"It's like that poet said," drawled Cid. "If you want to build an airship, don't gather people and give 'em the necessary materials. Make 'em dream of the sky instead. Make them yearn for it." A daughter of the earth befriends a son of the sky. Or, the story of Aerith and Cid's friendship, from its tumultous beginning to its tragic end.

The alternate timeline continues, based on Dirge of Cerberus and two original stories. Kalm is suddenly attacked during a festive celebration, leaving Vincent to pursue the mysterious Deepground. But this time, Lucrecia joins him on his quest. Meanwhile, a sailing endeavor goes horribly wrong, as does a mother-daughter trip to Eros Nova. Rated M for violence, nudity, and profanity.

What if Advent Children starred Zack instead of Cloud? It's mayhem in the alternate timeline! Sephiroth must be caught, and Tifa attempts to land a job nobody had expected her to even consider. Later chapters are based on Advent Children, only starring Zack instead! Zack x Yuffie, Cloud x Tifa, Tobin x Cissnei. Rated M for violence, profanity, and nudity.

An A.U. continuation of my original FF7 story 'Courage to Change the Things You Can.' Splits from the original continuation just after the Forgotten City. Aeris and Christian end up on earth, in 1992, as teenagers. See author's note before Episode One for more details. Self-insert; Main Pairing Aeris/OC. Later pairings: Cloud/Tifa, Vincent/Yuffie, eventual Sephiroth/OC2.

Lessons learned from ages past inevitably fade into the fog of forgotten history, and now the President of Shinra stokes the flames of war once more in his search for the Promised Land. Amidst the rising tensions, a Human boy and half-Cetra girl meet, grow up, and struggle to prevent the Planet from being engulfed yet again by war.

Together, they had one perfect night. It might have been their last. But it was not. Instead, they would continue living. Together, but imperfectly. A series of stories taking place post-Meteor, in the period before, during, and after Advent Children.

Cloud lost his soulmate on that fateful day. Tasked with returning to the place of her eternal slumber, Cloud finds out more than he ever wanted to know and walks away with the knowledge that he lost far more than ever imagined. Will he return to their church and await his well earned rest or will he summon the last of his resolve and keep going. For her... For them.

Even though the team has escaped Midgar, they're now on the run from Shinra, the Turks, and their pasts ... but unfortunately, the past has a way of catching up to them. Chasing Shadows is a sequel to Halcyon Days, so it is strongly recommended you read Halcyon Days first if you haven't already.

AU drabble folder over how Cloud met Tifa... #1: The Cell. #2: The Stranger. #3: The Patient. #4: Transference. Cloud is ripped from his world right into the battle between two sisters and several behemoths. And though he saves them, he is still taken to their kingdom in chains. He is male, and in this world men are not allowed to use weapons. The penalty for this crime is death...

A growing collection of stories filling prompts and requests. I'm totally open for more prompts even if it might take a little bit!

Rebirth spoilers. Begins with the journey to the North Crater. Tifa-centric, focused on her grief and attempts to hold the team together as Cloud's sanity and the team's trust in Cloud unravels.

While the party is staying at the Gold Saucer, Tifa takes Aerith aside to talk about what Cloud told her about Zack and the two discuss what it means for Cloud and themselves.

It's been five years since Meteorfall, and yet the planet still edges toward the verge of destruction. The Lifestream wails as an infection courses within it, and Cloud is forced to answer the call once more as he's guided by a voice that he thought had been silenced forever.

The life of a private investigator is never an easy one, especially after an over involved job that almost gets you killed more than twice & you end up trying to explain the whole thing to your buddies & ex-boss. Fun times. (An homage to my favorite noir movie & the title’s in reference to the book) I had to cast Reno as a noir, hard boiled detective - he has the sass & smart ass.

Cloud comes home from a long day of deliveries only to have Tifa waiting for him with a special surprise that will test every boundary of his strength and control. OR Three Tifas are better than one?

After being separated from her team, Tifa finds herself saved by an exile wanted by Shinra. An exile who is full of surprises. (Sexual Content) (Not Suitable For Children)

"Tell you what, Mr. "I'll die trying"," She began. Reno felt that comfort washing over him. "I'll make you a deal. If you can get your little plan to succeed then I'll find a way to come and visit. But only for a little while." Reno bit his lip to stop from grinning. Like he needed more incentive to meddle in Elena and Tseng's personal lives.

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)

The Turk Spawn are juniors in high school. Read as they prepare for their futures, deal with ignorant peers and younger siblings, discover first loves, all while being children of Turks or the President. Rated M for swearing and violence.

When Shinra's computer system was hacked from one of the most secure offices in its headquarters, an investigation was immediate. A blond lab assistant makes waves and the Wutai War escalates. Meanwhile, a time traveler sent back to stop Meteor finds himself in a time both familiar and foreign. The past is shifting under his feet and careening into an uncertain future. Light S/C

"Whatever you're afraid of, whatever you think might happen, you have to remember—nothing is certain anymore. The future is unwritten." (Cloud x Aerith)

Cloud est un lycéen dépressif et reclus vivant dans l'ombre de ses camarades d'école. Lors de sa rentrée en première, sa vie se retrouve chamboulée par la présence de Zack, son crush de toujours, qui s'avère être dans la même classe que lui... ZxC

Their entire world is in danger, but Cloud and Tifa don't know that their love is the key to saving it. They also don't know that they are both going to be put through the ultimate test. Canon-Divergent AU, starts in Gongaga in Rebirth.

Reno takes a rest beside the flowers while he waits for Aerith to arrive. He had a rough night - oh, and it just happens to be Valentine’s Day. This is just a little short one I wrote for rare pair week - I don’t know how the two came together, but I found them together and I like it -though for the record, whenever I ship these two I consider it AU as I can’t rain on Zack’s parade

With Midgar now behind them, Cloud and his friends set out on the long, dangerous hunt for Sephiroth, unaware that he plans to use one of their own to change his fated destiny. Pursued by Shinra's forces, Cloud and the others press onward. But the price of victory may be higher than they can possibly imagine. The story continues in the third installment of the Lifestream series!
