    Summary

    There’s a magician living in an abandoned warehouse down on the Tricorner Docks.

    Park Row has its fair share of strange tales and rumors floating through the cracks. The kids of the alley talk at length, telling ghost stories and cautionary tales. Passing advice on how to survive from one night to the next in the form of fun little parables that make the cold nights feel a little bit warmer, and maybe let them pretend that their lives are all a fun little game, just for a few moments.

    The magician, at first, feels like a fable. Something that a kid saw and read just a little bit wrong and didn’t wait around to find out what was really going on. The kid who spotted the magician – a 9 year old red-head with green eyes and a smattering of freckles across his pale face – tells the tale like a myth.

    A magician with golden hair and golden eyes, who clapped his hands together and rebuilt a car from scraps with a flash of light. Taking nothing in payment but a bottle of whiskey and a home-cooked meal.

    (Or: The one where Edward Elric ends up in Gotham, decides Jason Todd is his, and makes it Bruce Wayne's problem.)

    Summary

    Cloud travels back in time and finally has a chance to close the gaping holes in his memories. Yet with a mako-poisoned body, Shinra hunting him down, and a friend he barely remembers, the answers he finds might be worse than he imagined.

     

    And there’s not much time before the rain starts to fall.

    Summary

    "It's the damnedest thing, but I don't recall seeing the three of you at practice." Boots tap on the floor. "Am I to assume that you simply... forgot?"

    "Sorry, sir!"

    The response is immediate, and—

    and his voice sounds younger. His head is stuffed with cotton. The tone the military officer uses is familiar in its domineering condescension. Cloud is suddenly very, very small, and he is a face in a crowd of many and he is not special and he will never be because this is where you learn you are anything but. He thinks the infantry beside him parrot his apology, but it's a beat or two late.

    -

    Or: Cloud, Upper Junon, and what being back in the infantry means to him.
