sephesisweek

[sephesisweek]

I learned about the event too late for this year *sobs* but I was wondering if you fine folks might know if there are events for Angeal/Genesis, Angeal/Sephiroth and or Angeal/Genesis/Sephiroth to hold me over until the next round?

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any ship weeks related to Angeal at all, although I'll leave reblogs enabled on this post on the chance that someone else has a link to drop.

That said, @ffviirarepairweek is coming up next month, and while AGS and Gengeal aren't particularly rare, monogamous Sephgeal would definitely fall under the rarepair umbrella! The organizer of that event also takes requests during the course of it, so if you get in soon enough you may be able to ask her to write a related ficlet. Details are in the main post on the blog, so be sure to check it out!

Sephesis week day ??: Camaraderie

Just in time for the end of Sephesis week! Phew! This...was really the only thing I could think about. I had other ideas...but this was the one I fixated on.

Sephiroth: Prepare for trouble! Genesis: And make it double! Sephiroth: To protect the planet from devastation! Genesis: To ignite all people within our nation! Sephiroth: To denounce the rumors that we are gay! To extend our reach to the galax-ay! (Genesis: hey that’s my line!) Sephiroth: Sephi! Genesis: And Gen! Sephiroth: Team “Rocket” blasts off at 90% of the speed of light! Genesis: Surrender now, or prepare to fight! Chocobo: Wark! That's right!

I...had to remake the chant for them. It was a need, okay?

Click for quality.

"Genesis, why am I the only one who's speaking?"

(probably last) piece for @sephesisweek . one in which a duel between former lovers friends will decide of the planet's fate.

I suppose both reunion/divinity and "to find the end of the journey" fit here

Sephesis Week 2024 is Officially DONE!

Posts will continue to be reblogged to the main account until this Sunday, so it's fine if you're running a little behind! The Archive collection will also remain open for submissions until that time, so make sure your work is added before it closes on January 14th.

Sephesis Week will return January 1st of 2025, with the prompt list to be revealed November 13th, 2024. Here's to doing it all again next year!

As a special thank-you to everyone who took part, Sephesis Week organizer @getvalentined has created a set of "badges" for all participants to use in profiles, to print off for personal use, and to repost on your own social media to let everyone know about your contribution to the event!

I Participated in Sephesis Week 2024 ▏ For anyone who filled at least one prompt over the course of the event. This event literally wouldn't have happened without you!

I Completed Sephesis Week 2024 ▏ For anyone who filled seven prompts total over the course of the event. You did it! You climbed the whole mountain!

I Did Sephesis Week 2024 (and I was super spicy about it) ▏ This one is specifically for creators whose prompt fills were on the adult side, whether truly explicit or otherwise. Sugar is nice, but we all love some spice!

Standard Size: 1000x1000px (for small prints and reposts)

These can be printed off up to 3x3 inches in size without losing clarity, allowing you to pin them to a joyboard, run them off on adhesive material to make your own stickers, use the files to make your own buttons—the sky is the limit! These are also the best size to repost on your own social media without looking particularly grainy, so if you want to share your badge to celebrate your participation, use one of these files!

Small Size: 200x200px (for profiles and webpages)

Note that tumblr doesn't allow hotlinking of images hosted on their platform, so you'll have to save these and host them somewhere else if you want to show them off somewhere! If you don't have access to your own image host, you can embed using the code from the following links:

At their native size, these files are about 8.5 inches (21 cm) square at a resolution of 300dpi; there are a lot of options on what to do with these files, so it's entirely up to you.

NOTE: These badges are provided for personal use by participants of Sephesis Week 2024 and may be resized or given minor color corrections for theme matching. The badges may not be copied, traced, or otherwise modified, used commercially, added to machine learning datasets, fed into image generators of any kind, utilized in any form of blockchain technology, used to facilitate any kind of harassment, or for any purposes unrelated to this event.

sephesis week day 7. passion / devotion: "the bringer of life."

-

"Slower," Genesis urges, squeezing Sephiroth's elbow lightly. "There's no rush."

"I'm aware," Sephiroth grits out. Though he sounds decidedly less than pleased with the fact, it's entirely too telling that he heeds Genesis's words with no further complaint, pausing for longer between each step they take.

There's something almost sobering about the way his knuckles turn white as he grips at the railing, the way his limbs tremble like a newborn fawn's, the way the pallor to his skin never seems to fade. Sephiroth has always been inhumanly pale in a way reminiscent of a marble statue, but now it only seems sickly rather than ethereal.

Still, Genesis's concern is easily outweighed by his giddiness, light enough in his chest he may as well be floating. Sephiroth is back. Sephiroth is here, safe in Genesis's arms, the weight of him warm and solid despite his startling thinness.

When Sephiroth stumbles once more, Genesis catches him easily, taking the sudden extra weight in stride. Sephiroth may have lost a substantial amount of muscle mass, but his frame is still as impossibly large as ever.

Sephiroth himself takes their position far less in stride, a quiet hiss of frustration escaping his clenched teeth. The forceful shove to Genesis's chest doesn't even sway him, which of course only makes it worse. In the past, if Sephiroth had really wanted to… Oh, Genesis may have stood his ground better than most, but he's never beaten Sephiroth in a contest of sheer brute strength before.

Of course, things are different now.

"There's no rush," Genesis repeats, helping Sephiroth stand up straight again. "I'm aware this is, well, new for you, but you'll build back your muscle in time. Considering all those years they spent atrophying, I'd say your recovery so far has been quite—"

"Smooth?" The sarcasm in Sephiroth's voice cuts sharp like a knife. "Or did you perhaps mean to say easy?"

All of Sephiroth is sharper these days. Colder. Angrier. And underneath it all—

"You and I both know I'll never be the same as I was… before." Sephiroth looks away. Though they still haven't even broached the topic, they both know he means more than just physically. "Why are you even here, Genesis? Just to gloat?"

—more fearful.

The common assumption among ShinRa that Sephiroth had been cold and unfeeling had been wrong, of course. Genesis had known from the start. But what he hadn't known was just how deeply, how passionately Sephiroth felt—not until now. Maybe this is the version of himself that Sephiroth had kept so tightly under control, back when they were nothing more than children fighting a war they couldn't understand.

"Sephiroth, darling," Genesis says, voice soft. "Beloved. Look at me."

A pause. Then Sephiroth's eyes turn up to meet Genesis's own—paler. Bluer. But the shape of them is still heartbreakingly familiar.

"How strong you were, how little you complained, how much responsibility you took onto yourself—did you truly think those were the sole reasons I fell for you?"

Sephiroth's jaw tenses. He says nothing.

That's really the only confirmation Genesis needs, and he sighs—not in disappointment, but in sorrow. "I see. It appears I've some misconceptions to correct."

"They aren't misconceptions. Or do you intend to lie to me as well? You said so yourself: you were drawn to the newspapers. Their tales of my heroism. That's why I couldn't—I had to be strong, or else you wouldn't…."

Suddenly, Sephiroth looks very small for a man so large.

"Sephiroth." Genesis reaches up to cup his cheek. "I've all the time in the world, now. If I could spend every moment of it with you, I gladly would."

He isn't sure which of them moves first; falling into a kiss feels like the first gasp of air after being buried in a coffin of his own making.

It doesn't matter that they still haven't spoken of everything that happened, all these years apart. It doesn't matter that they haven't spoken of each other's betrayal. Those will all come with time, alongside sunshine and laughter and the sweet taste of apples on each other's lips.

Genesis has never felt more alive.

okay i HAD to do something for @sephesisweek--i wasn't able to participate for the whole thing, but i got this prompt out for devotion. taking a chance on exposing this side of fandom to my little AU that has gripped me for the past 7 years. pseudo modern 90s AU/band AU with some details changed. enjoy! -@supershadsy

flash time 114

(1997.)

"You really make me work, you know that?" he says, nearly chewing on his cigarette. He didn't even bother changing out of his uniform--just threw on his company jacket and dragged me out of the Shinra building. "Covering your stupid ass."

I grin. "You know how it is with ol' Tseng. He needs a little kick every once in a while. Need to wiggle the stick in his ass a little."

"But smoking in his office while you're supposed to be training 2nds?"

"They were fine. I had them doing squats. Angeal's 2nd loves doing that shit."

His eyes are like daggers, and it makes my adrenaline soar. Mako soaked and full of electricity. I love it when he's pissed off. Especially when I'm the culprit. "I don't think that counts," he grumbles through his teeth.

I wave my hand. "It's fine. We go way back. You saw, just a slap on the wrist and we're free to go."

"Didn't he try to kill you once?"

"Oh, sure. That's what Turks are for."

He pinches the bridge between his nose, fully exasperated, then shakes his head. "I think if you took your job more seriously, Tseng would want to kill you less."

I waggle my finger. "He should be happy that I haven't hot-boxed the executive suite. Or lit it on fire." One day, maybe. "Anyway, are you coming over tonight?"

He has to think about this. This usually happens when he cleans up my messes--he gets to reevaluate why he hangs out with me the most, and not any of the suits or goodie-goodies up in HQ. He could have anything he wants, and I mean anything--he's the darling, the strongest SOLDIER anyone's ever seen. If I didn't know any better, it's like they made him in a lab to wear the uniform and wield that stupid long katana.

And yet, he is wearing the earring I gave him. The black feather. And I'm wearing its pair.

"Gen?" he says.

I haven't been paying attention. "Huh?"

"I said yes. I'll come over."

He stops walking to look at me and take the cigarette out of his mouth. The air has a chill in it, enough to see your breath, and the steam mingles with the smoke. The sounds of the city rush in my ears, but I don't perceive anyone around us. It's just me and him on the sidewalk.

"Sounds good," I reply. My ears feel like they're on fire.

He points with his cigarette between his fingers at me. "But, don't do that shit again. Please."

"Sure, I'll try." No promises. I look at him, then the cigarette, and then take it from his fingers. He opens his mouth, as if to protest, but he doesn't.

I take a drag. I don't take my eyes off his.

He watches my lips as I blow the smoke off to the side. I feel intoxicated by the attention. That's right, look at me...

...devotee.

I smirk as I hand the cigarette back to him. He snatches it back and immediately puts it back in his mouth. Interesting.

We're silent as we complete the walk back to our building. This feeling will melt away when we're at my place, in the warmth of my apartment, and I put a record on. But, I'll savor this.

Devotion

Crossposted to AO3 here

It was beyond perfect, the ring. Purple sapphire cut to the shape of an apple and an emerald leaf, set in gorgeous white gold—yes. It was. At least, that’s what Genesis thought. 

He zoned out for several minutes, simply staring at the pretty thing resting in a small red velvet box. Blinking several times, the man roused himself from his fantasies to begin planning.

He did have to actually propose, after all. But how?

The list Genesis had put together had several options, though they all seemed…flat. A romantic dinner was too stereotypical (and public). Just getting down on one knee was anticlimactic…..

Oh. Oh yes. He could not think of anything more perfect. Goddess, it….Genesis was unable to formulate the words in his head for the pure perfectness of his idea.

———

Genesis’ request had seemed…odd, to Sephiroth. So out of the blue and last-minute. 

‘Come with me when I visit my parents in Banora in three days,’ Genesis had said. Sephiroth had not planned for such an event…but the sheer amount of excitement in Genesis’ voice made him capitulate.

Which was why he was currently on a helicopter, en route to Banora. 

Genesis was seated across from him, bouncing his leg and nervously wringing his hands. It wasn’t irritating, but it was confusing. Just like Genesis’ earlier behavior. It wasn’t like Sephiroth hadn’t met Genesis’ parents before—they knew that the two men were together, so what was the fuss?

Unimportant, right now at least, Sephiroth concluded. He supposed he’d find out soon enough.

———

Prepare yourself, Genesis thought as he took Sephiroth out to the orchards “for a walk.” 

Prepare yourself, he said to himself again as the largest apple tree came into view, as he tightened his hold on Sephiroth’s hand just a bit.

He recited his speech once again in his head as they took the final steps to the tree.

“Wait,” Genesis said softly, letting go of Sephiroth’s hand.

Slowly, he knelt to one knee.
