    Writing is tense. You feel the tightrope Shepard walks between the Reapers and Sephiroth.

    What would it be like to die here? What do you want to be when you rot? I want flowers seeping out of my jaw, snaking around my bones. I want something to grow out of me.

    Summary

    “Okay,” says Desmond, not overthinking it, “I’ll accept your spiritual Fedex delivery on behalf of Earth.”

    “His name is Cloud,” she says, like she nearly forgot to mention it. “Cloud Strife.” Desmond gets a fleeting mental image of wild-looking blond hair and a disgruntled expression, which is kind of funny.

    “Hell of a name,” he says.

    “He’s, um…” He means a lot to her, in complicated ways. “He might not… remember stuff… correctly. You’ll keep an eye on him, won’t you?” she asks a little bit desperately.

    “I mean, I don’t really have any guardian angel-type powers in the Grey,” says Desmond. “Otherwise I’d be watching Earth like reality TV all the time, believe me.”

    “Ah,” says Aerith. “About that."

    Summary

    It seems horribly fitting that when Marta’s soulbond arrives, it’s in the most absurdly ridiculous, horrible way imaginable. It involves the Thrombeys, so of course something that should be wonderful just ends up being terrible in the end.

    Summary

    "Where am I? Where is this?" and he was in Brooklyn, he was on a beach, the train was shaking around him. He was in the plane, ice splintering up onto the windshield. He was in a tank, tubes trailing from his face, from his groin. Christ, he was cold. There was still ice on his fingers. He was in the Grand Canyon. He was in Times Square. This couldn't be Times Square. Where the hell was this? "Tell me! Where am I, who are you, where's—" —Bucky?

    Summary

    There wasn’t anything left to salvage. That’s what Fury believed. It would have been a kindness to put him down.

     

     

    When SHIELD finally releases Bucky from custody, he is not the man anyone expects him to be. Steve struggles to reconcile the stranger with the man who was once his best friend, but with Hydra regrouping after the events at Triskelion, Steve is dragged back into battle when Bucky needs him the most. Meanwhile, Hydra is itching to have its prize weapon back under their control, and a devastating betrayal pits Bucky against a terrible piece of ex-SHIELD tech that threatens to destroy everything he's struggled to rebuild. In order to survive, he must decide who he is going to be: the vulnerable Bucky Barnes or the indomitable Winter Soldier? It turns out there might not be as big a difference as everyone seems to think.

    Probably a more realistic take on Bucky's post-Hydra recovery, and Steve's mental health, but still completely engrossing.

    Summary

    After three years of slavery, Bucky's suddenly free again. He's not sure how to come back from that. Doing everything right just feels like going through the motions, but he has to keep going anyway - because there are some very wrong things he cannot afford to want.

    A more real story of recovery from trauma. Slow, unsteady, and hardly smexy at all, but all the more encouraging for it.

    There are so many healthy and accepting relationships in this story - which is not something I expected to say about a fic with man-eating aliens, torture/BDSM kinks, and sociopathic tendencies.

    Also, well written, hot, and overall just fun.

    An oddly angry kind of fixit, and a completely welcome perversion of the soulmate trope.
    unfinished, but still brilliant.

    Hawke stayed behind in the Fade, fully prepared to die.

    She was not prepared to wake up in the city of Midgar with a teenage Cetra looming over her, healing her wounds. Or to find a man degrading with the Blight in a world that had no idea what Blight was.

    Genesis does not want a student and Kunsel does not want a mentor. If they occasionally stand next to each other when voicing general pieces of advice that is entirely coincidental. A short story of an unlikely friendship that takes off despite everyone's best efforts.

    Sephiroth had been right. He would never be a memory.

    But it was amazing how even the most horrific existential terror could become mundane, given long enough.

    Summary

    “I just had the best idea I have ever had in my life,” Bucky said, punching straight through a doombot with his metal hand and clutching the napkin with Steve’s phone number in the other. The formerly (somewhat) dark and peaceful corner of Central Park was now lit up with energy beams, flashing robotic lights, and panicked astronomy buffs running for cover. Oh well, it wasn't like they'd been going to see many stars what with all the Christmas shit everywhere.

    “The bar you are setting for that is not high,” Natasha told him over the coms.
