Character(s)/Pairing(s): Rufus/Tseng/Tifa. (no you didn't just misread that)
Vague story idea: Many many moons ago, my ex-girlfriend and I came up with an AU to the novel-length FF7 story I have been working on since 1998 (that is still not finished, ugh) in which Tseng manages to get Rufus (investigating the Nibelheim incident from Shinra's end) and Tifa (witness to the Nibelheim incident, maneuvering herself so she will be able to figure out wtf really went on) in the same room at the same time and says "now talk amongst yourselves". It winds up kicking the game events off about five years earlier, and turning your final party into: Tifa, Rufus, Tseng, Reno, Rude, Reeve, Aeris, Cloud and Vincent from the Nibelheim mansion's basement, and possibly Cid. Against old man Shinra, Hojo, Sephiroth (kinda), and Jenova.
I am not officially signing up yet, because I'm nearly 30k words in to it and I have only gotten to two scenes, and I'm guessing the whole thing is going to hit around 300k when I'm done. I am going to hope I can find a reasonable stopping point somewhere before the deadline. :P
Also, I should note that I am only working with canon from the original game, period, since it's an AU of a story that I started in '98 when that was all we had. So, nothing from the rest of the Compilation.
oh god i still don't know what i'm doing
