    Summary

    A giant pale snake stalked the forest, looking for prey. He was as mighty as he was deadly and everyone feared him. Even the humans.

    While on the prowl, he came across an egg. A delicious looking chocobo egg in an abandoned nest.

    Before he could eat it, a thought occurred to him. A hatchling with its crunchy bones and juicy meat would make a far more enjoyable meal than a measly egg.

    So he settled to wait, coiling around the egg, waiting for it to hatch.

    As the shell started to crack, he perked up, eager to feast. A mop of unruly feathers appeared, followed by a pair of clearest blue eyes he'd ever seen. They gazed at him in adoration and he couldn't look away.

    Many had feared him, many had hated him, but he'd never seen such affection directed at him. What a fascinating creature this was! It would be a waste to kill it, he decided. No, he would keep it. He would make it his own.

    It would be his pet.

    Summary

    In a bar in The Edge there is a corner booth. This corner booth is situated in such a way that if you sit in just the right spot you can see the whole bar, but not draw the attention of anyone. This suited Cloud Strife just fine.

    Cloud likes to sit in the bar some evenings to get his own work done and keep an eye on Tifa. This particular night seems like any other until some idiot decides to flirt with Tifa.

    Summary

    Mai ti saresti aspettata di vincere una delle ambitissime borse di studio offerte dalla prestigiosa Università di Shinra. Una semplice carriera universitaria, un’avventura caratterizzante della vita di molti giovani , e della tua, trasformata in un orrore, e attimi solo da dimenticare, perché costellati di dolore e risentimento verso terzi, verso te stessa, verso la tua testa, sempre tra le nuvole. In molti non si sarebbero compiaciuti per il risultato, da te ottenuto, come te stessa, in quanto non avevi conseguito l’accesso ai corsi più prestigiosi e noti dell’università come fisica, ma quello di Design. Ma a te poco importava dato che quella era stata la tua scelta ed era stata rispettata, opzione non del tutto scontata perché in molti studenti si sono ritrovati ad accettare borse di studio per corsi che non gli appassionavano o minimamente interessavano, dato che solo uno sciocco rifiuterebbe un posto alla Shinra. E adesso, che non sei più un piccolo agnello del primo anno ma bensì una molto più navigata studentessa del secondo, ti ritrovi ad essere emozionata per il nuovo anno pronta a rincontrare i tuoi cari colleghi e scoprire cosa ha in serbo per te il tuo professore.

    Summary

    Something was off.

    Cloud sensed it, Angeal sensed it, Genesis sensed it and even Zack sensed it. In the past week or so, Sephiroth had been acting more and more odd, pulling back from them and brushing things off when they try to gently ask him about it and they have no idea what to do

    When Cloud realises what is going on, he is horrified and he and the rest of his partners need to make sure that Sephiroth will be okay before he spirals out of control..... again

    Summary

    For two years now, Zack has been working with Tifa at Seventh Heaven, earning his keep as a bartender. Charming and handsome, he's had no trouble making connections or friends, or finding new opportunities wherever his journeys take him.

    Everything seems nice and easy-peasy for him.

    Everything except the fact that ever since Zack got presented as Omega almost two years ago, his love life had quickly taken a turn for the worse. Not the most traditional Omega, he's already scared away almost every potential mate that has crossed his path. Finding poor solace in his friendships alone while something deeper and more profound is still missing from his life, he keeps finding himself more and more lonely and miserable these days.

    That is until a strange, blond guy arrives in town, and attempts to change the course of destiny.

    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

    Another FF7 story - guess you can tell I recently played through Remake again and Rebirth and my mind is hooked on stuff. I may come back to this kind of story later on but there's the continuation coming later.
    Entirely based on a series of Renders by @/LiquidSnack8 on Twitter / X.
    Me and the artist ended up having a chat about a side story that we thought might have been going on and I wanted to expand it. I'm not doing this with any intention of profiting from their work, I'm simply basing the story around the idea the Render series they've done has inspired me.
    Please do go check out their work, it's phenomenal and they're such a sweety.
    As Always,
    Much Love,
    Amy. xx

    Summary

    Not all of them started this mission to save the world. For some, the journey was one of self discovery. For others, rediscovery. There are old grudges and vendettas. Responsibilities too great for one person's shoulders. Still, the road ahead is long, rife with challenges.

    But there are also moments of calm. Moments of respite where they can simply be.

    This is a collection of snippets and drabbles from their journey around the world that may ultimately feed into a larger work.

    Will add more tags as I load more snippets.

    Summary

    -Minor spoilers for FF7 Rebirth, Chapter 7

    Tifa gets time-stopped by an advancing King Tonberry. Cloud protects her but sustains a fatal blow. Tifa revives him and the party takes him back to Costa del Sol to recover. She worries more than ever about the danger they face, but Aerith comforts her and Cloud makes her a new promise, and together the group finds a way forward.

    Cloud looks at her, his eyes vivid with focus. “What about you? Are you okay?” His eyes are unquestionably beautiful, swirled into a turquoise-green galaxy from mako, but not a day goes by that she doesn’t miss the solemn stormy blue they used to be, the reason his mother named him Cloud. My little storm cloud, she’d say. Tifa couldn’t picture a single memory of her calling him that, but she can hear it clear as day, an echo from the past.

    Summary

    The raven’s expression darkened slightly, a small frown tugging at his lips, a hesitance to his words as he whispered into the space between them.
    “Do you…remember what happened? To us, to..”
    He kept the word Nibelheim to himself, but the implication hung heavily in the air. Cloud wheezed out a sharp breath and his ground up words were muffled in the fabric of the elders shirt.
    “Bits an-and pieces..”

    Summary

    “Welcome home, honey! Took your sweet time,” Jessie said sweetly, waving from where she was leaning against one of the doors on the left side of the room.

    On the right side, sitting on the bed with a grin that Cloud could only describe as evil, Zack mimicked her wave. “Hey, honey. What kept you?”

    “Assholes with big mouths.” Cloud muttered. He let the door shut behind him reluctantly. With it went his fleeting hope for a quiet rest of his night. “Speaking of; what do you want?”

    “That’s real nice. She’s here to ask for your help, y’know.”

    “I was talking to you.”

    Summary

    But the pink blanket doesn’t cover anything, it simply catches the tears that Cloud’s fingertips just barely miss. They graze her skin like flames against her atoms.

    And his voice is soft when it pierces the silence,

    “How do you know?”

    So she responds the only way she knows how,

    “When you know, you know.”

    And because Aerith has too much and not enough time, she spends it with Cloud.
