    Summary

    The bell above the door chimes, which is not spectacular, because it's been doing that all morning, because they are — duh — in the middle of their morning rush. Ed isn't even looking anywhere in the direction of the door, because he's way too goddamn busy to look over at each individual person who comes in, are you kidding? But — just — he's handing someone a bag full of bear claws and eclairs, and he glances up at just the wrong time, and he—

    Fumbles. The bag. So lucky it's a bag of pastries and not, you know, coffee, because this way he can just apologize and accept the customer's mumbled attempt to wave it off and move on, and nobody suffers any first-degree burns. But it's not his fault, he's just doing his job; the real problem is, workplace distractions are dangerous — probably there's some OSHA shit about that, he could look it up, maybe, for the sake of making his argument — and nothing and no one even half as distracting as the man perusing the self-serve donut case on the back wall has ever walked into Curtis fucking Bakery before.

    Summary

    “If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.” – The Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli.

    After a failed attempt to infiltrate Hojo’s lair and exact revenge for his father’s murder, Vincent returns to his mother’s house in Wutai, mangled and barely able to control Chaos, with his father’s former servant and her newborn child in tow.

    After being temporarily sent to Nibelheim by his mother to escape equally dangerous Midgarian politics, Rufus narrowly escapes an assassination attempt with the help of a local boy.

    Years later, both of these encounters shift the course of their lives.

    Summary

    The business of family is built on sacrifice.

    -

    There were three true horrors released by The Jenova Project.

    An infection, lingering in a dissolving body, hidden in a holding tank, exhumed from a wounded earth.

    A man so monstrous it became real, fated to consume itself from the inside out, endless.

    And a child of burden to it all.

    -

    OG canon compliant interpretation of The Jenova Project, where Sephiroth is the product of human failures enabled by the ShinRa. The monsters are human, the end point is madness, and the house is, maybe, haunted - by all the things called home to die.
