FFVII Rare Pair Week 2025
So whatās your favourite Final Fantasy VII related rare pair? Do you have more than one? Hereās a chance to showcase them and help them move up from being rare! Not all parts of the pairing have to be from FFVII, and you donāt have to do the same pairing or group for the whole week! ** Pairings can be romantic or platonic. **
Below we have a list of prompts for this year. Feel free to be as creative with those as you want to, and take your time working on your entries, but please donāt forget to post them on the right date if you can. (But remember, no matter how late itās better than never!)
For this event we are using a category approach. You can use the category as a theme for your prompt and the listed items suggested ideas. If none of the prompts give you any ideas, donāt worry! You can create anything you like for the week, provided it involves a rare pair! The goal of the week is to celebrate and share our rare pairs more than to just follow a list. Be it art, writing, mood boards, or even fic recs, just spread the love!
Feb. 16 | Day 1. Extreme Weather/Natural Disaster. How does your pairing deal with an extreme weather event? If youāre the type to lean toward happy stories, this could be a run of good weather days. If you like your angst, well, this year has already given us some examples of what happens when nature goes wild.
Feb. 17 | Day 2. Sick Day/Medical. Is one of your pairing sick or injured? Or if you donāt like dealing directly with sickness, do they need to cover for a co-worker who has called out sick?
Feb. 18 | Day 3. Crossover. Mix it up with another game, or movie, or book, etc. Mix in your other favourite media, whether the setting, or another character for your pair to meet, or another plot theyāre stuck sorting out.
Feb. 19 | Day 4. Events. Thereās an event in the calendar. Is it a big to-do? A private date night? Are they celebrating something, or is it a memorial date? What has warranted being marked on their calendar? And what are they going to do about it?
Feb. 20 | Day 5. Free Day/Combo Day. Combo space to mix and match prompts from this year (or a previous yearās list) or go wherever your canoe takes you!
Feb. 21 | Day 6. Pets/Children. How does your pairing feel about pets and/or children? Do they have any? Do they want to? Are they the cool aunts who just want to return them at the end of the day after much sugar or the house with all the cats? Is it a point of contention in their relationship?
Feb. 22 | Day 7. Arts. Music, visual arts, dance. Art can be expressed and appreciated in so many forms. How does your pairing participate in art? Do they have an artistic hobby? Do they share in that hobby, or is one more ātalentedā? Do they try to get the other(s) involved? (Imagining the pottery moment in Ghost.) Do they have contrasting skills and collaborate? Are they competitive? Do they involve pets/children (if any)?
