    Summary

    "You’re welcome, Spikey,” Zack says breathlessly, running his hands down Cloud’s waist, pulling him in loosely. Their noses touch.

    “Every time. I’ll save you every time.”

    Cloud chokes back a sob and nods.

    Zack Fair and Cloud Strife meet each other over hundreds of different timelines. They all end with them in love. They all end with at least one of them dead.

    It's time for Zack, Cloud, and Aerith to break the cycle. (A loose Remake explanation/interpretation)

    Summary

    Great Pretender Week Day 5 - Gacha Machines/Capsules

    If there's one thing Makoto's string of lovers has in common, is that they're as fascinated about Makoto's hobby as he is. They like hearing about Makoto's jumble of historical figures and facts, indulging him when he pops into konbinis and arcades to pull a few capsules.

    And then occasionally, they leave something for him inside a hollow gacha capsule.

    Usually only a really good fuck does this, and Makoto never throws them away. He keeps it inside his apartment back home, little knick-knacks that remind him of good times and good companies.

    Summary

    There is a script for this, Makoto knows. This is when Makoto refuses and banters with Laurent, so that Laurent can feel both justified and superior when he finally, inevitably gets his way, but Makoto is too tired today. He's ready for the scene to end.

    (or: Makoto, after the Tokyo Job)

    Summary

    Edamura's final act is, in many ways, his simplest. He disappears. AU where Edamura's speech at the end was earnest.

    Salazar reaches over to push the shirt up another few inches before he can decide it’s none of his business.

    “Jesus Christ,” he breathes.

    Rust, all the way up: a tear of it across the kid’s chest, under off-white gauze that should have been changed when Edamura showed up on his doorstep last night if not the day before that. He does quick math in his head: a flight from fuck knows where, a day on either side to go from whatever did this to sitting on a plane to Los Angeles.

    A hand wraps around his wrist loosely. When he looks up, Edamura is staring at him, nothing in his eyes but that same tired apology.

    “Are you in danger?” Salazar asks.

    Edamura smiles wryly. “No. I wouldn’t have brought that to you two.”
