Only A Paper Moon











{October 26, 2009}   “Dancing Cheek To Cheek”

Dancing Cheek To Cheek

Original Work: Final Fantasy VIII

Summary: Squall is just beginning to appreciate his general appeal to the laaaaaadies. Will Seifer’s meddling cause a setback?

Spoilers: Very light end-of-game spoilers. Although they’re kind of counterbalanced by things that definitely don’t happen.

Warnings: Implied sex.

Preference Warnings: Non-canon joke ‘pairing’ that is more popular than the canon pairing, lets be realistic about this. Blatant silliness.

Notes: I wrote this years ago as a kind of spiritual sequel to Imitation Leather (though their only real connection is that neither of them is plausible) and a commemoration of my friendship group discovering the… uh, of the boys love phenomenon. My friends did not end up reading it until some years later, at which point it killed them with lolwtfs. I think, “Seifer, are you high?” should totally be a line in the game.

{October 26, 2009}   “Imitation Leather”

Imitation Leather

Original Work: Final Fantasy VIII

Summary: When things with Rinoa turn a little pear-shaped due to an unexpected revelation, Squall hits upon a really novel way of resolving the situation.

Spoilers: Character introductions and some really obvious relationships.

Warnings: Sexual references.

Preference Warnings: Silliness, some characters dragged mildly OOC and absolutely no attempt made to make this fit with canon.

Notes: I wrote this almost ten years ago now before ever playing FFVIII, as a joke for some friends. It ended up being the gift that kept on giving, as my first ever finished fan fiction (and only, for some time) and a piece of writing from my teen years that isn’t overly cringeworthy now, though that’s mostly because of its silly nature.
