Yeah, I finally posted it. Goddamn Merc fic.

FF7 AU. Basic plot idea: Cloud is an immortal who runs a mercenary group for fun, Sephiroth is the main mage adept in it, Zack isn't fully human, and Vincent Valentine and his brother, Chaos, are half-demon twins. Yep. Twins. If you want someone to blame, here is a collection of the pics that started the whole idea. Want to play in this universe? Feel free. Pretty much you just saw all the real canon for it. Free for all even moreso than HoS. Enjoy.

Pictures



Look Out Below

“You didn’t?”

Cloud groaned and threw a balled up dishtowel at Chaos’s head when he realized that, yes, the man had. “Chaos, you -know- as long as you have long hair guys are going to continue hitting on you. Why do you think I got mine cut finally?”

Chaos blinked slowly at the blond, then simply threw the dishtowel back. “Zack claims anything you do is simply because you are older than dirt. I believe I will follow his line of answers.”

With a muttered curse, Cloud caught the cloth. “Zack is just jealous. Of what, I don’t know, but he is. And Vincent let you do this?”

“Vincent is my brother, -not- my keeper.”

“Well, maybe we should get you one. I’m pretty sure that pitching someone out a third story window is illegal.”

“He had wings.” Still in that same calm voice.

“Not the point. I come back to life after I die. Still illegal to throw me out of a third story window. Mostly for the safety of those below, I think.” Putting the last of the dishes away, he turned and looked at the half-blood. “Hell, you have wings half the time, and I think it’s illegal to throw you out the window. Not that I’m not tempted at times.”

“Vincent would be unhappy.”

“Of course Vincent would be unhappy. But he would just shoot me and get it over with. He wouldn’t throw me out the window.”

Chaos scowled slightly. “He’s firearms, I’m hand to hand. What did you expect?”

“Well, I think the only reason Vincent would shoot me is because he knows I can come back. Not the point. Him shooting me won’t get us sued.”

With a small grumble, Chaos settled back into his chair. “Then the man should learn to not hit on me.”

Now Cloud smiled. “I don’t think that will be a problem. Besides, you were the hottest thing at the club. Not many other winged beings there.”

“Well, you shouldn’t have sent me on that night. You know how I am when I am in that state.”

“You’re right. I am partially at fault. I should have sent Sephiroth or Zack with you as back up. Well, Sephiroth, anyway. Zack’s good, but if you had -lost it- lost it, Sephiroth could have bound you until you calmed.” Cloud paused a moment, then did a formal bow. “I do apologize.”

A small noise. “Don’t bow like that, Cloud. It’s disturbing to remember that you officially hold noble status.”

With a small sigh, Cloud straightened. “I know you guys hate Shinra with a passion, but their family is bloodtied to me. Anyway, my point was that I would like you to not throw any more people out the window unless they are trying to damage you, Vincent, Sephiroth, or Zack.”

“And what about yourself?”

A shrug. “I get better. I’d rather you concentrate on the others. You and Zack are the best at hand to hand, and I like having not dead partners.”

With a low rumble, Chaos slid to his feet and moved forward, pinning Cloud to the counter. “Looks like we need to have another lesson on why you should have a bit more care about your person,” he purred leaning in to kiss the man. A moment of pause, and his horns slid out of his skull. “And no jokes,” he murmured against Cloud’s lips.

“Is Zack you have to worry ‘bout, not me,” Cloud muttered back, hands lifting to trace the highly sensitive skin around there the horns protruded. “And you’re only doing this so I’ll stop lecturing you.”

“Is it working?” Another slow, long kiss. After a bit, Chaos pulled back and looked at Cloud.

“Sure, why the hell not? Just…don’t pitch anyone else out the window.”

“I wouldn’t have except he made a comment about you. So as long as they don’t do that, no more will get thrown out windows.”

“I don’t even want to know what the comment was. But, really, stop tossing people out the window. I can deal with them myself.”

Chaos didn’t answer, simply went back to kissing Cloud.

Vincent, who had been looking for his brother and wanting to make sure Cloud hadn’t killed him, stepped into the room, then sighed. “You two need to get a room. Seriously.”

He had no difficulty interpreting the gesture from Cloud. It clearly meant “I own the whole fucking building. All these rooms are mine.” Reason it was so easy to tell was Cloud said that. A lot.

Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, he was better trained than that, Vincent simply went to the fridge and pulled out some drinks. He paused before leaving, admiring the pretty picture the pair made. Just because he was related didn’t mean he couldn’t look. He -was- half-demon, after all. And demons did have notoriously loose morals.

Well, he might just have to visit Sephiroth or Zack in a bit, mightn’t he?

this looks really promising and those pictures are so pretty, I will be waiting for the rest :D

*grins* Open universe. Anyone can write it in. You got a fic idea, feel free to do it. I'll write more eventually, but I don't know when. Feel free to spread the love, as well. The more people who read this, the more who might want to write in it. *nods*

Glad you like it.

From: [identity profile] tripoverhercats.livejournal.com


purrs at Chaos.

Demons... no impulse control. Toss one guy out a window for hitting on you, then molest another one in the kitchen.

Vincent was priceless too...

hmmm.. .will have to see what the bunnies think...

From: [identity profile] icedark-elf.livejournal.com


*sneaks the bunnies over some food* You know you want to. You can do almost anything in this universe. Comedy to angst to full out battle scenes. Anything is possible. *nods*

I love the brothers already. So much fun.

From: [identity profile] solitaryjane.livejournal.com


Wow, this AU could end up in some mass orgy scenes. :-)
Oh, by the way, where did you get the pictures? Especially the ones with the four working in the control room. I've been looking for that for a while. Link?

From: [identity profile] icedark-elf.livejournal.com


That is a whole lot of pretty, isn't it?

The pictures are onces people keep sending me, though the Turk/Chaos Vincent ones are all Twilight of the Dark Master. Some are from 7th Gate, I think it was, and there is a mix of others. I'll see if I can't find out where they were from.

From: [identity profile] icedark-elf.livejournal.com


*grins* Free for all universe, baby. I have my own mental version of kind of canon, but that's only mine. I do plan on writing more, and I hope you enjoy it, but feel free to play in this universe yourself, if you'd like. *grins wildly*

From: [identity profile] jessara40k.livejournal.com


No, I don't think so. Your Sephiroth muse is pretty different to mine, so I don't think they'd mesh well.

From: [identity profile] icedark-elf.livejournal.com


Ah, that's the beauty of it. They don't have to mesh. Shared universe and there will be no set canon other than Cloud's immortal, Vincent and Chaos are twin half demons, Zack's more than human, and Seph is a magic adept. Free for all other than that. *grins* You know you wanna.

From: [identity profile] jessara40k.livejournal.com


How exactly is Cloud immortal? Is it the heals from anything Highlander type of immortality, or something else? And in this one you said Chaos was the twin with long hair, right?

From: [identity profile] icedark-elf.livejournal.com


In my head, it's just a genetic hiccup that happens occassionally. So there are others, and Cloud would heal extremely fast from injuries/death, but not running around chopping heads off. *grins* Similar to HL immortals, otherwise. And Chaos was the long haired one.

From: [identity profile] mirroredsakura.livejournal.com


That was an utter "...whoa..." moment.

I've seen the good majority of those fics before but... damn, I couldn't decide if this was hot or just plain cute. I think I'll have to settle with both all at once. ^^;

From: [identity profile] icedark-elf.livejournal.com


Those fics?

*grins* This was fun to write, that's all I know, and the image of Chaos and Cloud together just make me all happy inside. So I went with it, and this was born. I take it that it was a good whoa, and I'm glad you liked it.

From: [identity profile] mirroredsakura.livejournal.com


*headdesk* When I say fics, I mean pics. x_X; 'Cause I'm good with the spelling like that.

And yes, it was a good whoa and I hope for more. ^_^

From: [identity profile] eternal-edge.livejournal.com


Interesting. Will this end up being the OT5? >] Protective!(if only slightly)Chaos! Cuuuuuuuuuuuuute. XD

From: [identity profile] icedark-elf.livejournal.com


I'm sure it's very possible. Or it might already be one, or it might never. Not a clue, yet, and everyone might have a different version of it,. But given it's me, I think they most likely all sleep with each other. Why? Because they are connected and relaxed.

From: [identity profile] kemis.livejournal.com


Oh, but Vincent, I'm -sure- Chaos and Cloud wouldn't have minded in the slightest if you'd asked to join in. *licks lips and purrs at the pretty, pretty mental picture*

*snuggles close* Such a nice ficlet, dear. I'll just have to get you more shinies.

From: [identity profile] icedark-elf.livejournal.com


*purrs* Oh, I'm sure they wouldn't have. Loose morals and all.

Shinies make me write faster. They also inspire ficlets. So, yes, more shinies will make me write faster. Go shinies, go.

Glad you liked it, and they are a pretty, pretty mental picture.

This is *vaugely* crackish and I love it.

And now I want to know what comment would constitute chucking someone out a window (which sounds really fun X3)

From: [identity profile] icedark-elf.livejournal.com


It's Chaos. Who knows what is enough for him to throw someone out the window?

I'm glad you like it, and feel free to play in it anytime you want.

From: [identity profile] jameva.livejournal.com


Very, very nice. It brings so many yummies to mind. -purrs-

Hopefully having it an open universe will entice more of these. ^^ Its pull is so hard to resist..!


From: [identity profile] icedark-elf.livejournal.com


You know you wanna write in it. All that tasty goodness is just there, waiting for you to nibble on it.

From: [identity profile] gypso-child.livejournal.com


Totally need to read more on Vincent, so that I know his persona better, because this universe is just begging for more pervy minds to fuck with it. And oh, I want to, so bad!

:] Fabulous, I am so glad you wrote this!

(also, do you, by chance, happen to know a final fantasy vii - or simply final fantasy in general - fanfiction community that is not restricted to pairings, or yaoi or yuri?)

From: [identity profile] icedark-elf.livejournal.com


*purrs* Feel free to join the fun anytime.

And sadly, no, I don't know of any, as I need one for my Buster Sword fic. If you find one, let me know.

From: [identity profile] gypso-child.livejournal.com


*wicked grin* Soon as I've got my contest HP fics out of the way, you can count on it.

And I have thus been directed to [livejournal.com profile] acfiction, which looks like a distinct possibility:

Fiction can be pre-AC/LO, during AC/LO, post AC/LO and AUs, as long as it observes the general AC/LO canon.

Innnnnteresting. ::ponder:: I kinda like the idea of them all as mercs. If by kinda I mean completely. ^.^;;; Also, Cloud being in charge = love. pure love. ^_^ Can't wait to see more! ^_^

From: [identity profile] slaveofmydreams.livejournal.com


Makes me want to replay the game all over again. Very interesting idea and I'll lurk hide float around to see how the backtstory is unfurled.

Though me and my cosplay group are/will be sadden since there is no mention of the Turks, well the Turk Vincent will be happy her character is in this.

.........

*goes back to hiding*

The perv, and leather pics and twins oh my! Love it, I've seen some of those pics before but not all of them and just...yummy.

Like you said, this is just begging to have more fics written about it.^^ *glomps Chaos*

My drabbles sense is tingling! *mind you I have to finish the others, but oh, there will be mini bunnies hopping around*

From: [identity profile] medusalethe.livejournal.com


*g* This certainly seems like a fun universe to play in. I adore Chaos already.

From: [identity profile] yuenoclow.livejournal.com


I'm curious. Does Cloud being immortal mean that if something got chopped off (like, his hand or head or something), would it grow back? ^^;;;

From: [identity profile] kuro-fenikkusu.livejournal.com


Its shiny. REALLY shiny!

I'm realy happy i joined, and 'Ends of the Spectrum' should be out soon.
