    Summary

    Rufus Shinra grows up, and learns to live in a world of his own making.

    I don't claim this to be anything groundbreaking, but it's what I wrote.

    Many of the events are adapted from Before Crisis, but that plot is not followed precisely. There is more fidelity to the events of The Original Game and to Advent Children, in terms of plot but maybe not in terms of dialogue.

    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    So funny and embarrassing story: I'm back in the fucking building again (loving Rufus and his rights and wrongs unconditionally) after I saw his card in the Final Fantasy Magic the Gathering collection. I saw him and I started crying(??????????) Anyway, I was compelled to look up fics since it's been a while and I'm so glad I did because I loved this to pieces. 10/10 tysm OP.

    Summary

    It's not the same as before.

    He can sort of remember it now, a childish fantasy borne of a broken home and a desperate loneliness, but there's no emotion attached to it beyond a vague sort of pity.

    It's a bit like reading a report:

    Peeta Mellark, 74th Victor of The Hunger Games, in love with Katniss Everdeen since he was five. Unrequited.

    Summary

    Jayce inhales sharply as his lower lip wobbles. What he wouldn’t give to be back in the dingy physics building, suspected asbestos and poor ventilation included. What he wouldn’t give to be sharing a cup of coffee with Viktor over their kitchen table.

    What he wouldn’t give to be with Viktor again.

    Or: After a fight with Viktor, Jayce goes on a week-long hike to clear his head in the misty April air. Someone else comes out of the mountains six months later.
