“Fair, you need to be more cautious in the location of your meetings with Strife,” Sephiroth said as Zack strode into the office. The SOLDIER paused, staring at the General in confusion.

“What brought that on? And why?” A copy of the inter-departmental newspaper (gossip column) dropped onto his desk.

“SOLDIER SiC Having Affair With Underage Cadet?” read the headline, and he choked.

“…he’s going to kill me,” he groaned, dropping his head onto the damning newspaper with a thump. “Shiva, I’ve got to find him before he sees this, to explain. Otherwise my sex life is toast.”

“He’s bleached his hair, but there’s no mistaking that profile!” gushed an excited Barb Newberg as she showed this reporter her photographs.

Friends, I have always been a skeptic on these things, but the likeness is more than uncanny. Though his hair seems more silver than any other color, he looks as though he’s found the Fountain of Youth: if this is indeed The King, the ravages of time have fallen away from him with astounding grace. He’s wearing what seems to be a black leather jumpsuit, and those signature sideburns are unmistakable.

Dear readers, I think we’ve found him!

“Why do you insist on reading that trash?”

Zack looked up from the tabloid in his hands. “I’m seeing if I can figure out their inside SOLDIER source.” He waved the paper in his hands at his mentor. “Some of this is true –”

“But most of it is not.” Angeal sounded irritated, probably because Zack was wasting time.

Zack nodded. “Still, this one is interesting.”

Angeal looked at the paper. “SOLDIER Makes Men Gay.” His lips twitched.

The Second grinned. “Didn’t you tell me it was a rite of passage for SOLDIERs to have wet dreams about Sephiroth?”

Title: Wedding Announcement
Author: freezing_rayne
Rating: PG
Characters: Yuffie, Vincent
Prompt: Tabloid Fodder
Team: Turks
Words: 100


Uh, Yuffie? Is there a reason the tabloids say that you and I are getting married?"

Vincent hands her the magazine. She looks at it, snorts, tosses it on the table.

"Don't worry about it. This has to be the fourth time the papers have announced my wedding. It happens when you're a princess."

Vincent nods, scratching the back of his head. "Any reason why it's me, and not Cloud or Reno, or any of the other men you know?"

Yuffie shrugs. "Well, it could be because you're the only one who doesn't look gayer than a barrel of monkeys."

Title: Photo-Op

Lord Godo pitched his voice low. "President Shinra, you must understand - my daughter is eleven and very strong-willed." He eyed the cameras arrayed in a semicircle around them: all Shinra-owned and operated by the company's PR department, not that that made him feel better.

"Oh, don't worry," President Shinra smiled, placing a corpulent hand on the princess's shoulder as a photographer lined up his shot. "Little Yuffie and I will get along just f-uuuuck!"

The startled photographer clicked the shutter, forever capturing the scene: an enraged President bleeding from the teethmarks in his hand as Yuffie runs away laughing.

Well, since yohjideranged went though all that work, I should try out my shiny new tag, should I? Not sure if this is what you meant by the challenge, but I couldn’t resist.

Author's Notes: *shot for this*

It wasn’t easy for an Ex-SOLDIER to get work, but Kunzel had a way with words, and a gimp leg didn’t stop that. It wasn’t hard finding with news of late, between Sephiroth sightings and claims some newbie jockey had beat Teioh at the Gold Saucer. The hardest part for him was coming up with the blasted headlines. It had to be something that would get the readers’ attention, but nothing he had thought of so far seemed right for this one. Wait – I’ve got it! He typed, grinning all the while.

ROCKS FALL. EVERYBODY DIES.

Well, last week sure had both SOLDIER and Avalanche squaring off for the trophy. No matter how hard SOLDIER pushed, Avalanche was always there in the shadows trying to steal that golden cup away from them.  But at the final hour, SOLDIER managed to pull out 790 points to keep their precious award on their mantelpiece. Avalanche did their best with 610 points, giving out to sheer exhaustion in the end with a cry that could be heard through all of Midgar -  "Damn those SOLDIERS and their stamina!"  The Turks managed to gather 100 points for themselves, proving that they are still in the game no matter how much they are shoved around.

This week's prompt is #48 - Tabloid Fodder

Top ShinRa SOLIDER has Alien Baby!  Midgar Infested with Jenova Cells!  Genesis Rhapsodos Opens the Sacred Church of Loveless! General Sephiroth Fighting Baldness - Wig Cover-Up Unveiled!

Tabloids - some people read them, some believe them, and others just look at the headlines in the supermarket line.  One juicy story and the subject is swarmed with paparazzi!  

Whether Cloud has an illegitimate love child; Tseng is back from the dead (like Elvis); Reno is accused of being anorexic; Zack Fair is doing strange things in drug rehab; Yazoo has an alien lover - no matter what the tabloid fodder, you must write it in just 100 words!
