BRIEFLY

Genre: It will vary from chapter to chapter, so we'll have to go with 'General'.
Language: English
Fan Fiction Rated: T (Will also vary between chapters).
Summary: A collection of individual one-shots, musings and drabbles involving just about any character of the FFVII universe I feel compelled to take a peek at.
I figured it was better to have one big place where I collected them instead of spitting out a bunch of unrelated one-shots that take up way too much space and just look generally messy. Way too messy for most people to have the energy to sort through. So… this is the result of that. I'm sure you'll notice which characters I tend to favor as the chapters start coming in, but there's not much I can do about that. Personal taste and all. Anyway, I hope it'll grow into something big over the years that I can look back on and be proud of. And even if it doesn't, at least this very first chapter is set in stone. Enjoy.
A/N: First up is Sephiroth during the famous Nibelheim fiasco. Getting inside his head when he's like that… so broken and bitter, it really brings a person down, I tell ya. Hopefully a bowl of ice cream and some cocoa can cheer me up.
Genre: Angst/Friendship (or lack thereof)
Fan Fiction Rated: K+
Characters: Sephiroth
Spoilers/Timeline: FFVII, Crisis Core, Last Order and anything else that has conveyed The Nibelheim Incident. But seriously, if you haven't played the game, what are you doing here frolicking in its fan fiction? It's a perfectly good question.
I – "I don't need saving."
Have you come here to stop me? Punish me for my murderous crimes? Or did you perhaps hope to save an old friend? You always were incessantly positive, weren't you? And stubborn. Admirable traits, I'm sure, but trust me when I tell you none of them will do you any good here.
It's quite simple, although I sincerely doubt your vacuous human understanding can grasp it.
I don't need saving. And this... friend you're looking for is no longer here for you to find. He's moved on to better things, left the pathetic illusion of friendship and other trivial human matters behind. My whole life has been nothing but a pointless lie, my years spent and – up until now – utterly wasted as ShinRa's manipulated pawn in the greedy war and games of the traitorous human race. It is only now that I have woken up for the first time. It is only now that I am seeing the world for the toxic wasteland it truly is.
I don't wish to fight you, because the truth is, you have done me no harm. But if you insist on getting in my way I will kill you. You simply don't matter to me. Because when it all comes down to it you are nothing but a simple, insignificant human being - just another traitor – and I pity you, Zack Fair, SOLDIER First Class.
