the open book a glossy print of kaorismash's render of zack behind cloud, reflected in the mirror, inset into the book the book, standing upright tiny silver dog tag charms on the end of a gold ribbon, against a pale green background with darker green swirls and white and gold flowers

i feel so indescribably lucky to get to hold one of @thebrandywine.bsky.social 's binds in my OWN TWO HANDS. the book is a STUNNING piece of art, almost terrifyingly hefty, and every detail is just unimaginably gorgeous...i'm going to covet and cherish and treasure it til my dying day
a thick, hardcover book bound in dark green velvet with a shining, metallic, golden circle cut out of the centre. the cream edges of the paper are speckled with green and gold, and there is a gold ribbon bookmark hanging out of the bottom of the book the side of the same green velvet book, focusing on the inward curve of the cream and speckled pages the book open to its title pages, which reads PARCHED RIVERS RUN by skadii and BRANDYWINE BINDERY 2025 below. the text is black inside of a cream-coloured box, and the box is on a pure black background, surrounded by flowers. next to the book is small plush version of cloud strife, with pointy yellow hair and round blue embroidered eyes an open book. on the left is the ao3 description of parched rivers run, along with printing information and the stamps of brandywine bindery (waves filling a half-circular shape) and renegade bindery (a black piece of equipment i honestly can't identify but assume is a book clamp). on the right is the poem "♢ Learns to Pray, with ● " by anais duplan

GOD I SURE HOPE SO that is canon, to me. there’s a man that needs to get tag-teamed into letting go and enjoying himself, and between tifa’s gentleness and zack’s taunting i think they both have the secret recipe of getting cloud MEGA LAID

screenshot of ever crisis showing tifa and aerith standing next to each other in visual novel style. the text reads "i can't believe it they want at it until neither of them could stand" a countdown at zero that reads "killing myself." large black text is stamped across it at a diagonal, obscuring it, reading "POSTPONED"

minor cabin au spoilers ⚠

wip wednesday for a wip that is crawling with one arm and half a leg towards the finish line. i could write about fenrir being a nuisance forever and never grow bored
The guest room was small, room enough just for the wide sleigh bed and a desk tucked at its foot. A little square window cast moonlight onto the pillows through the aged lace curtains, and Cloud, head peeking up above the covers, pyjamas buttoned all the way up to his throat, was arguing with Fenrir where the dog, beside him, lay taking up every spare bit of space in the bed. “You’re a hog,” Cloud lectured. “You’re a spoiled, greedy hog.” Fenrir flopped his head back and forth happily. “You’re going to make Zack sad,” Cloud said. “Nah. No worries, Fenrir. I know my place.” Zack grinned and leaned over to grab something to sleep in from his pack. “Throw me a blanket.”

oh this was supposed to be a wip wednesday before i got busy
Zack flips on the bedroom lights and throws Cloud in the centre of the bed, sending him sprawling, only to yank him to the edge by his ankle a moment later. Cloud moans so gratifyingly at the rough treatment that it takes several moments for their surroundings to register. When they finally do, he blinks, taking in the mess—one pillow on the floor, one at the far corner of the mattress, sheets strewn in a tangled rope at the foot, a torn condom wrapper on the bedside—and says, bemused—feeling a strong sense of kinship with captive jungle cats—“He really was just here, huh?” Cloud goes scarlet. He rolls his head to the side.
