Disclaim Her: This story uses characters and settings owned by Square Enix. No money is being made from the creation of this fanfic, and no copywrite infringement is intended. Some lines at the beginning of this fic and in chapter ten are taken word-for-word from the game.

A/N: So, I really kinda like those 'New Game +' types of fics that take the all-too-common video game shtick which lets you start the game again with certain perks after beating it once. Of course, FFVIII doesn't have a NG+ – none of the Final Fantasy games do, except X-2 – but like that's going to stop me. This idea bit me and I had little chance but to go along for the ride.
This fic, just as a warning, isn't even going to loosely follow the game path. Squall's here to change things, and he's going to damn-well change them.

I may have been reading too many FFVIII fics of late, but I'll try not to steal anyone's ideas, or step on any toes. This fic does owe some inspiration to Second Chances, by emcey squared. Also one or two minor plot points borrowed from grazhir/Shivani's Snafu, which she okayed.

Another Meme and a Xerosis update

Xerosis shall be going yet another week – two weeks? – without an update. And by that, I mean it won't be updated in two days. Whoops?
On the up side, I wrote an entire fic in two weeks. *grin* And now that bunny is out of the way, I should be able to focus on Xerosis again. So....
Next week. I'll aim for an update next week.
Sorry?

Also, meme. That I stole from eaivalefay. (Again.)
