    Wars Summary
    After learning of his Ancient heritage, Sephiroth abandons Shinra to become a furious and brutal member of the resistance, believing himself chosen by the Planet. With the smoke still rising from the Nibel mountains, Cloud strikes a Faustian bargain. Aeris is taken captive by Shinra's science department as a result and tries to make the most of it.

    When Sephiroth chances across Aeris in the gilded cage of Neo-Midgar, they both discover they are not as alone as they once thought.

    Summary

    After decades of work, a certain history professor takes it upon himself to publish his late friend's life's work with as much transparency as possible.

    The church, the guild, and several other organizations are split on whether or not to censor it, be it fully or even partially. There's a great deal to be ashamed of in this tale. Humanitarian failures greater by magnitudes than anything since the Great Collapse itself. In the end, they decide to allow the last wishes of the dead to be honored.

    The story of North Ambria's collapse, and hopefully eventual rise, can finally be told...

    Summary

    “Well,” Maelle asks brightly, “what did you think?”

    The pianist seemed familiar, somehow, though he is quite certain they’d never actually met before.

    “His music was very beautiful,” is what Gustave eventually settles on, “but he seemed - a little sad. Didn’t he?”

    Summary

    If the Constellation makes another move… Crossbell is fucked. Having served in both the corps and the CGF, Randy knows that the latter isn’t even in the same league. The jaegers can and will slaughter the under-manned, under-gunned, jumped-up *border patrol* in the event of a real battle.

    He can only see one way to save Crossbell from the Red Constellation. All he has to do is accept his Uncle Sigmund's offer. All he has to do is sacrifice the new life and friends and family he's built for himself in his new home.

    It'll be easy enough, considering he's a piece of shit who never deserved it.

    ****************************************************************************

    (A Jaeger Randy AU set after Azure's Intermission and continuing into the events of Cold Steel II).
