[FF7 Game canon] Apropos of Nothing
Rating: PG-13 - Status: One-shot, complete - Warnings: Chara death, if you don't believe in happy endings
Characters: Rufus/Reno
Timeline: In-game

Summary: Sometimes, things just don't work out.

For wannabeking.

A/N: Was looking for a different manuscript (Turtledoves, actually, That Abyss Fic), when I came across this instead. I started it about a year back or half a year, couldn't seem to write the second half of it, and abandoned it for later. Later was apparently today, where I slapped together something and decided, ah hell, let's just post this (even if it's not very good) or it'll languish forever on my harddisk. Sadly, work has mangled my brains severely over the last month or so, so I have no idea what I just wrote, let alone whether it works.

( Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing )

Fic summary: Post-AC, barreling down the road to the reconstruction of Shinra Company. A Hero, a President, a new world, and the politics that draw them all into a tangled web beyond all ability to forecast.

Chapter Summary: In which there is even more running away, and a lot of stubbornness.

A/N: I still live! Short(er) (relatively) chapter this round – it’s only the first paragraph of my chapter roadmap, but if I didn’t break here, I’d be writing for another small eternity before the chapter could be released! Thank you all for your patience.

[FF7] Pathfinder - Chapter 3
Rating: PG-13 - Status: Incomplete - Warnings: Implied drug abuse
Characters: Rufus, Tseng, Veld, Vincent
Timeline: FF7, alternative universe.

Summary: [AU] Sierra, they called him. And Tseng had been appalled and embarrassed to find that their vaunted Junon informant was just a kid, probably all of sixteen... Rufus Shinra, severed from the Company and his destiny by events so secret and buried so far in the past that not even the Turks are aware of them, takes on a different role.

A/N: Could have done much better on the entire delivery of this thing, but, well. Might redo this entire bit later.

For liriaen.

[FF7] Pathfinder
Rating: PG-13 - Status: Incomplete - Warnings: Implied drug abuse

Rufus Shinra, severed from the Company and his destiny by events so secret and buried so far in the past that not even the Turks are aware of them, takes on a different role.

A multi-parter fic, incomplete. For liriaen, because she is an evil, evil enabler. And I swear that I cannot support any more massive epic fics of doom, so this one is going to be short. Short! I swear it on Tseng and Elena's ID cards. 10,000 words, tops.

A/N: I have no experience writing this particular genre, nor a particularly wide exposure to it. Don't laugh, okay? D:

( Round 1 )

I want to title this 'Why El cannot write smut'. Because Rufus will inevitably inevitably degenerate into snark instead. I wasn't sure whether to post this, but hell, there was no fic last week, so I might as well. It's not good, but it might be fun.

[FF7] Saturday Mornings
