Cloud did join Shinra, but he just did his tour and got out. Once discharged, he moved under the plate, earning gil by doing odd jobs and monster hunting in the wastes around Midgar.

In a last-ditch effort to save the planet, Cloud is hurled into another dimension. One where the link between him and god-complex Sephiroth will be broken. The only problem is, his cross-dimensional counterpart is the soulmate of the four strongest SOLDIERs in Midgar, that dimension's Sephiroth included. Their *dead* soulmate. And they'll stop at nothing to find him.

In a world where people with wings exist, they are shunned from the world. Humanity looks down at these unique people as monsters, and think that it's better if the winged people were locked up. One day at the facility, where the winged kind are prisoners, a young blond boy is brought in to join them. But he has a wing different from the rest, a more demon-like wing than angelic.

Six months after the last monster attack, Edge is finally back on its feet. Cloud just wants to keep his family safe, and he's washed his hands of everyone else's problems with Jenova. Unfortunately, high school is a hotbed of teens with anger issues and powers they can't control. Meanwhile, Cloud's worsening nightmares are testing his sanity. Sequel to Breath of Fire.

Summon Materia is based on legends and real creatures. The real ones are out in the world freely, like chocobos and moogles. Even the gods themselves, but they are far more hidden. Though for Cloud, he just happens to know one of them rather personally. Why, you may ask? Turns out that Odin just happens to be his dad.

Zack Fair, and his comrade Cloud had escaped Professor Hojo's secret laboratory in Nibelheim. After many months, they are just days away to Midgar.

Shortly after being ambushed outside of Midgar, Zack and Cloud were separated: Zack remained under Turk care, while Cloud - confused from mako poisoning - went missing somewhere on the streets of Midgar. Now Zack has to find Cloud before Shinra or Hojo can, and Cloud has to keep his promise to Tifa... no matter what it takes.

That fateful battle in the wastes dealt Zack Fair a cruel hand: He barely survives, albeit with permanent injury. Taking advantage of Zack's K.I.A status, Tseng secretly enlists his aid to help free Aerith and Cloud from Shinra's all-encompassing shadow. Zack must use his new identity to protect his friends, all the while they remain ignorant of his survival. AU

Time passes, and people rebuild in the ruins of what they used to have, filling the voids they can and glossing over the pain of the ones they can't. But a Planet can't do that. This is what it does instead. (Time travel fix-it fic)

Zack never survived the Nibel Reactor and therefore couldn't rescue Cloud from Hojo's clutches. From this single point of divergence, the story unfolds.

Another time travel fic. Cloud is sent back in time, all the way to Nibelheim, mako-less and 8 years old with all his adult memories. Relationships can change, for better or worse, including the one Cloud has with Sephiroth. Old friends and new ones will make an appearance, as well as Creepy Hojo.

Although they both care deeply for one another, it has always been difficult for Cloud and Tifa to open up to each other about how they feel. This story explores the challenges of communication as well as the efforts they put forth to overcome such obstacles. Perhaps when they break down their barriers, they'll finally find what they're seeking.

There were many things that went wrong the moment he accepted that yellow lily. One was the way his already-messed up schedule got even messier, and another was how he absolutely had no control over his life anymore, but the worst part of it all was that Cloud was supposed to help Zack get the girl, not fall in love with her. Alas, the bro-code never seemed so fragile before.

They say that merfolk exist, but most believe it to be just a legend. But for those who do believe, they give a word of warning. Beware of the merfolk if you do encounter one, for if you are kissed by one, you will never be heard from again. For Cloud it began the day he wandered a little farther than usual along the shoreline. All seemed normal until he heard a voice.

What counts as a nightmare? Is it a figure of speech, or an abject horror from the past? Some nightmares are horrifying things, echoes and remnants of things from the past, or shuddering portents of things that could be. Others, well... others are just a little embarrassing. A nightmare is also a figure of speech, after all. Ficlets inspired by "Telling Time with a Broken Watch".

By necessity, Cloud made himself the most important thing in existence to Sephiroth. So of course, Sephiroth was compelled to bring Cloud along when he turned back the hands of time.

Cloud looked into her eyes, the intensity in the green hues startling him. Aerith stared back at him, as if searching for something. Then, seemingly content, she smiled. She grabbed his hand, never breaking eye contact, and covered it with her own. "The Planet is very fond of you, Cloud." He gulped. What does that mean?

"Go take a swan dive off the roof and hope for a better quirk in your next life." Izuku feels those familiar chains wrap around him, taking his free will. He starts to walk out of the classroom, past Katsuki and his gang. He feels the tears he was holding back fall from his eyes and down his face.

Watch Sephiroth walk out on the dark destiny of his birth to fall for one little blonde who wants nothing more than to destroy the destiny he's been given.

Denzel ask Cloud how he can be more like him, Cloud wants him to be anything but.

Sephiroth never would've thought that the one woman that had caught all of his attention would return his feelings. But he never could've imagined that his own brother Cloud would also fall in love with her. What was he supposed to do to avoid losing both of them besides sharing with his brother the only person that made him feel alive? (Sephiroth x Tifa x Cloud)

As the war with Wutai abate, a group with enhanced men grow in its heart. AVALANCHE is already harassing SHinRa, allowing the newcomers to grow and casualties to rise. ShinRa said all was in control. Zack, trusting, never thought Cloud would go down. But it happened. Years later Zack has to face reality anew, Cloud isn't so down. AU ASGZC

Cloud would have liked to say it was the sword or the eyes, but really, it was the hair. No one had hair like that except his mom, himself, and, well, this guy. So naturally he had to follow him. The trouble didn't start till after that, though.

After being driven out of his town for being half demon, Cloud is found by members of SOLDIER and taken back to Midgar. There he finds some unexpected family. AU, Slash, mentions of abuse. Genesis/Sephiroth, Cloud/?

Six years old Cloud Strife was only minding his own business, but randomly getting an older brother was kind of awesome. Even if he now lived inside his head and claimed his name was Cloud Strife too. Time-travel with a twist, slow-building SephirothxAC!Cloud.

Cloud tries to go back in time to save Aerith. Something goes wrong.

The world seems black and white at a glance, but the truth is never so easy. Where one draws the line between human and monster is a lot less clear when motive and deed don't match, and a change in form is only proof of something that has been there all along. (Angel's Wings rewrite, Crisis Core fix-it.)

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Insanity is asking the same question over and over again in hopes that someday you'll get the answer you want. Insanity is what Sephiroth does best. [In which Cloud decides he should Have Words with Sephiroth before the latter dies and it somehow becomes their new routine.] Gen; mild gore.

AU! Cadet Cloud Strife has caught the attention of 2nd Class Zack Fair, and is subsequently dragged into a weekend of escapades. A friendship is formed in the face of pranks, horror, and training.

Zack will do anything, to piece Cloud back together. [Clack/AU]

Waking up can be hard to get used to, especially when you're reliving your past, and that past never happened in the first place. Adopted from HazzaTL3.

For once, Cloud has his life sorted out. Going from delivery boy to travelling healer in the post-Meteor world, he finally has peace. When Denzel travels back through time, he has to leave it all behind to help his son in the world he thought he escaped. But taking Hojo's job? That was an accident. Mostly.

Day 4

Summary: Drabbles folder about the life and times of Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart. Usually Cloud is the jealous one in the relationship, but what happens when Tifa is feeling the same? Heh, the various chapters explore their relationship, as well as those of his unusual family. Much humor, some wisdom, a little angst and a lot of chuckles.

Supernatural AU FFVII. What if Hojo's experiments were darker-more sinister. What if monsters were indeed created? What if Cloud had been one of them? After years of isolation, what will happen when he and Tifa cross paths again. What secrets will be revealed? And is anyone truly what they seem to be? (Spun and expanded on from a ficlet I wrote years ago)

Finally posting the ficlets in the FFVII and Green Dreams worlds that were originally written on Tumblr. No knowledge of Green Dreams is required to enjoy, though most drabbles are based on the idea that Cloud has time traveled!

Everyone knows that Jenova is dead; a lump of cells that a rather batshit crazy Sephiroth manipulated from the Lifestream - to corrupt all life on Gaia that is. Only this time, this time it's Cloud doing the manipulating. This time it's evolution by design. Time Travel. Jenova!Cloud. Drabble.

"Cloud tried not to dwell on dreams or the lifestream. He tried to keep moving. He'd turned over a new leaf—a new life. He wasn't going to get sucked into the mire of the past anymore, or lose himself in sadness for ghosts. That didn't stop the nightmares from coming." Dead Seasons Universe. TW for violence, nightmares, reality-bending, and trauma. Cover art by Tomowowowo

What if Zack survived the ShinRa army? What if an amnesic young woman, who has a deep history with ShinRa, joins Avalanche? See how the events of FF7 would roll out if these two events actually occured. Will Aeris still love Zack? Will Cloud regain his true memories? Will the young woman stay loyal to Avalanche, or turn her back on them to find out who she is?

A small portion of the population are Gifted and able to do things that are superhuman. No one knows how a person becomes a Gifted or even where they come from only that there are organizations in the world that compete to control them. Cloud has stayed away from these conflicts until he is sent on a delivery that tosses him into the middle of every situation he avoided Omegaverse

The chains of fate shattered at Zack Fair's feet when he survived that day in the wastelands. For two thousand years, Gaia was tethered to the circle of destruction and hate, but now... now they all must watch and wait. This is the beginning. multiship

A little fun with AU's. What if Sephiroth had found Vincent on that first trip to Nibelheim? General Sephiroth, SOLDIER 1st Class Zack, and a new recruit named Cloud visit a remote mountain community. A local legend prompts a ghost hunt with spectres that are anything but imaginary. Cast so far: Aeris, Cloud, Elfe, Hojo, Lucrecia, Sephiroth, Tifa, Veld, Vincent, Zack

Sephiroth should have known better than to investigate too deep into dark depths of the Science Department labs. When he finds another human kept there, he knows he cannot abandon the young blond infantryman to be used as Hojo's experiment - but a decision like that has its consequences.

Three days after Sephiroth's defeat, Cloud disappears, leaving Tifa heartbroken and alone. Summoning her strength, she searches the world for him. Why did he leave? Where has he gone? And who are these new beings that keep showing up with seemingly unstoppable power?

When a last minute trip to the labs gives Cloud some trouble, it is up to Sephiroth to protect him from Hojo. Kitty Cloud!

After the events of Advent Children, the remnants revive and are instantly found, captured, and imprisoned by the Turks. Cloud is called in to keep an eye on the goings on, both as a favor to the newly-born WRO and to relieve his own fears. But what he finds in the Turk's prison will irrevocably change him. [Unfinished]

Zack and Cloud both survive and finally manage to make it to Midgar. However, they soon find themselves pulled into another battle against Shin-Ra as they join forces with old and new friends. Will they be able to stop Shin-Ra? Or will a more sinister foe emerge from the ashes of the past and give them more problems? Pairings: Cloud/Tifa and Zack/Aerith.

Sequel to "Reduced to Specimens." With an empty memory and a critically-injured Zack in tow, Cloud sets off in search of aid, and answers.

When Cloud dubiously signed up for Reeve and Cid to throw him back in time in the hopes of saving them all an absurd amount of trouble, he really didn't expect this. Time Travel Fic.

Cloud begins life as a new cadet at the Shinra SOLDIER Academy. Prequel to 'Reduced to Specimens.' More info inside.

Cloud summons Leviathan, and the critter refuses to go away. The only solution may be to go back in time, so Cloud is understandably concerned. It's like they always say: Be careful what you wish for!

After the death of his mentor, Zack's hinges get busted and he turns into a killing machine. From there, it's a one way trip to insanity and blood-lust. However, can a certain blond-haired cadet be what it takes to pull the SOLDIER out of his murderous rut and set him straight again? Rated T, Half-cannon/Half-Au. If you squint you can see hints of Zakkura/Clack.

It's the story of Sephiroth's life, at least according to Hojo-he's always been far too attached to his toys... One-shot.

One rainy day, Cloud Strife shows up on Tifa's doorstep, wounded and unconscious. Tifa takes him in, but little does she know that this will turn her whole world upside down. Some things are not what they seem, and Cloud is not who they think he is. While Cloud tries to find out more about his mysterious past, he has to face many challenges in his new life, love being one of them..

Married life meant a new house, a new life, but who would expect it to be occupied?

Sequel to Nexus. After the events of Nexus, what will happen now that everything has settled? Has it really settled? What will happen now that a new threat rises and the broken team is forced to face their new nemesis while dealing with their own personal problems? AR, some OOC, various pairings, death, dark themes, talk of suicide, angst, adventure, psuedo-science.

Cloud's first thought on waking in the Shinra training grounds..."Where's the hidden camera?". What is one supposed to do when they find themselves inexplicably in the past? Become a terrorist four years early, of course. And look up a few old friends.

[COMPLETE: now with "bonus" chapter (28).] All things must die, even planets. A great evil was defeated, but not destroyed. Now, a new threat has arisen. Chapter 27: Reij cements a new position; Tara prepares for a new journey; things change dramatically for Tifa and Cloud's relationship; a shadow lurks in the WRO Tower.

Time-traveling-Cloud doesn't exactly know he's in the past and Cloud-from-the-past doesn't know why he's remembering things that haven't happened. Yet.

Cloud has suffered and asked for forgiveness, but Aeris knows she alone cannot give him it. He must find that forgiveness and peace where it began, back at SOLDIER. SephirothxCloud PERMANENT HIATUS! Thank you to all my readers for your endless support!

A Mutant, A Monster, A Failure. Cloud, tortured by nightmares, experiments and Sephiroth and driven to the edge of madness, his only way of coping is in the arms of his best friend.

Cloud is sick and dying, Reno's ordered to return him Nibelheim in the hopes that his body contains the secrets to a cure for the Stigma. Originally a PWP, now not. RenoXCloud. Smutty.

All Zack wanted to do was see some Chocobo with Kunsel, to see if maybe they liked him now. All Angeal wanted to do was keep Zack and the paperwork in line. All Sephiroth wanted to do was murder the Chocobo to solve everything. Cloud just wanted help... Nobody knows what Genesis actually wanted. Completely crack with some swearing. All I want is for you guys to giggle and laugh.

When two complete strangers mee life becomes complicated for a sixteen year old Cloud. Yaoi. Lemon. COMPLETED!

This story began as a Role-Play many years ago based on one premise: What would have happened to Cloud Strife and the rest of the story if Zack Fair had not rescued him from Hojo's greasy hands? Here is an intriguing take on that idea. - warning however, there are descriptive medical scenes. also eventual Mpreg

(AU) Something that has been sleeping deep inside Cloud has finally re-awakened, and Cloud is fighting to keep control. With the rest of Avalanche wondering why Cloud is being so strange, a lone man from Cloud's past returns, not only to protect him, but to complete a mission. As Gaia carefully watches for a new foe, other hells are breaking loose while the pawns are in play.

Twelve year old, Cloud Strife, is bitten by a vampire when his curiosity leads him astray. Cloud must face the vampire world and find his soulmate(s) before he is hunted. After all, who would want to be experimented on by Hojo? ASGZC (no underage, Cloud will be older before anything too intimate happens;overall, nothing too graphic, this is rated Teen after all.)

Life continues even after the story ends. For some it means back to the old life. For others, a chance to start over, again. These are lighthearted chapters based around Seventh Heaven because Gaia knows Cloud deserves a break and Tifa needs a love life.

Fighting my demons does not make me a monster... but what if becoming a demon is the only way to defeat them? Alternate ending to Hojo's lab. On hiatus.

Cloud's memories are leaving him, and fast. Cloud's last days in Hojo's care before Zack loses him to mako poisoning. A companion piece to Stitches. The original Losing Cohesion written in 2015

How ACC would've changed if Cloud's geostigma was never cured. Typical Sephiroth dialogue, mentions dark themes. Might become a sephclou yoai.

After waking from his mako addiction, Cloud finds his best friend, Zack Fair, severely injured. They both arrive to the hospital and receive care, the inexperienced younger one wondering if he truly did the right thing by calling for help. (Happier ending to Crisis Core. Can be interpreted as either fluff or bromance. Has Aerith X Zack in it.)

A world devoid of heroes is a world damned. What if neither Zack nor Cloud survived? A friendship fic – no yaoi. Rated T for character death. Could definitely be expanded, but for now, just a one-shot.

Hojo has always destroyed what Sephiroth loves most, be it a thing or a person. Sephiroth should have hidden his love for Cloud more carefully. Pairing: Sephiroth/Cloud. WARNINGS: character death -multiple times-, blood and gore, torture, trauma, suicide attempts, medical experimentation, major angst. Almost all warnings apply in first chapter. [Discontinued. Incomplete.]

Brief one-shot of Zack and Cloud's imprisonment in Hojo's lab.

Cloud's stuck where he is and needs someone to blame. But when his anger lets out, he begins to regret it. Based in Hojo's lab. Short, far from sweet, and rated T almost solely for the dark setting. No yaoi.

Post-original game, pre-Advent Children. Cloud Strife was once a hero. How did he fall so far, to become ruled by guilt and depression, and a slave to the past? After a life of repeated failures... he would be doomed to fail again, wouldn't he?

Halloween was the worst thing to happen to Cloud, and Zack wasn't helping any either. But even a lowly cadet with an agenda can find a way to make the evening worthwhile...and payback Zack while he is at it.

The Planet isn't willing to let death take away its greatest weapon. If Cloud can't save the past, then he'll be damned to watch history repeat itself. Time travel, SxC, ZxA.

Cloud is sent back in time, and now he wants to change things. But with an apprentice Turk, Three First Class SOLDIERS, and an old friend on his tail, will he succeed? Third person, but not all chapters are from Cloud's POV. Chapter 20 explains the time travel, if that's all you're here for. This goes places even I wasn't expecting.

An altered flight path causes the Turks to find Zack and Cloud before the army does, but don't think things'll be perfect just because Zack's still alive. The Turks have their own problems to contend with, and let's not forget about Sephiroth and Deepground. Runs from the end of CC to where AC would have ended. Pairings mostly canon. Everything changed when Reno sneezed...

Two years after DoC, Cloud discovers that Sephiroth is back... but apparently without any memories. Jenova comes in and threatens Cloud not to fight, even though she suggests something big is coming... What is Cloud going to do?

FF7 AU. One girl had one wish. A SOLDIER has one dream. The Turks have a seemingly impossible mission. A story that explores that happens when one small change sends shock-waves through a well loved story. Rated T for now, may become M later.

A mako-hunting mission should be a simple task - all in a day's work for a SOLDIER. But when the ones who are supposed to be the strongest around are rendered helpless, who will be left to protect them? As Cloud Strife will soon learn, it isn't always born greatness or inhuman strength that makes a hero. Sometimes all it takes is being in the right place at the right time.

"Forget." The simple command caused my mind to become blank and clouded, my body became relaxed in his grip as his hands slid up to hold my cheeks. I saw him coming closer but had no reason to move away even if my gut screamed to move, to get away from him as fast as I could. Cloud P.O.V, Main Sephiroth/Cloud.

Six years after Meteor the world is still broken, plagued by mako addiction and memories of the past.

Time Travel AU. Second chances, Redemption, and a Gamble of faith. They've done the impossible before, this time it's all or nothing, and they plan on 'all'. Warning: Story will go into Psychological issues, violence, mild cursing and ocasional pseudo-science and mysticism.

You'd think that after centuries of living and finally becoming insane, Cloud would know exactly what to do after being flung to a near happy alternate universe. Finding a way to kill himself was a rather 'out-there' decision, but picking his own counterpart to do the deed would prove to be a bit too rash, even for this unhinged blonde. AU, AR.

Yuffie plus Materia equals trouble! What'd did she do to Cloud? Major Cloti, mild cussing, mild violence, EXTREME fluff, slight OOC. lol plz read! the story is alot better than the summary!

Now she stays waiting in Edge-City while having to raise Denzel, Marlene, and their six-year-old son Solas, as she waits for him with an never-ending smile on her face. *Chapters I-VII re-edited and now complete*

It wasn't exactly a scene from a fairy tale. It wasn't original or clever or even remotely romantic. But as Cloud dropped the ring into her hand, his eyes asking the question she had always dreamed of, Tifa knew there was only one possible answer… "No."

In a world where Materia is but a mere memory, the Planet demands an ancient war hero be brought back to neutralise an ancient war threat. Cloud has always been condoning of the Planet's wiles. Not quite so anymore, now that Sephiroth is in the picture.

After Meteor fails, Sephiroth attempts to eliminate ShinRa, AVALANCHE, and all others that stand in his way, enlisting an "old friend" to aid him in his battle. See inside for full summary and rating description.

What if the bullets hadn't littered his body? What if when the sun began to shine it was on smiles and not frowns? What if he didn't die? What if...he lived?
