Here I am, to spam you more~

Title: Perks 1
Characters: Barret
Team: SOLDIER
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Series: FFVII
Author's Notes: One day I'm going to switch teams.



A lot of people wouldn't understand.

But for Barret, this was for more than just random destruction. It was more than bringing Shin-Ra down after what they had done to his home, to his family and friends. It wasn't even about revenge.

It was for his daughter.

Someday, she was going to grow up, and have a family of her own. And he wanted a world for her where she didn't have to worry about her babies getting sick, or worse.

While the job was thankless now, watching his baby grow up happy was all the perks he really needed.


Title: Perks 2
Characters: Reeve
Team: SOLDIER
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Series: pre-game
Author's Notes: Won't that be nice and confusing.



When he was younger, Reeve had always wanted to be a great explorer.

Unfortunately, a kid in Midgar rarely does anything like that. Instead, like most the people he knew, he joined Shin-Ra, rose in the ranks, and ended up in charge of a department.

Then he discovered the best perk about it.

He got paid to go poke around in odd corners of Midgar, finding things nobody else had seen in years, if ever.

After he built Cait Sith, it only got better. The robot could go where he couldn't, and he could watch it all.

Best job ever.


Title: 2 A.M 1
Characters: Aeris, Zack, Cloud
Team: SOLDIER
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Series: pre-Advent Children
Author's Notes: *pets them*



Zack sighed as he watched Cloud twitch slightly in response to unknown dreams. Next to him, Aeris frowned.

"I know it shouldn't be a surprise, but, damnit," the man said, eyes drifting to Cloud's arm, where the marks of Geostigma were finally starting to form.

If Cloud could have heard them, Aeris would have swatted Zack for disturbing him. Instead, she brushed her fingertips over Cloud's hair, barely making it move.

"We'll fix it. We have to."

It wasn't just Cloud who was sick, after all. She just had to convince the Planet that it was safe to cure them.


Title: 2 A.M 2
Characters: Lucrecia, Hojo
Team: SOLDIER
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Series: pre-game
Author's Notes: Creepy factor rising



"You should be in bed,"

Lucrecia glanced over to the doorway, then back to her computer. Hojo moved closer, glasses reflecting the light of her monitor. "I have a few notes to finish. Then I'll be up."

"It's not healthy for the child."

Neither was injecting him with unknown cells, but some sacrifices had to be made for science. "You are a scientist. You, of all people, should know the importance of good note taking."

The slight smile told her she had won this round. Which meant not much sleep tonight.

Hojo was always intense after he had lost conversations.


Title: Children 1
Characters: Cloud, Vincent, Nanaki, ocs
Team: SOLDIER
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Series: post game
Author's Notes: *cackles* Poor Cloud



It was odd.

Beside him were old friends. Vincent and Nanaki both glanced back at Cloud, then at the others who had decided to follow them against a newly resurrected Jenova.

Gods forbid if they let anything happen to Marlene, or Denzel. At least they had lived through the original Sephiroth battle. Tifa and Johnny hadn't even been together, let alone their daughter being alive. Cid and Sherra had known one another, but their son was even younger than the girl. Having Rufus's daughter and Tseng and Elena's son didn't help.

If he could have sent him home, he would.


Title: Children 2
Characters: Tifa, mentions of others
Team: SOLDIER
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Series: post game
Author's Notes: All sorts of poor parents



It should have been them.

Her husband's hand tight on her own, Tifa watched, heart in mouth, as Cloud and Sephiroth battled again. This time, the madman wasn't alone, monsters of all sorts boiling forth on his side.

And her daughter was caught in the middle.

Tifa had taught Angela everything she had known, but still...her heart froze to see her daughter in danger.

It wasn't any easier on the others, she knew it. Barret, Cid, Sherra, even Rufus and his Turks.

The world was supposed to be safe for their children. They had fought hard enough for it.



Title: Aeris 1
Characters: Gast, Aeris
Team: SOLDIER
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Series: pre game
Author's Notes: *gives Gast cookies*



She was so tiny as he held her, a light little weight that looked up at him with her mother's eyes and gurgled happily. At least he assumed she was happy, not just laughing at him.

Gast had never felt more clumsy in his life.

Or more proud of something he had help make. His daughter was precious, and he was already mentally shifting plans around. He had to go adjust the cameras, because every moment counted.

Her mother was definitely laughing at him, but Gast would get revenge on her later.

Right now was about holding his baby close.


Title: Aeris 2
Characters: Gast, Aeris, Ifalna
Team: SOLDIER
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Series: FFVII
Author's Notes: Kind of goes with the previous one, but only barely.



She was light, and he wished that she would eat more.

Mourning, Gast watched as Ifalna stepped away and let him move forward to hug their daughter.

She shouldn't be here. Not yet.

He had wanted his baby to grow up and have kids of her own. He had been hoping that since the day she was born, and despaired it ever happening as he had watched Hojo's plans.

He had held his wife tight and wished that she hadn't joined him so soon.

Now he did the same for his daughter, his mind full of "might have been"s.


Title: Unromantic 1
Characters: Tifa, OC
Team: SOLDIER
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Series: FFVII
Author's Notes: I shouldn't amuse myself so.



The first time she ever got turned down for a date, Tifa had been in shock.

She was the mayor's daughter, more than a little pretty, and had had her own group of followers that seemed to find her good company.

So when the boy she had been crushing on for weeks said no, she asked why.

"You could beat me up," he said. "Who wants a girl that's better at fighting than they are?"

For a while, she wondered if being able to fight was that un-girl like?

Then she resolved to go after a better class of guy.



Title: Unromantic 2
Characters: Elena, Rufus
Team: SOLDIER
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Series: FFVII
Author's Notes: I'm sure he has better manners than this, but who knows.



Elena stared at her boss.

"You want me to -what-?"

Rufus frowned. "I find myself having difficulties selecting a possible mother for my heir. I need you to help weed them out."

"Why me?"

"You're female. It should be easy for you."

The urge to smack the man upside the head was strong, but Elena managed to fight it down. No, he was still recovering from Geostigma. Bad Turk.

"Do you have any idea what you want?"

That got a small nod. "Someone who can breed a suitable child."

"Sir, we are going to have to work on your expectations."


And I continue on my attempt to break the 1000 points mark.
