Tbh my first time drawing this man, it’s giving Nanami tho LMAOO

Shout out to the five Lazard fans out there, yall are strong 😭

Here’s another batch of image headings I made for my Crisis Core/FF7 fanfic! Made using Unreal Engine Unlocker, the scenery mod in Rebirth and colour/effect touch ups.

For those interested in my story, it is OMC/Zack Fair and (later) OMC/Cloud Strife. It has a lot of worldbuilding, character studies and a rewrite of Crisis Core to include more politics/power struggles between the board members and dynamics that weren't in the game (particularly centred around Genesis, Angeal, Sephiroth, Lazard, Rufus and Hollander.).

Here's the link! Mind the tags, as it is rated mature: Click Me

I am sick and not sure if I'll be alive to come to training tomorrow and I'm sorry

best slutantions,

zack

(No reply. The closest response to the incident is captured in the email chain below)

Dear Director Lazard,

I apologize for my behavior. I was concerned for the safety of my comrade. As you know, my pupil Zack Fair has the flu. As you also know, Zack does not properly take care of himself. He was drinking hot chocolate with milk when entered his apartment. I did not realize the door was locked. I took the drink and explained that dairy makes you vomit when you have an illness. He did not believe me until ten minutes later.

Fair's diet consists of hot pockets and pop tarts. I hope you understand that while sick, you need nutrition. I simply provided meals and support for Zack over the past few days. I apologize for the late missions. I apologize for Zack's dramatic distress calls to you.

All the best,

How does that go?

Kunsel: Ok, this next block of apartments is all for extremely low income folks, most of whom are employed and may reject perceived charity. Please be mindful and frame this as a Shinra holiday cheer thing. Everyone got your soup? Alright, let's split up.

Zack: ok! *Knocks on the first door*

Cloud:

Zack: OH! Hi buddy! I forgot you lived here!

Cloud: Zack, the fuck're you doing here? It's my day off and I'm trying to sleep. Is...wait, is that the stupid Shinra charity soup?

Zack: Yep!

Cloud: ...fuck it, they owe me this much. Thanks. *Takes soup and shuts door*

Zack: 🥺

Kunsel: Don't be sad Zack, you just escaped with your life because you're the only person Strife likes enough not to kill if you wake him too early.

Zack: Really?! 🥰

--------------

They also do a soup line under the bridge.

Zack: Hi! Welcome! Pumpkin or minestrone?

Person: Pum- *senses an ominous presence* minestrone, please.

Zack: you betcha *dumps a ladle of each into their bowl* NEXT!

Sephiroth: *holds out a bowl*

Zack: Bud, this isn't for you.

Sephiroth: *still holding bowl*

Zack: You're holding up the line and Geal is gonna glare at me!

Sephiroth: *still holding bowl*

Zack: And tell me about dreams and honorrrrr!

Sephiroth, who has not blinked once: *still holding bowl*

Zack: ok, ok, which one?

A voice deeper than any Zack's heard before, with the hint of an eldritch god's power on its edges: P U M P K I N

Sephiroth's mouth hadn't moved. Zack, wide-eyed, ignores that fact and hastily serves him soup.

Sephiroth:

Sephiroth: Thank you, Zack Fair. *Disappears*

Zack:

---------

Lazard shows up at the end of the day to Sephiroth's apartment with a leftover giant tub of soup on a rolling cart.

*knock knock*

Sephiroth: *opens the door as if he smelled the soup and has been waiting for the knock* 😍 Hello, Director Soupzard. How may I pumpkin you?

Lazard: We had leftovers, and I was wondering if you would be so kind as to take this tub?

Sephiroth: For a friend? I certainly will. Please, come in. *Hoists the soup with one arm, holds the door for Lazard with the other*

(Thank you @snowbanshee for the request <3)

The beauty of Google Translate 🤣

(Glad you’re back in this mess :D, also yes everything behind gen SHOULD be on fire)

Thank you so much for the ask! :D I'm going to stick to who I've written so far, but that's still quite a few to think about! I hope you enjoy my silly/angsty/cute snippets. :3 Genesis He annotates the crap out of any book he owns. Don't get me wrong, he's got pristine copies of all editions of LOVELESS reserved for viewing only, but he's also got versions exclusively for scribbling notes and interpretations in the margins. In one particular copy, though, the notes start to get choppier, rougher, more...unhinged, as the degradation drags from months into years and his desperation for a cure deepens, particularly after the Nibelheim incident. Angeal This man can take a nap anywhere. Up a tree, in a rock crevice, in a military truck that's careening into every pothole by a careless driver... Angeal is the king of shuteye in unlikely places. It's very handy on rough missions. Sephiroth Likes to exercise his authority as a First to refuse any SOLDIER missions that even vaguely assist Hojo's research out of sheer spite. Genesis is incredibly proud of him. Zack This guy is a chaos cook, and by that I mean he just throws whatever crap he has available into a pan and just vibes. The 'throw anything together' habit he picked up from Angeal, yes, but he missed the 'think about sensible flavour combinations' part. Cloud He's a nervous fidgeter and has a lot of anxious energy that needs to escape. Drumming his fingers, leg bouncing, fiddling with his earring, picking skin, you name it. This behaviour is more prominent in his infantry days, too. Cissnei She's a collector, and by that I mean a collector of small keepsakes and trinkets found on missions around the world. Being raised in a orphanage meant that she barely had any possessions growing up, so she treasured anything that was hers and hers alone. Sometimes it's silly things from gift shops, or interesting rocks, feathers, scales, etc.
