Prompt: MPreg
Author's Notes: Yes, I loved this prompt when it came up, but I can't believe that I forgot our least favourite scientist when dealing with weird science.

Hojo scowled at the latest test results, muttering darkly, “All my work, ruined. His hormone levels have always been a little out of the normal range, but this? This is ridiculous. It can't be right. Although there is that hair – and the lack of it, but mako usually inhibits body hair. And his looks, really, much more suited to a girl, but surely I would have noticed something before this. I must run more tests..”

Sephiroth growled impatiently. “Hojo, I have work to do, so just tell me what the problem is.”

Hojo glared. This was Sephiroth's fault. “You're pregnant."

Prompt: Photograph

He was still trying to blink away the spots the flash had left in his vision as he accepted his new ShinRa ID card, still warm from the machine that made them.

Private Cloud Strife, it read, ShinRa Security Forces. That part was perfect – he was on his way to joining SOLDIER. But the face in the photo was still just him, skin tinted pale yellow by the printer, with freckles standing out across the bridge of his nose. And his hair flew in all directions, despite the time he'd spent trying to get it to sit flat.

Cloud sighed.

Prompt: Photograph

The photo was tucked behind the others on the mantelpiece, as if to escape notice. But Cloud had noticed, because it showed a man wearing SOLDIER uniform. He had spiked black hair, a sword much like his own slung across his back, and an infectious grin. Cloud was certain he should know who it was, but the name remained stubbornly out of reach.

“Who is this?” he asked. Aerith looked at photo, then back at him, a flicker of disappointment in her eyes.

“Just someone I once knew,” she said, smiling sadly, as she took the picture from his hands.

Title: Don't Swallow

Author's Notes: Because Nibelheim is a backwards kind of place.

“…the doctor said I’d have to go off the active duty roster,” Cloud said mournfully.

Zack stared at the results of the trooper’s recent physical and wondered why nobody ever warned him that SOLDIER treatments apparently gave you super sperm, capable of doing the impossible.

He realised perhaps he wasn’t being as sympathetic and supportive as he should be when his boyfriend announced he was unexpectedly pregnant. He looked up, to see Cloud looking at him with big, apologetic blue eyes.

“I’m sorry, Zack!” he cried. “I’m sure I didn’t swallow any watermelon seeds!”


Title: Bundles of Joy

It was just like Genesis, Angeal though as he laid the last of the triplets in their cradle, that if he was going to do something highly improbable, he’d do it with flair.

When his lover defected from ShinRa, he’d never dreamed it was because he was pregnant. But when Angeal found out, there was only one honourable thing to do. And looking at the three little boys, one of them with red hair, and one with black, he couldn’t help but feel proud.

Still, he had to ask.

“Genesis, why does this one have silver hair?”


Title: Celebrations

Author's Notes: Because we all know mako makes these things happen.

“We give every new SOLDIER class the same warnings, and there are always some who don’t believe us until it happens to them,” Lazard said sternly. “But I never expected to be having this conversation with two of my generals.”

He hated these conversations. Angeal looked as stone-faced as usual, and Genesis was actually smirking.

“Still, I can understand getting carried away celebrating the end of the war. Genesis, you will be removed from the combat roster immediately -”

“Excuse me, Director, but I’m not the one who’s expecting.” Genesis’ smirk grew a little wider.

Angeal blushed.

Title: Domesticity
Pairing/Characters: Tifa
Team: AVALANCHE
Rating: G
Word Count: 100

Once Tifa thought the most exciting thing that could happen to her was to be rescued by a handsome SOLDIER. Then she’d learned waiting to be rescued didn’t work, and fighting her own battles was much more satisfying.

Now the only battle she fought was getting Marlene and Denzel up for school. She thought she’d escaped the domestic role expected of every young girl in Nibelheim, only to find herself taking care of two kids (neither of them hers) and a man (who she was occasionally grateful to say wasn’t really hers either). It wasn't fair.

Author's notes: Could be considered to follow from the above.

Tifa reached into the hamper and pulled out another bundle of clothing. The sheer reek which came off it had her first thinking Denzel, because young boys got into all kinds of things regardless of how messy they might be.

But these pants were much bigger, with what looked suspiciously like claw-marks tearing open one leg, and the almost-black stains had to be blood. And who knew what those green and brown stains were. She was torn between disgust and jealousy: Cloud had been fighting monsters again. Without her.

“Dammit Cloud, from now on, you can do your own laundry!”

"If he's going to make an impression at the ball, he needs a really big sword," the black-haired one stated grimly.

"It's not the size, Angeal, it's how you wield it," the silver-haired one smirked. "And it's a ball, not a battle."

"Nonsense, Sephiroth. High fashion is definitely warfare," their red-clad companion declared. "Luckily I have the perfect outfit, and some lovely glass slippers to match."

"How's he supposed to dance in glass shoes?" Sephiroth sighed, exasperated. "They'll break, Genesis."

"Uh, guys?" Zack asked, staring at the three one-winged strangers. "Who are you, and why are you in my bedroom?"

The Big Bad Wolf looked at the red-cloaked figure making its way through the forest, and licked his lips hungrily.  It wasn’t wearing a hood, which was traditional, but the long black hair made a nice change from all those insipid blondes. As she drew closer, he decided she looked really pretty, even if that hair could use a good brush.

He stepped out from behind his tree. “Hey, little girl -”

There was an offended snarl, and a flash of red, glowing eyes.

As he lay dying, the Big Bad Wolf muttered, “The blonde ones never have claws…”

The inn was nothing special, but it was out of the way and didn't cost much. Zack could appreciate a real bed, even if his companion didn't notice.

He looked at the still figure on the other bed. With those eyes closed, he could pretend Cloud was just sleeping, and there was nothing wrong. When those blue eyes were open, it was impossible to look past the emptiness there.

He leaned forward, and placed a kiss against unresponsive lips.

Cloud didn’t stir.

Zack sighed. “If this was a fairytale, we’d be living happily ever after by now, Spike.”

Title: Pretty Woman.

Author's Notes: Place Transvestite Joke Here (Miss Cloud Rule) If the male lead is required to dress up like a girl for any reason, he will be regarded by everyone as much more attractive than any "real" girl. If the female lead cross-dresses as a man, she will be immediately recognized as who she is by everyone except the male lead and the main villain.

Don Corneo was still playing his silly little games.

This time, Cloud refused to wear a dress. Tifa was both annoyed and relieved. Cloud was prettier than most guys, but that didn’t make him prettier than her.

She felt a little guilty about letting Yuffie come, too, but the ninja wasn’t exactly helpless. Or pretty.

She was still puzzled as to how they’d ended up with Cid in a dress. She thought it had something to do with him accusing Vincent of having a girly face.

When he was chosen, she didn’t hesitate to attack Corneo.
