Ivalice '''''The Lion of Ivalice]'''''] is a ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]'' [[For Want of a Nail]] fanfiction that alters a key decision in Ramza Beoulve's life: after the events of Fort Ziekden and the deaths of [[Dead Little Sister|Teta]] and (supposedly) Delita, he turns down the canon offer of becoming a mercenary and sneaks into the Bethla Garrison instead. Orlandu catches on quickly, and is rather skeptical as to why he wants to join the Southern Sky, suspecting him of being a spy of sorts. Ramza, however, makes it clear he holds more honor as a Beoulve than his brothers, and has no one else to turn to. Seeing Balbanes in him, Orlandu agrees to take him in as a soldier of the Southern Sky.
 
From there, the plot of the story takes a very different turn from the original game, but the verdict is still the same; Ramza uncovers the Lucavi plot and works to stop it. Things, however, aren't as easy as they seem, because the Lucavi quickly learn not to pull any punches when dealing with their enemies. The character dynamics and interactions are also noticeably different than in canon, yet still fit in with the characters as they were originally envisioned - and with how the storyline evolves - rather plausibly. The main pairing is Ramza/Meliadoul, with many other [[Beta Couple]] pairings by the side for measure.

=== Tropes listed in The Lion of Ivalice: ===
 
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: While certain story elements are expanded upon, the author doesn't go overboard in either description or character explanation, simply opting for the crucial storytelling elements. This is why the battles, conflicts and relationships are streamlined whilst still being plausible, making for a tight yet still-compelling read.
** The battles are a load more streamlined than in canon. For instance, there's less overuse of magic by the Lucavi to focus instead on their individual skills and strengths and the unique strategies required to defeat them. And while the events of the plot follow ''elements'' of canon almost symmetrically, they're more compressed so that the repetitive re-matches against certain enemies and the pointless squabble fights either don't happen or are extremely brief rather than dragged out into genuine tactical conflicts.
