Summary
Sephiroth taunted Cloud from above, "Tell me what you cherish most. Give me the pleasure of taking it away."
Cloud replied, perhaps without thinking of the consequences, "I pity you. You just don't get it at all. There's not a thing I don't cherish."
All too happy to take everything from Cloud, Sephiroth obliged him. Sadly, for Sephiroth, things didn't quite go as planned.It happened so quickly. Cloud could hardly understand what he was seeing when finally, he dropped from midair and slammed through one floor, and then another and then left a solid impact crater on yet another floor. Alarms blared in the distance and electricity sparked from the damage. Cloud faced a closed window and saw several once destroyed but somehow now intact reactors release exhaust into the sky.
"What the?" The voice of a child exclaimed.
Cloud looked in the reflection of the window and saw Zack. A very much alive, much younger, currently slack-jawed, Zack.

Crisis Core -Reunion- Unofficial Novelization by EllaEpoche
Fandoms: Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
20 May 2025

Summary
A novelization of Crisis Core -Reunion- that includes everything you can imagine from the original game: missions, side quests, fan clubs, secret boss fights, and a chapter from Before Crisis featuring Zack! It includes or references every email that Zack receives and every Digital Mind Wave (DMW) scene.
While the work itself is not a game guide, the notes at the end of each chapter note where to find each mission and side quest referenced in that chapter.
Though most of the novel is written from Zack's POV, there are short scenes from the POV of Sephiroth, Angeal, Genesis, Tseng, Tifa, and Cloud. There are also a few short fanon scenes to help with pacing, especially during chapters that are very side-mission-focused.
It is a rework of a novelization I wrote on my old AO3 account a few years ago.

A what-if scenario in which Zack and Aerith never met during Crisis Core and Zack survives his last stand. Originally written for Zerith Week, Day 1: Church
Ch 8, Forgiveness & Permission: Following Tifa’s recount of Avalanche’s last mission and Cloud’s disappearance, she and Zack have a much needed talk.

Summary
Loyalty can be bought for the right price. Nobody will acknowledge you unless they want something from you. Nobody can truly be trusted. These were the three rules of any social interaction that were drilled into Rufus' head from a young age.
A character study on one of the most interesting characters in the FFVII compilation in my opinion, going through each era of the compilation from his childhood to post AC. Takes inspiration from both OG and the Remake trilogy.

Summary
It’s just another day on the job for Reno.
Or at least, it was supposed just another day. Until a surprise encounter with a sewer-dwelling creature got him ‘knocked up’ right in the middle of his work. But thankfully Reno doesn’t have to suffer through his breeding kink blazing like a wildfire all by himself- Rude wants to enjoy seeing him like this too.

I Hate You (P.S.- Please Be Safe) by Chaapanya

Summary
Nyx scoffed and her frown flipped into a smug grin. “Your edge? You hardly had one to begin with, Reno. The only one’s you’re even capable of bullying are the basic foot soldiers that scurry around behind you and even then they don’t always listen. How did you even get second in command? You’re useless.”
“Useless?” Reno’s eyebrow quirked up at that. “You wouldn’t last a single week without me here, Princess.”
“I’d last an eternity; a euphoric one without having your obnoxious mouth around, too.”Or
Five times Reno and Nyx deny there are any feelings between them and one time they finally give in to their heart's desire.
