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
Zack's limit break always mimics people who end up shaping his life in one way or another. Once he's met them, he can use a break similar to one of theirs, no problem.
This time, there is a problem: He's mimicked someone with the power to blow up a solar system, and he has no idea how to control it.
He'll have to track them down, and hopefully get them to take an active role in not just teaching the limit break, but his entire life.

Summary
What Aerith meant was, we have to go after her. She wanted to know what kind of girl made a boy who fell from the clouds stop in his tracks, touch golden petals like he thought they might break, and gaze up at the sky like he was counting stars.

Summary
And Cloud does fix things. Everything he can. The last thing he fixes is his own unwilling role in anchoring Sephiroth to eternal resurrection.
Perhaps someone remembers the world that was unwritten. Perhaps some Power understands the true gravity of his thirteen years of sacrifice. Perhaps it is grateful enough to let him keep his promise and return home after the final battle...even if he is a lot smaller than they expected.

Summary
They had done it.
Cloud had put an end to the madness, striking down Sephiroth as the Planet intervened to stop Meteor. The battle was over. Now, they could return and build the lives they had fought so hard to protect. But moving forward was never going to be that simple.
As they made their way back to Midgar, trying to carve out a place in this new world, they found themselves weighed down by grief and guilt—haunted by the sins of their past. Could they truly allow themselves to be happy when so much had been lost? Aerith was gone, the Planet scarred, and the cost of their victory lingered heavy on Cloud’s mind.
But with Tifa beside him, with Barret at his side, he would try. He had to try. They all did. Because this was their way of seeking forgiveness, of proving that everything they had fought for still mattered.
But how long could they keep going before the past caught up with them?

Summary
Working a customer service job wasn't easy, but working as an undercover hero against the largest corporation known to Midgar was practically suicide. At least Tifa could make a mean macchiato. Cloud was going to need it.
OR

Summary
Ever since Angeal's betrayal, Zack has been trying to fill the gap that's left behind. Even after meeting that cute girl in the Slums and getting new priorities and dreams, he refuses to let Sephiroth down when he's needed the most. It's not easy though, and the more time passes the harder this agreement of theirs seems to get. Thankfully, that cadet he had met the other day keeps offering to ease the burden. Zack would be a fool not to at least consider it.

Summary
Maybe everything would turn out okay. Even if he fucked up here and there, maybe he could make it work and save them.
However his patience was wearing thin and he couldn't afford snapping and killing the man. Aerith and Zack would be disappointed. So he had to hold back.If only Sephiroth would get the memo and leave him alone. That obsessive bastard.

Summary
After getting dumped by Zack, Aerith is moving on with her life. Doing her own thing, enjoying the life of being single. One day, she receives a text from Tifa's friend, Cloud. And what blossoms is a friendship, then a relationship. Despite the distance, they make it work. All seems well.
Then, out of nowhere, Aerith starts receiving strange comments and DMs, a majority from people she doesn't know. Telling her she and Zack were cuter together, that Cloud doesn't suit her, saying they miss Zack.
If only that was the tip of the iceberg.

Zack startled: “Are you saying they should get laid?”
(...)
“They should get laid! And you—yes, you—will help me in the pursuit of this noble endeavor.” Quick as a snake, Genesis reached across the table and grabbed him by the collar of his turtleneck, his lips barely moving in a whisper into the shell of his ear: "I have a plan." -
