Summary
Two years ago, Tseng of the Turks heard Tifa, the newly-hired waitress at the Turks' favorite slum bar, drop a tray of glass and start swearing in Wutaian. Half an hour later, she was looking him in the eye and telling him she grew up in Nibelheim -- and was there when Nibelheim went up in flames.
Since that moment, he's been doing everything he needs to do in order to get her and Rufus in the same room, because he knows she has answers to the questions that have been plaguing him and the man he's loyal to since the moment they heard of the town's destruction -- answers that might mean Shinra's destruction, or its salvation.
And perhaps unfortunately for Tseng, his plan is about to work.

Summary
It is said that when Alexander the Great was on his deathbed, his advisers and companions gathered around him and asked, to whom shall your ring of rule be passed? He answered, tôi kratistôi -- "to the strongest". (If you try to call Tseng Hephaestion, though, he'll probably shoot you in the face.)

Summary
(Originally posted 2011-11-06.)
This was written before Avengers came out and so has been thoroughly Jossed, but I was thinking about the ways in which Toni Stark would be different than Tony Stark, and this is what happened.
Title from Motion City Soundtracks' "Calling All Cops".

Summary
A collection of my favorite things I've written. They're in no particular order, mostly not related, and some of them are from the middle of other series that might not make a ton of sense taken out of context! In particular, if something's listed as belonging to a series, you might want to read the rest of the series in order to get context.

Summary
In which Tifa and Tseng have been dating for a while in the hopes that one of them will be able to get useful intel out of the other, Rufus has been plotting the overthrow of his company for longer than he'd care to admit, nobody knows the whole story of what really happened in Nibelheim and everybody wants to, and the author wallows unrepentantly in an AU premise she's been meaning to write for twenty years or so.

Summary
An AU of an AU of an AU: an AU of Mezzanine, which was an AU of Take These Broken Wings mashed up with the Cammieverse.
Daniel Jackson comes home from Atlantis for Jack's funeral and hits the wall of PTSD he's been staving off by sheer force of will for about twenty years. Fortunately, he runs into a few people who can help.

Summary
There was one night where I was working on what would become A Howling In the Factory Yard in one window and talking with ivorygates in the other window about what would eventually become the Cammieverse in AIM, and I uttered the fateful words "You know, this is causing some interesting cognitive dissonance, because JD's over here in the other window all 'hey, I don't fucking care if Mitchell is a girl, he's still mine.'"
So, this is an AU mashup of two AUs: the one in which Cameron Mitchell was more injured in his 302 crash than he was in canon, and the one where Cam's a woman. It's sort of our take on the "we're not gay, we just love each other" trope. Us being us, it did not come out in the least bit like what you'd expect.

Summary
I've always been fascinated by always-a-different-sex AUs, especially the kind that take a cis dude and flip him into being a cis woman and then ask: okay, to get her into the same place he was in canon, how is she going to have to be different from her male counterpart?
Turns out, to get Cammie Mitchell into the same place as Cam Mitchell, she has to be twice as good and twice as agreeable. But she winds up about the same amount of stubborn.
