my dunmer oc, Evander! hes an ex-morag tong member and a werewolf. caught trying to cross the boarder while fleeing from the morag tong after accidentally killing somw fellow member. (he was born with lycanthrope and has trouble controlling himself) (hes also suuuper transgender)
i designed this tattoo idea today, the symbolism is supposed to represent religious trauma ina way.
the cross is sharp and piercing the human skull, which is organic and the outlining silhouette only outlines the skull to show the cross invading in a sense. the design is very left heavy, portraying a sense of imbalance. the silhouette outlining the skull trails off into stars and pretty shapes to show the beauty of human spirit. while the cross does have stars and designs on it too, its only a shiny reflection thats only there because of the human.
This was origionally just a skin render practice,, i had a lot of fun with it as you can tell. Kinda proud of it actually :D Btw dont mind the tags im just trying to reach my target audience..
I love the idea of Zack and Cloud being soulmates or like mindlinked or something. It would explain why they share eachothers memories. And imagine if clouds little headaches are just flashes into Zack’s pov in the other universe where he lived.
Anyways this is totally just an excuse for me to convince ppl to go read my fic it’s on wattpad and ao3
Have you ever gotten everything you’ve ever wanted?
Prologue/teaser for the Zakkura fic I’m writing!! Its sort of a what if AU where Zack and Cloud reunite,, taking place after the events of Rebirth. I’ll be posting this on AO3 and Wattpad !
“Have you ever gotten everything you’ve ever wanted?” she asked.
The question caught me off guard. “Tifa, whats this about..?” I ask hesitantly. She hadn’t been the same since Aeriths death. Its been three months since then. We were all pretty shaken up after everything, myself included. Since Sephiroth is gone and dead at last, a long break was warrented for all of us. For the most part, it seemed like things were going pretty well for us. It felt as though Aeriths spirit was with us even now, and maybe thats what really gave us comfort after it all. However, despite this and the rebuilding of 7th Heaven, Tifa just hasnt been the same. After Aerith died she had shut down, barely spoke to anyone. Months flew by and nothing changed, but now she hits me with this question.
“It’s just a question.” Her response was quiet and delayed, gazing out the window as if focusing on something far in the distance.
“No… but I once got very close.” And then so too was my gaze was focused on something far in the distance- or rather, someone.
Suddenly, rain is pounding on my back as I stare down at my best friend. He always had this shimmer in his eyes, how could he be smiling? Even now he amazes me. He blinks a droplet from his eye, I cant tell if its a tear or the rain. Either way, the thought of Zack crying rips me apart, I dont think I’ve ever truly seen that side of him.
“My honor… my dreams… theyre yours now.” He pushes the buster sword into my arms. The pit in my stomach suddenly seems more like a void. It feels heavy in my hands, I set it aside and cup his face instead. He’s cold.
“You’ll be… my living legacy.” His voice was slow and soothing. Comforting. As if he werent the one dangling on the brink of death.
My personal favorite fic of all time. This one's a little less zakkura and a LOT more doomed post-AC Cloud+Tifa. Cloud mourns Zack, Tifa mourns Aerith, they try so hard to find comfort in one another, but things never change. This fic unlocked new sensations in me that I didn't even know existed, like guttural heartbreak so brutal that it makes you dry heave. If that sounds like your idea of a fun evening, give it a try!

Literally everything from skadii. This author right here is the true legend of zakkura fics. I can't really summarize it because they're all SO GOOD. Just. *chef's kiss* *EXPLODES, BADLY*
Mako-Soaked Kintsugi Bathed in Brutal Daylight by FeralSunshine22
While on the run from Shinra, Zack and Cloud take a tumble through spacetime and wind up in the FF15 universe, where they reunite with Kunsel. Now that they're safe, Zack has a LOT to process mentally about the shit they've been through in the past few years. This fic is the most realistic depiction of PTSD and recovery from a coma that I've ever read. Even if you know next to nothing about the FF15 universe (like me!), the writer does a fantastic job of easing you into this unfamiliar world.
the only one for me (Light of the Universe) by anonymous
Craving something wildly out of character? Desperately need a dose of dark!Zack? This one's an acquired taste, but if you're looking for some jaw-dropping plot twists and morally objectionable behavior, then I can absolutely recommend this 4-part fic in which an obsessed stalker Cloud gets a teeensy bit more than he bargained for. This author has several other lovingly crafted zakkura fics as well!
Hello Once Again by hrelics9
An interpretation of the consequences of Remake's ending, a Zack lives AU that follows many of the plot points of the OG, while exploring Aerith's powers as an ancient, and Jenova's powers as an eldritch monstrosity. Zakkura mind-melding content! Sadly, this fic was never completed, but the almost 300,000 words that we do have are awe-inspiring.
not the same as loneliness by crookedspoon
Cloud is in a coma. Zack is trying to hold it together for both of their sakes. But as time goes, it gets more and more difficult for Zack to cope with the isolation. Short and sweet, very dubious consent. Highly recommended.
This is by no means a complete list, just a couple favs off the top of my head. Happy reading!!
