    Summary

    Cloud made it to Midgar. He even joined Shinra’s army, but there he stopped. He didn’t kill Sephiroth, and Hojo never knew he existed. He did his tour and got out.

    He settled into life under the plate, earning gil through odd jobs and scrounging the hills around Midgar for anything he could sell – mostly scales and claws from the monsters that attacked him.

    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.

    Summary

    When you join the Batfamily, you’re indirectly signing a cosmic contract agreeing that your life will become one long, morbid comedy — one that not even death is allowed to end.
    Jason Todd knows this better than anyone, and yet he still manages to be caught off guard when fate decides to mess with him.
    Four kids, a motorcycle missing half its tires, and one utterly stunned Red Hood mark the beginning of one of the biggest turning points in Jason’s life.

    Or

    Karma — also known as Clockwork — is a bitch who decided to drop four kids into Jason’s life, whether he wanted them or not.
    Follow Jason as he adapts to his new life as a single dad, all while trying very hard not to punch his brothers, who won’t stop laughing at him like a pack of unhinged, deeply annoying hyenas.
    At least Bruce seems thrilled with the whole situation, happily spoiling Dan, Danny, Ellie, and Jazz, his adorable grandchildren.

    Summary

    Jenova's death poisoned Gaia from the inside, and she withered away. Gaia rewinds time and starts over, again and again and again. Failure after failure leaves the planet desperate.

    If the Hero remembers, so too does the Son of the Calamity. The stronger she makes her Hero, the stronger Jenova makes her Son.

    To make a change that mattered, Gaia had to keep it small. Thirteen changes across eons cascade into differences significant enough to hopefully save the planet.

    Cloud is reborn into a different world, a different Nibelheim. Joining a Shinra like never before with his two military working dogs, he's fast tracked into Public Security Forces. SOLDIER not even a consideration and out of reach for Cloud.

    He makes new friends, different enemies, and attracts the unwanted attention of a silver-haired general all the while feeling as if the entire world is weighing on his shoulders though he doesn't know why.

    Or: The planet makes a few changes. Cloud remembers nothing but feels an odd overwhelming sense of doom. He has two new dog companions to help him navigate his new life that seem to cause more shenanigans than actually help. And Sephiroth has a curious hobby of cloud watching.

    Summary

    Sephiroth found the package in his mail when he entered his office that morning.

    Which was strange, because he normally didn’t get mail. Well, not personal mail. Or, at least, he never got to see it. Shinra screening tended to be rather thorough after all.

    To his surprise, the package held a... video game of all things. Final Fantasy VII? Huh. Useless waste of time... that Hojo would absolutely not approve of... perhaps just this once...

    xXx

    AKA a 'reading the books/watching the show/playing the game' fic with *GASP* an ACTUAL PLOT?!

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Chapter 55: the gang questions the intelligence of the characters but then try to start a war for no reason even though everything points to it being a bad idea. Also, i hate those little umbrellas. They never stay open all the way and break too easily. :( Also also, does future cloud sleep or do deliveries 24/7? Does his bike need fuel or is it a ghost bike?
