However you decide to write it - mako enhanced or materia charged - your drabbles must be just 100 words.

Barret told Cloud he didn't know how to use Materia, and that was true. He didn't like it, he didn't trust it, and he had gotten along just fine without it - but he figured he couldn't turn down any weapon that might give him an advantage. So he asked the ex-SOLDIER for lessons.

Cloud was a patient teacher, but Barret never got more than passable at magic. He could heal in a pinch and cast a Wall with the best of them, but he always made someone else carry the Fire Materia. Somehow, after Corel, he just didn't trust fire.

Title: Mideel Clinic Record C-001
Characters/Pairings: Mideel doctor, implied Cloud
Rating: PG
Team: Avalanche
Word Count: 100

Subject is a male, between eighteen and twenty-five years of age, 172 centimeters, appearing physically fit and healthy. Examination revealed a number of scars, the most significant being what appears to be a pair of stab wounds, one on the anterior aspect inferior to the right ribcage, the other on the dorsal aspect inferior to the right teres minor - perhaps representing the entrance and exit wounds of a single injury, at least five years healed.

Subject is nonverbal, unresponsive to pain, and the level of mako in his blood puts his chances at any significant recovery at 'slim to hopeless.'
