Tifa, by Nezumi
Fandom: FINAL FANTASY VII
Pairing: Gen (Tifa-centric)
Length: About 3600 words
Author on LJ: None.
Author Website: Nezumi Works
Why this must be read:
In the future, battles against evil are long gone and the members of the Avalanche have to deal with living normal lives. This is a wonderful, bittersweet piece about Tifa, nostalgia and the pass of time, delivering angst and hope in just the right places. Stories where the main characters are past their prime years are rare in all fandoms, and Tifa-fic without romantic focus is always a nice treat.
Tifa avoided the mirror.
She hated herself for it. There wasn't anything there, nothing but herself. But try as she might, she couldn't bring herself to look. Not for months, since autumn at least. Something kept her from it. Something that terrified her.
Tifa didn't understand why she was afraid. She told herself every day that she could face it, the same way she faced all her fears. She had been through some terrible things, unbelievable things sometimes, and came out the other side. How could this be worse?
Tifa didn't know. But when she left the washroom, she still hadn't looked in the mirror.
