Summary
I no longer claim to know why Victor said that I died that night. I believed once that I knew him, likely better than anyone in the world, but after that night we became strangers to each other in a way that we could not repair. Did he believe he was shielding his father and brother from a greater horror? Was it truly easier to face the notion of me dead, than me lost to him? Better a martyr, perhaps, than a saint defiled.

Summary
My creation was hideous. Lips, blackened and shriveled, a knotting scar across his cheek, dark veins visible through the grey, translucent skin – I brought a monster out of the grave. And his eyes. Watery and yellowed with death, welling with tears and staring straight through me, piercing me with their longing.

There are a few things that Carlos may have neglected to tell Cecil.
Like his last name.
Or how he hasn’t actually dated anyone since his junior year of high school.
Or that he’s a wizard of the White Council and the regional commander of Wardens in the western United States and not, in fact, a scientist.
You know. Minor details.

Summary
Callista Curnow is unremarkable. She's a twenty-something freelance tutor with no particularly glamorous clients, she lives by herself, and has only one living family member.

Empress Jessamine Kaldwin was murdered nearly a year ago by her closest confidante, and nobody has seen her daughter since. But a girl needs a teacher, and Daud is nothing if not a thoughtful jailor.

Summary
The thing about survivor's guilt is it doesn't care if there's nothing you could possibly have done to change what happened when you were sixteen.
The thing about being sent back in time to try anyway is that you end up having to save the world using such weapons as cookies, arson, and telling the truth.

The Completely Inept Courtship of the One-Winged Angel's Cloud by Anonymous
Fandoms: Final Fantasy VII
24 Jan 2024
Tags
Summary
Sephiroth finally manages to kill everyone during one of his many returns from the dead. He is a badass, nearly all powerful god of destruction and completely bored out of his oh so perfect, superior mind now that he’s gotten his way. He starts missing his fights with his only rival and the entertainment they provided but cannot pull the other away from a protective lifestream for long or return him to life. So he decides with nothing better to do and ridiculous amounts of power, he’ll just return them to a point in time when they both were alive and Sephiroth had easy access to manipulate his favorite puppet.
Cloud is not happy to find himself a trainee/infantryman again and the other Firsts and upper management cannot for the life of them figure out why the “Great Sephiroth” is stalking the blond and acting like a bratty, bullying seven year old with his first crush.
