Cloud Strife had a great plan. He was going to run away from home and join SOLDIER in the city of Midgar. That way he'd become a hero. Midgar is, by the way, is two continents away, and Cloud's a mentally ill fourteen year old with zero combat experience, life experience and no social skills. So what could possibly go wrong?

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.

In canon, Kunsel would have done anything to save Zack. This time, he gets a chance to. (Soulmate AU)

***STORY BACK ONLINE AFTER HIATUS*** Having a Plan B is a must when you hinge the world's survival on one person. When Cloud isn't born, the Planet needed a Plan B, but what if the expectations of one youth are too great? AGSZ This is my first story ever so please be kind. (Chapter 54 is up!) [Mature for language and sexual themes]

Aqua, Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Red and Aerith had escaped the hands of Shinra when they left Midgar. After the last boss battle, Aqua has fallen into an unconscious state, taken to Kalm until she recovers. When she awakens, she stumbles into her own feelings while the party plans for what lies ahead. Go after Sephiroth? Find her way back home? Or does she want to stay in Gaia?

Soulmarks are the gifts of the gods. On that, everyone agrees, even if they argue about what exactly being a "soulmate" means. Only in Nibelheim do they name the god who gifted the marks: Loki. Cloud, who has the names of four SOLDIERs written on his arms, would very much have appreciated knowing how seriously everyone else takes Loki's mischief before he got to Midgar.

"Tell me what you did for Shinra." In the years after Meteorfall, Yuffie Kisaragi plays journalist and secures an interview with an elderly former employee of the company, who's willing to talk on one condition.

Due to an accident, vampire hunter Cloud Strife became a werewolf. Not long into his new career as the vampire hunter turned werewolf, he comes across his intended mate for life. Only... it's a vampire?

When a SOLDIER is created they are infused with mako and the essence of different monsters, making them something else entirely. Making them Alphas. Alphas are created, and never born. They are powerful creatures bred by science. So what happens when the dynamics shift, and a new dynamic is found? Set during Crisis Core Era. Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics Zack/Cloud Sephiroth/Cloud

Instead of becoming a mountain guide, Tifa went over the mountain to Rocket Town and became an astronaut. After decades of exploring the stars, she returned to her home world. Gaia looked different now. It only had one occupant.

His mentor's disappearance causes Zack Fair to discover a haunting truth about the mega-corporation he works for. Will he succumb to the alien calamity that seeks to seize the planet through him? Everything hinges on his capacity to grasp the reasons of the woman who betrayed him.

The road to "happily ever after" begins with the first step—or in this case…a hop. Cloud/Tifa, First Dates-verse

Oneshots within the continuity of Seventh Circle, Ninth Sphere. Chapter 7: Cloud is sick. He wishes, for various reasons, that everyone would stop caring for him.

It was his 47th Jump when it happened. Another world different from his own, yet so similar. A place with new dangers, perhaps answers, for his uncontrollable ability within. This is where his story truly began once more, after leaving that fated cliffside all those years ago. The story of an Alternate Fate, of Beginnings, where none had traveled before him. A story, of Betrayal.

Ties in with 'Jigsaw Girl'. Slightly dark AU and crossover. Full details inside. The same night, told through a different pair of eyes. Ones that are fueled by rage, longing...and confusion. A brew that Kadaj would really rather do without. But, like usual, he doesn't get to choose. It's just a matter of making the payout worthwhile. Whether in blood, or otherwise.

What would happen if two people that feel as if they were born into the wrong universe suddenly find out that they are both part of something much bigger? Their beliefs are tested as they are given the chance to see if they are correct. The age-old question of whether the grass is really greener on the other side will be put to the test.

Yuffie has managed to catch the attention of Shinra with her actions. Rather than just letting her roam around freely hunting/stealing materia as she wishes. Though during a meeting of how to deal with her. Enter Falna who claims she has means to both capture Yuffie and as well make her work for Shinra in manner that makes her completely loyal and without need for any compensation

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.

Cloud Strife, drug dealer, gang banger, gun runner, and X-SOLDIER, is barely scraping by in the Slums. But when a failed terrorist attack pits him against a Fal'Cie Crystal, he'll find himself pitched on a mad transcontinental quest to kill a God before it kills him. [Book II in the CRISIS Triptych]

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. On this particular day, it wasn't a monster he found, but a shot-to-hell SOLDIER who wasn't quite dead. A story of building a new life, gaining new friends, and a past that isn't quite done. (multiPOV)

A general who only wants to make up for his past mistakes, a science experiment who only wants to be a hero, a bar owner who only wants to get back what Shinra took from her, a coal miner who only wants to build a better world, and a flower girl who only wants to make people happy. Individually they're nothing more then pebbles in Shinra's shoe. Together… they could be an Avalanche

Everything comes at a cost. For keeping a promise, what are you willing to pay?

Genesis' life was a lie, but it was one he lived sincerely, for as long as he could. A Character study made up of snapshots.

A spin-off to "First Dates" that answers the question: "What if Tifa picked Rufus?" Tifa/Rufus, with sides of Tseng/Elena.
