Final Fantasy

Sephiroth -- *scowls* I still can't believe she wrote a fic about Kuja. . . *clears throat* This library contains stories from any of the Final Fantasy games that Athena takes a shine to. Of course, since FF7 was the first Final Fantasy she deemed worthy enough to write repeatedly about, the majority of the fics here are FF7-related.
