The Prince, The Princess, The Complication

VIIVIII Sephiroth is not a mess easily cleaned up. In their Garden, the SeeDs find themselves with two new problems on their hands: a psychotic, silver haired mass murderer, and Cloud Strife, determined to finish what Jenova started.

Irvine is settled in his life, and has no wish to change it, but there are savages in the forest and one of them has his eye on the pretty cowboy. AU YAOI

When several students turn up in shirts marked K.S.o.S, Zell doesn't think much of it, but when one of the other orphans appears in one, Zell gets a lesson in what the letters stand for. -YAOI-

Cloud’s guilt and immortality kept him from the Promised Land while Jenova’s power has been reborn through the Sorceresses. Squall’s just trying to keep everything from falling apart.

Irvine and Selphie make Squall their 'project'...

Zell gets a less growly GF.

It's like this. I was warning folks that I hadn't yet watched the last handful of eppies for FMA, and that if anyone spoiled me, they'd have to die loud and painful. So of course people decided to "spoil" me. Like how, in ep 51, Roy gets his WINGS and Ed is stabbed with SCARY GREEN ICE STUFF, and Seifer CRIES. Yes. Yes, it's FF8. DIE, PEOPLE. *hearts*

Much has been written of the Eidolons--Guardian Forces, as they are sometimes known. Of their power and timelessness, of their sometimes humanlike quirks, and of the great costs of using them. Esthar scientists say the part of the brain responsible for junctioning them also commands memory; the summoner who calls on them does so at the cost of his or her own past. But rumors persist of occasions when use of them has instead granted memories. Memories of other times, other places, other lives. Whether or not these memories belong to the summoned or the summoner has never been satisfactorily determined, but one must fall back on the wisdom of the ages which tells us: The Eidolon knows not only who you are and have been, but also who you will be.
