ahaha. Found on a kinda parody-type-LJ thing:

All rights reserved, all wrongs deserved.


... yeah, I'm bored. *flops* Tried writing the promised drabbles, but blah. Next time, no crossovers, and nothing about anyone outside of Team Seven, and maybe Itachi and/or Neji. :p ZOMG PEOPLE HOW DARE YOU CHALLENGE ME WITH THINGS OUT OF MY NICE, SAFE, EASY COMFORT ZONE. ([livejournal.com profile] silverkiiri : I've been writing on the ItaSasu with Sasuke crossdressing as a waitress, I hope this will do.)


(I feel like FF7. rec me a good cloud-centric fic plz? or sephiroth. or zack. OR THE THREE OF THEM. I like Aerith; Tifa is cool but kinda not all that interesting. I like reading about SOLDIERs, too. Already read [livejournal.com profile] chibirisuchan's, [livejournal.com profile] ciceqi's and [livejournal.com profile] shadowrival's stuff. oh and god, if madam hydra finished anything, i would be in heaven, but. yeah. Maybe the day I finish Garou and start in on its sequel. XD Oh, and does anyone know of a GOOD FF7/FF8 crossover? I'm picky about cross-fandom pairings too...)

Ohhh - good authors are [livejournal.com profile] konitsu also at http://www.fanfiction.net/~konitsu - has a wonderful FF7/FF8 x-over fic and [livejournal.com profile] ciceqi for hilarious FF7 Z/C/S fic also at http://ciceqi.slashcity.com/

*blush* I noticed that just after I posted the comment - can I blame it on just having woken up? :> In apology I'll give you another fic rec - at http://www.fanfiction.net/u/132965/ - very good FF7 fic

Are you reading [livejournal.com profile] miko_no_da's FF7 fic? ZackxCloud, pre-game and a lovely Sephiroth. It's lovely.

[identity profile] chibirisuchan.livejournal.com 2006-04-02 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Ditto on the rec there, and she's a REALLY fast updater, and she's within a couple chapters of done, so if you want to read one all the way to the end, this one's going to be done probably sometime this week based on existing update rates. (23 of 25 chapters so far, and they're LONG chapters too, so plenty of reading there...)

How much of the "classics" have you read? (i.e. people who wrote stuff like three to five years ago?) Here's two recs I've found from that era in particular:

http://bishink.org/bishink/ff7.html - BishInk.org - started in like 2001, and the authors (including [livejournal.com profile] feartotread) are still writing stuff for it. As in, new fics in the last couple weeks. ^_^ (Helps to really REALLY like the Turks, though.)

A Long Hard Road (http://www.eukaryotic.dreamhost.com/NewFiles/LHstory.html) by TwigCollins, who's got an LJ with some variation of that name, possibly underscored somewhere -- mental impression from having read it like 2-3 years ago include: massive levels of angst, sometimes going past drama into melodrama, and the occasional OC alert, but it's all Cloud and Sephiroth and for the most part pretty well written... just don't read if you're in a "Grave of the Fireflies would really mess with me right now" kind of mood! (sweatdrop)

Definitely check out Miko-no-da then! I've got a couple other recs I can probably give you once I've slept enough to remember names and fics and put them together... my brain is on middle-of-the-night goofballhaze atm though...

The author herself already pointed out they are more best friends with benefits than lovers. And Seph's not that close, but he's awesome anyway. Go read it, I second that it's good.

I can't give any specific fics, since it's all out of my fandoms, but I know [livejournal.com profile] laylah has written a hella lot of Final Fantasy stuff, and those three names look familiar. Most of her stories are short-ish.

[identity profile] lissiel.livejournal.com 2006-04-03 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
yeah- all of laylah's stuff, ff7 or not, is wonderful.

Was in the middle of posting a pimptastic reply to this when we kind of had tornadoes. ^^;; Six hours later...

anyway, if you're in the mood for hot spicy boypr0n, check out her community precious_stones. Historical fantasy universe focusing around an extremely steamy male brothel. And if some of the characters seem familiar, well, they're probably anime and game cameos who've had their serial numbers (and clothes) lightly filed off. ^_~ Playing spot-the-cameo is as much fun as drooling some days; so far I've spotted characters from Advent Children, Bleach, Saiyuki, Fullmetal Alchemist, etc etc etc. I have my suspicions about a couple possibly being from Digital Devil Saga (if that's the name of the game with the characters I'm thinking about) because she fics this game that I only know through her fics (and tend to occasionally forget the name of the game, but not the fic characters, for that reason)...

since it's close to 3 a.m., I should really get on trying to find a drivable route to work tomorrow, but I have NO idea where to start looking for the information... ^^;;

It's Gen but I found it very good. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2657423/1/
It's a SOILDER fic with mostly Zack and Sephy-chan but splashes of Aeris and Cloud at the end. And nay other fics by this person is good too! ^-^!

*grins* Hehe. At first I thought I wouldn't like it but now it's one of my faves. And there's no slash but it made me love/want the SephZack pairing! >>;;

(Anonymous) 2006-04-03 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Give this one a try: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/846875/1/

Cloud, Seph, and Zack, with Reno as a secondary char later on. I'm sort of foggy on the plot, but I remember its some sorta time travel thing. Usually I aint a fan of yaoi/shonen ai fic, but this one's one of the exceptions.

Too bad Knowing Shadows hasn't updated in half a year.

[identity profile] ponderosa121.livejournal.com 2006-04-03 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
:3 yesss [livejournal.com profile] laylah, she does a bit of zack/cloud, although probably more clones and turks stuff.

you should read her omg hot zack/cloud with bonus quasi-incestuous overtones though: Little Brother (http://laylah.livejournal.com/193165.html)

(Anonymous) 2006-04-03 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, or this one: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1803569/1. An actual humorous Zack & Seph fic (with some Cloud on the side), set during the war with Wutai.

Nicolle's summary: All is not quiet on the Wutai front, as Sephiroth and Zack do everything possible to screw off and not run a war.

[identity profile] acechan.livejournal.com 2006-04-03 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm...if you've got a Zack fondness, and especially a Sephiroth/Zack fondness, try Lunar's fic. It's been a while since she's written much, but these are the sort of fics I love to come back to over and over again, and is not unlike Ciceqi's fluffier stuff.

Moi, j'ai rien à te proposer, c'est juste pour te dire merci parce que grâce à toi j'aurai plein de jolies choses à lire dès que j'aurai envie de lire du FF7 X3 (surtout que j'ai jamais exploré le fandom de FF7 en anglais, juste FF8... tant de contrées inconnues @_@)

Hey, random lurker here (though I do love your work dear, always nice to read gay boys who're still manly and dying to prove it) and you'll probably hear from me again. I'm just shy is all.

Mostly I wondered...Kingdom Hearts? *is in euphoria over Kingdom Hearts II* I haven't read so many FF7 fics as Kingdom Hearts, so it's hard to rec, though Knowing Shadows has a nifty fic called Fusion http://www.fanfiction.net/s/846875/1/. But yeah, if you do Kingdom Hearts I could point out a few yummy instances of Cloud x Squall/Leon. Even a little Sephiroth, though I think he suffers from Itachi syndrome, he's iffy to pair up. *loves him like mad anyway*

Anyway, happy hunting and thanks for sharing your talents out in the open. Talent is hard enough to find without all the good artist/writers going into hiding; we pitiful lurkers ought to be humbled by your generosity.*kissluvs*

Hiya! I don't really know you, but thorne wrote some really cute FF7 fics.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/324274/1/ Thursdays is about a *cough* typical day in the life of Cloud, Seph and Zack in a sort of AU of if everything had gone the way of yaoi fangirls.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2210781/1/ Behind Closed Doors is also set in that universe and is really cute, happy and all around much fun and giggles.

She has some other Cloud/Zack/Seph fics that are more serious and angsty, but also really good.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1768917/1/ Untitled 5 by xblackstatic turns the tables on most FF7 storylines and is just an interesting plot idea which I can't really explain without ruining, so just go read! XD

Hello, not quite sure if anyone's recommended these but it's pretty decent Cloud/Sephiroth.

Chi to Ase to Namida (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/482217/1/)
pre-game AU with Zack, Cloud and Sephiroth.

and the post-game sequel...All You Can Know (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1594478/1/). Though the sequel feels a little draggy somewhat to me.

Short one-shot that makes a frightening amount of sense when you think about it.

*laughs evilly* She finally got dragged into the fandom, FL did. *huggles her Seph*

Didn't take long to get swarmed in fics, did it? *amused and has read more* Come to the darkside. You know you want to produce lovely FF7 prettiness as well. We have cookies, too.
