Title: Uncertainty
Characters/Pairings: Selphie

Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: I feel like there should be a warning but I'm not sure what it would be.


SeeD was something that some people strove to be, once they heard of it. Something to fill them with determination and drive - for whatever the reason.

After Selphie became SeeD, she was ecstatic. After saving the world, she was euphoric for a period of time.

All of that happiness and joy came to a screeching halt; instead she was filled with dread and uncertainty. No longer was the brunette upbeat and cheerful.

No longer was she certain of her future and Selphie felt more lost than she did while in Time Compression and all because of a positive pregnancy test.

Title: Father's Wishes
Characters/Pairings: General Caraway, mention of Rinoa

Author's Notes: even fathers have plans

I had hopes, dreams - plans even, for Rinoa. I wanted so much for her.

If I could have, I would have shipped her away from my sort of life. Protect her from her thoughts that war was something good.

She never seen the ugly side of war - not how I did. Even with the Sorceress War, she still gushes about how things are going to be better.

Does she not see the broken dreams? The future plans gone awry? No. Of course not. She hasn't become jaded and bitter by life's ruined plans.

Maybe she can stay ever the optimist.

Title: Relinquished Proposals

Author's Notes: i had issues with dreamed/dreamt.

She had planned to fall in love, planned to get married and live happily ever after.

One might say that one out of three isn't bad, but it was, by her standards.

Squall was married to his job and their happily ever after didn't seem so happily or very ever after. She wasn't even sure if Squall even loved her anymore or if he kept her around because she was a Sorceress.

She felt betrayed by her plans, the plans that seemed so much like a childhood whimsy that was dreamed up in the lap of her mother.

Relinquished proposals.

Title: Saviors

Author's Notes: this might be something that's the tip of the iceberg. damn it.

It was said in hushed whispers through the halls of time and space where Guardian Forces reside that there would be Saviors, of a sort who would free their kind from Sorceresses who held them captive.

Shiva, who deemed herself strongest, arrogantly stated that she would one day be paired with the strongest of those Saviors, if they proved themself worthy.

Countless many came and failed. They could not free the chains that bound them but Shiva knew, felt it in her icy bones that the time was coming and her plan to be with the strongest would be nigh.
