    Summary

    Jenova's death poisoned Gaia from the inside, and she withered away. Gaia rewinds time and starts over, again and again and again. Failure after failure leaves the planet desperate.

    If the Hero remembers, so too does the Son of the Calamity. The stronger she makes her Hero, the stronger Jenova makes her Son.

    To make a change that mattered, Gaia had to keep it small. Thirteen changes across eons cascade into differences significant enough to hopefully save the planet.

    Cloud is reborn into a different world, a different Nibelheim. Joining a Shinra like never before with his two military working dogs, he's fast tracked into Public Security Forces. SOLDIER not even a consideration and out of reach for Cloud.

    He makes new friends, different enemies, and attracts the unwanted attention of a silver-haired general all the while feeling as if the entire world is weighing on his shoulders though he doesn't know why.

    Or: The planet makes a few changes. Cloud remembers nothing but feels an odd overwhelming sense of doom. He has two new dog companions to help him navigate his new life that seem to cause more shenanigans than actually help. And Sephiroth has a curious hobby of cloud watching.

    Summary

    Cloud's ma was wrong. He wasn't obsessed with Sephiroth. He didn't have a crush (ew). Sephiroth was just objectively the coolest kid in town - and yeah, he never left that weird old manor, and his dad was a greasy rat, and he had a propensity for staring at Cloud like he could make lasers come out of his eyes. But that was all part of the Sephiroth experience! It was fine! Cloud would be fine.

    Thanks to a wish granted by the lifestream, Cloud is born in 1984, two years earlier than he should be. Sephiroth is being raised in secret within the walls of Shinra Manor by Hojo and a handful of Shrina employees, and Cloud (age eleven) is a willful magnet for trouble.

    Summary

    At Genesis’s urgent request, Angeal, Ph.D., R.Psych, accepts his last clients of the day, a couple going through what Genesis described as ‘a Significant problem’. With a capital S.

    Sephiroth is nice enough, polite, well-mannered, and Cloud is… present. Angeal however, is a professional. He’ll listen to whatever the two throw at him, from grocery shopping disputes, to planetology, to sword fights, cults, and for some reason, overpriced candles. Even if it doesn’t make sense. Even if none of it makes sense.

    Aka: A millenia later in the re-modernized future, Cloud and Sephiroth get into a fight … and get shipped off to couples therapy. The session doesn’t help, though it does give Angeal an existential crisis.
