Summary
Deep breath. "Would it help if I told you I was fighting Shinra?" Aeris raised her head and leant back on her hands. The girl stared down, haloed by the streaming sunlight. So bright in here; a quirk of the plate alignments allowed actual sun to flood the interior of- Wait. What was this place? Pews or something like them in two ordered columns. The windows seemed formed of stained glass. So- She almost regretted turning her head, but before the pain got too much- There. An altar. This was a church. A church? Aeris blinked. Odd.
Aeris falls from the Upper Plate and meets Tifa; the Last Cetra.

Summary
Accommodation was the easier to procure; people within Midgar compromised frequently, subdividing living spaces intended for lower number of occupants to squeeze as many as possible into cramped apartments. The odd family somehow clinging to older money could afford to keep an actual house in the slums, but most long ago gave up any notion of aspiration. Tifa responded to an advert in one of the local stores, anxious to get out of the inn she was holed up in. The advert lead her to Jessie.
Tifa applies for somewhere to live shortly after coming to in Midgar.

Summary
Tifa stopped worrying about physical harm coming to Cloud pretty early on in their relationship. Their true relationship, not the vague mutual acquaintanceship they shared as children when he knew who she was, when she was only faintly aware of him: someone else who lived in Nibelheim. Not someone she classified as one of her friends.
Tifa contemplates Cloud's hardiness.

Summary
The witch nodded and strode away, waving him after her. Cloud followed the winding route as she threaded through the cramped space. He half expected a cauldron at the end. Instead they arrived at what looked a lot like a kitchen. The witch tugged a thin and ragged book from a shelf of recipe books and leafed through it. From here the contents seemed to be a variety of newspaper and magazine clippings. She stopped on a specific page and bustled around the kitchen. She at least fit to the environment - if not so much the impression her description gave Cloud.
Cloud fetches a potion from Avalanche's witch.

The Last Cetra by sanctum_c

Summary
The whispering voice of the Planet diminished and faded to nothing. The surge of Lifestream energy she coaxed into the flower mound was gone. Or perhaps not gone; perhaps she could simply no longer sense it. Silence. No, not silence. The distant sound of wind through the shattered remains of Midgar. The distant drips of burst pipes and falling water. Faint stirrings of scavengers – both human and inhuman – out in the surrounding sectors. But so little in her head.
Without warning, Aeris can no longer hear the Planet.

Summary
If you knew Aeris – or knew a friend of a friend who knew her – you would know that asking to buy a certain variety of flower would not necessarily get you the right species. But clasped against the stem would be a plastic bag with her other product
Aeris sells more than flowers.

Summary
“It helps to focus on your breathing,” said an unfamiliar voice.
Aeris opened one eye, her vision blurry with tears and she blinked rapidly. The older boy with silver hair. The staff seemed careful to keep them apart, but she glimpsed him when not hurried out of rooms in time. He lingered by the door, watching her. “Breathing?” she managed, her throat tight.
Mako infusions are always horrible; today Aeris meets someone who helps her cope.

Aeris liked Cloud. That should have been a simple enough sentiment, but these kind of things never seemed to be entirely straight-forward.

Summary
Long-term survival in Midgar depended on a few specific factors of which location was probably the single most important. Always safer on the Upper Plate; best place for anyone wanting a shot at a longer life. The slums varied wildly in terms of personal security. Sector Seven felt safe enough; at least Tifa never felt the need to look over her shoulder there. Unlike, say, Sector Six. Sector Five was reportedly also a pretty safe district, but that part of Midgar tended to inspire some odd rumors. Houses that moved and might be capable of eating people for one extreme example. Hard to give that any credence, but with a city of this scale and with official reports of monsters managing to enter the city in the night-time, and the strangeness of documented monster types in the area, near anything seemed possible.
Tifa worries the flower girl in the pink dress is way too innocent to be wandering into Sector Six.

Summary
Aeris undid her ribbon and palmed the white materia. The Turk either took no notice or was beyond caring about what her ribbon kept safe. “Do you have a knife?” she asked over her shoulder.
“You think I’d trust you with a blade?” the Turk scoffed.
“I haven't tried to run, have I?” Aeris shook her head. “I don't need you to give it to me. I just want to cut my hair. Fast.”
This time Aeris failed to get away; this time the Turks caught her. Her fate? The SOLDIER induction program. And perhaps there's still a chance to get out of this...

Summary
Aeris span around, the music growing more frantic; her movement was slow enough to not leave her dizzy, but still fast enough to blur the church around her. The music hit an abrupt lull when the next verse began; she ended her spin facing the radio. The tiny LED clock indicated it was almost nine. Time she got moving. Aeris murmured along to the lyrics and picked up the scattered props; her still not quite right line of candles, her staff, her poi. Was the song already repeating itself in the verse? Certainly it was not a complicated song. Still effective enough to dance to. Aeris sashayed to the pew where her long pink dress lay. Demure at a quick glance, but anyone taking a longer look would note the garment was less innocent than might be initially assumed; the neckline was pretty low and she never did button it up fully.
Aeris heads out for the night's work.

The Perfect Present by sanctum_c for popfever

Summary
Aeris smiled at Tifa. "So, I was wondering if you'd like to come here for the holiday?" Tifa's breath caught. "I know it's not the same, and-"
"Yes," Tifa said. "I would love to spend the holiday with you."
Aeris grinned. "Our first Winter Solstice together. We'll have to make it a special one."
Tifa nodded. And to make it special, Aeris would need the perfect present.
Aeris and Tifa are going to spend their first Winter Solstice together. Both want to give the other the perfect present.

Summary
Tifa took a deep breath and stepped out onto the Midgar streets. Finally. She had finally made it into the Turks. Finally made it through all the training, the tests, the sleepless nights. Finally she had her dream job. And it had been worth every obstacle, every difficulty and every objection along the way; she had pushed through them all and succeeded.
Tifa has joined the Turks and is ready for her first day on the street.

Summary
Aeris ran into the darkness of Sector Three with Cloud on her heels. Any moment the blossoming pain of a bullet might strike her, or she might trip, or- She kept on running, still uninjured for now. Ahead an alley loomed out of the dark and she darted towards it. Aeris skidded to a halt and pressed her back against the wall as she fought her breathing under control. Cloud panted beside her. “Think we lost them?” he asked after a moment.
Aeris and Cloud wind up in the slums of Sector Three after attacking the Mako reactor.

Press for Emergency Ventilation by sanctum_c for Nautilusopus

Summary
Pain seemed to be all Cloud knew from the moment he threw Sephiroth into the mako pool. If only he could have stayed awake in the aftermath. If only Hojo had not captured him. If only- Cloud clenched his teeth as his head bent back on the operating table and he grunted with pain. Press for Emergency Ventilation. The sign was upside down and familiar, but it was all he had in these moments, his sole distraction. Press for Emergency Ventilation. His arms strained against the restraints as Hojo cut deeper, or pulled or- The sensations were not delineated; it was simply pain.
Cloud dies at Hojo's hands after his capture at Nibelheim. Then he was left with the question: now what?

Summary
The Seventh Heaven was quiet as he approached. Correction; the place was dead. A glance in the door confirmed the place near deserted; there was only one woman inside with her back to him. Was this all for her? "Hi, er-"
The woman did not turn around as she replied. "We're not serving tonight." She sounded familiar. Too familiar. "Come back tomorrow."
"Wasn't here for a drink; someone ordered pizza to here and-" He tried to puzzle the girl out; she glanced over her shoulder and- "Tifa?"
Tifa Lockhart blinked at him in confusion, her whole posture changing as she turned to face him. Her gaze swept to the pile of pizza boxes he held and back to him. "Uh. Yeah, we did but-" A burst of anger in her eyes. "I never mentioned my first name."
"Tifa? Seriously, don't you recognise me?" He sighed. It had been a while and that promise must not have been unique to him after all. No matter. "It's me; Cloud. Cloud Strife? From Nibelheim?" Cloud took a tentative step forward. Tifa blinked for a moment and then her eyes widened.
Cloud delivers a pizza to the Seventh Heaven and runs into the last person he ever expected to find in Midgar.

Summary
Aeris darted after the SOLDIER, caught his arm and met his wonderful gaze once more as he turned to her with a questioning look. "Hey, I just met you." She smiled. "And this is crazy. But-" She pushed a scrap of paper into his hand. "-here's my number. So call me maybe?" The SOLDIER glanced at his hand, to her and smiled. "Or-" Aeris said before he could answer. "Give me your number, and maybe I'll call you?"
Aeris meets someone while selling flowers and makes a move.
