    Summary

    Cloud Strife was labeled defiant, a troublemaker, disciplinary case. But when Commander Angeal Hewley is called to punish him, he finds a different story written in bruises, missing files, and a boy too quiet for his age.

    As the Firsts uncover the truth, Cloud’s past begins to unravel, along with something deeper…
    He was never just another cadet.

    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

    This is not a love story.

    Everything that happened always come down to that: “Oka-san.” But what if it wasn't about his mother, but about the mother of his son?

    The mission in Nibelheim unfolded differently. Constant glances, a deep admiration, and dormant feelings culminated in a dirty, breathless scene between the narrow walls of a dark alley.
    And Sephiroth wasn´t supposed to come back, but he did. Again and again and again.
    Because that night had resulted in something. An immoral secret hidden from everyone, from the Village, from Shinra.
    The great hero had gotten a boy pregnant.
    And both their lives are intertwined now.
    Forever.

    Summary

    Mona Abell, a former social worker from a broken home, has resigned herself to working at the cafeteria of the largest corporation on Gaia: The Shinra Electric Power Company. Just when she becomes accustomed to the long hours, the kitchen smells and the hectic work pace, Mona is being called to the SOLDIER floor where Director Lazard, who has found her lost notebook, offers her a position in their SOLDIER recruiting programme. Allured by the chance to be close to her hero Sephiroth, Mona accepts the offer, unaware of what she has signed up for: love, heartbreak and the dark secrets of a powerful company.

    Summary

    Aerith Gainsborough has died many times in many timelines. With every kill, Jenova wears a different face and manipulates different puppets. A game of multi-dimensional chess is underway, forcing this physical manifestation of Holy to sacrifice herself in order to split timelines and move her pieces between them.

    Cloud Strife is a broken man with a tenuous grip on reality. Cut off by friends and driven by obsession, he no longer knows who he is, let alone what he's fighting for.

    Sephiroth is an experiment and will never be anything more. He isn't human, and the whispers of a creature tucked away in Nibelheim only underscore this reality. The Silver Sword does whatever he's told, and pushing him into using free will is easier said than done.

    Genesis Rhapsodos and Angeal Hewley are willing to throw everything away for him, to cut ties with Shinra in support of the man who saved their lives.

    Zack Fair is a SOLDIER First Class and a hero in the making. Steadfast and determined, he's the unstoppable force to anyone's immovable object, and maybe the key to tying everyone else together.

    This fic is (mostly) Crisis Core and Remake/Rebirth compliant. It takes place after Rebirth.

    Summary

    Cloud Strife never expected to receive personal training from ShinRa’s legendary hero, Sephiroth. As a new SOLDIER recruit, Cloud struggles to find his place among the ranks, but Sephiroth’s guidance pushes him to grow stronger—both in combat and confidence.

    However, what starts as admiration for his instructor soon deepens into something more. From the intensity of their training sessions to the surprising warmth of their late-night text exchanges, Cloud finds himself falling for the enigmatic General.

    But Sephiroth is a man of discipline, power, and mystery. Does he even notice the subtle hints of Cloud’s feelings? Or is he simply playing along, unaware of the storm brewing in his young trainee’s heart?

    As Cloud improves in his training, their bond grows stronger—but so does the tension. Can Cloud resist the pull of his growing infatuation, or will he risk it all to discover if there’s more to Sephiroth’s demeanor than meets the eye?

    *Skippable NSFW in chapter 11, NSFW-(ish) Chapter 21-23*

    Summary

    During what should have been a very simple mission, Cloud Strife and Vincent Valentine fall into a pool of mako and end up in a similar, but different dimension where small changes have saved the world from certain destruction. After being found in a hidden Hojo lab, Cloud struggles to compare what he remembers to what he is being told. Nothing makes sense! And where is Vincent!

    Summary

    Sephiroth doesn’t do press. He doesn’t do propaganda. And he certainly doesn’t do publicity.

    After six marketing specialists quit in rapid succession—some fleeing in silence, others with scorched egos—Shinra’s PR Department is out of options. Under mounting pressure from the President, they place one last bet on a wildcard: Thatcher, an enigmatic cinematographer known for filming the unfilmable—creatures so dangerous, most people never live to tell the tale.

    She’s not there to curate his legend. She’s there to see him. Frame by frame.
    And that makes her more dangerous than anything he’s faced.

    Sephiroth expects another wide-eyed media pawn. What he gets is someone who doesn’t flinch when he looks her way. Someone who keeps calm when things get real. Someone who watches him like he’s the rarest subject she’s ever studied—and the most human.

    Stranded together during a mission gone wrong, trust takes root in the cracks neither of them want to admit exist. Between hostile terrain, broken comms, and danger on all sides, the space between them only gets smaller.

    He’s spent years avoiding the lens.
    She’s the first one who makes him want to be seen.

    Summary

    Nibelheim's usual quietude is shaken up when new residents appear during a dark and gloomy autumn. Cloud Strife, the forever black sheep of the village, watches from a distance as he tries to wrestle with the complacent life he has settled for.

    For better or for worse, with nothing but a stranger's flimsy hope to guide them, Sephiroth and three kids are running away from something bigger than anyone could ever be prepared for.

    Summary

    There are many variations of Gaia. Her selves exist through decisions made by herself, her guardians, her creatures, her children…

    But one life- let’s just say she decides its his time to go. Now.

    One fatal accident involving a bathroom within a Shinra lab creates a shift unlike any other…

    AKA: What if Gaia said nope, Hojo died, and Cloud became a plumber instead of a soldier?

    Summary

    It starts with one bored text during a meeting.
    It ends with the eggplant emoji.

    And in-between: flower crowns, blurry photos, accidental sexting, and an emoji bootcamp led by Aerith.
    Sephiroth is trying to learn how to text like a normal person. Genesis is not helping.

    This is basically a plot-less romcom(?) told primarily through text messages.

    Summary

    Shinra hosts a glamorous evening to showcase its impeccable image, featuring Genesis, Sephiroth, and Angeal as central figures, designed to inspire loyalty and admiration.

    Despite the elegance and applause, everything is meticulously planned. Every look, every word, is part of a subtle game that no one dares to openly acknowledge.

    And just before the night concludes, Genesis's gaze lingers on the piano...briefly, yet long enough to suggest that there is more to unfold.

    Summary

    Cloud has always known that some people were important, and some people weren't. He'd made peace living in that latter category.
    He didn't want to be important. Heroes had epic glorious deaths. They died young and beautiful before they could be actual people with flaws that might tarnish their legacy.
    Cloud wasn't a hero.
    He was a reactor worker in a small town he could never leave.
    Leave greatness for people who cared.

    Summary

    As a general in charge of his troops, Sephiroth was under an immense amount of pressure. Cloud was no better, even as a trooper, due to his upcoming SOLDIER exam keeping him up at night.

    They were both on the verge of cracking under pressure, so as their friend, Zack believed it was his duty to help. After a quick brainstorming session—which may or may not have involved a few beers—he came up with the perfect solution: sex.

    Sadly, his friends weren’t quite ready to appreciate his genius, so Zack had to devise a secret plan to get them to do what they needed.

    His plan was perfect; fool proof. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

    Summary

    The Planet has figured out a way to live forever. Cloud is not amused. After so many loops even the Hero gives up and is willing to take any suggestions, then none at all. Cloud is just tired and needs a vacation before he loses his mind. Or, possibly, because he already has. Time to pick up some hobbies and answer some troubling questions such as: where DO bodies go and, since they disappear so quickly, how in the world does anyone ever get anything to eat anyway!?!

    Anything to distract himself from the main problem. Who is, as usual, Sephiroth. But not for the usual reasons...
