Patricide is Harder than it Looks by tunafishprincess

Summary
Cloud made a promise to Gaia, believing he would return to the past to stop Sephiroth from erasing Cloud’s existence. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned. It didn’t help that the Goddess elected to solve the issue of his continued existence through the use of Sephiroth’s cells. Couldn’t she have made him a bit bigger at least?
When Sephiroth was called to an emergency in Hojo’s laboratory, he didn’t expect to find the Professor dead, nor was he expecting to walk out a father to a mysterious five-year-old boy. Nor was Shinra, for that matter. Nevertheless, he’ll adjust. He hopes.
Shinra’s SOLDIERs hadn’t expected to babysit Sephiroth’s new son, who may or may not be looking to commit patricide.
(AKA Gaia saw Sephiroth needing a family and yeeted Cloud at him like a son-shaped grenade.)

Summary
If this were a different story, Zack thinks, he would be using his last moments to remember kind, green eyes and a sweet smile. He would be staring out into the raining sky, life running out of him, while making peace with the fact that he would never see his first love again. If this were a different story, Zack would not be left empty-handed, crying out as his friend stumbles away into the remnants of a battlefield. He would not be praying for that blond head to turn, aching to capture the final sight of a cherished face before locking it behind two lids.
No, this does not feel like a fitting end to this story at all―and Zack overflows with the one childish thought that this is unbearably unfair. In the rare moments that he, as any soldier must, contemplated his death, he never imagined that he would die alone.

Summary
Cloud’s memory is faulty. Sometimes, he’ll even catch himself speaking words that wouldn’t normally belong to him.
Me? I do a little bit of everything. Let’s mosey! SOLDIER First Class…
He knows whose words these are, knows whom he evokes.

Summary
“It reminds me of Wutai,” Sephiroth said. “It was always so beautiful.”
Cloud raised his eyebrows. Good moods were becoming more and more frequent for Sephiroth, but happy stories were just as rare as they had ever been.
Cloud Strife swept Sephiroth away years ago. He saved him from the Shinra Company, but it was too late to save him from a troubling childhood. Some mornings he wakes up miserable.
This morning, he wakes up in a good mood, good enough to tell Cloud a story.
