Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Characters: Professor Hojo, Lucrecia Crescent
Pairing: Hojo/Lucrecia
Rating: G
Word Count: 575

Summary: Hojo has a sprained ankle due to being attacked by a monster. He is not happy with this, but there is a silver lining.
Author's Notes: Written for 36_stratagems. Only original game canon is used. Beta'ed by amethystfirefly.
Prompt: 34. Inflict injury on one's self to win the enemy's trust. Pretending to be injured has two possible applications. In the first, the enemy is lulled into relaxing his guard since he no longer considers you to be an immediate threat. The second is a way of ingratiating yourself to your enemy by pretending the injury was caused by a mutual enemy.
Disclaimer: The characters in this story aren't mine, they belong to Square-Enix instead. Also, I make no money off of this.
