    Summary

    You survived. Somehow. Everyone else is gone—swallowed up in the final battle against Sephiroth—and the only one left standing beside you is Cloud. Not because you chose each other, not because you want to. But because grief is cruel, and fate is crueler.

    You’re stuck together, bound not by affection but by loss. You fight, you hate, you tear each other open because it’s easier than facing what’s missing. And yet, somewhere in the ashes of what you both destroyed, something else begins to take shape. Not tenderness, not forgiveness—but something just as dangerous.

    “I love it when you threaten to kill me. Because every time you don’t just tells me how much you don’t want to.”

    Summary

    In the heart of Midgar High, the perfect student and the quiet troublemaker fall in love when no one’s watching.
    Tifa Lockhart spends her days keeping order, while Cloud Strife spends his breaking it.
    After school, when the classrooms empty and the light softens to gold, they meet in the quiet corners of convenience stores and bus stops, pretending they’re just classmates.
    They know it won’t last—she’s meant for bigger things, and he’s still figuring out where he belongs—but for now, between the noise of youth and the ache of growing up, they find something worth holding onto.

    Summary

    Tifa Lockhart is surprised to find Cloud Strife at the sector 7 train station. She’s shocked to find him carrying a child and dragging a makeshift stretcher with a badly injured Soldier. But Zack had done his best for her hometown, Tifa could never refuse a child in trouble, and there's no way Tifa can do nothing when her childhood friend needs her help.
    Cloud Strife thought his childhood friend and the girl he’d loved since childhood was dead. Not only is he happy to find she’s alive, she’s now helping him care for both Zack and Denzel and helping him build a life and a home for them.
    Or:
    Remake AU where Cloud and Tifa reunite at the train station but he's got Denzel and an unconscious Zack with him.
    Zack is alive but just barely. Denzel got orphaned early. Cloud is confused but determined to be the best dad.

    Little Sephiroth by ,

    Summary

    Cloud had never expected to accidentally find general Sephiroth asleep while he was on laundry duty, having fully thought that the man wasn't in his living quarters at the time.
    What he had expected even less was the discovery that the general, the demon of Wutai, the strongest SOLDIER of them all, was apparently a little, the knowledge top secret.
    Finding no caregiver to take care of the regressed Sephiroth, Cloud finds that he has little choice but to stay with him until he gets big, giving Sephiroth a taste of how life would be with someone who cares near.
    After that evening, he finds himself craving more of that, and offering Cloud a deal, he finds himself with a caregiver, showing him a world of kindness and gentleness he had never experienced before.

    Summary

    There's a shift in the universe Zack's not aware of. Running from death and kicking ass, all he can do is get Cloud as far away from Nibelheim and Hojo as he can. Hopefully running right back to the heart of Shinra doesn't backfire on him. He got Cloud into this mess to begin with, he better be able to get him out of it.

    Zack is alive, spoilers for remake, loosely canon and I mean loosely. Fix it Fic. Starts at end of Crisis Core. Or the end of the remake? What is this nonsense. Also loosely canon CC.

    Summary

    It's a couple days before the third anniversary of Aerith's passing. Although Cloud no longer blames himself, the hole she left behind is still large. But, he's come to accept that she isn't coming back, she's gone forever.

    Imagine Cloud's surprise upon arriving to the Sector 5 Church, and finding Aerith laying in her flower bed. She's alive. Under mysterious circumstances. However, her revival comes with a price. She cannot walk, and requires a wheelchair to get around.

    Cloud and Aerith fall for each other all over again, as Cloud steps in to take care of her.

    [Inspired by a Clerith manga written by Krudears]

    Summary

    You thought if you stayed on your own, embraced the bitter loneliness that forever contained, and used your skills to help the people of Gaia as you wandered from town to town that maybe the sins of the past would begin to fade. And when you take your last breath on this Planet the scars you’ve inflicted would disappear alongside you. At least that was the hope. Though you aren’t really sure anymore. Maybe there was a better way to set things right.

    You told yourself you’d accompany them until they arrived at the saucer, return to your work, and consider it another job well done, but with every day, even though it’s only been two short weeks, you find yourself wishing that you would never have to leave them.

    Summary

    “Did you get all of them?” Master asks.

    Cloud lifts his head and nods eagerly.

    He got all of the monsters!

    Praise him, now?

    Praise, please?

    Master smiles down at him and strokes Cloud’s head.

    “Good boy.”

    Cloud pushes up into the touch and preens.

    He was good!

    “Come.”

    Master turns to leave and Cloud eagerly hurries after him. After a few moments, Master slows down, as if remembering that Cloud’s legs are shorter than his. That allows Cloud to catch up to Master, so he can walk by his side.

    Where he belongs.

    Summary

    OG/Rebirth/ACC+DOC spoilers.
    Zack takes it upon himself once he realised Aerith’s attempt to change things went badly. Too bad that he doesn’t exactly tell Cloud this. Or Tifa, and Denzel, who just happened to accidentally come along for the ride to Zack throwing Cloud back to when in time they could make a difference. They’ll be fine, he’s sure. Cloud, on the other hand, has words for his best friend. They rhyme with that could he, maybe not? (He doubts Zack is going to listen, either way).

    Summary

    Cloud isn’t the only one to fail SOLDIER after weeks of boot camp. (Though he is the smallest. And the youngest. And, you know, illegal.)

    And he’s not the only one to go into infantry to stay around for his next shot at SOLDIER. (But he is the smallest, and the youngest, yadda yadda.)

    Cloud does not doubt he would be the most hated man in the army, soon to be kicked out, no doubt, if it weren’t for one single thing.

    Chocobos.

    Summary

    Cloud Strife might be the golden boy on the ice, but when it comes to Tifa Lockhart, he’s always been a disaster. Between fangirl drama at school, late nights hanging out in her family’s bar over chicken wings and fruit punch, and the countless times he’s had to play “fake boyfriend” to get creeps off her back, Tifa’s never realized how much he’s been holding her up. But when a fight cracks her open and leads to a teary confession, the childhood friends find themselves tangled in blankets on her living room sofa, too wrapped up in each other to notice her parents snooping. Cue awkward celebrations, embarrassing scolding, and the realization that maybe—just maybe—they’ve always been each other’s forever. A rom-com with wings, fruit punch, hockey drama, and a whole lot of heart.
