Welcome to Lost Complex, a Final Fantasy VII / Parasite Eve fusion universe fic. The following is a small introduction to the story, so please take a few moments to glance over it.
The inspiration for this story came from a single line in FFVII. Remember when they were all sitting around the Flame in Cosmo Canyon? Do you also remember what Cait Sith says when Cloud talks to him : "I wonder how many years it's been ... Gosh, it brings back memories." That line has always, ALWAYS irked me, so I plotted out a whole big fic around it. The line was never explained, which led to the planning behind Lost Complex.
Of course I can never be satisfied with just a simple little past delving story, so I had to spice it up a little. I'm playing through PE again, and I thought to myself, "Self, I bet it would be cool to take this game and FFVII and mash 'em together."
*mash*
The story takes place about a year (give or take a couple of weeks) after Final Fantasy VII. The principals of Mitochondria Evolution and all that jazz have been inserted into the FF world, minus Aya and her rag tag crew. Sorry to all male readers but there will be no Aya shower scenes (but I'll make it up to you). It's not a crossover, per say, more of a melding of scientific possibilities.
Lost Complex is going to take a look at some of the more neglected inhabitants of FFVII fandom (you'll know who I mean immediately as you read the first chapter), in hopes of exploring their characters a little more, and maybe earning them a few more fans. Yay. I also feel obligated to warn you of the following :
Nasty, nasty language. Stuff you wouldn't want your aged grandmother to hear.
Violence and gross stuff (If you've played PE, you'll notice its a fairly gross game - what with all the cell mangling, and ooze leaking).
Sexual Situations. I'm debating right now whether future chapters will contain full out NC-17 action, but readers will be properly warned before hand. I can always change the rating. While I'm on the subject, this story also contains m/m situations. Yaoi is my perverted friend. If you are offended by that, I hope you will still read anyways. But don't worry, for those who are non-yaoi there are straight pairings as well. They'll be given equal treatment. Everyone's happy.
I think that's about it. Oh. While I'm at it, I may as well get the Disclaimers out of the way. Ahem. I do not own Final Fantasy VII or Parasite Eve, their characters, their plots, and all subsequent ideas, beliefs, or scientific principals. They belong to Squaresoft, whom I love and adore, and would never think of stealing from. One, two, better not sue.
If anyone has any further questions or concerns, please feel free to email me. I've rambled long enough.
