Summary
Zuko doesn’t have time to deal with pressure for an arranged marriage, especially since he isn’t even sure he likes women that way. (A realisation that has absolutely nothing to do with Ambassador Sokka - shut up, Suki.) Katara and Aang have broken up again, and the Northern Water Tribe are pushing for a match between the North and South.
Which leads Zuko and Katara to develop a genius, foolproof, only slightly drunken plan: they can pretend to date for the length of Katara’s stay in the palace, giving them both a brief reprieve from political pressures on their love lives.
What could go wrong?

Sokka's instincts are onto something great. Zuko just wants to serve tea and brood in peace. Ironically, Toph is the only one who can see what's really going on.

Summary
Long ago when the words of the gods resonated in the hearts of men... A saviour lived that could cure the afflicted. But a jealous king, one not yet chosen by the Crystal, attempted to ostracize and demonize this healer of the people. Only through the divine intervention of the King of Kings, did the first Chosen King Ascend, thus forever altering the fate of the Star.
In other words: Noctis is minding his own business in the Beyond, supposedly dead, when he sees a woman who looks a lot like Luna about to be killed. He's not about to let that happen.

Summary
This moment is one Ignis will keep until it sits in his memory the way Prompto’s camera sits in his hands; well-loved and weathered from being picked up and admired over and over and over again.

Summary
A scream tears from his throat as he plummets through the floor, right through decaying wood and the cheap peeling plaster of the ceiling, wind whistling rapidly past his ears, eyes wide open in shock as he twists desperately, hands clawing about in the air, wanting some way to stop his descent. There's no time for a second scream as the floor of the previous story rushes up far too fast, and it's only after he's gone through it, body scraping painfully on broken boards, arm catching briefly and ripping open skin, that he registers he's gone right through a hole in that floor, falling further down to the story below.
Noct's avoidance of his royal obligations sets off a chain of events no one could have foreseen, culminating in him falling through three stories of an abandoned building. Unfortunately, no one knows where he is, and as his condition worsens, it soon becomes a tense challenge to find him in time.

Summary
Technically it was Pormpto's idea for Noctis to get a Twitch channel but no one was supposed to realise he's the Crown Prince. Like, honestly, who'd believe the Crown Prince is live streaming an ancient RPG during the mid afternoon?
Chaos ensues.

Summary
The third time Prompto excused himself into the cover of the trees and threw up, he thought it would probably be smart to say something. He thought that as he was walking back, feeling absent and less than three-dimensional, and then he arrived on the scene of Gladio and Noctis at each other’s throats about setting up the tent.

Summary
Things changed. Cloud never left Nibelheim, instead becoming the town's only mechanic. Life is good, if a little boring, until one day Zack and Sephiroth arrive to argue with the village council about demolishing the old Shinra mansion.
Well, they almost arrive. Their truck breaks down outside of town, which leads to a meeting that can really only be one of two things: fate, or just really, really awkward.

Patricide is Harder than it Looks by tunafishprincess
Fandoms: Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
14 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
Cloud made a promise to Gaia, believing he would return to the past to stop Sephiroth from erasing Cloud’s existence. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned. It didn’t help that the Goddess elected to solve the issue of his continued existence through the use of Sephiroth’s cells. Couldn’t she have made him a bit bigger at least?
When Sephiroth was called to an emergency in Hojo’s laboratory, he didn’t expect to find the Professor dead, nor was he expecting to walk out a father to a mysterious five-year-old boy. Nor was Shinra, for that matter. Nevertheless, he’ll adjust. He hopes.
Shinra’s SOLDIERs hadn’t expected to babysit Sephiroth’s new son, who may or may not be looking to commit patricide.
(AKA Gaia saw Sephiroth needing a family and yeeted Cloud at him like a son-shaped grenade.)

Summary
Zack is a people person. He really is. But there is just something about sitting down at the table with the mother of his best friend, who he may just be in love with, that's the tiniest bit unsettling.
(On the plus side, there's homemade dinner. And cuddling. That kinda makes it worth it.)

Summary
After leaving for a routine Shinra mission, Second Class SOLDIER Zack Fair is called back to base unexpectedly. A fire has spread over the entire base and his best friend Cadet Strife is missing. Zack bolts home to quell the flames, and more importantly, find Cloud.
Written because I wanted to see an intense scene of Zack searching for Cloud in the aftermath of a huge fire, freaking out when he DOESN'T find him and then when he DOES. Enjoy 8k of that.

Summary
Claudia passes down the entirety of her knowledge and Cloud takes to it easily. There are a few others in Nibelheim who practice Nibel braiding and Cloud feels a flicker of pride at sharing something so unique with so few. He’s become increasingly isolated from others his age—partly his own doing, partly from Tifa’s accident—and he finds comfort in being able to say so much with so little.
(Cloud learns how to say a lot to the people who matter most)
