    Summary

    Kim Dokja’s phone buzzed — a message from an unknown account: About the Rachmaninoff review. He almost ignored it. He rarely entertained private messages.

    But something made him open it.

    I read your review of the Rachmaninoff concert three times. I’ve read everything you’ve written about my playing over the years, the criticism, the praise, the observations that made me hear my own performances differently. You wrote once that my Beethoven sounded like a monument to human achievement and a testament to nothing. I kept that sentence on my desk for months. It made me practice differently. It made me listen to myself differently.

    I don’t know who you are. I don’t need to know. But I wanted to tell you that your presence at the concert — knowing you were listening, knowing you would write with your honest cruelty changed how I played. The trill in the adagio. I held it because I knew you would hear whether I let go or not.

    Thank you for listening. Thank you for being honest. Thank you for hoping, even when I gave you no reason to.

    — Y.

    Summary

    [Spoilers for All 5 Books]

    “Don’t leave me,” Xie Lian begs, “San Lang, stay. Please.”


    After the final battle, Hua Cheng stays with Xie Lian. It should be good. Xie Lian should be grateful. He should be happy.

    Instead, he's terrified. Maybe it would have been easier for Xie Lian to believe in something he couldn't see than to trust in the strength of a silent, flickering ghost fire.

    Summary

    “The first stroke, the commitment, is always the most difficult part,” he murmurs, eyes on his paper.

    Xie Lian takes it as an invitation and steps into the room. “What about deciding which stroke is the last?”

    “My art never quite compares to my subjects, so I don’t worry myself with perfection.” With that, he puts brush to paper and inks his first stroke.

    Xie Lian needs a room for the night in a new city and is humbly directed to the one ghost who can fulfill any wish if you're willing to play.

    Summary

    A version of the FFVII 'verse where Demons exist, and have more than one reason to be wary of ShinRa. Unfortunate, then, that several hybrid individuals happen to work for them...

    Rated Mature or higher, because an incubus has to eat, amirite?

    This series originates with AsreonInfusion, in her FFVII AU one-shot "Demonology", and pretty much exploded out from there. All stories in this Series owe their existence to her and are done with her permission.
