Folding Fan

I just woke up from an improptu nap, in which I had the BEST DREAM EVER. <3

( Final Fantasy 7/Kingdom Hearts/Interview with the Vampire Cracktastic fusion-thing )

Dear Subconscious,

Moar of this, plz. This was nice. <3

Lots of love,
Me

Bonus Corporate Shinra!Mitsuru, to go with the SOLDIER!Akihiko from earlier, for the AU that ate my brain. I picture Akihiko riding bitch on one of the company Motorcycles after work with her, down underplate to where Shinji is waiting for them because he refuses to move top-plate, even though they could. He's probably cooking dinner, which he'll actually eat. And then they can all go curl up in their giant, cobbled-together futon-bed thing with the really nice sheets mitsuru showed up with and neither of them could refuse. Er. Warnings for about half a boobie?

Second of the Yule-gifts from this year's meme. For Laylah, who I hope will forgive me my continuing inability to make Akihiko look like himself. >.> No warnings.

Probably y'all know the drill by now; a list of the Holiday themed fic I've particularly enjoyed (by no means an exhaustive list!) for my reference as the season goes on. You can consider this a recs list, since they're all things I loved and want to read again, and if you know of something appropriate that isn't on this list that you liked, feel free to say something. This is a work in progress.

By Chibirisuchan,
Mistletiptoe set, with the Supplemental Yule Kit. Z/C/S, having an office party.

By Ciqeci,
$10, Zack, Cloud, Sephiroth, and snowball fights. And prostitution, kind of.
The Mascot, from the 'verse. Cloud and Zack attend the New Year's festivities in Midgar.

By Harukami,
Completionverse, in general for happy ending and specifically for A Completionverse Christmas.

By Laylah,
Proper Christmas Dinner, Reno and Rude, cooking?
Mean Streets, from SDRnR. Not really Yule, but wintery and about coming home and learning to trust and the family you choose, so I'm including it. :P
Keeping Vigil(Locked to the Bijou comm), Little!Liam on his birthday.
Blessings of the Sunrise (Locked to the Bijou comm), Liam and Topaz celebrate the New Year
Not Afraid to Fall and Not Afraid to Rise(Locked to the Bijou comm), Topaz and Liam, happily ever after.

By Sister_Coyote,
Year King, Zack as a bite of cake, and discusses barbarous Northern customs with Cloud, Tifa, and Aeris. :Db

By Tenshi_no_korin,
Auld Lang Syne, Reno buys alcohol, visits some hookers, and introduces Rude to his family. I really love this story. <3

By Tiamatv,
Simple. Atoji, Atobe being kind of a twit, getting a kiss, and giving Jiroh a copy of the Nanshoku Ookagami. Er?
Sasowareru (To be Invited) part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4. Shishido spends Christmas with Ootori's family.

So. Once upon a time, there was this game called Final Fantasy 7 that rocked the alien xeno vibes like wow. After playing this game, Ciqeci posited that Mako gives you tentacles. Then, Chibirisuchan took that idea and RAN. <3. "Sephiroth had left hours before dawn, well before the first wave of the storm broke; he'd gone to the deep, where the shifting pressure and the bash and crackle of thunderheads couldn't disturb him. Aeris almost wondered if he'd gone back to sleep in the ocean depths -- if he'd made himself a thoroughly under-waterbed, maybe lined with soft seaweed, for the times when the storms on the surface made too much racket to sleep in a mountaintop shrine with chickenwire windows. If unwary starfish might nestle into his hair when he slept, mistaking the pale drifting strands for bleached seaweed, or if that was how he lured in some of those enormous yellowfins... Clearly, I could not help myself.

I. Er. This is so far from being original it's not even funny, and yet...so heavily processed through fandom that I'm not sure it really even counts as FF7 fanart anymore. :/ Hrm.

GUYS, IT'S TENTACLES-PIC, OK? I REALLY DON'T KNOW.
( As worksafe as its possible for tentacles to be. )

In light of all the recent feminist rage, I want something positive about female-ness.

So! Let's have drabbles. Give me a character (male or female) and something hot/awesome/fun/empowering about women, and I'll give you a drabble/drawble.

Alternatively! Rec me something awesome, centered on a female character, and I'll return the favor!

Been sort of off my draw again recently. So what better thing to do than take sketch requests? Fandoms I've done before are in tags, but if you want something you don't see there you can still ask, though I make no promises about that. You can ask for multiple prompts; I'll take prompts until tomorrow at midnight or people stop leaving them, whichever is first.

Didn't do nearly as much this round as the previous. It. This round, it sort of seems like everyone went "Eeeeh. :( All my work is suck. :(((" and I. I am not immune.
/Edit: And hey! Even though I felt like kind of fail this run, I still tied for 5th place. :D This comm is like Nano for plot-phobes. *andheartssemi-colon*

I submitted this as a prompt to porn_battle, but for those of you who keep an eye on both here and there (and if you're only here--why would you do that? Porn battle is the best thing ever!):

If you write FF7 Zombie Apocalypse fic--any characters, any pairings, any length--leave a note here and I will draw you (or I suppose write, if you'd rather) anything you ask for, no holds barred. Because, DAY-UM.

Title:Good Advice
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Pairing: Sephiroth/Cloud
Rating: R
Length: 1,101
Prompt:Final Fantasy VII, Sephiroth/Cloud: Wet dreams or erotic dreams - "Nothing was more embarrassing than waking up in a full dorm, with your commander's name still on your lips."
A/N: Note to self: do not ever schedule yourself to write stories during midterm-week ever again. Huge apologies to anyone who expected this on the 11th.

( Good Advice )

Chibirisu-chan wrote an au fanfic to ciqeci's tentacleverse FF7 fanfic. The image of sephiroth having to deal with a small child (and the added levels of ridiculous meta)were too much for me: I couldn't have not done fanart to save my life. *Lol* Warnings for tentacles and not making a lot of sense unless you've read the stories mentioned above.

( FF7, Sephiroth and OC, worksafe> <a href= )

Also, ciqeci? I've started on your virgin sacrifice-pic, for when the endings are done. :D

Cloud vs. Sephiroth AC fight

I was re-watching some scenes from various FF7 things this morning, and something really stood out to me: nearly everyone I've talked to who's tried to write Sephiroth has noted how particularly difficult he is to get in bed, even the ones who normally have no great trouble with explicit stories. He's often written as nearly-asexual. But if you watch the canon, a lot of his lines and delivery are... if not outright sexual (and the "get on your knees; I want to hear you beg for forgiveness" line can definitely be argued) then at least deeply sensual. So I'm wondering where the disconnect comes from?

I don't really write much, myself, and I've never tried to write Sephiroth in any case. So I'm putting out a general query to those on my f-list who do write/have written him: How do you view sephiroth's sexuality and how does that play into the way you write his character, either in outright smut or in tamer pieces?

Companion piece to the last one. Again, fanart to Ciceqi's awesome FF7 AU, Kingdom.

( Sefirot; worksafe )

Because Maygray's's awesome fanart on the same subject got me thinking more specifically about cloud's outfit (and this art owes more to her than is probably immediately apparent <3), I have more fanart for Ciqeci, this time for her amazing fic "Kingdom". There may have to be and Oberon!seph pic too, but we'll see how the timing works out. omg school DDDDD:

( Chesed, worksafe )

So, I have no idea where this came from, given I don't remember downloading it, but my ipod brought up this song, Clay Aiken's "I will carry you" today and, hearing it for the first time, I kind of flailed and went ZACK/CLOUD OTP!!!

When your world breaks down and the voices tell you turn around. When your dreams give out I will carry you, carry you.
When the stars go blind and the darkness starts to flood your eyes. When you're falling behind, I will carry you.

You should know now that you're not alone. Take my heart and we will find, you will find, your way home.


I, um. Yeah. Sobbing like a little girl in the back of the bus.

One of my very favoritest authors ever, ciceqi, is going back to school! Clearly, this is the perfect time for gift!art.

( Lolchocobo: I can has book lurnings too? )

Cross-posted to Gen Challenge, Rude of the Turks.

Yay for unfamiliar body-types.

First off, a semi-realistic reeve bust... trying out a new coloring style. I'm sort of...ambivalent about how it turned out, honestly. Eh. ( At least it was fun to do? )

Secondly, I made the boy lend me his copy of Digital Devil Saga, and... all I can say is, Fandom? I love you. Thank you for being such good company in horrible-personhood. It would have been lonely all by myself. <333

Worksafe. Vincent being his dramaqueen self, and Cait Sith being cute. ( Read more... )

Zack:

Is it really necissary for you to look COMPLETELY different in the different games etc. you show up in? Like, wearing your hair different, having different bone structure. I know aeris and seph get to do it a bit too, but this is getting ridiculous. I have FOUR PAGES of sketches trying to pin down a look for you- and three gift-pics waiting on one- and still, WILDLY DIFFERNT. You get the sad!cloud icon.

no love,
me.
