Dissidia: Second String, Round 1

Title: Dissidia: Second String

Rating: PG, mostly for violence.

Summary: What if the heroes of Dissidia and Duodecim were replaced with their supporting cast instead?

Author’s Note:  I’m blaming this one entirely on tenshinoakuma.  How this hijacked my dwindling fanfic time, I don’t know.  This isn't what I was supposed to be writing at all.

The rules I set for myself were thus:  Dissidia, how it might have gone if it only used parts of the cast not present in Duodecim.  I broke this rule only for ExDeath, because, um, yeah, FF5 doesn’t actually really have a cast of villains?  It’s ExDeath and Gilgamesh and that’s it.  I could have wiki’d some of the sub-bosses, but that would no longer be fulfilling the whole ‘connections between those summoned’ requirement of canon.  Also, FF5’s sub-bosses were lame.  The fact I had to wiki them despite playing the game not all that long ago is testament to that.

Also, I left out FF11 altogether.  Not like Shanttoto or Prishe were in the main storyline anyway.

Anyhow, I digress!  This was written sort of as a series of what were originally intended to be stand-alone snippets, so I'd be more inclined to label these as a series of related drabbles more than a multi-chapter fic.  The story beats are largely the same as Dissidia itself, naturally, so that should hopefully cut down on disorientation.  I’m marking each section with its respective FF, so you can only check out the FFs you’re interested in if you want.

I don’t have a specific update schedule for this, because my schedule is still in a bit of flux at the moment and I’ve got a fair bit on my plate.  Probably an update once a week, likely Saturdays.
