Day 18: Swan Song by Horky (Teen)

Fandom Category: Final Fantasy VII/Advent Children
Pairing: Tifa Lockhart/Cloud Strife, Aerith Gainsborough/Zack Fair
Fic Title: Swan Song
Author: Horky
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4494049/1/Swan-Song
Rating/Warning(s): Teen. Angst, major character death.
Genre: AU. Romance/Tragedy.
WIP?: No. Completed MC.

Why This Must Be Read: Imagine a world very similar to Final Fantasy VII, except bloodlines were muddled up a generation ago, and Tifa Lockhart is born with the ability to see how the people around her will die. Life goes about as well as you can imagine, with her preknowledge hanging over her head, until a whirlwind of strangers make her care about them and try even harder to change destiny.

I love the world-building and the doomed, haunted feel of the story -- just perfect for this plot. The romance is slow and believable, and Tifa and her three supporting characters are treated with such great respect. It is a treat to spot the differences and the similarities.

Stick Figures by ellumina (G)

Fandom Category: Final Fantasy VII
Pairing: Tifa Lockhart x Cloud Strife
Fic Title: Stick Figures
Author: ellumina
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5113820/1/Stick_Figures
Rating/Warning(s): G/None
Genre: AU, General, Romance
WIP?: Completed

Why This Must Be Read: This is one of those adorable quick fixes that I always come back to when I need pick-me-up fandom-style. I love Cloud's characterization as this reserved, yet quietly protective big brother figure and Tifa as the elusive stick figure drawing on Marlene's paper. It's such a cute, original set-up that you can't help but smile by the time you've finished reading.

Toward Home by Laylah, plus an extensive Cloud/Tifa reclist

Fandom Category:Final Fantasy VII (FFVII)
Pairing: Cloud/Tifa
Fic Title: Toward Home
Author: Laylah
Link: Toward Home
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17
Genre: Romance
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: This is an older Cloud/Tifa NC-17 fic, and it's very well done. Also, it's not on ff.net or LJ which seem to be two of the primary places most readers go to find fics (i.e. this one is off the beaten path). The story is placed post-Advent Children, and Cloud and Tifa are in an established relationship. Characters are in-character, as are both dialogue and sex. Nothing sophomoric about the portrayal or the writing. Also, it's very likely to be the first Cloud/Tifa smut fic to involve Fenrir, which has now become something of a staple.

I'm posting this because I stumbled across this community about a week after I finished a Cloud/Tifa reclist, and found that Cloud/Tifa is one of the requested pairings here. I've been given permission to post a link to the completed list, rather than individually post all of the stories... so here it is, please enjoy.
