FRIENDS CUT
& going friends only

I've been debating with myself over the last couple of days, and I've finally decided to make my LJ friends only. So, considering the switch, it's probably a good idea to do a friends cut. Give everyone who wants out a chance to do so.

Please leave a comment here if you'd like to stay. Don't fret about never commenting on entries or anything - if you want to stay, that's enough for me.

My fanfiction will stay unlocked, but will probably be moved to a new journal in the near future.

Title: 89
Author: magchan
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII.
Pairing: None are really mentioned. But I wrote it with Zack x Aeris, Aeris x Zack in mind.
When: Crisis Core.
Rating: G.
Genre: Angst. Or more like heartbreak, if that's even a genre. It should be.
Words: 272.
Time: 40 minutes.
Spoilers: Aeris' letter. Kinda. If you squint.
Summary: It was probably the shortest letter she had written yet.
Notes: It's not new. It's not daring. It's not long. It was still stuck inside my chest.

( It was a strange feeling of calmness that filled her, as she started down at the pristine envelope in her hands. )

Title: Never Want to Leave
Author: magchan.
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII.
Pairing: Zack x Aeris, Aeris x Zack.
When: Pre-game.
Rating: PG.
Genre: Sort of angsty, yet mainly focusing on romance.
Words: 533.
Time: 100 minutes.
Spoilers: None.
Summary: I would always remember how much I dreaded waking up on those mornings, because they meant I had to leave your side.

( 'Don't go.' )

Title: A Different Kind Of Freedom
Author: magchan.
Beta reader: halfling_rogue.
Fandom: Final Fantasy IX.
Pairing: Zidane x Garnet, Garnet x Zidane.
When: Post-game.
Type: Vignette. Zidane's POV.
Rating: PG-13.
Genre: Romance.
Words: 1180.
Time: 124 minutes.
Spoilers: None that I can think of.
Summary: Sometimes it takes some courage to open the door of a cage.
Notes: Two lines taken from Alicia Keys' If I Ain't Got You, used as a "meme challenge" posted by halfling_rogue, who also supplied the title, summary and betaing (as stated above) because I shouldn't be allowed to write when I've only had two hours of sleep. XD

( The first time I ran into a clear example of duty, I foolishly mistook it for loyalty. )

Title: Of Kisses and a Princess.
Author: magchan.
Beta reader: halfling_rogue, who deserves much love and cookies.
Fandom: Final Fantasy IX.
Pairing: Zidane x Garnet.
When: Around the time of the second visit to Lindblum.
Genre: Romance. Of the fluffy kind.
Words: 845.
Time: About an hour.
Spoilers: None, or at least nothing that will ruin your first time playing the game.
Summary: Kissing doesn't mean much when you are an actor, or at least this is what Zidane has made himself believe. But this doesn't mean that a certain princess cannot come around and prove him otherwise... Even without meaning to do so.
Mirror: FanFiction.Net and the Zidane x Garnet community.

( Being an actor made sure that you knew that during your life you would have to kiss people who you normally couldn't stand, and it made you realize that not every kiss meant an 'I love you'. )

Warnings: Mentions of female slash.
Notes: I have no idea what triggered this esotaria XO, but for some reason I was trying to get into Tatsuki's mind and I came up with this. I've labelled it as an AU, as currently it could be considered fanfiction, but I'd rather not have to come and change it later. XP No spoilers, really, as I wasn't focusing on plot but on introspection. But if you want an approximate time, it'd have to be around chapter 208 of the manga.

( Her face was wet, and there were tears of pain, and there was rain, and to be honest, she couldn't for the life of her tell the difference between the two at the moment. )

Title: Humans are Animals of Habit.
Pairing: Zidane x Garnet.
Type: Post-game.
Genre: Humor.
Words: 278.
Time: Five minutes.
Summary: Being the guardian of the queen is actually harder than it seems.

( The first time Steiner heard an odd noise near the royal chamber, he paid it no mind. )

Title: The Art of Performing.
Pairing: Garnet x Zidane.
Type: Vignette. POV. Pre-Game.
Genre: Romance.
Words: 481.
Time: 13 minutes.
Summary: Acting is something that comes naturally to some.

( People always say it is easier to watch than to act. )

Title: Sunset's Orison.
Rating: PG-13.
Characters: Hao, Ren.
Status: One-shot.
Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King or any of its characters. I'm merely using them for the fun of it.
Notes: Tried a new kind of writing style. :3 Please tell me what you think, and feel free to poke at me if you see any spelling/grammatical mistakes.
Summary: A simple question in the sunset. A prayer for things unspoken.

Rating: G, for light shonen-ai again.
Characters or Pairing: Again, Sora and Sunao. Only this time... We get Sora.
Status: One-shot, companion/sequel to 'Watching for an untold whisper'. No one requested it, but... I couldn't stop myself from writing it. :P
Disclaimer: Sora, Sunao and the others sadly don't belong to me. I just use them for my evil purposes, without making any profit from it.
Notes: Still, I've only watched until episode 6. So you have been warned. Hopefully you will enjoy this little fic, which I think is longer than the companion piece. xD Oh well. Please review, as reviews make Mag happy. :3
Summary: You never thought your own mind could drive you to think that way. But then again, you never thought you could lie so well to yourself.

Rating: G, for light shonen-ai.
Characters or Pairing: Sunao, Sora. So yep, you know what to expect. ^_~
Status: One-shot, possible companion to another one if anyone wants it to be.
Disclaimer: Sora and Sunao don't belong to me, because, well, if they did, I'd be kinda rich... And have a mansion, and lots of consoles, and home-theater, and all that nifty stuff... *clears throat* But that's not the point! The point is... Something I forgot. Meh, just read the fic already. :P
Notes: Yup, so I've only watched until episode 6 (As BitTorrent refuses to finish downloading the rest), so please don't blame me if there's anything that doesn't make sense. xD I was telling myself I wouldn't write anything until I got a better feel of the characters... But the plot-bunnies kept bothering me! It's all their fault, I tell you! *eyeshift* So yep... Hope you like. Reviews are always welcomed, encouraged and appreciated. ^_^
Summary: Sometimes when you watch the one you love sleep, that small moment can be when your mind is the most clear.
