No True Pair

So I'm trying like MAD to get something up by the 7th for the bunnies that bit me particularly hard, only three more of them want to be epics and I can't get five more fics written tonight even if I staple my brain to the keyboard. But I did get a bunch of 'em written by aiming for drabble-length and generally managing to stay somewhere under 1000 words... First post of several incoming.

Title: Rules of the Game
Author: chibirisuchan
Fandom: Vagrant Story and FF7
Pairing/characters: Sydney and Zack
Rating: PG-13

Prompt/challenge you're answering: "Sydney and Zack play a game or sport together."

( ficbits here )

Title: From the Casebooks of Strife and Riot
Author/Artist: Sleeps With Coyotes
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII and Vagrant Story
Pairing/characters: Cloud and Ashley (Ashley/Sydney and implied pre-Zack/Aeris/Cloud)
Rating: Worksafe
Warnings: Aeris has clearly watched The Maltese Falcon one too many times.
Prompt: Cloud and Ashley: they fight crime!
Notes: Total AU, really
Summary: They can solve your problems, but you have to get past the secretary first.

( Everybody came to them if the problem was big enough. )

Title: Hit the Ground Running
Author/Artist: Sleeps With Coyotes
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII/Vagrant Story
Pairing/characters: Cloud/Sydney (past Zack/Cloud/Aeris, past Sydney/Ashley, and something about Sephiroth)
Rating: Worksafe
Prompt: Cloud and Sydney with the title, "Hit the Ground Running."
Warning: Oh yeah, baby, Ivalice rocks my world, past to future.
Notes: OMG, Cloud in Ivalice = MUST HAVE! *coff* Uh, other than that, this fic ambushed me in strange ways. I was thinking about the prompt, happened across a Portugal. The Man song that just happened to have "hit the ground running" as part of the lyrics, and this thing came veeeery close to being about snake oil and old-time-relijun revival tents, but...well, Sydney hijacked my brain. As he tends to do. So you get this instead.
Summary: It's sort of like a pilgrimage, but with property damage.
