This story takes place in game and resolves a few plot holes. Once complete, this story will be part one of a two part series. The second part will deal with the aftermath of the second sorceress war.

Squall is lost to time compression…Laguna grieves.

They thought they were just going to watch a movie together. Little did they know that their bond would be tested.

[Post-Game / Squall / Slow Burn] When does one become greater than the sum of his mistakes? Reeling in the aftermath of all that could have been, Squall Leonhart—a year shy of thirty, weekend father, and disgraced SeeD—is left to examine a lifetime of failed attempts at happiness, all while trying to overcome the demons of his past. (Full Synopsis in Prologue)

Accepting a destiny of greatness and never faltering in her belief that despite appearances to the contrary on far too many occasions, Selphie always felt everything would be all right in the end. She doubts now. The end is over, and all is not right.

Once upon a time, there was no ordinance in the world that could stop his glorious love for her. Written for #ficwip Hey, Sweetheart 2024: "Use the pet name 'sweetheart' in fic or art."

"Yeah. It's just-" He shakes his head, trying to find the right words for what he's feeling. Something warm, something caring, something… cherished. Something he's not quite sure he deserves. "I don't think I deserve it, I guess." [or, the day Squall and Rinoa started using pet names for each other.]

He may be more open to her, but he is still sometimes closed, his feelings are sometimes still jumbled, and he still has a hard time expressing himself, as if he doesn't know the right words for the things he feels. There are times she knows she can't hold him too tight or he feels suffocated, and she respects that. It's part of loving him.

Squall looks at him, and then at his girlfriend, and then at him again, and when his eyes finally settle on Rinoa he sighs, as if defeated, squeezing the bridge of his nose between his fingers. "Hyne," he mutters, and he does sound a little defeated. "I swear only you two could manage to bond on your crazy plans that somehow inexplicably worked."

A pardon doesn't promise reintegration. Quistis finally gets around to returning Hyperion and gets more than she bargained for. Language.

Astride Sleipnir, and wearing Odin's pale armour, the Destroyer of Garland bludgeons his way through Dollet's war-torn second city, which is bolstered by the mobile Galbadia Garden and the timely arrival of Tyris Almasy and Ballad Deling.

Quistis and Seifer have a moment of truth at the beach.

A mere month after hearing the shocking news of his parentage, Squall is invited to Esthar by everyone's favorite Desperado to celebrate Ellone's upcoming birthday. Laguna struggles with trying to lay the foundation for a relationship with his son, while Squall just struggles with Laguna in general. (Loire family fluff, but mostly Squall/Laguna oyako centered.)

After a short peacetime, a new global war commences. A previously unknown Sorceress emerges during the fallout of Esthar's cataclysmic Lunar Cry to seize power, resuming Adel's campaign for world domination. Twenty years later, only Galbadia remains unconquered. Balamb Garden is no more, the surviving SeeDs scattered to every corner of the world. (NOW ON HIATUS!)

She doesn't need to say it, and yet she wants it out in the open, she wants to shed her skin as he did back then, make herself vulnerable so he knows that she loves him, so deeply, so thoroughly, so unconditionally, and so he knows how grateful she is, how humbled, and how honored, because he is the true force holding her scattered, badly-glued pieces together.

Quistis is looking for another promotion. Zell is looking for some action with that cute library girl. And Seifer? He's just looking for trouble.

There are two kinds of mistletoe: the one where you kiss and the one where you fight. Written for #ficwip A Picture's Worth 1000 Words: "Write a story in exactly 1000 words, based off the image prompt."

Irvine's dying. Why? There's a flower growing in him all because he's in love with someone. Someone who he thinks doesn't feel the same. That someone? Squall Leonhart. Coward that he is, Irvine refuses to speak up. But a push from Seifer and some coughing episodes later causes Shiva to get involved to wake Squall up to his own emotions, and Seifer has a secret.

Sequel to: Snow Drift. It's been a good many years since the incident with Irvine Kinneas's presumed death. Squall can bask in the reality of his newly created family. Only problem is... a quiet scream of question. What happened to Kait's mother?

At seventy she understands things she didn't get before, and she knows that old Centra woman was right. You should tell people you love that you love them.

She loudly coughs, as he moves to pat her on the back, and when she raises a hand to signal she's ok, he sits back, crossing his arms. "Hyne. You make me glad I didn't ask in a restaurant. You'd have embarrassed me." [written for the Squinoazine!]

Balamb Garden mercenaries are trained to help those in need in any given situation. However, Zell doesn't know what to do... especially when he's the only one who sees her.

[Part II of "Baby Is…" Mini-Series] Pre-Game Canon Divergence AU: Seifer continues to yearn for Instructor Trepe.

Rinoa, a girl whose been through a lot, moves to Balamb with her mum after she discovers her boyfriend has cheated on her. Once there she meets a group of people who will change her life forever. AU

There's a moment of silence, and she keeps looking at him while he absentmindedly plays with a pencil on his desk planner. He wants to tell her what's really wrong, but would it be worth it? He doesn't want to disappoint her, and still, he feels so ill at ease.
