"This is not him. This is Genesis possessing him. I know my boss." Tseng got handcuffs, of course Rufus tried to fight, but there were three against one, and Turks knew their job. In a short time his both hands were locked to the chair armrests. "Rufus was never fragile. He survived the stigma, he will beat this too."

“I always leave it too late, but I should have told you sooner.” He muttered, pressing her hand closer to his face. “Told me what?” Aerith's voice was barely a whisper. “How much you mean to me. That I love you.” Her breath left her at his words, her verdant eyes wide as she met his gaze. “I'll do it earlier next time.” “Next time?” “Yeah,” he offered her a grim smile. “Next time.”

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 and careening into an uncertain future. Light S/C A/G

Cloud hadn't been sure that Genesis was totally better, but he'd flung an arm around him on the fifth afternoon with hair still wet from his shower dripping down Cloud's neck as he pressed a completely unexpected kiss to his cheek. "Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds, promise me when we get back to Midgar that you'll grace me with your presence?" Strifesodos Week 2024

Chapters 14-16 uploaded! Western AU (?). Aerith Gast has arrived in the frontier town Edge to stay with Elmyra Gainsborough after the death of her beau, Zack Fair. At the same time, the legendary General, Sephiroth, is also arriving, to recuperate from a mental breakdown he doesn't remember that happened when Zack died. Their paths will cross and the past will not stay in the past.

New chapter posted. I don’t even know what I’m doing with this anymore, but I got to get it out. Also, a lot of this story is going to be non-canon, swished around with a bit of canon.

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.

Vincent and Tifa connect at a wedding after a certain ninja meddles in their solitude. Afterward, Vincent wonders if he can have a normal life, then works with Reeve and the Turks to find former ShinRa scientists. Tags: slow burn, romance, hurt/angst, comfort/recovery, action in spurts, more action toward the end. [Vincent/Tifa]

"They are everywhere!" Rude frowned. Elena also appeared and both machines started cross fire, taking many of the drones down, but there were more coming. "Close the doors and hold on for something. I'll give 'em some warm up!"

"No story is not worth telling." - Angeal Hewley. I wanted to figure out the Love Triangle Debate for myself and ended up writing this monstrosity. Looks like a retelling, but actually something more. A story of love in supracanon timeline - starts at really the VERY beginning and goes all the way until... Cloti, Zerith, more info first chapter. LATEST: Gongaga and a shower

She is half Phoenix, and she is living in the Shinra Building and never allowed outside because her powers are too dangerous. She sneaks out to meet new friends or foes. Sephiroth is a strict brother to Cyrus, and he had to make sure she is kept safe from outsiders...even Hojo. One day when they are going to Nibelheim, things get confusing and out of hand.

People were running and screaming, more dead on the floor, the alarm system turned on and in the entire corridor spilled red light. Rufus himself could see something huge coming through the window, before he managed to cover his face it blew away the windows. The men keeping him safe fell at his sides, dead.

His eyes were thoughtful, and it had nothing to do with breaking the rules. A war was coming, it was here already. A few years ago a disaster happened, they barely survived. It was to repeat now, would they survive it for a second time? It was his battle too, his responsibility. Not because of his post, or that he was among the people who did this to the planet in a first place.

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.

Reno put gloves and mask on, got a sterile glass jar and a syringe from the storage, also one of the devices he used to make the portable shield. A single drop caused an explosion that made the table and all the containers crack. If it wasn't the shield he would die at that very same moment.

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!

Genesis had no idea what he was supposed to do as he watched the dark stain creep up towards the man's shoulder progressing far more rapidly than it really ought to. Genesis' festering wound had taken weeks to spread a handful of inches and these spiraling threads of decay were unfurling like some sort of viscous black fern beneath the skin. He had to stop it. Strifesodos Week '24

A story how a young dreamy woman yearns for adventure and romance. Nibelheim is a village in a remote region where very little seems to happen; however, Shinra is about to change all of that. The changes that make life easier come at a price. Claudia Strife longs for the day she can leave and find her own way.

Crisis Core. Zack really didn't need another emotional upheaval after Modeoheim. He definitely didn't need this one. How could Sephiroth be missing in action?

The world starts breaking apart and there are only five who are given the opportunity by Minerva to go back in time and change that future. Tseng, Genesis, Cloud, Vincent, and Weiss are sent back fourteen years...What could possibly go wrong?

Aboard the Shinra-8, Cloud and Tifa finally let go of their troubles and spend a little time together. Takes place during Chapter 5 of Rebirth.

A Stornello poem about Red XIII/Nanaki

"I'll do anything for the right price." Cloud had only meant the line to mean no job was too dirty for him, no monster too tough, no distance too far for this merc. So long as he was properly compensated of course. But never once did he think people would mistake him for a prostitute. Cloud/Harem

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.

"Calm down and act reasonably!" Rude took his gun from his hands by force and kept it away. "Reasonably? I swear, I will…" "…Shut your mouth" Rude finished for him. "We got into enough trouble lately. We are not bulletproof, Reno." "You have nothing to do with…" "You know if you drown, I drown. I'll never leave you in the mud."
