    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

    something felt so, so incredibly wrong, about the fact that there was currently... something, a fragment, a piece, a soul, terrifying as the implication was, something, tied to his mind, more worrying that it apparently belonged to the man who took everything from him, burned his once-home to the ground and had caused him so much pain.

    what's more worrying still was that this version, splinter, whatever it was, was so distantly detached from the cruel and downright mad nature of the one who was supposed to be real.

    that the one in his dreams was all gentle voice, weirdly analytical composure, thoughtful and contemplative and unbelievably unlike the general he had worshipped from afar, unlike the fallen angel who haunted his every step.

    the one in his dreams was all too... soft.

    and, unfortunately for him, it was even more unsettling with how aware the other was of his own softness, and was just as confused as him.

    Summary

    It takes courage to defeat a king of evil. It takes a different sort of courage altogether to find the strength to be one's own self.
