    Summary

    They saw the sword in Sephiroth's apartment. It was a beautiful piece of work that no one had any idea how and when Sephiroth had obtained such a weapon.

    Sephiroth never used it. He would polish the blades until they reflected the sun from the windows and the moon in the sky. He would glare at any who interrupted this time, as if they had intruded onto his very heart and soul.

    Lovingly, tenderly, carefully; like the sound of a sword being drawn from its sheath.

    Summary

    Prior to joining Shinra, if someone asked Cloud to describe his hero Sephiroth he would’ve said 'inspiring'. After meeting him, Cloud would add the word 'dangerous'. When Cloud became Sephiroth's student, he could only say Sephiroth is 'impossible to please'.

    While Cloud struggles to meet the high standard set for him, Sephiroth seems to have greater plans for Cloud than he could ever guess.
    Why does Sephiroth look for scars Cloud does not have? Why does the general seem to be reciting a script only he knows the words to?
    Cloud isn't sure if he'll survive being Sephiroth’s student long enough to find out.

    Summary

    Cloud somehow makes it into the brand new Pre-SOLDIER training Academy, and he lands Sephiroth as his mentor despite his poor performance. Sephiroth doesn't exactly welcome him with open arms, but he can't seem to stay away for too long either.

    That doesn't mean he intends to have anything to do with actually mentoring Cloud, though.

    Summary

    Cloud knew what his purpose was, what he was signing up for. He saw himself in the mirror— the black-blue bruises and indentations of teeth deep in his flesh. No attempts of healing could ever smooth his body, not with Sephiroth marking him, owning him.

    Still, there was this boyish fantasy inside him that kept telling him that it's okay, it's love.

    On the verge of leaving Shinra for being the lowest in the ranks, Cadet Cloud Strife caught the attention of the General who had just returned from finishing a war. What do generals do to pretty young boys after a war?

    Summary

    Cloud Strife was labeled defiant, a troublemaker, disciplinary case. But when Commander Angeal Hewley is called to punish him, he finds a different story written in bruises, missing files, and a boy too quiet for his age.

    As the Firsts uncover the truth, Cloud’s past begins to unravel, along with something deeper…
    He was never just another cadet.

    Summary

    Cadet Cloud Strife wants one thing, to become a SOLDIER. Not for glory, but to prove he’s worth something in a world that’s tried to break him more than once.

    But between a buried past, and the weight of trauma, Cloud’s dream feels further away than ever. What he doesn’t expect is the attention of Shinra’s most powerful SOLDIERs, or the complicated bond that forms when mentorship turns into something far deeper.

    They see his potential. They see him. And Cloud will fight tooth and nail to earn his place, even if it means tearing himself apart to do it.

    After all, there isn't a worry in the world that can't be healed with ice swimming and a bit of naked communication.

    Summary

    It's been weeks since Zack wrote the not-so-stupid article that managed to change Sephiroth's life as ShinRa's Prized General forever. No longer did people view him as a hollow celebrity, enigmatic and untouchable, but rather a respectable human being with a heart and soul.

    So why complain about some trivial mission to fix a Mako Reactor when he'd never been happier in his life?

    Summary

    Gloved hands gripped tightly at the armrests of his chair, leather creaking as he tensed for a fight he no longer understood the rules for. His pulse thrummed loudly in his ears while a representative at the head of the table went on about the quarterly budget, flowery excuses made for the more lavish expenditures in the report.

    She was not with him.

    He sat there and he could not feel Her no matter how far he reached for Her residual warmth, a stagnant void where She had once taken residence in his head and flowed freely through his veins. The very reason for why his heart still beats was simply gone, leaving him with nothing but disorientation and a slow-broiling rage to fill its place.

    His Mother’s voice was not among the buzzing chatter of insects that filled this room.

    Sephiroth, who is still under Jenova’s influence and currently not in the best mindset for anything regarding the Planet’s wellbeing, is the one that will have to change fate for the better.

    AKA This is a FF7 time travel fix-it, but Jenova is one hell of a drug.

    Summary

    This is a previously unfinished one-shot I originally intended for my Kinktober 2020 collection. The premise is a time-travel fix-it, in which Aerith is sending Cloud to a variety of universes to prevent Sephiroth from going insane.

    In this universe, Cloud wakes up in the cadet dorms at Shinra. He gets a call from Sephiroth, who is out on a mission.

    Yes, the title is a Sade reference.

    Summary

    A mako-hunting mission should be a simple task - all in a day's work for a SOLDIER. But when the ones who are supposed to be the strongest around are rendered helpless, who will be left to protect them? As Cloud Strife will soon learn, it isn't always born greatness or inhuman strength that makes a hero. Sometimes all it takes is being in the right place at the right time.
