(Set in a modern, non-magical AU; spoilers for future content in tags)
Clive and Joshua share an apartment together and struggle through their lives in the aftermath of their mother's suicide a year earlier. Once extremely close, Joshua has worryingly withdrawn from Clive and is clearly teetering on the edge of self-destruction.

Their lives are about to change dramatically thanks to the sudden cancellation of Clive's usual photographer, who is replaced by the mysterious and alluring Cidolfus Telamon.

Summary
Clive confronts Joshua about the Undying's way of doing things - specifically their careless, self-sacrificial tendencies, of which Joshua has displayed his own. Despite not meaning to, Clive's abrupt and emotional confrontation means that Joshua has a pretty severe setback in his disordered eating recovery process. But before anyone can step in to help, he runs off to Tabor.
Lucky for our two Rosfields, Cid is here to save the day.

Summary
In this canon-divergent story, Cid and Otto are starting up the Cursebreakers, but have only had minimal success with which of their runaway Bearers are actually capable of fighting. Thinking it best to purchase one from the black market instead, they head to Oriflamme, where Cid spots a young fire-aspected Branded that should serve his purposes well. Especially once he's able to reason out just who said Branded is: the young Lord Clive Rosfield.
Cid knows he has to do a delicate dance with "his" new "property" that he's purchased, and also knows that they have a long road of deprogramming and un-brainwashing ahead of them. Can Cid help Clive remember his independence? And can he do so without breaking the young man's fragile sanity? Will Clive be able to help Cid realize his dream of Cursebreakers, and aiding in the operations at the Hideaway, including the eventual liberation of Bearers?

Summary
Set in an alternative timeline...
At the fall of Drake's Head, Joshua arrives in time to heal Cid from his mortal wounds - and steal Clive away to retake Rosaria in the name of their family. Joshua is interested in nothing else other than the preservation of his and his brother's relationship, having gone a little mad over the years with Ultima stored inside his chest. Meanwhile, Cid has lost his self-control, and careens ever closer to the edge, wishing the world and all its evils to burn now that Clive is no longer by his side. With the Phoenix and Ramuh constantly at war with one another, Clive finds himself caught in the middle... and when Cid kidnaps Joshua, Clive has no choice but to answer the call, and see just why Cid would go through so much trouble for him - and if he has what it takes to meet Cid's demands.

Summary
Cid and Clive find a camp of Imperial Soldiers and Bearers, where it seems the soldiers have taken every possible liberty of their "property" that they could imagine. Clive flies into a rage and dispatches the soldiers, but it's clear to Cid that he's not okay after the incident, especially when sleep seems to avoid the young Branded. Eventually, Cid tries to get through to Clive, who reacts violently - and with a desperation that Cid wasn't expecting, but is willing to indulge if it would help the tortured young man finally get some bloody rest.

Summary
Set before Origin...
Joshua is not very good at remembering to take his medicine. He's even worse at acknowledging the feelings he has for his brother. Clive is equally terrible at this, but thankfully we have Cid - who devises a devious plan that not only gets Joshua to take his medicine, but just might bridge the gap between brothers.

Summary
(Formerly known as Thunderstorm)
A collection of one-shots for Cid and Clive, primarily ending in some fabulous sex, if I have anything to say about it.
(Written as a birthday gift to my dearest friend, who has been waving the shidokura flag valiantly since our first playthrough of the game. I actually really like them as a pair myself, so it was a no brainer. <3 Enjoy!! ALSO - because I enjoy writing this smut, this is now a multi-chapter fic. DOUBLE enjoy. XD)

Summary
Cid discovers that Joshua has all but given up on living a long, fulfilling life thanks to his affliction from the crystal curse and his Ultima-induced wound. Eager to remind him that giving up on oneself is not allowed around the Hideaway, he gives Joshua the opportunity to try anything he wants in the bedroom as a means to entice him to think about all he can do if he's determined to live... And Joshua picks a DOOZY.

The lingerie comes as a surprise.
Not an unpleasant one, by any means. Cid prides himself on being a man who will embrace the unexpected.
The lad is a sight. He wears fine things well, that one. -

Summary
Set in a timeline where Cid lives, sometime after the fight with Bahamut...
Purely for the sake of self-indulgence (and to make up for my angsty chapter fic), I present to you a new multi-chapter fic in which Clive, Cid, and Joshua learn how to be a throuple. Naturally, this involves copious amounts of sex, so please proceed with caution... Or joy?
(characterizations are heavily inspired by remember_rain's fic "Carry On", a Cid/Clive fic, which I highly recommend you check out!! While not required as it's in its own universe, if you read hers before you read mine, the characterizations might not seem so out of the blue... this is basically glorified fanfiction of her fanfiction. XD)
