@scorching-passion -- [ INHALE ]:  while embracing or in close proximity to the receiver, the sender inhales slowly, smelling their hair in the process.

"H-hey...You alright?" Roche’s sniffs are not entirely surreptitious. Zack can hear the distinct ‘hff hff hffff’ when Roche draws in breath through his nose. As deep and as slow as a diver preparing to submerge themselves into a pool of water.

Breathe in. 

Hold your breath. 

Release.

Rise to the surface.

True, they haven’t exactly emerged from the best of straits. Zack shoves away a fallen wooden beam, splintered at the end into countless tiny, sharp points, with a solid kick of his boot as he tightens an arm around Roche’s waist and scoots them back away from the collapsed end of the hallway and the flames crawling up the walls. Rather than let them proceed farther into the fortress, the Wutaian officers charged with the defense of one of Godo’s lesser castles had started blowing up the main hallways that led into the heart of the castle. The structure was one of Wutai’s oldest holdings, built with a combination of native woods and stone rather than modern methods that incorporated steel and concrete. 

Much of Wutai feels like a time capsule, evidenced by the many traditions still exercised by its peoples and villages and towns that probably look no different today than they did in decades past.

Adrenaline tremors through his arms and shaky breaths pulled between his teeth. 

“I probably don’t smell too great,” he laughs. Exertion, ashy, pulverized stone and scattered sawdust. His ears are still ringing from the blast. Zack slides his arm up along Roche’s back, patting between his shoulders with an audible ‘pap pap.’ “C’mon, let’s get up. Try to…” Zack huffs out a breath. C’mon, stop shaking, stop shaking. “Try to keep moving. Complete the mission.” 

Through hellfire and brimstone, apparently. 

Every inch of ground they can claim is critical to the war effort, or so they have been told. Told, and expected to believe. Without question. Without faltering. Setting his jaw, Zack pulls Roche up with him and staggers to his feet. 

Can’t look rattled, not when he has people relying on him. Zack uses the back of his hand to wipe away the soot smudging his cheek and grins at Roche.

“Race ya?”

@scorching-passion -- "It's your experience. You're the expert, I'm just along for the ride."

“Have you considered getting off the ride?” Cloud asks, a growl roughing at the edges of his question as the rear wheel squeals and wobbles underneath the sudden additional weight at the back of his bike. 

This isn’t the first time their paths have crossed, but it’s a first for him to encounter someone fucking crazy enough to leap off some ledge Planet knows where onto a moving bike streaking through Midgar’s arterial expressway. He barely had time to brace and steady his mount by the time he registered Roche’s shadow dropping down overhead with a deranged peal of laughter. The only thing that stops Cloud from taking a swing at Roche with the Buster Sword is the fact that the SOLDIER perched behind him hasn’t drawn his own weapon.

Roche seems more interested in play as opposed to fight…or doing his job in any capacity for that matter, and perhaps that puzzles Cloud most of all. Satisfied with his threat assessment, Cloud’s nose wrinkles as he looks down and to the side in the gap under his arm where he can see Roche crouched along the curved, stiff shell of the fender behind the pillion seat with a slaphappy grin. 

“Tch. Whatever. I’m not responsible if you fall off.”

Running additional errands for Tifa keeps him productive and pulling in additional gil between Avalanche’s bombing missions can’t hurt. Gil is gil.

“What do you want?” Cloud glances over his shoulder, sharp, steely, at Roche as the wind whistles past their ears and he weaves his bike seamlessly between rusty work trucks, weary commuter sedans, and the occasional lorry that rattles loudly on it shocks in passing. “Told you before, ‘m not interested in dancing.”

I keep thinking about the point that hbomb makes about how plagiarists fundamentally don't respect the people they're stealing from. while he brilliantly showcased this by everything he brought up in the video, I do think the most unintentionally damning evidence of this is the lie James Somerton decided to double down on about what happened with Alexander Avila, claiming that he "accidentally" took Avila's video from another "highlight reel" on YouTube, not knowing that the highlight reel was "sourced" from Avila, so it was a "mistake" and he "fixed it".

and I'm just. he says this like if he'd just known it was """sourced""" from Avila he wouldn't have taken it. like it would've been okay to take it otherwise?? like highlight reels themselves don't take time and effort to make????? like if that highlight reel WERE just made by some no name fan on youtube and not by Another YouTuber™️ it would've been fine to just take it with zero fucking credit??????????

"nooo haha I didn't steal from that other respected YouTuber, I actually stole it from someone far less important!!!"

and he decided this was the acceptable lie that's supposed to absolve him from having done anything wrong. what a fucking piece of shit.

@marusomongrel -- ❝ do you wanna dance? ❞ [*bother bother bother*]

“...I don’t dance.”

That’s a lie, partially. Squall knows how to dance. He does not, however, actively engage in dancing.  

Shinra’s HQ houses a remarkable inner sanctum on some odd floor known to few except those rare employees that have graduated beyond the middle management level.

Its grand architect carved out beautiful marble columns, each crowned with the Shinra family crest. Heavy red curtains with golden tassels are draped between each ribbed pillar, lending to the growing sense of opulence for any guest who steps into the hall. Pale granite tiles, speckled with bits of gold, stretch from one wall to the next. Floor to ceiling windows, granting a kingly view of the maze-like nest of buildings that spread out from Midgar’s center.

“Try next door,” the brunet suggests, lifting one hand over his folded arm to point at a cluster of revelers standing less than fifteen feet away.

@scorching-passion​

The city can be their playground, even as the crowds thin, as curtains draw, doors shutter, and shopkeepers sweep off their doorsteps. Dark alleyways and empty phone booths, lonely cafe tables, and neat rows of televisions behind glass walls. Blue light and nightly news, streaming off the shelves as the silhouettes of two SOLDIERs pass the storefront. At regular intervals, fork-necked street lights illuminate the way down through Sector Eight and reflect off glossy stones and brushed metal surfaces in warm, brassy tones. 

They are both in uniform. Neatly starched pants, bloused at the bottom, boot-heel click along the sidewalk as the two men move in-sync down the cobblestone avenue. The very picture of a handsome propaganda poster extolling the majesty and heroism of Shinra’s first line of defense against nefarious Wutain villains that would seek to disturb good peoples’ way of life.

A pair of SOLDIERs; imposing, deadly– unless anyone watching on actually bothers to listen to what they are saying.

“Puh-lease,” Zack loads all his doubt on the second syllable and glances at Roche with a vehemently unconvinced shake of his head. "I've been climbing trees and cliffs since I could walk. How hard could it be to climb around in Midgar?" 

Contrary to what most amateurs may think, climbing is all in the legs. To reach the greatest heights, to grapple against gravity, pushing off with your legs instead of constantly wasting energy trying to pull yourself up over ledges is the only way to go. The same principles ought to apply even if the jungle is a concrete one instead of an organic one. 

He eyes a nearby fire escape in the partially water-logged alleyway next to them as they walk past the gurgling fountain at the heart of Loveless Avenue. The lowest rung of the copper-rust colored ladder hangs about six, maybe eight feet off the ground. Easy for any SOLDIER to hop up and latch onto. The trick is jumping up onto the drop ladder without releasing the hook that keeps it in its track. 

Zack may or may not have discovered what it feels like to slide down an ill-maintained ladder with a tooth-rattling jolt in his earlier ventures onto Midgar rooftops. 

"What'd ya call it– parkour? Piece a cake. Let's do it!” He balls his hands into fists, peppers the air with quick jabs. “Parkour our asses all the way back to HQ."

Off-duty SOLDIERs are a dangerous lot. Especially ones that easily bore. Especially ones that are inclined to make up competitions over nothing in particular. The proposal is not a suggestion, because Zack has already sprung off the path to take a running start, coil, leap, grab and curl mid-air to get both hands and feet onto the ladder rungs. 

The metal beneath his fingers and boot tread vibrates from the force of his landing. But it holds. 

Up he goes, scrambling onto the platform with exaggerated haste. Zack turns long enough to give Roche a cheeky two-fingered salute before taking the steps up two at a time in a sprint to the roof. 

“Later, loser!”

@marusomongrel-- 18 .   a  kiss  during  combat . [Blown kiss from Roche, lmao]

Cloud feels his eye twitch as he brings up his sword to ward away flying sparks. Too bad it doesn’t block out the manic sound of the other man’s laughter as he skids past on his fire-engine red monstrosity of a bike.

What the hell’s up with this guy? He’s...crazy...

Maybe that had been a miss. A kiss for the wrong target, given that there are clearly better ones around. He glances over at Jessie, but she just shrugs helplessly at him.

“Think he meant you, big boy.”

“Wasn’t asking.”

“Totally were.”

 Cloud makes an irritated ‘tsk’ sound by sucking on the back of his teeth. For once, he’d be perfectly content to carry on this argument if it meant he didn’t have to acknowledge Roche. The SOLDIER seems on the verge of wolf whistling at him to reacquire Cloud’s attention once more. That’s a scenario he wants to avoid.

Outright hostility typically sends the right message. The point of his sword swings outward, drawing a direct line of sight from where his arm extends out to the bottom of Roche’s chin. Finding his gaze met with a lazy grin, Cloud growls. “Not looking for a date. Buzz off.”

It's Valentine's day! You there, browsing the tag. Have you ever thought 'I like Nick Valentine, but I wish he starred in two novels lovingly written in the prose style of a detective noir from 1943, and so help me God, I don't want to pay a cent for it?' No! Nobody has! What an unusually specific dream!

But it's too late, I've already written them.

More than that, I've filled them with art, too.

If this sounds like something you'd like, you can find the full series (the two books and two small side stories) here.
