Title: Beasts and Men
Fandom: Tales of the Abyss
Pairing: Arietta/Asch if you squint, but it's not intended as romance.
Characters: Arietta, Asch, mentions of the rest of the God-Generals
Rating: PG
Word Count: 590
Notes: Never thought I'd write fic about Arietta, but here it is. Kind of unfinished, but I couldn't figure out a proper ending.

( Arietta understood now. Because there was no blood, no bruise, no open gash, and yet her chest and stomach ached when she thought about Ion. )

Title: The Death of a King (Part 2)
Genre: Fantasy, Satire? (I'm not sure if this counts)
Rating: PG
Notes: This is a fun little original story idea I've had floating around for a while. I don't really plan to use it for anything in the future, let alone sell it, so I'm not locking the post, and am using a CC license instead. I just wanted to write it.


Part 1

( The King. It didn't surprise her that he was behind all of this. Macie wanted nothing more to give him a piece of her mind--and perhaps a good kick in the shins in the process. )

Title: Luke
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts II/Final Fantasy VII/Tales of the Abyss
Pairing: Cloud/Tifa, implied Zack/Aerith, Sora/Riku/Kairi
Characters: Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Zack, etc
Rating: G
Notes: Watching his wife and son is a man who realizes he’s been a father for a long time. (based on the RP doujin. Spoilers for it. Probably won’t make as much sense to anyone other than Aki or I, but that’s all right. I’ve wanted to write this for a while now. Sappy fluff and babies. Kay?) (Also spoilers for Tales of the Abyss. Yes. I won’t explain.) (and umm...happy Father’s Day, I guess? XD)


( 'Maybe it’s just...I don’t know what’s going to change?' )

this is what it means to be held
how it feels when the sacred is torn from your life and you survive
this is what it is to be loved
and to know that the promise was when everything fell
we’d be held

this hand is bitterness
we want to taste it, let the hatred know our sorrow
the wise hand opens slowly
to lilies of the valley and tomorrow

Title: Madly
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts II
Pairing: Leon/Cloud
Characters: Cloud, Leon, briefly Tifa, Aerith and Yuffie
Rating: G (PG for mentions of blood?)
Notes: Fluffy abstract angst because I haven't in a while.


( I'm the end of the line, Strife.  )


we give it up, try to find what was with us all the time
gotta lose some things if you're ever gonna get on by
and who was wrong, who was right?
always end up in a fight, and I thought I'd crumble, no, I'm fine

madly, madly, madly
well, if you really love me
when you see me leaving, just let me go
madly, madly, madly
well, tell me that you need me
show me I'm the only and that's all I need to know

Title: The Man Who Was Once a Dragon
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts (KIND OF)
Rating: PG
Pairing: Uh....Girl/Dragon? Hero/Hero's Wife? King/Queen/Knight? AHAHAHAHAHA
Word Count: 988
Notes: OKAY. This'll be interesting.

A fairy tale-type story based loosely off my Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy roleplay with thunderedge. Basically...I got the idea writing out Genesis' dialogue, because he's constantly making literary references. Essentially, this is to the roleplay, or at least the Sephiroth Arc, as LOVELESS is to Crisis Core. (LOVELESS the play, not Loveless the shounen-ai manga XD though apparently LOVELESS the play does have shounen-ai themes...? Traveller/Hero OTP totally *shot*) Since Genesis can't really quote LOVELESS anymore, he says "I'm writing my own story"--i.e. taking hold of his own destiny instead of relying on a book to determine it.

Genesis: Do you understand now? No one can control him. Sephiroth, the nightmare, the god. The Angel of Death's wings are no longer clipped. And no doubt...the chains your little witch locked his memories away with have fallen away by now.
Riku + Kairi: *bristle*
Kairi: How dare you call her that!
Genesis: Ah...the Princess and the Dark Knight. *gaze stops at Sora* Two-faced cards. The Crown Prince and the Key of Destiny. The Princess Royal and the Enchantress. But they are inconsequential to my purpose. *continues past Vincent and Yuffie* He who was once Chaos, Harbinger of the End. The Mischevious Thief. *stops at Cloud, Tifa and Leon* The Village Boy who became Dragonslayer and his lovers. I find it hard to believe a child like you would play such a part, but then again, the dragon orchestrates his own defeat by playing with his prey for too long.
Cloud: .....
Zack: *strides over to stand by him*
Genesis: And who do you think you are?
Zack: The village boy's best friend, I suppose. Or you could call me the "dragon-tamer". *grins recklessly* He who turns beasts into men.

Funny thing is, I've been calling Sephiroth "the dragon" ever since the title of the Load in the first Underworld Arc, "Princess Vs. Dragon". (stolen from Bleach >.> ) But in that case, Aerith's the princess...

This deviates somewhat from the actual plot of the RP, especially near the end, but I was trying to make it fairy-tale-like. I'll leave who the different characters correspond to up to the reader...


( Once upon a time... )


Happily ever after? I suppose.

Title: Destiny From the Sky
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Rating: G
Pairing: Zack/Aerith
Word Count:
Notes: IT JUST HAPPENED I SWEAR. Listening to Norah Jones. I hope I didn't screw anything up because my memories of the game are fuzzy. I need to replay it.


( Seven years later, destiny came tumbling down from the roof, with its rakish grin and blue, blue eyes, and asked her on a date. )

spinning, laughing, dancing to her favorite song
a little girl with nothing wrong is all alone
eyes wide open always hoping for the sun
and she'll sing her song to anyone that comes along

fragile as a leaf in autumn
just fallin' to the ground
without a sound

crooked little smile on her face
tells a tale of grace that's all her own

spinning, laughing, dancing to her favorite song
a little girl with nothing wrong
and she's all alone

Title: The Body
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII/Crisis Core
Rating: R for disturbing images
Pairing: none
Word Count: 1,038
Notes: ...here I was complaining about Zack death fics and how I didn’t want to read any more, when this started screaming “WRITE ME NOW BITCH.” :\ I feel like a dirty hypocrite. I really don’t blame anyone for not reading this. It disturbs me, and I wrote it.

Edit: This was basically rendered obselete by the ending of Crisis Core. Consider it based off the original game, then. x.x (which technically, it was.)


( He could not look at the body. )

Title: Lead and Follow: the Wasteland
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts II (post-Showdown of Fate. Yes. Again. STFU.)
Characters: Cloud, Tifa
Pairings: CLC, Tifa/Aerith (implied)
Rating: G
Words: 743
Notes: Something I wrote to solidify some of the ideas for my doujin, Lead and Follow. It started out not unlike Proximity did; a few stupid gratuitous scenes that would make any 13-year-old yaoi fangirl squeal, and I told myself I'd leave it at that. HAHAHA. Funny, I am. Really. Unfortunately, I still like my plot better than my smut. Woe. Anyway, I ended up combining it with some of my ideas for Tifa/Aerith doujin, because I needed some shoujo-ai. After all, I keep promising delovely_masha some… >.>

Well, the T/A pairing is implied in Proximity, but it's not the focus at all, and you really need to read into it anyway. Mostly because too many yaoi fans have this problem with yuri. Well, this time around I decided I didn't care. So, I'm sorry if you follow my work and don't like girl/girl. Too bad. Don't read it.

Anyway, this has a similar basis to "incompletion", but that was kind of tragic and made me feel bad, even if I was happy with how it came together. It was my first exploration with the whole "Tifa isn't real" storyline, as I've always written her as a resident of Hollow Bastion/Radiant Garden because of the roleplay. But I wanted a different, more hopeful outcome, at least.

I ramble. But Lead and Follow is much more than this one scene, both before and after it. I hope it's not too vague. I just felt like it needed to be written.



( He looked at her, finally, the first time he had really looked since she had reached for him, calling his name. That was enough to banish any lingering regret. )

hey now, all you sinners
put your lights on, put your lights on
hey now, all you children
leave your lights on, you better leave your lights on

'cause there's a monster living under my bed
whispering in my ear
and there's an angel with a hand on my head
she say I've got nothing to fear
she say we all shine like stars
she say we all shine like stars, then we fade away

Title: A Thousand Voices (WiP)
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Pairing: N/A
Characters: Cloud (POV), Sephiroth, Camellia and Ren (OCs), Biggs, Wedge, Jessie
Rating: R for violence. (;D! I mean...)
Notes: I dunno how long this will be, but I hope not as long as Homecoming, because HELLO TRAUMA. >.> I wanted to deal with a point someone brought up...I believe it was chibixleon, about how Sephiroth always threatens to take away all that Cloud holds dear, but then...doesn't. And all the hints at Cloud's KH past...something had to have happened. Naturally, violence ensues.

--This installment ends abruptly, I know. I might add to it, but I ran out of steam.

...and I envy Cloud's ability to shrug and have it be taken as an answer. IT'S A SUPER POWER I SAY.

Title: A Perfect Lie
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Pairing: CLC (implied)
Rating: G
Word Count: 1,140
Notes: I realized after “Memories of Fire” that specific writing is really not my thing, at least when it comes to slash. (so far) It felt too contrived, it was an exhausting project, and I’m still not satisfied with it. So I decided to return to abstraction, since it just flows more naturally.




( Light and darkness existed and pulled at me, and I had chosen the darkness. That was the perfect truth. )

Title: A Thousand Voices (WiP)
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Pairing: N/A
Characters: Cloud (POV), Sephiroth, Camellia and Ren (OCs), Biggs, Wedge, Jessie
Rating: R for violence. (;D! I mean...)
Notes: I dunno how long this will be, but I hope not as long as Homecoming, because HELLO TRAUMA. >.> I wanted to deal with a point someone brought up...I believe it was chibixleon, about how Sephiroth always threatens to take away all that Cloud holds dear, but then...doesn't. And all the hints at Cloud's KH past...something had to have happened. Naturally, violence ensues.

I'm taking this lightly here, but it's actually rather serious. And Cloud is technically 16, but mentally a lot younger since he lost about 4 years of growing up normally. So my language is probably too sophisticated, as usual, but I'm not changing my style just because of that.

I realized that most of my OC nowadays, when I must have them in fics, are either mature adults or small children. Possibly because that lessens the chance of romantic involvement with the canon characters, so less people will scream "Sue!". People will scream "Sue!" anyway, but what are you gonna do.

Title: A Piece of My Heart
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII (Advent Children)
Pairing: Cloud/Aerith, (omg what) Zack/Aerith
Characters: Aerith, Cloud, Zack
Rating: G
Notes: Contrary to popular belief, I don’t hate on Cloud/Aerith. I’m just a Cloud/Tifa fan. If you look at the game, the player makes the choices for Cloud, so really, both pairings are canon. Advent Children is significantly ambiguous enough for this to work. So people should quit with the drama. (it’s been ten years already, geez.) Anyway, this just sort of happened. Spoilers for Advent Children, since it’s, well, the ending.
