Okay, I didn't so much "forget" to post yesterday as "not remember until 10:30", at which point I decided to do my taxes instead. Mea culpa.
So, for anyone reading this who somehow managed to avoid knowing, a "blanket scenario" is a fic wherein Character A and Character B get trapped in a cabin in a blizzard, where they must share the (one) blanket available Lest They Die. It's a silly trope, but a popular one, and if I am not mistaken (and I'm pretty darned sure I'm not) it was born on an Aoshi/Misao fanfic mailing list about fifteen-ish years ago, quickly spreading throughout the Kenshin fandom, and thence, the rest of the internet.
Without futher ado, I give you A Long Hard Road by twigcollins, an enormous sprawling epic of a Final Fantasy VII fic. I myself have never played the game-- one of my biggest defects as a nerd is that I'm just not able to get into video/computer games of any sort at all. But I've certainly watched people play it, and I'm well familiar with the plot, and I love fanfic for this game.
It's Sephiroth/Cloud, as most of the fic I read for this fandom is (though, actually, I'm more flexible in FFVII than in most things) and set several years after the game when the world has well and truly gone to hell. The blanket scenario occurs about three quarters of the way into the fic, and the author may have admitted in her author's notes that getting there was part of her inspiration for writing the thing. Hell of a lot of setup, if so.
That said, the fic is hella hurt-comforty, which I love (guilty pleasure), but Cloud does spend rather a lot of it in the grips of crippling depression and being tortured. I strongly suspect that it's very triggery for people with anxiety/self-esteem issues, so take that under advisement.
