Summary
Two takes on a favorite trope.
In the first chapter Olivia is kidnapped, in the second Sephiroth is, in neither case does this turn out well for the kidnapper.
***
“I hate politicians,” Sephiroth muttered, strapping his pauldrons tight and cinching his waistguard. He paused at his secretary’s desk on his way out. “Remind me to get revenge.”
“Already penciled it in,” chirped his secretary. “Not that you’d forget!”
“Remind me anyhow,” said Sephiroth, and headed for the elevators.

Summary
Siblings Olivia and Matt are transmigrated into Crisis Core era FFVII. Matt is a huge Final Fantasy fan, so when he sees Shinra coming, he runs like hell. Olivia knows nothing about Final Fantasy, so she ends up in Hojo's lab.
Hojo delivers Olivia into Sephiroth's care, hoping to breed his new alien specimen with his prize SOLDIER. Instead, the two form a deadly alliance.
***
The strangest thing about a body like Sephiroth's was that nudity didn't make him more vulnerable.
His hot villain getup was intimidating, for sure. It broadened his shoulders, emphasized his height. But it also added personality, for lack of a better word. Black leather for that cool bad guy vibe. Voluminous skirt on the coat for a regal flare. The harness was clearly a thirst trap. Remove the getup and he was just as threatening but so much harder to read. Scarier, in a lot of ways.

Summary
A modern OC arrives in Yiling before the start of the Sunshot Campaign. She has no friends, no money, and no cultivation. She knows what's coming, but what could she possibly do about it?
***
“Well…” I looked down at my fingernails and tried not to squirm. “If there were a way to separate Wei Wuxian from Madam Yu without ruining his relationship with his siblings, I’d encourage it. Like, as an example, marriage.”Xichen blinked. “To you?”
“No. Absolutely not. What even—?” The thought was so abhorrent I couldn’t hold it in my head. My brain spat it right back out. “To your brother.”
Xichen blinked. Again. “To Wangji?”
“Obviously?”
“This is a concern of yours?”
“I realize it’s not my business at all,” I admitted. “But you asked.”

Summary
Yuuri never goes to Detroit. He gets an offer to train with Yakov Feltsman in St. Petersburg and takes that, instead. He's about to enter the Senior division and his idol, Victor Nikiforov, is in his prime, at the apex of his spectacular winning streak.
It's the opportunity of a lifetime. More good fortune than Yuuri thinks he deserves... until he actually arrives in Russia. He's cold and lonely, fighting for scraps of attention from his coach, and he felt closer to Victor when they were continents apart.

If he fails, they're all dead anyway.

Especially love the characterization of Cloud here & the spin on Angeal as a hypocrite. Good Sephiroth, too.

Summary
Even after he tears himself free of Jenova, the Lifestream will not accept Sephiroth, but a friend's spirit is able to open a backdoor in to the past for him, and he appears in the place of his child self a decade before the events at Nibelheim. Preventing what happened is naturally his main priority, but with history thrown so far off-track, doing so is anything but simple . . .

Bookmarker's Notes
This fic has become a reliable comfort read even though Sephiroth here has two strikes against him: not only is he painfully noble and principled, he's asexual.
But the author has such a firm grip on her own take that she carries me along. Plot is interesting and the details all hang together, all the characters but especially Cloud get a chance to shine.
Especially enjoy some of the ingenious answers to common fix-it obstacles, like--for example--triggering Aerith's rain.
