General Caraway contracts SeeD to go on an undercover mission in Deling City to uncover a ring of recent kidnappings centered around wealthy married women. Rinoa isn't happy to be left behind on Caraway and Squall's insistence, especially when Squall and Quistis are pretending to be a married couple. (Squinoa, but also SquallxQuistis, IrvinexSelphie, and poor Zell is on his own.)

Rinoa and Squall – If deception was your only chance at happiness, how far would you go? A truth that forever haunts one, a petal among lies that destroys the other.

Follows after the end of Final Fantasy VIII, focusing primarily on what happens to Selphie as she jumps into a new mission to help rebuild the mess that is Galbadia after the Second Sorceress War.

It's been four years since the end of the Second Sorceress War, and finally Selphie feels it's time to take that long vacation all the others already have. She goes to the orphanage, all repaired and glorious again, to relax for seven months. The caretaker, however, is someone she does not expect: Seifer Almasy

You looked toward the sky and asked for the stars and moon to accept you. I, with my rough dirty badger fur, passively hoped for you to succeed. You were ignored, but one star, far far away, already dead but for the tiny stream of light straggling through space at 299,792,458 meters per second just to reach me, heard me. We were connected forever.

Rinoa is given a weekend trip to an exclusive resort/spa on the northern coast of Esthar as a birthday gift from Quistis and Selphie. Unfortunately, neither they nor Rinoa was aware that the spa offers more than simply beauty and wellness packages to its clients...it also offers male companionship.. with Squall included on the menu...AU story Written for WiB Inspired...

Ficlet for a January 1st, 2014 challenge; prompt was "Here I dreamt I was a soldier." There are days when he wakes and remembers nothing. There are days when he wakes, and remembers everything. Set post-QoAT.

Selphie gets to grips with Irvine's reasons for leaving Garden, and seeks a way of changing the organisation from within. Hopefully, it won't be as gloomy as that sounds!

When Rinoa finds a leather black diary she's enthralled by the charming mystery writer. Desperately seeking to find the diary's owner, Rinoa realises that her fantasies may never come true, as Squall now lives only in the memory of others. AU

Without a father for 17 years, Squall didn't think he needed one anymore. Can a man as embarrassing to him as Laguna find a place in his heart? (Regular updates)

Seifer has been given a second chance. Estharian authorities have decided that he has twelve months to become SeeD or he will be executed for crimes against humanity. It was Cid's idea to take him back, does Seifer have what it takes to become the SeeD he has always wanted to be? Meanwhile, The Witch Hunt has begun again. SeiferxOC Rated M for subject matter later on.

Back at Garden, Seifer acquires a mysterious injury. And Squall wants to... help? (Seifer/Squall, Post-game, Rated for language and blood)

His finger was hot on the trigger, there was blood in the air...and he reveled in it.

It will be a cold day in hell before Seifer Almasy apologizes for anything. Seifer/Rinoa, after.

Filling in the blanks as to how Quistis knew Martine "quite well."

AU. Squall reflects on what really matters when he meets a stranger at his mother's bar. Maybe, Laguna got a few things right after all.

Drabble prompt from Oberin: "this is without a doubt the stupidest plan you've ever had. Of course I'm in." Seifer and Quistis drown their sorrows after the SeeD ball.

Dicen que la calma precede a la tempestad. Se creyó que después de derrotar a Artemisa las cosas volverían a la normalidad. Pero no sólo se debe acabar con los monstruos y las brujas ¿Verdad?

Xu offers Seifer a kinder end than he deserves. [Phoenix Rising]

[SCRAPPED] Formally known as Final Fantasy VIII Book One: Hybrid Theory. Eleven years later, this story is getting a face lift. Leo is a new student at Balamb Garden. She had wanted to become a SeeD since she was a small child like her father. Being accepted into Garden was her ultimate dream come true. She is immediately thrust into a world of exams, missions and battles.

If life is a cycle, can there ever be peace? The heroes are back at Garden, and are ready for life to lead them into the next stage. However, a darkness bred from fear and hate threatens to uproot the lives of sorceress and knight; a darkness that veils a nation and echoes through the world.

After the war, Seifer is living a half-life with damaged memories and no direction, but being called back to Garden to account for his crimes changes everything. Getting there is half the battle when his biggest weakness is holding his hand and lives are on the line, but Seifer has never backed away from a challenge and he's not about to start.

They call him The Sea Walker, and there are worse things he could be. He holds himself together by holding onto her. [Squall, and witches at the end of the world.]
