Title of Verse: The Pennatas People

Title of Chapter: Chapter Four: Grandparents Can Be More Understanding

Author: Aki Arashi

Pairings: Cloud's Mother Cirra (from Cirrus) and Cloud's Father Ptilon  (a minor god of the Nibel Pennatas Tribe), friendship between Cloud and Tifa

Spoilers: FF7

Notes: So frickin' AU there is little resemblance between early history in game and in story. Later will have more resemblance, but will still be pretty out there. This is partly because of the new genetic variations in the human race that this story has. The story came out of one picture of someone having wing tattoos and a whole verse was built up around that and the FF7 characters. Also seems to read better in present tense, tried pass tense but it was being difficult.

Warnings: Really strange ideas went into making this verse. I know that some of the events are not canon, but the characters insisted that this is what I was going to be writing.

Also, is a shorter chapter than usual. This one is from Mr. Lockeheart's POV, and he's... really not the nicest man at this moment... I wasn't even going to describe this, but while I was stuck on Ch. 2 he spoke up.

 

 

Title of Verse: The Pennatas People

Title of Chapter: Chapter Two: Stranded, Yet Not

Author: Aki Arashi

Pairings: Cloud's Mother Cirra (from Cirrus) and Cloud's Father (a minor god of the Nibel Tribe), friendship between Cloud and Tifa

Spoilers: FF7

Notes: So frickin' AU there is little resemblance between early history in game and in story. Later will have more resemblance, but will still be pretty out there. This is partly because of the new genetic variations in the human race that this story has. I do not know much about Crisis Core, Before Crisis, or most of the new games for this verse, but I have played the original game and watched Advent Children. The story came out of one picture of someone having wing tattoos and a whole verse was built up around that and the FF7 characters. Also seems to read better in present tense, tried past tense but it was being difficult.

Warnings: Really strange ideas went into making this verse. I know that some of the events are not canon, but the characters insisted that this is what I was going to be writing.

 

So, over spring break, (and I actually got to go home for Easter this year! First time since I started college, even!) I got to re-play KH and LoZ: Wind Waker. The battles are 3-D rather than turn based like the original FF7 game, and after I came back up, I realized something... Not only do I smash the buttons, while I'm smashing the buttons I mostly pay attention to how the character is doing, with small glances at health and noting where the monsters are. Flips, dodges, rolls, jumps... I'm so amazed at what these kids can do with little training and a whole crap-load of practice.
The pretty movies of them fighting is playing in my head... Also, the graphics in FF7 are awesome for the time, but am now wishing I could see them all fight like KH and stuff, because that? Would be wicked! Graphics for certain scenes would suck ass though... be very pretty, but suck ass. (ex. Zack = dead, considering I don't have PSP and YouTube hates me)

So, I write both Final Fantasy 7 fics and Harry Potter fics, and I usually avoid certain characters in both series. Even if they sometimes hi-jack the story... I either write around the character (for FF7) or I don't write about that year (HP)... I also read both in fanfics of various sorts. Recently, Tifa Lockeheart(sp?)'s father hijacked the viewpoint for one of my stories. Now, normally that wouldn't have me railing at my brain to stop giving me ideas. It'd have me pissed at the minor character that went past his place in the fic, but it would NOT have me yelling for the brain to stop getting whacked out ideas. Then I read a HP fanfic and it mentioned the stupidest Defense Against the Dark Arts professor that Harry had to deal with, Gilderoy Lockhart. Those of you who know me, will probably immediately realize what thought ran through my brain.
That's right, at some point they had to be related, cause stupid but cunning in that manner could not POSSIBLY come from more than one family, especially with how I'm writing the father for the fic that was taken over by him.

Title of Verse: The Pennatas People

Title of Chapter: Chapter One: Children of the Mountain Town

Author: Aki Arashi

Pairings: Cloud's Mother Cirra (from Cirrus) and Cloud's Father (a minor god of the Nibel Tribe), friendship between Cloud and Tifa

Spoilers: FF7

Notes: So frickin' AU there is little resemblance between early history in game and in story. Later will have more resemblance, but will still be pretty out there.

The story came out of one picture of someone having wing tattoos and a whole verse was built up around that and the FF7 characters.

My muses jumped me right before I woke from a nap. This drabble is the result and it doesn't even describe all the details they gave to me in the dream.

Title: Mocha
Author: Aki Arashi
Verse: None that I remember having before this.
Warnings: Crack, crazy crack and insanity. Slight m/m visible.
Summary: Cloud being a chocobo causes problems when the writer is low on sleep.

The fact that Cloud was a chocobo had long been accepted in the military. It had also been the reason that he became randomly clingy, which was also being slowly accepted. But Zack never expected for Cloud's Chocoboness to have this effect as he heard/saw Seph slam into his room and say, "Release the Mocha from me," in slightly frantic manner.

As Zack sits there blinking after being startled awake, he slowly figures out that the yellow thing moving at Seph's neck was Cloud's hair as the boy licked and nuzzled Seph's neck. After a couple of blinks Zack promptly bursts into laughter.

Title: Such a Strange Morning
Author: Aki Arashi
Follows: Waking Up
Pairings: eventually going to be Sephiroth/Aeris/Zack/Cloud/Tifa if they get that far.
Spoilers: Minor spoilers from the FF7 universe
Notes: I haven't played the game much. I started it to try and get better characterizations than what they had in the movie. Please forgive any mistakes I make due to that. Also I am fine with constructive criticism and will try to fix what mistakes I've made. This appears to be a series now, but I had been hopeful that the first one was going to be it. 
Warnings: Umm... If you don't like any hints of people being in polygamous relationships don't read.
Summary: Sephiroth wakes up.

 

Title: Waking Up
Author: Aki Arashi
Follows: Bed
Pairings: eventually/used to be/will be again Sephiroth/Aeris/Zack/Cloud/Tifa
Minor Spoilers for the FF7 verse
Notes: I thought I had finished with this verse but Aeris decided to say “Write this” to me and the last time turned out ok, so... By the way, they are refusing to tell me how they got there and only smile at me when I ask them. Though Aeris seems to have relented a little by the end of it and gives a hint.
Warnings: Still being cute and cuddly. Written in Aeris sight. Reference to alternative pairings. No dialogue yet because almost everyone is asleep
Summary: Aeris wakes up to find herself alive along with some other things.

Title: Bed 
Author: Aki Arashi
Pairings: Cloud+Tifa and eventual/used to be/will be again Sephiroth/Aeris/Zack/Cloud/Tifa
Spoilers: Minor spoilers for Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children and for the game FF7
Warnings: Cuteness. Also, it was written just after I had gotten up from a nap.
Summary: Cloud goes to check on the children and when he gets back to his bedroom he gets a happy shock.  
Notes: I might not have all of the characterizations right. I'm currently playing the game for the first time without piggy-backing on a friend's save. I've asked a friend who had played the game to read it over to make sure they sounded ok. I have also researched as much as I could into the characters. Hopefully they're close and I'll edit if I feel that they're way off.  Takes place a few months after the end of Advent Children and that's all they're telling me. Characters are not mine. Please let me know any large out of characterness that you see and I will try to fix them. And let me know of any grammar mistakes as well, please.
Key: Italicized are thoughts, 'words' like that are whispers or mouthed words very quiet, and "words" like that are speaking.
