    Summary

    The year is UC 0093. Following his rebellion, Char Aznable has officially been declared MIA, and the people he left behind try to move on. The space colony Axis never fell to earth - but how do you measure the impact radius of one man's life?

    Or: Kamille Bidan tries to remember some things, and forget others.

    (Alternate UC history - Kamille is in CCA, ZZ is loose canon.)

    Summary

    The purpose of the Jenova project was to produce a Cetra, someone to negotiate with the Planet on Shinra's behalf. The military applications for the entity were compelling, it's true, but ultimately limited in scope- they have robots for these things, after all- and so the SOLDIER proposal was rejected, quietly shelved away. The asset is instead committed to the significantly more lucrative field of agribusiness, where it is hoped the cultural cache of his mystic heritage will assuage the rise in environmental concerns and planetological sympathies among key interested parties.

    Sephiroth, Director of Stewardship, tracks down the supplier of the only fresh flowers in Midgar he's had no hand in cultivating, oblivious to the web of time he's threatening. Oblivious to the probability he shares a name with, who longs to crush this flight of fancy and claim his rightful title of certainty, gathering like a cloud on the horizon. Oblivious to the attention he's brought to his local florist's door.

    Summary

    When the Sand Pearl cracks, the course of events changes from its destined path, teaching Cecil the painful limits of grief and forgiveness. As the newly reborn paladin walks the uncertain path that separates heroes from villains, he will learn just how far he’s willing to push himself and others in his zealous pursuit of justice.

    "Sword tight in his grip, Cecil charged forward again, more confident in the strength of his rightness. He was here to defeat Golbez and stop his evil quest for power. He had the Light to guide him, and through horror and heartache, it had led him to here — the final moment of their confrontation, where sin must answer to steel. What could be more right than his victory?"

    Summary

    Canute does whatever he can to keep Thorfinn, though it might cost him everything.

    “You want to kill me now.”

    The words steal his breath with their truth. Thorfinn looks at him, from under his filthy bangs, eyes piercing and bruised. Something in Canute’s chest flips over at that look, at how wounded he is. He’s broken. He’s been broken from the first moment they met, but now he’s lost even Askeladd to hold his pieces together.

    “But if you fight me like this, it’s not fair. You have to wait until I get stronger. Be my guard until then, and I’ll duel you, warrior to warrior.”

    Thorfinn’s gaze is unflinching. Canute reaches behind him and pulls the dagger from the folds of his fur-lined cloak. The blade is a part of Thorfinn, like the crown is a part of Canute, now. He hands it over, hilt first.

    “Or, you can kill me today. Right now, right here.”

    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.
