“What in the hell is that?

Sephiroth frowned, looking down at his yet-untouched plate. “It's my meal, of course.”

“Tch.” Angeal sounded rather like one of the mothers on the sitcoms Sephiroth watched off-duty. “It's... No, you're not eating that, I don't care where it came from.”

And with that the meal, which had been sent up from Hojo rather than the cafeteria, was dumped into the wastebin, and Sephiroth found himself seated in his kitchen, his Second Class friend setting about throwing something together from scratch.

Hojo wasn't pleased when Sephiroth refused to eat anything else afterwards.

Project Sephiroth leaned against the cool tile wall, seeking relief for his fevered skin. They'd injected him with a poison half an hour ago and left him alone in here to let his body fight it off on its own. He knew he was winning because it was easier to breathe now, and he could hear voices on the other side of the wall.

"...Hojo? Really?"

"You know what a control freak he is. Of course he'd use his own kid for Project Sephiroth."

Project Sephiroth staggered to the middle of the floor and ruined the experiment by throwing up.

He'd played the loyal warmage, casting destruction at the President's whim, and while the department heads were still bickering over their new weapon he'd stolen a Restore. Sephiroth pulled it forth now, in the darkness of his quarters. It nestled in his palm with a half-heard purr, flickering playfully with the glow from his eyes. Closing them, Sephiroth brought the cool crystal to his lips and cast.

The magic danced through him and he gasped, the sensation too new for a moment to be pleasurable, but as it faded Sephiroth curled up in a comfort he hadn't known he wanted.





Title: Little By Little
Pairing/Characters: Sephiroth, Aeris, Zack, Cloud
Team: AVALANCHE
Rating: G
Word Count: 100

For Aeris, for whom death had been a minor inconvenience, coming back to life had been no more effort than walking out of a cool spring; not so for Sephiroth. He was still incomplete, voiceless, his body weak and slow to respond.

That was why he was grateful that Aeris let him help her cook. He stirred the dressing, rinsed the lettuce, watched the water and touched Aeris's sleeve when it boiled. When Zack and Cloud returned for lunch, they kissed her cheeks and proclaimed she'd done it again.

"We did it," Aeris corrected, her smile teasing Sephiroth's into bloom.





Title: Snowball War

"Look alive, boss!"

Sephiroth had started moving even before the shout came, turning and drawing his sword to split the projectile in half. It disintegrated, spraying him with brief cold pinpricks.

"Wrong tool for the job," Zack called merrily, waggling a second snowball at him. "I warned you there'd be a snowball fight!"

He had at that, Sephiroth remembered, the moment they learned they'd be posted together in the North. He flickered two fingers, sending the merest drop of Ice magic floating through the air to slip down the back of Zack's shirt.

At his Lieutenant's frantic yelp, Sephiroth smiled.





Title: For Just A Little Longer

It was a comfort to know that the Great Sephiroth woke up just as human as anybody else: he had morning breath and tangles in his hair too, and was barely coherent before coffee. Even Cloud woke up faster.

Still, in a moment the older man would leave their shared bed, shake off his humanity and shackle himself into his leathers again. With a possessive hum, Cloud hooked his leg over Sephiroth's and pressed his mouth to the back of his neck. He felt the General grumble and subside, leaving only Sephiroth to curl like a cat in his arms.

He met her at the edge of the Sleeping Forest, where soft dirt gave way to fragmented shale. She startled when she saw him, her ginger braid swinging at her back, and curled her fingers against the bark of a tree as if seeking strength from it. "It's not time yet," she blurted.

Sephiroth let the point of his sword drop almost to the ground, very deliberately. "Lady Cetra," he said with only a hint of a smug smile, "I know that very well."

Aeris pulled herself together and nodded firmly, and side by side they entered the Forgotten City.

Author's Notes: Expect lots of lighter fare and fixit from me and deepbluesquee this week, because that's just the kind of fangirls we are. ;)

Most people didn't bother getting General Sephiroth anything for his birthday. Yet one year, Sephiroth opened his door to a gaggle of bright-eyed secretaries and a brightly-wrapped package.

"We all chipped in," said the ringleader. "We know you don't have many civilian clothes. Now go try it on."

The shirt was bright and cheerful and didn't suit him at all, but Sephiroth decided to be grateful for the sentiment. "Thank you," he said, and attempted a bow.

The shirt promptly ripped out at the yoke. Amid squeals of mingled dismay and guilty delight, Sephiroth executed a strategic, if hurried, withdrawl.

"Boss!" Zack called, one arm shielding his face. Damn, Seph was right by that thing when it blew... He found his way back to the engine room and peered into the pitch-darkness inside. "Boss! You okay?"

The response came back faint but steady. "Yes. Just stay there." A moment later Sephiroth emerged from the black, bleeding from a hundred shrapnel wounds. Zack surged forward to catch him by the arm. "Shiva's tits, Seph, you're a pincushion."

Sephiroth shook him off wearily. "I'm not so much punctured," he said, plucking a piece of sharp metal from his flesh, "as inadvertently decorated."

"Are you certain you wouldn't rather accompany Heidegger on his tour of Junon?" President Shinra asked offhandedly.

Sephiroth heaved a sigh. "It is a heavy sacrifice," he said. "But one I am willing to make for the Company."

"Good man." The president patted his general's arm. "Well, then, I'll leave you to your fate." He tottered out on the arm of the secretary-of-the-week, leaving Sephiroth behind to face the door of the forbidding complex as it opened.

Later, reading a story to a half-dozen orphans and allowing them to cuddle under his coat, Sephiroth allowed himself a smug, satisfied smile.

Title: Reunion
Challenge: Sephiroth
Characters: the Remnants and their God
Team: SOLDIER
Word count: 100
A/N: I’m going with the theory that all three of the Shinentai merged together to bring about the return of Sephiroth. Considering what happened in the tunnel and then upon the bridge, I don’t think these two were in the best shape when Kadaj triggered the Reunion; can’t help but wonder if that tipped the scales at the end.




No! It’s too soon!

The realization clawed its way through Yazuu’s brain as the wrenching power of the reunion came over them. He clung to Loz, feeling his own essence shift and lift and separate.

The Three must now become One.

But, we’re not ready! I’m weakened, Loz is wounded! Yazuu thought frantically, almost willing to resist, to hold himself here, hold his brother here.

Loz smiled as his form scattered, his pain diffused into the One.

Yazuu closed his eyes and let himself follow. Sephiroth is the God, after all; the weakness of the parts should make no difference…

Writing letters can be a competitive business.  SOLDIER was bombarded by email from Kunsel for 50 points and possession the trophy this week.  Avalanche and their 30 points came in second with all those bomb threats they gave the ShinRa Company.  And finally the Turks had a few choice words in the form of hate mail and letters of resignation which earned them a good 20 points.

This week's prompt is #64 - Sephiroth

Get ready for some sword swinging, planet hating, leather loving drabbles!  It's Sephiroth week.

Who is Sephiroth?  What is the man in leather really like?  How does he feel about Jenova?  How much shampoo does he really go through in a week? Where did he get such a long sword?  What does he do in his spare time?  Does Genesis and Angeal get him into trouble?

Drabbles can be from Sephiroth's point of view or just about him from afar, but they must include Sephiroth somewhere in just 100 words.
