( Sephiroth drummed his fingers on the arm of his chair and fought not to scowl. )

well, it's 12:04 a.m. here! XD

Fandom: Final Fantasy VII and Violinist of Hameln
Pairing/characters: Zack Fair and Hamel
Rating: Your children would love this.
Warnings: Boundless imaturity.
Prompt/challenge you're answering: "Go on, make yourself comfortable."
Notes: The art is not great in this - it's little more than a colored sketch - but it is pretty much how I see these two interacting with each other.

Title: Save the Queen
Author: eider
Fandom: Final Fantasy XII & Final Fantasy Tactics (all Ivalice, all the time)
Characters: Marquis Ondore, Meliadoul Tengille
Rating: PG
Warnings: None.
Prompt/challenge: "captivity scenario (kidnapping, prison guard/inmate, etc.)"
Summary: A case of mistaken identity, doubly so.
Author's notes: AU, but it's hard to say; perhaps it could have happened. For FFXII, set after the opening movie but before the game itself. For FFT, set just before Meliadoul joins the party. I had... way too much fun piecing this together; this unlikely pair of characters had an unusual bit of synchronicity. Teleportation is time magic, after all.

( Marquis Halim Ondore was intrigued. )

Hey, look, I got it colored after all! (It went much more quickly than I expected it to.)


One wonders what would cause someone so devoted to gallantry to work for the mafia, ( but I suspect the answer is 'life' )

Title: The Stony Face of the Past
Author: White Aster
Fandom: Final Fantasy 7/Getbackers
Pairing/characters: Cid Highwind/Akabane Kuroudo
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: HEAVY AU. Like...really AU.
Prompt/challenge: captivity scenario (kidnapping, prison guard/inmate, etc)
Author's Notes: I am not sure if this was one story...or two. So if it gets disjointed, or something doesn't quite make sense...I uh...am not surprised. I also know just about nothing about how prisons are run, so if my descriptions are off, my sin is a sin of ignorance! Also also, I so wanted there to be porn, but Cid was too suspicious, and Akabane too polite, and I refused to do non-con, so yeah! Instead we get the most understated UST ever. >_>

( Nostalgia paints a smile on the stony face of the past )

I'm going to resist spamming the no_true_pair community with all 5 parts of this, and post only the first chapter today to let people know it's here, and then a sum-up post on the last day with all five parts. ^_^ I hope you all enjoy! This turned into a monster, but I had a great time writing it.
