    Summary

    Cloud Strife, twenty one, is now on his third attempt at the SOLDIER exam. Or as he likes to call it: his last chance to not disappoint everyone back home.

    The problem isn't the fact he works more than sleeps, zipping to the Sector Seven Slums the second he can clock out of his day job, and then right back just to do it again the next day.

    No, the reason he's failed the exam twice now definitely has to be something else- probably him. Right?

    (And: Reno and co. wonder how someone so pretty can be so godsdamned stupid sometimes.)

    Summary

    During what should have been a very simple mission, Cloud Strife and Vincent Valentine fall into a pool of mako and end up in a similar, but different dimension where small changes have saved the world from certain destruction. After being found in a hidden Hojo lab, Cloud struggles to compare what he remembers to what he is being told. Nothing makes sense! And where is Vincent!

    Summary

    Cloud has been playing Cat-and-Mouse with Genesis for a while now. After all, they are supposed to be packmates, as appointed by the Goddess. But Cloud isn’t interested in his destined packmates anymore, especially not after Angeal’s betrayal of Zack, Zack’s death, and Sephiroth’s betrayal of everyone. Genesis is never going to win the game he insists on playing.

    So when Cloud wakes up in the past, he knows exactly what to do. His pack doesn’t deserve a second chance, but a lot of other people do.

    Genesis, meanwhile, only petitioned the Goddess to remedy his own mistakes. He didn't mean to take his surviving packmate along with him, but he won't object either. Cloud never believed his sincerity, but surely he will now that everyone has been given a second chance... right?

    Catch me if you can.

    Summary

    Cloud Strife was supposed to be ordinary.
    Too quiet to be noticed. Close enough to SOLDIER to believe he could earn his place through effort alone.

    When his body begins to change long after it should have, Shinra takes interest, and late blooms, once discovered, are still coveted.

    Offered protection through pack sponsorship, Cloud is forced to choose between safety and freedom, knowing that in Shinra’s world, being wanted has never meant being safe.

    Summary

    Cloud Strife was labeled defiant, a troublemaker, disciplinary case. But when Commander Angeal Hewley is called to punish him, he finds a different story written in bruises, missing files, and a boy too quiet for his age.

    As the Firsts uncover the truth, Cloud’s past begins to unravel, along with something deeper…
    He was never just another cadet.
