how we all got there was a mystery
3940 words
ffvii: compilation au. pg, backstory spoilers.
project team: lucrecia, ifalna, vincent, hojo, gast.
supporting cast: shinra, turks, grimoire, jenova, cetra.


A character-driven story of the events leading to Sephiroth's birth, Aeris's conception, and Vincent's resurrection. Told in a non-linear fashion with multiple points of view, this story picks and mixes from both the original game continuity and the Dirge of Cerberus continuity in an effort to rationalise the actions of the Jenova Project team, predominantly via character development/deconstruction. Featuring speculation, worldbuilding, and character backstory creation, this story assumes the reader has full knowledge of the characters' respective endings, and uses the dramatic irony cudgel and slight AU twists to build suspense and interest in a story where everyone's fate is already known. The major alternate-universe "event" is not revealed until the final chapter, as the final ironic strike.


In a Midgar where martial law has been declared and Shinra's dictatorship is outwardly benign, paternal, and total, Lucrecia Crescent lives and works entirely in a secure and wholly stable present tense. The unexpected arrival of two of Shinra's Turks reawakens Lucrecia's fear of being called to account for her past guilts, of which the death of Grimoire Valentine is only the most recent.

Black satin abrades against brick, countless threads snapped and blurred with repetitive motion; clothed, still, but scarred.

High arched brows, both thin and black; her eyes were perfectly round, a startling green and ringed with bright blue, and such thick feathered lashes she wore; two small circles of blush were drawn symmetrically beneath cheekbones left sharp by the sag of skin - and the wrinkles were a part of it, too, gathering powder, matching curves that swooped down and then up again from the corners of a mouth left nondescript by the absence of both paint and smiles.

Instead of a face, the woman had a butterfly.

Not crossposting this one as it is unfinished. Another one of my many wips that I promised myself to clear out, yet has been percolating on that last line for...oh, a year? and I can't find a satisfactory ending. Growly. Except, you know, closing with requisite porn, which doesn't quite feel right considering the sheer uncritical Imperialism of Balthier's thought-process.

Fabricate, bend and weld in accordance with the performance criteria laid down in mythology, the standards as outlined in contemporary media, the particular requirements of this family, and to the satisfaction of her future husband.

And then, there was the sun again, so goddamned bright to eyes that had seen nothing but storm for months, so bright it burned a half-circle hole through the cardboard-silhouette hills that had kept it down and covered, and all you could do was smile, and then laugh, after all of that: there was the sun, not again, but always!

Today I watched a dark moth batting against a bus window until it died from the tired; I wanted to write it a story, something about the wing pattern in the condensation or the point of pointless motion, but I forgot what.

Made to rise from her knees too soon and just as quickly, forced to bend, she protests only the inexplicable rush: 'Wait. Wait--'

Playing with a dictation program. V. interesting as a writing process, having the text transcribed as I speak.  Not sure if I like it yet, but it's definitely faster than writing...
