Title: Untitled Author: Karanguni URL: karanguni.livejournal.com/22260.htmlContact for Author: karanguni.livejournal.com/Status: Complete Pairings: Unrequited Cissnei/Zack Rating: T Reasons for Recommendation: Beautiful and deceptively simplistic, Karanguni sets us up with poignancy, and then sweeps it away under the harsh reality of Turk (and ShinRa) life and what it does to people. I’m constantly amazed by her interpretation of the Turks, and these versions of the characters are fast becoming the default in my head. Her Cissnei rings especially true, mostly through how she interacts with Tseng. A brutal but worthwhile look at what happened after the last scene in Crisis Core

Title: Perfection Author: Scribbler URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/4390060/1/PerfectionContact for Author: www.fanfiction.net/u/139401/ScribblerStatus: Complete Pairings: Genesis/Cloud Rating: T Reasons for Recommendation: Really gets across how creepy Genesis is, and is very impressive how it says so much about him and his character without using too much. I think this is one of the best characterizations of Genesis that I've read so far.

Title: A Walk Author: bofoddity URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/3714693/1/A_WalkContact for Author: via PM at ffnet Status: Complete Pairings: Cloud, Hojo Rating: T Reasons for Recommendation: A "missing moment" vignette that feels genuine enough to be a part of canon. There's a subtle creepiness about it that I like. It doesn't take blood and gore to unsettle a reader. Sometimes it's all a matter of subtext and mood, and the author gets that. Hojo shines in this as a truly disturbing man instead of a sad, cackling cartoon, and in the end you can't help but feel a little desperate anger for Cloud.

Title: Stormbringers Author: GuiltyRed-Fics URL: guiltyred-fics.insanejournal.com/154171.html#cutid1Contact for Author: guiltyredfics@aol.com Status: Complete Pairings: Angeal/Genesis Rating: PG Reasons for Recommendation: Because it is a beautifully written scene that's supposed to take place during Zack's battle with yet another Bahamut. It's passionate, intense, and just a great showcase of two wonderful characters.

Title: Betrayal Author: Dark Queen Come to Krynn URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/4449656/1/BetrayalContact for Author: FF.net PM Status: Complete Pairings: None Rating: T Reasons for Recommendation: Because it's a different take on Genesis and it takes place from the perspective of one of his clones. Disturbing yet very touching.

Title: Following Orders Author: Sildil URL: asylums.insanejournal.com/ffvii_100/168813.htmlContact for Author: sildil.insanejournal.com/Status: Completed (100 words) Pairings: Not sure if there are any? (Reno is involved; that makes everything suspect) Rating: PG Reasons for Recommendation: It's amazing what you can fit into 100 words even when half of them are scratched out in the interests of self-preservation. This is both hilarious and really expressive in a really condensed space; nobody but Reno would have written a 'hey guys I'm skipping work for the next week' note quite like this one.

Title: The Grunt's Tale Author: Calaeris URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/4125643/1/Contact for Author: PM via ff.net Status: Complete Pairings: None Rating: T Reasons for Recommendation: A very unique piece - it's a one-sided conversation but it's written so well the reader can understand what's going on perfectly.

Title: The darkest hour... Author: NRGburst URL: nrgburst.livejournal.com/9067.htmlContact for author: Can send PM through GA or leave comment on LJ Status: Complete Pairings: Onesided TifaxCloud, hint of CloudxAerith Rating: PG Reason for recommendation: This is a fic that beautifully portrays a topic that has been grossly overlooked. In under 400 words the authour manages to write a perfect portrayal of Tifa's reaction to Cloud's supposed death, after she witnesses the explosion atop the Shinra building. The authour writes in such a way where the style and vocabularly reflect the message of grief and other emotions. All in all the authour has weaved together a heart-wrenching missing scene.

Title: Mourning Will Come Author: bofoddity URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/3480475/1/Mourning_Will_ComeContact for Author: PM through ff.net Status: complete Pairings: Aerith/Tifa Rating: T Reasons for Recommendation: This is a beautiful, snapshot-like look into an Aerith/Tifa relationship, and how Tifa feels after Aerith is dead -- or maybe it's not so much how she feels as something she is imagining. It's hard to explain -- the point is not so much the plausibility as the emotions involved. It's femslash done completely right, in my opinion.

Title: Silk Author: Fraulein Hilde URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/3277492/1/SilkContact for Author: PM via FFN Status: Complete Pairings: Aeris/Tifa Rating: K+ Reasons for Recommendation: This just captures the essence of the two girls. It was just perfect. Aeris wanting to protect, Tifa unable to accept her weakness. We all know how it ends, but this way you're actually able to see how much damage it did. Heartbreakingly tragic, yet perfect at the same time.
