fic-pimp post~

Bweeeeeee. joisbishmyoga wrote me a Heero ficlet and it's dark and gritty and WOOHOO HEERO. I love it. *rolls on*

---

¤ the other day shewhoflies made a rec post of her own and, well, she was right, I liked all four of those and for the reasons she mentioned (two FF7, one Zelda and one Seirei no Moribito). But i'm a whore for Cloud Goes Back In Time Somehow multiparts, so I'm especially reccing those ones -- "Take Me Back" by Sigart (mostly a genfic/friendship fic, but with background Cloud/Tifa; Cloud doesn't remember the past... um, future... um. He just doesn't. Very well-written and OMG THE LATEST CHAPTERS :DD.) and "Almost Karma" by BluWhispers (... very much yaoi, also kinda not as believable and over the top, but hella fun.) Both stories treat Avalanche/Tifa and Aeris well. More babble on the stories in the post's comments. Warning! Both are works in progress, alas and woe.

¤ urplesquirrel: First Church of Our Lady. This fic is JUST started -- only one chapter so far. But the concept is so awesome, it must have more loev.

Summary: Rebuilding is a long, slow, and arduous task. Even for a recently deified Goddess and her reluctant prophet, Cloud Strife. Post Advent Children, multiple pairings. Slight spoilers for AC: Complete.

Because clearly, Aeris was a goddess and Cloud is Her Prophet, right? Right. I'm torn between "aww, poor Cloud" and "AHAHAHA CLOUD". XD

¤ Aaaand a long one-shot, humor and pretty amazing -- The Art of Innocence by TwinTrouble.

Zack has returned, not from the dead, but from hiding. Cloud is relieved to see the old friend he had to keep swearing was dead, but Tifa and the others don’t quite get what’s going on… No slash.

This is a big comedy of misunderstandings. Poor Tifa trying to be understanding. XD;;;



It's strange but I don't read a lot in the Naruto fandom at the moment. Maybe because I have a much firmer headcanon for it than for FF7, where I can more easily enjoy whatever happens without going I DUN LIEK IT... Anyway today I was wondering why the hell I just stopped reading Mixed In With the Lightning of Slaughter (or whatever is the exact title, bad asuka not checking) because I read the first few chapters and they were amazing -- then I just... didn't continue when the next came along, I'm not sure why. But at this point maybe I'll just wait for it to be done... I dunno. .__.;

In Teamwork news, I have a Sakura scene that's ALMOST ready to post but... the middle doesn't work. I have no clue how to fix it and it's pissing me off. >:/

Doesn't help much that the next scene is Sasuke and, this is not a big spoiler (you guys might hurt me if I found a way to make it NOT happen actually), he's going to see Itachi in there. And I can't feel it at ALL. Canon utterly destroyed my OH MY GOD IT'S ITACHI FIGHT OR FLIGHT RIGHT THE FUCK NOW gut reaction, so now I don't know how I'll write that feeling convincingly in Sasuke's POV. Nrgh.

/whining because every other time i whined about being stuck in teamwork i magically got unstuck in the next day surely it'll totally work now I'm expecting it to work, right? *crosses fingers*

Heero! Gundam Wing! [drools on] ^_^ Um, when you say "rolls on" do you mean "moving on" as in changing the subject, or do you mean "rolling on top of" as in steamrolling in order to show your appreciation of this ficlet?

XD;;;

Second one. Imagine a cat and its most favorite comfy shirt (which also happens to be his human's favorite but cat hairs do SO look nice damn it and anyway i'm not sharing MY comfy shirt with a stupid hairless monkey.) Prrrrrrrrt *roll roll knead roll*. Basically.

I love the Cloud goes back in time stories too. I keep looking for more, (everyone says they're are tons) but I think I may have exhausted them all. Ditto on the Zack fix its. T.T

So I love it when you post recs or links to other peoples recs. I got into this fandom way too late it seems.

Yeah, there's some real gems in there. I don't even like yaoi, and I'll still read through yet ANOTHER Cloud/Zack or Cloud/Sephiroth or whatever with a smile on my face, because there's some damn strong characterization in 'em.

You could read the manga chapter where Sasuke surges with chidori against Itachi in front of Naruto. Itachi was the BAD GUY, and although Sasuke was still young, it wakes up that familiar feeling of "I hate you aniki, DIE". XD

[askerian]

ooh that's a very good suggestion. think i'll do just that! thank you.

(i'll just try not to think about how itachi must be torturing himself to manage to be so cruel to his brother... XDDDDDD)

[flowerflute.livejournal.com]

Itachi still scares the almighty shit out of me, I could help you with that scene?

[rosalui.livejournal.com]

Agreed. XD He freaks me out. ._.

[askerian]

aw, thank you ♥ I'll see what happens, but if i can't write it i might ask at that. XD *lovesquishes*

[gold-panner.livejournal.com]

I was totally having FF7 cravings the other day, and I went on ff.net and stared at the massive list... and realised I couldn't be bothered looking for the gold in the crap. Thanks for posting this~

[rosalui.livejournal.com]

WHOOHOO Heero fic. *_*

[midnigh-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Think of Itachi like a forest fire and then put Itachi's face to it. Or whatever simile you like for something that terrifies YOU. Like spiders, or whatever. Or tiny places. Or be corny and make Sasuke's reaction crazy extreme and then bring it back. It's always easier to make something way too much and then bring it back, rather than try to give it a little more, give it a little more, ya know?

Huh, surprisingly I never ready FF stories that have Cloud going back in time. Also that "First Church of Our Lady" sounds reaaaally good. I like how it sounds like she is going to play with "Eris is the goddess of strife" and "Aeris is the goddess of Cloud Strife" X3 I wonder if that was planned by the FF makers when making/naming them.

[shewhoflies.livejournal.com]

*blush* I'm very glad you liked my recs, although I'm not very good at giving reasons... Also, love for your recs. They are fun. ♥ As for being a whore for Cloud Goes Back In Time, aren't we all? ;-)

What is this, a Naruto timetravel fic you liked? Oh wow, gotta check that.

[illori.livejournal.com]

Hi!
Can I sneak a rec for you?
Have you read The
Fifth Act (http://sinnatious.livejournal.com/tag/act%20v) by sinnatious? Because it is one of the most awesome
Cloud-back-in-time fics I have seen. And I have seen a lot o them! And it is
regulary updated, too =)

[jakodisaer.livejournal.com]
