Final Fantasy Femslash -- now with humor!

I started writing fanfic in 1994 back when I was a wee lad with no idea of what a thing called "plot" was. My current style is a form of drama with a splash of self-deprecating narrative humor. I'm a fan of puns, word plays, skirting around the fourth wall (if not shattering it), asides, and irrelevancy; all of which are prevalent in my style of literary technique and in how I interact with people (some of the time).

I'm not much of a fanfic reader due to the fact I can never find exactly what I want to read. So I write it instead. I love critical feedback as prose is not something I've been doing for long, so by all means! Let me know how I'm doing!

NEWS:
Ch. 24 of Rust Never Sleeps is at approx 80%.
ALL REWRITES AND EDITS ARE NOW COMPLETED!

I aim to finish a chapter within a four week period. This does not always happen as planned. All of my regular readers, I thank you for your patience. :D

Plotting has started on an FFVI Terra/Celes one-shot, While My Alegience Gently Weeps.
Plotting has started on part 3 of Alternate Scenes of FFVII, Fists Versus Weapons Development (An Alternate Scene in Escaping Junon). (On temporary hold.)

Final Fantasy VI: Cold Fire
Cold Fire is a collective alternate universe retelling of Final Fantasy VI that focuses heavily on Terra and Celes, the relationship between the two, and their relationships with everyone else. Of course, this alters a majority of the history and narrative of Final Fantasy VI. Consider it a "What if?" experiment. Not all FFVI characters exist in this AU, or they may appear in a form different than usual. Other game characters may make small cameos.

This list below is mostly to show the preferred reading order as well as loosely explain how all installments fit together.

Part 1: An Angel of Snow - A short snippet of Terra and Celes during their time together in the academy, after Terra is set free from the Devil's Lab and before Celes is made general. *Updated 6/21/17*

Part 2: Rust Never Sleeps - (Formerly A Balance of Power) An alternate universe and altered timeline retelling of Final Fantasy VI along with some fused elements of other Squaresoft SNES and PSOne era properties.

Notes:
- Footnotes start at chapter three and continue onward where applicable.

Part 6: Rust Never Sleeps Remix: Alternate and Deleted Scenes

A collection of various bits and pieces not found Rust Never Sleeps. This includes deleted scenes, variations, outtakes, funny and/or god awful dialogue, and script variations. Examples include a script variation of the Ultros battle from chapter seven that has Locke skirting around the fourth wall with cut dialogue, Terra comparing herself to an ironing board in chapter fifteen, and Shadow's cut appearance in chapter fourteen.

Alternate Scenes of Final Fantasy VII
Exactly what it says on the tin. A collection of scenes from the same universe of FFVII in which certain things happen a little bit differently, such as Tifa's politically incorrect dialogue still occurring when Barret storms the Shinra Building or Tifa ending up on a date with Aeris at the Gold Saucer.

Part 1: Arguments in an Elevator (An Alternate Scene in Storming the Shinra Building)
Part 2: Interrupted by Fireworks (An Alternate Scene in Dating at the Gold Saucer)
