I did *NOT!!!* write these. Another member of FanFiction.Net, Refugee, did. I'm simply putting out a strong recommendation for the following fanfictions, A Knight of Spira and its sequel, Genesis.
These two stories are one long in-series crossover series with FF8's Squall Leonhart as the main protagonist. In this series, the events of FF7, FF8, and FF10 occur on the same planet at distantly different times, in that order, with time-travel as the main connecting plot device. You'll find connections to FF6 and FF9 as well (I'll say this: it explains Necron... finally). The story begins kinda patchy and the chapters are too brief--A Knight of Spira was Refugee's first fanfic--but by the time the first book ends the writing has evolved and the story is enthralling. The second book, Genesis, is entirely another matter--it's awesome from start to finish, or at least, from start to where it is now. (The most recent chapter was the Great Revelation--it finally explains just what the heck was going on and how the various worlds are connected, not to mention who the major powers behind these events are.) By the time the story gets to the more interesting bits of Genesis, it's become a truly original work of fanfiction, although even now it has rough spots in its grammar and technique from time to time. Even so, I highly recommend it.
Here's the link to Refugee's profile, where both stories can be found. A Knight of Spira focuses primarily on FF8 and FF10 with some 7 thrown in for flavor; Genesis on FF8 and FF7.
Note that as the stories were begun before certain sequels or spin-offs, it takes liberties with the timeline and assumes some never occurs. Namely Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, and Final Fantasy X-2, although characters and references to each come into the story, and prequels like Crisis Core are evidently fair game.
EDIT: I'm not sure if this kind of thing strictly belongs here. Is there a better place for it? If so, could it be moved there? |

Current Status: Missing In Action
- Weapon: Raiden - Description: A mechanical katana with a small trigger on the handle that runs an electric current through the blade powerful enough to instantly stun most human opponents. This weapon is capable of instantly switching between lethal and nonlethal styles depending on the needs and desires of its wielder, and has a Triple Materia Growth Rate, but only has one Materia Slot.
- Armor: Dragon Bangle - Description: A bangle intricately hand-designed into the likeness of the dragon, Bahamut, its magical resistance to attack matches many high-class armors and is complimented by a slight addition to the wearer's agility. It has five materia slots with two linked pairs and a Double growth rate. This bangle was a gift from a trusted friend.
- Limit Break: Solar Flare - Description: A blazing flash of blinding magical light is followed by any one of a series of devastating, lightning-quick sword techniques--a style of attack loosely derived from the limit technique known as "Fire Cross."
- Combat Style: Focuses on materia designed to enhance or sustain physical prowess or inhibit the enemy's, using offensive magic only as a situational standby. Prefers an in-your-face quick-slashing method of assault over all else, though is always open to improvisation. He always keeps his Bahamut Fury materia equipped to his bangle, but mostly out of sentimental value--he rarely uses it, even in extreme circumstances.
- Favorite Materia: Any varient of Assault Twister, particularly those accompanied by potent status effects.
- Favorite Summon: Bahamut, in all of his forms.
