    Summary

    When Sephiroth and his Remnants awaken in the past, before the First Class SOLDIERs started to degrade and during the Wutai War, Sephiroth decides to go about things a little differently. Using his knowledge of the future, he believes he can bring about the end of the world. His first step? Finding Cloud and securing him to his side. To do that, Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo are sent to befriend him and promise to help him get into SOLDIER. How hard can that possibility be!

    Cloud Strife can't believe the newest Firsts actually want to be friends with him! It's almost too good to be true! Maybe a little too good. Cloud can't help, but wonder: why are they so interested in him? When everyone else in Shinra seems to only see a country bumpkin with no place here. What do they know about Cloud that even Cloud doesn't know?

    Summary

    Just as Genesis came to terms with the people he lost being really gone forever and begun to move on, even started to let himself have a thing for the reclusive blond hero of this alien future, he's ripped away and thrown back into the life he half-wished a thousand times he could go back to in moments of despair and nostalgia. But now it’s oh so different because although he's gone back to the time he can never really go back to the time. He's a different person now but the people he never really stopped loving, who died or were lost and are now standing before him again exactly the same as before you lost them, don’t know that. They could never understand even if he told them. He can’t even apologize for all the ways he hurt them because it wasn’t them. All he can do now is gather all that splintered guilt and try to shape into something resembling a warped shield (he's never been an expert at that craft—a project this complex requires far more skilled hands than his scorched ones, but he's all there is) and make sure it doesn’t happen again. All he can offer any of them is this nameless haunted thing he calls love. Will he desperately try to go back to who he was or will he hope they can learn to love this new him?

    Summary

    "You are an odd man, aren't you?" Genesis says it the moment it comes to mind, then clears his throat and backtracks. "No offense meant."

    "None taken," Cloud says, and from the way he shrugs a shoulder, he quite means it. "Still. Do you know how long?"

    "No," Genesis closes his eyes and thinks. "The last year I remember…"

    He murmurs it, surprised by how unsure he is of it, then opens his eyes. Cloud's face has taken a grim light, the fire's cast leaving a halo of light behind him.

    "Genesis," Cloud says with more care than before, which already has Genesis worried. "I'm sorry. I think you've been under there for five years."

    Summary

    Cloud Strife has been through a lot. Monsters, madmen, time travel (probably). But getting yeeted into a world where soulmates are real and colors only exist once you meet them? That’s new.

    Now, he’s stuck with a dramatic red-coated SOLDIER who won’t stop quoting loveless and insists they’re bound by fate. Worse, the world is too bright, and the smug bastard has the audacity to look at him like he hung the stars. Cloud just wants to find Aerith, get answers, and maybe not deal with this soulmate nonsense

    Genesis Rhapsodos, meanwhile, has waited years for their final soulmate to appear. only for him to be a battle-worn blond who doesn’t even believe in soulmates

    Unacceptable. But Genesis is nothing if not determined. If Cloud thinks he can outrun fate, he’s got another thing coming

    (And really, how long can he stay in denial when he hasn’t even met the rest of their bond yet?)

    Summary

    In a universe before shit hit the fan, a mysterious meteorite crashed outside of Midgar. General Sephiroth and his commanders, First Classes Angeal and Genesis, were sent to help the researchers retrieve samples to study this phenomenon. Only to discover not everything was what it seemed.

    In other words, an Advent Children era Cloud was roaming the stars to crash land on different versions of Gaia to pass judgment. Whether he destroys the planet, let's it go and continues on. However, something happened this time that bound Cloud and Sephiroth together. What ever can go wrong?

    Summary

    The Kaelmira.

    Rare shapeshifters who can take on the form of a dragon with glowing eyes when in human form, either desired or feared for what they could do. In any case, most flee civilization to live on their own before their sold to the highest bidder for their abilities and magic or killed for their skin and heads.

    Genesis, Sephiroth, Angeal and Zack had seen their fair share of the treatment their kind gets as they live together in a remote cave with only a lovely lady named Ifalna and her daughter as their only contacts with the outside world, but they are happy and content with their lives as long as they're together.

    But then one night, Zack hears a scream from outside....

    Summary

    The first time it happens, it’s Cloud’s fault.

    Zack and Cloud Fair are living the American dream: beautiful house, white picket fence, a big, healthy dog, great sex—they don’t want for anything. They dated for a year and now they’ve been married for a year. People kept telling Cloud the honeymoon feeling would wear off. It hasn’t yet. Cloud feels just as sick in love as he did from the beginning.

    They’re good. They’re doing great. Which is exactly how Cloud knows it’s his fault. He’s always the one that manages to fuck a good thing up. Zack’s good luck offset Cloud’s horrid luck for some time, but it was bound to wear off.

    --

    Zack and Cloud are all there is for each other. When one starts becoming abusive and the other is already low on self-preservation, this might not be a good thing.

    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

    After moving into his new place, Sephiroth is gearing up for his first year of university. When he visits a cafe near his house, he instantly falls for the cute blonde barista behind the counter, not realizing Cloud had fallen just as hard for him.

    Flash forward a few weeks and Sephiroth finds out Cloud is also the TA for one of his classes. Looking for any excuse to talk to him, Sephiroth begins showing up to Cloud’s office hours hoping for some “help” with his assignments.

    While everyone around them can see that the two are totally into each other, both of them seem oblivious to the other's feelings. Realizing neither of them will admit their feelings, their friends decide to take matters into their own hands.

    Summary

    When Shinra announces a mandatory gala honoring Professor Hojo, Sephiroth flatly refuses attendance, disgusted by Hojo’s twisted accomplishments. Seeing an opportunity, Genesis seductively convinces Sephiroth to skip the event by plotting an elaborate diversion. Their passionate exchange leads to an explicit night of intimacy, solidifying Genesis's rebellious plan. Angeal interrupts them the following morning, openly frustrated yet understanding of Sephiroth’s motivations, though mildly irritated by Genesis’s recklessness. Despite Angeal’s warnings, Genesis remains gleefully unapologetic, anticipating the chaos they'll soon unleash upon Shinra.

    Summary

    To help Cloud get over his breakup with his cheating ex Roche, a well-meaning Aerith and Tifa sent him on a holiday to get his mind off things. The only problem is that they send him to Paris, the "city of love" where countless couples go to be cute together so everywhere Cloud looks, he's reminded that his partner was nit as faithful as he was.

    Fortunately for the poor guy, he soon meets a very handsome red-haired man on his first day in the city who will completely change his vacation and perhaps even make him forget the reason why he's in Paris in the first place

    Summary

    What happens when three people meet a gift of the goddess, whose gift was better?

    While Cloud had a busy few days he could not imagine what truly was to come out of all the help he was giving his friends. He should have said no, should have said no then maybe he wouldn't be here, worried for his life as Zack holds one of his boyfriends back from attempted murder.

    He did not think meeting his best friend's boyfriends would end this badly. He was not going to make it out alive.

    He was not even sure if he wanted too.

    Summary

    Angeal was long dead, and Genesis had been burning away before Sephiroth's eyes - no dreams remained, no honor, just madness and death, and he felt resigned to the same fate. But then there was a reactor exploding, and only an enemy's kindness kept him alive.
    For Genesis, it was a wake-up call he gleefully heeded.

    Summary

    Genesis reached down between them, shameless as ever, and Angeal caught his wrist. “Don’t rush me.”

    “You’re about to fuck me in a shower stall, Commander,” Genesis said with a gluttonous flick of his tongue against Angeal's neck. “The time for restraint died with our self-respect.”

    Summary

    “What a peculiar boy…” Sephiroth thought, not for the first time. The two SOLDIERs disappeared from view, swallowed by the crowd of uninteresting people surrounding Sephiroth. Suddenly, the young hero felt a strong urge to get closer to them— the only teens around his age. His body moved almost instinctively, drifting toward where the two boys once stood" — Or On Sephiroth's sixteenth birthday, Shinra hosts an extravagant gala—a nightmare of lights, noise, and fake smiles. Amidst the chaos, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to two young SOLDIERs.
