Title: Project C – Omake?
Fandom: FF7
Rating: M for language, and I don't want young children to get the wrong idea about sexual relationships… and computers. Really.
Warnings: AU from the very beginning… and end?
Characters: Zack, Cloud, Rufus, Reno.
Summary: The last Project to resolve that one last problem in FF7. Hardcore Sci-Fi. Features Zack x Cloud, Rufus x Reno. Not to forget, Angeal, Genesis and Sephiroth as well.

A/N : Due to formatting restrictions, this chapter will look crappy unless you do the following (I'm old-school, I know) :

1. Copy and paste the chapter into Notepad. Alternatively, paste it into some word-processing programme and set the font style to "Courier New, size 10"

2. Change the round brackets in "- )" to angle brackets.

3. Ignore the full stops (periods) that precede each line. Pretend they're dot-matrix print-outs or something.

4. If you want the original chapter its fully-formatted glory, feel free to contact (see my user profile).

A/N : In case anyone's wondering, I've caught the fluffy Zack x Cloud bug. Damn. So my other fic ideas, including the Evil Z-centric one – went straight out the window and seventy floors down the Shinra Tower. With a new job, a new promotion and tons of real-life issues coming up in 2008, I don't know if I'll be able to continue any of my fics. But do R&R – that helps encourage the muses :-)

Anyone interested to take up any of my fics and continue/write a sequel… please feel free to do so. Just give credits where due, that's all that I ask for :-)

A nod to ol' MS-DOS, Starflight II, Might & Magic and oh, Ai no Kusabi too, if you managed to squint hard enough.

This fic is dedicated to the few who didn't like Evil!Rufus from my other fic, "Fulfilled Desire". So here you go, a NotSoGood!Rufus… Kya hah hah!
