Are You Game?

Title: A Raging Emperor's Banquet
Author: dogemperor
Rating: 15+ at least in the US. Possibly 18+ in Commonwealth countries due to violence.
Warnings: Yes: God-emperor who has completely lost faith in humanity (and in part lost his mind) and is now in full kill-em-all/"CHARLIE'S IN THE TREES" PTSD mode. Description of the death of a significant other via Carronade. Description of what it's like when the vestigial empire calling you buggers up the summoning, with descriptions of genuine Nightmare Fuel involving Deis' and the Dragonslayer's respective botched summonings. Depictions of being run through with a sword and consequences including the violent beheading of a usurper. YE BUTCHEREDE OLDE ENGLISHE BY THE HOGSHEAD because this is the first time I'm attempting to write extended stretches of the pseudo-Elizabethan English that Fou-lu speaks in in-game.
Word Count: 3445, not counting author's notes
Prompt: Breath of Fire IV, Fou-lu: disillusionment - examples of the folly of mortals
Summary: For potentially the first and last time in his life, the royal court chronicler proves useful to the God-Emperor.
A/N: This is meant as a semi-sequel to A Little After The Dream. As with that fic (and damn near every attempt I have ever made to write any fic involving Fou-lu) historical and full author's notes are in an appendix due to potential spoilers. Be forewarned that THIS IS NOT A HAPPY FIC and that we are about to explore a very dark teatime of a certain god-emperor's soul.

I rather hope this was close to what was intended--Fou-lu's sentiments regarding humanity by this point, I fear, go rather beyond mere disillusionment. :P

( It was the job of the court chroniclers to record every moment of the lives of the monarchs of the Fou Empire. Even their worst moments )

Title: Whiskers for a Kitten
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core
Characters: Angeal/Sephiroth
Rating: PG13
Word Count: 287
Prompt: Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, Angeal/Sephiroth: hair fetish - he was fascinated with the idea of facial hair

Rating: PG13
Word Count: 440

Title: Letters Home
Author: joudama
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Rating: PG
Warnings: none
Word count: 3,370ish
Prompt: Angeal/Genesis/Sephiroth: first impressions
Summary: Well, he promised he'd write.
A/N:  Sorry this is late! It was due on the 9th, but work went psycho crazy the last few weeks and I've been pulling a lot of overtime--my wallet will be happy, but I've been a little stressball. All that meant, alas, no writing time for me. ;_; There was a lot more I wanted to do with this, but it was already late, so... ;_;

This is stand-alone, but it fits into my "In This Together" Gen/Angeal backstory series.  You don't need to have read any of it to get this, although it will help you get some throwaway references a bit better. >:D

Title: Family Traditions
Author: dogemperor
Rating: PG/T
Warnings: Potential squick warning for mentions of human trafficking, definite squick warning re a certain canonical incident involving a Manillo being massaged by a Wyndian princess
Word Count: 365
Prompt: double dealing - follow the money
Summary: War profiteering could be VERY profitable sometimes...
A/N: Yes, rather a bit more of a drabble, then again, this is writing exercise. Besides, Marlok is kinda fascinating, if sleazy.

( Marlok is the very model of a modern Manillo salesman )

Title: The Product of an Overactive Imagination (2/2)
Author: faicinn_rocais
Rating: T
Warnings: Reno, some language
Word count: 1,898
Prompt: 10- Final Fantasy VII, Reno: antics - It didn't make sense not to live for fun/your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb
Summary: Reno being Reno.
A/N: I think I'm having too much fun with this. The conclusion. Snow report: got 6" yesterday night and we're scheduled for another 8-12". Woo~!

( ...Cloud had always been an asshole since he got away from Hojo, Reno mused... )

Rating: T
Warnings: Reno
Word count: 1,124
Prompt: 10- Final Fantasy VII, Reno: antics - It didn't make sense not to live for fun/your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb
Summary: Reno being Reno.
A/N: I think I'm having too much fun with this. Since it's just after midnight of 2/11--and this being due on 2/10--I'd figure I'd post this and post the rest of it when I post my next prompt on the 12. Enjoy~! (PS: How're y'all that're living in the US likin' the snow? Where I am we got 2 ft on Friday night that barely got cleaned up for the 6 or so inches we got today. I'm in Pittsburgh right now and they have no idea what to do with the snow. Me, being from upstate NY--fingerlakes region--am having a blast!)

( Reno froze, foot mid step still in the air, eyes wide, as an idea came to him. )

Title: All In
Author: GuiltyRed
Rating: PG13 (language)
Warnings: none
Word count: 2440
Prompt: Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, Zack/Nero (order doesn't matter): General Badassery (car chases, fights, etc) - "There is a reason why no one messes with the "creepy kid". "
Summary: The enemy of my enemy is my friend – if he’ll agree to the terms.
A/N: I’m taking the canon appearance of Weiß and Nero from “Crisis Core,” and trying to work it to make sense of some of the stuff from “Dirge of Cerberus.” Also, making a guess as to the origin of the Tsviets in relation to Restrictor here.
