Are You Game?

Title: Crumbling Down
Author: jlsigman
Rating: G
Word count: 160
Prompt: Final Fantasy VII, Reeve: the fall of Sector 7 – It shouldn't be like this
A/N: Originally due Oct. 16

There was nothing he could do, and that hurt most of all.

Reeve had only heard about the plan to drop the plate a few moments ago, overhearing Reno's voice as they passed in the hallway. For a moment Reeve had frozen in shock, not wanting to believe that something this horrific was anything more than the Turk shooting his mouth off again. Several frantic phone calls soon had him throwing up in his office trash can.

After he washed out his mouth in the bathroom, he went to find a place in the Shinra building where he could watch it happen. That was his penance for not being able to save anyone. So he stood in silence, hands clenched at his sides, tears running into his beard, and watched the plate kill untold thousands of people as it crashed down.

It was then that he decided he hated, and that he had to do something to make it right.

What a good round! We were graced with some really wonderful fiction and art. Congratulations for a job well done.

Today, I bring you the community time-line:

This month (November) - the community will remain open for any of you that lost momentum during the October round or just had life careen into you at top speed - you may certainly post any late fic that you're still planning to write this month. I am sure the readers won't mind. I will just add them onto the November Fic/Art List as they are posted (which hopefully will be posted this coming week).

December - I will post a list of the retiring prompts. Feel free to grab these at will - no claiming needed - and post the finished work to the community by December 31.

January - we will start another prompting session for the short February round. Feel free to start thinking up your prompts now! ^_^


Again, thanks to all the writers and artists that have contributed to areyougame not only in this round but in past and future ones. You are the reason why this community is successful!

Prompt: Tifa: AU – Tifa is the Soldier First Class and Cloud owns the Seventh Heaven 
Summary: She had been searching for her true purpose in life for a long time, and she found it after meeting a man who lived in Seventh Heaven.
A/N: So many apologies! This baby is so late, it’s not funny. I meant to have it out on time, but school made things far slower than they should've been. I really hope this is to everyone’s liking and that it's not too incomplete or choppy. Also, it wasn't beta-read, so I'm really sorry for the errors that I know snuck away from me. Just consider this Tifa's very own(but abbreviated), "Crisis Core." Also, I don't write much action, so if it's a bit lame, I'm sorry about that too! Enjoy!

Title: A Moment to Be Real
Author: fairbreeze
Rating: Hard R for sex.
Warnings: Spoilers if you somehow haven't seen Advent Children, I guess?  Otherwise, none.
Word count: 3164
Summary: She'd spent so long being stronger than she'd felt inside, to be as strong as Rude and Reno, to deserve to stand here, next to the President.  Well... maybe not quite here, next to the President...
A/N: For the prompt: Rufus/Elena: sleeping with the boss - As long as the office gossip didn't catch up, who cared? Late by longer than I'd like, but that's life.  With this fic, I wanted to see how far I could take both characters from how they're normally portrayed in fandom while still keeping them within the boundaries of what their canon characters allow for.  I really like how this turned out, but it's NOT your typical Rufus/pick-a-Turk fic.

   

 

Title: Throne Room Whispers
Author: jlsigman
Rating: PG
Warnings: innuendo
Word count: 142
Prompt: Final Fantasy IX, Zidane/Garnet: sex in public places - the threat of getting caught was half the fun
A/N: Late, late, and even more late.

“Zidane!” It was more a squeak than a whisper, barely worthy of a queen, and Garnet blushed.

A low chuckle deepened the color in her face. “We have plenty of time before the court comes in,” he breathed before gently licking the outside of her ear.

She gasped at the sensations and squirmed closer to him despite herself. “But someone might show up early,” she finally managed to whisper, completely ignoring the fact that she was nuzzling his neck.

His tail was softly wrapped around leg just above the knee, lifting the dress so that his hands could roam freely. When it brushed her hip, she gave up all pretenses at protesting and kissed him until they were both breathless.

Later, during a usually dry court function, one noble whispered to the other how wonderfully colored their queen was.
