Final Fantasy
Stand-Alone Tales

These stories do not fall in-line with the longer series in that they can be read as isolated ficlets (with the exceptions of those which form mini-series of their own such as Learning To Fly). You needn't have read the series to enjoy these, although it may help in some cases.

Ratings and summaries are noted along with the titles. Please respect these

PG
Category: AU. So very very AU. Multi-verse Crossover (including one belonging to El Rat Face)
Pairing(s): That could take a while to list…
