Griever
That fic that prompted me to wonder about Tiamat? I also kept wondering where, in a story that was heavily about GFs, Griever came in. I got my answer, though I won't say any more here.
On the other hand, if anyone is interested in reading it here's a link: My Orphanage.
It's primarily a Seifer/Zell fic and it's a damn good read.
I was thinking as I went to anser nature that this fic stands out as one that is a good case of being realistic about gay ratios. not long ago had a post about fics that turn everyone gay in them, one of those bad habits in fanfic that I have so far used A Long, Hard Road as my poster-child for a fic that avoids that.
The problem with ALHR is that it still has a "pair everyone together!" feeling to it, even if the only gay pairing is the feature Cloud/Sephiroth. Maybe it's a fault of the setting - being in the middle of a World War (so to speak) that does that. MO doesn't feel that way - like pairings are forced - and I believe that is because most of the side pairings are established ones.
Anyway, I think I have a new poster-child for "Only ONE GAY PAIRING" and a fic that aught to be on my shortlist of damn good fics along side A Glad Day (DBZ het), Dominion (DBZ yaoi), Something Special, Something Sacred (LotR), Shores of Valinor (LotR) and few Baldur's Gate WIPs at the Attic.
