"The End is the Beginning" Introduction It was under heavy rainfall that Vincent Valentine arrived in Nibelheim that evening. The small village, whipped by the winds at the foot of Mount Nibel, had hardly any inhabitants left, so he encountered no one as he made his way through the town to the mansion.

Lazard sends Sephiroth and Zack to investigate possible Genesis clones hiding out in a mortuary. They find far more than they bargained for.

"She was kind, and strong, dedicated, a badass girl. At the end she was gone, none of us could help her. Still she saved all of us, giving her life."

"How's it feel to be a hero, saving the day?" "Like shit, yo. It ain't my thing." "Promise I'll make it worth your while later, yea?"

After clearing out the fiends for Jules outside his gym, Cloud and Tifa take a break to use the shower.

"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: Smut happens, also doesn't

Cloud, Tifa and Yuffie came after, Cloud had painted his face like a skull and was wearing a scythe, Tifa and Yuffie were dressed like sexy witches. "You kidding me." Reno and Rude stopped their game, staring at the man who just arrived after the group.

And they were fighting, all of them, with all possible resources. Genesis was sending deadly strikes, many Soldiers died, many still fighting. Chopper was in the air also shooting. Rufus was looking around, people from the crowd were joining. It was something unseen for Shinra leader by now, civilians fighting in the war of gods.

Slightly AU. The events at the Nibelheim reactor happen differently for Sephiroth. Four years later a mysterious man with silver hair and mako eyes is living in the Sector 5 Slums and getting on Aerith's nerves.

Twilight and Dawn verse, written for Sephiroth Week 2024. "I will always come back to you as long as you remember me." But what if Cloud doesn't remember? Some time after he and Sephiroth have become close friends, some mysterious force or person blocks his memories of Sephiroth and Sephiroth alone, sending them on a devastating downward spiral of heartbreak and doom.

"Damn it, that's one angry girl!" Reno hid behind one of the rocks that turned into shreds when she aimed at him. "I knew you like it dirty, but this crossed the line! You want it dirty, I'll give you what you want!"... "I think they officially broke up." Rude said, keep trying to shoot her.

"Would you like that for yourself? If it was you, to leave you there, with the mind of someone in your head? Leading you, changing you, making you kill people? If there was a chance for you to live?"

"I do care. That's why I'm leaving now. If I stay, I will become like you. I still know who I am and have the ability to make my own choices."

"Not the job I wanted for the day" Elena said, her voice muted by the mask. "Are we clo… Oh my god!" Reno who was a few steps forward, checking the path brought his weapon lightning fast and looked around. Here they were literally between the raw ground and the reactor corpus, searching for emergency exit to get in. It was dark, dirty, and cold. "I don't like this."

"I don't want this freak being on my back my entire life, giving me ultimatums, telling me how to live. And if I refuse to aim at my friends. I never signed up for something like that."

One day Cloud decides to buy a new, recently released fighting game, for Denzel. He had assumed it'd be a wonderful father-son bonding experience...only to get his virtual ass kicked!

Twilight and Dawn verse, post-Triplicate. Working late at night, the last thing Zack wants is to receive a horrifying, hysterical call from Cloud saying he killed Sephiroth. What happened to them and why are they in a cemetery? And is there any way to fix this disaster?

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.

They were heading to the press conference appointed for 2 pm, Rufus wanted to speak in front of the people. President knew how to allure his public and not to lose them.
