Summary
Sephiroth and Cloud didn’t intend to breed an army. Cloud would just rather gnaw his own arm off than see a doctor after what Hojo did to him to go on birth control and with nearly half the pregnancies ending up with multiples, well, at least the planet isn’t in want of saviors even if it now also has some additional problems on its hand.

The Discovery of Mistletoe by birdsandivory
Fandoms: Final Fantasy XIII Series (Video Games)

Summary
“What is it?”
Noel turns the discovery in his palm, regarding its gently curling leaves and pearly clusters of fruit with a furrowed brow. One of the vendors selling flowers in the marketplace handed it over with an amused look in her eye, telling him that he should take it as a gift—that it’s something very special and coveted during winter time in Academia. Noel had accepted it graciously, hiding his confusion behind a kind smile.
But he has no idea what it is. A bundle of leaves and... berries, he guesses? A “special” bundle of leaves and berries with a ribbon tied to it that suggests its use as a decoration instead of a treat.
Doesn’t look edible, anyway.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these before.”

Noel comes across a bundle of mistletoe.

I Love You Snow Villiers by sharadaskye
Fandoms: Final Fantasy XIII Series (Video Games)
17 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
You are Serah's best friend in Bodhum and she told you she wanted to explore the fal'Cie, so you agreed to go with her. Your biggest problem at the time was that you were in love with Snow Villiers - who was engaged to your best friend.
Turns out you're also a tool meant to destroy Cocoon so you find yourself wrapped up with Lightning and Snow in a plot to save Cocoon....somehow. Serah makes you promise to protect Snow and while you agree, it begins to eat at you from the inside. Protecting Snow - the man you love - feels like a slap in the face of Serah's memory and leaving him behind means breaking your promise.

I wanted to write an FF13 Snow centric m/m love story but it turned into a whole world adjustment where you are along for the ride. Written without a beta.

Final Fantasy Suscitatio XIII by GenesisArclite

Summary
The final thirteen days have come, and Lightning's task starts off simply: go to Nova Chrysalia, save as many as she can, run out the clock. But everything turns upside down when she faces her eternal rival one last time... and the scheming Lumina convinces her to bring him along. With Caius unexpectedly at her side, Lightning finds her journey suddenly going off the rails. After all, Noel didn't know he survived. Sazh knows he destroyed the world. Snow blames him for both the world's current state and the death of his beloved Serah. Now, every single one of her old friends is forced to face reality sooner than intended, and in ways no one could have ever dreamed.
As for Hope, he isn't thrilled about this, either. And that's not even getting into how Bhunivelze feels...
[Written in response to the lack of screentime all our old favorites received in LR, and gives everyone a much bigger role. Very much a slow burn with some major changes to the story.]

"the living don't need gods, but the dead do."
and yet, here they were. a new world, and still six whole gods to govern them that they never asked for.
it'd be massively concerning for claire, if she could remember any of it.
