Tired researcher Sephiroth chases sick waves all over Gaia just to feel something. His life takes a surreal turn when he meets a cheeky merman while surfing in the icy waves of the Northern Continent.

Commissioned this lovely art for a fic.

A piece of art I commissioned for my space soulmate sefikura fic Nebula.

What if Genesis never wanted to be a SOLDIER?

Sephiroth's life changes one day when Angeal drags him to meet Genesis, his best friend from Banora, who is working at the Shinra Cafeteria and dreaming of a better life in Midgar. Genesis takes it as his personal mission to introduce Sephiroth to the mysteries of good coffee, only for Sephiroth to realize that it's actually Genesis who is his cup of special blend.

For my coffee shop AU event!

Overworked startup founder Sephiroth finds himself in Nibelheim, booked for a week of outdoors fun to cure his Excel addiction. He’s staying at the Strife Lodge which is very nice—if only it wasn't for a certain snarky blonde barista he happens to meet at the lodge cafe. Too bad the annoying barista is also his annoying hiking guide, and little by little Sephiroth finds himself unraveling at a terribly fast speed.

In the end, Sephiroth isn't quite sure whether it'll be the great outdoors or Cloud who'll drive him utterly insane. But luckily there's always coffee!

Wrote this for my coffee shop AU event! 😁

In Japan the ocean is still a prominent SF topos and Otherness and the threat has often tended to come from the Seas. This is related to geopolitical conditions surrounding WW2 and the role of the ocean for Japan overall.

I love to see all this intertextuality of motifs in Japanese scifi! 😍
