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.

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

Rating: PG
Status: Incomplete
Pairings: Tseng/Rufus, more TBA.
Chapter: 1/4
Warnings: None.

Notes: A re-write of the beginning of the Empire series, intended to replace chapter 1 and continue on for a few chapters, until about chapter 4. Re-write bears no resemblance to the first version at all. I offer no excuses, except for the fact that I prefer this version.

Summary: After the end of the world, the rebuilding begins. Amidst the ruins, those of the old world must embark on their own journeys to find their place in the new. Rufus and Cloud-centric.
