Two FFVII Drabbles
So, I intended to write ficcage for the holidays for everyone, but that plan never quite came to fruition because I got distracted by working on my fanfic rec list. By way of apology for the delay and for the flooding I'm about to do to y'all friends list, here are the two FFVII drabbles I wrote in prep for writing an FFVII fic for Linn. ^.^;;; Happy Holidays, y'all!!!

“I’m telling you, Spike, he was just amazing that day. I wish you could’ve seen him - I mean, I know you’ve seen him fight, but we’re talking about some of the few people who actually gave him a decent fight. He got so much stronger after that day that no one really challenged him again, but man - it was intense. For a moment even I thought he was a goner, taking on Wutai’s three most skilled fighters all at one go. Seph barely blocked the first couple of strikes, having gotten spoiled by the easy fights they’d been sending him ‘til then, but he got serious in a hurry, you know what I mean?”
Zack looked down at the trim blond lying shivering in his arms, body twitching silently from Hojo’s latest torture. Glowing blue eyes stared silently back.
“Yeah, kid, that’s what I thought you’d say.” Zack said, sighing.

“You’re kidding, right?” Zack blinked once, twice, and then returned to staring at Sephiroth, who was watching him from the other side of the desk with an unamused expression. “I mean, you’ve gotta be kidding, right?”
“No, Zack, I am not.” Sephiroth arched an eyebrow at his junior officer. “I trust that you are capable of complying with the request?”
“Yeah - I mean, yes, sir.” Zack said, shaking his head with incredulity. He turned and walked from the room, grumbling as he did so. “I just can’t believe - of all the stupid regulations ShinRa could’ve come up with - “
The door shut, blocking off the rest of the dark haired man’s words. Sephiroth smirked in his wake. Pay back could indeed be a bitch, and ShinRa’s new regulation on report submission had been just the thing to get back at Zack.
Sometimes, it was very good to be the General.
