OH, GOD, MAKE IT STOP. I finally wrote out the first chapter of my AU story. It's up right now under the title "Project Reunion." Yea, I know. Totally original. Whatever. Anyway, please read and review it!

Review this, too, please. 8D Sorry it's short. I need short!


Nanaki never had felt pride when he came to his father. For more than half his life, he believed his father to be a coward who abandoned his mother to die. After his grandfather had explained things, he had never felt as foolish as he did when he learned the truth—his father sacrificed himself to save his town, his body turning to stone with the poisoned arrows that struck him.

After a fierce declaration that he would live up to his father's proud name, Seto—his father—had cried despite the fact that his body was stone, the tear drops hitting the ground before Nanaki's feet. Now, even centuries after the destruction of Midgar and saving the world from Sephiroth, he always made sure to keep his head below his father's whenever he visited him.

His father was more of a hero than he was.
