    Summary

    Cloud is kidnapped by terrorists in Gongaga, setting in motion events that place him firmly in the life of General Sephiroth. The story runs parallel to Game canon to a point, but also deviates in places (particularly time line wise). Features dark themes, Turk!Cloud and M/M scenes.

    Summary

    “You fell into mako?” Tifa asked. That was new. That was different from last time.

    “The doctor said I’m lucky not to be poisoned,” Cloud told her. He pointed at his face with the hand that wasn’t holding Tifa up. “It messed up my eyes, though.”

    His eyes were blue, with a few swirls of Lightstream green. The same as they had been after Hojo’s experiments. Tifa leaned in to stare at them, ignoring Cloud’s cheeks turning a splotchy red. Yes, they were exactly the same. The Planet had returned his enhancements to him, hopefully without the side effect that was Sephiroth’s repeated attempts to regain a foothold in -

    Sephiroth. Sephiroth was alive.

    “What was the dream about?” Cloud asked.

    “We went to Midgar,” Tifa said quietly, unable to not tell him, “and we met a flower girl. And when she died, the world ended.” She turned her head away from him, the horrible, possessive words squeezing out of her lips where Aerith finally couldn’t hear them. “She was ours. And we just. . . she was ours.”

    --

    tifa wakes up in the past, cloud promises to figure out what happened, and in the periphery, aerith and zack scheme

    Summary

    ... and not what you want.

    Cloud Strife discovers his dynamic, tries to join SOLDIER despite the obstacles put in his way thanks to said dynamic, and gets what he needs in the process, if not what he wants.

    (But what he needs contains a lot of things of what he wants, too. Not just all of them.)

    Summary

    Cloud and Sephiroth were teenage sweethearts during Sephiroth's one-year stay in Nibelheim. But to save Cloud's life, Sephiroth was forced to leave both Nibelheim and Cloud and return to his role as a General. In the process he broke Cloud's heart.

    A few years later they meet again when Shinra sends Sephiroth to inspect the malfunctioning reactor. Too bad Cloud isn't exactly interested.

    But, will he eventually prevent Nibelheim from burning and save Sephiroth? And why is he sensing an otherworldly threat emanating from the reactor?

    Will they EVER reconcile and get a chance to be happy together?

    Takes place immediately after "If I am the sky you are my star" ( EC!Seph (-ish) + pre-OG Cloud)

    Summary

    ShinRa's military consisted of over one hundred squadrons, each competing for the highest rank possible. The top rank? SOLDIER, First Class. It had been held by ShinRa's most elite all-alpha squadron for years now.

    They happened to be Cloud's true mates.

    Joining their pack was one thing, but joining their squadron? No way. He wasn't interested in taking any short cuts to jump up in the ranks. Unfortunately for him, that meant they couldn't always be by his side - and omegas in the military? Even the strongest ones needed protection sometimes.

    Summary

    If this were a different story, Zack thinks, he would be using his last moments to remember kind, green eyes and a sweet smile. He would be staring out into the raining sky, life running out of him, while making peace with the fact that he would never see his first love again. If this were a different story, Zack would not be left empty-handed, crying out as his friend stumbles away into the remnants of a battlefield. He would not be praying for that blond head to turn, aching to capture the final sight of a cherished face before locking it behind two lids.

    No, this does not feel like a fitting end to this story at all―and Zack overflows with the one childish thought that this is unbearably unfair. In the rare moments that he, as any soldier must, contemplated his death, he never imagined that he would die alone.

    Summary

    A small portion of the population are Gifted and able to do things that are superhuman. No one knows how a person becomes a Gifted or even where they come from, only that there are organizations in the world that compete to control them to control the world. Cloud has never had interest in becoming involved with the politics of his world, but when he is sent on a delivery that throws him into the middle of all that he avoided he must take a stance.

    Sephiroth has been a Gifted for as long as he can remember and has watched as his close friends have found their soul mates while he has remained alone. When he finds a non-Gifted that sparks his interest will it be from mere curiosity, a sign that he is loosing his grasp on reality waiting for his soul mate, or is there more to the small blond than meets the eye.
