Streets are filled with --

The dirty deed is done, my friends. The stockmarket AU is done - rewritten in some parts, and with... a lot of words added on. It's worth your while to read it from beginning up even if you followed the original! :D :D Very worth it.

Fandom: Final Fantasy VII/Final Fantasy XII/The Stockmarket
Characters: Balthier/Tseng, Rufus/Tseng
Rating: Hard R overall
Summary: Tseng's in New York, Balthier's in London, and Rufus is in the sky as the world burns around them. Hedging on futures can be such tricky things.
Functional explanation: The stock markets exploded. Balthier, Rufus and Tseng are hot. More excuses here.
Inflicted upon the world by: logistika_nyx and karanguni

Part 1: Is that a trust fund in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Part 2: Some Things You Can't Buy, For Everything Else There's The Theoretical Joint Bunansa-Shinra Empire

Part 3: Or, How Tseng Teaches Us To Stop Worrying And Love The Platinum Credit Card

2558 words on the first, 6907 words on the second, 8988 words on the third and more of... everything all around! \o\

Do follow nasdack for immediate futures (okay, stopping with the financial puns now) and great profits. :D THE AU DOES NOT END HERE.

Because:

a) failing at life is my major past time
b) I feel kinda sad (real life, why art thou real?)
c) my life is a dark abyss etc due to strange reasons involving the sudden and abrupt loss of important academic documents

Therefore:

I post short, kinda substandard drabblefic lugged in over from IJ. Sorry, guys. Bad week. Too stressed to write anything real. My sendspace account also chose this brilliant moment to bite the dust, leaving me sad and DDDDDDDDDD: Hooray, Murphy! \o/

Baccano!

( Ladd Russo: the sickness/the symptoms )

( Luck Gandor: I need a taste of what it's like )

Final Fantasy VII

( Elena: We'll kill one of yours )

Final Fantasy XII

( Balthier: friendly fire )

It's amazing how much fresher you can feel after you've got new tables and chairs. Everything feels a bit shinier and a bit easier to work at. \o/ Now that I have beaten my Ikea furniture into submission (a little bit more literally than I'd like, but hey, learning experience!) I am set to do More Things. Like write fic and icon and... stuff. Speaking of which, more icons!

7x Final Fantasy XII (1 Balthier, 3 Fran, 1 Larsa, 2 Judges)
