    Summary

    Every split in the timeline means one goes well and one goes badly. Statistically speaking, there has to be a timeline where everything goes wrong and everything is lost. But those timelines need to be pruned, sheared off the stronger branches where life still thrives. Cloud Strife is the only reason his current timeline exists. After giving Sephiroth the Black Materia to destroy the world, he's left to wander the barren landscape alone for all eternity. Unable to die because of his own link to Sephiroth, he's keeping this fading timeline open simply by existing. But Gaia needs this timeline gone, so there's only one option: Remove Cloud from it entirely, and hand him over to another.

    But this new world is very different from the one he originally comes from. On Gaia's World of the Tree, the most important bond people have is with the planet, while in Odin's World of the Wolf, that honor belongs to the bonds between people. Lifemates and packs, to be precise, so this is going to be interesting.

    -----

    A.K.A. Cloud Strife is having none of this shit, and you can't make him.

    Chapter 1's beginning spints off my fic On Bound and Broken Wings. That's the only OBABW reference though, the rest is standalone.

    Summary

    "Can you hear the planet?” They asked first. “Can you be our hero?” They asked later. "Can you save us from ourselves?" They asked last. No one listened to Sephiroth’s answers no matter how hard he screamed.

    His life was set before him, one piece propped up and knocked down at a time, all leading to madness.

    Note: Now complete.

    Summary

    With his hatred fuelled by the undying fires of the Endless Abyss, it’s not so strange in hindsight that Luo Binghe would start dreaming of tearing apart the man who called himself his shizun. What is strange, though, is that this odd version of Shen Qingqiu starts volunteering for his own destruction.

    Or: not quite realising that he’s been pulled into the real Luo Binghe’s dream, PIDW reader Shen Yuan can’t help but push the story along in his own way.

    Summary

    Gloved hands gripped tightly at the armrests of his chair, leather creaking as he tensed for a fight he no longer understood the rules for. His pulse thrummed loudly in his ears while a representative at the head of the table went on about the quarterly budget, flowery excuses made for the more lavish expenditures in the report.

    She was not with him.

    He sat there and he could not feel Her no matter how far he reached for Her residual warmth, a stagnant void where She had once taken residence in his head and flowed freely through his veins. The very reason for why his heart still beats was simply gone, leaving him with nothing but disorientation and a slow-broiling rage to fill its place.

    His Mother’s voice was not among the buzzing chatter of insects that filled this room.

    Sephiroth, who is still under Jenova’s influence and currently not in the best mindset for anything regarding the Planet’s wellbeing, is the one that will have to change fate for the better.

    AKA This is a FF7 time travel fix-it, but Jenova is one hell of a drug.

    Summary

    It was weird. She could feel the figure wiggling against either side, but not the bottom. Like whatever was stuck inside it was floating. And it was warm against her scales, almost hot. Through the cracks she’d made in the paper mâché, she kept spotting flickers of red, like blood.

    ...Maybe it really WAS a severed hand.

    Susie raised an eyebrow, then grinned. What if she took a quick peek before Noelle got back? Just so she’d know how to keep a hold on it. (And not at all because the curiosity was driving her nuts.)

    She tipped the figure back, yawning it open against her palm like a clam shell. Warm red light washed over the lines on her skin, brighter than ever, and the steady thumping got louder. And louder. And brighter. And louder. And brighter. And...

    And then, all at once, a bright red SOUL toppled out and started floating in Susie’s hand.

    Summary

    Alphys, Papyrus, Undyne, Toriel- there’s so much about you they’ve gotten all wrong. You can forget about it, most of the time, when the only day is today and you’re happy and things are good, but when they aren’t, when all you can think about is all the secrets you can never tell and all the parts of you that have to be kept secret…

    This is one thing you can set straight. One piece of a scattered puzzle you can flip over and put it where it fits.

    “I’m not telling everyone I broke the barrier,” Flowey says.

    Summary

    It is back in the box.

    They don’t know why It keeps coming out of the box. Why It can’t just stay put when they want It to, and the thought is strong enough that they stumble their next song, a messy discordant note ringing out. From here they can’t hear Noelle and Susie. Can’t hear It, either. But they are sure It is somewhere near. They locked up the kitchen vent. So It can’t get out from there. But much as they wanted to when they were little they never were small enough to crawl around in the vents to find all the secret paths, and beside Aunt Carol always pulled them out whenever they tried to wriggle through. It got harder when they lost their lookout.

    (Or: alone in the Holiday house waiting for the soul's next move, Kris reminiscences on their past, everything they have lost, and the few things they have left.)

    Summary

    In a shocking Turn of Events, Director Reeve Tuesti of Urban Development came to President Shinra with the idea for a Fight Club event where Sephiroth would be the sole and main opponent. Anyone who dared could test their luck over the next week, and a betting pool would be open to the public. The perfect rigged event to bring in more money for Shinra. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

    Right?

    SUBJECT: Regarding Senate Guard Objectives For Today

    This is a polite reminder to all guardsmen that patrol schedules for the Senate vote ratifying dictatorships are posted in the breakroom. I am also issuing a warning to linear time that days should follow sequentially and are not intended to repeat. Please cease repeating. I am getting a headache.

    Additionally, I'd like to remind all guardsmen that it is illegal to harbor invisible women in the Senate. If you see a ghost claiming to be Leia Organa, please remove her from the premises. She will be making a scene.

    Thank you for your cooperation in preserving the peace of the Republic, and all hail the Empire.

    Sephiroth awakens to a new world after a botched Mako transfusion.

    Considering the brain implant with a pernicious User Interface that is constantly offering him Missions that he can accept or deny on a whim, his new existence is actually freer than his last.
