Title: Against Regulations Author: chibirisuchan URL: chibirisuchan.livejournal.com/32298.html and chibirisuchan.livejournal.com/32541.htmlContact for Author: chibirisuchan.livejournal.com/Status: Finished single chapter (split into two posts for LJ length) Pairings: Sephiroth/Zack Rating: R Reasons for Recommendation: War flashbacks, monster hunting, and an explanation for why Sephiroth wears all that black leather (even aside from the pinup magazine theory). There's sex and violence that aren't romantic in the least, though there's also friendship and loyalty and the mental scarring war leaves on even someone as relatively well-adjusted as Zack. (Sephiroth's mental scarring is, of course, on an entirely different scale...)

Title: Just a Simple Mission Author: LuckyLadyBug URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/3456772/1/Just_a_Simple_MissionContact for Author: PM via FFN Status: Complete Pairings: Sephiroth, Zack (not couple) Rating: T Reasons for Recommendation: Well, first of all, it really wasn't a simple mission. Filled with moments where your heart catches in your throat; clinging your fingers to your face, not wanting to see if Zack and Sephiroth, in Dismal, were alive; cheering for the good guys and against the bad guys. There was suspense and action and adventure, more so than most people can write at all. One of the better pre-Nibelheim pieces around.

Title: Cold, But Not Dead Author: Counterfeit God URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/4625249/19/Cold_But_Not_DeadContact for Author: PM via FFN Status: WiP Pairings: Sephiroth/Vincent Rating: M Reasons for Recommendation: This story is just one of those stories where the author has twisted these characters into such beautiful and macabre human beings that you just have to sit back and marvel over how amazing it is. A real gem. The story is about Vincent Valentine, who, rather than being raised in the time he was, instead was born much later, after Sephiroth's birth. Instead of becoming a Turk, falling in love with Lucrecia, and the Nibelheim incident, Vincent is a young SOLDIER 3rd class who is put under the care of Sephiroth after an attack, where he is horribly injured. Sephiroth, in guilt, brings the boy to Hojo in hopes to save the boy, where said really nasty problems come into play. This is easily one of the best written fan fictions, and it really plays with emotional attachments and the human psyche. There is some romance, but really, the story does not revolve around it. In fact, it was a nice change, to be able to read something with the romance more set into the background, and more integrated into the plot. There isn't just 'Oh, I love you,' and then jumping into the sack, which sadly tends to happen. Also, there really are some of the best fighting scenes, that really put you on edge. You just have to keep reading, and clicking, because the action is just that superb. An amazing story.

Title: At the End of All Things Author: Mengde URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/4688811/1/At_the_End_of_All_ThingsContact for Author: PM via Genesis Awards Status: In-progress Pairings: None, really, but there is a past relationship with Yuffie/Vincent Rating: M Reasons for Recommendation: At the End of All Things is a really fresh story for the Final Fantasy VII section. Mengde once again displays his talent for the twists and turns and fight scenes of an action/adventure, and he just keeps getting better all the time. In a post-apocalyptic Gaia that has been ravaged by a desert climate and torn apart by a deadly disease, Vincent Valentine is working with the Protectorate, formed from the remains of AVALANCHE. Most of his friends are either dead or very old, and Cloud Strife went missing forty-five years ago. When Vincent finds a hint that Cloud might just be alive, he decides to rescue him -- but what he finds in discovering Cloud may tear the Planet and its inhabitants so far to pieces that even AVALANCHE can't put it all back together again. This, to me, is action/adventure -- spine-tingling, hair-raising, on-the-edge-of-your-seat action/adventure.

Title: Legacy Author: StrayValkyrie URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/4707217/1/LegacyContact for Author: PM via FFN Status: WiP Pairings: Unknown (To be het and slash, but nothing has been written in stone) Rating: T Reasons for Recommendation: This story is everything an Action/Adventure crossover needs-- a healthy dose of an angry alien, time warp into the future, and a few unexpected visitors from the wonderful world of FFVIII. Normally, I don't do crossovers, but this story is simply amazing. The characters are perfect. The story is flawless. Simply put-- this is absolutely perfect. Though it takes place in the far future (the only people who are really alive seem to be Cloud(ish), Vincent, and Red, they integrate OCs that actually work-- who aren't the full story, but are quite interesting.
