I'm not sure why, but I'm guilty of secretly enjoying the Tifa/Zack pairing. It's no where near canon, and it seems the two personalities would clash more often than not (and he's dead...), but for some reason, I like it!

Each to their own, Alma.
And Zack would so flirt with Tifa just for the sake of it, because he's like that.
Didn't mean to rub you the wrong way Lady V, I'm kinda bad for stumbling onto stuff without realizing *gives virtual Zack*

*huggles the virtual Zack*
It's okay dear, I'm much better this morning. ^_^
I'm okay with Zack/Tifa, at least- loads of cuteness potential exists there. In fact, I think if she was older than 15 during Nibelheim, I think he would have spent quite a bit of time with her during Seph's little visit to the library... But I'm glad that didn't happen because that would have thrown a real monkey wrench in the gears of the rest of FFVII's backstory!!

Here's a crack pairing for ya...
Weiss/Cloud
I mean seriously, what?? I stumbled across not one but TWO fics for that recently and just now I saw a piece of fan art for them... I wish I hadn't closed the window the pic was actually quite beautiful- but the subject of it really threw me...
Edit... It does make slightly more sense that the Angeal/Cloud fic I found someplace... but not by much...

Wow, people seem to assume that Cloud will do anything. What with all his emotional scarring and all, he's a delicate boy, dammit, less of the buttrape with angry villains *cries for Cloud*

That was exactly how I felt too, Fear. I was just like- OMG- WTF. Poor Cloud... I can't think of ANY other character in any other game, movie, book or whatever that has been paired up with more people who don't fit thier overall personality, nature or demenor than poor Cloud has been subjected to.

I just find it hilarious. Never liked Cloud anyway.

Aaaw, Lady V, I do genuinely feel bad for him. I mean, I don't even like Cloud that much, but I feel bad for all the crap that's happened to him (which is a lot). The last thing he needs is (possibly) badly written lemons involving extreme buttrape, because you know that's what happens....

I believe the fan art pic I saw was noted as having been inspired by one of the two fics I mentioned and the pic was ... VERY consentual, (I did say it was quite lovely) shall we say... But as a rule yes, a lot of people seem to write fics that are just horrible to him an on top of what he has already been through- WHY??
Cloud may be an uke but he is also a survivior. He wants to move on, he's not letting his past beat him and I don't believe for a second that he would willingly repeat much of it so where these authors get some of their ideas, I really have no idea.

Cloud may be an uke but he is also a survivior. I don't get why people always label Cloud an uke anyway. Well, actually, I find the whole idea of seme/uke stereotypical and ridiculous. So I guess I wouldn't get it either way.

Okay, that's a fair observation, Pied. It does sound stereotypical. But, I know from the ss relationships I've personally been in and from what I have seen among my friends, that they do tend to follow certain general patterns most of the time.
That said, over on the Cloud/Zack thread on ACF, we also have a saying that applies to all healthy ss relationships...
"True love means you aren't always on top." Spoken by Clotif4ever... My current fan art project is actually a literal illustration of that saying... ;D
But, we weren't originally talking about the normal type of ss relationships anyway, which for me, is why I can't accept a lot of the REALLY cracky fics out there.

What is an 'ss relationship'? And what are seme & uke? Does the SS stand for same-sex? Or is it something else entirely?
