Streets are filled with --

This mid-week is shaping up to be pretty hellish, so I sat down and pounded something out and viola, more Tseng! 8D Flist, you are more than welcome to prompt anything that involves this boy, because oh god do I want to write to take my mind off the blunt weapon of School and Stuff (TM).

[edit:] To make a crappy day even better, am I the only one for whom LJ email comment notifications are getting eaten?

Meanwhile, I'm working through the other prompts (I WILL FINISH ALL OF THEM I SWEAR).

This is not me totally drowning in prompts, oh no, not me. Challenge deadlines? What are those? I like the swooshing sounds they make as they go past. 8D

This one's for knightlineninja, who gave one of the most amazing prompts ever:

If I knew the way
I'd seek it out and set forth too;
With scarlet leaves
Woven into offerings,
Autumn has departed

I apologise; I kind of failed at the Zack part of things. DDDDD: I promise to try and stick more of the spikyhairedman in in another place!

Title: Autumn Has Departed
Rating: PG
Characters: Tseng, Rufus cameo, mentions of Zack
Summary: After the stigma comes the cleansing. Everyone in Shinra has their own forms of absolution; Tseng's is pilgrimage.
Warnings: Set after AC, with a whole lot of arbitrary worldbuilding thrown in for kicks.

1527 words and surprise-attack banter from Rufus, even if he isn't the main character here. Go figure!

( 'There's something I need to do,' Tseng replied. )

I swore to myself that I wouldn't add on to the Unnamed Series That Zack and Tseng Share, but a friend helped me out with something and I ended up writing a drabble to pay her back -- tadah! Tseng's point of view, this time, set just after Cream and Bastards.

Back at del Sol; Tseng/Zack (sort of), PG (sort of), Crisis Core spoilers (sort of). The worst part of it all is that Tseng knows they have to be out here.

882 words.

( This isn't so much surveillance duty as it is exile. )

Written for fic_on_demand at IJ. Prompt: Final Fantasy VII: Zack going clubbing pre-Crisis, all by himself. Having fun, partying, dancing, whatever, but he's alone. Why?

I think he and Tseng should go shoot themselves in the head before I die writing them. YES, THIS IS GOOD PLAN.

Title: Country Boy
Characters: Zack, Tseng cameo
Rating: PG
Warnings: Set just at the very beginning of Crisis Core. Assumptions made about Tseng's history and background. And Wutai - Wutai exists for us to make stuff up about it. xD
Summary: It's good to find a place where you can feel alive.

1177 words.

( But there was no one from Wutai; that was war country. )

Title: Fact of the Matter
Characters: Zack, Tseng
Rating: PG
Summary: Zack's spent too much damned time in helicopters watching Tseng watching him watching Tseng.
Warnings: Crisis Core insertfic just after Zack and Tseng have that... interesting conversation regarding Aerith outside the church.

1255 words. Genfic. Tseng is a bit twisty, but only if you squint.

( Tseng tilted his head to the side, just barely. 'I wasn't aware that I was looking at you in any particular way.' )
