On a tous déjà plaint Angeal de devoir traîner avec lui deux boulets atrophiés des sentiments, et de devoir les séparer dès que l'envie de se taper dessus devenait insoutenable. Oui, parce qu'on a tous plaint ce pauvre Angeal. Et parce qu'on ne sait pas à quel point son calvaire a été de taille. Transformé en recueil d'OS.

A general who only wants to make up for his past mistakes, a science experiment who only wants to be a hero, a bar owner who only wants to get back what Shinra took from her, a coal miner who only wants to build a better world, and a flower girl who only wants to make people happy. Individually they're nothing more then pebbles in Shinra's shoe. Together… they could be an Avalanche

She got his hands, moved him in the rhythm of the music. Reno felt stupid doing this, but she was so happy, he never actually saw Akane so happy and carefree for all the time. They were moving in sync, saying nothing. World was spinning around them. He rested his chin on her shoulder, but didn't go further, it was enough for the moment.

When Cloud chooses to take Aerith on a date at the Gold Saucer, Tifa concludes that he's just never going to see her the way she wishes he would. Barret, noticing how upset she is, decides to get a drink with her to cheer her up, leading to something neither one of them would have ever expected.

She had only asked him for a favor, just a little innocent something between friends. But now Cloud was pulling away from her, running whenever she got close! It was just too bad for him, Tifa always got what she wanted. Or yandere Tifa maniplulating Cloud's life for her benefit. But out of love, of course.

"So devoted." Genesis looked at him. "You remind me of myself, back then. I can tell you what Shinra did to my friends and myself, I couldn't recognize my own reflection in the mirror." ... Reno rose his rod, the best weapon he knew. He was standing before his enemy and his eyes were full with obvious threat. "People who caused this to you are dead. And you are delusional."

Helena, saved by her sister Kathelyn from Shin Ra's clutches, must hide from a much more deadly threat. A threat looking for the Black Materia. A threat looking for the spell to cast Meteor. Funny enough, Helena knows where to find it.

But when a failed terrorist attack pits him against a Fal'Cie Crystal, he'll find himself pitched on a mad transcontinental quest to kill a God before it kills him.

"Why are you so devoted to these people, since they brought hell in your life? You could be with the woman you loved, instead they put you in a tube and turned you into a thing not a living creature would look upon!"

Une étrange rencontre l'attend alors. Une rencontre qui le replongera dans ses souvenirs, mais pas que... Fanfic écrite il y a 25 ans et remise au goût du jour pour coller "un peu plus" à l'univers actuel :)

"The End is the Beginning" Introduction It was under heavy rainfall that Vincent Valentine arrived in Nibelheim that evening. The small village, whipped by the winds at the foot of Mount Nibel, had hardly any inhabitants left, so he encountered no one as he made his way through the town to the mansion. Facing the imposing wrought iron gate, his metallic claw resting on the large

Lessons learned from ages past inevitably fade into the fog of forgotten history, and now the President of Shinra stokes the flames of war once more in his search for the Promised Land. Amidst the rising tensions, a Human boy and half-Cetra girl meet, grow up, and struggle to prevent the Planet from being engulfed yet again by war.

Reno placed his palm to the screen and it turned red. -Activation confirmed. Launching in five, four, three- The explosion that followed made the entire valley tremble. A green beam of mako energy was shot into the sky. Land started cracking, rocks shook, some collapsed on the ground.
