Author has written 1 story for Final Fantasy VII.

Hello All,

My username is ShadefortheSoul and I'm returning to FanFiction after a six or seven year hiatus. I didn't bother with the old account mainly because I would rather not be associated with my angsty former self at this point in my life. I'm now in my early twenties and at a good place in my life.

Since my hiatus, lots of things have changed in my life. I'm in a stable, healthy relationship, I've earned two bachelor's of arts, been accepted into graduate school, and moved to a different state. Though all these changes are fantastic, I made the disturbing realization that these days I no longer read or write for anything other than academic purposes. I am making a concentrated effort to re-introduce these back into my life, hence my latest FanFiction, "Spells for the Spirit."

This story idea hatched back before I left FanFiction several years ago, and in my teenage naïveté, I denied that my OC paired with Vincent could ever be a Mary Sue. Well, now that I am older and wiser, that idea has evolved, and I've done more research so I can have a proper and more feasible story line nestled into the overall FFVII timeline. I pushed back the start of the story nearly 100 years rather than doing numerous flashbacks, and I think that was the correct choice.

The relationships in my new story (hopefully someday stories), be they friendships or otherwise will reflect that no person is perfect, but they may be exacitly what the other needs in their life. Relationships are complicated and messy, sometimes they work while others don't. That's life.

I've don't think this story will require anything more than a "T" rating, but if for some reason that does change, I'll let you all know with a rating change and perhaps a note at the top of the chapter.

My goal is to update at least once a week. That may change depending on chapter length, time it takes to develop and properly configure each piece of the story into the grand scheme, and of course what life throws at me. Overall, I'm happy to be back. I hope you enjoy what I've done and will post I the future. Thanks for reading.
