the heart is the philosopher's throne

It was determined the other day that I'm the (merc!verse-style and isn't that a blast from fandom past) Zack to chofi 's Sephiroth and artimusdin 's Angeal.  Or a medicated Genesis, there was some debate there in which Din accused me of having the requisite temperament and I threatened her with penises drawn in Sharpie.  arin_rowan is our Cloud, but I'm not sure if she knows that yet.  She probably does now.

I got icons out of it and permission to share.

chofi was catering to my love of grunge and vector art.  Credit her if you nab either of them, please.

I should see about making some medicated!Genesis ones of my own.

Additionally, if someone who hadn't played the game still wanted to start reading fic because they thought it sounded interesting, what fics would anyone recommend?  I haven't really read anything in this fandom since around '08 (yes, I'm that precise, what can I say), so I may not be the best person for this task.  Any rating, any kink, and probably any pairing until this person can get a feel for the characters.  Cafeteria-style love, baby.

ETA:  Thank you to everyone who left recs.  :DDD  I'll give them a try myself someday, most likely, but not until I'm done with my own time-travel story; I'm terrified of seeing something that I'll want to incorporate myself or of seeing something I'd planned to do and feeling obligated to change it.  But really, thank you.

Please note that it's never ever too late to leave your own comment...

My icon dumps are the most random things ever.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, feel free to take whatever you want and not worry about crediting.  I don't credit most of the time, and I don't care myself.  ^^
