Authors note: In this story, Aerith doesn't die at the Forgotten Capital as it takes place in an alternate timeline. This timeline is the same as Final Fantasy VII, but branches off at the point where she would normally die. Cloud and his allies are delays, so don't make it to the temple before Sephiroth does, at which point he realises something; he loves the woman who possesses the white materia, and can't bring himself to kill her. Instead, he approaches Aerith while she prays, and the second she locks eyes with him, she feels the same attraction for him as well. In this alternate timeline, it isn't his Masamune that Sephiroth plunges into Aerith.
