Summary
The plan was simple: go back in time, destroy Jenova, get rid of the reactors, save the Planet. Unfortunately, it failed to account for anything that could go wrong, mostly because anything could go wrong, and it wasn’t really possible to account for that.
Yet, of course, what went wrong was the last thing Cloud expected, or rather something Cloud didn’t expect at all, because seriously, what was right about any of this?

Summary
"So let me get this straight," Roy leaned back in his chair as if the physical toll of processing this information was too much. "You were thirteen yesterday, but you fused with your future self and now look eighteen, the military is full of monsters, we need to kill the Fuhrer to save the country, and you've apparently time-traveled to tell us all this."
Edward grimaced. "I didn't time-travel on purpose, and I'm fucking twenty-eight, you bastard."
Roy cracked the smallest smile at the retort, and the expression shot an arrow straight through Edward's chest. Shit. He didn't know it was possible, but his heart was breaking more and more each time Roy looked his way.
"I see your fond nickname for me hasn't changed over the years." He chuckled.
Edward felt something inside him break. The realization barely hit him at that moment; Edward was completely and unequivocally *still* in love with this man.
Fuck.(AKA time travel fic where Roy and Ed DID end up together originally, but it didn't work out so well. Edward is hurting, Roy is trying, and both are trying to not make the same mistakes-- though it's an extra challenge considering Edward won't tell anyone what even happened in the future--)

Summary
Living well is the best revenge, so they say. In Jake's quiet fury at the dismissive, heartless way everyone spoke of his brother's death and the complete lack of empathy he found at every turn and corner, he decides to find a way to live the best life he can possibly conceive, with the opportunity Tommy left behind for him: a fresh start on a new world... just not exactly the way the RDA vultures meant.
(In which Jake Sully pulls the ultimate con on every person who failed to treat his brother's memory with respect, and every person who failed to be kind to their fellow man.)
((Previously 'From the Ashes.'))
(On hiatus, not abandoned.)

Summary
The hand removed itself from his forehead. “Temperature is normal,” Gale announced, before using its fingers to gather some stray drool that had trailed down Astarion’s jaw. Before Astarion could register the pitiful jolt of arousal at the sudden skin contact or the sheer absurdity of what Gale was doing, Gale had stuck its fingers in its mouth.
“What the —”
“No new bacteria detected,” Gale went on, “Ruling out food poisoning.”
“Oh, Gods,” Astarion groaned. “And to think that these things are what’s sending our workforce into a tizzy. What next, 'droid? Are you about to give me a rectal examination too?”
“There is no need for one at the moment,” Gale said, confused. “Unless you are seeking prostate stimulation—”
“No!”
Amidst the softly thrumming melancholy of a dystopian, cyber-punk city, former corporate-rat Astarion Ancunín, who has long since lost the will to live, finds himself in possession of a G-413 or "Gale" - an amnesiac android who, strangely enough, enjoys living.
