NEW VERSION: [Final Fantasy VI] Fic: The Sleeping Beauty (Part 13 of 13)

Title: The Sleeping Beauty
Fandom: FF6
Characters: Celes, Terra, Locke, Edgar, Sabin, Shadow, Cyan, Gau, Setzer, Relm
Genre: Drama, AU
Wordcount: 11,975
Summary: What if, after one year asleep, Celes still does not wake?

Important Note: This is a revised version of the story I posted on April 2.
The main changes are:
1) New material at the beginning and end of the story, with significant changes to the plot;
2) Removal of unnecessary lines to promote clarity and better flow, hopefully, throughout the story;
3) Splitting up the story into thirteen sections instead of two, because I realize this is a damn long story;
4) Chapter titles.

Hopefully the story is better now! I am leaving the old version up for posterity's sake, if you'd like to compare. Comments and criticism are welcome, always.

[Final Fantasy IV] Fic: Do Not Talk to Mountains (They Talk Back)

Title: Do Not Talk to Mountains (They Talk Back)
Fandom: FF4, FF4: The After Years
Characters: Edge, Kain, Rydia. Some Cecil, Rosa, Ceodore.
Genre: CRACK.
Wordcount: 2763 
Summary: Edge tries to talk Kain off the mountain and gets an earful of nonsense. After which the story stops even trying to make sense.
Note: Written in response to seventhe's Doink! Final Fantasy Exchange prompt from a previous year:
Edge! His past, something introspective, post-game: anything's fine. Interactions with other characters encouraged: I like the Rydia/Edge and Edge/Kain relationships, but I'd be just as happy seeing Edge interact with Cecil and Rosa. Further prompts: memories, ninja traditions, "why are you wearing that?"

Warning! Spoilers for FFIV: The After Years in the second half of the fic!
