Room and Pillar, by Negative Creep

Having started with the most visible character of the series, I thought it might be fitting to finish off with one of the most invisible. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] shaggirl for letting me drive, and I hope this has been an enjoyable ride to those who have been following.

Fandom: FINAL FANTASY VII
Pairing: Barret/Myrna
Length: About 2700 words

Why this must be read:

Barret's wife, Myrna, only exists as a name in the game, but she gets a full life in this beautiful, bittersweet story about life in Corel before Shin-Ra, and how it's like to love Barret Wallace. Though barely a footnote even in Barret's personal story in the game, this story believably crafts her into the main influence in Barret's life, as well as a fascinating person of her own. It always takes talent to turn minor details from canon into meaningful things, and this story definitely delivers.
