    Summary

    Clive looked out the door with a grimace.  The rain seemed to have set in, at least for the night.

    “I don’t think that’s going to let up until morning,” he informed Cid.

    “A…aye,” Cid muttered, eyes drifting to the hearth.  “No hope of l…lighting that unless we cannibalise the whole d…damned place.”

    “Which would defeat the purpose,” Clive added, holding back a wince at Cid’s stuttering, leery of triggering one of Cid’s sarcastic tirades.  He was a proud man, and that had never been in more evidence than in the last few months.

    “Fuck,” Cid spat, hugging himself.  “Regretting my insistence on g…getting out and about now.  Not the company, mind, just the f…fucking weather.”

    Summary

    "Sometimes he would wake up violent, swinging punches and fighting until Cid managed to get the half awake Clive pinned to the wall or the bed to get through to him. Some nights he would just scream, heartbreaking sounds of sorrow ripped from his throat, and Cid would hush him with gentle words of forgiveness until Clive calmed.

    At times when Cid was called away from the Hideaway, Clive would often end up barricaded in Cid’s solar, made to sleep on the couch as he wasn’t safe to be in the main barracks. Gav and Otto try to do their best to help, but it seems only Cid’s voice can get through to him. Only Cid could get through to his Clive."

    Working third shift as an uber driver has its flaws, but it also has unintended perks. Say, for example, meeting an exceptionally hot stripper.

    Summary

    Cloud looks up at him, eyes shiny still. He grabs Zack suddenly, by the collar, pulls him in close. Moments ago, Zack would not have begrudged this whatsoever, but now it doesn’t feel like Cloud is in the best headspace, and he’d rather, if Cloud is going to kiss him, that it be a less tearful event.

    “Cloud?” he asks.

    “I thought I could handle this. But you’re—” He shakes his head, then releases Zack so suddenly that Zack stumbles backward slightly, legs knocking into the couch next to them.

    Zack frowns. “I’m what?”

    Cloud pauses for a long moment. “You’re, well, you.”

    ---

    The gang gets reincarnated. This time, it's Zack who doesn't remember.

    Summary

    Not for the first time, Merlin contemplated how soulmate magic came into existence. Sometimes he wondered if it had been a spell or something that changed the very makeup of humanity. Or maybe it was something that was as ingrained into their species as thumbs?

     

    Whatever the reason—and the why and the how— Merlin knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that his soulmate, whoever it might be, was getting the shitty end of the stick considering how much he’d lost over the years.
