Roads Diverged

Title: But The Past Ain’t Through With You
Author: ivoryandhorn
Fandom: Original – The City Adel
Pairing: Pevi/Ivahn
Rating: PG
Warnings: swearing, light m/m
Theme: Cosplay #12: gangsters
Notes: ~2500 words. It took me four tries to hit an angle on Pevi-and-Ivahn-are-gangsters that really appealed, but I think I’m finally happy with how it came out.
Summary: Leaving’s never as easy as you think.

( The newspaper rustled as Pevi tossed it on the coffee table, front page prominent: beneath the loud headline was a smudgy photo of what was undeniably Ivahn’s father, looking like he was heading out for a evening stroll and being led away in handcuffs. )

Fandom: FFVII
Characters: Vincent, with Cid thrown in for free!
Rating: G
Theme: 12 gangsters
Warnings: Might not be worksafe if your coworkers are major homophobes, since these two are a little friendly. Nothing that would warrant a higher rating though.

For the theme "gangsters." Since Vin would look pretty silly with grillz and saggy pants, here is a bit more old fashioned look. With free bonus Cid in an outfit shamelessly stolen from Humphrey Bogart. Background by 44 suburbia.

Title: Smooth Shuffle
Author: cleflink
Pairing: suggestion of Elena/Tseng
Rating: PG
Warnings: violence and an OC narrator (though he's really not that bad once you get to know him)
Theme: #12 - gangsters
A/N: A little bit of 1920s slang - a speakeasy was an illegal, underground locale for partaking of a drink (or three) during the Prohibition. Everything other than that should be pretty easily understood.

Summary: 1927, Chicago. One of Big Man Maud's men goes out to dig up some dirt on the Shinra gang.
