Summary
The Kaelmira.
Rare shapeshifters who can take on the form of a dragon with glowing eyes when in human form, either desired or feared for what they could do. In any case, most flee civilization to live on their own before their sold to the highest bidder for their abilities and magic or killed for their skin and heads.
Genesis, Sephiroth, Angeal and Zack had seen their fair share of the treatment their kind gets as they live together in a remote cave with only a lovely lady named Ifalna and her daughter as their only contacts with the outside world, but they are happy and content with their lives as long as they're together.
But then one night, Zack hears a scream from outside....

Summary
Zack Fair didn’t die outside Midgar. Shinra made sure of that...
Now, months later, Cloud comes face to face with a mask-wearing enforcer sent to eliminate high-threat targets. A perfect weapon, they say. Emotionless. Reconditioned.
But no matter how many memories they wiped, Cloud knows one thing:

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
Zack did not put kidnapping his way into single fatherhood on his bingo card for the year…did it count as kidnapping if Marlene was an orphan despite her insistence otherwise? He wasn’t sure. Either way, something close to fear was building in the air between him and the little girl sitting on his shoulders. He needed to answer.
“Yeah…we’re going to find your Daddy, kiddo.” -

When Sephiroth summoned Meteor, Gaia was destroyed, scattering those in the Lifestream across dimensions. Zack Fair had the fortunate of landing in the garden of the Beneviento sisters before the village was massacred, saving both himself and the sisters, Donna and Lucrezia from being killed by Ethan.
Zack, pledging to protect and follow the sisters to the grave, defended them until the end, where Miranda killed them all for handing over Rosemary's flask.
In the next life, Luce is lost back in time in the States, vowing to find Donna and Zack as she works her way through the unknown Hell with a mysterious redheaded stranger and cute rookie cop.

Summary
Cloud didn't ask to be sent back in time by the planet to fix all it's problems before they started. He certainly didn't ask to be de-aged into a literal child. At least he has Zack here to help share the burden and prevent him from having an existential breakdown. Too bad some SOLDIER showed up at Nibelheim and stole Zack away, huh?
Now Cloud's on a mission with a newly-freed Vincent to rescue his friend from the "evil clutches of ShinRa". But, just who was the mystery SOLDIER? And what does he have to do with Sephiroth?
[On indefinite hiatus]

Summary
He moves so fast that Sephiroth can only flinch before there’s a sword buried in his torso, pulled seemingly from nowhere. The umbrella is gone. Sephiroth chokes out a mouthful of blood, expression a rictus of shock. Masamune vanishes. His hands go to the sword buried in him.
“Enjoy hell, you Cloud-hurting son of a bitch,” Zack says pleasantly, and twists his arm.
