Title: Embitterment Author: Glass Mermaid URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/4125647/1/EmbittermentContact for Author: PM via ff.net account Status: Complete Pairings: Yuffie/Reno, some Yuffie/Cid Rating: T, but has some sex scenes Reasons for Recommendation: This story completely captivated me. From Reno's characterization of being a killer who has never had mixed feelings about his job until he became friends with Yuffie, to Yuffie's misgivings at falling in love with a man who has many sides, one of those sides being a ruthless, hired murderer. This fic does not gloss over Reno's job as a Turk, and this really is a great depiction of how love changes people and how, in return, people make changes for the ones they love.

Title: Full Circle Author: NRGburst URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/3798564/1/Full_CircleContact for Author: PM via ff.net account Status: In-Progress Pairings: Cloud/Tifa Rating: T Reasons for Recommendation: The level of writing is certainly a cut above the rest, in my opinion. The introspection done for Cloud and Tifa makes them come across as not only fleshed out, 3-dimensional characters, but it's also very interesting to read. I think the authoress did very well with her characterizations here. What is more, I feel she properly addressed the issue of Aeris (for both characters) in a believable manner. A solid read.

Title: Chairs, Lights and Locks of the World Author: knightlineninja URL: knightlineninja.livejournal.com/10442.html#cutid1Contact for Author: There at the livejournal? Status: Complete Pairings: Cloud/Tifa Rating: NC-17 Reasons for Recommendation: I stumbled upon this one shot when I was perusing Final Fantasy Press and was smitten. It's very descriptive and the interaction and heat between Cloud and Tifa is amazing. I'll never look at Fenrir the same way again! Also, the way she portrays Cloud is amazing. She makes him seem as insecure, and a little selfish, but then that's the way that Tifa loves him. I think it's an amazing fic and the smut is tastefully written!

Title: Love and Kisses, Aerith Author: Scribbler URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/4135090/1/Love_and_Kisses_AerithContact for Author: electric_hairdo@hotmail.com Status: One-shot (2,225 words) Pairings: Zack/Aerith Rating: T Reasons for Recommendation: (Fleeting Fancies puts it better than I can) This is a really lovely Aerith POV, I love how sweet and gentle she is here, how cheerful and bright and teasing she is, but there's still that unshakable determination and stubborness, and all the things that make her up. And I've also read a fair amount of fic set after Zack disappears for those years, where Aerith still thinks about him (or writes to him, as with this fic) and I love a lot of them, but I think this is one of the best I've read, the language of it is so pretty and feels so attuned to her character and their relationship and... well, even more than that, the determined cheerfulness despite what we all know is coming, the way she finally just knows (which we also all knew was coming) was beautifully done. My heart ached for Aerith in this fic in exactly the way the author wanted. ;__; It's such a beautiful fic--lovely writing and full of little details of her life and it feels so right for the characters.

Title: the sleep of the apples Author: spikeyboots URL: spikeyboots.livejournal.com/93081.htmlContact for Author: spikeyboots.livejournal.com/Status: One Shot Pairings: Aerith/Zack; Aerith/Cloud Rating: M Reasons for Recommendation: The only threesome I’ve ever been able to buy into is Zack/Aerith/Cloud. I wasn't expecting to fall for them as hard as I have, especially since it pretty much came out of nowhere, but the more I read fic like this, the more I genuinely fall in love with them. This isn’t strictly threesome fic; rather, it’s Aerith/Zack and Aerith/Cloud, but it still highlights all the reasons why I love them and think they’d work well together. It’s not just a case of random warm bodies; it’s a beautiful interpretation of how you can fall in love more than once in your life, and how the second time doesn’t devalue the first. Plus this fic is smoking hot, and it really is perfectly like Aerith to be so attuned to the feelings of others before her own.

Note: Originally nominated by mysticspiritus. Moved to free up space in the Drabble category.Title: Medical Excuse Author: MysticSpiritus URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/4480706/1/Medical_ExcuseContact for Author: PM via ff.net Status: Complete Pairings: Reeve/Yuffie Rating: M Reasons for Recommendation: Taking a cue from Mengde, I am going to be bold and nominate my own fic. This is a crack pairing for sure, but the feedback was all positive. It's funny, unexpected, and only around 800 words (not counting the two author's notes). I hope you all enjoy.

Note: Originally nominated by Youko-Kokuryuuha. Moved to free up space in the Drabble category.Title: Surprise! Author: Lady PenThier URL: HereContact for Author: And hereStatus: Complete Pairings: Reno/Yuffie Rating: T Reasons for Recommendation: I found this fic by chance, and I thought it was funny and cute. I think the author kept Reno and Yuffie mostly in character, and made a goofy relationship between them seem believable. I, personally, loved it.
