Title:The Silence of the Chocobos Author: Amarissa URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/3892767/1/The_Silence_of_the_ChocobosContact for Author: www.fanfiction.net/u/1388020/AmarissiaStatus:Complete Pairings:Cloud/Sephiroth Rating: M Reasons for Recommendation: A brilliant balance of Drama and Parody, Amarissa (also writer of Madness of Angels from the slash catagory) re-tells AC in a way you never would've expected; the 4th-wall-shattering nightmares of Rufus are pure comedy along with a sparkling Kadaj and simply brilliant characterisations all round. One of the most well-written parodies I've ever read.

Title: Artistry Author: Hades' Phoenix URL: hadesphoenix.livejournal.com/112276.html#cutid1Contact for Author: hadesphoenix.livejournal.com/Status: Complete (One-shot) Pairings: None Rating: N/A Reasons for Recommendation: I can not describe the genre as anything other than absolute horror, but not in the cheesy horror-film way. It is written with such a morbid and nonchalant tone that makes the entire thing so absolutely bone-chilling and disturbing yet still fasinating. It makes you want to stop reading just to keep yourself from shivering, and you can't help but notice the non-existant ache in your body as you read. Her depiction of Hojo is so completely Hojo, as a man who (as one comment said) is amoral as opposed to immoral. Though short, it is written in such a way that it makes your skin crawl yet you can't keep yourself from reading more.

Title: Facing The Truth Author: Miko no Da URL: www.mikonoda.com/ff/truth.htmlContact for Author: mikonoda@japan.com Status: One Shot Pairings: Cloud/Aerith, Zack/Aerith, Cloud/Tifa Rating: PG-13 Reasons for Recommendation: This is one of those fics that could/would/should fit into canon as a sort of ‘missing episode’ or deleted scene. Cloud is often written pre- and post-game, but rarely do people write good game Cloud – the f****d up, confused, self-deluded Cloud who isn’t just Emo McEmopants or Innocent McApparentlyeveryone’sintomypants. This manages to sew up some of the multifarious plotholes that accost his character during FF7 (not least of which is his connection to Zack and how that might affect his fragmented mind before that dip in the Lifestream), and do it in a way that’s entirely true to his character. It’s respectful to all characters and gorgeously written besides. Outstanding.

Title: More Than a Name Author: Qwi-Xux URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/4154400/1/More_Than_a_NameContact for Author: PM via ff.net Status: Complete Pairings: Very slight Cloud/Tifa Rating: K+ Reasons for Recommendation: A sweet family fic which deals with Marlene and Denzel's issues. The writing and characterisation are both lovely.

Title: 25 Streetsigns Author: chibirisuchan URL: chibirisuchan.livejournal.com/41988.htmlContact for Author: chibirisuchan.livejournal.com/Status: WIP Pairings: Loz/Kadaj Rating: PG through R Reasons for Recommendation: It's ...complicated. It's drama, humor, angst, crack, soul-searching, exploring the what it means to be a *remnant,* and what could go wrong if Kadaj was actually given his most fervent desire... oh yeah and there's also a major twist the author doesn't mention up front but that might squick some people. Not going to mention it here in case there are people who haven't read it yet, but if you're easily squicked you might want to give it a pass. Not gory or violent, just... could push some buttons. I read it not knowing what I was getting into, and by the time you get there, it all almost makes sense, in a way that's so completely broken it's perfect. (If you want to go for it, read it in the chronological order, not the by-prompt-number order.)

Title: The Date Author: TheLadyMoon URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/4464412/1/Contact for Author: www.fanfiction.net/u/951065/TheLadyMoonStatus: Complete (oneshot) Pairings: Cloud/Tifa, some Yuffie/Vincent, Cloud-Vincent (friendship). Rating: K+ Reasons for Recommendation: An enjoyable read, this fic mainly focused on Cloud and his attempts to discover a part of his past, while a hurt Tifa struggled with dealing with her long held-in emotions. The author's characterization of these characters is on-spot, she made both of their "struggles" believable with the perfect mix of seriousness and humor. I thought it was a great take on Cloud's past and well-worth the read.

Title: Of Treasure and Time Author: Glass Mermaid URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/4088130/1/Of_Treasure_and_TimeContact for Author: PM via ff.net Status: Complete Pairings: Glimpses of Yuffie/Reno, at times a sort of transient Yuffie/Cloud Rating: T, with a light sex scene Reasons for Recommendation: This is a very great look at Cloud's characterization after Advent Children, with a bit of Yuffie thrown in to balance it out. Glass Mermaid has a beautiful writing style, one that really makes you think, and every few pages of her writing will contain a line that just jumps off the page and slaps your across the face. I think she did an amazing job of characterizing Cloud. The piece is very perceptive and a good read, short and yet very complete-feeling. The pairings are not the focus, really, and the author herself even says she would not consider this a romance. This story is about Cloud finding himself and letting go and learning to enjoy life.

Title: Vitabimus Author: Turks vs The Angels URL: www.fanfiction.net/s/4635107/1/VitabimusContact for Author: PM via FFN Status: Complete Pairings: None Rating: T Reasons for Recommendation: I stumbled across this story by accident, and boy am I happy that I did. Some people have said that it's a little off in the timeline, and while I can see some of it, it's too amazing to just ignore. You can almost taste Nero's emotions, his fear, his doubts, his love for his brother. I swear, I felt like crying through the story, especially when Weiss is 'possessed' by Hojo, and you can feel the pain that Nero is feeling. Wonderful stories, perfect characterization, and really-- it was just plain beautiful.
