Two Drabbles (FFVII and FFX)
Title: Inheritance
Fandom: FFVII
Characters/Pairings:Rufus Shinra
Rating: PG
Spoilers/Warnings: Mention of animal death
Summary: All of this, he owns
This city belongs to him, now.
There's work to be done, of course. Accounts to tally, and to terminate. His father's empire was corrupt, poorly controlled, but Rufus runs a tighter ship. He brushes a hand along the lapels of his jacket, and thinks of Dark Nation's dying cry. The beast's blood has soaked into the cloth. A loyal monster, to the end.
The chopper flies low over lights that shine like dragon's gold, and he falls back in his seat, lets weakness overtake him. It doesn't matter. All of this, he owns. It's what he's always wanted.
Isn't it?
Title:In the Ruin
Fandom: FFVII
Characters/Pairings:Auron, mention of Yuna
Rating: PG
Spoilers/Warnings: None
Summary: The city of the dead, one thousand years later
Zanarkand is over the next rise. With luck, they'll arrive tomorrow.
That city is full of ghosts, Auron knows. The dead hunger for what they cannot have, for warmth and light, for shelter. Desire is suffering is illusion. The things we hold, hold us.
He remembers a child on a white sand beach, barefoot with mismatched eyes, pressing a seashell into the palm of his hand.
“I found this,” had said. “It's mine, but you can have it, if you like. To remember me by.”
Zanarkand waits. Auron rests his head in his hands, and is silent.
Can I have a tag for Final Fantasy 10, please?
