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
Cadet Cloud Strife wants one thing—to become a SOLDIER. Not for glory, but to prove he’s worth something in a world that’s tried to break him more than once.
But between a buried past, and the weight of trauma, Cloud’s dream feels further away than ever. What he doesn’t expect is the attention of Shinra’s most powerful SOLDIERs—or the complicated bond that forms when mentorship turns into something far deeper.
They see his potential. They see him. And Cloud will fight tooth and nail to earn his place—even if it means tearing himself apart to do it.

Summary
It's been weeks since Zack wrote the not-so stupid article that managed to change Sephiroth's life as ShinRa's Prized General forever. No longer did people view him as a hollow celebrity, enigmatic and untouchable, but rather a respectable human being with a heart and soul.
So why complain about some trivial mission to fix a Mako Reactor when he'd never been happier in his life?

Summary
Prior to joining Shinra, if someone asked Cloud to describe his hero Sephiroth he would’ve said 'inspiring'. After meeting him, Cloud would add the word 'dangerous'. When Cloud became Sephiroth's student, he could only say Sephiroth is 'impossible to please'.
While Cloud struggles to meet the high standard set for him, Sephiroth seems to have greater plans for Cloud than he could ever guess.
Why does Sephiroth look for scars Cloud does not have? Why does the general seem to be reciting a script only he knows the words to?
Cloud isn't sure if he'll survive being Sephiroth’s student long enough to find out. -

Summary
While most boys wouldn’t give it a second thought, the first thing Cloud notices is not the girl wearing the dress, but the dress itself. It’s not like he hasn’t seen Tifa in dresses before. She’s always pretty in every thing she wears, but something about this one... it’s different.
Cloud has known he's always different. He has this lingering kind of pull. An itch in his fingers when he sees the delicate fabrics the older women wear during Sunday mass. He likes to think he's a normal boy... but maybe he isn't. Maybe he's something else, something more feminine.

Summary
He looks at the clock again, two minutes over. He turns and walks the other way, at least pretending to patrol the floor. No one ever comes through here, at least not on Thursday afternoons. Something he’s been taking advantage of for the past six weeks.

good morning, general by voighterax

Summary
Some would say that Cloud Strife is the nicest trooper in the entire department — no, in all of Shinra. He’s the type to greet everyone with a cheerful “good morning,” even when he’s bone-deep exhausted, and his warm smile has the power to make everyone’s day a little less maddening.
Little does he know that his adorable little smile has a ripple effect: because of him, the General’s day shines brighter than the glint of Masamune in daylight. And when Sephiroth’s day is brightened, it turns everyone’s lives a little better, too. After all, a bad day for the General means a bad day for all of Shinra’s employees.

Summary
Cloud is rejected from the SOLDIER program. Dejected, he joins the infantry, since returning to Nibelheim isn’t an option. The feeling of failure weighs heavily on him, especially as he watches his idol from afar.
He wanted to fight by Sephiroth’s side so badly, but now it seems an unattainable dream. So Cloud thinks.
Then he finds himself alone with Sephiroth, and that small encounter changes everything.

Summary
Cloud knew what his purpose was, what he was signing up for. He saw himself in the mirror— the black-blue bruises and indentations of teeth deep in his flesh. No attempts of healing could ever smooth his body, not with Sephiroth marking him, owning him.
Still, there was this boyish fantasy inside him that kept telling him that it's okay, it's love.
On the verge of leaving Shinra for being the lowest in the ranks, Cadet Cloud Strife caught the attention of the General who had just returned from finishing a war. What do generals do to pretty young boys after a war?

Summary
Zack hardly even remembered how he got the idea to enchant the pasta—that's how eager he'd been to act upon it once the idea did strike him. Something, something eating dinner at Spike's house then seeing a box of noodles on the counter and then realizing he had a mastered Sleep on him and then remembering some obscure lesson when he was only a ShinRa cadet of the dangers of mixing materia and inanimate objects.

Aka, an AU in which some laced seafood noodles and some motherly manipulation saves the day!

Summary
"It's the damnedest thing, but I don't recall seeing the three of you at practice." Boots tap on the floor. "Am I to assume that you simply... forgot?"
"Sorry, sir!"
The response is immediate, and—
and his voice sounds younger. His head is stuffed with cotton. The tone the military officer uses is familiar in its domineering condescension. Cloud is suddenly very, very small, and he is a face in a crowd of many and he is not special and he will never be because this is where you learn you are anything but. He thinks the infantry beside him parrot his apology, but it's a beat or two late.

Or: Cloud, Upper Junon, and what being back in the infantry means to him.

Summary
snowbanshee asked:
Sephiroth was looking forward to the Tower being empty as everyone left to be with their families. Some peace and quiet! He sits down on a stylish chair in the Sky view hall and looks at the distance, at the million lights of Midgar homes. But what's this overwhelming sadness in his heart? He told himself he cannot wait for everyone to leave, he refused every invitation, he told everyone he's fine. So now what?

Summary
Cloud finds himself in an abandoned Shinra science basement and things happen.
---------"Should I call the General down here? He told me to handle it, but if you really want...."
"NO! No, that won't be necessary. Strife, you may take your things and report to the barracks. There must have been some miscommunication."
"Uh-huh," said Zack. "Miscommunication. Cool. I'll walk him down then."
Cloud and Zack made it all the way down the hallway and into the stairwell before Zack broke.
"So, Spike, what REALLY happened?"
