Summary
Aerith never thought she'd get another birthday, let alone the chance to rediscover a lost Cetra tradition—one where the birthday girl gives gifts to her loved ones instead of receiving them.
Armed with homemade presents, a whole lot of love, and Cloud at her side, she sets off on a mission across Edge to make sure each of her friends knows just how much they mean to her. But as the day unfolds, she finds that joy and grief are never too far apart, and some old wounds don’t heal as easily as others.
A story about love, memory, and finding pieces of yourself in the people who cherish you most, for /r/clerith's February 2025 Arts Fair.

Summary
Written for Clerith Arts Fair November 2024: Synergy
Reeve Tuesti is a company man through and through. He's spent his entire life climbing corporate bureaucracy, playing office politics and placating middle managers so that he can get on with the business of designing the world's largest city. To him, "synergy" has always been a useless buzzword.
But when Reeve catches security footage of a young couple moving through the slums, he sees firsthand the power that trust and teamwork can have. As Shinra begins to make decisions that threaten his beloved city, will Reeve be inspired to finally take a stand against the Planet's ruthless corporate overlords?
A canon-compliant alternate point of view of Remake Part 1, from Reeve and Cait Sith's point of view.
