    Summary

    Sometime in the early 1980s, the future Emperor of Wutai raided a Shinra lab in a small town called Nibelheim, and brought an unusual prize home with him: a small boy who had been an experimental subject. Godo Kisaragi proceeded to raise the child as his own.

    More than a decade later, Prince Sephiroth Kisaragi returns to Nibelheim as part of a campaign to liberate the Western Continent from the clutches of Shinra. There he meets a young man named Cloud Strife, and, on impulse, offers him an opportunity to train to become part of Wutai's most elite military company.

    And history begins to swirl . . .

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Eliddell's take on pre-downfall Sephiroth is stoic and strategic; his emotions aren't just repressed, they're carefully sealed away in tidily labeled bottles that can be contemplated but never opened. His character is remarkably consistent across Eliddel's fics, even though the circumstances change, and she's good at making the details work for rather than against her story. Sephiroth as a Wutai prince really fits.

    Summary

    With the Immortal Alliance Conference looming ever closer, Binghe finds his Shizun acting strangely, intent on telling him a series of tales with some lessons hidden within that he struggles to interpret. Tales of heroes doomed to an ill fate, of enchanted silence, of love, of kind demons, and demonic realms. The only thing Binghe is sure of is that his Shizun is secretly pleading for understanding and help. And he hopes maybe also… true love?

    Summary

    It took Shen Yuan a full week to realize he'd transmigrated into PIDW.

    In his defense, he'd woken up to a sky filled with blood rain, raging walls of hellfire, and a shadowy thing trying to take a bite out of his leg. He'd had to hit the ground running (literally, because that shadow thing had been hungry and fast) and hadn't had much time to take in his surroundings.

    Luckily he was fast in this life. His strange new set of goat-like legs seemed to help with that.

    In which Shen Yuan transmigrates as an incubus, and everyone realizes it but him.

    Real talk: this should be the default mode for FFVII time travel. Cloud gets the hell out of Dodge and starts tearing down Shinra. This is unfinished but glorious--Cloud is living his best life, having a great time, and everyone else is playing catch up
