    Summary

    Her breath is choking in her throat as she can see what's going to happen in the sliver of an open window.

    Sephiroth's sword will pierce Aerith through. She'll be claimed as a sacrifice on a makeshift altar, and they can't do anything about it.

    Like her father. Like Nibelheim.

    --

    Tifa bites the bullet to hogtie a happy ending. It's not what you think.

    Summary

    I believe that you really want me, but it's not easy just to give in. So, let yourself go, and let love begin.
    ("Think About Me", Fleetwood Mac, Tusk)

    Zack Fair, recently promoted SOLDIER 1st-class and casual guitarist, is put in charge of training a fresh crew of infantrymen to become the new face of SOLDIER. Among which is Cloud Strife, a quiet man from Nibelheim who decides the only way to prove to his family and peers that he's strong is to join the military. His friend, Tifa Lockhart, doesn't need to be proven, however, so she follows him to escape the barren countryside and hopefully make a living. It's hard in Midgar when being poor is the norm, and Zack's girlfriend Aerith Gainsborough knows it, working in a flower shop and collecting church donations just to scrape by--but it's not so bad when you surround yourself with people to keep you company and keep you smiling, the more the merrier.

    This is a story about falling in love with your friends.

    (Setting is in the mid to late 90's, hybrid modern/FF7 world) Now complete.

    Summary

    Shinra built Neo-Midgar on the ashes of the Promised Land. A century later, the city has devolved into a dystopian ruin, where criminal empires reign supreme and the masses struggle to survive. The citizens of Neo-Midgar, hoping for a better future, search for their salvation in the bottom of a glass. Tifa Lockhart, cyberpunk bartender, is eager to serve it to them. The drinks taste of love, friendship, and a tinge of rebellion.

    A story of unwavering hope in the face of adversity; of love found by pure chance; and of holiday cheer, unhampered by the state of the world.

    Based on VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartending Action. No prior experience with the game is necessary to enjoy this fic. Will update every evening (at 7 PM EST) until December 25th. Happy holidays!
