[Fic Rec] FF7: A Long, Hard Road and other fics
Another fanfic rec!
So last night I totally finished reading a fic I've been reading for several years. I was crying by the end of it. It was just a relief to see the ending. And it was awesome to read the ending. So here it is.
A Long, Hard Road by Twig
Pairings: Sephiroth/Cloud and more...
Five years after the end of the game, Hojo is in an all-out war against the Planet and the ShinRa armies, led by now-general Cloud Strife. What will happen, when ShinRa makes a desperate decision to resurrect the very person who nearly killed them all?
This has got to be one of the most awesome fics I've read. It's nicely written, and its totally involving where I get started reading this and I just can't put it down! Do beware that there is Cloud angst and regular angst and gore and great battles and lots of good characterizations (and awesome original characters) and just lots of good stuff. I totally recommend reading this. Twig declared this fic a soap opera with guns. And I can agree with that and add the word epic. Lots and lots of Cloud angst. I took a break at one point because I just had to. I got snagged back into the fic just recently. Happy ending too, which made me want to finish it because I wanted to see how that happened. Just an awesome fic. ^_^
And since I'm reccing one fic, might as well rec some other FF7 fics I've enjoyed. Sorry for any rambling. The text was written for a rec post a while back that hasn't been posted yet.
Clumsy by Thorne_scratch
Pairing: Vincent/Cloud
I'm not sure how to describe this fic, other than its like a thinking sex scene. It is Cloud in his uncertaintly, with shards of his fuzzy memories striking when least expected. It is Vincent with patience unending. It is thoughtful and hot and beautiful.
Conflicts of Interest by Madamhydra WIP
Multiple personalities or the remnants of Zack? Who is the real Cloud Strife? This fic is wonderfully written with a very, very angry Cloud. While it's been on hiatus for a long time, she has written in her journal Advent Children seems to have inspired her more to finish. So here's hoping!
Final Fantasy VII: The World Can Wait aka The Shinra Ink Arc by llamajoy & Tenshi no Korin
Pairing: Many, mostly Turks and also Vincent/Cloud, and Zack/Cloud
A whole universe of stories about the Turks and the lives they lead from the beginning of Reno joining to after Meteor. There's even some Advent Children fic for those looking. A wonderful arc to read and to see so many stories focusing on Rufus and the Turks and the way they are characterized is awesome. I highly recommend reading this. I love how all the little stories come together.
