    Surely nothing can go wrong...

     

    Right?

    Summary

    Badeni had only himself to blame for this predicament. If he’d never flipped open the cover of Oczy’s book, driven by incredulous curiosity, if he’d never skimmed that first page, and then read it again and again, increasingly unbalanced by the spread of sincere words in an awkward hand, he would never have known what was churning away in that inexplicable man’s head. He’d never have known just how much their meeting had meant.

    Summary

    “Drop your foolish façade, darling… I know you’ve been dying to kiss me.”

    When an act of vengeance causes Lycaon to fear for his old friend’s life, he insists on becoming Mockingbird’s temporary ‘attendant’. But perhaps it was too naïve to think that he could re-enter his former partner’s life and simply… control himself.

    After all… teasing his restraint has always been one of Hugo’s favourite pastimes.

    Summary

    Lycaon’s single eye widened as he read the context of the message. There was no greeting. No context. No attachments or links. Just a single line, sitting in bold font in the middle of the screen.

    [ SOS. 12.3872N 139.2045W ]

    A glaring distress signal in bold font. A set of coordinates. Only one person knew that code. Only one person could’ve sent this message.

    And that person… was in danger.

    - - - - - - - - - - -

    An unexpected and accidental reunion led to a race against time.

Obviously, an adventure like that must be documented.

    Summary

    Dear Ionian Tourist Department,

    I am writing to inform you that your country is lovely. It was one of the most mystical places I've ever had the pleasure of traveling to, and trust me, I've done quite a fair bit of traveling, so if I'm saying that yours is the most mystical, it's actually, for sure, the most mystical. However, there is one really big... hulking... incredibly stupid... issue that I think you may want to reconsider including as part of the Ionian traveler's bundle. Seriously, the "all brawn, no brains" era for men's attractiveness has come and gone... like, long gone. So, if you could kindly take this Boss guy back so that I can continue living my life as the super cool, awesome, greatest solo explorer of all time, that would be greatly appreciated. Yours Always, E.Z.

    Ezreal had dealt with many headaches during his time as the greatest solo explorer of all time but none were ever as large, loud, and brutish as Sett, the Beast-man Bastard. Whether they like it or not, a common goal, enemy, and a little spray of blood brings these unlucky men together on the adventure of a lifetime. But can they work together to survive the dangers of Runeterra or will they kill each other first?

    Summary

    “Welcome to Stormhail, Temenos,” he says, bowing his head just slightly.

    Not Inquisitor, but Temenos.

    He feels his heart soar. Perhaps he can remain good friends with Crick or more, after all.

    “I cannot believe I am saying this, considering my general disdain of the old flock of crows led by Kaldena,” Temenos says, straightening up and bowing his head in return. “But I feel honored, to have been welcomed here… Captain Crick.”

    Five years after their journey together, Temenos reunites with Crick once more.

    Summary

    After a scorching one night stand with Tifa, the last thing Aerith expects is to be is stuck on a week long road trip with her -- and her boyfriend.

    “So what am I, your rebound fling?” asks Aerith.

    “Uh huh.” Tifa kisses the curve of Aerith’s neck and fumbles blindly at the halter tie of her bikini top. “You got a problem with that?”

    Summary

    Cloud Strife opened his eyes for the first time in who knows how long.

    “Spike...?”

    Everything was blurry. He tried to blink but his eyes didn’t want to see. The world was almost too bright for him to handle.

    “Please come on… Spike?”

    His body was heavy, drowsy, as if he had slept for far too long. How long was he asleep for? He could barely feel the hard pelt of rain on his skin as he wiggled his fingers, and then his toes. He couldn’t even see past the blurriness that seemed to be a permanent part of his eyesight.

    “Cloud… please.”

    ---

    Cloud Strife wakes up just in time to see the love of his life die before his very eyes.

    Summary

    Instead of waking up in the church after his (near) death at the hands of Sephiroth’s remnants, Cloud wakes up on the wasteland outside of Midgar over two years before. Zack faces down Shinra’s infantry, and Cloud finds he has the strength to change history.

    But to do that, Cloud has to face it all again, while warring with his own splintered psyche. Fortunately, he doesn’t have to do it alone, if only he’d remember that.

    Summary

    300 years after the events of Meteor, a young explorer sets out from his hometown to find the ruins of a place that has passed into legend. Stories tell of the cursed city of Midgar, once a thriving metropolis in an era when humans harvested the very lifeblood of the planet to generate energy, create technology and even—so historians believe—turn human beings into living weapons.

    Plagued by strange dreams of a life he couldn't have possibly lived, Cloud Strife is determined to discover the truth behind those stories, pulled towards Midgar as if by fate. Accompanied by his childhood friend, he travels to those forbidden lands and learns more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    Cloud hadn't expected that the string of words on his arm would lead him to First Class SOLDIER, Zack Fair. Having such an impressive soulmate was beyond intimidating, especially since Cloud couldn't even begin to measure up. Which was why he'd decided to keep his mouth shut and never say a word. If he never said the sentence that was printed on Zack's arm, then Zack would never know the truth of the matter. Unfortunately, the more Cloud tries to distance himself from his soulmate, the more Zack focuses in on him. Until it feels like he can't go anywhere without running into the good-looking First Class.

    A story of how they met, how they were meant to be, how they lost, and how the planet decided that maybe second chances are okay every once in a while.
