    Most recent chapter: Reincarnation

    But that first naptime, as he drifted off, something stirred inside him that left his dreams uneasy.

    Cloud unfolded from within the child, like a flower blossoming. He was not real. He was the boy. He was himself. He was angry.

    He looked down at the silver-haired child before him. Looked down at him as he crouched behind his own reincarnation.

    “Why,” He asked the sleeping child, looking so innocent, so soft, so small. “Won’t you just stay dead?”

    “I could ask you the same.” Said a voice that did not come from the child’s mouth. Cloud watched Sephiroth fade into being. Spectral and dangerous and inhuman as ever. Not sweet, or innocent, or small in the slightest.

    He loomed behind his reincarnation. A doom over the child. A curse. His wing arching over his back marked him as inhuman. Cloud lay a hand over his reincarnation’s head, as if he could guard him.

    Summary

    When Cloud was sixteen and dreaming of becoming a SOLDIER, AVALANCHE blew up the Nibelheim reactor, scorching away any dark secrets that might be hidden inside.

    Shinra responded by sending two SOLDIERs to burn down the nearest town, just to send a message. Cloud Strife watched his hero set fire to the only home he’d ever known and vowed that someday, he would get his revenge.

    He spent most of the next five years in a mako tank as a willing test subject for a renegade Shinra scientist. Hollander had learned from his experiments in Banora and his time working by Hojo’s side. He was determined to get it right this time.

    At twenty-one, Cloud infiltrated the SOLDIER Program, hiding the extent of his enhancements to look like an average new recruit.

    He should have known Sephiroth would see right through him.

    ~An AU fic featuring: Cloud Strife as the stoic hero with nothing to lose, Tifa Lockhart as the spy who fell in love, and Barret Wallace as the fearless revolutionary. Starring Sephiroth as himself.~
