This fic of mine just passed the 77 subscribers mark, and it's currently a whopping 70k words worth of a slow-burn Aerti adventure, with many more chapters to come! You should give it a read!
65k words of slow-burn Aerti? In my fanfiction? It's more likely than you think!
(chapter 13 of this little thing is up, and I think it's rather neat!)
(I refuse to acknowledge DoC)
(NPTK is from FFVII Rebirth but my finger slipped before I could write it)
Chapter 11 (!!) of my Aerti fic is up!
This time around, it's the grasslands and the marshes! I'm really happy with this one, you should give it a look!
Since my Aerti fic in which Tifa is the one to land in Aerith’s church has hit its seventh chapter, I wanted to remind you all that you can read it right here!
Real intellectual takes on the Discord
I didn’t know they had a sheriff in the Northern Crater
Hey! I’m writing an Aerti fic that has Tifa as the one waking up in the Sector 5 slums church. We’re four chapters in, and things are pretty damn gay.
Why don’t you give it a try?
The way I see it, I think Seph gets tunnel vision, out of everyone in the party, only Cloud and Aerith matter to him. Tifa? Who even is that? A tool to get to Cloud. Not even a person.
Vincent has a coffin in a basement, which hardly qualifies as a room, and Cait Sith being what he is excludes him from the poll immediately.

I’m not counting Nanaki because I can’t imagine how he’d do that, or Cait Sith, for the same reason. Cid would be the obvious answer so he’s not included either.
Yes that’s a very precise question but it’s for the sake of grasping the consensus when it comes to fandom perception… If you can justify your answer in the tags, it’d be even better!
OMFG AERTI FIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (i know nothing about the franchise) im going to be confused but !!!! im so excited to read it :D!!!
Aaaah! I hope you’ll enjoy it! It’s one of these ideas I’ve had for years, before the Remake games were announced, even!
I would say that you need a bit of familiarity with the original game and the Remake game, but fortunately for you, they’re both very good and there are plenty of Let’s Plays for both. I’m going to ramble about all of that for a bit here.
Final Fantasy VII (1997) is kind of an old game now, it’s kind of all over the place, very weird and dated and clunky in a variety of ways, but it’s also still good, a very important game, and it got re-released on basically everything. I’d recommend Dansg08’s walkthrough series here? He’s a completionist but he labels his videos so that it’s easier to just skip the grinding bits. There is some degree of dramatic psychosexual yaoi to FFVII.
Final Fantasy VII Remake (2020) and the upcoming FFVII Rebirth (2024) are partly remakes of the original, but also sort of a sequel? It’s a series of games that is very much aware of the legacy of the original and isn’t trying to just have FFVII (1997) with updated graphics. It’s also a kind of meta conversation about the nature of remakes… Kind of what the Rebuild of Evangelion movies are to the original NGE, except if it was good instead of embarrassingly dogshit. FFVII Remake is a phenomenal game. Materwelonz (I just love her stuff!!) has a great FFVIIR Let’s Play series. She hasn’t played the original game, but she’s very good at picking up on details. If you plan on reading my fic and won’t play the game, I’d recommend going up to chapter 8 of FFVIIR. FFVIIR (2020) This is where most of the Aerti stuff is at, and it’s great, these two interact so much! Also, there’s dramatic psychosexual yaoi.
And then you’ve got everything else FFVII, which is varying degrees of “good but unnecessary” to “obvious cash grab dogshit”
Crisis Core is a PSP game that got a recent remaster (as in, same game with updated graphics). It’s a prequel to FFVII (1997). It’s very flawed but I have a lot of fondness for it, there’s one song from the soundtrack that makes me curl up in a ball and cry every time I hear it, it’s physically painful. It’s almost a good game, the FMVs are great, and there’s some excellent dramatic psychosexual yaoi in there, also Gackt is here for some reason. Materwelonz did a good Let’s Play, but I really like the original voice actor for the main character, and unfortunately he got recast for the remaster.
Advent Children is a movie that is kind of a sequel to FFVII (1997) and it’s kind of bad in many ways, it mangles everybody’s characterization to some degree, it looks dated, as do most CGI animated movies of the 2000s… It’s mostly bad but it also has a couple of really iconic scenes that were in so many AMVs back in the mid 2000s to early 2010s. It also has some degree of psychosexual yaoi to it.
Everything else is, imho, not worth engaging it. There’s a third person shooter game for the PS2 that is basically Shadow the Hedgehog and a bunch of mobile games and stories and most of it is stupid and dumb and bad and unnecessary, and most of that barely contains any kind of yaoi whatsoever which makes it instantly worthless.
I guess that is it!
The misogyny inherent to the CloTi/Clerith/Zerith “debate”. Hasn’t really changed in the past two decades but more women are doing it now, so I guess it’s progress…?
