You've liked Reno, your fellow Turk, for a while now, and Rude, along with an unlikely duo, persuades you to confess to him. But as a new, dangerous mission looms, how will you cope with the fallout? Will you lose him all too soon, or find a new strength in each other to find a way to make it through.
This work (and the rest of this description) has MAJOR SPOILERS for Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII Remake, so please bear that in mind when reading it!
Based around the Sector 7 plate drop, this story explores the lead up to the mission, the mission itself, and the aftermath from the Turks' POV. How do they react to having to drop the plate, and what is the emotional impact on them afterwards?
Written for a female reader, this is a story with plenty of fluff and plenty of angst, rated mature for language, themes, and some eventual smut too. Reno is an amazing character and great to write for - I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I loved writing it!
It's not easy loving a Turk.
Reno of the Turks and Aliana Strife meet by chance in the Sector 5 slums and embark on a journey to discover their instant spark. Initially fighting as enemies, they discover their attraction runs deeper than they thought.
Over two years later, Aliana, a survivor of Professor Hojo, Sephiroth's wrath, and Geostigma, lives by working random jobs for Cloud and Tifa. Her friends don't know that instead of being in Kalm with her friend, Aliana spends her days with her boyfriend, Reno of the Turks, loving him as he loves her.
They keep their relationship a secret from Aliana's friends, knowing they would disapprove. However, that's not the worst of everything. Rufus and the Turks soon learn of a plot from an unknown assailant seeking to potentially kill Aliana. They work in the shadows to prevent such a tragedy, all while keeping everything hidden from Aliana. It's Reno's job to protect the woman he loves, but when she discovers their secrets, what will she do? Will she leave the man she loves or fight for her life alongside Shinra, who has become important to her?
